You continue to make nothing look scummy.kabenon007 wrote:Well, it is no surprise that QuickBen is hardcore lurking atm. I really want some posts from him, explaining his actions. If nothing new happens, I will be moving my vote. I just have to think of to where...

Lol, maybe that's exactly his point... to make others unprepared because of Kuwabara's underdog-ness feel.Korlash wrote:..., on the other I find it hard to take Kuwabara seriously...
I didn't like this tell. Simply, different behaviour is something we recognize based from past acts, there's no need to discuss it immoderately.Phate wrote:We're not here to lynch scummy players, where "scummy" means "your opinion of the way experienced players act when they're scum." We're here to lynch scum. Different people act in different ways when they're scum. Primarily forum players tend to act more logical as scum and more emotional as town. Primarily chat or IRC players tend to reverse that. More experienced players tend to make more gambits and act more confidently as scum. Unfortunately, they tend to do this as town, too. New players, as scum, tend to have a strong sense of "I want to live!" make simple mistakes, or go too far trying to avoid them and end up looking suspicious anyway. Unfortunately, they tend to do that as town, too. Furthermore, what's a mistake or a slip or a scumtell for an experienced player is often a nulltell for a newbie, and vice-versa.
And it doesn't stop there. Some players break the mold completely, and each player has their own quirks. Compare your own style with Jdodge's or Quag's, or Adel's or Adele's, or BBM's or BM's , or MoS's or SSF's. None of these players are particularly new, and they're all experienced with forum play. And yet their playstyles differ vastly.
A good scumhunter doesn't live by the Jeeptells, or make their own definition of what's always scummy no matter what and follow it to the letter. A good scumhunter recognises first the things that usually mean scum, and as he gets better at it, makes his definitions more specific. He might note a very telling scumtell that only applies to newer players, for example. Or a phrase, that, when uttered by a player who plays primarily in chat games, almost invariably means they're town. And his definition of scummy becomes more diverse.
And it goes deeper than that, too. A good scumhunter draws on prior experience with any given player. If a person's playstyle changes dramatically it usually (of course, there are always exceptions) means they know something they didn't last game. This is called the "meta", short for "metagame". It literally means "after the game".
Saying "scummy=scummy" is not good scumhunting.
Ohh... So your actually resorting to reaching.. that's cool. I mean, yeah just stop talking about OTM and try to blame me for it. Go ahead. See if it flies.Panzer wrote:All I really need to add to this is I'm shocked your letting korlash wash all the OTM talk under the table. I smell scum partners.
How much would it cost to make you switch your vote to Phate or Panzer?QB wrote:Any other questions?
