Agreed. This is a pretty sucky situation for a replacement...

Finished my first read through... Thanks Hooked on Phonics for 450 Words per Min!!

Accessory To Murder is a scum tell.

FOS: Super


I'll have to post my write up tomorrow after my second read, I'm going to the Pirates baseball game tonight with the family for my Cousin's Graduation.

Note on snafoo: He's an aggressive player, but also I think, he may be a little lacking in the way of Executive Function... When he reads things, and then subsequently responds to them I think he may loose some of what he tries to prove in transit from brain to keyboard.

And I'm a nilla wafer.

Usually when you duck tho you post in thread and say why. He was lurking almost all game and popping in then dissappeared. Not a good townie point there.

Also, why claim at 2 votes? Anxious?

Vote stands for now.

But I wasn't the one who ducked.

You're just focusing on him because you(muerrto) were his prime suspect day one. And psychologically you feel that because He left the game with those impressions, you feel unjustified in pursuing his arguments against you and trying your damnedest to have him believe you.

To " ... see what his replacement says but I'm ready to lynch him.." is a cynical statement.

You are willing to vote a fresh face, and someone who can give new insight to finding scum based on the "playstyle" of another player. That is rather rash and scummy. You don't want me to post my ideas and by doing so, dilute the minds of those you may have convinced of your innocence and would rather push a blind vote on a new player.

Ahahahaha this post was horrible. An EXTREME appeal to emotion. 'I'm new, hear me out' etc.

You've still got the same role dude. If Snafoo was scum, so are you. Also, way to misquote me. What I said was:
Muerrto wrote:I wanna see what his replacment says but I'm ready to lynch him unless it's amazing. I think he ducked because of the heat.
So how exactly am I trying to stop you from posting your ideas? I called for them. Dilute minds? Blind vote? Is your join date correct? Are you really an IC?

How is it a blind vote? Why do replacements always wanna 'wipe the slate clean'? It doesn't work that way. If you were scum as Snafoo you'll be scum now. It's your job as a replacement to prove you're not.

Your overreaction, vehemence, appeal to emotion, and OMGUS vote are definitely noted tho.

Vote stands.

I wanted to wait for clear, concise, logical arguments because I THOUGHT Snafoo was simply not participating. But Winter's flying off the handle because I asked him why he claimed early? Yeah, that was a bit nuts.

God, this game has had so many replacements. Is that normal? o_o

Anyway W!nt3r, why FOS me?

Also, I have to agree with Muerrto about snafoo wanting a replacement... It just seems really odd that he would do that without even giving an explanation... unless he was avoiding the heat, as you said.

Nothing more than that? How did you feel about Winter's replacement? How did you feel about his vote and reason? How did you feel about him blowing up at me for asking why he claimed? How did you feel about him claiming in his first post?

Let's get some more discussion here people.

Thought so. And yes, his first post claim is strange.

I partially agree with W!nt3r that we should hear more from him before immediately voting for him... But yeah, I don't like his reason for voting you. He's certainly the most suspicious on my list right now. (Also, I didn't notice his role claim the first time I read that... very strange.)

Yeah, me too. That's why the questions. He stays on the sidelines, puts in little input, and seems to agreeable with whoever is looking for him to agree with.

But I didn't like Winter's overreaction either.

I already said I'd lynch either of them, or Litral. But less Litral.

W!nt3r's at L-1, peeps.

You will excuse me for not hammering this time until we've sorted out this SA business.

W!nt3r, it is undeniably true that snafoo did not leave you in an excellent position. When there was so much counting against him, we couldn't just ignore it.

Its not an over-reaction, It's a statement of fact. You are making a game altering choice based on information that is no longer relevant. Namely Snafoo's posts.

With that said. I fos'ed SA for his lack of insight, sub par posting habits, continued rehashing of other player's opinions and posts, and general active lurking.

I voted Muerrto as an OMGUS because he would, going back to an argument in the page 8 to 10 range, He would rather kill off an inactive than see new information... i don't think he's scum. I think he's blind to any new input, which in and of itself is not helpful to the town.

Unvote

FoS: Muerrto

Also your last post... Makes me think you wanted to hammer me out... but then you rechecked the votes and realized that there was a missing third vote.

I'd say snafoo's posts are still relevant, because they might give clues to his role. Which is now yours.

My lack of insight = noob. This IS a newbie game, you know...
And I might not post as crazy much as some people, but I do post more than, say, massive. And I usually post every day. Unless nothing is going on (like yesterday). So what do you mean "active lurking"? I post frequently enough (the guidelines say at least once every two days... I post more than that).
Regarding "rehashing other player's opinions"... that, I will admit to for the most part. I'm bad at reading people AND I'm a noob, so I don't really have any big new theories. When I see something I agree with, I say I agree with it. (... Yeah, I realize this probably sounds really bad... but it's the truth!) I want to improve my skills and get the hang of the game, which is why I'm in a newbie game. I'll try to do better! :cry:
