Seriously, rolleyes is a scum move all the time. Sarcastic dismissal of a case out of hand is a thing that scum do. I mean, look at Opop.

100% of the time you've made this argument in a game with me, you've been scum.

Yeah that's a big part of the thing, if Opop hadn't been such a dick about the way he responded to me I wouldn't be pushing him so hard but it was basically "look at this chump who can't see humor" and anything else was flat out dismissed instead of answered or responded to.

making meta-arguments that look reasonable but actually aren't, like "rolleyes and tildes are scummy," is a great way to look like you're engaging and throw suspicion on someone while keeping your hands clean.

Meta's fun if you're seeing people make the same kinds of posts throughout a bunch of games but a solid argument about being dismissive is not scummy on its own

I'm also ready to unvote ernie since he's too funny but drat, I don't want to unvote and be a non-voting pacifist.

So what changed between this contentless vote and your last post from earlier today where you loosely defend me?

Well, you were more of an obstinate bunghole. I dashed that post out before I went back to work. Assuming I'm not dunked I can justify it more later.

It's me making fun of Somber over like, the second game we played. Somber likes to make very clear judgements on me and lately they've been wrong as heck. He says it's his gut, but I'm trying to encourage him to do better.

I get that everyone wipes everyone else's rear end in your country, but if I don't slave for a meager wage an Ayn Randroid is going to capital-murder me and my family in my sleep, then harvest my organs. Please be more considerate of your morally-impoverished southern neighbors.

Look Under The Rock sounds kind of dumb, but so do you. In fact, it's amusing that you claim I'm not justifying anything, but your case on LUTR is "gut ping". LUTR may have not really "gotten" you but I don't think that's as inherently scummy as you think.

Rolleyes and the tilde principal are both dumb, it's essentially taking something that is scummy in some context and making it a lovely policy rule. Actually the thing about not voting is that too.

EP's use of Rolleyes wasn't good, but it's important to actually read the context of it.

I hate this post so much that I'm thinking about switching my vote, it reeks of "hey I'm picking up votes let's try to flip things back to Opop" but it's backfiring. It's not out of line to ask you to justify a vote and your response is a serious overreaction.

No, but it feels like you're being very purposefully overbearing and painting her as a bad/difficult player, then trying to roll it in a bit to potentially gain favor.

she is a difficult player and i'm not the only one who thinks it

i think i held my tongue pretty well, too, considering she purposefully docked a few of my lines of logic to shoe-horn her points in

but unlike opop, i don't think that that's indicative of her being scum, just her being convinced of her own case

Weird because that's exactly what you were doing with my posts. If you want to point out any logic I docked then be my guest, I'll respond.

That first line there, I dunno who else you're talking to about me because the only games we've played together are still ongoing. But it does feel like you wrote that bit to make me feel self conscious about my playstyle, which is a pretty poo poo move. "Difficult" is such an easy word to defend as a meta crit. What behavior would you prefer from me?

Blah, getting the grumbles over both these candidates now.

Opop I think not claiming here is pretty risky and not a pro-town move maybe. I mean if you're a power role that sucks, but it would also suck if you were a power role and got lunched.
