I have no idea what any of that means. It doesn't make any sense. Is my content scummy? If so, which parts? Do you disagree with what I've said on Meen? Do you disagree with my line of questioning on Humalong? What, in particular, is scummy?

The only thing that makes any sense is the mason argument which you tossed in as an add on at the end.

You think it's odd for me to lean into one big thing per day to focus on though? Are you getting that convenient short term memory loss again?

Well no, it just reminds me of my own scum play from bezzelbee where I pick a case that looked alright and "tunnel" on it to avoid commenting on other stuff.

But like, I don't think it's anywhere enough to vote, just a weak gut read thing.

So we've established you did read the day and did see it ended early, thanks to Beet. I think you rolling in all DOES NOT COMPUTE over why I would throw a vote at Beet to start the day is total bullshit.

When a human being suspects someone else of posting total bullshit, such as, a reaction that can't likely be real, they tend to see this as what we call "scummy", because scum need to find or invent reasons to voice suspicions towards people they know are not on their team.

I think this is the best thought on the RF run up yesterday that I have seen so far.

##vote meen

This is the FIRST vote. Day 1 was basically zero content and then Merk's first vote is basically a follow up with no independent thoughts visible. Rest is white noise. Hell, the explanation for the vote only comes later and really just seems justified afterwards instead of beforehand.

merk posted:

I guess I don't really agree with what b- says now that I read it. I do agree that Meen's post is scummy. Meen is spending way too many words to join a bandwagon with random thoughts thrown in around a vote that, to me - based on the way the post is constructed - reads like he doesn't really believe in it.

merk posted:

EXPLAINED BETTER: Newbie scum joining a turbo looks like what Meen would post. You can't just nakedly throw a vote out without anything, so you trump up the vote with surface analysis and other thoughts to make it sound better.

Like, look at this trio of posts lol. "I agree with this reasoning to vote for meen, and then I actually read the post and don't agree with it but will vote Meen for another reason".

Like uh, what. The only one they seem to seriously go after is Bif who was drawing attention to them.

For context, I read Meen's post as quoted by b- and thought it was scummy and inadvertently kind of glossed over what b- said about it. When I actually thought about what b- was saying, I think there is more there as I explain in my next post. My thought process isn't really perfect, but it's all there.

I've been getting votes in games lately for loosely explaining reads and coming back quickly when it's clearer in my head. I'm not sure why this is some scum tell people latch onto.

I'm voting you for a lack of original reads, not for loosely explaining your reads.

Who's scum other than meen and bif? Neither of those truly came from independent scumhunting. At least thats how it seems like to me. This is just more noise.

##vote hambeet

RF looked plenty scummy and with things going along that fast, there must have been a good number of enthusiastic townies genuinely piling on and not just scum pushing the momentum. But actually sealing the deal that early would be difficult. Beet's spammy white noise tone in the early game had already been pinging me, and that reaction hammer right after RF sounded like he was daring people seems like a great chance for Beet to brush it all off as just being cheeky.

If you disagree with the vote sure, go nuts, but what the hell is hard to understand

I'm really thinking a Merk/hambeet/deadmeat scum team right now.

Merk's doing an Anidav impression,

hambeet is pretty much content lurking other than aggressive self defense,

and deadmeat is *far* more bold than he was in bezzelbee imo. It really sticks out to me, to be honest. I wasn't lying when I said deadmeat felt like a directionless newbie in that game and they're just not in this game. They're actively going on the offensive here. It's much more reminiscent of their Arknights scum game.

Content lurking and then aggressive defense?

Is this a day 1 white noise thing again?

Today I’ve been making my case on Bif when I saw how bad of a case she threw together. If it wasn’t directed at me I’d still be on her about it. That is not content lurking nor is it an aggressive defense. It’s a terrible case that I’ve called out as not town behaviour aka scum hunting.

You have literally made this ‘content lurking’ thing up and I’d like to know why? Do you think bifs case on me for white noise and hammer is legitimate and town mind? Can you please put down some expressive thoughts about it?

Thank you.

Bif has shown more town mind than you, yes. For example they were actually able to provide reasoning pretty much immediately, where as you're just going "case bad" which is a scum thing to do.

Tell me who scum then (other than bif). Like, you know, I asked before. Stop trying to counter-attack people pushing you and provide reads.

how did you switch your mind here? show reasoning straight away? i don't see how i haven't? she's only provided one scum case and reluctantly switched to merk when you prodded her. you seem to be giving her a lot more leeway than you'd be willing to give me.

why is that yami? why are two of your scum reads the two people bif is pushing on now?

SA being hungup on omgus like it's a a golden rule has been proven false many, many times.
