That was a thing of absolute beauty and perfection.

Has anyone here ever been on a Scum team with **Peeker** (or read the Scum thread afterwards)? Is he cooperative and rational with them, or is he all over the place the way he is in game threads? Is he likely to be guided by Scum consensus, or take his own route?

Yeah! We got one! Or, rather, everyone else got one while I sat around with my thumb up my ass.

Well, to be more precise, I prepared for a play, rescinded my request for a divorce and for everything put together for this week’s football pool. It’s been a hectic one. But still, woohoo for dead scum.

Don’t know if it’s too late for it to matter at all, but I do not have the book, nor have I ever had it at any time.

Actual participation Tomorrow.

Yes! I was worried peek was pulling some very odd vanilla Town experiment. Glad to see we were right about him.

I always fail it second-guessing what Peeker will do or why he does it. I think that part of his charm 🙂

Just a heads up:  
I’m out out town for a couple of days (Sunday to Wednesday) - I’ll try to follow along from my phone. But not sure if it’ll work.

I was Scum with him in Super Smash Brothers (the original) where he was pretty rational on the Scum board and cooperative. Of course, he was also the one who most strongly encouraged my Gettysburg and Wikipedia rampage. :eek: That’s the only time I’ve been Scum with him as I recall.

I’ve read other Scum boards where he’s been insightful and helpful and more towards the leader side of things but by no means bossy.

@Normal Phase

In light of your claim to have been attacked, I hesitate to point the finger of suspicion at you. But, having reviewed your posts to date, I’m wondering how it is that you’ve misread both me and Romanic so badly.

You know the pair of us well, and yet you called Roman as scum, where I saw him as likely innocent. And you’ve repeatedly called my decisions into question, despite knowing how I tend to act when scum-hunting (and how often I call it correctly when arguing against the popular mood). Getting you to follow a case I made against myself was exactly how I picked you out as mafia in that vanilla game, so I’m surprised you didn’t see what I was doing here.

Can you explain what it is that’s been throwing your scumdar off?

@Suburban Plankton

I notice that you provided moral support for the case peeker went on to make against me:

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#):
>
> You leapt immediately and unwaveringly to his defense, based exclusively on the premise that “Romanic wouldn’t make that kind of mistake if he were Scum”.

And then there’s [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13018767&postcount=1387), which looks as if it was aimed at sowing doubt about the peeker bandwagon, and ends with a call for peeker to make a better defence of himself (a call which, I imagine, was echoed on the scumboard):

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#):
>
> I’m going to have to think on it just a bit more before I decide which way to go on this. I’d really like to here more from peeker in his own defense than he “swears to goodness”.

Finally, there’s [the late, late vote](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13024706&postcount=1521) against peeker, which you held back until the result was more-or-less certain.

Doesn’t look good, does it?

I think, out of the whole **peeker** episode, that **Mrs McGinty** and **special ed** come out roses from it. The former was the first to point out the “slip”, and the second pressed it after everyone mostly ignored it the first time.
