ok, I'll give you that I probably should have linked my thoughts together. I was sort of writing my thoughts as they came and it came out confusing.
Overswarm was right: 1
When I said "because of the gambit", I meant you were voting him because you did not seem to buy his gambit(#190). For the next 24 hours, X1 doesn't post, and you don't say anything relevant .
24 hours of inactivity? Say it ain't so.
The next thing you say, of any substance, is your post # 242
This post seems kinda odd and out of no where, granted other people were discussing Gord's scumminess, but this is your first post on it in quite some time. Its lack of connectivity to your previous post of substance seems odd. You haven't previously been posting on Gordito any time recently, and then you choose to make a post about his scumminess based on his picture post, which really on its own does not make him look all that scummy.
WTF? You said it was "out of nowhere" and then IMMEDIATELY SAID WHERE IT CAME FROM. Why is scummy that I decided to comment on something people were talking about? Why is it scummy to not be focusing on one player, and then be focusing on them? By definition you have to do that to focus on
anyone. It has to start somewhere.
The reason I asked "That is what sticks out to you?" with respect to his "you got me pic" is because if your answer is "Yes", then one of two things seems likely to be the case.
A. You are fully blown ********
B. You are not really trying to post your real thoughts on the matter.
If your answer was "no", then why the **** would you post it in the first place.
Or, I'm ****ing right?
You know what happened?
Gordito does something that two separate players call him out on
Gordito blows off their questions
Gordito receives several votes
Gordito blows off more questions
Gordito asks for replacements
Posting a picture in itself isn't scummy. I've done that before. What's scummy is blowing everyone off when they have legitimate questions. This isn't even a case of Gordito simply thinking that they weren't legitimate; people piled on the votes after he brushed them off. That's confirmation that, hey, if you're town you need to start making it to where town
doesn't want to kill you. That's one of the most important things for town to do.
If you're town and make town hate you, mafia can go after you or NOT go after you and
no one can know. It's all guessing and meta.
Gordito was either town playing insanely poorly or was mafia. I've modded games he's been in as scum, and I've played in several games with him. I know him. Zen knows him. We both come to the same conclusion. Weird, no?
Turns out you are just not trying too hard to post your thoughts on the matter. You choose to post something that implies you think Gord was panicking scum, when that picture on its own doesn't really give any info at all about whether or not Gord is panicking scum or just a townie.
Yes. Yes it does.
A townie doesn't brush off legitimate claims for any reason. There are a few players that can pull that off, and they are all experienced players. Gordito continued to bring attention to himself by brushing things off very visibly, repeatedly. There's no reason to do that as town. Posting a giant picture was step one and yes, presents a panicking Gordito to me.
Now there are things he did that could pretty easily be construed as scummy, such as post #46
You actually quoted something similar from Gord in your post #156
Wait wait wait... so you're saying I called Gord out for something, then FOLLOWED IT UP with future quotes and statements in an aggressive manner, then later brought it up again while it was being discussed?
That's the definition of scum hunting, bud. I've made a giant post pertaining my thoughts up to that point to catch up in the game and to let people know where I stand. Since then I've only really commented negatively on X1 and Gord. Big whoop. It's Day 1.
It's not that I can't think for myself, its that it doesn't make sense to me for you to choose that of all things to say "hey everyone we should continue thinking about GLG/Gord being scum".
If you read more carefully, you'd see I said "hey everyone, do you think we should continue thinking about GLG/Gord being scum". I specifically asked others for responses to see what they thought about continuing to pressure Gordito's replacement. That's important to note.
To me, you choosing that post says you really weren't trying that hard to find a convincing post to imply Gord's scuminess, you just decided you'd add a meaningless comment to the "Gord was scummy" debate, and you weren't too concerned about contributing anything too meaningful.
I don't think you're actually scumhunting. I think you are scum.

Uh huh. I'm one post ahead of you, and your posts aren't exactly scum hunting.
As of yesterday you were "catching up".
you said:
Hey guys, letting you know I largely won't be able to respond in mornings until about 4 or 5 EST. Anyways I'm catching up.
you again this morning said:
Yea guys sorry, I still don't know what to make of the situation. Busy atm. I will make an effort to read everything and post something of substance tomorrow.
Following that, you have a whopping four posts of content, three of which are about me making bad reads about Gordito, who I have modded for when he was scum AND played in several games with...
and one that says, literally, that you know nothing about Gordito and are basing your imaginary meta on how you've interpreted other people's interpretations.
you said:
I know almost nothing about Gord personally. This is my first smash game. Other players have alluded to him being childish and odd. His "leaving" post also makes me think he is at least still in High school. From what I gather he is inconsistent, not good, but not new.
This is all followed by a vote on me after I lambast you for not being able to write a sentence and not knowing what the **** you're talking about.
You want a case? Build a case. Stop grasping at straws. I've had to waste my time with this TWICE now.
Raziek and FF still need to post. Adumbrodeus, don't lurk. I know you're busy, but don't lurk.
It's not that I can't think for myself, its that it doesn't make sense to me for you to choose that of all things to say "hey everyone we should continue thinking about GLG/Gord being scum".
To me, you choosing that post says you really weren't trying that hard to find a convincing post to imply Gord's scuminess, you just decided you'd add a meaningless comment to the "Gord was scummy" debate, and you weren't too concerned about contributing anything too meaningful.
I don't think you're actually scumhunting. I think you are scum.
