quote.people wonder why i say deitz is town.
then he does all this
what gives u the idea that im playing both sides? i've been gungho for Dabuz' lynch since the beginning. i've been fine with Soup as a substitute.@Omni: I feel like you're trying to play all the sides of the lynch fields right now. Can I get a synopsis of reads from you? Especially on Dabuz, Soup, and Gheb. (also if you could explain why you're ok with Kary right now that would be greatly appreciated as well)
that sucksOmni. Your words speak to me. I want this day to end as much as you do. I hate every minute of this and blew off responding to watch the World Series.
It's the intention. I've elaborated a bit on why I felt Dabuz was scummy for it with response to Omni but even the dumbest town wants to try and scumhunt. There's just no effort by Dabuz in him. There's no incentive, he doesn't follow up on his own reads, he doesn't follow up on his own procedures, and he doesn't even follow the thread. The factor lies with comparison. I'm not going to say Dabuz is the best town in the world either but clearly Dabuz doesn't care either way what happens. That's where the scum lies. Scum doesn't care about walls, arguments, logical explanations, or even reads. They'll bull**** as hard as they have to and right in your face. It just depends if you pick up on it. I don't understand why you added Omni to your scum-list so suddenly. I didn't understand your logic and you didn't leave an explanation behind it. I'd like you to elaborate if he's still on that list and why he appeared there in the first place.Doing nothing is a problem, yes. But it isn't a scum-tell. It's something that should be addressed (I think we've all made that pretty clear that it will/should be), but you can't point to it and say "Look! Dabuz only made a few posts, he must for sure be scum!" and expect to have that taken seriously and not scrutinized for reads. I have been keeping with thread, and every time you tell me I'm lying I suspect it is in fact you who is lying. (I'd still like to hear what you thought my lie was this recent time. You didn't answer when Death Bear asked before, because the "lie" you talk about soon here is me having Omni on my scum list and Jerkus rips that to shreds)
Yeah, I was doing pretty ****y early on but bygones be bygones. I know the instance has got you wondering why but can you really condemn me for just poor play? It caught my eye after it was shown to me, and I just find myself almost shocked I missed it. I've covered this reasoning before and I still need to respond to Kary as he finally did. I blew him off because at that time I had waste 2 straight hours of just responding to things and making rebuttals of my own. I want you to still tell me why you felt it made sense with Kary or if that was just a feeling you had about him. What do you think of Omni as of late?Kary I've explained. You I think are scum with Kary, as you've been simultaneously attacking him for bussing and chainsawing me for him. Your inteactions are way too strange to be a coincidence, your Dabuz push took far too long to substantiate, and I get the feeling you're more interested in ending the day and putting out sarcastic hashtag comments than discussing (though you've been doing better since the time of this post). No Hetero I suspected for his Dabuz push and buddying of Kary and Omni (iirc). I've put that one on hold for awhile. Omni just feels malevolant and more interested in ending the day fast and arguing with Gheb than doing meaningful work. He's also on hold. All of these concerns are current to at least a significant degree.
Understand my disposition and why I am flailing at first and look at this post. It's a mini case on Dabuz so far and my thought process behind him. That's all that's really needs to be said as you handled this response really well. Would you go Dabuz after reading that? Do you agree Dabuz/Kary is a team that could make sense? I'm not going to quote your last response as it's covered basically in this response. Really liking JDietz' response to me. Digging the case on Kary also.I disagree, and you haven't done anything to show me that Dabuz is a factor to be legitimately concerned with. The burden of proof is on the accuser, and you (as well others) haven't done the footwork. I can't show you the nothing, you have to show me the something to disprove the nothing. I resent being compared to deer in headlights when you're the one making flails at this point.
Because I was pissed and frustrated to no ends with this game. BSP had been hinting dislike to me for one and really I just felt like we had money with Dabuz. I didn't feel the need to drag this **** out into 1000 posts, I'm sure you don't either and nobody likes a game on D1 with 1000 posts. This is not enjoyable in the slightest but you work with the **** you have and get it done. I got aggro as hell because of the same but just because I get aggro doesn't mean that I don't mean what I say regarding anything. I get pissed, I get frustrated, I mash madly on my keyboard with a look of absolute hatred in every single character I type in. That doesn't mean what I'm saying isn't different from what I would say if I wasn't angry about it. If anything, me being pissed about it should let you know I'm not ****ing around anymore. I thought that would help you understand why I acted the way I did, and possibly will still do.I want to take a moment to ask you something:
Why are you so intent on toDay ending Soup? Between comments like this and your sarcastic "#HBC 2012 #Dabuz not dead ****ty game" comments you really seem to just want this over with. Why? Ending the day early is generally anti-town, and I could buy it being your feelings except for now you've made this big show of coming back into the game when no one died.
