That seems to be why Kmd4390 is not satisfied by what I'm giving him...Brandi wrote:@SC: You do know that Gorrad already said that the ONLY reason he DID NOT RANDOM VOTE, was because he just "didn't feel like it." Correct? Regardless of what resulted from his non-vote, he did not have any specific intentions.
I saw that post of yours, and I do find it well-reasoned. I have yet to see Gorrad do much.Brandi wrote:Also I did post a semi-lengthy post at the end of page 4 right before the mod did a vote count, in case anyone missed it or got distracted because of the discussion on this page.
chamber wrote:I don't like his actions but 1: I don't think they justify the personal attacks hes getting directed at him and 2: I don't think its very indicative of his alignment.
What do you expect me to give you, a 25-page report on him? I am not Gorrad; therefore, I cannot tell you his thought processes other than what he has said already about them. I can make educated guesses, but even those are wrong. If there were no reactions to what he did, this conversation would not be happening.Kmd4390 wrote:WHAT reactions? I still don't see anything that came from this?StrangerCoug wrote:Hint: They're called reactions.Kmd4390 wrote:Then WHAT discussion was he starting? You are saying he didn't vote because he wanted to start discussion. I don't see anything.StrangerCoug wrote:Well,Icertainly don't think Gorrad's scummy at this point, Kmd4390. You were the first person to post something that pays any attention to it, and nobody said anything toward you regarding the matter until you asked us for our opinions. The scummy/not scummy discussion bit is something you started, not Gorrad.
I'm not expecting anyone to be buddy buddy with me, but if someone is overreaching an argument early in day 1 I *am* going to protest. Since she, nor anyone else, was listening to reason, I was forced to try other tactics.fuzzylightning wrote:As has been said multiple times already, this is not a place where we are all buddy-buddy all the time. This is a game, and we are all playing to win. If you can't handle accusations being thrown at you, be they warranted or unwarranted, then you should ask to be replaced and allow someone who can handle it to play in your stead.
Monkey, by sitting out in protest you are not helping the town at all. As such, I willvote: Monkeyman576for being generally unhelpful to the town and stalling further discussion of anything in this game because of your protest.
Gorrad, you say you randomly didn't vote, but it is quite evident that you made a conscious decision not to vote in the RVS, so why would you play it off like that?
Certainly. KMD did something stupid. Stupid isn't scummy. What is scummy is seeing someone make a stupid early-game attack and agree with them in a non-committal way. This allows the scummy player to jump off if the attack loses steam and push on if it does not.Jazzmyn wrote:Gorrad: I don't understand your vote on Brandi, as you seem to be voting for her for agreeing with Kmd, and yet you give Kmd a pass. That doesn't really make sense to me. Can you please explain the rationale behind that?
Other than a die role, no random vote is truly random. They're all conscious decisions. My post was no different. It was a decision, but my choice to not vote was no more influenced than someone's choice to vote.fuzzylightning wrote:Gorrad, you say you randomly didn't vote, but it is quite evident that you made a conscious decision not to vote in the RVS, so why would you play it off like that?
Starbuck wrote:@Chamber - What personal attacks? There are none. We are not attacking his person (i.e. ad hom), we are attacking his actions, which is what mafia is all about. Monkey is not a newbie, I've played with him before and he has NEVER pulled this type of crap.
Brandi wrote:If you don't like the wagon on you, then do something about it. "Protesting" is asinine and doesn't do anything to help the town. If you really feel that we are somehow being "unfair" then realize that this is a game, and sometimes "unfair" things happen. Sitting out and pouting until things go your way is something that aMonkeyMan576 wrote:I am here. I am choosing not to respond in protest, which is what I originally said.petulant childwould do.
In my opinion being compared directly to a 6 year old would be far more insulting than swear words being directed in my direction. Also in general there is an extremely negative feeling in every post directed at him. Not the most player friendly enviroment I can think of. Certainly not a good way to get him posting again. Though he has anyway so congrats to him.Brandi wrote:I agree that feeling discouraged or even possibly wronged (if he is town) is understandable. But his ACTIONS because of such are NOT. He signed up for this game, to play it, and regardless of his alignment, he is expected to play in this game. Not sit on the sidelines of the game andchamber wrote:You guys are being ridiculous. Could he handle it better then he is ? Yes. Is his reaction completely understandable anyway? Yes.cry like a 6 year old feeling sorry for himself. If he can't handle it, he should at least have the decency to ask for a replacement. SOG is being spot-on in calling him a hypocrite.

Asking who is town is pretty scummy thing to ask, and only gives scum the advantage.Brandi wrote:@chamber: A spade is a spade. My descriptions of how I view the situation and his recent behavior are quite accurate. Those are not personal attacks, as I have not insulted him as a person. I have insulted his actions, and rightfully so. If my behavior was as hideous as Monkey's display, I would love it for someone to show me the error of my ways that I might change them for the better. Perhaps I should have kept my strong opinions to myself, but it looks like Monkey is actually make an effort to join us so I don't feel as though it was entirely pointless.
If you've noticed, I have been more so trying to push him to participate because I do not feel he should be today's lynch. He is currently not the scummiest player here. (My current read on Monkey would be scummy, leaning neutral)
@Monkey: Who do you think is town?
Well, they'd know who to NK, for one, just like they want to get rid of confirmed town, they'd want to get rid of speculated town too.Brandi wrote:I have always viewed this question as a pro-town question. Especially when asked to a player that has recently been under a lot of fire.
You have cast suspicion on SOG, a player supporting your lynch who doesn't really stand out as much.
Depending on who you claim to view as townie and why, you might look more pro-town, or you might look scummy.
In many games I've been in, it's always been a very common thing for multiple players to give their opinions on who they view as townie, and why, and who they view as scummy and why.
Please explain to me what type of "advantage" scum might gain over the town by making such an inquiry? Because quite frankly that doesn't make any sense at all to me.
That's not necessarily true that scum know who every town is...Brandi wrote:O_o
Um. Scum knows who the town is... they don't need to *guess* to hit town. And how exactly does your opinion on who is town make them "confirmed" ?
I seriously doubt any scum in ANY game would ever use other players opinions of who's townie or not to direct their kills. That is just senseless.
