i dont like the small mack vote. i dont like a lot of the reasons for it. i dont think a person (re: eight dollar) asking a lot of questions on d1 is inherently scummy.

i think bringing up other games d1 for any kind of justification of player read is dumb and does not help people who were not participants of said game, they are forced to go back and read that poo poo which lets be real nobody has time for.

i still like where my vote is, i am also comfortable voting for peramene or king burgundy today. i don't read enough to vote for anybody else.

So from what I can tell, you want to vote me for making your life harder. This has nothing to do with looking for scum and seems like it's coming from a place of scum mind to me.

Mith is starting to ping me

The fact that he quantified his reads as "slightly intoxicated" pinged me as slightly scummily self-consciousness. That by itself wouldn't bother me, but he then follows it up with town reads and cases on lurkers which are both things that I usually attribute to scum (because they're easy to make).

I agree with this. He shortly thereafter threw a bit of shade at Somber and Glowku, but I can't even tell if he thinks they are scum or just doesn't like how disengaged they are.

Not the bif thing, or the confusion (I mean, I was in the same boat), but just sharing information that we don't *know* that the scum had seems pretty dumb to me. Anti-town is definitely overstating my case, and as has been pointed out it's possible that they *did* have it, but I just don't like it.

Although, now this has me running through scenarios, if scum *did* have it from the start, we're probably better off now than we were before it was out in the open.

The one thing I think is weird in the Quid/MMT thing is how hard Quid keeps pushing that he hasn't been following the original Hats interaction.

Quidthulhu posted:

But full disclosure, I haven't had time to read the initial interaction that everyone's talking about, so I'm looking more at how people are discussing it than the actual event. In that regards, I think you're being genuine.

quote:

I've already said that I haven't really reviewed all the N0 setup spec stuff and have been looking more at what people are saying about it / each other because I think that's more useful. You are picking some Hats quotes that are before the delineation I posted of my suspicion.

It's odd because he's addressing MMT's argument, but not actually talking about what MMT is asking him for. Like why not just go back and say, "I don't find that that scummy" or "I agree with X" instead of avoiding talking about it at all? It's not like it would take a lot, since he's said he's paid attention to the aftermath.


Yeah, but she's dropped another vote on him, and her argument isn't even "this guy could be scum." It's just "this guy did something that is anti-town" for reasons. Like this stuff:

quote:

I stand by my standing vote, and the fountainhead of my read is that assuming scum has a vanilla PM and explicitly starting the flavor of town alignment is playing against that alignment, intentionally or not. Refusal to see that, I don't care why, is just about as scummy as I can comfortably day say anyone gets d1. If he's town, per his own admission, who gives a poo poo?

Reads more like trying to find a reason to justify the vote.

Ok so you could have just said "no" when I asked if Hats' n0 stuff affected your read. The fact that your reaction to being suspicious of him was to ask him if he's scum instead of casing him doesn't feel town at all to me but we can agree to disagree.

Instead, you got super defensive and tried to throw shade on me for the way I constructed the case (by combining quotes in single boxes, something I've been doing forever now). So for a third time I ask - when you posted the thing about "why'd you emptyquote my case?", what made you say that? How is how I cased you different from how I normally case people?

I am not trying to throw shade on you, I am continuing to point out that you are nitpicking and asking questions that don't jive with...anything that's important?

This feels logically flawed in a way I wouldn't expect from town peramene. If Mac is scum, then broadcasting that information didn't hurt anyone because it means that scum already had that information. The only way that broadcasting the information would be bad is if Mac were town, but then it doesn't make any sense to vote for him for it.

Thiiiiis doesn't feel like a logical leap for town. I read peramene's post and went "yeah that's a good point, keep info to the chest" not "well but if SCUM ALREADY KNEW THAT"

Also, we've had multiple scum factions in these games before, so he could still be clueing in a group that is not on HIS scumteam.

Scum almost always get the town win condition. Last time I played in a Pod game I was scum and got a full fake claim. The odds of scum not having known from the beginning town were "vengeance aligned" is pretty low and I think it's dumb to hold revealing that against Little Mac.

Also it makes no sense to think Little Mac is scummy for revealing something that scum didn't know about.

You took two quotes from separate parts of the discussion and slammed them together as if you were truncating a single post. When you present it like that, it does look weird, but it completely ignores the fact that both Hats and other people commented on my first statement & Hats actions before I made the second statement. Again, I already answered this question for you:

Quidthulhu posted:

Ehhh, I really dislike that MMT case on me because I think it's fairly lazy to put two completely separate posts together and present them as if they were on top of each other. I called out Hats, then he responded at which point I further said "Hmm, not sure I like how you are reacting to this, are you new scum?"

And as a result I got a lot of information about how I shouldn't be dismissing him as newbie scum. That makes his hemming and hawing look a lot worse to me.

So MMT, why did you present those as being basically the same post? It's not a very strong case if you remember that he, you know, said poo poo in between., ad it
Worse than MMT pushing that case is Hal "me tooing" it as if it is a good case. That looks REAL lazy.


Why are you harping on things that a. I've already answered and b. I can't see how they matter? Why is this important for me to restate, MMT?

I think your play is different this game because rather than thoughtfully going through people's post histories and building cases out of their words you're opportunistically jumping at poo poo as it happens and trying to poke holes in semantics. You're basically shooting at the ground a lot to make everyone dance uncomfortably. That's not very town, and it's not very YOU.
