Also i coudl argue a lot of those contradictions are actually not contradictions and you just misunderstood what jlaw was trying to say. that's what I meant by biased. It's not shitty, he's scum because he's been chasing scum objectives; distancing himself from balla whilst not actually trying to convince people to lynch him, then as soon as it happens tries to claim towncred for it. The contradictions just seal the deal on an already obvious scum. do you see how you coudl be seen as doing the same exact thing, minus the trying to claim towncred for it part. (that is the most superficial part btw so scum isn't even likely to do that) How have I been trying to distance myself from Balla? I hadn't interacted with him barely at all. I had only skimmed his filter by the time he was up for lynch. Have you read the game?

Your view of the game just makes no sense. The scum you are suggesting do not work as partners. You are scum and i twill fill my heart with joy to see you flip red. I have said beforehand that I think you look scummy as shit. This is an opinion I've been returning to despite the thing Rayn quoted. From the skimming over Balla's filter I found him moderately suspicious, but my strongest read was still on you.

What I really want to hear is Artanis talk about his read on suki. I don't think she's scum. The way she openly was depressed about not having reads after a scum got lynched is something I'm fairly certain no scum would ever dare burn their fingers on. Especially with how the newbie game went for her I find it hard to see her as scum.

Kush if you thought it was so scummy why did you never push me? Why are you coming back to it only now? And yes you usually have a shit filter but even then you usually have some form of contribution to add. You don't this game.

It didn't become clear to me how strongly this implicated you were town until he put it down in a sequence. I'm fairly sure most people switched over because they felt Balla was a better lynch, not because they thought that meant you were likely to be town.

I think kush is scum. I think balla is scum. I think kush put a bus vote on balla and got an easy out when I said something. No one else will vote balla. Lynch kush. So why is it that once people start LOOKING AT balla, suddenly Jonny is more interested in lynching Kush? On January 22 2014 03:01 JonnyLaw wrote: Balla I still think you're scum.
You post essentially nothing this game. Then you pop back into the thread and pick a convenient lurker to lynch. You're not making an effort to solve this game.
How is sheeping rayn by saying he's here to move the game forward any type of acceptable play? In the last game you kept commenting oh how you play too nicely and trying to FIND SCUM while I randomly harassed people into talking.
you ask questions, but pose them doubtfully like you're not sure and don't care if they're answered. Your play this game is completely scummy. in 40 hours all you've managed to conclude is that rayn (nine pages of filter) is town and you can sheep him safely while crossfire (one page of filter) looks bad so you can post something without fear of him coming back at you with a defense.
It certainly seems like he still "thinks Balla is scum", so why not vote? Maybe his next vote will be on Balla.... On January 22 2014 03:56 JonnyLaw wrote:##unvote##vote zarepath
Yeah, your last post sealed it for me. Your explanation for bum being scummy is that he took his vote off VE when no one would follow his lead. You took your vote off VE when you thought it was an easy thing to do. They're not obviously different at all.

You win. I'm not going to pursue this charade if no one else finds it worth while. If he did not ACTUALLY think he would never take his vote off without VE satisfactorily answering his questions (which is the case, as evidenced by him taking his vote off of him), what was the purpose of stating it in such a dramatic way? I'm thinking for appearance, which is actually backed up by the second quote, where he shares his rationale for dropping the vote, which is purely because of what everyone else thinks. The ideal townie would pursue his read no matter what, but a non-ideal townie isn't necessarily scum. What shouts scummy to me is the transparent motivation of focusing on how everyone else perceives his arguments, and not on his arguments themselves.
He tried to back up his case for two days and it gained no traction. You abandoned yours after two fucking minutes when VE said lynch me if I'm scum. You literally have one post saying I made a case and that's it. After that it's like total 180 and you jump on the same person VE has his vote on.
Nope...it's on Zarepath. So him saying he's thought Balla was scum like all D1 is pretty meaningless, because when Balla was being discussed, there was never any "Hey yeah! I like that guy for scum too!" or a vote or anything. In fact, when the votes started dropping, Jonny was on the other guy. He's thought Balla was scum all game long, but doesn't really interact with him much, nor does he vote for him until he's already dead and buried. [b]4. Accuses people without purpose.

No, I can imagine them. He's just lurking though so it's hard to say. So there's this thing he found interesting except he could see it done as both alignments. Okay. [b]5.

