We don't like how he apparently missed a ton of crumbs
We don't like how he seems to be currying favor with players rather than sorting them
We don't like the pitoli vote and especially don't like its timing. It came off like he was trying to deflect attention after we first went after him.
We don't like how he tried to push the non-aggression pact on us.
We don't like the whole tone of the exchange with Brian. The whole tone of that sounded off.
And we found Thor's posts pretty damn close to null content.
And finally, we don't like that when we asked him what he thought about SSK, he said that he was thinking about moving his vote there if Thor agrees. That was off for two reasons: the assumption that we were scumreading, not trying to sort SSK, and because he deferred the decision waiting for a catch up. That's not something he typically does as a hydra.
Cabd or ffery should understand what the question mark was about.In post 1398, DOMO wrote:Do we really have to post walls and put a question mark up to make it look like you're scumhunting? This is bullshit.
I like ffery's post on casso, and this flurry of activity does not look like town trying to catch up, it looks like someone trying to present themself as a busy townie.
vote casso
I'm feeling better about ffery right now, and a casso scumflip would cement that.
Nice scumclaim. Don't think? You should KNOW if you're town.In post 1401, Casso the King of Seals wrote:I also don't think that's a scumtell for me.
When I catch up I just read, and reply to posts that are directed at me, or highlight posts that ping. That might just be a style thing, but ffery's case plus your "don't think" comment has me liking this more than varsoon, who I could just have problems reading.In post 1403, Casso the King of Seals wrote:The "flurry of activity" is me catching up on an iPad.

In post 1412, Imperium wrote:OMG. Why would not picking up crumbs be a scum tell in the first place. It's mostly a player tell. And scum have more reasons to pick up crumbs because you know crumbs. And anyone who even minutely knows cabd's play knows to take that shit with a grain of salt. So end the dumb discussion already.
I'm not as assertive as you and Tammy are about my towniness. I don't think that me not picking up on crumbs is a scumtell or a town tell or why ffery was thinking that it was. It could be one of those scumtells that I don't know about, so it's not the type of thing I can reject outright.

I don't buy it. I'd be a lot more assertive if someone was claiming something I just did as town was a scum tell. I have been in this very game. Yeah you're scum.
How else am I to interpret this? I keep looking at it and I'm seeing the same thing over and over. From a town pov, you would KNOW it is not a scumtell for you.

Maybe not, but it also meant you missed a ton of subtext around other players' reactions. That's a degree of not thinking like I'm thinking that scares me.In post 1401, Casso the King of Seals wrote:-I am picking up on less crumbs than I normally would because iPad.

A pitoli vote makes more sense coming from you at this juncture.-I am currently considering going back to the Pitoli vote. The timing coincided more with my entrance in thread than your suspicion of me, though.
Why Cabd?-Why not? The only advantage it offers me as scum is the towncred. I offered it originally because I thought Cabd would appreciate the gesture, but he apparently didn't get it.
Brian came into the game with a hard edge. That's unique in the games I've played with him. You interacted with him, but didn't seem curious about the hard edge in his posting.-don't understand where tone was off there.
Nati's not feeling all that confident about reading SSK correctly, but we were both thinking maybe town due to how he handled the pressure he was put under. We were looking for external impressions both to test our thoughts and to sort the thinkers.-I thought Nati was scumreading SSK and I was pretty ready to move forward on that. I'm no better at sorting him than ffery is and so thought the method of approach to him this game was to leave him in Nati hands. You are correct that I usually don't wait to sync up as a hydra. Thor is not my usual hydra partner; my usual hydra partner is someone like you or GiF who can see why I'm thinking what I'm thinking and doesn't diverge on my most basic of reads. There are other hydrate where i take primary control and thus don't differ much from my usual play. Then there are hydrate like Majiffy where our approaches differ in a way where my play needs to change significantly. With him, I tend to exert my personality over his since my reads are superior to his, hence Vegito and ridiculous aggression. With Thor, the biggest thing I want this hydra to give me is a greater understanding of him and for him to understand these pieces of our meta a little more. I don't think playing in the usual way will help me with that, and am much more comfortable with waiting for him than I am not waiting for him.
Town and wrong. Pushing me is one of the most reliable town tells ffery has, and this feels like a decent push.In post 1418, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:Nacho, what is your read on Geists considering their case on you? Do you think they are town and wrong, or are they scum for it?

No, I totally get that statement and it's not scummy per se. I feel like there's an entire submerged iceberg's worth of behaviors in my scum game that I'm not aware of. I reverse engineer what my scum game looks like externally from foses, votes and the occasional (but too rare) discussions that actually talk about what pinged in enough detail for me to get past "but I do that all the time as town????"In post 1415, DOMO wrote:How else am I to interpret this?

I flew by one, got FoSed for it, went back, over-estimated what it was about, tested that, and eventually had a working hypothesis. That was one ripple of many.
You didn't react to any of that.
