Response to Haylen:
I didn't want anybody to bandwagon Maemuki on my first vote
because it was random
. How many times do I have to explain this? I am not a fan of random bandwagons at all. In my experience, they lead to poor play, mislynches and bad decisions. The only reason that I random voted was because we didn't have time to do questions and because I wanted to participate rather than lurking.
I didn't explain why I disagreed with Glork over Bogre to make a point - I can do it too. Many players have said "X is town" or "Y is scum" with no backing, Glork being one of the main offenders. I was trying to show why that style of scumhunting simply doesn't work. He needed to either post a reason or drop it. There was no reason to go after Bogre at that point other than the fact that he was the first random vote.
You honestly see it as a town tell? That's shocking. I've said it as town and scum, as have other players that I have played with. I'm not saying that it's scummy in that post, I'm saying that it's not a defense.
You need to understand the difference between game theory and theory of who is scum. What I meant was that to explain why I random voted even though I hate random votes requires a delve into game theory, the same thing that many people have been attacking me for.
Ellibereth has bad playstyle, is attacking me for no real stated reason, fails to back up his accusations and is generally anti-town. I've explained this. Yes, there is a policy aspect to it. No, it is not ONLY a policy vote. However, the combination of the two deficiencies means that he is a good candidate for the lynch.
39: Coming from you, Haylen, this is absolutely hilarious. You've pointed to your meta in every single game that I've been in with you. However, specifically, I was questioned about my meta, so I provided some games.
42: Maybe it IS hopping on the first bandwagon that he sees. That is also scummy. That WOULD fit in line with his play in my previous game...However, it is also a commonly used scum tactic. Scum likes to attack whoever happens to be the easy lynch. Regardless, I can't find a town justification for his actions.
45: Not really. I'm accepting the fact that, if we have 5 people who would be good lynches, at least 1 is probably town, and there's probably several scum not on that list. If we have an equal case on all of them, though, why is it better to lynch someone who plays better? To me, we want to try to keep the town scum-hunting team as strong as possible while eliminating scum in order to keep us as effective in future days.
Also, it's clear that you only read me in isolation and failed to read the context of my posts. They make a lot more sense if you read certain posts in there (Particularly the last few) as responses to questions posed.
My posts are best read in the calm, reassuring voice of Morgan Freeman. I don't sound anything like him, but they sound best that way.
Temporarily retiring following the end of my current obligations.
