Scien's initial comment was unreflective at best. Vi has since defended himself accordingly, but the vote for his aggressor is insubstantial and lacks conviction.
Do I have to remind you all that I am Albert B. Rampage? To make me state the obvious is to waste my time.

In the interest of preserving the masons identity, I'm issuing a warning against calling the team, like what VP Baitar is doing. Rather than looking for connections between players, it's much more advantageous to look for individual scumminess to base our votes on.Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will.

This is scumhunting, or what passes for it early on D1.
You also invoked lynch all liars for what barely passed for a 'lie', you were surprised Albert was touchy when being accused of scum, alluded to meta reasons for suspecting Albert but produced none when asked, Didn't join the Albert wagon until there was someone else on it.
So yep, you're the scummiest person around at the moment, just on the usual D1 straws.

A note of general interest:
The following players have enough experience with me to have a solid meta:
Zorblag
Ojanen

Charlatan

Players who really have no idea what my meta is:
Sando
VP Baltar
Scien
Amished
PorkchopExpress
Debonair Danny DiPietro

Look at the beginning of my post to see what I mean. Also, I find VPB's bulldog attacks very scummy indeed. Not only does he pull nonsense out of his ass, he actually tries to defend them as valid arguments.charlatan wrote:

Because I remember several specific instances of it with Zorblag, whereas with Ojanen, she often replaced me or replaced in after I was NK'd so I don't have a strong recollection of her presence in those specific instances. So Ojanen has a very good read on me but I don't recall the specific instances where she was in the game and I demonstrated the aforementioned behavior.Amished wrote:Why did you ask Zorblag over Ojanen, ABR?Guard your honor.

You're not aggressive at all (neither am I at the moment). You're just being stupid and scummy. A town or mason wouldn't try to lynch me based on a bad judgment call, and then claim it to be for meta / game experience reasons.VP Baltar wrote:

The great thing about being in an invitational game with good players is obviously that they will make good points. This means less headbutting and more agreeing. Rather than making the same points and pawning them as my own, IOW plagiarizing, I am content with quoting the players that share my thoughts, which are rather self-evident imo.VPB wrote:Also, I haven't heard you actually address much of anything I've said about you, but rather you seem content to let others defend you.

Listen up. I'm going to go hide under Ojanen's skirt or Zorblag's bridge until you people make up your MIND about why your vote is on me.
I'm going to be completely honest: my early Day 1 play is to basically carry a chip on my shoulder. So if you're a townie or a mason, or even scum, you should get the hell out of my crossfire until you have ice solid evidence to mislynch me. You vote for me, I vote you back. As simple as that. You want to guarantee an extra useful bandwagon vote if the tables turn on you, be my guest. This is my early Day 1 play. Get used to it.Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will.

In a nutshell, no. But rather than look for little scummy intricacies to base a vote on, I just skip the pleasantries and go right into OMGUS. Think of it as my counter-strategy or insect repellent.Amished wrote:Does a stupid strategy really warrant a vote?
I'm kinda bummed about my attitude from the start of this game. It might have something to do with the timing of my post-writing colliding with real life colliding with problems trying to sneak their way into the aforementioned real life.
Don't get any ideas because I'm not excusing myself. I find my play absolutely defensible and relatively coherent (for me) so far.
If your vote isn't based on hate, I don't know what it is based on because VPB's bandwagon vote echo mine to a fault. Why are you choosing to vote me over VPB when we have done the same thing? Why is charlie opting for the same choice? Maybe you have double standard issues, maybe you're trying something new, maybe you have bias, I really can't tell. I don't know.
But so far, I have 3 votes. One for a preposterous, untraceable meta claim, and two for double standards. So the sooner people refine their standards for voting, the sooner we can get to lynching non-ABR targets.Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.-

First seeds of this are really in 176, in which he claims he has no "real reason" suspect VP, but in 187 suddenly does.

The initial vote smacked of wanting to see a bandwagon form for the sake of a bandwagon, but again it became a serious thing later, only when he was pressed on it and when he was already touchy for being called out in regards to Sando.

