My gut is saying Grandi is scum but it is also saying something is weird. It also is wanting the pie I just pulled out of the oven.

I thought this after Grandi's first post when he votes Little Mac. It just doesn't feel sincere.

The downside of open set ups is that you can't really do a fake claim to kick start discussion. We're kinda stuck on whatever we got out of joke phase.

I don't really get a scum vibe from Keane or Quid. Quid goes after me a bit, but he always does.

What do you think about Grandi, Kumba? Starting at the post where he votes Little Mac

I think my issue with Grandi is less with his hedginess and backing down, because it really truly seems like he's unsure what to think of Keane and wants to see something from him to sway his mind. I just don't understand why the post Grandi quoted is what swayed his mind?

I was on the fence. The double down of baiting me to vote him feels more townie than scummy. He was staring me down daring me to make a move. I like it. I looked into his eyes and read his heart.

Like, this isn't even what happened. His "poo poo or get off the pot" was more in reference to "put down some solid opinions instead of waffling" rather than "vote me motherfucker." I know around here that "give a solid opinion" usually means "drop a vote" but that's not the vibe I am getting from Keane at all. Am I missing something?

The Asiina and Grandi votes on Mac are both super weird. I don't know how anyone could look at that and not think it was a joke. At least Asiina asks if it is a joke, but Grandi is so super serious about it I just don't understand.

I mean, Grandi, you basically did what you called Keane out for doing - you're currently voting the vote leader when you had suspicions about Keane's motives. Why didn't you unvote at that time? Why are you STILL voting Little Mac?

Asiina, can you check in and talk about how you feel about Mac?

Nah, it wasn't the same, I have actual suspicions on Little Mac, I have outlined them. The Keane thing was upfront and occuring at the time. I was discussing it real time, but even if I had gone on the scum read side of the fence, it would have still been a lesser read than my Mac read. Keane was voting a jokevote candidate.

Very not a scum claim. It the continuation of a misread of a title.

Now the question becomes, is little mac scum for not seeing this... no.

But is he scum for jumping on a terrible assumption of a scumclaim... maybe. I could see this, the stretch feels more scum mind than town mind. Yeah, I like this reasoning.

The whole thing never read serious to me, and the degree of serious with which Grandi is interpreting it is scummy.

Your actual suspicions on Little Mac read as if you're trying to convince yourself during the post. You haven't directly mentioned being suspicious of Mac since then, except for now, and I don't understand how with the other stuff we've been discussing, you still think Mac is the best case?

I was voting cause Mac was definitely making a weird connection and I couldn't tell if it was a joke vote or not. But I suppose it was.

I agree with everyone else though that Grandi's effort post to explain it feels very forced.

I wish I had more to say than :agreed: but it's pretty much how I feel about it.

Artist's rendition of Grandicap:


God dammit, now I'm hungry.

I would vote pmush because while humorous, waffling is not a scum tell and pmush knows this. He is riding a tide of the moment and pouncing on it.

Juan's vote is bad too but totally in character for him. I would lean town here.
I think Quid is town, and keane is town, these are the two that have talked about me the most convinceingly, like actually caring about my content and what it means, rather than looking for a place to place a vote. I like these two.

Could go either way on yuming. Lack of engagement seems like status quo. But I like the kumba read. It might even be prescient... I think I might actually like Kumba as scum now.

Asiina's vote is very me too, but to such an extent that it feels townie. Points to valid casework that she agrees with. Calls out the me too-ness. Doesn't force more. But clearly explains her position. Would not vote.

Little Mac has not posted so it is difficult to continue to ride the bad misread because there is no new content. I could still vote here based on my early suspicions but saying it is more than a lurker vote with a bad first impression would leave much to be desired.

poo poo Kumba doesn't have much either apart from the post yuming found. poo poo.

So is that everyone? Apparently I like the lurkers and pmush for scum. That is lazy of my brain. Yuming is my borderline call.
I feel like scum is more likely in that block than out of it.

Grandicap
Feb 8, 2006

And Pmush is a borderline lurker too. Aside from being the first vote on me. Seeing a rising tide there and jumping early on Keane's questioning of me. There hasn't been any content, nor any desire to produce content. Decrying the game for lack of non-joke content... I think this is where my vote will go and where I will ask you to look after my death.

tbh i skimmed page 2 and didnt read his post, i got scum vibes off of quid's entry post and keane's vig post that's why i mentioned those two

i have now read grandi's vote post and subsequent follow up and they are awfully waffly and wordy. if it wasn't hammer i might vote.

i think he's actually right about one thing tho: keane's callout of grandi is scummy, in that he is calling out grandi for voting the vote leader but doesn't change his vote himself to the guy he just called out: he instead keeps it on the same guy grandi is voting for. dislike. i strongly dislike how keane has basically been drawing this COWARD narrative but never bothered to vote himself. seems insincere.

and now, when grandi's at -1, he's all like no guys grandi is town for reasons i'm not going to say

i'm happy with my vote where it is but i'll hammer if it comes to it

So how is being waffly equivocated with being scummy? If I see facts and weigh them and make decisions, some stronger, some weaker, how is that a bad thing.

you're not waffly in that you're naturally changing your mind, you're waffly in that you'd be easily swayed by a gentle breeze. those two posts quid called out here was a good example of that.

I was only "waffly" on Keane, when I said I was on the fence the whole time. Neutral. I hadn't made a decision on his alignment, as he posted more I made one.

Whatever, just vote me and end it. I have put my thoughts down.

Grandicap, I think you're scum not just because you're waffling, but also because you are tiptoeing. Every post you make, even your vote on me, is incredibly non-committal, incredibly safe. You're making every single post like you're trying to state your opinion without actually having a firm opinion. And that's what scummy to me.

i dont know how to answer your first question. i disagree with him.

to your second question: grandi's vote post and follow up were scummy. keane's follow up to that was scummy. grandi's recent posting less so. hence, i'm voting for keane, but will hammer grandi to avoid nl. i don't really care that both of their scumminesses come from interactions with one another.
