Definition of OMGUS. Wiki is fine, I learned some definitions. Still plenty of room for inprovement in the wiki, through.

@Camn, what do you think about Gieff's 'cases' on you?
Do you think he is mafia trying to mislynch you or overeager town?

You give two options for camn to choose from.


Both assume camn is town.

She just seems like a poor player to me.
She is not a poor player. In fact, she has been nominated for the best individual performance by a pro-town player.
Benmage wrote:No prior/lead-up explanation. Just a vote. Period. End of story. That in my book is a quintessential example of an “omgus” vote.
That is NOT what an OMGUS vote is. An OMGUS vote is a vote for somebody who has been attacking you. It's not a big deal - it is only scummy insofar as voting people for reasons OTHER than trying to catch scum can be scummy, and that it can serve as a proxy for more substantial scumhunting.


Benmage, you seem to be purposefully trying to upset camn - why?

I think overeager town.. but almost to such an extent that it warrants a policy lynch.

And GEIFF.. you could be 'overeager town' regardless of my alignment, no?
So only ONE of jammer's options assume I am town, contrary to your above statement.
(He also left out 'mafia bussing his partner'... which could TOTALLY be true from an outside perspective... given you are the only vote on me.)

Thank you for defending me to benmage. I just deleted something nasty I said about you... :)

No, both of jammer's two choices assume you are town.
jammer wrote:@Camn, what do you think about Gieff's 'cases' on you?

Note also that jammer gives you a falsely binary choice (or a False dilemma, as the all-knowing, scum-catching, infallible wiki puts it). There are obviously more than 2 options, yet jammer gives you only two options to choose from - both of which are designed to make me look bad, and both of which assume camn is town. There is no reason for a townie to try to fit reality into a two-option scenario.

camn wrote:And GEIFF.. you could be 'overeager town' regardless of my alignment, no?
If you are scum, how can my pursuing your lynch be over-eager? Why answer for jammer?

camn wrote:Except don't think KMD is older or wiser.
He simply has played a ton of games with me.. whereas you have not.
If you are actually interested in truth, it would be silly to ignore his insight.... especially considering your reliance on my 'meta'.
Of course, no one really thinks you are interested in the truth....
My case it not all that reliant on "meta" - I simply link to other games to strengthen it. KMD has more authority than I do on your meta, so you appealed to his authority on that subject, hoping KMD's opinion negates the (ample) evidence I presented. It does not.
camn wrote:You know what I am already dreading? That this weekend, when, as I have already mentioned, I fully intend on getting down to the biz of reviewing EVERY player for scumminess.... I am going to hear your dumb "appeasement" argument.

It won't be that I am no longer acting 'scummy' according to you.. but that I am 'appeasing' you, which is also 'scummy'.
I would love to see your list of all players and your thoughts of them, and I will not say this is appeasement, nor will I think it.

Good. because I was dreading it.
It just takes me a long time in these big games to do a comprehensive analysis, like I like to do! (I do them as scum, too.. so it will be a NULL TELL!)

And re: you ' linking to other games to strengthen it'....
You say I am NOT DOING X... and thus I am scum... but Those things I do, I do in my scumgames too! Pretty much ANY Mini game I will do a PBPA whenever things get slow. So me NOT doing them here goes against my SCUM meta, too!

This being a large game might be throwing me off, I think. I don't play a lot of large games.. mostly minis.
If you are scum, how can my pursuing your lynch be over-eager? Why answer for jammer?
If you push a poor case on someone.. it is poor regardless.
Like.. this game I just finished.. I desperately wanted to lurkerlynch early on. If the lurkers HAPPENED to be scum.. would that have made it any less of a lurkerlynch? Nope. Still a lurkerlynch. Just a lucky one.

And why answer for Jammer? In your words:
Was your question meant to reveal logical inconsistencies on his part? I did not think so, and as I think it revealed YOUR logical inconsistencies, I brought it up.

That is a fair point, but I think it is clear from jammer's question that he is assuming you are town, which, if you ARE town, you should find scummalicious.

