I think she means more "ecco is posting in a manner that seems like she's putting in a ton of effort but is in fact saying nothing?" Where do you get "I agree with Ecco's points but know she is FAKING THEM" from her statement?

because if pmush actually had something substantive to say about my posting itself she would have said so. the case was, remember, "ecco just wants to be seen saying the words they're saying rather than for their meaning." (that's literally the entire case.) The implication isn't "ecco said bad things," since if I did that would be a much better case. The implication is in fact "what ecco is saying is good, but they're only saying it to look like they're being helpful."

It's you who's inferring more from the case, not me.

See and the reason I think you're scum on a gut level is because of how unhelpful and dismissive you are being. You come in guns blazing "I'm gonna make sure we all follow the rules & make this mafia game good!" and then when people start talking about ways to not gently caress this game up you go "whoa whoa whoa slow your roll mister, why you trying to boss people, that's FAKE" which directly contradicts what you did yourself, initially.

i think you're standing behind a lot of words without saying very much. if you really want me to go ahead and break down your posts on a point by point level to explain that i guess i can, but your response will probably just be "nah you're misreading me there" so why bother?

I'm going to try to make this a good game of mafia by posting my thoughts and making cases and prodding people to do the same.

"Remember, tomorrow could be exlo!" is not being helpful. That's the difference! There isn't any contradiction here.

You're manufacturing a problem, like you manufactured a problem earlier with my interpretation of pmush's posts.

1) if you want someone using a lot of words without saying very much, look at pera.

2) "I could make a case but you'd just dismiss it so why bother?" loses town the game. If you think I'm scum make the case so others can see and respond to it. Sure, I'm likely not going to think it's very good, but who cares what I think, I don't and I'm me.

3) that you are reluctant to back up your words is Scummy. It suggests you realize your content is fake and you instead look for an excuse not to support it.

While Quids "why bother" is a proper concerning, eccos posts on this page are hugely suspect. Your "quality" binge for the first three pages followed by "I said my part I'm done"? And now pushing with a dismissive aloof tone? I think you're feeling a little heat and are trying to downshift how much you're in everyone's focus.

I think you're scum and I'm going to vote you when we get closer to deadline. I'd put you at -1 but I'd like to hear from BK first.

BK still hasn't posted yet today despite being around in discord.

AYC's deep concern about saying I'm scummy but never voting for me is old and bad.

Quid has done a handful of crappy things today (the bait and switch with pera, manufacturing problems with my posting twice) and I'm fine with my vote there.

mushroom hasn't posted anything substantive and new since that bad case. congrats on the worm assignment but please recognize you're not helping the town right now.

I had hoped while I was out more posting would have happened instead of me arguing with gnats but wishes and horses and all that.

That's an interesting way to characterize my posting. One can hardly blame me for hitting Quid - without a vote, I reiterate - based on his earlier posting. I would wager that he gets it and can handle day one pressure. Now maybe he and I have a bit of in-speak that doesn't mean anything to you, but Quid understands and since I'm talking to Quid, that's what's up.

The quoted post above isn't scummy, it's just rude for no reason. But as typical as that is for you, the remainder of your argument with Quid - what's the point of sending him on a fetch quest?

BK - I can't keep using our friendship to update the thread on your status, you gotta get in here, hon.

In the time since my last check-in I haven't seen any hellos like I asked for, and god drat it, I'm trying, so I'm a little disappointed. Anomalous Amalgam (I think we actually have played before, come think of it. An FF game? No idea.) & areyoucontagious, wussup? Who scum?

I'm Sara, I make long posts that nobody reads and live-think my (usually not very good) scumhuntin'. I got King Burgundy loving solid once and it was a thing of beauty.

pera primer:

I am not voting Ecco today, OOG reasons, focusing elsewhere. Though I am wary about the mush-mash Quid-vote. Isn't this sorta bait-and-switch exactly what you called Quid out on earlier?

Ecco's case on mush is logical, I just doubt that it's sound. It's kinda like voting me just because you don't read my posts rather than than because of content. I'm useless on mush and can barely read their posts. Guys? Preview edit: Jeez, Mush. Getting some momentum on Ecco and... I mean I guess it's not that insulting. Ugh, though. (PS is it "customary" or "necessary"?)

Obvi I've got no additional info on BK other than where the situation is at, frankly maybe he forgot the game was on. Kash, modprod maybe? It'd be a shame to lose a townie because of totally understandable forgetfulness.

Those're the folks I'm familiar with, let's take a peek at you two.

areyoucontagious posted:

Real talk[,] pera, probably. [Quid] seem[s] flippant and finger-pointy

I completely misunderstood your intent in this post. I was sitting here like "me? finger-pointy? aight I guess so"

You're alright by me so far. I think you're snooping and snooping is good. This most recent interaction with Ecco, man, we'll have to revisit tomorrow. I don't like that pivot but that could be exasperation setting in. Ecco's like me in that she doesn't do anything half-assed, but she thinks flip flappers is a farce anyway and for all we know it could be.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

For the content game: I'd give it to pera. Seems true to what I've seen of them. Alternatively, BK.

I propose a different content game though...

Handing out cops is cool, but who would you cop, who would you doc, who would you kill!?

I missed this entirely.

Cop: Mush
Doc: myself obviously
Kill: ehh... like if I had a vig? I'm not great with math but if there's 2 scum - I gently caress up w/ town Quid, we end up lynching Mush or BK, then a nk? Not to accuse you three directly, that's game, right? gently caress up the vig, gently caress up the lynch, gg. Gun to my head otherwise: BK, from Dalaran with Love.


Come to think of it, asking this question feels like asking the room who to lynch. Cool trick if so imo.

I'll be honest. I hate eccos posting style. She (he?) comes off like a real rear end in a top hat. Which in and of itself isn't scummy, just off putting. What really gets me is this forcing of the narrative to put her above reproach through demeaning other people and posting a lot. poo poo talking everyone's points isn't necessarily quality posting. Maybe I'm being naive and that's just how ecco posts, but it rubs me the wrong way.

I'll read through her posts again and do a better job of reading through the assholery, but I haven't been impressed thus far.

I was getting dressed and was feeling annoyed that I was carrying water for him. Quid responding to my concerns would have made me feel better about him, but I was tired going out of my way to help him help me.

peramene posted:

the bait-and-switch situation:
quidnose said that he wasn't sure if my vote on him was a joke because you appeared like you were taking it seriously. However, he held me accountable for your behavior rather than you - and that read to me as scummy. So it's not really analogous to my feelings on quidnose and pmush, where I am just going back and forth on which of the two is scummier. But it helps that both could be scum. Though...

peramene posted:

Ecco's case on mush is logical, I just doubt that it's sound. It's kinda like voting me just because you don't read my posts rather than than because of content.
My situation right now is figuring out if people's posts are scummy because they're bad at mafia (or logical thinking, or reading comprehension, or...), or if they're scummy because they're scum.

I'm currently thinking pmush is less likely to be scum than Quidnose, but I still don't like either of them tbh and I think the town would be better off if both of them took a long walk on a short pier.

Posting a lot is only scummy if the posts are empty nonsense, which, I'm just speaking objectively here, they're not. I'm producing content, I'm responding to people's posts, I'm making cases. I don't mince my words when people make bad posts and I won't apologize for it.
