If you insist, but this whole argument is so weak, I almost feel like just shrugging it off.
Kay, but I've seen newbie scum use that kind of 'Oh, don't worry, you're wrong, I'm fine' thing before.
Right from the first post, this is one of my points. The tone of voice employed by OTM is quite manipulative (Though, admittedly, I haven't read his other games so I don't know if he's always like this). Korran was the easiest target for allying with easily; then again, they could be scum partners but OTM's scum either way. Of course, this is 80% of a scum vibes kind of thing.
Yes, he'll probably strawman the above argument since it isn't that strong.
Yes, I was talking down to Korran. He is a 12-year old who doesn't know how to play, I was trying to help. I was also critical of him for playing to get a good job rather than playing to win. You call this manipulative, I call it persuasive and pro-town.
You weren't persuading him, you were manipulating him, anyone can see that. Just because you say you weren't dosen't mean you weren't.
This is OTM's third post. He's already jumping on eyce, and I don't see anything wrong with eyce's statement.
I explained what was wrong with it.
Good for you. I, however, do not agree with your reasoning (As I said) and thus I'm suspiscious of why you made the argument when it's (obviously in my own eyes) faulty.
One thing I have noticed, though is, OTM's use of 'eyecking was giving me scum vibes from the beginning' . Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't OTM one of those
who wasn't even there at the beginning
?
This is one of those things that is so dumb it is not worth responding to. When I say "from the beginning" it means from the beginning of my reading of the game. Seriously, this didn't occur to you? I don't think you are this dumb, so I am forced to think you are grasping at straws here to criticize me, which means you are scum.
OTM, stop using personal attacks. They're not helping anyone, and if anything they're just confusing all of us, and not helping the town.
Also, you took that out of context. In the previous paragraph I stated that was only your
third
post (Correct me if I'm wrong). If you had a few more posts, that would be a fair excuse.
Disclaimer 2: Wow, look at the connections between me and Eyce through the game, after re-reading. This was unintentional, and please give me the benifet of the doubt.
Interesting you felt the need to post
this
.

Fifth post, no explanations, lots of embellishment. This is probably the best example of this I can find.
I don't find it necessary to fully explain in excruciating detail every thought I have. Most of the times, I think my line of thought is fairly easy to see. If not, I will say so. This was posted after Yos's theory about intentional lurking. It seemed bizarre to me at the time, but I guess it is possible, now that I have considered it more. But I still don't find it very likely.
You don't have to say everything in 'excrutiating detail'. That's not what I'm suggesting, so stop twisting my words. All you need to do is say it. While this may not be a massive scum tell if you believed we knew what you meant anyway, all you needed to do was say 'I don't believe you because...' or say that it's unlikely.
Hm. The first paragraph is wrong, simply because of this: Even if OTM was not being overdefensive, how is it in any way no pro-town to point it out? It's perfectly reasonable for any x pro-town player to believe someone is being overdefensive even if they don't realise it. Stating your feelings is pro-town, not pro-scum. Still, I'm not ruling out Yos as scum, just that OTM's argument is faulty.
The second paragraph is slightly better. He makes a few good points, but still comes off as rather manipulative in his writing style.
I said nothing about Yos being pro or anti-town. I simply said it seemed he had to be suspicious of me from the get-go in order to get that reading on my posts. Do you have reading comprehension problems?
Can anyone believe OTM's overdefensiveness? Look, if I'm pointing out arguments why the fuck are you trying to insult me? It's a game, it's what everyone has to do, now grow up.
And you were pointing out a strange thing that Yos had done. The only singular reason you would point these out was to see if it might of been a scum tell, and therefore you thought, from that point, he might not be pro-town. I was saying I don't see how it's not pro-town? Yes? Kapeesh?
And here's his very first mention of me, his seventeenth post. Regardless, his argument in the second paragraph reeks vibes to me.
We should be looking to support the players who look the smartest and most pro-town, not those that have the best chance of winning
. Why he'd choose to support guardian solely based on the fact he had the best chance of winning is strange.
This is perfectly normal. It's the same reason you don't vote for a third party candidate for president.
Once again, just because you say it's perfectly normal it dosen't mean it is. It's a
serious
flaw to just vote for the winning guy, and not support any other views. If you thought x player would be a good director and nobody made a case for them, you should try and put an argument forward for them. You can still agree with other people's points, but that is definatly the best strategy. Voting for the second-best director in your own eyes just because they're winning is a
very
poor excuse. What you really should of done here is admitted it might of been a bad choice and have an inch of humility, becuase arguing to vote for second-best as good is just plain stupid, or scummy,
And, after that, he says he dosen't trust me out of the blue, but do you remember the context this was taken from? Two of the most suspiscious players suddenly voted for another of the most suspiscious players at the same time, with crap reasoning. Now, even if I was wrong, how is it not pro-town to point out this was strange?
Suspicious to you. I disagree that Korran and I are suspicious. Guardian, not so sure about. Again, I said nothing about your actions being anti-town. Since you seem to keep assuming this, it seems you are being kinda overdefensive here.
No, you're twisting my words. You said 'you don't trust me', implying I was not pro-town.

Little content, lots of posting.
Oh come on, I can't try to lighten things up with a humorous observation once in a while? This whole argument of yours seems like a HUUUUGGGE reach to me and makes me very suspicious of you. I find it hard to believe another townie could legitimately have so much suspicion of me based on these posts.
My argument's not a reach, because I've defended every single point, and whatever my alignment it can't be a reach from my POV. For the third time, just because you say something dosen't make it true. I find it hard another townie would be so overdefensive as to think everyone attacking them is scum.
