I don't see where the confusion is. My entire initial case is that the post about steak and gamer both have just enough of a joke vibe to them that they can be excused and discarded or referenced as an actual case.

... But ypm didn't pretend his joke vote on steak was real; he threw down a joke vote and then explicitly changed it into a real one later, after steak did something he saw as scummy.

I don't think that I believe that you think is, as opposed to trying to find something that sounds logical.

Can you tell me why?

It's the way that they just poked and poked until the felt they could justify a vote, but when another person also expressed an opinion of them as scum, they shrug it off and say "Yea sure".

It's a weak D1 case, that they've just poked at until it beacame "a thing"

Couldn’t this be explained by your argument about what constitutes pressure though? Like just digging in and arguing your brains out and then when the dust settles you’ve been arguing about the connotative definition of a word

Disagree there. When I read that post, there was no "This is a real vote" post and I could not tell if it was a real swap to a serious vote or more joking around. The fact that right as I was posting my case YPM made the post about it being a serious vote does not invalidate my point.

If his meta is to replace out as scum, does he lurk until he can do so?

I wish we could free dunk multiple lurkers but realistically that would probably end up being anti town

I'm not sure where the narrative that we were arguing about pressure comes from. I made, I think, 2 posts, about it? One to say that votes aren't needed for pressure and another to say people started talking about it.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.

Dragonatrix posted:

Sure; there's only two real cases so far so that's not a problem in the slightest. Yours on Hum and YPM's on Steak.

Your case on Hum is based on him not using his action at all and then using it on you when called out about it. His reasoning of "what if it's a wasted dayvig" is silly, but silly is not scummy. That he used it in the same post as he floated that weird hypothetical is more defensive there, which you did eventually mention calling it an OMGUS. And to that end, as often as it gets bandied about, I'm not sure I've ever seen an actual, genuine OMGUS.

YPM's case on Steak that he reacted badly to being voted for makes less sense to me, though. Like, yeah, Steak reacted weirdly to that but I think I'd be more suspicious if he didn't. It's suspicious that he said "a bunch" because it's an exaggeration, but if he said "two" it'd still be suspicious because he posted at all? I'm just really not seeing it. That it also became an actual slapfight for a bit is probably not helping, admittedly.

wait hold up

stop a sec, genuinely help me out here gang

we're piling on lurker dragon because they made went what amounts to "idk that feels town to me" with some back and forth after bif needled them on it?

i dunno about this one chief. once again I don't think scumchat would go "let's all start a d1 train on this lurker who said something just weird enough!!" because that seems stupid/suicidal af but still

why? this seems particularly weird from bif who's engaging with people in the thread in general and she comes back to this? have I missed key details of this case

KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
During my catch up, the thing that stood out most to be is how everyone is now just kinda overlooking ETR. His posts throughout the entire day have been white noise and multiple responses at different points to say why he's not been posting and explaining why he didn't vote for... merk. Strikes me as odd that aside from getting needled when he first posted explicitly to get to 10 posts to avoid being lurker killed, no one's mentioned it all even though Binus' post was less bad (since he did manage some actual posts beforehand) and that's been brought up a couple times since.

Anyway, I'll try be around until deadline now, but it's at roughly 3am so I can't promise that.

Oh wait I just looked back at Toal's post and it was to pick on me and Dragon being scumbuds rather than me and Hum, so ok guess that makes sense to vote there but I'd expect at least a moment of pause and reflection y'know?
