this seems to be where the IceGuy wagon starts in earnest. strange that it has so little foundation

So despite never having played with me before (which you acknowledged earlier) you’ve suddenly made the bolded sweeping judgement about me. Lovely. I’ve never said I’m never wrong. Even the best scum-hunters aren’t 100% accurate. That said I’m on a pretty good hot-streak lynching scum (BTTF Mafia, [REDACTED]) as of late so excuse me if I don’t go second-guessing myself based on AtE.
As for the ‘worry about your health’ I’m not sure whether to take that as a “My scum team is definitely NKing you tonight’ threat or not. Regardless you should gander and my title and realize it probably doesn’t much matter in a multi-scum game if I ‘lay back’ or not.
emphasis mine. it's weird; from reading i don't get a real scum vibe form otolia, but he really hasn't posted much.

I gave it to you and you will feel dumb for five minutes in almost every possible ending of this contest and you are going to move on afterwards. I suggest you tone down the witch hunting and start your motivation analyzing tool on why you I face you that stubbornly and we can both move on untouched.
Your choice.
Here is what we are going to do :
- You stop screaming 'MORE OTOLIA VOTES PLEASE !!!!!' every post and I'll answer every questions you and anyone ask me.
- You unvote me and I'll invest more time into this game.
PS : I fear this might be interpreted as scum trying to negotiate but at this point, it's better than heading in the wall.
this seems like a big misrep from Otolia here; i don't see MoI as using ad hominems. his case against Otolia was mediocre until Otolia's response. he was obviously VERY perturbed by MoI asking for votes…along with the earlier quote, MoI's death is NOT looking good for Otolia right now

If you're voting him for annoyingness, then fine. But in all cases, lynching scum is preferred.
can you explain exactly how he stuck his [REDACTED] into a blender? maybe i just do not understand this analogy

Er.
Does this bug anyone else?
Otolio, do you think MoI is town or scum?
I was going to post saying this bandwagon on Otolio is wierd, but with the bolded statement I might just join it.
good point here. why wouldn't Otolia assume MoI is scum, rather than town, especially if he was so close to voting him?

I know MoI can be annoying, but the last couple of Otolia posts do not sound town-motivated at all.

Well, I’d say yes … on gut feel I don’t see this as BabySpice-Scum. She chose to come out swinging at both Magister and yourself. Not exactly what you would call soft targets.
When I have seen her as scum (Stars Aligned 3, Atomic Mafia, That Bastard Game I Don’t Talk About) she spends much less time attacking targets and making soft statement in the early game (and sometimes Day into it, or as long as she is allowed to lurk). She almost universally avoids what I call Hard Targets (experienced scummers with reputations) unless they are under fire from other strong scummers. Does a good share of buddying.
Convexly when I see her as Town (Battle for Olympus) she is more willing to actively spread her vote around and is willing to call out players who attack her actively.
In fact her position that you are misrepping her here is very reminicant of a similar accusation (incorrect, mind you) she made against me in Battle for Olympus.
So in the end I don’t see this as scum BabySpice. It’s possible she’s changed her stripes but until I see something that sets my scum-dar abuzz she’s in the Townish pool for me.
knowing what we know now, i'm willing to accept this as a fairly good meta read on BabySpice

*shrug*
Explain why you think he'd be this blatant about it if he was scum.
Yes, I am saying he's too scummy to be scum. And this sort of stubborn, dickheaded Otolia is something I think is more likely to come from him as town.
That said, he should stop doing this and start playing, but I don't think he's scum.

This. Completely this. Add on to this it's Otolia.
BB wrote:I was going to post saying this bandwagon on Otolio is wierd, but with the bolded statement I might just join it.
Are you suggesting Otolia knows MoI is town in a game with two scum factions and an unknown amount of other anti-town roles?
I understood Otolia's point completely here. It's not a scum tell or anything.
Anyway, my vote on whisper going nowhere fast.
unvote
VOTE: IceGuy
notice the sweeping generalizations at the beginning (although to his credit he explains the Otolia one at least), the backing of an Otolia i'm increasingly disliking, then a vote out of nowhere on IceGuy; this is the second big move towards the IceGuy wagon, which now has two votes. while this might be a playstyle thing (unfortunately this has become more and more of a trend in the passing years), i strongly dislike play in which players make generalizations that can easily be interpreted as having much more basis than they actually do in a passing glance. now, i'm all for announcing gut reads; they can be very important. however, you should be sure to announce these as such, and if you don't announce something as a gut read, i'm gonna assume you have evidence that you are for some reason not posting. also note that this is more of a rant than actual analysis of this post; zmuffinman does provide evidence to back up some of his claims.

+2 for yos. summed up what i was trying to say much better than i did
In post 281, zMuffinMan wrote:First, you're assuming that people who aren't town reads of mine are scum reads. If they were scum reads, I'd say "holy crap there's so much scum on that wagon" or something along those lines. That wagon simply has no town reads of mine on it and I didn't even realise who was on the Baby Spice wagon until I saw the votecount on the previous page. First thought that ran through my head was "wow, I don't have any town reads on that wagon, something is up".
Secondly, I do think almost everyone in this game is currently wrong (or scum). What of it? Interestingly, about half my town reads have chosen not to jump on either of those wagons, and it's mostly my weaker town reads on Otolia right now, so that reassures me somewhat.
how do these two points gel? you claim you have a scumread on almost everyone; shouldn't the fact that the majority of the BabySpice wagon NOT being in your scumread group (which is what this post is implying) be indicative of the opposite point, that nothing much is wrong with it? can you help rectify these contradicting statements? also you STILL haven't justified the IceGuy at this point.
In post 287, zMuffinMan wrote:iceguy wrote:Players who jumped onto the Baby Spice wagon without justification: Alabaska, GW, Wraith, StefanB and Bogre

