Depending on your region of Texan BBQ, you may make a yep, yeehaw, hot drat, or grito call after sinking your teeth into a cut of smoked meat.

Then years later, on a hospital bed, hopefully surrounded by loved ones, the doctor's will say... "this was entirely preventable."

I think policy voting is bad in general but i feel people who sidle with it effortlessly or are suspiciously vehement in their opposition of a policy vote are most likely to be scum.

Hmm, true I suppose, but I think looking at how people are playing instead of personal rapport is a more productive way to look at the game.

I do recall you posting a mad men meme that got under my skin as you mention it. That was a while ago, it surprises me you'd use it to inform your read here.

This is good. Makes me wonder about the sincerity of merk's early read of somber. Strange reason to make an alignment call.

This seems to boil down to the policy call supporters/opposers grinding each other in. One or more parties in that mess are probably scum pushing for a townie to die, but there's still not much to separate them.

Also, probably gotta sleep, I bet I'll wake up to a barrage of posts. Time differences suck.

I agree with this.

##vote toalpaz

aside from the case itself feeling like a reach, the language toalpaz is using feels too self-assured for a d1 case. they've played with sandwolf in several games v. recently where he makes those kinds of posts as town so i wouldn't expect such a hard call on them being 'fake content' with that knowledge of sandwolf's 2021 Summer Meta in mind.

I don't like this vote so much, but only because it assumes toalpaz's player meta should influence his read of sandwolf which seems like a stretch of logic to me

Maerlyn posted:

This argument doesn't make sense. Scum would go along with a policy vote sure (avoid giving any actual opinions about scumminess, an easy vote) but you think being vehemently opposed is a scum tell too? The "I guess I'll vote that person but I don't like it" attitude leans town? Lol

This feels like a really weak " have your cake and eat it too" kind of argument.

The explanation is, scum know who isn't scum. Town does not. So if the split push results in the lunching of a player that is actually town, then the would be more likely to appear as town for consistently going against it. It's not always the case, but that's why I think the extremes of both ends are where you'll find scum.

Toalpaz posted:

ITS NOT THE SAME AS PLAYING



This is how certain I am about scum wolf. Town wolf does gently caress around but this is scumming around.

This post was gross though lol. Don't know if it's scumpaz gross, but definitely not the condemnation of sand it's supposed to be.

This is some incredible d1 content. (I'm speaking generally, not about the post I'm about to quote.)

It's fine B-, and alignment neutral. Don't you worry your little head about afk players. We still have 24 hours left in the day and lotus has been a topic of great discussion.

Shell, I just want to say I'm not angry or mad and I'm sorry I gave you that impression.

Meh. I think ixt is an awkward player, but there are far better candidates for d1.

I think somber sounds incredibly town to be honest. I like Merk this game, I like binus, I like Mae...

Gulags play is totally different then that scum game. Tbh I don't think gulag could be motivated enough to change their play as scums? But maybe gulag would cause this looks to be fun.

Gfg posts in a way that I think is kinda scummy every game and I detect no difference there.

I think we should execute IA or Sandy or lotus.

I'm just curious, do you think we should execute me because you failed to see what I was talking about on P Mom? The thing I had actually explained more than once.

I'd really like some clarification on why I'm the top of your list.

I think P Mom or Toal are the best votes today. The lack of real detractors on lotus makes me feel like they are more likely to be town in that case, not more likely to be scum. I'd probably vote toal over P Mom even.

Their play is more curious because they're around making comments, it's just the comments look off. Also I think they've got fake suspicion on me, or at least, I've yet to understand it in a way that is satisfactory.

You're acting pretty defensively for someone with 0 votes on them, making 7 posts explaining yourself isn't a good look imo.

Also they have been dealt a poo poo hand lately by getting killed early, I don't want to continue the streak.

p mom merk and toal are stronger scum reads for me. Merk over pmom for what they put down, but like I said, the immediate voting with merk on a bad policy vote is what seems scummier than the policy vote itself.

That whole debacle aside, merk's weird meta dismissal of somber also seemed strange.
