Real talk: This line of inquiry does nothing but seek to divide the nations and sew malcontent/distrust. This is a game based heavily on teamwork much more than standard mafia and it only benefits scum to be working towards that break down in teamwork as you are attempting here.

Wait, what? Encouraging active scumhunting regardless of team doesn't benefit scum at all, are you crazy?

No it wasn't, but capps was encouraging it, seriously, I can't tell if you're scum here, but you taking peoples' words and making them say something they aren't is really scummy and one of the reasons you were such an easy lynch the last game we played together and you really should stop doing it.

That's an interesting interpretation. Tell me exactly how you would answer both versions of that question.

I'm curious.

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.

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.

##vote: Ixt

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? I explained that difference in my post. At least I was right about your motivation for asking the question, because holy poo poo it was obvious.

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.

Pander posted:

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.

Meinberg posted:

Generally speaking, I find that the "too scummy to be scum" argument is typically fallacious. In addition, I have no idea who Amnistar is or how he plays. In the absence of a meta to support an alternative interpretation, the scum slip argument, mostly in regard to thinking predicated on a presumed knowledge of the number of scum in the game, is the most valid one to my own perspective.

While I will acknowledge that it is possible that he was working from an assumption that he had come to believe was verified, his statements to this effect felt very forced to me, and made my gut be all like, "nuh uh, this guy ain't telling the truth." My gut is not quite as eloquent as the rest of me.


Preview Edit:


Just come in and talk to yourself. It's a cool thing to do.

No it's not Meinberg, when people do things that they know will attract negative attention to themselves it's a valid argument. Look at Virigoth's justification for lynching Magnus vs. the scum's justifications in merk's game, Virigoth gives the real answer that Mags got lynched for being a fuckhead, the scum gave the answer they thought he was scum. Virigoth got NK'd by the SK because of people like you who don't understand these things. And guessing the number of scum players in a post like that is so far from a scum slip even if it's right it's not even funny, you guys aren't this bad.

And for Pander, OOC vs. in your empire aside, how is capps asking for us to look at our empire for the scummiest person scummy at all? Seriously, answer me that. It's to the benefit of his empire to the detriment of scum, it's the least scummy thing you could be doing.

In context, and with it being yuming we're talking about it was a pretty clear "hey, gently caress you, I play this game for fun, at least read my posts if you're going to be an rear end in a top hat", I don't think I've ever seen yuming snap at someone like that as scum. And then multiple people jumped on her second comment in scummy ways, and all the people voting on her looked scummy doing so, so yeah, I don't think she's scum.
