Grow the fuck up and stop thinking people are mind readers and give context so people can actually follow what you're thinking.
I've ignored your slot because I saw you and Pine as opposing forces and was against Pine, but that's pretty narrow-minded.
Actually analyzing you leads to the conclusion that you don't really care to find scum.
If we refer to when you start making votes, it really sucks. You mention Wraith in #241 with a vote, label his push opportunistic, but do not do anything else with it.
Interestingly enough, you don't really interact with Wraith after that. But his posts must have been good, because you've changed your stance to a townread as of late. I should think you'd have.. one or two direct interactions with him between point A and point B... but none at all. "I like [x player]" is really convenient. Really, really convenient.
Your next vote is on Alisae. I've illustrated prior why this wagon is shit and I can take all the things that I said about Pine and rb and apply them to your push without doing unnecessary leg work here.
However your presence on this wagon is important because of its dynamic.
You have your town pushing Alisae because he's lynchbait. You have sensible people defending Alisae because we can see he's lynchbait. You have those who are uncertain. You have those who say we can do without him. Then you have the scum who can just as easily join the wagon and not be differentiated from town because the arguments to lynch said lynchbait are the same simple bullshit reasons, but if you say them with enough conviction like you do, no one is going to look at you twice. Town is easily distracted. They've other shiny things they can focus their attention on.
However looking at your arguments with him, you've managed to craftily misrepresent everything he says in response to you to make him look bad, when all this tells us is you don't care about new information because you have a fixed read or because it doesn't matter to you because all you need is something to push.
Your votes change and stuff and ...eh.. I'm inclined to agree with AA about your reads.
Speaking of AA, your approach to him was entirely plastic.

But somehow you can get a scumread on Slick based on his opinion of.... no players...? Your vote there was terrible. Your vote's still there. It's terrible. This statement is as well.
Anyone can ask questions. Scum does it a lot. It doesn't really mean anything because there's always something to ask about.
All your scumhunting has been the jack of all trades, master of none sort. It takes up space, looks good, but at large accomplishes nothing and town can siphon nothing from your efforts because it's all for show.
When pushed by or negatively engaged with anyone, you turn to a hardass as if you can strong-arm your way out of every conceivable situation. It can only take you so far.
If you say I'm still pushing for an Alisae lynch, that's a strawman argument. Nice paragraph but it crumbles if you're accusing me of still pushing her.
The difference between AA and Slick is quite simple. One is putting in leg work and AA's arguments are justifiable while Slick has admitted to not wanting to contribute or put in his input. That's a scum claim in my book.“To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

Actually, I really love this question. Tell me the scum motivation in wanting everyone to contribute?
Also tell me the pro-town agenda with allowing lurkers to continue playing throughout the game?
Let me tell you exactly why, as scum, lurkers are your best friend. It's because those slots don't do anything, and when it gets close to the middle-end game, you can easily slam lurkers for mislynches because they just don't defend well or slow play to hide under the radar while TvT argue all game.
The best strategy in a large is to kill the loudest voices and leave the quietest alive. When town is full of quiet people, the scum voice is strong and town won't be able to communicate effectively to figure out the truth and bam you have a win.
I honestly don't see any logical reasoning as to the benefit of allowing people to just be part of the game and spectate. You give them a free pass because they don't contribute and that's just horse shit reasoning for any defense on a player.“To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

And I did not do that. I talked about your votes and when I talked about the Alisae vote I talked about the Alisae wagon.

It's very disingenuous to imply that I should be applying the same argument to that slot as I am to yours. Anyone can see why.
The only purpose it serves you to do something like that is to detract from my argument and not actually address it, which is what you've attempted to do here.
For one, I'm fine with him lurking at the moment because I don't believe he intends to cause harm and we have bigger fish to fry. There's no real reason for me to have to judge his slot the same as your slot considering the stark differences both of you have and the way the gamestate has progressed.
A lurker lynch Day 1 of all places is piss poor. We have so much more shit to go off of.
You're only using this as a pivotal point of your argument because you're trying to discredit me.

