And as typically scummy as it is I agree with Moat about lurkers. Were I scum in a game this large and this early on, I'd feel NO need to stick out my head and become a target. We really often forget about them, and that really works well to their advantage. In the same breath those that use clamming up as a tactic instead of engagement ping me, because they're hoping we just forget what they're doing.

For example:

Dear Lord,

You should participate more. I find it suspicious you only seem to appear when referenced directly. The game is big and there's a lot of information but someone here looks preoccupied only with themselves.

You'd have been better off giving straight town reads instead of weakly dropping opinions such as these. Considering you're vote on me was one of the worse me-too's we got, I don't think you really have much to say. So instead of actually looking for content you're being forced to whip up some weak non-cases.

Speaking of whipping up non-cases, what's your actual motivation for trying to cut me down here? You seem to very badly want to imply that I'm scum but can't muster up gumption to do it. I won't argue that my posts were anything essential, I'm very sick and very tired and very busy, but that's why it's so weird that you jumped down my throat.

You're attacking my tone and language rather than any argument, your breakdown is entirely rhetorical and lovely.

I mustered the gumption though? I voted you. And my very first line included the phrase "...you're scum".

And I respect if you're feeling down and out. It's good you made the effort to show up and if this the best you can do given your situation, well then I read the thing wrong. Yet, given how much time is left in this D1 you could've taken some more time off and not troubled yourself with out missing much and going on noticed. The question is then why push yourself to make an effort when you have all the time in the world to later to do so?

As for tone and language, that's how I play:

100YrsofAttitude posted:

I try to read the tone and bias of a player through their words. Feel free to judge how effective that is.

For someone who is voting me you don't seem to be reading my posts very carefully.

Somberbrero posted:

To clear that up that was just a direct response to you saying, "Am I missing anything else there?" So I respond, "Not there. You're missing the fact you are scum."

Somberbrero posted:

Well, no. I feel like the intent was pretty clear.

You imply that he's scummy for rolefishing, however, rolefishing is often a direct ticket to being Scum and gets votes on you (look at: Pmom's case on me.) You neither call him scum nor do you vote him. You're making a call of sorts maybe hoping it gains tractions before you can land on it yourself. I couldn't say what your ultimate intention was. It was a weak scum-call, at any rate, maybe that's all you meant by it, though I cannot imagine what purpose it serves you.

Somberbrero posted:

Gosh I should really know better than to come at TMM with a 'chill out dude.' I hope the resulting drama from that post doesn't obfuscate our current dialog.

First thing you say is that you'd vote him for his outburst alone. That's exactly what he was arguing against so vehemently. Getting a player annoyed and flustered is a great way to have them monopolize the dialogue making it easy for others to keep out of the main action and with any luck get votes on a hapless victim. I think you're more aware of what that comment could do than what you're admitting.

Somberbrero posted:

What's pointless about it? These two posts are less than a day apart, click back for context.

Considering the time-stamp you're more in the right here. Yet, you don't end on a definitive call or action, and this line, "i feel like his name was coming up often during my reread, was there anything else I was missing there?" particularly the final question feels like you're asking for someone to come in and strengthen your case before you do anything about it.

If I came off strong it's because I believe what I'm saying here. This isn't a smear-job though, and don't try to downplay it as nothing more than that. I'm calling you scum because you made a bunch of scummy reads, and I'm voting you because I'd like to see less scum in the game in the coming days.

Max is mostly poo poo-posting BUT:

Max posted:

Reads a bit like caught scum that don't like how they were caught, but he may also just be angry.

This is a bad post in regards to TMM and is exactly the sort of thing I'm calling Somber on.

Most other players have either posted very little overall, if at all, or have pursued threads of some variety or other in more concrete fashion.

I think 100yrs is making good points on somber, and at first I thought he was pushing too hard on little things, but after seeing somber's reaction, I've changed my mind. Calling 100yrs case a "ham fisted smear job" sounds like something a surprised scum would say. Somber is a good vote today.


As are these two folks:

its me glenda posted:

##unvote

##vote tpink


in all seriousness i dont think 100 is scum and i like uraniums breakdown of tpink. tpink is also using lots of emotes which i always see as a minor scumtell same with overusage of ellipses. it does look like tpink wants to lay groundwork on people eyeing him so when he votes that way it doesn't come off as omgus. motive behind post looks fishy.


pinterest mom either doesnt know who i am or is scum

its me glenda posted:

i think 100yrs is just neurotic and overposting because theres so many people playing on this day one but thats my read.

This is pretty much the entirety of glenda's actual post history, unless some of the things I thought were jokeposts were serious. Now a lot of people don't have much content (myself included, yes), but glenda has quite a few posts and they're mostly chaff.


As for the other

I like killing lurkers as much as the next guy, but we have players actively playing as scum so it seems counter-intuitive to do so.

It seems the weakest case of the 3 at that too, but I know that I often like to end a post on a vote for the finality it gives it. Also I tend to prefer cases I make myself than me-tooing other people but those are the only ways I can think of excusing Mithross.

I like to end with the person I'm going to vote on so my vote appears at the end of the post.

Also choosing moritz specifically out of the three was because he has a tendency of posting immediately after someone comments on him or votes him, and I wanted to see if that would happen again.

It did.

And his post still wasn't great, and had nothing to do with my call out on him not really playing. In fact, it was an excuse to continue not playing (don't have to case if you want to vote a lurker). I like lurker votes, but not in a huge d1 game. it's easy for people to get intimidated, we have people actively acting scummy, and of any day, day 1 is a day we need to establish connections not kill someone who hasn't posted anything. The long slog middle days are lurker vote days.

the number of times people actually find scum in day 1 is much lower than townies being bad and getting lynched because they act scummy

and I had too many games where town threw because they don't want to kill lurkers for some reason. the sooner people get punished for no posting, the better and the game quality would actually increase with the days instead of reaching the dull mid point where the vocal players just lynched each other and the maf wins.

of course, you are allowed to disagree :)
