Rad and Oats are SCUM

Rad just made what has to be the scummiest play thus far this game. I showed earlier that his reaction to my joke post about voting Oats for a previous game could be a scum move (would like to note that I find it interesting that it was in regards to Oats, because as things currently are Oats and Rad are extremely scummy and it seems Oats started a shit wagon on me (as I pointed out earlier based on blatant lies)) and now Rad just hoped on in the most obviously scummy way.

Earlier we had an exchange of posts,

You're down for lynching strictly based on his play from last game (where he was town) rather than scum hunting and lynching your biggest scum read? What exactly do you expect to get from this?


That is him trying to form an easy wagon, though he quickly has to drop it because I am too hasty to point out that I clearly stated it was a joke.

Yes scum are often quick to jump on shit ideas. It is interesting that you say that you are quick to jump on shit ideas, then later in the game you immediately jump on my wagon for what can only be described as shit reasoning:

I'm curious, kick. Do you want to vote for people you think are scum, or people you think are dumb? (oh wait, we just found out the answer to that)

##Vote: Kickstart



Now here I have Oats and Rad's best attempt at making a case on me. Now I encourage you to look at what they claim I have done, and then read my actual posts in the thread - doing this will show you that their cases on me are based on blatant misrepresentation. Note that I have pointed this out already to them, but they (mainly Oats as he is the most active, Rad is in and out of the thread and never really engages in much conversation thus far) are desperately trying to keep this wagon going.

Their cases on me spoilered:

I'm all caught up now.

@kick

Not sure what else to say to you about your concerns with me but TBH that's just my play style. I'm a bit embarrassed that I totally missed the jkjk but what happens is I read something really stupid and then feel the need to jump on it immediately. Feel free to glance over my previous games (XXIX and XXX) if you'd like to see this in action.

@CC

1. "I have no idea who to lynch, but I can justify it because of this post!" - this hasn't happened, why even speculate that it will happen? What's the point of casting suspicion on me for something I haven't even done?

2. If kick's idea was sincere, I'd have major problems with it (as I've already said). My concern there was your quoting "shit idea" as if it wasn't one. I thought perhaps you read his idea differently than how I did, thus my question.

3. Kick literally FoS's yamato then immediately turns around and says "weeelll maybe I'm being too harsh, what's everyone else's thoughts?" Looks like useless trying to be useful. I wanted to get him to talk more about it instead of letting him push it back out onto everyone else.

Thoughts so far:

- leaning scum on kick - just my gut initial feeling, I'm going to focus more on looking into it when I have time after work tonight
- leaning town on yamato - he's acting just like last game IMO, I feel like he'd have to change things up if he were scum
- mind blown trying to understand axle, but I'm happy that he's trying now (his change feels super newbie town, so leaning town) and want to see where he goes with his oats discussion
- leaning town on CC, I feel like he was much less confrontational in his scum game and he's asking good questions

Other reads are pretty null

Going to be fairly lurky today, until tonight when I'm off work and can focus on everything, but wanted to get this post out there in the meantime. I will try to get chances throughout the day to respond when possible.

Rephrase your question, it makes no sense to me. I am saying that if I have a strong scum read on someone I am pushing that read over a lurker lynch, but if I have no strong read I would be fine with a lurker lynch. I have no idea if I will get a scum read or if I get one how strong it will be, there isn't enough to go on yet.


Last game, we lynched lurkers and it didnt go too well, vets posted and said that its unlikely that a scum is a lurker and STILL
Kickstart posts this. It reads as very wishy, washy allowing him to keep all his options open.
Lynching a lurker is good for scum because it doesnt really show strong opinions either way because its a lurker, coinflippy.

For example I FoSd Yamato because I don't like much his actions up to this point. It was mostly that what he was doing didn't sit well with me therefor I pointed out what I didn't like and asked others about it. Just the fact that to me he seemed really incessant with his policy talks and then just immediately threw a vote on someone when they didn't answer him. My reaction was just a gut reaction but to figure out if I think it is scummy or not I need to look through his dialogue and try and figure out his intentions, but I wanted to see what others thought about it if anything.



Kickstart is looking for town support here, he doesnt want to vote yamato if no one else votes for him...

His whole case on yamato is just him jumping on a small thing that he doesnt even explain how it is scum aligned or even aligned at all.

##Vote: Kickstart


Now again it is important that you read what they claim I said, and then read what was actually said.

A portion of my case against them is asking you to go back and read the discussion between us to see that the scum motivation that I have pointed out (their starting of a bad wagon and determination to keep it going) is really there and for that I apologize because I wish I could just post it all here but then I would be posting our entire filters. This isn't perhaps as comprehensive as I would have liked for reasons I already apologized for but if you have any questions or wish me to expand on anything please ask.

I'm becoming less and less sure about who is scum at this point, I am beginning to think that it may be possible that two sides of town have started going at it while scum can easily sit it out with having to contribute much. This heated debate is not producing much more meaningful information from either side and I think the conversation needs to calm down and be reconsidered, since there seems to be a lot of rash and reactionary voting going on, which I don't believe is productive to town. The thread is turning into a brawl, which will make it easier for scum to sheep a vote without much more reason than jidolboy gave. Given that, I myself am going to ##Unvote for the meantime until the conversation becomes a little more productive and informative.


