I agree with this.sooup, i'm still stickin to my initial thought about baddy just being bad
I don't think we should be distracted by Bad's play here. You say he is a solid SK choice, but why do you think he is now solid?what scummy things have I done though? Didn't you say earlier that you only voted me to get me to care about the game/pressure?
sigh, why are you making me have to rethink this... I was so confident in dh/ori scum
Respond to this.Getting to Badwolf, it's simply not the same case, because Badwolf has a different way of playing this game, through observation I've noticed that Badwolf tends to get really angry or stubborn when someone gives him chase, maybe even a bit sarcastic. Attitude was an important factor to me, but something more important was how he was responding. Remember that talk about consistencies as alignment? Badwolf has his own, but I can't simply read him the same because Badwolf has an anti-town vibe about him that's hard to pin, right now I feel he has that same vibe. It's plausible that he's town but right now I dislike him merely because his overreaction to Vinyl. and him clinging behind his role, there's a guilty conscience there and it seems a bit preserved, Badwolf can be a headache but something sticks out to me especially because it seems like a ruse to seem town. I've tried to get Badwolf to explain his actions but I don't recall (I should possibly re-read) him saying anything about it or simply shrugging it off. The only other factors are between Summoner and Ori, which have both been a bit inactive. I skimmed Summoner's post as much as I skimmed Ori's, but now that I've cleared the fog a bit I'd like everyone to talk about this possibilities of one of them being scum.
Respond to this.*ahem*
Why did you hide behind your role when Vinyl. attacked you and come to the pretense that he was rolefishing you?
Why do you consistently try to dodge every single question I present or make terrible posts like that last one you made?
Why do you try to justify your own actions with another's? You literally said "oh DH did it so it's okay for me do it."
Why haven't you read the read?
What are your current reads?
Respond to this. IN DETAIL. Okay, that's it.Wait I remembered a couple
Why do you shrug off Summoner's questions to you also? Why do you use RL as an excuse so much?
Why are you so vague in your post? You say you're looking at other people but don't explain who.
Can you re-claim so I don't have to look through the past umpteenth pages?I've already claimed.
Yes, it's meta on Vinyl. You don't know how to respond? You could ask me for references/quotes from other quotes to see what I mean. I think it would be in our best interests to know this, because it'd help us all read Vinyl right. Thing is, the reason why I don't like you keeping your options open is because, I feel like you are trying to line up mislynches without really having a reason to. And like I said I didn't find your push convincing on Badwolf. With DH, he had a town read on you that was reasonless at first, yet also very weak, just as yours on him. That's mostly it at the top of my head. I do remember you both being on different pushes so I can see that as buddies doing their own thing to not get caught together, and I can see your arguing over Macman scum or not as distancing. Not that I find it condemning, just that it seems more plausible to me.This instinctively sounds like meta to me, and I don't even know how to respond to it. How I should be reading a player? I should be town-reading them? Keeping my options open? Regardless of alignment I keep my options open, I have reasoning behind my pushes and I have priority, I don't know why this is a sudden alarming thing for you or why you're bothered it. More or less i'm bothered by the fact that you are literally expecting me to read people a certain way, yet not even considering why I'm reading them that way. I don't understand why you're so bothering about this referring to DH, you're kind of reaching with this aspect and you've yet to explain specifically why me and DH make sense. You've hinted at it, stated your reasoning, but there's nothing solid. What do you think about the other side, DH? You've covered my aspect, but you've never pointed out where DH plays into this, you scum-read DH more and even made a whole case on him, but then you string me together with him just because how i'm reading him. This is the basis of your points, how i'm reading someone. Wrt Badwolf, you realize that I had one mere reaction that I liked that was cancelled out for the sake that Badwolf did something that was scummy, right? I pointed it out and i'm allowed to change my opinion as I see fit, I sitll honestly don't buy anything from that slot and am patiently awaiting to hear what he has to say. Ranmaru, why are you ignoring specifics? You claim to have me and DH as scum yet you're ignoring me when I ask why Ori factors into this, your reasoning is worse simply because you are putting aside what you said earlier in order to pursue something that is gaining interest, and that's something i reallly dislike from you. Not trying hard enough to find scum? I can't response to this simply because I don't need to appeal to your needs regarding this, your vague opinion on me not finding scum because of how I read DH is a load of crap and only mixes in the vibe i get from you lately.