Preferring a lurker lynch to players who've posted on Day 1 no less, means you can't scumhunt or you prefer to aid scum.
The argument that lurkers help scum can hardly be applied here when you look at the ratio of posting players to lurking players and the content and influence of posting players.
Regardless of how much merit it actually has, the truth is that argument is not relative to this gamestate at the moment. Thus you are only using it because my argument must be discredited and credibility removed from me for you to succeed here.
You've had plenty of chances to respond to 1194 and none of them have been very flattering.
What's worse is rather than attempting to explain your supposed town motivations and thought processes behind most of what I mentioned in that post your response is immediately to try and find fault with and attack my statements because they endanger you. It's very, very scummy. Portraying Slick's statement the way you want it to look so you can justify your vote there is also scummy. I had to say it again.
- What I said about Alisae either was completely misunderstood or you threw it over your head as to avoid engaging it, because what you responded to was not my argument. The 180 isn't really important. Your engagements with him at the time tell me everything I really need to know.
As I said before in 1195, since rb has been confirmed innocent child you have not engaged him about his SR on you. Your only method of defense IS to attack your opponent, verbally spar with and present faulty arguments because you cannot defend yourself with your towniness. But now he is clear. So you can't attack him and if he were to explain you couldn't make these runaround arguments and misrepresent what he said and talk about other things. You can't do anything of that nature that you would normally do because it's not going to work so you just duck it entirely.
What's interesting is that one would assume you'd at least try to level with that read if you were town. Find out what prompted it and explain why and see if that reconciles anything. Our IC, no less. Beacon of hope for the town. I'd want him to see sense if I was town and he hard scumread me. You know, at least attempt to convince him to stop wasting his fucking time being that he's the IC and all.. and he has all that sway over the town..... and stuff...
Nope, radio silence. That's interesting.
He even said it again recently that you're scum. Still no engagement? But you can engage me.
I don't think that it's one of those things that will go away if you just ignore it... but whatever works for you.-

So lets look at that wagon some more. The VC said there was 4/10 votes on Alisae, I was the 5th vote on it and I was actually the catalyst of pushing that lynch further and I had a lot of discussion with Alisae, in fact I was the main one arguing with her. Didn't "try to blend in there" Also I've only voted Alisae once and that vote lasted a little more than 2-3 hours. Now, if I stayed on that wagon for a long time, that wagon analysis would have made sense with my presence on it with me just place holding my vote on her but it didn't last for anything. That's the real dynamic of it.In post 1210, Zachstralkita wrote:

I've shown a consistent theme of voting lurkers until they contribute for the main purpose that I can gain reads on them.
First Creature, bam now he's hella active and I stopped pushing it.
Second Gamma IIRC and once he's started posting, I felt better about his slot.
Now I'm at Slick and once he starts posting, I'll be able to get a read on him and go further from there.

I responded to what you said.
The vote on Slick was scummy. Your portrayal of what he said was what made it scummy. I went over this already.
You said he " didn't want to contribute." Implying he deliberately chose to act this way with the end goal of remaining stagnant and not providing information to the town.
Except he said he CHOSE not to to so because he felt other, stronger players were doing a lot of scumhunting and decided to sit back. Meaning you misrepresented him to justify your vote. He finishes said post with a comment on drealmerz, who is another lurker which is admittedly interesting.
He also did not say his non participation was for an indefinite period of time.
At best your vote here is premature hasty judgement on a slot who's been lurking, much like other votes, and not going to accomplish a whole lot.
At worst it's scum. Which is what I've went with here.
What I responded to in that post was... what you said about xhxhfdkhfdlhkdhn hypocritical. I didn't imply that the Slick vote wasn't scummy.

As for the Alisae wagon discussion, the need was not to "try to blend in there". You passively do. All you have to do is vote lynchbait for [reasons lynchbait is lynchbait here]
Your early engagement with him was largely fixed and produced nothing. You were not trying to find out his alignment. You were taking everything he said and using it as more fuel for your push on him.
You skipped over AA. Where he appeared, made some good posts and you retreated back because you "couldn't get a read on him".TheRealGin-N-Tonic wrote:I've shown a consistent theme of voting lurkers until they contribute for the main purpose that I can gain reads on them.

