I am not saying we should lynch people for bad plays

I am saying we should lynch people who we read as socially likely to be non-BD

I don’t see how this is complicated

That assumes there is only 1 right way to read

#307

Well, is there another right way to read?

#308

No, but it does assume BD players take actions to indicate they are in fact BD

#309

Which is like the whole point of a social game

#310

What is the true way to read

#311

Do not avoid my question. Is there another right way to read?

#312

No it doesn’t

Whether you’re identifying scum based on VCA or chat activity patterns or whatever doesn’t change the fact that lynching scummy players should not be disincentivized beyond the risk of a mislynch

#314

Well I can’t say is there another if I don’t know the first one

#315

If you don’t know how to read, then there’s an issue.

#316

So now you’re saying scummy is any action scumread by someone

#317

Oh I do know but I don’t say it is the only right way to read

#318

No, scummy is not

Scummy is , as Arete and I put it:

#319

Someone doesn’t have to scumread an action for them to be scummy.

Someone can even falsely scumread an action that was towny
