peramene, you need to find yourself some pera-graphs :glomp:

While it's too early to make a hard call on this and I acknoweldge that it's not out of character for pera, I would call that a scum post since (a) she's basically just flattering a bunch of players while (b) not really adding any value in terms of scumhunting / observations about this current game. She claims to have skimmed the thread but then most of her observations are about other games.

I agree with this, which is why I want her to address my question specifically and succinctly since it's one of the only game-related things she said in there.

sara when someone gives you coaching in your scumdoc you shouldn't backpedal so hard that you generate lift

The day someone who hasn't earned it gives me "coaching" in a scumdoc is the day I out them as scum in thread without warning and build a FF3-KB style case out of thin air to bury them so far down underground their only option is to build a case that is easily disproven against me so that we secure the win on the crumbling ashes of their hubris

Bifauxnen posted:

I'm a little confused, is that post trying to say Asiina: Town, obviously? Or should we go more by the tl;dr ending summary, of don't trust Asiina just because she's posting?

Apologies for lack of clarity. This might help: "I came here today with the intention to do one thing, because she was posting. But then I realized she may have taken into account my advice from last game, and look what she's choosing to do with it." It's not necessarily scummy, it's not a case, it's just something I wanted to point out. I don't think we should trust Asiina's meta this time around. I think she's gotten more confident and might just be ready to take a stab. Or - more likely - she is just town. All I am meaning to say is don't trust that meta like a drat fool.

pera, why do you think I mischaracterized your initial post?

Thank you for asking! I tried to make this clear with my italics. I said I wasn't going to be around for approximately the first half of D1, meaning today. I am actually here, QED. Just saying that I said half a day, and you appeared to be characterizing me as skipping the entirety of D1 while the goddamn shitlords ran their gamut. No. No. No. The second half of D1 - tomorrow - tends to be where things start becoming relevant. At least to me, excepting the people I know, love, cherish, adore, enjoy, etc. simply by knowing them. Fair enough?

Especially since there's some heat on me, I'm just gonna make comments as I skim.

You have time to write your novel, I see, but not enough time to read the thread?

Also, why bring up other games so extensively when that can only be used to make meta cases? Meta cases that you're not even making in this game.

The excessive attempt at making people think you're engaged with this game is extremely transparent.

But I'm not participating in some town slapfight resulting in yet another totally pointless d1 lynch. i don't get why this community is obsessed with slaughtering town as quickly as they possibly can - d1 the odds are just loving against us, we have a majority, and okay, maybe you get lucky and you hit someone you actually wanted to hit? How often has this ever happened? Are there stats? Goons? Surely somebody's done the math. I'm not even reading the rest of this poo poo until actual stuff starts happening other than "white noise" or whatever we call it here.

Which appears to be saying that D1 lynches are almost always town and so D1 arguments are pointless, which is what I have a problem with. D1 may not be successful in catching scum the majority of the time, but that doesn't therefore mean it's right to check out of D1. You're not the first person to make this argument, but it's always a bad one for the reasons I'm saying.

So do you still believe this? How do you respond to my post now that you know what I'm talking about?

And yet, every single time, she ends up being cased the same way like this. "oh she sounds fake", "oh she sounds manufactured", usually without much else to say about it. Maybe it's just a personal thing I'm wired to notice more cause I feel like I get the same treatment a lot, but I think if I can notice the trend by now you guys should too and maybe it's just trying to push known buttons on purpose.

This has nothing to do with anything but if you're going to claim credit for calling me as scum in Swan Song you need to put an asterisk next to your town wins record because town got crushed that game :j:

With that said, I feel like constantly referring to past games probably comes off as annoying/frustrating/isolating for players who weren't in those games, so I'm going to propose we limit that in the future (unless it's something that obviously seems like it could be relevant, such as the fact that choice D was always bad in FF3).

My gut leans town on pera right now, because (a) I don't think anyone (even her) would be that stream of conscious-y in their first scum game and (b) a lot of people are jumping on that vote and I'm not seeing a whole lot of resistance to it which makes me think it's a mislynch that scum is trying to help push.

I have a guess as to who your character is and I sent it in to CPig so I can see if I was right after the game :eng101:

Which posts of mine were you referring to when you said you read half of them? I don't really think I've said anything that would shed light on any characters in this game.