I have already explained how my reads change on Ori-TOWN, so upon Soup-town I would have Dh/Ori scum and Summoner Sk.Ranmaru let's talk hypothetical
What happens when one of us flips town? Still partnered? Still scum?
Yo Darkhorse. Why did you move your vote?You know what?
Unvote, Vote: Badwolf
OK, so if I did shrug off any questions before this, ask them now cause I don't remember any of them.Getting to Badwolf, it's simply not the same case, because Badwolf has a different way of playing this game, through observation I've noticed that Badwolf tends to get really angry or stubborn when someone gives him chase, maybe even a bit sarcastic. Attitude was an important factor to me, but something more important was how he was responding. Remember that talk about consistencies as alignment?

1. When he had asked me about it I had already stated that the reason I was OK with buddying in 19 was because I was scum. I was then in between a rock and a hard place with the question because of the two possible outcomes.*ahem*
Why did you hide behind your role when Vinyl. attacked you and come to the pretense that he was rolefishing you?
Why do you consistently try to dodge every single question I present or make terrible posts like that last one you made?
Why do you try to justify your own actions with another's? You literally said "oh DH did it so it's okay for me do it."
Why haven't you read the read?
What are your current reads?
1. Again, I don't mean to shrug off questions. If you still would like them answered just ask me again.Wait I remembered a couple
Why do you shrug off Summoner's questions to you also? Why do you use RL as an excuse so much?
Why are you so vague in your post? You say you're looking at other people but don't explain who.
I was ready for a lynch. At the time I saw responses to badwolf's "you guys are all idiots" and badwolf's responses to those go nowhere and felt as though they were just a waste of time.Yo Darkhorse. Why did you move your vote?
Thank you.I'm kind of tired. I'll respond to everything when I get done with my nap. That was a lot better btw.
...did you even read the posts I quoted? I'm requoting them because this is important. I will bold the parts which completely contradict what you just said. (At least the picture you posted this time wasn't obnoxious.)Bolded: It never went from shaky to scum, I was just putting a vote down. I don't see why I shouldn't have done that.
Ehhhhhhhh, I had a shaky read on him, based upon some odd behaviour. But for now sure. It's not like I'm using it elsewhere.
Because I have a scum read on you.....
you CLEARLY go from shaky to scum here. What's up with that, huh?[/QUOTE](when asked why he unvoted)You actually started caring.
Sorry...starting to feel like a broken record but whatever
I don't follow, you claimed that he was trying to out your town role to say that you were town? That's what I get from it.Badwolf said:1.) I'm claiming and I think that by claiming I'm secured as town.
or 2.) I'm using Vinyl as a scapegoat to not claim.
But it is, or was. I believe you were being earnest about not knowing the setup but my main concern was with your clinging to your role, answer the two questions I put up in response and we'll be getting somewhere.So in response to 1:
I'm slightly confused at it if you mean this one. I hadn't claimed yet and I was a little suspicious at Vinyl for asking me about my stance on buddying as opposed to the game that I was scum in, but I didn't change any reads on him because of it. I can understand where you're coming from in my reaction from this, but I still don't believe that it should be a major component in the case against me.
This is fair.Response to 2:
I think this is the more likely of the 2. I can see where you would come to this conclusion, but I don't think it should matter anyway because of my claim. I did eventually claim, granted VT, but still. But like I had said in Response 1. I never did change my reads on anyone because of this incident nor will I in the future. I don't see the reason behind bringing it up in a long term case because it was only like 5 posts long.
