I will know for sure Steak is scum by the time he starts claiming and twirling his mustache around day 2 or 3.

In my first game ever with him he fakeclaimed gunsmith as vanilla town and rode it out for like four game days with fake results.

All this meta poo poo really has me riled - person acts scummy, person is likely to be scum, that's it. If a person is always acting scummy then they need to learn to play better, the town doesn't need to coddle them, because then they just get free reign all the time.

Yeah it becomes super obvious when he starts winking at the camera and taunting the scum team that he's lying about whatever he's claiming.

When he's telling the truth he gets out all the important info within 1-2 posts and then doesn't talk about it any more.

I’m here to win this game, not improve the overall mafia community to maybe net myself more wins later. I used to try that with people like Varinn and Dhaes. They won’t change. Play to the people in the room and find a way to win.

Case against Spoonsy is basically

Spoonsy posted:

I was dumb this morning about someone wondering about multiple scum groups (which I still think merits discussion) and a fake N0 cop? (Yes I know my bad)

Which isn't nothing I guess, but I don't see how it's scummy enough to be top votes right now.

Spoonsy took the obviously fake n0 cop claim at face value, used it to pursue a push on me, then tried to backpedal away from it while simultaneously claiming I'm still scum because I'm positive there's most likely two scum teams in a game with 26 people.

You're missing the point. I don't care about other games - how are we supposed to find scum if we can't vote for someone in this game for being scummy?

I really don't get it. There's so much "he acted like this in this game and he was scum" and "well he posted this in another game and he was town" - tabula rasa people, I've never seen this kind of meta stuff work and the last time I saw it was in the good place with scum doing a gentle day 1 bus on a scumbuddy which got roundly dunked on as it should.

I will never understand why people are so willing to give Steak a pass for saying and doing scummy things because he “posts ridiculously and scummy.”

Absolutely baffling, sometimes he posts ridiculously and scummy, sometimes he just posts ridiculously. He’s posting *a lot* here and it’s all stilted and awkward. He doesn’t sound chill as gently caress, he sounds like he’s trying to appear chill as gently caress while actually being nervous.

His response to Spoonsy:


Tell me that doesn’t feel artificial and performative

idk what to tell you, besides entirely uncomfortable facts about myself. such as: i'm just posting how i post. and i'm way way WAY more comfortable playing as scum than town. i know that's backwards, but i rolled scum so frequently in my first 25 or so games, and living significantly longer on average when i scum too, so it just feels a lot more natural.

but yeah, thats not an argument. just a reply i guess

I want to warn you fellers
And tell you one by one
What makes a gallows rope to swing
A woman and a gun

Some of my primary scumtells on Steak:

1) encouraging people to push other people more, without really weighing in on the case itself:

Mr. Steak posted:

dude, what are you even trying to get at here? you think andy is legit scum and so is pq...?

Mr. Steak posted:

what do you think about voodoofly?

2) response to Spoonsy:

Mr. Steak posted:

wait, is spoonsy actually taking cpig's cop claim seriously...?? lmfaooo

(then votes Spoonsy). Opportunistic, dismissive, tonally it implies scumminess without stating it. Subtle way of saying "this is so scummy I don't even need to explain why" to avoid actually explaining why using his trademark "lmfao"

3) zero content spam (not gonna quote all this it's everywhere)

4) re-purposing language to hide behind in order to start a wifom chain around the launch leader

Jose Valasquez posted:

This is it folks, this is the lazy scum "jump on the bandwagon" vote

##vote dmboogie

Mr. Steak posted:

this is it folks, the scumbro trying to stop the bandwagon from gaining momentum

5) taking absurd claim at face value

Mr. Steak posted:

thats a cool ability. i'll vote you for that ##vote squiggs

6) railroading by stating what a vote candidate would have to do to not look scummy, thus putting them in a lose-lose, if Spoonsy comes back and participates (which he would as town) it makes it look like it's in response to Steak's threat

Mr. Steak posted:

but yeah in serious talk, spoonsy you need to come back with some real good, like, genuine scumhunting soon or im basically gonna think you totally fumbled as scum and are too bashful to try recovering

7) massive tonal shift in content after being voted for, starting here.

Then a second massive tonal shift in content after momentum builds:

Sandwolf posted:

That’s a very persuasive case on Steak, I think

Mr. Steak posted:

it is???? lmao

8) Meta defenses - when I'm town I talk like this, but when I'm scum I walk like this!

Steak, despite tons of posting, has had extremely low content. He constantly injects dismissive exclamations into his posts, yet then 180s into seriously responding to people who talk about him, then performative "lmao" at people talking about him, then back to serious when it's about him. His "case" on Spoonsy is never made, merely "lmao"d as if it were a fact, then he further railroads Spoonsy by boxing him in with a "if you're town do this" when it is what any town WOULD do, putting Spoonsy in a no-win scenario. His reaction to Squigg's claim was too immediate and too trusting, and felt like scum looking to get in early on what they would assume was a pro-town roleclaim support. His early-game drivebys of "what do you think about X?" and effective "tell me mores" on other cases pushes them without him actually going on the record with anything.

It's a long and dreary list of scum tells wrapped in a performative air of cavalier confidence and dismissiveness with hard detours into serious conversation whenever people point out how scummy he is.

Vote for Steak.
