Affinity ISO: wall incoming
Nameless finding me scum for calling him lame is lame. That makes him like super lame or something. Luckily I am a somewhat cool enough guy to tell the difference between lameness and scumminess, but boy do the distinctions blur at times. Make no mistake, however, for I am still sadly a lamer at heart.
"lame" seems to be Affinity-speak for scum-except there's a difference? Posts like this are annoying because I don't understand the terminology. Additionally I said, ED1:
As of right now I'm leaning varying degrees of town on everyone except rawr and Affinity.
I get that scum would be the opposite of town, but it was really only null. Begins an attack on me that has been pretty stable through the game so far.
Given that I and maybe Neko pretty much advocated the same thing as rawr did back here, LLD's attack (and by extension, Nameless') strikes me as rather selective. It's like that lame attack on the evils of democracy all over again, but America shall live forever so it's alright. Would like Nameless to answer to this, since he seems to be following LLD's lead; his lame, passive scumhunting is gradually getting to me.
I wonder why rawr specifically answered Omba's question directed at me just to find him 'leaning scum'; that bothers me, along with him assigning all the lurkers and LLD as scumreads and his more interesting observations as 'not scummy enough to shoot' here. The fluffiness reminiscient of active lurking is certainly there.
Not that I can pin anything on LLD either since that's just the cool, enigmatic manner in which she plays. She is indeed the Dudette of MoTK, at least on D1.
I also like Serela's cute jab on Dan enough to think him town; what a one-two punch it is. I'm such a lamer for that.
Gives some other reads, Serela as town, LLD as null I think and rawr as scummy.
If I was scum I would lie as low as possible, bus all my scumbuddies, and try to win by numbers.
This is the interesting post-if Affinity is scum I'd think Omba would suddenly be a decent shot-since we wouldn't be in LYLO if Omba is town.
Promising a case with 7 hours left in the day (while I'm asleep) is also pretty jerkass, but whatever. If I had to choose someone other than Omba, Nameless and rawr would come to mind for the standard reasons, though I doubt shooting them would be very beneficial. I am a lamer and will always be one due to my inauspicious history.
Bold for emphasis. I know it was still D1, but "for the standard reasons" feels sort of like a cop-out for actual reasons to shoot people.
The only two things interesting about Neko is his original complaint against Conq and his guarding against vigging Nameless. While I praise the latter, the earlier comes across as nitpicking on word choice, which is rather lame especially given that other people were already on Nameless independently for similar reasons. He still comes across as one-dimensional with easy LLD hate, a vague accusation that I'm not putting much effort into my scumhunting (without commenting in depth into my other views), and a baffling fixation on the concept of 'manipulativeness' which seems increasingly out of context.
On Conq, while his D1 seems solid, his D2 raises some questions. I've noticed that while he had seemingly fruitful exchanges with various people, he doesn't seem to have much to show for them. In the end, all I can garner from his current reads is that he hates rawr for the average reasons? There's no evidence as to how his exchange with Nameless or me affected his reads, and he comes off as seeming tentative, an attitude befitting scum.
I still prefer vigging Omba.
Bold part-somewhere between those 2 posts he went from wanting he vigged to praising a scumread (?) for defending against it? Also starts suspecting Conq right before the shot, while still pushing for Omba's shot as he has been the entire game. Is it tunneling or bussing?
Uhh... Serela's CMoA? I think that's the coolest thing I've ever seen this year on MoTK so far. I think Nameless is pretty much likely town now due to Conq's press on him. Neko also looks slightly better for going after Conq, though the reasoning behind that was... lame and not convincing at all. His interactions with Conq (e.g 'manipulativeness') also seem too organic for it to be scum-scum, and so I'm not as focused on Neko now.
Don't think Conq's flip impacts my suspicion on rawr anyway; he was probably lurking hard enough to require his scumpartners to mention him in some way. Has a scumread on Dan but proceeds to tell Serela not to shoot him? What? His LLD case is also too little too lame and not valuable at all.
Still believe that Omba and rawr should be shot. Will leave Dan for later.
Did Affinity have...4 scumreads at the same time at one point? (Omba, rawr, Neko, myself, though suspicions on me were being dropped since D2 and Neko may have been added to replace me on that list) The Dan thing hasn't come up yet-and Affinity hasn't posted since then, 25 hours ago.
Overall, the biggest thing is he said he'd bus his buddies as scum then try to coast on cred, and he's been targetting Omba the whole game. If Affinity turns up scum I'd definitely re-read Omba. [post-cut edit: re-reading now, posting thoughts at the bottom]
Final verdict: consistent, going after easy targets with the exception of Omba (and Conq right before Serela shot him; question for Serela: is Affinity's suspicion why you shot Conq, or did it contribute in any way?) Probably scum, would shoot second after rawr.
-cut cut cut cut cut cut-
Omba would be a decent shot (slipping since D1, and a strong player as well if the suspicions are misplaced), but I do think there are better shots. If you're dead set on shooting Omba then go ahead, I don't disagree with such a shot.
