FT the thing about you this game is that you are unrelentingly self-conscious to the point where you sound very nervous, thus scummy.

If Kleedrac ain't come back I would vote him. I don't see the Ernie case, Ernie makes weird posts sometimes. I like the case even less with Big Nothing sidling up next to it.

hal is longposting out of a need for survival not because he has anything of value to say

for a better case consider what hal says about fat turkey: it's entirely an alignment null-tell for him but he's using it to determine opop's alignment regardless

okay, so the argument being that Hal is inconsistent and faking opinions? i like the content of your casing but your presentation seems like you're trying to undercut your own momentum, what is up with that?

Hal Incandenza posted:

But I wasn't actually really commenting on Fat Turkey other than to say people were having a bad reaction to him because his posting was pretty defensive sounding and kind of unfocused and therefore there was no reason for Opop to come in and say "whoa look at these bad people picking on Turkey" and then peace out. Opop doesn't provide reasoning for either why he thinks people are wrong about FT or why any particular push on FT is scum motivated. I feel like you are just randomly taking words and trying to spin cases out of them.

Regardless, even if i HAD been talking more directly about FT, I completely disagree that you can't say (especially early in the game when there isn't much content) that hey these early posts were bad but then this guy seemed better.

No I get what he's saying, all your posts seem to be oriented around perception, which is not a natural town sentiment. It's much more understandable for scum to be thinking about how actions are perceived rather than the original intent.

Hal Incandenza posted:

Because if Opop is scum he knows FT's alignment, and therefore has a reason to wave away criticism of FT regardless of FT's alignment (either to take heat off a scumbro or to look better after a FT townflip).

If I have a null-tell on FT then I would never say "I don't like this push on FT" unless I had a specific person/case(s) that I felt were fake.

Opop did not (and I think still hasn't) even made clear if he doesn't like the cases because they are bad, or doesn't like the cases because he has a town read on Turkey.

My point was whichever way he meant it, it looks scummy to have done it.

Well okay, let's agree that defending another player is a pro-scum move regardless of context. Just because something is a pro-scum move doesn't mean it indicates anything about alignment. For example, lurking always hurts town, but lurking isn't indicative of any alignment.

I dunno, it's seem pretty clear? You're indicating that Opop's post was innocuous because it's using language and a thought process very familiar to our community, in response to Asiina suggesting that Opop's vagueness was scummy. Was that close?