Hell if it were up to me I'd lynch balla today but that doesn't seem likely. I've played 3 games with him in the last 2-3 months and this is not how town balla should be playing. So, when something's not working find another scummer to lynch. And I think Rayn did exactly that when he found Zarepath.

This does not make any sense. That should be pretty much slam dunk already. Now for the recent posts which seem to have given people a townread on him somehow. 7. Case on SukiCases can be bad and that doesn't make the person that makes them scummy. However, the choice of target on its own doesn't make sense. When you're a townie and you feel down and out and there's one person trying to motivate you to try again, who do you filter first to try and find scum? Generally it isn't the person trying to motivate you. So why would a scum JL do it? Because she was the best target that no one had really made a case on yet. Making a case on Bum wouldn't get you any credit because VE's already done it. Suki was the one with the filter easiest to portrait as scum that no one did yet. A perfect target for a scum case. The effort involved wasn't too much either, simply quoting posts and adding a line here and there and suddenly towncred galore. 8. Instant flip with town consensusOkay, now that the town cred has been accrued, let's see who we can actually lynch. Artanis is getting a lot of votes, let's plop my vote down there. What's strange is that the thing that's showing I'm town the most, the effort I put into getting my target lynched, is somehow scummy to him. From all the things in my filter that's what he points out. It shows a lack of a town mindset. Lynch JonnyLaw. He's scum. Lynch me if I'm wrong. 1) While you bring up a lot of neat points, artanis, none of it is really damning. JL talking about balla and not voting him until the end is curious, but eventually he does when it matters, I don't think he is trying to gain anything by it. It looks more like a town thought process. I disagree strongly. This is exactly the kind of thing you want to do as scum; accuse your buddies without getting votes on him.
[2) His vote on kush is bad, but again that looks like faulty town play. He never apears to call kush town, just saying "that's how he plays", as either alignment. He is interested in how rayn came to his conclusion. He does think it over before he votes him, the distance between those posts you gave about kush are hours away from each and alot happens in between then. It doesn't look like faulty town play, it looks like a scum who can't keep his story together. Yes, it's hours away but he said he knew exactly how to read Kush, then proceeds to say he doesn't.
3) His vote on zarepath isn't awful either. EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WAS SCUM. I would have rather lynched VE, and I ate flak for taking my vote off him, and you had a town read on me at the time. His reasons are on par with someone trying to scumhunt. You would have to reach a good amount to turn that into scum that is slightly bussing. It's not about whether he thought Zarepath was scum or not, it's about how easily he stepped off the person he thought was scummiest, then proceeded to have no problems with voting for the scumspect of his scumspect.
4) Rayn accuses people without purpose to generate reads. I think JLaw's attacks have a similar goal; to draw out content from certain players. Crossfire had barely any content. He was attempting to bring attention to it an wasn't pushing CF as anything. All of this just indicates that JLaw is reading the thread and trying to come up with reads. I agree that this can be interpreted as both alignments. However, I feel the scummy one is more likely given the rest of the case; JL finds a place to throw poop at and proceeds to do so.
5/6) I think he deserves some... His post with suki about balla "playing his town game" is out of place, though. Not really. He wasn't the one that made it happen, Rayn was. All he did was accuse but convince no one.
7) I find this very silly. He is developing reads, and going into territory no one has gone before is town, not mafia. Your reasons why this is scummy are completely far-fetched. I'm not saying they're scummy per say, but people had scumreads on JL until these posts after which he suddenly became town to them. I'm saying that JL's posts even after D2 where he improved can easily be explained from a scum perspective.
8) This is alignment-read bias. If you are really convinced someone is scum, everything they do is going to have a mafia reason. And it makes perfect sense when you look at him from a mafia perspective, too. Especially with the early stuff it's damning.
Anyway, it doesn't matter since I'm getting lynched first. Just lynch JL after I flip green, then treat Kush/Thrawn with extreme scrutiny. I'm out. There's only so much arguing with Kush one can have on one day. GL Town!

Town was always going to win this after 2 scum lynches. Town victory is the logical result. Wasn't really motivated very much after Balla got lynched but I wanted to at least make you guys sweat for it

Odd that they are still stated that way. That wasn't DP's fault. This would've been bad though because a doc still being alive after one night will never be believed. You could instantly claim PC afterwards and Zare would be confirmed scum the moment you died.
