I have no idea what you're talking about. What are these progressively classic strategies that scum use to defend themselves?
While normally I would say that if I said them, Scum would automatically be wary of me looking looking for them, but since I've been totally clear on my strategies from the beginning,
These are the things I'm looking for an aggravated scum to do Day 1(note, I'm particularly referring to the Day one category of this post. I'm also looking for other tells too, like players becoming enraged or commentless bandwagoneering)
But you just said you don't have a case so why should I bother going back to reread it? And I did and I still don't have a clue what you were trying to get at.
He's probably referring to the question you asked me, that I answered.
The point is you have to think whether this is something someone would do as only town, as town and scum, or as only scum. Be in their position. Don't constrain yourself to think in a limited fashion. There is more to being scum than scumtells. The key is to familiar with them.
That's the issue I'm having though, this is my first game, so I don't know anything about a scum's mindset. For all my aggressive posting, I'm still one of the biggest greenhorns in this game. I'm trying not to think linearly, but I don't know what it's like to be a scum. Research, speculation, and spectating can only tell me so much in this respect.
If you want, you can PM me more about this if you feel so inclined, as I would be very eager to hear how you scum hunt, but not here, it would be best not to use up page space with touchy-feely stuff.
You mean the question you likely posed in your head, but then realized would incriminate you further so you never posted it? Yeeeeeah... Mind posing it now, or forever hold your peace? Because there is no other question you have aimed at me.
Ah-hah, you're have me on that count. I did remove it. I would have been "How exactly would anger give scum the chance to pounce on you?" but I edited out that question when I found the hole in Major's logic.
Seeing as that was all last night, I'm not entirely sure why I prompted you to answer it either, because you did answer it. I still disagree with your answer, but you did answer it.
Heliman, list every player, in order of scumminess (in your eyes), with the scummiest at the top.
Hmmm, Scumminess?
major_sephiroth (perceived scumtell, still pursuing)
Bdthemag (Lurking with no reason, while being active elsewhere)
The King of Eggs (3 day vacation, incredibly suspicious manner of posting)
Breadbocks (seems to be coming on a little bandwagony with seph, but could easily be considered as normal scum hunting.)
Jim Groovester (still wary, but there's nothing that I could scream at.)
Supercharazard<-->Toaster<-->CrownofFire (equal level of suspicion, because you're all playing similarly so far: shorter sized posts, usually questioning an individual person and/or answering a question asked by someone else.)
The ICs would probably be higher in this list, but that would be because of my fear of their skill rather than me thinking they're scummy.
Ok, questions posed toward me look squared away, now it's time for hunting. Don't you back off just yet Seph, I'm not done with you yet.
Well. I'll say the little things first:
The last quote you have on me was supposed to get people to look at you and decide by themselves - if someone voted you for my reasons alone.
A question to the entire forum "to decide for themselves" after a good sized and very accusatory post can only be regarded as a call to form a bandwagon, don't try playing it off as something less severe, it is what it is.
I'd FoS them, at the very least.
A player Bandwagoning is always, at the very least, slightly suspicious. Because of this, anyone who jumps on a bandwagon always adds their two cents, so in all liklihood you would have FoS'd no one.
Now - it seems I misinterpreted my main evidence post here Heliman. I still think you're scum, but there's no solid case.
Onto your mindgames thing. It's easy. I mean, I got you to vote for TKoE, didn't I? And just by using the word 'turning' in your earlier post, Bread seems to betray BD by pressuring him. That's the only one I can spot at the moment.
...
PRE-POST EDIT: I feel I should elaborate on my mindgame. I thought TKoE was scum. Overreacting and whatnot - but I didn't want to vote him on that, as it'd be a blatant bandwagon. I knew I could convince someone to vote him with enough questions, and I happened to get Heli with my first one. So Heli, I wasn't as sheepish as you thought.
While I'm fully willing to asdf about your apparent mindgames later, this is still a load of scumshit. Why? You're making a serious contradiction by admitting this. Your statement just now proves that the question you asked earlier was a blatant lie made to bandwagon the most active townie.
Bread, and everyone, really. I urge you to look at his response: It's another mindgame. Would a townie have a reason to play mindgames on everyone?
If you don't know why a townie would play a mindgame, Then there is no reason that you would make one in the first place. Any proper town never lies, especially when under heat. It's one thing to play to play covertly, but it's another thing to make a total lie about how you play. Only a scum, and according to Wuba an inexperienced scum at that, would ever have any reason to lie when scum-hunting. You are that scum.
The vote stays, and anyone else willing to comment on this fiasco is welcome.
