Now why don't you actually do so instead of nitpicking?

Are you referring to Forumite's boldness at bringing back a potentially attention grabbing issue?



yeah - why would he bring it up with me again? It just goes to highlight the whole thing. What do you think?

I'm not nitpicking. I honestly think you're not making any sense. You don't want to get your scumread lynched, but instead want to talk about Forumite, and you try to discredit me for standing up to you about it.


About Forumite: I really don't have much to add. He's said some dumb things and been stupidly wishy-washy, but I have a hard time believing scum would be so openly bad this early on day1. Not that its impossible, but I've never seen a scum be so transparent this early.

And you dismissed it, but basically admitting that he was going to be sheeped by the "vets" still completely boggles me mind.


Are you on drugs? Where did I say that?

Scum are openly bad all the time. The just-abandoned XXIII had YourHarry throwing votes around with no explanation and he was scum. Normal Mini Mafia had prplhz throw around votes followed by a terrible cop claim and we all didn't lynch him because we didn't believe scum could be so bad, but he was scum and he was that bad.


That's a rather ignorant blanket statement. You have clearly not been utterly destroyed by some of the scum teams on this forum.

Also, hindsight is 20/20. It's easy to look back and pluck examples like that, but there are just as many, if not more, examples of townies being bad and throwing votes around.


Custos - you're missing what I was saying. I'm not saying all scum are bad. Kei made the point that he didn't think scum would be bad so early. I was providing counterexamples.

@Marv: oh yea, I remember this game. I missed the first day or two of it, but read the later days.

So point taken, scum can play really..."badly" on day1. How often does it happen though? I can link you to a lot more examples where the person with the most Scummy Marks on day1 was actually a townie.

This is part of why I always hate about the day1 lynch. Do I just vote the person who has the most scummy points? Or do I WIFOM around it because playing badly as scum just doesn't make sense most of the time?


yeah, I get what you're saying. What I'm getting at is that you should try not to WIFOM yourself out of lynches. The fact is that town and scum can play badly or well day 1 or otherwise. So all other things being equal, the guy who plays like scum has a decent chance of flipping scum.

That very same game (Normal 2), I WIFOMed myself out of yet another scum lynch day 2 with Zentor, because I simply could not believe scum would play so scummily and pick a fight with me... but again, it was in fact the case.

If you're not gonna lynch someone for playing scummily day 1, what are you going to lynch for?

##Unvote

Custos is actually getting involved in town affairs

##Vote: prplhz

prplhz very much is not.

I'm going to look more into the Forumite situation. Need to mull over what slOosh said to me and also see if I can make anything out of what seems to be a lot of 'meh' from people about it.

You still fill your posts with fluff. It makes you look bad and makes it harder to understand what you mean. I don't want you to defend yourself about this, it's done, but if your scumhunting looks like the last post then I'm going to vote to have you lynched.

Not that I disagree with you that his posts have fluff, but take a look at http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=353315&user=137393

This is just his posting style. He always used a lot of words to get his point across in that game. I don't necessarily condone the practice, because his posts were generally hard to read, but to blindly condemn him for it is just as bad. All it takes is a little research to see that this isn't some new scheme he's using to try to pull the rug over our eyes.

I don't care, he must be able to make it clear to us what his reads are. It could just as well be him posting in hexadecimal code, or with posts of exactly two sentences that always rhyme. Too much fluff makes it hard to understand what he means, that's not transparency.

Note:
risk.nuke is lurking


you ask him to make his scumreads clear
yet with ShiaoPi you yourself were nowhere near

In all seriousness, can you answer the point raised by scib/me about voting to pressure VS more likely to scumslip not under pressure?

On Mord? Not particularly, no.

His posts are extremely verbose, but so were his posts in XXII. 100% Null tell
The whole policy vs heuristics thing was a misunderstanding that I believe you cleared up. They just aren't the same thing.

Nothing he has done so far jumps out at me as particularly scummy. Both of those things are very similar to townie Mord in XXII, which Shiao obs'd, which was why I questioned him. I find that much more scummy than anything Mord has done to this point.


No, I meant anyone/anything. Who is your strongest read and why?

scib, I meant all the questions/explanations/possible contradictions in the explanations for Forumite's play.

Most likely to be scum? ick. to be continued.

For when you return - please talk about Mordanis' case on shiaopi.

I don't really see Forumite as trying to push a scum agenda. I just see him trying to fake being a townie (aka survive), but not doing a good enough of a job.


That's the problem, I don't see why if he was trying to fake a townie he'd have thrown out that pointless read so early. It doesn't add up.

I'm happy with my vote on prplhz.

I'm perplexed by Mordanis's cases so far (on me or otherwise), and sorry bro, I don't know your posting well enough to understand if it's scum motivation or if they're just awful and full of contradictions.

Kinda a bit suspicious of HiroPro at the moment for content and very suspicious of Keirathi. He's made one post with his opinions on lynch candidates, and apart from that his entire filter is jabs, picking, poking, criticising.

I'm pretty curious about slOosh's lack of thread presence actually.

As for Mordanis. The meta read I get off him at the moment is town because of the fact he made a case on me. The game I remember him winning as scum he basically blended into the woodwork. Taking me on doesn't seem like the kind of risk or play he'd make as scum I don't think.

eh slOosh

1) if I had wanted to be less wishy-washy about Foru I could easily have stuck my neck out, called him scum, and not got in trouble with it. The fact that my gut instinct on Foru was town while I believed the case was good was where the indecision came from.

2) Someone can be bad and town. What of it?

3) My case on CL was similar to my case on s0lstice in Not Themed where I backed down from it after he started contributing. There's no point in it if CL thinks it's just light pressure (this is where foru and I differ on what 'pressure' is...)

Basically you're saying I've been wishy washy in a situation as scum I could easily have come down firmly, and you're saying I'm calling Mordanis bad for being bad.

That's not a case, that's you not liking my play.

In short, Custos Luna doesn't give a shit about town. His original quote-post of scib's was unexplained with his own opinion and served to disrupt the thread by making people talk about an irrelevant non-contradiction. He excuses himself for scumhunting. He is currently my favourite lynch target.
##Vote: Custos Luna

This is the exact same reason that marv first votes for CL!!!



also this is a complete misrepresentation of what occurred in thread. I was calling Mordanis bad for saying that looking for players who don't care about town doesn't make sense. So of course it's the same fucking reason I voted for CL...

Why did you choose to edit out the formatting from my post that made it clear that it was not I, myself, talking in the first quote there?
