Oh yeah that makes more sense, Amni's aggressiveness against AC is why I pushed amni at the time as well lol.

Why was Amni's aggressiveness towards AC scummy but mine was less scummy?

I had been playing Among Us with Apostate and was really digging them so I was annoyed at all the people that I received as being aggressive towards them

this is valid, not saying it isn't, but I do find it curious that you're making those judgments totally beyond any alignments

I kinda just ignored your posts at the time since I figured that little blowout between us colored my opinion too much, tbh.

Hi Sal welcome back. What do you think about the discussions from yesterday (irl)?

I think we would be wiser either A) lunching a lurker B) kicking up lurkers to vote before we choose a lunch

Yeah basically there IS a (maybe somewhat thin) case on chaoslord, in addition to him lurking, so I think it's a decent vote today.

I’m behind on real-life stuff and scrambling to get caught up by this evening so that I can do a more fuller reread, but likely won’t be in-thread for the next 6-8 hours. Apologies in advance.

I'd be down to launch a lurker (LAL) or gank a gimmick (GAG) today.

My top picks would be taste (literal zero content + lazy bandwagon vote on Rarity) or GG (9 total posts, very low content, posting elsewhere but not here).

Chaoslord is acceptable. He's not the worst from a low-content perspective, he's even made an actual effort post or two, but there are also legit points on him that aren't just about lurking. So I'm comfortable dropping my vote here.

Hmm! So I have a gut read on chaos being scum but I don't have anything to back this up, but this exchange feels alright? I think "I don't have anything to add" feels valid and that's the core of what chaos is saying here. Was there anything else or is this your best example?

Kinda wondering if this is a whacky vote to establish something, it feels like it's coming outta nowhere, and like, doesn't feel like scum trying to push a case, it feels more like an establishing vote, especially with this:

b-minus1 posted:

Ok so gumball isn’t gonna happen. I’ve nailed him as scum before. he lurked until he was called out,and suddenly became active when he was in danger of being lunched. Lets not get to that point

Shortly after.

This is interesting. I don't disagree with the sentiment but I am curious as to how you singled out clord.

I think there's someone else that was called out and has disappeared since who is lurking and their rationale was awful.

That's the main thing, yeah. I also didn't really like his exchange with AC earlier, but that's more of a gut feeling.

Ignoring the lurker stuff, I've grown more suspicious of Grandi since re-reading his case on AC and he's my top pick as it stands. But I also agree with Sandwolf that we should act on the lurker problem.