So you acted that way as a means of reaction testing Vinyl. in a sense? What did you get out of it? You state your reads didn't change. (How i'm interpreting this paragraph)1. When he had asked me about it I had already stated that the reason I was OK with buddying in 19 was because I was scum. I was then in between a rock and a hard place with the question because of the two possible outcomes.
You shouldn't get scared about these things when you're town, gain some confidence in yourself damnit.a.) I say that I'm alright with buddying and get my *** handed to me because of the read that I had on Mac.
b.) I say that I don't like it and sound like scum for trying to counter my previous meta.
I felt the only way out of it was to cut my own path and I arrived at a rather unexpected place.
That question didn't have a specific answer, it was to garner a reaction. Consider it completely rhetorical in a sense, I was just looking as how you responded.2. I don't try and dodge them, I try and answer them. However if you aren't getting what you wanted out of the question I would suggest asking a parallel one to clear up confusion. I really don't mean to not give you what you need when asking me something.
Thank you for the clarification, why the hell didn't you do this in the first place? You coulda saved yourself so much trouble if you just responded this way.3. Ehhhh, this I kinda disagree with. I had pressure voted Mac before that post even came out (I believe). I used it only because I have a very convoluted way of explaining things and sometimes people don't really understand what I mean. So instead of trying to explain the idea that I had behind the vote I used DH's reason for me.
Refer to the rhetorical statement.4. I'm sorry can you explain?
Yes that would be great.3. I've already answered this in my reads, unless you want me to go into further detail.
It's meta on Vinyl.? That was regarding me, not Vinyl. There's something wrong with keeping my options open? I might have priority but that doesn't mean I'm gonna pretend to be blind about things, I don't understand how this is an issue unless you specifically state why. So you think our weak reasoning makes us aligned and it's shallow distancing? Your statement is fair but it's only one small observation, give me an update?Yes, it's meta on Vinyl. You don't know how to respond? You could ask me for references/quotes from other quotes to see what I mean. I think it would be in our best interests to know this, because it'd help us all read Vinyl right. Thing is, the reason why I don't like you keeping your options open is because, I feel like you are trying to line up mislynches without really having a reason to. And like I said I didn't find your push convincing on Badwolf. With DH, he had a town read on you that was reasonless at first, yet also very weak, just as yours on him.

I do remember you both being on different pushes so I can see that as buddies doing their own thing to not get caught together, and I can see your arguing over Macman scum or not as distancing. Not that I find it condemning, just that it seems more plausible to me.
Bold, I am not ignoring specifics. If you think I did quote it to me bro. And underlined, this is not true at all. I have explained Ori comes off as scummy, and he may be paired with DH if he flips mafiat-scum. You said "I might hammer Ori" yet you haven't addressed him at all. I want to know, who do you think are scum pairs/sk upon: Ori Scum, Ori SK, Ori Town? How are you feeling about Ori now? Actually, I'd rather you answer that by replacing Ori with Badwolf, so I can see what you see (I still want your current opinion on Ori) I don't know for SURE who he [Ori] is paired with, but I showed you how that would change my reads depending on which flip he would flip, so I don't see how I'm ignoring how Ori fits in. Maybe you just don't see my pov? I'm sorry if you don't. I'm showing it to you dude.
I don't think you understood exactly what I was saying with the 2 responces. I was trying to guess at what you were asking and had devised two different responces, one for each scenario. I wasnt sure what you had been asking.Okay, responding time.
I don't follow, you claimed that he was trying to out your town role to say that you were town? That's what I get from it.
You're using Vinyl. as a scapegoat so you didn't have to claim? Why? Why did you get so jumpy about it in the first place?
But it is, or was. I believe you were being earnest about not knowing the setup but my main concern was with your clinging to your role, answer the two questions I put up in response and we'll be getting somewhere.
This is fair.