The "opportunistic scum" award of this game goes to StefanB.
Right...
So what if BabySpice and Otolia are scum? Where is the opportunism here?
i hope you are playing devil's advocate here…
In post 288, Global Warming wrote:Sorry, was busy for a few days.
The Otolia wagon is all right, but it is a bit easy. Otolia is severely anti-town and therefore a likely mislynch for scum.
Baby Spice is more town in his last few posts. (Though we are still debating a bit on this read)
Sorgster still is scum with his easy hops and last few easy Otolia attacks.
Dry-Fit isn't much better either. Extremely low profile and bad attacks.
However, I want every one (besides Maxous and MuffinMan) to read IceGuy a bit closer.
His first posts are all fluff.
At
post #219 every thing he says is mentioned already. (the quote of DY he had answered himself before). Because of that, that post is completely ignored. (aside from the quote he had from DY on which the answer was "I don't know if scum or town tell)
Then in his last post, he totally ignores the possibility of one or both of them being scum and just looks a lame reason to vote for someone.
Both of his votes (not counting his RVS vote) were extremely low on evidence and are easily skipped because of it.
IceGuy is scum doing as little as possible and flying under the radar as good as he can.
vote: IceGuy
the next step in the IceGuy wagon. this is the first post i've referenced that has some actual logic attached to it. Global Warming seems to imply Otalia is too scummy to be scum, which i don't like, but if Otalia is town, you are correct in asserting that she is a likely mislynch target. this is a wifom-y argument though; but it's not the reason for this post. this is the first vote for IceGuy that is not immediately suspicious now that we know he is town. Global Warming makes some decent points, although the fact that IceGuy had recently posted does take the wind out of his sails a bit.
In post 292, zMuffinMan wrote:iceguy wrote:They might be both scum on different teams?
OK, that's plausible, but it still doesn't explain why he's "opportunistic". A vote without "justification" isn't necessarily opportunistic scum, and your vote on Stefan is far more opportunistic than either of his votes.
this is correct. IceGuy doesn't really answer the question in his response, but i don't really see how the vote on Stefan is opportunistic at this point in time. there is no wagon on Stefan as of this post.
In post 292, zMuffinMan wrote:iceguy wrote:If I would be scum, I'd have been jumping on at least one of the Baby Spice/Otolia wagons.
like a said before, a reaction and no supporting evidence. why is this so "fail"?
In post 292, zMuffinMan wrote:iceguy wrote:I fail to see why you're trying to paint me as scum for actual scum-hunting and at ignoring people who are just jumping on the easy wagon.
Right...
So as scum you would have made yourself even more obvious by jumping on an "easy wagon" instead of trying to appear like you're scum hunting?
Yeah, that sounds believable.
this is so full of WIFOM! so does this mean you have town reads on the people on the BabySpice wagon now?????
after IceGuy makes a decent response, this is zmuffinman's response. yes, i quoted all of it. REALLY not liking zmuffinman right now.

So post 258 does not exist?
I am not sure about Baby Spice.
I think it's highly likly that Otalia is scum or at best a dangerous player to leave around even if town.
I think that that the most logical explanation for the post of Sage is that she is scum with Whispersilk.
I think that your vote is feeling false, I don't believe that you believe yourself what you posted today.
I know that their is a big chance that I am not right, about everyone on this list, but we have from simple math (about 25 % of players are scum is normal) at last 6 scum, perhaps more.
OMGOS is only if their is no reason other than the vote. In my opinion, there is a case on you.
Lie 1:
I voted without reason.
Lie 2:
I never suspected Sage bevor I was voted by you.
Next time before you pick a target you believe is easy at last check their ISO.
Or is Ice to scummy to be scum?
i'm not sure what to make of this post; Stefan is definitely making way too big a deal out of IceGuy's posts, but seeing as he's the one IceGuy is voting, i can understand this. the Otalia comment makes me feel like they are not on the same scum team if they are both scum, which is a huge jump, but every little opinion can be important, so i'll say that thought anyway, in case something happens later that makes it more relevant.
speaking of Otalia, the game is not slow any more at this point; there is certainly stuff going on. where are you when this is happening?

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about him. If he doesn't post a lot better on Monday then he did on Friday, I'll probably move me vote to him.
gotcha

Of course it does, I just missed it before. I correct myself: you've expressed suspicions of Sage before. Still doesn't explain your late vote change though..
So you admite that your whole reason for voting me has been disproven?
this is not what this is saying at all. did you miss the last sentence?
well this guy is town, so i'll just say that this is another important stage in the iceguy wagon and leave it at that. this marks the point where people are starting to choose sides based on others' cases moreso than their own reads. this is an important stage in the formative process of the wagon

The reason I voted for Otolia is that his entire play this game was scummy and the mindnumblingly dumb apex was when he OMGUSed MoI, who is obvtown. Really, I'm not buying the too dumb to be scum, because half of the time, they really are that bad.
Although EC just pinged my scumdar for voting Iceguy causing that wagon to create too many votes. DavidX is still so obv lurkerscumdodgeprod scum it hurts.
Sorgs #299 is an excellent point. Sage seems protown to me right now.
Wishing you the best of luck, ML.
why call out DavidX and not other dodgers, such as myself? also, is your first sentence a full joke (you say it is a joke, but whether you think he is scummy for doing it is left up to speculation), or do you agree that posting just those pictures instead of a response is the sign of a lazy scum hoping people will just assume his response is stupid because of their .gif? also, why was Sage protown to you at this point? it's ok if you can't remember the answer to that last question; that's what i get for being late to the party
