SamVimes is scum IMO. It's entirely meta, but most of the time that he plays he tries to piece the game together in whatever ways make sense to him. Here he's being careful, critical and very very reserved. He is having none of our frivolity. I think he is scum.

##vote SSV

woah someone who actually has a reason for voting me!!!

Ernie, you seem rather commited to the vote on me. Can you give a reason beyond "corrupting the game with my lackadaisical approach to mafia"?

##vote SSV

I don't like this vote rationale. Generally I think that approach can be useful to town. Specifically I recently modded scum SSV and I don't think he was particularly careful or reserved.

I don't think being reserved is useful to town. Being reserved is being self-conscious, and town has no reason to be self-conscious. It's a presentation. It's scummy.

It just looks like a terrible case to me. SSV is taking the game a bit more seriously and that makes him scum? That's doesn't seem like a good reason at all to vote for him. Scum probably want the more reserved, analytical posters gone to escape scrutiny and this is what you're suggesting.

I also don't see what you're getting at in SSV's meta

You're voting SSV because he is being reserved and calculating, which fits his scum meta?

I agree being reserved could be a scumtell, but I haven't seen it in SSV's scum meta, in fact I've seen him be really outgoing as scum. I don't see his being quiet as an act.

I thought your play yesterday was scummy and today's vote on SSV hasn't dissuaded me at all.

Well then we just disagree. From the times I've played with him he seems different and plodding. If he's intentionally playing differently then that's super unhelpful as town, but more likely just scum.

We're free to disagree. I really don't like you disagreeing with me and then voting me, that just seems really lazy and a bad precedent.

This is a horrible post. It's an analysis of how another player plays based solely on BK's opinion of how to play. You cannot analyze playstyles in a vacuum where all players play the same as you and will make the same decisions as you do about how to play, and it needs to be more in relation to how the player you are analyzing plays normally. I think this is BK trying to look like he's putting in serious effort, while instead pushing a really terrible and weak case ##vote BK

My argument isn't that you're making a meta case, it's that you're making solely a meta case well into d2. You are blatantly misrepresenting the point of my post in an effort to act like what I say lacks meaning. What posts stick out? What about them irk you? I, for example, was in on the general chat that was happening and when SSV brought up the fact that it's sketchy for people to be trying to derail the game I began to look at others in the conversation more heavily because I agree with it.

You are nitpicking so hard. Almost nobody is throwing around votes with diligent, multi-quote posts. I think he's scummy and while I'm okay with people disagreeing with my read of SSV, I don't think I'm scummy at all for it.

I just think the level of scrutiny I'm getting is completely ridiculous in this game of all games. There have been so many lovely votes, many of them on me in fact!

If you are going to make a vague case, you should at least have some evidence to back it up BK. Show me an example of the below

The fact you are so quick to go on the defensive rather than support your case just further solidifies the weakness of your case to me.

I'm pushing a case that I am saying over and over again is a gut read. You clearly understand that because I've said it enough times.

You think that's a weak case. That's okay. The reason I'm defensive is because you haven't answered the question: Why is that scummy?

Your case is even worse. Pushing a gut read case doesn't make me scum. So what does?

Even gut reads have some reason you feel that way. My case on you is rather than further discuss your case, you went to immediately putting me down and invalidating my opinion. When asked to elaborate, even a little, you were hostile and flat out denied the option to make a more conclusive case.
