Scum.

 

 

Too easy probably, but it crossed my mind.

Post smells to me. Non-commital posts that half heartedly defend someone are by scum more often than not. Scum feel the need to make comments like this.

Not a true defense, but fell on that side of the spectrum. My issue is it has the feel of a post that doesnt need to be made. It is game related yet says nothing and means little. So why post it if ur town?

 

So you think he was defending you by saying it was too easy?

 

 

Shad - What was it about Calder's posts that stood out to you?

I thought this was his first game because I don't actually read everyone else's sign-up thread spam when I spam sign-up thread and never made it past the part where he said he was new.  I read it as disgruntled/half-hearted like 'great I have no idea what I'm doing and I have to be scum.'

How does knowing he's played once or twice before affect your perception of it, then?

Interesting.  Would you expect scum to post read-related fluff right off the bat?

Little early to break out the wine isnt it?

I'm assuming at this point that he's pretty experienced.  'Probably too easy' becomes 'definitely too easy'.

WIFOM. Its getting invoked seriously early here. Your question is a leading one. It says scum wouldnt do this obviously. But, then a good scum player would do exactly that to appear as town. So if your a reasonably good player the inherent behavior cannot really be judged either way.

 

Its the tone of the post that i took issue with after all though.

Clov u still here?

 

 

Yeah, DM wasn't loading for me for a few minutes.

Same here. Thought my phone was my problem for awhile there.

 

Am i crazy for being bothered by what appears to be two attempted "nothing to see here" pivots from Shad after i said that first post was fishy? The first one could be argued to be genuine, but two in a row after my comment? Those "i'm really scared posts" have never sat well with me. Scum not wanting to engage imo. But, i want your opinion.

I'm probably going to regret this, but I've got Calder as reasonable town right now.  I don't hate the reasoning for his initial push against Shad at all, and his response to Shad's question wasn't wrong IMO.

 

Gutread on Shad was just barely above rand for mafia after Calder's point, and #50 sounded like he was trying too hard to appear not concerned, but #54 is plausible enough to keep him null at this point.

Bold - No, it's the site.   :tongue: Welcome to DM.

 

I think I kind of answered your question with my previous post, but I don't think you're crazy, no.  Like I said, the post about trembling with fear (I'm assuming this was the first, with "would scum do this?" being the second) stood out to me, so I can see where you're coming from.  

 

FWIW I don't think Shad would have problem engaging as mafia overall, so that's null for me.

I appreciate the response. I view the posts in a scummier light clearly.

I really dont have a handle on the way the quotes are popping up on my phone. Sorry for the inconvenience people.

 

A little sad that Shad doesnt want to play....

That's an odd way of looking at it.  What is the tone aspect that pings you, if the behavior (a low content agreement that a player's intro post is fishy) is null?

There's more than a couple people I wish were active right now, but it's early in the game and late for most people.

You done messed up, A-a-ron.

When is this forum typically the most active in games?

 

Also i assume your going to expand further on your vote.

And it's odd that you single this out considering I did directly engage you in another post.  (You initially blew it off with the WIFOM comment.)  I'm getting a Kivam in Pulp Fiction vibe.  >_>
