TolyK, you are an incredibly passive scumbag. You do not give any relevant information, which means you're only trying to look like you're active. An example:
Orangebottle: Wow, he's doing very well for his second game (right?)! He got wound up in this firefight with Nuke, had some slips but otherwise good.
Dr. Plutonium (a.k.a. Nuke): Aggressive, but trying to declare Orange's scummitude and his innocence. Not sure if that's good or bad, but... eh.
You: Hey, look at me make comments and then proceed to tell you what they mean! then proceed to take no side in this argument!
And if I thought that the Orange/Nuke argument would go nowhere?
Then you were still a passive observer. What part of that do you not understand? You obviously went through the trouble of COMMENTING on the argument, but you didn't bother to say, "I think you're both town, so stop arguing"? All that gives me is that you either don't want to stand out or don't want to end the argument, both of which actually make you scummier than doing either!
You are partially buddying up to Orangebottle here by saying how great he's doing, but then mention that he's had some slips. You don't say anything about what the slips were, if any, but for some reason, it's all good for Orangebottle. Why is that? What are these slips? Why is he good?
He gave the impression of someone who knew what he was doing. Yeh, i know, gut feeling is not good in mafia :/
Errr, what? When have I EVER said gut feeling isn't good in mafia? Gut feeling doesn't give evidence, but you can use it.
But, beside that point, you have NO IDEA what a gut feeling is supposed to be! You're not giving me if you think they're town! You're giving me if you think they're good at mafia! That's being passive, AGAIN! You just simply REFUSE to take a side again. I could care less WHAT you thought they were than if you ACTUALLY GAVE WHAT YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE.
On NUKE, I honestly can't tell if you're distancing yourself or buddying with him, because you're calling him Dr. Plutonium. You then proceed to give a very detailed account of NUKE's argument as "trying to declare Orange [as scum]." I was so moved by your description. Oh, and the part where you couldn't tell if NUKE was doing good or bad? You surely create an air of suspense!
I still have a mixed opinion of him. He seems (semi-) actively hunting, but too aggressive and incoherent.
Then you are still being passive. Congratulations. I'll note that you're hardly doing anything to figure out if he is scum or not.
Several situations:
(note: [s ]=scum, [t]=town)
1. Orange[s ] Nuke [t] - possible, but unlikely IMO. means Orange is good at not slipping, while Nuke finds something suspicious and tries to pound his way in.
2. Orange [t] Nuke [s ] - possible. means Orange has nothing to fear and is doing his best, while Nuke is trying to force the tables around.
3. Orange [s ] Nuke [s ] - unlikely IMO, unless possibly Nuke is coordinating this fiasco through scumchat. Risky, but with the current events would make the other neigh invincible if one was lynched.
4. Orange [t] Nuke [t] - quite likely IMO. Two townies flamefighting, while scum is just waiting, or fueling the fight (who can fill the fueling role: Mr. Person, Dariush, Max White (to an extent).)
If 1 is right, then I have the impression Orange is getting help from an experienced player.
If 2 is right, I dunno about the situation.
If 3 is right, then... wow.
If 4 is right above, then most of us should be looking for the scum.
You: Here is my list that I put no actual thinking into. If you notice, I actually have no opinions! It means I couldn't care less about scumhunting!
Seriously, you just listed the 4 possibilities for EVERY SINGLE PAIR OF PLAYERS, and then proceeded to give no opinion on who you thought was scum or town. No, "probably" doesn't count. Everyone is "possibly" town. Everyone "might be" scum. That's the most passive answer ever.
hey, one second. I don't like to give exact answers (because i don't know them ) but here:
4. Orange [t] Nuke [t] - quite likely IMO.
I show that 'It seems like a town-town flamewar that won't lead us anywhere.'
Oh, you're right! How blind I was! Clearly, since we cannot KNOW things, we should never say what they are and should instead say what the MIGHT BE!
Again, you're not giving a straightfoward answer! You're not taking a side! I could care less if you were completely wrong about both! And if you feel like you have too little information, than FIND SOME MORE INFORMATION! Why on Earth would you make a post about an argument that includes no relevant conclusions, details, or deductions?!? You're basically active-lurking!
Nobody KNOWS anything, but at least act like you have a spine. I don't KNOW if I'm going to die today, but I know I'm not going to die today because I'm not this pathetic baby that cares if something goes wrong. If I'm wrong, then oh well, try again next time? Seriously, stop giving me an excuse not to do anything.
You've now irked my ire to inspire an indication of inappropriate inactivity. I shall now spend all of my time making sure you get lynched. Do you understand what you're doing wrong yet?
You literally give nothing relevant. You don't say who you think is scum or town out of the pair. You're just letting other people read your restating of the obvious for you, so they can come up with an answer.
Oh, and I lol'd at your "If #4 is right" because it's exactly what you're not doing. Unless you meant yourself in the minority.
I meant myself in the majority; that is, the town side. I'm not as good a scumhunter as some people here, I'm still looking for a post that is off tone.
THEN DO SOMETHING!!!So, in this section, I conclude that we should be looking for the other scum

har har har. i was making an observation, that was unrelated to the above.
Is that so? Well, it's funny since you're, you know, not engaging them into the game. If you wanted them to post, then give them something to post about. Be like:
Think0028: Do you have any immediate plans to post in the future?
Billybobfred: Do you think TolyK is scum?
Darvi: Who let you into this game?
Because your current way of doing it is doing nothing.
Your conclusion is supported by...
What? You didn't "conclude" anything! You just said we should scumhunt. But, you didn't scumhunt at all! You didn't attempt to determine who was scum or town from the argument. You didn't interpret the data in a way that would give you a feeling one way or another.
Excuse me? I almost put "I think these are probably town, so lets go somewhere else." but that
a) wasn't exactly what i meant
b) would be waay too straightforward.
You CERTAINLY didn't give any opinion on who you thought was scum.
I didn't. I currently don't see any blatant scumming (other than Nuke, but folks have that handled...)
Bolded and underlined the issue. I want you to figure out why it's wrong. Because, it's SOOO INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS that I'm just wondering if your IQ is high enough to type words. Syntax might be a bit above you right now, but we'll work on it.
There is NO possible way that you would do this as town and think it was acceptable. If you can explain how it was acceptable, you lose a vote. But, no, there is no good reason.
I'm not scared of a vote, but your vote could have a better use. Anyways, I know that I don't scumhunt well, and so this style was my thinking "show to public". If you think it's "obvious"
I believe you forgot to finish this sentence, but I'll continue anyhow.
My vote is on you because you're being passive piece of useless garbage. Imagine all I posted was the vote count and then listed all the possible alignments of each vote. Tell me how that helps. Because that is the exact situation you're doing. You're giving me information I already know or that I could find fairly easily. You're NOT:
Interpreting the data into something useful.
Showing that the data leads to a certain conclusion.
Bringing up hard to see data.
Attempting to determine how the data should be interpreted.
Sharing why this information is important.
And much, much more!
C'est ne pas. You found (in your eyes) potential scum. You are also much more experienced, so hunting is easier for you than others.
If you want my suspicions, then. Nuke, and to a small extent Max White (guts.)
About policy voting: I see your reasoning now. It's incorrect, but logical.
Do you know why hunting is easier for me than you?
BECAUSE I'M TRYING.I'm not whoring out information that's already available. I'm interpreting it. I'm doing everything I told you you're not doing, you stupid moron.
