I upgraded my FoS to a vote since he was essentially the one that planted the seed about how voting for a claimed scum is scummy.farside22 wrote:xvart: Why the vote on Drippereth?
farside22 wrote:xvart: I think tries to hard to make something that was said in jest into something serious. He talks about it as WIFOM in regards to whether scum would blantantly out themselves. Seriously people are tht dumb as scum?Farside:So now, in your opinion, Escoulta is guaranteed town the rest of the game since nobody would "be that dumb as scum"? If Escoulta later acts scummy on other merits you would dismiss it because he couldn't possibly be scum? What if we do lynch Escoulta and he flips scum?
It wasn't a random vote. I never said it was. So I should have not said anything and just sat at my computer, and reflected on how I should have cast a stupid vote for someone for some stupid reason instead of voting for a claimed scum?

I'm glad I now know how to get a foolproof membership card to the town club house for future games.

All those that voted because of Elscouta's "Hi, scumbuddy!" post.PaltryExcuse wrote:
Opportunism? Every time I see that word used it is not in a positive light. Aka, opportunism = scummy.Starbuck wrote:Instead of questioning the person suspected, overreaction and opportunism reign.
Who's being opportunistic and why not vote for them?
And I haven't voted for any of them because there's more than 1 and besides that I really don't have reads yet.
It's sad how you can never read me.Drippereth wrote:If Escoul is scum, then Starbuck is scum with 'im.
I wouldn't say it was similiar at all. The incident there occurred during confirmations, and was a completely different situation than the current one at hand.Iecerint wrote:

Overreaction to what he said, thus the bandwagon on him.J-Scope wrote:
Are you seriously questions serious votes being placed about the first rvs post in the game?Starbuck wrote:Are serious votes really being placed about the first RVS post in the game?
Also 'Overreaction and opportunism' are lovely buzz words, but really I don't see either of them being applicable. Examples.
And opportunism because it's the pushing of something easy.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3-

It's a null tell at best. Not OMGUS scum lynch now. If he acts scummy later then I will go on that. Not a hey scum buddy comment. If scum were that dumb I would stop playing this game.
Someone knows how to misrepresnt the point completely, be snarky and get OMGUS all in one.

I agree that it wasn't a random vote in the sense that my vote wasn't a random vote, but I have a difficult time believing that you could accurately characterize it as a "serious" vote, which is the impression you gave.
SB, your post in this game was like LET'S NOT ALL GET CAUGHT UP IN RVS GUYS whereas that in the other upon EK replacing zwets you was more like GOSH WE LET OURSELVES GET ALL WORKED UP WITH THAT; RESET! Maybe that makes it clearer what I was referring to. It's definitely true that the situation was different, but the premise was the same.-

That's not how I was like at all and what an inaccurate way to represent me. Zwet claimed while we were still in confirmations. Game play was not supposed to begin yet and instead of PMing the mod, he decided to post in thread and thus reveal his role prior to gameplay beginning.
When EK replaced, I did want to give her a clean slate to start from, especially after all the fucktarded things that Zwet did. I truly felt, and still feel, that he ruined the game and that led to my eventual lynch.
I just don't see the similarities between the above situation and this game.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3-

What? Scummy actions are exactly those scum are more likely to do. Do you mean you think scum are more likely to do it, but you don't have any data to back it up?J-scope wrote:No evidence to suggest scum are more likely to do it though, it's just one of those things I find scummy.
SpyreX, pushing a random wagon is fun. Wagons based on crappy reasoning, however, are not.The great advantage of the tiger in unarmed combat is that he eats not only the raspberry-laden foe but also the raspberries.-

I also believe you are inaccurately representing me here. "LET'S NOT ALL GET CAUGHT UP IN RVS GUYS" is not what I meant at all. It was pretty obvious that he was joking in that post, and quite a few people took it seriously and as a scum tell and ran with it. That's where I feel the opportunism and overreaction came from.
Instead of asking for him to clarify, they jumped all over him. People that are normally cautious about that type of thing.
So no, the premise between this game and Twilight is definitely NOT the same.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3-

It's RVS isn't it normal for people to be jumpy? Otherwise I see most games where people sit on their ass's trying to initiate discussion while scum do nothing but lurk.Starbuck wrote:I also believe you are inaccurately representing me here.

I think people calling it a scum tell and pushing it as scum is over the top.Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.-

Yes, it's definitely normal for people to be jumpy, but this reasoning is some of the weakest I've seen.farside22 wrote:It's RVS isn't it normal for people to be jumpy? Otherwise I see most games where people sit on their ass's trying to initiate discussion while scum do nothing but lurk.

Uh, I fail to see the contrast you're implying.RVSEARLY GAME WAGONS, if that makes it clearer. The point is that you were objecting to an atmosphere where players join wagons (ala RVS voting) without thinking critically. Drip thought this meant you were scum with Els, but I thought it was similar to your attitude after zwet replaced out. Also:
I vaguely remember you making a post very similar to this, which is probably what jogged my memory. Ima go check.Starbuck wrote:Are serious votes really being placed about the first RVS post in the game?-

He had like 3 or 4 votes, hardly something to be concerned about. It's not like they threatened to quicklynch him within a page. It was hardly an overreaction since people found it scummy (obviously)Starbuck wrote: Overreaction to what he said, thus the bandwagon on him.
And opportunism because it's the pushing of something easy.
How is it oppurtunistic though...if people find it scummy, it's opportunistic to vote for it? I don't see it, at all. It just seems like a word people throw out, even if it doesn't always apply.
I sincerely hope you don't think zwet was the cause of your lynch in that game. I mean, if you do I've no idea what to say, but I think I can see the point iec was trying to make in general, even if I don't find it all that telling, as it seems more of a playstyle quirk than an alignment tell.When EK replaced, I did want to give her a clean slate to start from, especially after all the fucktarded things that Zwet did. I truly felt, and still feel, that he ruined the game and that led to my eventual lynch.
@ Steam Powered Shovel, I'm aware what scummy actions are, I should have said data instead of evidence.
I don't really see anything over the top about it really.Farside wrote:I think people calling it a scum tell and pushing it as scum is over the top.This is the hydra account for Jahudo and Faraday.-

J-Scope, I know that Zwet wasn't the cause of my lynch in that game. But that situation was the start of what would eventually lead to my lynch. Are we done with this distraction now? We have a game at hand, and discussing a game that ended over six months ago is not going to get us anywhere here.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3-

I don't like being told that I'm wrong. I can't help it.
If I say I LOVE MINESTRONE in a Church or in a Mall, the context is different, but the sentiment is the same.
@ J, that's totally my point -- Drip's perceived scumtell on SB was a playstyle quirk rather than an alignment tell IMO.
Second closing the issue. Was only intended to address Drip's concern.-