I didn't think the question you were asking alex and benmage was scumhunting, but I thought it was pretty clear that my question to jammer was. I answered your question not as a defense of alex or benmage, but as an attack on you. Was your answering jammer's question an attack on me?

Jammer, I'd still like you to answer the question. What do you think the odds are that camn is scum?

I read two of your scum games, and you are absolutely right. I will not include that meta-argument when I summarize my case on you.

GEIFF...

We gotta do something about this.

a) Your case on me is going nowhere.
b) Our argument is NOT helping this game.
c) I am rather convinced it is town vs. town
d) Tons of GOOD leads at finding scum and other things that need attention are falling thought the cracks..
E.G:
---your BM case.
---the Mastin Wagon
---god knows what else.

THUS. I offer you Détente.

If you stop provoking me, I will lay off as well.. and we can pick this up some other day.

Do you accept?

I hope you will, because this has been making me very tired!

I agree, camn - our massive exchanges are very bad for the town, and a lot is falling through the cracks, and the pages and pages provide a convenient excuse for lurkers to remain lurking. I would like to summarize my case on you one last time, but I will try to do it in as non-provoking and concise a way as possible. I have not provoked you intentionally, and if I hurt your feelings, I apologize. It's much easier to be buddy-buddy when I know your win condition matches mine...


I would like others to comment on my case on BM, including BM himself providing his town-explanations for his actions, so people can compare them to my scum-explanations, and see which make more sense.


And I would like Mastin to stop lurking.

Ugh, epic catch up post....and just from skimming I am judging there is much tit for tat between GIEFF and camn to slog through.

GIEFF wrote:Of COURSE that makes sense. Lurkers are bad for the town. Why would scum want to remove them?

This also shows that you are tailoring your behavior to what you think others will perceive as scummy.
Wait, so you are saying that she is avoiding tunnelling on lurkers so she will looking intentionally scummy? I don't get what you are arguing here.
GIEFF wrote:Here is what I know:

I know that you have grudge-killed kmd twice.
I know that both times you did so, you used a power (vig or scum) you would NOT have as a vanilla townie
I know you don't think the word "kill" applies to lynches.
I know you said you wouldn't kill him this game.
I'm sorry, but I always find people trying to push "slips" like this as either being idiotic or scummy.

His reaction to Mastin really rubs me up the wrong way.
Alright?
alex wrote:Yes, I do and, as I said, not only about your waggon.
I find it humorous how you are trying to parry GIEFF into your Mastin defence.
alex wrote:But you don't notice that because you seem to live in your little monotematic world when there must always be ONE player in the gutter and all the others should rest...
well boo-hoo. blatant appeal to emotion.
Mastin wrote:I control the game by bussing my partners heavily, making me look better, or them look better, buddying/ignoring pro-town players, confusing players intentionally instead of unintentionally, appeal to players I know to get them on my side, etc.

Nope, not doing that this game.
In fairness, you haven't hardly posted in this game.
Battle Mage wrote:Haha, not only OMGUS, but you had to wait to see if Mastin was gonna support you or not, first.
This doesn't make much sense....time for me to start drinking instead of doing this reread.

I just cannot seem to force myself to read and post. I have no idea why this is, and it's bothering me to no end. I was looking forward to playing with this group. Pah. I can't seem to make myself post, and I'm not going to keep dragging the game down by my being a lurker. I'm requesting replacement. Sorry guys.

How have I not scumhunted? I've already caught you and alexhans.

What is wrong with my vote on you?

I defended Camn because I think she is town, I think you are scum, and I didn't like the case.

Why do you think I didn't know the case? I knew what it was. I just happened to disagree with it.

Quick and dirty view of the camn/GIEFF kerfuffle. I agree that camn really hasn't been doing any scumhunting. However, both camn and kmd have suggested that's consistent with her town meta so while it bothers me I'm not convinced a strong tell. Furthermore, GIEFF keeps trying to drive home the idea that defensiveness is a scumtell and I completely disagree with that idea. Players of either alignment get defensive when attacked; granted they don't usually get as emotional as camn did but I'd bank on that being personality more than alignment.