In reply to a few other questions/comments from before:
Yes it's been a while since I've played a game. My style here is different from the past; I'm trying to apply some lessons from playing the game since last visiting this forum.
Regarding reads, I'll try and contribute more as they come, but I really do find that day two is when things make sense for me. Day one seems to be a lot of big egos duking it out while scum hunting. That's cool, but I'm just not going to end up being one of big egos. That said, Drealmerz7's first post rubbed me the wrong way with his atypical eagerness, but I've appreciated his further comments since then so I am going to change my vote to reflect this tentatively. Alisae seems to be pretty about shooting first and then not worrying about asking questions, but that can be a strategy. However, I'm ultimately swayed by Zachstralkita's argument and position regarding TheRealGin-N-Tonic so I will support it.
VOTE: TheRealGin-N-Tonic
I know this might not be a lot to offer while there is a wagon gathering for me, but that's what I've got. If I'm knocked out during Day 1, I accept that as a part of establishing culture and trimming incompatible players during the early game, even if they are townies."You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough."

I vote creature for saying he will lurk till D3 and Zach doesn't say a word.
I vote Gamma because he hasn't posted at all in the game and Zach doesn't say a word at all.
I vote AA and he doesn't say anything at all.
I vote Slick and now I deserve a vote. I'm quoting this post in twilight if I do end up being D1's lynch because I swear to god if that ain't a possibility for a chainsaw then I'm sorry but I don't know what it.
I don't find there to be any consistency to accuse me of scum when I voted a lurker and haven't said anything about the other lurkers I have voted at the time I did it.“To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

Oh and before it's said, I'm not willing to push a chainsaw until there is a flip on either of you, otherwise the tell is almost always NAI.“To be is to do”—Socrates. “To do is to be”—Jean-Paul Sartre. “Do be do be do”—Frank Sinatra.

The problem I'm still having is your choice of words you used earlier to describe your most recent read on him. Calling him a voice of reason is like calling him a town leader, which I didn't see at all. I still don't now and those quotes don't help. I just find it really odd to describe his play that way, especially now that this conversation has reminded me that he was one of the main people accusing and pushing rb about having more knowledge of the setup. What are you thoughts about that now that rb is confirmed town?In post 1123, Wraith wrote:In post 1120, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:@Wraith:Could you explain how you got your read on Grey? I don't remember him being a voice of reason so I'd like to know how you got that conclusion.tl;dr He's coming to conclusions based off a clearly explained, visible thought process. Also just general goodposting.
Spoiler: Quote Wall
The clarification of your read does help a bit but I'm only seeing that in the first, sixth, and ninth quote. How is the second and fifth quote good posting or coming to conclusions in a clear way? The fifth quote is just him sort of mocking Ali because he seems to be implying someone with the kind of content Ali had at the time of that post, couldn't have those reads.-

Plus it's not my duty to prove to you that I am town. It's my duty to hunt, find, and lynch scum.
My point is if you are actually trying to scumhunt then you should be posting detailed explanations for your reads with context anyways, without anyone having to ask.
I'm not saying you have to post massive walls of quotes and text. That can be done badly to the point it gets ignored (cough dreal cough).
It's the difference between
andGrey wrote: I scumread Wraith because his post finding rb scummy for apparently scumslipping multiball while also simultaneously being skeptical of this being a multiball setup. Therefore, I'm voting to lynch him.
The difference is that Grey's reasoning for scumreading me comes from a logical thought process that is clearly explained; you have decided Debi is a VI for arbitrary reasons you fail to elaborate upon and then scumread players based on that initial unexplained, arbitrary conclusion.Alisae wrote: I townread Debi for being a VI. I scumread Wraith and Ircher for pushing a lynch on a VI.
And that's just one example of fake scumhunting out of several so far already. And you're trying to paint ME as the bad guy for finding you scummy for this crap?
Adapt.
