I'm talking about air tight reasoning, not air tight cases.

Opop seeing merk doing something in the past and then not doing it now isn't enough. Did merk ALWAYS do it? Did he ever do it as scum? Is there maybe the fact merk might have taken a break from playing mafia that might have changed his playstyle?

Opop trying to make that point is lazy and relying onan old merketa - that wasn't even true - of him being some sort or robot mafia player. Fisk goin g with it is equally lazy but a little bit worse.

Also this is a dumber point, but I always forget about discord until someone makes me use it for a game. The fact that merk is suddenly using it again pinged me

It could be role related or he could just legitimately want to join the main discord, so it wasn't enough for me to vote earlier, but coupled with this it is

I can't remember a single game where I took a joke comment like that as a scum tell, let alone doing it time and time again.

THAT SAID, if you're just trying to kickstart the game, it's not a bad early d1 prod.

It's unrelated to the game. I left the general mafia discord after getting overmad at Fisk's game two games ago.

This is odd. How are you sure it's not true of my meta? I can't recall doing it (it seems more like a Lumpen thing to do). However, calling it 'lazy' sI think is a stretch. You aren't thinking about the intent behind what Opo is doing and taking into context that we are so early in d1.

Moreover, I'm not even sure whether you're calling Opo or Fisk scum here. You're just kind of half lashing out at them while defending me without actually telling me what you think about alignment.

I can see your reasoning on Amobea - because you are very articulate - but I do not find it compelling.

I think Merk took an internet statement and made a fairly accurate read of it. I think people who say I am scum claiming are using bad reasoning, and I think people voting Merk for not voting on a 'scum claim' are also using bad reasoning to come to that conclusion. Maybe fisk is the worst for just commenting 'I buy that', but I think that GK also read that very unfavourably and seems unconcerned with actually finding scum and more concerned with finding out who's lunch today.

*reads George Kansas’ posts*

What are talking about? He’s barely posted anything at all. I have no idea how you can extrapolate “finding out who’s lunch today” from a vote that was a hmmm followed by voting for you in what was, it appeared to me, a jokephase vote, considering it came directly after your own vote, which was also a joke.

You are failing to read the implications. When I'm saying lazy, I'm saying he isn't trying to find scum and juat took an easy position to look like he had an opinion / is scumhunting. Saying Fisk is worse, is saying he was scummier.

How is not your meta? You aren't that good. Some sort of mafia messiah. People like to pretend you are, and either hide behind an authority they give you, or point to something that doesn't fit an idea of you being perfect and claim it is a scum tell.
Bringing up needinbg discord is a other tongue in cheek means of going hey merk is scum because he needs to chat oot, and it's really an underhanded way of pointing out suspicion. So that guy that did that after opop is suss too. Opop is as well, i misread him bringing it up at first.

Also i have to phonepost despute being laid up at home because the internet is out. So I'm not going to fix my typoes and I'm not going to post long rambles like this all the time either.