This isn't a phenomenal insight or anything, but it's good posting.Debonair Danny DiPietro wrote:Unvote; Vote: Amished
Tosses a "content plz" vote on me without asking for any specific content which is weak; asking for generic content doesn't actually help the town at all. Additionally I'm a relatively easy target and his vote can immediatly be spun off as nothing more than a pressure/content vote. This is of course strange because he claims to already have a scum team in mind, but instead of pushing a wagon on one of them, he goes for the lurker? Scum.
for calling the team. However, the lurker vote is understandable. His vote for me obviously wasn't solid enough to last any more than a couple pages.
FOS Amished
I'm going to go ahead and say that you've misread what Amished wrote so he doesn't waste time defending the moot points. What he said is that the town in his games failed to lynch the scum lurkers and went ahead and lynched the town lurkers. The thing with a lurker is that you have no idea what his alignment is because he doesn't post. I find the way you imply that everyone should just assume that you are pro-town suspicious.Debonair Danny DiPietro wrote:
So you've lost too many games by lynching pro-town lurkers, so you begin to pressure and vote a pro-town lurker, okay that argument doesn't make any sense.Amished wrote:1) I've lost too many games because of lurkers (either lynching them if they're pro-town or not if they're scum)FOS DDD

You can see that I found your accusations of clergyman quite ridiculous for a reason. He voted for VPB, and later provided reasons for his vote. You paint this as him "bandwagoning for the sake of bandwagoning". Which, to my estimate, is what pulls the town out of the RVS. Which by my reckoning is a pro-town thing to do. So you are effectively saying that he's scummy for being pro-town. Which is preposterous.Post 309 by Albert B. Rampage wrote:

Taking a look at your "factual inaccuracies" that comprise an integral part of your "case" against SC:
Weak. You might have been voting for me already, but saying that you could swing in either direction does in fact set the stage for you to switch to VPB, which is SC's real point. You blatantly ignore that and choose to focus on sentence structure or choice of word details to discredit him. You later refer back to this post for your "factual inaccuracies", that by the way never defended against the real arguments against you to begin with, but who will remember that if you sweep it under the rug? Oh yes, me.charlatan wrote:
I assume you are talking about this quote? I said a similar (though less strongly worded) thing similar to this in 221, too:SerialClergyman wrote: Charlatan - you looked at two arguing parties and said you didn't like either person's argument and are now preparing to vote one of them.
I didn't say I was "preparing to vote one of them" in this quote. I had already been voting one of them for the last 100 posts or so. Do I misunderstand, or are you just plain wrong?Charlatan 228 wrote:I think arguments on both sides of the fence are contrived, and am comfortable with voting in either direction more than for anyone else in the game at this time.

144, 156, 175, and 221 all deal with VP and ABR and my thoughts on them. There are probably others that do, too. I actually feel pretty confident that I had contributed to the conversation more than you yourself even at that point.SC wrote: Essentially, you didn't comment on the argument, explain which arguments you thought were good or not and you left yourself room to vote for whichever one started losing the argument.
Again, the fact that you were voting one of us does not take away from the fact that you were opening your options (being opportunistic) in regards to VPB vs. me.charlatan wrote:
I don't think this even makes sense given that I was already voting one of them. (You do know that I was, right?)SC wrote:It wasn't just opportunistic, it was setting yourself up to be opportunistic later when you really could tell what was the best wagon to hop on.
It's reasonable to make a semi-random vote, then explain why your vote is staying there a few posts later. Yet this makes up the other half of your case against SC, the first one being "factual inaccuracies".charlatan wrote:I have no problem with bandwagoning for the sake of bandwagoning.

But if you have actual reasons for a vote, I think it makes perfect sense to be able to state them with the initial vote rather than later down the road. In what context is "this vote is for fun" more pro-town than posting a case, if you have one in you?
Confirm vote: charlatanGuard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.-

I need you to elaborate on that.Zorblag wrote:I can also confirm that Debonair Danny DiPietro did do pretty much what he's explaining fits this situation in the newbie game we played together. I actually mentioned that game back when I said I wanted to see more content from him. I do still want more content but what he's doing here is consistent with what he did when I was pushing activity in the early game while he hung back.
