I mean it's nice to say "oh let's scumhunt instead of going for the obvious target" but if there's someone who isn't going to play the game and you're completely unable to determine his alignment because of it, then in absence of something stronger I see no problem with anyone who votes for him.

And I assume Kash was being genuine when he agreed taht scum claiming is a null tell

If you think about it town is more likely to scum claim anyway.

Being terrible has nothing to do with alignment. Do you really think a scum player is more likely to claim scum than a trolly town player?

I'm indifferent to the scum claim, but annoyed at someone who is never going to play.

It's like imgay when he first started and I really don't want to get into a lylo situation with that kind of attitude again.

That said, I don't want to stop discussion. I'll try to read over Somber and see if I can pin down this feeling I'm having.

Somber D1 he sat on Tomm for a while although never fully explained it.

Whole lot of white noise in the past page. I don't like drinking as an excuse for scummy play, I will still be voting Tom.

Somberbrero posted:

My initial vote on you was because your kashuno vote gave me weird vibes and I wanted to see how you reacted. I'm feeling pretty good about my vote.

Nobody ever questioned Somber to ask him to explain what the vibes were and what reactions by Tomm made him feel good. Somber please do that now.

The post that set me off today was this though:

Somberbrero posted:

What makes you think there was a good faith attempt? If anything you've mostly laughed off the BigUp case. Why would it make sense for you to back up Exakt here?

I feel like he's making something up about Jake here when Jake asks for Kash's reasons for believing that Exakt was making a bad faith case (aka a scum case). I don't see how doing this is defending Exakt at all.

It's still a pretty vague feeling though, nothing definite.

Somber answer my question about Tomm and D1, I want to talk more with you.

I could see Somber and Tomm both being scum. Especially with the way tomm seems to be under the impression Somber is scum day 1, makes a case, and then abandons it completely to vote bigup dj.

I don't think a person who genuinely believes someone to be scum would abandon that to apathy lynch someone, and then come back the next day, and double down on the apathy lynch

Everyone wants to lunch you. Those who don't want to lunch you are too divided and/or distracted by the other idiots to make a strong case on anyone else.

That multiple vote flip onto bigup after Exakt claimed is utter bs. I don't buy bigup as scum and would happily vote any of those clowns.

Not too impressed with the push on exakt either as it happens and since it turns out there's a common element:

It's a pattern of shifty voting practices, thank you very much. The bigup vote all but admits you don't think he's scum but is acting like your actions are justified anyway and the other is a night-kill spec related meta case, on a person you've, in the height of irony, also attacked for pursuing bad cases. I don't see this as town behaviour therefore yes, scum. thnx

That's true. It's a nulltell since I have done it as both alignments, but without experiencing lots of games with me you wouldn't know that. I don't think your vote on me is scummy, just misguided.

I'm not being sarcastic at all. I claimed scum in Isaac mafia and I was a BP town. Merk claimed scum in Drugs mafia and was godfather. A scumclaim has no bearing on the game and the fact so many people are like "WOW SCUM CLAIM IS A GOOD REASON" is stupid. I can, and have made the case, that voting DJ to remove a distraction from the game is a good idea because it is the center of conversation for all players and a flip could tell a lot, but I'd like to at least try to look at other options while they're around.

DJ, who are you feeling for scum atm?

I mean this is like patently false, I don't get why you would say this/vote someone without even giving a cursory glance over their content. It feels like trying to get people to look at someone other than DJ in a very very minute way. I could see jake/dj scum team from this.