What was that about?
Dabuz, but your Kary case is great and on top of my reasoning as far as I car either one can flip scum just as likely as the other. I'm feeling partners between them and starting to think you're not apart of the equation. The amount of effort and time you put into that case was great and the fact you stayed calm with me after you realized I was just absolutely furious with you is just even more to add as to why you're not on the equation. I want you to give me a hypothetical and tell me who you think Kary's partner is (besides me because I'm not!!!) and who you're going for. I also would like to know if Dabuz is lynched and flips scum, would your stance on Kary be stronger or weaker?Also, do you still want Dabuz over Kary? Which one would you be more confident in flipping scum? (and do you still hold to the theory that me Dabuz and Kary are a scum-peanut butter sandwich)
You didn't post anything up until then and you were just being so goddamn lazy about things. You didn't show up until I got hard on you and boy you really just set off like a fuse about ti much like I did. The difference is that I felt you were being negligent to Dabuz and ignoring him completely. Your reasoning is sound and you don't think pushing a null is the right idea. Your logic is not something I can have a problem with. You've explained yourself.Ok that's accurate, then what was your problem previously when you said I wasn't looking into my scum reads.
Indifferent. I'll get around to it if I'm left in a position where he's not already night killed or it's getting close to mylo/lylo. I don't take time to read slots like that as I feel I have my read on marshy pretty solid. I'm okay with him buddying me as long as he's with my cause. Considering his hydra, I might not let him get too close however.In that case, how do you feel about the possibility that Marshy is buddying you?
Iirc, isn't he your biggest scum read (to that point)? I still don't understand this flip.dude, don't shoot Soup over Dabuz. that's silly
Here is my quote in regard to that:Hando said he felt I was scum because I edited a quote. He said it was a "tool of deception", even though I stated "the quote is edited" in the same post that the edited quote was in.
He REALLY didn't push me on it though and admitted later it was reaching, but I feel like it was an attempt to set me up for problems later. I also don't get how he could have felt I was scum based on that post...like, it was pretty silly if he's Town.
I never did say you were scum. It fact, I called you town (although, yes, scummier, but not scum level). It does make me a bit queasy when I think about the possibilities it can open up, especially when half of us are too lazy to go back and look at the original quote and compare. I wanted to raise a flag so everyone would be aware in the future. I don't see how that's scummy or anti town at all.I'm not sure how I feel about bardull at the moment. The edited quotes bothers me a lot actually. It isn't very conventional and feels like he uses it to hide things or subtly change his opinion without having to recant things outright. The changes haven't been too bad though, so I can't call it outright scummy as of yet.
That said, I think bardull vs Kary is TvT. I don't think either are scum, but I'd say bardull is scummier of the two. Kary is being his normal nonchalant self and I can see where he's coming from.
Thank you.okay so yeah this is EE puttin' in a rare appearance here. Didn't talk to Other Half yesterday because I was too busy learning things and getting drunk (not even in that order... simultaneously...)
"EE I thought you were hiding in a QT because you suck and your butt smells and you like to kiss your own butt?"
Well I do but that assumes a certain amount of Ryker pullin' his damn weight, and things diverted off the Hando path so quickly. Not exactly surprising, though, considering Ryker did a pantspoopingly bad job of trying to sway people
So I'm going to ignore all the F***fest of the last page and a half or so and just break down dat read
While Hando is in fact a lurkito that has been fed a hundred rare candies to evolve, that's par for the nulls for what I was expecting. What I remember about playing with Hando in the Old Days, though, and what I was wary of coming into this game now that he's older and wiser (both internet-wise and IRL), is that he's got a hell of a poker face.
In both games I played and hosted Handoscum could just do such outrageously, bold-facedly scummy things and poker face it so hard you would seriously question yourself on whether you can call it or not. Even as a ****in' activated innocent child. He's just... white noise. And this is back when he wasn't very good at it. Now that it's been a few years I've been expecting more competence from him and I think his play has lined up with that. Couple it with the Poker Face and it's an ugly read
Look, man. Can't we all get along? We all have rough times and we say things we don't really mean. I was tired, I was vulnerable. I was looking to you two, as fellow Old Timers, to know me and love me for who I am. Total No Hetero. It cut me to the core and for a moment, I forgot who I was and ripped my mask off my face. I wanted to believe you were town, I gave you the benefit of doubt. That's why I snapped the way I did. But I assure you it's not because I know you're alignment, I just believed it to be so. My inner town cried out past the #1 Rule, "I AM INNOCENT!" And I assure you I'm reading the rest of the town with scrutiny except the past few pages. I'll scrutinize those more later.Still with me? I'm almost done.
