Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

That's bullshit. The implication was pretty clear. See below.

There is no reason for a joke phase to exist in this game, we all have docs were we should be getting good reads on people because in those docs people are actively working together.

I'm getting weird ~~vibes~~ from the Crazyeyes and 50 Pounds of Bread side of this argument. Although I agree that capps is asking for reads too early, his request is minor and does not necessitate their overly defensive response. This fact is especially evident given that capps was sated by a non-answer like:

Ernie is the most scummy because all he has done is pop in, say hi, and then left. This will change when he returns to the doc later.
tells me that the back and forth was unncessary.

Our team thread has had very little activity but if forced to make a call, I would say Juanito is the scummiest player.

We have 25 players divided into 5 subgroups. That is a lot of players, so why not have the groups look at themselves, since you know they are in a group doing stuff together, just to give us a bit focus.

This does not mean there are not other ways to contribute or you can't look for scum outside your own group.

The back and forth was entirely necessary because it not only forced Capps to explain why he thought it was a good idea, but also revealed that his reasoning was lovely and 100% meant to look like he was doing something when it was, and remains to be, a completely pointless exercise. I therefore think he is scummy for it.

The last game I played with Capps he was being a horse, and other than that I don't really know him, so you can ease up on the meta defense of your boo. I saw a pretty scummy exchange go down and I went looking to figure out what the hell he was going on about.

I think though that based on your posts and the posts from the rest of your group, you guys may be a lot more active than others. Two of ours haven't even opened the doc as far as I can tell.

This seems like a question set up to call me scum no matter how I answer, but whatever. I told him literally what capps said, they are different things because Pander was implying you capps had said only doc stuff was usable when he didn't. Also, on my team I have 3 people who haven't posted in the thread and one who hasn't posted in the doc unless I'm forgetting someone, so probably one of the guys who's posted in there but not here for the total one and the guy who hasn't posted for the just doc one.

I don't understand what you are saying here. Could you please try to be clearer?


My grievance with your earlier post is that it is that I don't know what you could think capps is referring to unless you are part of some other team. Nothing about your response makes sense unless it is a scum slip.

What the gently caress? How? Capps literally said something that was different from what Pander said he said and we literally have a doc for our empires and how does that make me part of some other team?

Meh. I'm loving thrilled with my team right now because we're all people that will play the part of this game that isn't mafia super seriously. And everyone who has posted in our chat is doing just that.

I'm leaving my vote for capps for two reasons.

1.) Pretty much everything that has been said in the thread so far. I think the idea of having to pick a member of our team that is 'scummiest' without trying to find scum is a stupid plan. If capps wanted to find scum, sure, but he even straight up says that he's not looking for scum, just scummy play.
2.) I seriously want to find out if busb put in conditionals for aragon falling with castille still alive. I wouldn't put it past him.

Calm down. People are voting you because you are being really overly defensive. The only reason I'm not voting you is because you did the same exact thing as town one game when I was putting a little bit of pressure on you.

Your point is really dumb and is basically semantics.

"Team" you meant all of the players in the game. I was confused because I had never seen the playerbase referred to in such a way and had no idea what you were referring to, except some other faction that you were a part of.

I'm satisfied for the time being with your response now that I understand what you intended to say.

Yeah, some people were trying to use a crowbar to get some space between the terms because otherwise they'd be forced to agree that Capps was being scummy or something. Use of semantics to avoid making a read on someone.

I still like the meta defense of "Capps being capps!"
