Alright. I have 5 votes on me so I thought I'd go through them all and explain how they're unfounded and how scum is absolutely on this wagon and wants to get this lynch through. So here we go.
1)How does Andrew know the number of scum? It's not listed anywhere--I just checked? Scum slip.
vote: andrew
Ash votes me for an apparent "scumslip" which nobody else really seems to agree with, despite a few pages of discussion. Sure people think it's scummy but not a scumslip necessarily (huh?).
2)I'm totally on board with ash.
Vote: andrew
Shraeye votes for me for what I can only assume (hey look I'm assuming again, conf!scum!) are the same reasons ash are voting me for.
3)
I don't find the scum slip that compelling -- we did this same thing in innovation and it came from town, not scum -- but I DO find this response from Andrew scummy. It's too...calm?
vote:Andrew [/]
TA votes me for defending myself. I'm curious as to what about my defense is scummy and his response is this:
It just reads scummy to me. Sorry, I can't give you better than that right now, and I'm not saying you are super duper 100% scum or anything, but I get a scummy vibe from it.
Leaving me absolutely nothing to dispute. How convenient. Someone thinks my posts are scummy but can't quite articulate it besides saying they're "calm" in the original post. My "calm" posts that TA are referring to are a total of two posts. Here they are:
Scumslip? Really? I thought in big games there are three and in small games there are two. Is this incorrect?
Did I accidentally join a drunk mafia game?
Nobody bothered to answer my setup question for a few pages. This really bothers me because instead of someone (anyone?) coming in and telling me my assumption was technically wrong (despite some other people admitting to making that assumption as well... like TA), everyone decided to debate setups and theory and reading between the lines. Yes I think yuma made a lot of excellent points but I would've much rather defended myself and had people answer my questions for a discussion. As it turned out, nobody was interested in what I had to say, yet they were certainly interested in voting for me.
My second post is the beginning of my realization that ash is actually serious about this whole thing. I'm still blown away by it. Anyway, the point is these two posts apparently are "calm" and thus are scummy according to TA.
4)I agree with TA that the "scumslip" doesn't mean something but that the reaction seems scummy. To me, it sounds like too much self-awareness for town. vote: andrewFTTW
So XP thinks my reaction was scummy. Can you please elaborate on this? What do you mean by self-awareness? You agree with TA that my reactions are scummy, so does that mean you agree that my reactions are "calm" and thus scummy? Or do you agree that you can't quite put your finger on how they're scummy but they are? How am I supposed to react to fit the mold of "town"? Earlier, ash accused ADK of being scummy for "flailing". Ok let me see if I have this right. Being calm is scummy, flailing is scummy, according to Xeiron getting defensive AT ALL is scummy. So somebody please tell me how I'm supposed to respond. I'd appreciate it.
For the record, this is the same thing I was talking about in Star Wars that everyone but yuma ignored. What I pretty much said was instead of saying definitively that something is scummy, say you "think" something is scummy and give an explanation. This is to avoid situations like this, which are situations that scum wants by the way, where everyone jumps on the "scummy reactions" bandwagon. Not all calm reactions are scummy. Not all emotional reactions are scummy. Not all assumptions are scummy. And nobody bothered to compare any of this to how I played Adventure Time or Star Wars. Granted there's not much to go on and I honestly don't know how my play here compares to those games but it seems to me that if you're committed to this game then you should take advantage of all the information you have available and all the information you COULD have available before committing to a vote that could be part of a mislynch.
5)I do agree that Andrew's post about there being only three scum is scummy. I do also agree that his reaction to being called out is scummy.
Vote: Andrew[/b]
See my reaction to XP's vote above.
My scum reads on this wagon (I'm sure nobody cares) are TA and shraeye but I really don't have much to go on since shraeye hasn't posted since agreeing with ash. So...
vote: TAThank you for your time. Is this scummy enough for you guys?