So Ryker and I were talking through the roster and Hando had a lot of... well, as Ryker put it, "this is bad, and this is bad, and this isn't too bad but when you look at it this way..." The things ryker brought to the table for me to munch on weren't conclusive, but they at least weren't out of line with Scumdorin. So when Ryker finally started making his presence known I suggested that no matter what we end up pushing we just kind of keep our **** list out there and see who starts wiggling on the hook.
and... it was Hando.
We just can't get past this. Our **** list was so on the periphery I just have a hard time seeing someone getting that bent out of shape about it. Sure, I of all people know what it's like when people take sideswipes at your credibility for no damn reason, but this felt different. Hando didn't get bent out of shape about the whys of our suspicions, just the fact that we had any at all. That's getting out of a reasonable reaction and into, though not OMGUS, the root emotions that cause it.
And the reaction, jegus freaking gorf. he specifically counters his place on the **** list with a swipe at credibility. Why the hell couldn't this slot read him? Both halves have been around the block a good twenty or so times AND played with Hando. I just can't freaking look past this. We put our **** list out there, it's niggling at Hando from the periphery, and he just ****ing snaps like that, and tries to suggest that a Ryker/EE hydra -- of all ****ing players -- can't read him.
I can't make sense of that from Towndorin. He doesn't seem to find us suspicious nor try to assuage our doubts. Just snaps. The whole way he reacts falls in line better with someone that already knows our alignment (because he's scum) than a townie on the **** list of someone else trying to figure out why they were placed on it and what the other person's motives are.
So let me sum Hando up in the words of the Angry Video Game Nerd:
"And THIS ****in' thing
And this ****in' thing.
And THIS ****in' thing!
And this ****in thing!
AND THIS ****in' thing!
...I don't like it."
Not much of a scum read though. More like they can't read my poker face and I haven't been cranking out fantastic posts that take stances on D1. Ok, I guess that's scummy enough if you want it to. Moving along now. Still have a few pages to go...pretty sure that was an icing to the cake to solidify their scumread, gheb.
your scumhunting seems really lacklucster toDay, too.
I hope my recently posted response was able to appease you. I am deeply sorry that I'm V/LA due to (*shock*) being on vacation, then coming back and cramming some homework in, coupled with work. =D I'll do better in the future.I can go back and point out his previous posts where he doesn't do **** but appease people. I can point out how he has stayed consistently V/LA and never addressed his ****ty reaction that was the final straw.
I do have more to offer than that, it just doesn't line up with your Omni/NH. I also would love to see Ditz gone and wouldn't hate losing Soup, Dabuz, or Bardull.
You say he's a good pick, but when do you get to him, Gheb?
*insert ttgl brofist pic*EE (or Ryker, you can take this if it suits you), the intensity of your read on Hando feels like overkill now that I've reread Hando. By like 1000%, man.
This seems to be the post that really set you off, and it's kind of nothing.
Prior to this, you(r slot) seemed to just be on him because he was being noncomittal and lurky (which is null for Hando, and your 1259 actually admits this). Then Hando responds to some of your criticisms against him with a pretty basic "you should know better" post, and that's it.
However, this isn't really what I want to get to. Let's talk about this:
I kept a big chunk for context, but the bottom half is the most important. I want to bring attention to this, because it looks like mischaracterization on a reread. Hando didn't freak out because you dangled his name in a scumreads list a few times. The real catalyst was NH questioning your Hando stance, and you justifying it with what could very well be nulltells considering Hando's meta. To that, Hando responded with the "you should know better" line. Which I think is kind of accurate, even if it doesn't make his play not ****ty.
But this next part is more important, I think.
That's actually not true. It's the opposite. Let's take a look at the way Hando "snaps" again:
First, that's the whole thing. Hardly a "snap."
Second, and more importantly, while I will admit the grammar is a bit questionable here, Hando's not saying "you can't read me, so don't try." He's saying "that's not a scumtell for me, and you should know that because you should be able to read me." In your 1259, you actually say Hando's response is almost the opposite of what it actually is.
Part of me wants to chalk this up to a misunderstanding, but at least one half of your slot seemed to understand it perfectly fine:
Ryker posted that immediately after Hando's "snap." He at least seemed to understand what Hando was saying; his argument then became "if this slot can't read you (tacitly admitting it can't), then you deserve to die because you're a liability." Where as your argument now (presented in 1259, the EE Zinger), is "I can read you, and you're scum for suggesting I can't." It was your slot that first suggested that it can't read Hando.
Granted, these posts are from two different heads, but you two seem to be conversing quite a bit. That you guys could apparently come to the exact same read on Hando, based on polar opposite understandings of the main post he made that triggers your alarms on him, apparently without even realizing it, is unnerving to say the least.
I dunno, man. Kinda seems like your blowin' smoke, to me.