So you acted that way as a means of reaction testing Vinyl. in a sense? What did you get out of it? You state your reads didn't change. (How i'm interpreting this paragraph)

Thank you for the clarification, why the hell didn't you do this in the first place? You coulda saved yourself so much trouble if you just responded this way.
Refer to the rhetorical statement.
Yes that would be great.
Ok, it sounds... Different. Yeah, I kinda did this. I dont like claiming until D3 at least and I was trying to put it off for as long as I could.You used an argument saying that you were town and vinyl. was trying to out your town role, thus clinging to it.
I waited like 400 posts for this, uuuuuugh.Sorry...
Yeah, I screwed up. When I had said that I had a scum read on him, I had only meant a null-scum. However, at the moment of, he was my strongest scum read.
DH’s postsI would like for you to address DH's posts and my case when you get the time to though. I know you try to observer but I want you to at least address those, the ones including Soup as well. Sorry to see that your post got eaten.
Also what is your opinion on Vinyl?
Mac you are town, DH should be kept on Radar.so doees that make you think i'm scum? town?
also who should be kept under the radar, me or dh?
The post you quoted was from my initial reads list. At the beginning I didn't see why people were putting him on blast but as the thread progressed I clearly saw why people were doing so.Ori, could you elaborate why you had Badwolf as null here and not full scum? You seem convinced recently but I'm not seeing what was holding you back.
response is below this next quote.**** it, i'm just gonna go ahead and say it, this post reeks of ori scum with dh.
he says he doesn't see much scum play in DH, yet he says we should focus on DH tomorrow? wtf why would you want to focus on him tmrw if you don't see him as scum?
Your reason for not thinking dh scum is because none of his posts seem tunneled? uh ok... yet you say you think it seemed like i'm tunneling DH in my posts. So it would seem if anything, you would lean scum on me. Yet dark horse is the person who we should look at tomorrow? huh? that doesn't make sense. To reiterate, if tunneling is scummy and you think i was tunneling on DH, but you DON'T think DH was tunneling on me than why do you think we should focus on DH tomorrow instead of someone like me?
(ofc this is ignoring the flawed concept of tunneling being scummy)
also wtf at your reasons for thinking baddy is scum? how is any of that indicative of scum play. Being childish and getting angry? oh wow super scum bro.
Looking at what Macman said, he argued how my views on DH's tunneling contradicted my views on tunneling being scummy. Yes, Macman did tunnel but I didn't view the way he was tunneling as scum like. The way DH approached his tunneling made me unsure, thus why I have some suspicion of him. Its not enough to say "this guy is scum srs bizness" but its enough to have a hunch and want to seriously look into him the next day. Its not a full scum read its basically null-scum. Also sure my reasonings I gave on BW are not sufficient, but I am confident enough to want him gone today.8
Macman's #313 is pretty amazing. It does indeed reek and Ori is pretty scummy right now and brings up exactly what I thought about Ori saying to look at DH tomorrow instead of Macman. I don't agree with macman's read of noobtown badwolf though.
Actually Macman's posts (#338) on Ori/DH scumteam make a lot of sense and I agree with the conclusion he's reached and I really like the line of questioning he had leading up to that post. I think that Ori/DH scumteam with Badwolf SK is very likely at this point and I think Macman has hardbodied some scummies here. I will re-inforce my previous Badwolf statement in that I think he is the way to go today since I now think he's the SK.
Yes, Macman did tunnel but I didn't view the way he was tunneling as scum like. The way DH approached his tunneling made me unsure, thus why I have some suspicion of him.
I don't believe DH is showing much scum play. He stated that a lot of his votes were in fact purely pressure based. I see that when looking at his stuff. None of his posts show that he is tunneling at people trying to make them slip up and post something poor. I think Macman was trying to tunnel DH but that is my view. I think he should definitely be kept under the radar though.
Other than BW DH should be looked at tomorrow.
