I can't do it in my patented "case without a case" style. Like, normally, I would just put a paragraph or two, maybe three, describing to you in words why a player is scum. That would be my case. I don't often go through the time and effort of actually bringing up the quotes, the links, to support it, because in general I assume that a player will iso BBMolla to see if the things I am saying of him are true. Basically, I'd normally give you my interpretation of his actions, leave you to iso him, and then you would then determine if you think my interpretation of his actions holds water.
...I can't find the words to do that for Molla. It's more of a, "just kinda needs to be shown", sort of thing. I can't say "just fucking iso him", because I know it's not immediately obvious upon isoing him. But I promise you: the case against BBMolla is far from just his role. It's that he's done scum stuff the whole game. The way he went about D1 in particular. It was bad every step of the way. The most egregious part being his reaction to the Pine guilty.
Remember how I said that there was something I wanted to say about the lynch on Pine?
Basically, what I wanted to say was this:
Scum are infinitely more likely to have had this reaction to the guilty.
They start off questioning the guilty, trying to see where it comes from, what sort of validity it has, trying to see if it can be talked out of. And when they determine that it can't be, they vote the doomed scumbuddy.
That's a really crappy explanation of the concept, I need to go and explain exactly what I mean in more detail, but one of BBMolla's sins was that he did exactly that: he tried to argue against the Pine guilty, until he understood that it was not something which could be fought against. At that point, he sheepishly joined the wagon.
God I wish I wasn't so busy right now. I need to explain this better, absolutely NEED to, but I'm not sure if I have the ability to, and even if I do, the time to.
