Seems wrong to vote for scola when he's generating so much content.
Vote: ADK
The content that he's generating is so useless though
Useless, really?
Yes, really.
But make a good scum case against anyone. Le't s find scum!
We already have one against you.
I'm not surprised you'd be on this "useless" trope - as one of my main contributions is making the case against you. With reasons, unlike this supposed case you've made against me, since you don't like to disclose your reasoning. which of course is your prerogative, but at the same time is a convenient way to obfuscate a flimsy case.
If Pasta is posting useless content, then so is everyone. The only people that have created content that can be considered "useful" thus far have been due to game mechanics. Which is completely NAI.
That's not true, a lot of people are doing or at least trying to do something useful.
Like? I will admit it is a little frustrating that somehow my discussion of mechanics is "useless" while others discussion of mechanics is "useful".
Just because you have not been trying to catch current cylon-aligned players doesn't mean no one has.
Why do you say I'm not trying to catch current scum? Of course I am. Maybe my style is different than yours, but that doesn't mean you can mischaracterize what I'm trying to do.
pasta's case for exiling ash is purely mechanical, though, which is why it's kind of scummy. None of it is based on whether or not ash is scum, it's based on the idea that ash *could* become scum at later date, maybe. I'm not interested in exiling people based on their hypothetical future conversions, and ash's behavior here screams that he's town right now
ash makes a case that getting exiled right now serves his personal wincon because it locks him in as town. Fine, why should the rest of town care? Our wincon requires us to exile scum, which you're not
Scola is scummy for pushing ash but he is at least putting a lot of effort into the game. Robz is kind of scummy for not putting in effort but I know he hates all the mechanics talk so eh. My scumread on EFHW persists from yesterday but I'd have to go back and read her stuff from today before I put my vote there
I think this last one here gets to the guts of it. It seems that Im being seen as scummy (by a few) because I'm focused on mechanics and trying to solve the game, rather than reading others and evaluating meta. What is being missed here is that I'm relatively new here - I still don't have a clear idea of anyone's meta, not that I'd necessarily be good at reading it if I could. So I focus on what I hope am good at, mechanics / "solving the game". That's where I can provide value. If it comes off as a little scummy so be it.
I actually think, however ironic as it seems, that being a little scummy makes someone more likely to be town. Actual scum has to try to be very careful with everything they do, and come of completely as town. Hence was all the lurkers keep getting more and more suspicious. Meanwhile town is just trying to solve the game and will post whatever they can to try to help that.
Which is why I'm still on Awaclus for scum - his whole explanation reads to me like trying to come off as town, and the convenience of the lower score if he had picked scum. I think I caught him on that being too much, so now there's a convenient, "well it would have helped my character arc to pick scum so that does actually balance out, oh but I didn't actually notice that until now" argument.
And if I'm wrong about Awaclus, then it's either MiX or ADK taking advantage of the one actual wagon that is being built by misguided town.
So you know what, I'll switch my vote to where my conviction is and see if it garners any support.
Vote: AwaclusDeadline is Saturday, very early for us USers, so let's try not to have a repeat of D1.
