umm lol? What is this scum tactic of 'selective quoting'? It's not like I'm changing your words around - I'm simply addressing things that I don't agree with.ckool5000 wrote:Achilles wrote: In fact, it seems like you're using the scum tactic of selective quoting... Or maybe it's just me.

Selective quoting being used to change the context of the quote is a weak tell, depending how out of context the quote is. If I say "I don't think we should lynch Mastin because he's a mod-confirmed innocent child," and was quoted saying, "Lynch Mastin, he's a child" then yes, that is quite scummy. However, if a paragraph having absolutely nothing to do with the point you are addressing, then it's a more questionable tell.-

I can understand getting flustered under pressure, but you could say "I was getting frustrated by the pressure" or "annoyed" or "unsure," but writing "cracking" makes me think like you have something to hide.and you guys turned it intome cracking under pressure (which I kinda was, I admit)kindawas, meaning... well... you get my point...

What question did you ask him?Kublai Khan wrote:
He re-sent my role PM.ZazieR (417) wrote:Also, what did the mod say about your question you said you''d ask him?
Because the Ceruleans didn''t make the kill. Which leaves only two killing roles which could have done so. For somebody who doesn''t want to discuss who could have done so, it''s rather strange that you''d say that we have a lucky vig.
You're totally barking up the wrong tree. As I said before: I asked ckool5000 why he thought "Scenario A" happened and not "Scenario B".ZazieR (417) wrote:I asked who you thought killed Konowa. You said that you think that the Cerulean mafia didn''t kill him. But for other killing roles, you didn''t know.
Yet, in the quote of which I accuse you slip, you''re stating that a vig did it without adding a word that can show a sign of possibility, aka ''can'', ''possibly'', etc.
Yet, you even considered that the third kill could have been from a third scum team. So for somebody who states that he doesn''t know, you''re very certain that a vig did it. And that''s only possible in one way as I''ve already said.
Your accusation of me making a scum-slip doesn't even make sense anyways. There are obviously three killing roles. If I was a non-vig killing role, then how would Iknowit was the vig and not the other killer? And if I were the vig, then why would I claim miller?
This to me makes only sense to say when you know it was the vig, which is only possible if you are the vig or SK/part of second scum team. As you claimed miller, you can''t be the vig. Leaving SK/member of the second scum team.
Also, how come you didn''t have anything to say about the points I brought up against your IRC ''paranoia'' and your argument against me regarding ckool''s post?Ignore the ''R''-

So how does this put pressure on somebody:

It''s indeed playstyle. When you vote for meta reasons, you compare his playstyle in one game with the way he played in different games. If it''s different than the games in which he was town, it''s likely he''s scum in this game. Or if it''s the same in which he was scum, he''s likely scum.Wicked wrote:And also what do you mean when you guys are talking about metas?Ignore the ''R''-

No, I won''t. But as long as my gut says he''s newbtown, I''ll count on that.Kise wrote:Does that mean you'll dismiss every potential scumslip of his and charge it to him being newb? What if he was newbscum; have you considered that as well?
And yes, I''ve considered he could be newbscum, but my gut says he''s newbtown. And I trust my gut on this.

Uhm, no. If you think somebody is scum, you try to convince others to vote that player in order to get his lynch. Give me reasons why you believe otherwise.Hayker wrote:As for rofl telling me to convince him to vote for johnny over mastin in the next few posts. I do not believe I should need too. Not because it is obvious that johnny is mafia, but because you should vote for whoever YOU think you should vote for. Not because of what other people think, I stand by this belief in mafia, because..well....it just makese logical sense. It's just dumb to be wrong off of other peoples thoughts.(Assuming the thoughts are wrong, they could be right)
Don''t like this.I'm not saying don't vote me because I'm a noob though. Do not think that, if you suspect me, vote by all means. It wont be a heavy loss for town anyways, I'd be a better lynch than most maybe mafs right now.
Especially as you seem to respond more to those posts aimed at you, than posts which you see as scummy. Why is that?
Not a scumtell.Also what do you people think of Johnny's sudden leaving at pressure on him? This could imply scummish behavior, but I don't consider that a scum tell really. Mostly because I have already seen 3 different ocasions here where the town that left was leaving because of life. They were still lynch in the end though.Ignore the ''R''
