Match Overviews
Absurd Revolver vs Azuth0667
AA's been showing his strong scum game this season, and he's against another lurker!
What make Azuth0667 a contender is that, unlike vector_to, he doesn't have consistency in his lurking! This isn't his normal play!
And it can easily be argued that AA's not scummy, just really dumb and new!
But wait! The judge has ruled that AA's posts are scummy because he's dumb and new, he doesn't know any better! So he lets out his scumminess every post!
His strong meltdown is fake as hell, and he throws around his vote on whatever he thinks will get attention off himself! A jj omgus! A vector_to lurker bandwagon! Back to jj because he sees the momentum shift a bit!
It's too much! Absurd Reolver takes it home! Azuth0667 never stood a real chance.

MG3 vs Shadow0
This is probably the least content we've ever had to work with in a match, viewers. They're both just sitting there, telling jokes.
The jokes aren't even funny.
In the end, just like his match, it's Shadow0's bandwagon vote that gets him the victory. Can this one-trick pony make it any further?

JakeP vs Anomalous Amalgam
Two people who some think can win it all, but will our judge agree?
The judge keeps giving "Legitimacy" penalties to both sides! There's just too open and honest, despite otherwise decent scum-play!
Anomalous Amalgam's main strength are his ties to Absurd Revolver!
It carries him through this game, but it's only because JakeP didn't have his own uniquely scummy saving grace. His unexplained secret unvote on jon joe won't carry him twice. AA wins!
Afterwards, a reporter goes up to JakeP and asks "Why will you not vote Jon Joe anymore?" Hmm, the reporter must be working for an enemy team, trying to make him look less scummy. What will he say?

Up next, round 2.5, it's reigning champion AR vs Shadow0! Will he beat yet another lurker, or will there be an amazing upset?

No overview. There was no upset. AR absolutely crushed the lurking Shadow0, for reasons that should be obvious from previous games.

It was 122 to 7.

Shiiiit.

Up next, the more exciting(?) Final Round!

AA, who do you think is scum besides JJ?

Absurd Revolver wins!

Why? How? When? What? Who? Why?

The main difference one can see between Absurd Revolver and Anomalous Amalgam is that there is tension in every one of Absurd Revolver's posts, even when he's trying to be funny. AA is natural, funny, smooth, so even though some of his shots are on-point for a scum game, his strongest power - his relation to AR - is nullified in a game against AR.

AR just lets his scumminess and worry leak out of every post. He tries to smile, and it fails, and that's why he is the 2016 Ultimate Scum Champion!

Congratulations.



You win a trophy.

I like these, personally, but they were from a game I ran so I'm biased:

The Carpet Shark posted:

I think I got everything so far



Most of the people have been tracked. People who were tracked can't be scum lying about their results unless the person who tracked them is also scum.

Here's what I think the most likely possibilities are:

A) One of the three untracked people also visited KingB and killed them. That would be Roy, Goo or Ac. Roy seems incredibly unlikely so I'm ruling that out.

B) Ghastly Gangsta killed KingB in addition to tracking him.

I know you've been MIA with a busted comp, but a cursory glance at their post histories will more than justify me calling them out. Like I said, I don't have any die hard scum tells right now. I thought JJ was a bit scummy, but his chart, although gimmicky, does convey his opinions a bit better than the wall o' text from earlier. JJ still kind of pings me but not as much as he did earlier.

These guys I've called out either are all poo poo posts or non factors in this game.

Anyway, I voted for Rarity because she was unfun.
I'd've done it with or without the bandwagon.
And for not understanding our RuneScape references.

Statistically jon joe is probably town.
I have to sleep soon. :(
I don't have a feel for anyone yet, I guess I'll come hammer or something if it happens in an hour, but I'm just gonna sit on my Rarity vote for now.
I just hope none of the fun players are scum. :(
