Elli - I didn't say the thread was dying. I said that I could see it dying. Badly phrased maybe but I couldn't see an easy way to move forward. I went back and did the re-read and posted what I admit was a flimsy argument in an attempt to keep the game moving.

I am fairly happy as the defence that Deer is, to me (and in comparison to other games I have read recently) not over defensive. He's just posting decent reasons. Please note that "fairly happy" does not mean I am not still suspicious.

Right now I would like to hear (as I said) more from Jee before I post too much more.

For info. I have been sent on a technical course to London from Sunday to Friday 22- 27 Nov. I hope to be able to get regular access while I am away but may only be able to get on once every 24 - 36 hours. My apologies!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I'm going
through a rough period ATM and is suffering from
insomnia... So I'm having a little troube keeping up.

But this is what I got:

My main suspicion is of Elli,
but I think deer is seeming somewhat scummy too.

I'm hoping to actually get some sleep tonight,
and if that's the case, expect a more in-depth post.

Just a quick scan of posts for anything that really stands out and apart from one post Jee has only posted one liners, and even a single word in one post.

Does this scream active lurking? it does to me.

NOT game related: Jee - Chelsea??? Definitely scummy!! :twisted:
:lol:

You're already at L-2, I will quite happily put you at L-1 or even lynch unless you give me a good reason not to. I also have a pretty good feeling who I want to go after as your scumbuddy, but more of that later.

For the people voting for me. Can I get some reasons, possibly to help me better defend the accusations.

Next thing,

From who? And if it was deer, why didn't you continue to wait

Because I was getting a lot of flack about it, expecially from you

FOS: jee
I WAS waiting, but I had alot of people attacking me for it.

Ellibereth wrote:#1
What the heck are you talking about? He DOES point out he doesn't like to RV, but how the hell does that associate him with town?

You accuse deer of buddying when he does tiny things such as agreeing with you in #4, and just clarifying a freaking post in #6.
Youre right, it was just little things I saw... the reason I voted him in the first place... to get more out of him... but then, everyone turned after me.
Ellibereth wrote:However, you seem to "miss" the below more blatant case of directly defending you in #3.
deer wrote:As Sens said, this seems unfair. Besides Ellibereth, who might just be new and have little experience, me and jee have done little to show ourselves as scum. My reason for voting RPG was just as legitimate as your reason for voting for SensFan, and jee's, while it may have been a slight bandwagon, also appeared to be random.
False, see here:

@Mr.Finch... thats kind of just me. I was answering the questions asked, giving no reasons because i was looking for reaction. By the way there isn't any reason to get a person to L-1 this early.

and yes... Chelsea FC ALL THE WAY

Jee wrote: @ Twilight. yah that wasn't me. you confused me. Also, you don't want to say, "Oh I'm not going to random vote during RVS, so I will put a second vote on someone." That may create suspicion on me. I saw that you had one vote, so I put a second one on to create pressure, discised as a random vote.
I never had you answer this for me, Jee. But what in the heck do you mean by this? You dont want ME to put suspicion on you? Why not? If you're town, what are you afraid of?

Looking through your ISO, It seems you have tried to write without writing. In that, I mean You say posts #3,4,5, etc... But why dont you just quote those posts because I have no idea what you are talking about. It's pretty strenuous to hop back and forth reading what you have to write and attribute it to your case and make some sort of reason out of all of it. It's much eaiser for you and all of us if you just quote em up.
Jee wrote: I was answering the questions asked, giving no reasons because i was looking for reaction
What reaction were you looking for? The only reaction you'll ever get out of that is exactly what you got. Nothing more can really come of that. Especially when two posts that should have been substantial in content were "I have my reasons" and "Me". People were waiting to see what you had to say, and you bailed on that and now you're saying it's just because you wanted a reaction. El contrair, we actually wanted a response out of you. But you gave us none trying to use the "reaction" tactic. It just seemed like a good bailout plan.

It is absolutely and completely ludicrous and insane to start calling out scumpairs before we have a single Scum dead. There's no sane reason to be voting someone on Day 1 because you think they might be Scum with someone else. On Day 1, you're lucky if you happen to lynch Scum at all, since that isn't even the intended purpose.

Also, are you really saying I'm suspicious for balking at the statement that someone has caught both Scum by page 3-4? If so, I suggest you take off those tunnel-glasses you seem to where whenever you play with me; since that would be illogical and insane.

I don't know what you're looking for with this. Of course I'm not going to purposely cause suspicion on me.

Didn't know I was gonna get in trouble for this... The last game I played in started turning into extremely long walls of quotes and it became unbearable for a lot of people to even keep playing. It became a chore to read through them. I was just trying to avoid it since those posts together were decently long.
RPG*Twilight wrote:What reaction were you looking for? The only reaction you'll ever get out of that is exactly what you got.
IDK what I was expecting. I wanted a reaction. I played mafia in my last game and deer resembled alot of what I did in the game. It was a gut feeling to vote for him, and I was looking at where it led me, from his reaction.

Sorry for the disappearance!

I've been reading the thread, but I don't know what to add at this point. The whole 'DarkLightA vs. jee vs. deer vs. SensFan vs. Ellibereth' is getting a little bit overwhelming. I'm just not sure what questions to ask at this point.

At this point, I don't even have a strong enough leaning to even give some input or pressure on a player.
I'll reread the thread and see if I can find any information that hasn't been brought up, but it seems like to many players are on a defensive track to establish who's most likely trying to hide something.
This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

It is a important, and popular fact, that things are not always as they seem...

What I see:

1 You are aggressive in your posts. Whether this is on purpose or not, I don't know.
2. I have no meta on either of you.
3. Hypocritical? Is it bad of me to say that (even after being alive for 37 years) I don't understand this word well enough to agree or disagree?

For my opinion? I don't think you are scummy (Sensfan) but I could be proven wrong. I also don't know what the hell he (DLA) is playing at but I don't like that he won't explain himself and one word posts like "naturally" and the quote you quoted above gets right up my nose. Not exactly pro-town attitude is it.

@jee - Do you read the thread? I posted that access would be limited for me back in post 100.
booo i guess i'll come back to it in a few days.
You're kidding right? Please tell me you're not serious. Just 'cos Elli's away doesn't mean you can't offer opinions on other people. Do you still feel that Deer is scum? Are YOU bussing?

What about the "banter" between Sensfan and DLa?

Arthur: Please, ask some questions, get some answers, get involved! I feel like you're active lurking at the moment.
