I want to have a meaningful vote down and I don’t like how he is sticking to his flimsy case on faust.
I am definitely sticking to my flimsy case on faust which why I
(A) have repeatedly said my own case is bad
and
(B) have not voted for faust one single time
Yeah, sure, that is exactly what I'm saying. I guess your alternative strategy is "exile all contributors".It's always a bit of a bad idea to focus on active players, but it's even worse in multiball. Scum prefers shooting the active players, so there's a good chance that active scum will just be eliminated by the other team.
So this is just exile all lurkers basically?
It's been pretty cold where I am for the last month or so.
Haha
Uh... that wasn't a joke. Just having a pretty cold winter.

I think the thing with Vigs is that the decision is made with less information than it would otherwise be. They can be fine and powerful, especially late game.
Right. Funny how this conversation is all based on joth incorrectly attributing the negative utility idea to faust. Actually, scumreading faust for seeming to value the vig is striking me as scummy. Even if he had said something about vigs being negative utility in the past, it's strange to expect him to be so consistent that he would say outing the vig is fine in this game.

Note for the record, that I pointed out faust playing out of character and Joseph rushed to his defense.
Also scum has daytalk.

Judging requests? Also scummy. But I'll give you a pass this time.Giving passes, huh? Very scummy.
I am sitting in the other room while debatepro attempts refrigerator home repair to get the water dispenser working again. He has now left for what is sure to be multiple trips to the hardware store.
So, how’s your weekend going?

Well, Scum had it won as D4 progressed for sure. 1 IC double-voter. 3 scum who were the next highest town-read by most. Then 3 town who were bounced back and forth as the fall guys - me, Didds, and Galz/Jack. There was almost nothing they could have done to lose the game at that point, I'd guess.
So Didds, I was right that I was seeing the same frustration in you as I was having when people targeted me. But even so, had we all switched to Galz/Jack, we still would have lost.vote: Didds. I think with fang’s vote we probably don’t have any choice.
There was a tiny chance here, in the 3-5 minutes after gkrieg's vote, if fang had unvoted, we probably could have killed gkrieg and found our first scum. But even then, I doubt we would have gotten them all in order anyway.
As a side note, I guess I was right about not explicitly trusting people's town-reads, that none of EFHW, Swowl, or gkrieg should be considered as town. But I was totally wrong in my scum-team-call ... was it Didds, Galz/Jack, and Swowl I said, I think? That was earlier in the day, and I was much less confident of that call toward the end.
So now gkrieg, was it intentional that you "town-read" me so hard the whole game? Was it to keep me on your side? Or did it just sort of happen? Regardless, you won't be getting away with that again as scum any time again in the near future.
And Swowl... well played toward the end with all the effort and posts with VCA to look townie. I saw past it, as I have done very similarly in the past as scum. But it didn't matter, as you weren't high enough on anyone's radars to matter.
Overall, good job scum.