There is some truth to this Arn, but realize that scum will have to put their vote down at some point so what you have to do is evaluate the circumstances and reasoning they give for their vote. Like look at Rads vote on me, and you see someone who is just sheeping onto a wagon that is beyond weak - clear scum play.

Oats, I am not interested in continuing this discussion about me quoting shit. Examples have been provided yet you still harp on about it. The thread is here and our filters are here for everyone to read and judge for themselves and that is what I asked them to do.

I don't like that jidol gave no reasons, but I do think he is on the right side . I would have to submit that him just throwing down a vote without even a word is not really what he should be doing, not sure if you can say it is scummy though because we have no idea what his motivation or intentions are.

Anyways I am tired and in no mood to continue talking to the brain-dead Mr. Oats, so I shall retire for the night.

When I get up I hope to see some responses to my case and I will answer questions or expand on things if asked. Again I know I asked a lot in terms of reading everything but doing so will show that their play thus far is extremely scummy.

Him making a huge post on his read of the host is not "his style of writing". It's blatant trolling. If you want to tolerate it, that's up to you but I think he doesn't belong in this game.

Kickstart, the try-hard scum

Last game didn't work out so well for him. He was scum, got caught, and lost the game. For any of you who followed this, perhaps you'll remember a bit about how it was played out. He was an ass, and he has claimed (before this game) that this would continue to be his meta. I see some of you are fooled by it, but all you have to do is read his previous game and note that the differences aren't all that drastic.

Scum doesn't care who dies, as long as it's town

From NMM XXXI:

Don't think this really needs too much justification but I will give a bit anyways. Bad play since beginning, suspicious and scummy. After numerous requests to shape up from many people he is still unable to and is still sheeping his vote around while making no real cases on anyone (I am sorry but some crap case that you yourself are the first to dismiss shortly after you make it don't count).

You have had ample opportunity to change my mind by scum hunting and posting a decent case on anyone. Since you refuse to do so and your most recent posts are just more evidence that you refuse to do so I am putting my vote on you. You still have time to scum hunt and start playing the game - I suggest you do so.

##vote: Oatsmaster


Here he votes oats not because he feels oats is scum (everyone can use the word "scummy"), but because oats isn't being productive town. NOT a reason to vote town.

This is of course the prelude to today's WTF moment of:

Because dumb.


"So Rad, if kick did this shit last game, why would he do it this game?"

Let me point you to promo's huge post giving him and helo some suggestions:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=381931&currentpage=83#1660

Some interesting things to note (that I think are noticably different from his last game and this game):

1. "You needed to make your reads and stick to them. Scum often want to sit back and allow town to make cases for them, you needed to make your cases stronger and to push them instead of being wishy washy."

As scum, he needs to change his meta to be more in your face and consistent. He's doing exactly this. Last game, he'd just talk shit, but wouldn't follow through with it. This game, he's adapted.

2. "Always take the chance, as scum, to attack the townie doing something so dumb that you can't understand it."

I don't know how this suggestion could be more literal than kick, literally, calling Axle dumb and voting him. Were you LOLing when you made that vote kick, thinking no one would fucking get it?

"Ok ok, Rad, enough of the meta shit, is that all you got?"

Of course not. Wtf.

Take the easy prey, and stick to it

I tend to jump on "shit ideas" quickly. This is how I play. You can read my last 2 games (NMMXXIX and NMMXXX) and see that's what I do. I did it vs scum debears in the first game, and vs town debears in the second game, and many more times throughout those games.

I did it here too, to kick's shit idea, and proceeded to question him about it.

OK kick, sure buddy, you saw that cheese had a smarter question than you and decided to attempt to sheep it, all the while pushing suspicion on me (I "brushed it away"? wtf no I answered your question) and suggesting it was a **SCUM TRAP!!!***

And where does this go? Kick literally throws out a "HUGE post" about yamato and me, with the only point being about my mistaken questioning of his joke (which he, again, takes the opportunity to point out that "oh bummer I should have caught him in my scumtrap because he's obviously scum".)

On December 04 2012 15:59 Kickstart wrote:

Unfortunately I immediately revealed that I was joking and then the whole thing was dropped, otherwise I could have maybe pressed it a bit and gotten more of a reaction from him, but again I view his initial reaction as slightly scummy.


He then proceeds to whine about no one reading his post, and how everyone's stupid because of it (read after his "HUGE post" about me and yamato), attempting to give himself more town credit (also note that I responded to his post before he started whining, and he did not persue me further - satisfied with my answer or scum too lazy to push the issue?).

To summarize:

1. Has fooled many by acting like a more vocal "can't possibly be scum" asshole rather than a "pick your targets carefully" asshole.

2. Clearly sheep's CC's reasoning and attempts to push suspicion onto me after the fact, as if it were his plan all along.

3. Tried to increase the importance of his "HUGE post" by calling people out for "not reading it" and basically saying "acknowledge me or I will ignore you."

4. Failed the ultimate test of voting for the correct (townie) reason: town does not vote for "dumb" as he put it, town votes for scum. Then plays it off as "scum trap" when I call him out on it and OMGUS votes me.

I am now exhausted and going to bed. I will read and respond to replies to this when I get a chance tomorrow, but again, I'll be working and only have limited availability until I'm done (should be around the same time as today, but will try to push for getting done earlier since lynch is tomorrow).
