I have suspected the cosmos itself for having the gall to be so incomprehensible as to render human significance impossible. There can be nothing more scummy.speedchuck wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 11:52 am I'm not reading the thread. Has JJJ or Nutella suspected anyone besides Dunya?

Would you teach me? Would you show me the way?
I've heard that one before. And then the days slip into months, months slip into years, I finally look up from my desk, and I missed my dang chemistry final.

The point is that most of the time scum doesn't really care about getting A or B lynched. In fact, that is probably counter-productive since it's better if the civs take the blame for civ lynches.colonialbob wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 11:36 amBut "looking like I'm being productive" is a valid answer to "what was scum trying to accomplish"Dragon D.

See: Dunya trying to switch the lynch from Kyle to Nova in Greece.Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 11:07 am Why people always ask "what would scum X try to accomplish by doing Y?" Scum doesn't try to accomplish anything most of the time, they just try to look like they are trying to get things done.
It was all smoke and mirrors. I did it while planning to switch to Pennywise later on. The point wasn't to get Marmot lynched, it was to make people think I had a point in the first place.
I mean, the whole game is "what is X trying to accomplish by Y"

3. scum nutella also has a tendency to not harp on one person and have no definite reads on them. civ nutella is organically paranoid, with a healthy dose of tinfoil. scum nutella tries to find posts that wouldn't be deemed scummy if she looks into them and also scum reads them. she doesn't build cases of her own accord on someone with no suspicion. she would love to see a high poster like me, Jay or Sloonei or Golden (if he's not on her team), to get lynched early on. see above. she also adds little quips like "yo" "ayy" and similar when she is scum and trying to downplay something.

any case or suspicion anyone makes is what they think. i literally said "I think nutella's bad and here's why". so calm down, yea?nutella wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 12:10 pmdunya wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 11:42 ami'm sorry you don't like my suspicions, but these are my opinions, and you can build your own cases and form your own opinions. everyone's entitled to that, just like jay sees a correlation between me TMIing in FE and Ancient Greece and here. i'm not trying to be toxic, but i do suspect you a healthy amount. this is just a game.nutella wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 11:36 amplease, stop doing this. stop making shit up about me and saying it like you know me better than i know myself. your tone in this game is fucking toxic. please stop. none of these generalizations are reliably true.

Then don't state your bullshit opinions as if they are facts.
It was somewhere around this exchange:JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 11:50 am nutella, there was a moment when you were feeling better about dunya and worse about me. Whether that remains true or not, could you describe what you saw at the time which gave you that impression?
at which time I thought she sounded genuine/confident enough in her innocence that I believed her and your suspicion sounded a little forced. But then later there was that hot take of yours about her that I strongly resonated with and I went back to feeling worse about her and better bout you. Again, still subject to change.dunya wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 4:07 pm the thing is, I know what Jay is seeing, and I see the similarities between here now and my day 0 in FE, but he's wrong. because I do that in both alignments and I didn't do it for example in Ancient Greece... I am homebound and had a lot of time today. I'm excited to be civ again after three scum roles.
Golden is scum so I don't care what he agrees with. he's digging that hole deeper though.
and at least I caught the opportunistic scumella from this too so that's ok too.
jay will come around. or he'll have an egg on his face. i'm ok with both end scenarios.

Are you in possession of my coveted other boob
golden thinks i'm scum. i'm telling him to scum hunt some more because the game doesn't end when i'm lynched, there's many more to look for.
Well either my right boob or a person holding the boob. I obviously cannot quote role pms but basically the way it is worded is ambiguous as to whether it's an item or role but I feel like it's more reasonable to have it be an item than a role bc I think people would've said if they were it already. But I guess maybe whoever has/is it has a specific set of goals or maybe abilities related to keeping it from me?
He's a good player but he's historically been very "Take stuff in and spend time developing theories/reads/ideas before I start posting a lot". The culture on my home site has been if you post a lot you either are Town and get killed fast or are mafia so I think that mentality has impacted him
I know she relies a lot on gut to read people. She has a good instinct for this. I don't particularly remember if she projects emotions, but it makes sense in this context if she does, since her hunting style is more emotion based.Golden wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 8:28 pm Jay, in your experience, does town Dunya constantly project emotions on to people?
Anyone else can contribute to this question too.
My own instinct is to read anyone who constantly projects emotions as being someone who is intentionally trying to drive the narrative and get others to read a person's post in that emotional light.
Trying to make me appear angry, irritated, not calm or somehow emotionally invested in my belief that she is bad bothers me a lot. It's a very smart approach to discrediting my thoughts.
He also said he has exams atm bc this started much earlier than anticipated (as I think u brought up too) but he said he would make sure to postwolbre04 wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 12:53 pmWell either my right boob or a person holding the boob.

wait, I thought you replaced in or something. you signed up?Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 8:01 am It sure is.
Also Mac banned me from posting during day 0 for some reason.
No I don't know what reason it is.
Yes I did.Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 12:57 pmwait, I thought you replaced in or something. you signed up?Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Fri May 18, 2018 8:01 am It sure is.

dudeee, we gotta invest in getting The Syndicate lewd stickers
Wilgy/TH/Marmot would winThat's an... interesting perspective. I've handpicked at least one role in half the games I've hosted. Usually it's either for a meme reason or because the person asked me. I figure the effect it has on luck is too small.dunya wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 8:40 pmI'm saying Mac warned us the game MAY be imbalanced. if he was handpicking teams, he would have called it a fucking bastardized game outright hands-down, no maybes about it. I don't ever entertain the possibility of hosts handpicking teams, because that's not just imbalanced, that messes with chances and general luck and that's way overboard and lame.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 8:34 pmI don't follow what you're saying either. It wouldn't be "handpicked"?dunya wrote: ↑Thu May 17, 2018 8:29 pm i'm really sorry jay, i really don't understand what you're trying to say. like i get the words, but i don't get the point.
anyway, a disclaimer to "hey guys there's a lot of roles so this game might be imbalanced" is different to fucking handpicking teams. there's no "maybe imbalanced" in a handpicked game. i refuse to entertain that possibility because i won't play games like that. period.
