primarily pot luck

he's saying "oh this is super scummy, I'm going to vote, can someone confirm this is scummy for me"

This pings me real bad for some reason, I dunno. I need time to think on it, but Ridonkulous going full ham on Ixt and then letting go without ceremony after it's obvious no one is jumping in, yet spending so much time in the circlejerk.

And also never actually voting on him. It strikes me as Bad, but in the same breathe it seems like such a stupid play for scum to do immediately at game start that it seems unlikely to amount to anything and I DON'T LIKE IT I'M AMBIVALENT SEND HELP

##vote Ridonkulous the most scummy right now with this argument I guess but I dunno I really would like a ~~~second opinion~~~

Which seems like the exact opposite of calling someone is "super scummy", which was your read. So either you are faking an opinion or you need to explain better to me what you saw here that I didn't!

Then we have conflicting reads, because I don't read ambivalence there, I'm looking at someone whos trying to have someone else justify his vote.

As for your continued usage of "super scummy" as a method of diminishing my read, I'll remind you that he has specifically said

Maybe "super" was a bit of an overexageration, but it's how I type, and it's what I took from his post.

nah that vote is actually me being unsure, with the subject (at the time) rubbing me the wrong way but I wasn't one hundred percent on it and was prompting a few people to weigh in or not with their opinion on it. Just letting it go felt after being so stubborn felt super weird to me and just taking the easy way out after a failed tunneling. The vote has been solidified with later posting.

you can't both give someone poo poo for hedging and then give them poo poo for putting a vote down but with a shadow of a doubt as if everyone is going to go "yeah 100% scum right here" on every encounter, lol.

That said please explain how it's a lovely reason. Person goes ham trying to stir poo poo immediately D1 and then lets it go after it's obvious no one is going to jump in it without comment or even bringing it up again, with they themselves having a flimsy and already explained away case yet still trying to noisily push it. That is not a lovely reason imo, but the dilemma was if it was just lovely towning or trying to tunnel someone hard.

That's basically my point, though. I'd expect a town TMM to case/engage me, if he indeed thinks I'm using faulty logic consistent with what scum does. Concluding "I don't know if MMT is scum" with no follow-up seems scummy to me.

TMM - Who is your biggest scum read to this point?


Apologies if I missed this but can you explain why you're more suspicious of Kash than anyone else?

But again, why should I bother to engage/case you in a 25 person game when you're the only vote on me and a few people had called it out as a bad vote? You dropped a contentless vote on me and I rarely engage those unless there's already momentum on me. Just look here is your vote and immediate follow up:

Murmur Twin posted:

##vote TMM

I have a theory.

Murmur Twin posted:

It's mostly meta and not something I want to specifically say at this point. I will definitely address it later.

To me, it was plainly obvious what you were trying to do, so why should I bother to engage with it? Frankly, it's more fun to ignore it and watch you get bothered by it. You're essentially making meta argument against someone who has admitted that he likes to play with his own meta by bringing his scum tells into his town game instead of the other way around.

As for me ending with I don't know if you're scum, it's just the truth. I think you are most likely town trying to make that play, but there is still the outside chance that you're scum and trying to get me to burn the thread down on D1. If there had been some follow up votes, I almost certainly would have had a different reaction.

I'm still working on my scum reads, I tend to work a little slower in the bigger games and don't throw my vote around as much. Right now, I'm a bit suspicious of Exakt; I don't like that she is just sniping with her few posts and I especially don't like the way she has dropped shade on me. I'm a little curious about why diqnol included me in his catapult thoughts. He named me, Podima and Birdstrike as three people he is thinking about launching. Podima is who he is currently voting and Bird is one of the people who voted him last night (and he has said he thinks one of the votes on him is scum), but I'm not sure why I got included in the mix. However, I don't really know if I fully believe his claim, so I just let it go at the time. Also think it's curious that he left bowmore off his catapult list when he had earlier said that bowmore had the worst vote. While one of the votes on diqnol may be scum, I think it's more likely a scum bussing/distancing himself from diqnol.

And now it's time to go finish Life is Strange.
