Scum participate in joke phase, and the way they do it is USUALLY scummy. I didn't like the way Lumpen was doing it!

This doesn't make any sense to me. It looks like one of those things people say to look like a fact when it's not actually a fact. Quid, can you give some example ideas of scummy jokephase posting?

Stand down, men! It's only smooching!

I mean, it all depends on individual intent, so no, I can't give you specific examples without interviewing people and asking them their intent?

I BELIEVE that when it comes to joke phase town members go "this will be funny"

Whereas scum go "this will be funny, AND ALSO."

So like people might drop a joke vote keeping in the back of their mind to return to it later, or someone might make a shady "case" that's kinda jokey but, again, come back and be like "These was a serious case now that this has played out."

It just rubs me the wrong way when people are like "CLEARLY this is joke phase why are you even taking this seriously." Scum know what they're doing during joke phase, come on now. Everything scum do is calculated, why would joke phase be any different.

This isn't really a line of discussion worth having, I don't think, because I can't prove it beyond ~My philosophy~ and we've had this discussion to death, but whatever, talk about it if you want.

There's a distinction between, as you said, blasting out "THANK GOD IM VANILLA TOWN" versus casually sliding "as a town man i" into a post - that's the point I'm trying to make.

Fair enough. It's the first case on D1 so it's not like I'm 100% confident you're scum, it's more that I found that case to be the most suspicious one in these extremely early stages of this game. Which, humorously enough, is the reason I'm not saying "BK is definitely scum and I implore everyone to read him over and tell me otherwise".

Because I'm trying to break the meta that I have to post post post all the time. It gets tiring. I generally like posting, but sometimes I just want to read along and make some comments and reads without getting called scum because I'm not at the top of the post count.

And frankly, I didn't feel like engaging the heavy posters during the early jokephase because I didn't find it particularly funny.

Dead town on D1 isn't a bad thing at all, dead town in GENERAL isn't a bad thing at all. In fact someone had a mafia theory a while ago that said it was actually WORSE for town to nail scum on D1 than it was to get a miscuddle to get info from.

But again, mafia theory, been discussed to death, let's hunt scum. We are all ~different~

Quidnose may be onto something. My posts were not very subtle about how decisive the articulation concerned. Maybe Quidnose inherently questions whether incisive queries can really anchor Scumhunting when sincerity is called into question. We can all understand that, I know I've been there. On the other hand, Asiina does look more intensly unseemly when you take into account what Ninth said about that.

Khris Kruel tends to have all the answers and the best breadcrumbs, while also answering Rarity soundly in the way nobody expected.

Podima, can you look into all this and share your analysis? The tendency to cut through jokephase when cuts both ways.

Let's not overlook who's really posting Scummy here, and that's Murmurtwin. Especially the last several posts as well as earlier ones. BottleKnight, do you see what I'm seeing there and what post especially sums it up when you really think about it?

I don't know if you have considered the likelihood that gaining votes with suspicions adverse relates to between the other thing you're doing. What I'm noticing when you post is that making sense also connotes being onto something. But who knows if that being the case would flip just what is expected. AnonNarc has experienced this many times from a meta perspective.

Calling me out earlier for exaclty the same thing is bound to come back and remind me again later. But at the same time, not voting on it noticed an awkward vibe from you, going back to hedge on that tunnelvision.

My case on Murmurtwin works the same way, as BottleKnight pointed out.

TMM's posting is not intended to constitute an appearance of Scumhunting, but something deeper going on. Khris Kruel knows it, even Asiina obviously suspects it. So why no votes yet? There's a feeling like awkward posting when overemotional but not contributing that still drives content, but that's more than I can decide at this point. TNL said as much when he posted on the other page.

This is the fakest of the fake. There is NO WAY you think I am scum, your posting doesn't even include a case on me. The only thing I can see is that you're saying I'm tunnelvisioned whilst not voting for you, which makes no sense; I am voting for you. You reading the thread, Lumpen?

Your thunderdomes have been great in the past, used when you are CERTAIN you have caught scum to the point that you are willing to demand the game vote along your self-created schism. This is too early. There is no case to back it up. This is you playing that YOU ARE LUMPEN with no substance and no reason to do so.

And it's fake! My vote stands!

All I'm saying is don't you find it all a little strange when Scumhunting and suddenly people just say they don't even look back and read all the posts before just disappearing for hours, only to then say the opposite? That's far from what I or anyone would consider to be just what you would expect when Scumhunting. Right?

Quidnose isn't even trying to hide it when in fact there is no doubt that on the last page they all were saying the same thing. I believed it at first but then more people chimed in, even Rarity. What I was initially claiming about Asiina's posts, Quidnose jumped right in and started flipping out, but not in the least bit like defending a Scumbuddy but instead as to the effect of knowing what effect posting just like that would have, even right after Khris Kruel said that.

All the while Jimson is lurking but nobody said a word about a newbie shield but then coming in here and spouting off about TMM. Look at the softclaims we have so far. If Murmurtwin is pretending not to be seeing it, who else isn't reacting? Just look who gets nightkilled and then look back at the posting. In light of the flip.


TMMadman posted:

Clearly. You were the one who, in previous posts, just came right out of the gate with what you said and that should be noted. It isn't an alignment call but everyone can understand just what I mean when just a few posts ago you were saying something completely different.

I want Asiina and Podima to weigh in here because the two of them have really got me thinking. I will come back to that in my next post, but for now I want them to report back with what they learned since then.
