Kashuno posted:Yes, you actually are. I’m not going to type up an essay of my experience with soldiers games but trust me on this: using row selection as a credential in any way to gauge towniness, especially this early on is wrong I'm pretty sure that I'm correct but I'll bow to your experience claim and concede the point, maybe practice plays out different than theory if someone else has played these games and disagrees with kashuno, please speak up

Max Peck posted:We haven't had a battle yet, so this is pretty much a normal day 1. Please feel free to join in! Here's what Max Peck said. Your Personal Muse posted:There’s a lot of words in this thread. Of those, I didn’t like Max’s for insinuating I wasn’t going to try to fight or play for whatever weird reason. This is what stands out to you as the scummiest? Unless you read it with a lot of insinuated spite, it looks friendly.

And not to beat a dead horse, but if you skimmed the thread and read KB's post, or any of the replies to it, you might have been inclined to reply. Why gripe about an innocuous statement and ignore probably the most important thing any town player should be doing?

Tobbs Gnawed posted:Here's what Max Peck said. It insinuates I’m trying to duck playing the game. Scum throw out limp wristed shade all the time. If it sticks, they can make a big deal out of it. If it doesn’t stick, they can pretend it never happened and go on about their day. It reads like he’s setting me up for a future case. If I rise to the occasion and play, it’s no skin off his back. If I lurk, he can say “Look at this man! He’s acting confused!” And build a case on me. And the more simple answer is that it’s white noise. I’m not a newbie. I don’t need encouragement. It’s just Max coming in and acting like he’s helping the town without really helping it. It’s what we in the business call ~~~~manufacturing content~~~~. Scum don’t have to be spiteful. They can be friendly. But you knew all this. You don’t believe in this case.

None of this is especially positive, and some of it is actively negative. Quids vote was absolutely terrible, are you kidding me with this?

Tobbs throwing a lot of hard opinions out really early, I feel like he might be trying too hard to look townie. I agree with Kashuno's analysis of combat preferences this early. Still trying to decide how I feel about GeneX and his essays of setup spec and how it pertains to his alignment.

GeneX posted:no, a d1 vote on a guy who decided to drop answers and cover for not doing anything else is fine Let me quote the vote Quidthulhu posted:You read enough to see that KB asked game related info and deigned to respond to it but not enough that you felt you needed to comment on your absence? Why in the world would anyone need to “comment on [their] absence” in a game that is four hours old? It’s a Friday night on a holiday weekend and someone made one post that answers the confirmed town questions and Quid drops that vote. Meanwhile, Keane didn’t post for an additional 24 hours, did not explain his even further absence, and only answered KBs questions and that’s it. It was an astoundingly bad vote and I have no idea how anyone can go “hm yes I think criticizing someone for making a single post on a Friday night is a good vote”

I could be reading Quid wrong, given that "not enough that you felt you needed to comment on your absence?" is a nonsense phrase, but what I think he meant was "you read enough to know to answer KB's questions, and are excusing yourself for doing nothing else" which is scummy because it's a bit overly paranoid for D1 town that said I would like Quid to explain in his own words

# ? Dec 31, 2017 06:39 |

The game was 4 hours old at that point? That is dumb of me. But then also way dumb of AA to feel the pressure to come in and go "don't worry I'll read this later." Like, why? Hurm.

I have a feeling with the deadline not being til the 2nd, there’s probably a lot of folks sincerely putting off paying serious attention until after new years’ which, sincere though they may be, would make great cover for lurking scum

GeneX posted:Mafia Edit: Quidthulhu posted:I am real certain Kashuno is town, though, that angry analysis infodump is towny af Your Personal Muse posted:Theres a lot of words in this thread. Of those, I didnt like Maxs for insinuating I wasnt going to try to fight or play for whatever weird reason. Tobbs Gnawed posted:Is your only opinion aimed at...a mod? Anyway, to address this whole thing without quoting half a page: yes, I am annoyed when people seem to be preemptively excusing a lack of content. (I'm equally annoyed by people who aren't bothering to excuse a lack of content, by the way, but that's a long list still.) Just answering KB's survey doesn't give us much to discuss, because the point of the survey is intentionally not revealing too much information. We had 4 pages of posts to go through at the time, surely you had something to comment on? A joke to respond to? Anything? Kashuno posted:Admittedly it was a weird early callout

Max Peck posted:I think you've missed the section in the rules with the header "== THE SCUM =="? That's what Tobbs is seeing when he says it's in the rules. This one? "Each thread has a SCUM faction allied with the TOWN in the opposite thread. These players have abilities that follow the same rules as above, but with some slight differences: - Scum MELEE abilities may ONLY be used on THEIR OWN rank. - Scum RANGED abilities may ONLY be used on the rank DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM. NOTE: Scum's battle abilities are a degree more powerful than town's. A Leader putting scum in battle is almost certainly going to have more casualties as a result." Oh. I guess scum can't shoot backwards after all. On further thought I also seem to have forgotten that ranged abilities can use the same stats as melee abilities, and so scum with ranged powers in the front row are unlikely to be as crippled as my conception of them as pure archers would imply (as they probably also have melee powers), so I guess it all cancels out and returns to the same "nuh uh" "yes huh" "nuh uh and also I have experience" "oh ok" thing

Speculation over scum abilities is worse than useless right now and I think we should all agree that scum can do very bad things and call it at that. Kash's response to the spec. Is good. Gene's posts aren't inherently scummy but good googly moogly stop throwing words out on a topic scum know way more about and can easy misdirect town on. YPM's post on Tobbs is good. I'm inclined to agree.

Peck, I thoroughly responded to Tobbs. Trying to frame me as avoiding the thread is disingenuous. I’m not participating in the battle speculation. It’s not because I’m afraid of doing so or I don’t think it’s important. I really just don’t understand it very well and it’s not my forte. Seriously, do you think my content has been lacking so far? It’s the holiday weekend at the very start of the game. What’s your angle?
