I'd say withholding your vote is scummier than anything you've attacked me on. Seems that you don't want to take sides so you can leap on whatever the prevailing wagon is.cruelty wrote:That's not what I said. Don't twist my words.
Claiming that you're pro-town because you noticed a lurker is, in my eyes, a null tell. That doesn't mean ignore them, it's just that it's to everyone's benefit to put heat on lurkers.
You're rapidly changing your mind, you're claiming pro-town activities when they're not anything of the sort, and you're twisting my words. It's all rather scummy. I'm not going to vote because of the Zeenon factor, but you're on notice.

Well that's just clutching at straws.
I would happily vote for you if it wasn't for the fact that I'm waiting on Zeenon to get back into the game. If you look at post 308, I have a question for Zeenon waiting to be answered - of course I'm not going to rashly vote for you. That would be premature and foolish.the nexus of the crisis-

Deadline is tomorrow unless we get an extension. We will no lynch if there is no majority. We need a lynch.
Request deadline extension
Revote: Zee
I was voting to pressure you to talk. I know you have comp problems, but we need all the help we can get. And the silence is not helpful no matter what the cause.
Not to mention I think your positions were inconsistent before, hence the questions to you.-

Seems as though this game has gotten a little stagnant. Those voting Zee, what are you reasons? What is your case on him. I will go back through and review my case of MM as you are doing that. We need to continue on without ZEE. Waiting on him to post content can only hurt town w/e his alignment. (plus it's really effing boring )
Jason, your last post just struck me as sorta odd. I'll quote it
It bothers me because you didn't actually accomplish anything with it other than "hooray, scum down". I mean, you give us that you agree it could be a bus, but you don't say you think it is or isn't one. You are "interested" in something, but don't have any specific questions about it. You follow that up with WIFOM, and end with telling us that you have played with scum Fuzzy, but there isn't enough to go on for it to be of any use.Jason wrote: Didnt expect Modkill... but at least one scum is down.
I actually agree with Fuzzy here as I have experienced many times that the first one to point out or make the case is usually a scum partner trying to score town points when it comes to a lynch.
I am also interested in the 'town read on Fuzzy' more than anything now.. it presents an interesting set of scenarios.
Was Rai trying to cosy up to Fuzzy? as Ria as scum would have already known that Fuzzy was town given scum get told their partners in their PM
or
Did he know Fuzzy was his scum partner and trying to send us of the scent on any future lynches because scum had a town read on someone?
I have played with scum Fuzzy, though not town fuzzy, and not sure that what I have to go is of any use but I know scum fuzzy was alot more active and productive. Given he has only made 9 posts here.
So all in all, nothing productive that I can see. That was 3 days ago. Can you let us know what you are thinking now? Get this game going again.
Another thing that struck me odd as I was ISO'ing Jason, was this
Yet he was back 2 days ago and hasn't said anything besides he's back. Why were you so quick to ask for a prod on Jason the next day after he was to be back, yet you yourself have posted nothing of merit since your return 2 days ago? Are you caught up in this game?d3x wrote:Mod- Has hero responded to his prod? Also, jason said he'd be back by yesterday morning. Can we get a prod on him, please?
@all- I'll hopefully be able to post more on pertinent discussion later this afternoon. I'm still confident with my read/Vote on Raivann.ShowSo...are you for good, or for AWESOME!?

Briefly? No, I'm about 4 pages behind. I finished up 2 other games yesterday {both Town wins, yay!} and have caught up to a 70+ page game. Due to the walls of posting, I'm getting back into this one a bit slower. Trust me, you'll know when I'm caught up. Also...CM wrote:you caught up in this game?
jason had posted once in this game before posting his V/LA due to emergency. My haste to prod him was to make sure that he wouldn't be lurking through the game as Hero, Sweep, and Fuzzy {to a lesser extent} had been doing.Why were you so quick to ask for a prod on Jason the next day after he was to be back, yet you yourself have posted nothing of merit since your return 2 days ago?-

And as promised, you'd all know when I was caught up.
Ok, first things first.Mod- You're prodding everyone, so I don't have to request that, however, are we replacing Hero? He hasn't posted since... well, since before the 1st Mod said he was going to let you handle replacing him.
Second-Vote:MMThe short version is I don't like the tendency you've shown for doing something and then saying that it's proTown. Let the Town decide what is and isn't proTown. I'm almost at a Null Tell on this because it'd be ridiculous to be that obvious, but that dips a bit too much into WIFOM for my taste. The long version will have to wait for the moment, I'd rather get some discussion going first.
Third- It's great that we got this extension, but we need to make the most out of it. We're still only 5 days away from deadline. Let's kick the tires and light the fires, ladies!-

I don't think there is anything wrong with pointing out something as being pro-town if someone is attacking you. It is suspicious if you are just doing it out of thin air.d3x wrote:And as promised, you'd all know when I was caught up.

Well, I agree with you there. I guess the difference in opinion is that I feel like youI don't think there is anything wrong with pointing out something as being pro-town if someone is attacking you. It is suspicious if you are just doing it out of thin air.aredoing it out of thin air. It's not like someone is listing your moves as Scum Tells and you're arguing that they're clearly proTown. Take the most recent instance. Dizzle asked why you Voted ZEE. Your response was...
I wouldn't have a problem if you had said you were suspicious because he was an obvLurker. That's not what you said, though. You said, 'He's an obvLurker and me pointing it out is obvTown'. {<- obvSummary }I recognized him as lurking, and bringing out lurkers is pro-town.
Ultimately, it reads to me like you're tryingawfullyhard to seem proTown.-

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. Seems an awful lot like WIFOM to me. I think it's natural to want to seem pro-town when someone is attacking you. It would be one thing if I was just going after lurkers, but I was also attacking Raivann, who was not exactly lurking.d3x wrote:

You're not even being pro-town.

Again, I don't believe you were being attacked on that point. In the above example, Dizzle was just asking you why you Voted ZEE. Aside from that, wanting to seem proTown and blatantly calling your own play proTown are 2 very different things.I think it's natural to want to seem pro-town when someone is attacking you.
As to you 'attacking' Raivann, you clearly said that you wanted your Vote on Raivann to be 'on record'. It's never really sat well with me, but it got dropped for want of jucier conversation after a few posts. Your p200 reads exactly like the 'bringing out lurkers is proTown' comment. It doesn't help the fact that you end p200 by saying you'd be ok taking your Vote off if the Town didn't want it there.
It feels like you're trying to appease us and tell us why you're proTown instead of showing us. Oh, and you did say...
{emphasis mine} This wasn'tI already FOS'd him(for avoiding questions, and for calling someone pro-town after only 2 posts, if anything the lack of posting is, and anti-town)lurkingthatlong ago, so I'd be careful saying that he wasn't exactly lurking when it was clearly a reason for you to start in on him.-

Because it's a valid point. OMGUS is thrown around an awful lot and people don't understand what OMGUS really is, which is voting someone after they vote you and not providing a reason.cruelty wrote: Also, answer this.
