You think you are, or you are? Change the operative word to "could" for your answer btw.

If you have the time to write that paragraph, you have time to answer my question. Why won't you discuss your thoughts on Witchcraft, and only spend time defending yourself?

If you put Syl on the defensive by attacking for activity you are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of his lynch. That's just how it works with Syl. Try seeing what Syl does proactively first before you go all bat-shit with this. If you don't know Syl's MO then I'll make it one sentence for you: both alignments he ends up defending his activity to death and never gets the chance to do actual scum hunting. Therefore by leaving Syl to his devices you will more quickly get a feel for mindset and goals than cornering him.
This is specific to Syl only but you can check out some past games to see what I mean. A scum one was This Town Ain't Big Enough mafia if I recall correctly.
Please don't make it harder than it needs to be to get a read on Syl.

I think the votes on Van are kinda shit.

Oh, didn't notice your question - because themed games have unusual win cons on occasion (see: Desert Mini Mafia), the usual is the standard kill all scum win-con. You're putting the statement under the microscope too far if you're trying to find weird things from that though.
Depending on how things go, my thought was that claiming actions isn't the greatest idea because then it's a guaranteed Witch Hunter snipe right? Never was a fan of people fake claiming either (in this case to bait the shot) since it just ends up causing so much confusion within the town (see: any time rayn tries that crap  )
@Rayn: Active me is the one to lynch if you look at my meta as scum :|

based on how much this post (temporarily ofc  ) pissed me off I'm no longer worried about you or interested in our conversation
This vanesco thing, I could hardly be less interested in any of the arguments against him. I AM interested in WoS's post and want him to get back to me before the magic wears off.
WoS in addition to my earlier question I have another for you. Assume your scum-o-meter is like one of those strongman games where you have to use a hammer to smash the thing to ring the bell. When you read Umasi's original case and considered Vanesco's scumminess, did your bell ring? Was it a stunning note of clarity or did the slide not even make it halfway to the bell?

I have an idea, the question is, should I care whether you think that or not?
The same can be applied to Rayn's most recent thought.
Given Vanesco's latest post I'm happy with my vote where it is atm.

Why dat? I feel like my first instinct (meta aside) if I were analyzing a post like that would be scum making early excuses for himself. Seems like an odd conclusion to draw.
OO, I don't think you understood what I was saying here btw.
WHat I was saying was that I'm not sure why you gave me a townread based on me talking about sheeping; excluding meta if I saw anyone else do what I just did I'd be more likely to think that is scum-indicative.
Care to respond?
Thrawn, your latest post:
Probs 3/4 of the way up. If he's town he has plenty of time to prove himself in terms of nooby vs scummy, though since he says he has experience outside of the forum I'm less inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. Especially because I get burned on that pretty damn often.

You literally handed over any thread control you could have gained to someone else and that's not something I would associate with scum-you doing.

Have you ever seen scum-me?
And thread control based on first post?
And 'giving it up' to Umasi?
Like....I think I sort of follow your thought process maybe but that's a really weird way of explaining it. Why would you think I'd have to establish control of the thread in my first post? Do any of my first posts as town accomplish this? How does sheeping Umasi remove any credibility I may or may not have?

It wasn't like a huge ass town read I got from it, just a leaning away from default null (unless you count my earlier joke about how all'a'y'all be scum). It's an interesting thing to track as the game progresses but most importantly it's day one and I'm establishing base-line reads. That doesn't mean I agree with Umasi's case or your sheeping of it but it's a nugget I extracted from it. It's interesting that you contest me on this, but that idea leads to WIFOM city so I'll not bother you with that.

Just making sure I remembered correctly. I figured out he was scum in that game relatively handily by just starting to read towards the last day or two of the game and how his narrative started to fall apart (to me, as an uninvested observer). Are you familiar with his more recent scum games and has it improved significantly if you are?
