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.

That's not what was happening, you were twisting his words in an extremely hyperbolic way, and there is a difference.

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

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



I wasn't twisting his words you nincompoop. He asked people to list scummy people in their empire. ANYONE could do that if you rely on in thread. It pretty clearly is "give us all the dope intel that we can't otherwise get", or he might as well just be saying "everyone list someone scummy in the thread". If he didn't care about OOT stuff, then it's pretty lovely of him to be too lazy to point out scummy stuff other people are doing in the thread himself. OOT stuff is the only reason to specify that people call other people in their empire scummy.

Also, "extremely hyperbolic"? Irony.

I was assuming he was trying to get us to overcome the natural tendency to overlook those we have a common cause with for the first day and then get stuck in a rut of not taking a closer look at them, not the OOT stuff. I mean, he got into that later, which I missed at the time and when you pointed out I conceded he mentioned it, but that wasn't the intention I got out of his thing.

I don't know about you, but my win condition will be easier to achieve if more of my team is alive than not. Since at minimum there is one scum that is not on my team, I'm gonna focus my efforts outside the team, pending something occuring which will focus my efforts inwards.

Pretty pictures in small frames
It turns out that the Mediterranean empire is basically a sitcom.
  • Meinberg is the bumbling dad who gets mad easily.
  • Capps is the hip in-your-face rascal teen. He owns a skateboard.
  • Rarity is the long-suffering older sister who rolls her eyes a lot.
  • I'm the harrowed mom trying to keep everyone happy and stable and failing.
  • DGK2000 is the angry neighbor complaining about the kids today and who always ends up caught in the action.

Besides the fact that you shouldn't know how many scum there are, there is a 2 day world peace mechanic built in.

"World Peace: If all members of the scumteam are killed off, the game enters a state of World Peace. Once World Peace is achieved, the game will end after 2 further full turn cycles"

I made the post before I saw your response, but your comments do not address why you thought their were 5 scum players in a satisfactory way.

Your other information about the win condition seems to contradict the basic rules of the game. It's anti-town.
