She's talking negatively about someone's case with a light nod towards that player being scum without even voting the player.

It's exactly the light, no culpability thing you see from weaker scum.

Keane, LUTR is scum. I am putting my Merk stamp on this case. Go forward with your plan.

Also, it doesn't matter whether someone is "right" in making a case. It's all about intent behind content, not accuracy or agreeability. This is the most common SA Mafia town mistake.

LUTR made a forward positioning statement without an attempt to actually advance present discussion. Look at the intent, not whether you agree with what was said.

I'm guessing that at least one scum has a vote down on this LUTR train. My stake, as voted, is on JakeP.

It "didn't gain any traction?" There have been less than ten posts since that one.

I'm not backing down. I'm trying to figure out what you're doing. I re-assess my reads as the game goes. I would like more from you so I can try to do that.

What are you doing this game?

I have more posts that describe my LUTR vote than the one you say has little explanation. My point is that I don't think you really analyzed my vote on LUTR.

LUTR came back to admonish me for making a case without even coming anywhere near telling us who is scum and why. She used every 'weak scum' catchphrase I think exist in the 'weak scum player's guide' while doing it too:

Merk, you know better than to push this case.

Simple as that, and if I'd had more time, I would have said all that, but I didn't.

Your reaction is disproportionately aggressive.

Merk, what you are doing is not scum hunting.

Come on, folks.

I agree with this too now that I stepped back to think about it a bit. I still think LUTR is the better vote though.

It's almost like LUTR has two posts in this game where she lashes out at someone without CLEARLY calling that person is scum! THAT IS WHAT WEAK SCUM DO! THAT IS HOW A WEAK SCUM PLAYER PLAYS!

CapitalistPig posted:

Basically you are calling her out on what you say is a "scum move" as if its some sort of tell all scum move in the game when I've done similar things as town.

Im just saying its a null tell and I don't think she reacted that poorly to it.

It's day 1. It's an exceptional day 1 case. If this was lylo and I'm literally casing someone off of a single sentence in their first content-based post in the game, I'd be right there with you casting some shade (potentially).

Also, how does that not make sense? What part of the case doesn't make sense?

Stop making GBS threads on the LUTR lynch and advocate for GG if you think that is better. You're starting to be annoying.

It helps us out 0% to come in and just poo poo on stuff. Advocate for what you believe in. Convince others to vote with you. Create a case that people follow or, at least, generates discussion.

Moving votes off LUTR is a step towards moving them onto GG, who is a strong second. Moving a lunch off someone I think is town is pretty obviously beneficial.

Coming in and making GBS threads does not move votes off of LUTR. If you don't advocate for a better alternative, you don't influence anyone to do anything.
