and it was a mistake to play with Nik again because he knows my Scum meta {ie- not posting due to a lack of knowledge regarding the location of the thread}.
Either way, Nik is Scum, this I know. His endless tunnelling will not go unpunished!

Meh. I'm actually not very happy with my activity levels as of late. I blame work and RL. Over 1/2 of my posts were in a single bout of me being online.Jahudo wrote:d3x has stayed pretty active
Fair. Most of my activity has been in the waning RVS. The next part I take exception to, though.has made next to no content besides unassuming questions that try to get reads out of other people
If I'm asking questions in order to get reads, how exactly would I be expected to have the reads I'm looking for? This doesn't make much sense to me.Pair that with him not giving any reads on other players
I can definitely see where you're coming from here, though. I'll be getting you those reads+content in short order...he looks like scum playing to the pace of the game rather than town trying to get the scumhunting started
This does not feel like RVS joking to me, it feels legit. Couple that with the fact that he backs up the position in p48 {he calls it both evidence and a lead} and we're heading down to UnHappy town. He also skips past his reasoning for ignoring the other lurkers {not so subtley from you in p29 and again in p41 just in case he missed it the first time around}.In p26, he wrote:VP Baltar, why are you posting in other games but not posting in this one?
He's not saying that these are things ScumPercy does, he's saying that these are things thatWhat Percy did is exactly what I have a tendency toward doing as scum: posting "Oh, I'll catch up!" and then not actually catching up until I get prodded again. If you want, I could give about five or six examples where I do this as scum.

So welcomed.Gammagooey replaces Maemuki. Welcome him! (or else)
Really, DDD? Pork was recruited. He didn't start as Scum. I feel that his Town play D1 in this game {for those who are interested} and his play thus far are completely different. I'm not seeing how this is so hard to grasp.DDD wrote:We just got out of a game where you, me, and Porkens were the scum team, so WTF is up with this statement.
<-moron. Lol.He was a traitor who knew who the scum team was and had the scum win condition from the very beginning. In no way, shape, or sense was he town in that game.
Pretty straight forward.@Pom and Pork- Thoughts on AwesomeWagon?
This came directly after talking to/about you. I have no reason to believe he was speaking to anyone else directly.What are your thoughts on Nikanor and Percy?
a) Calling someone out for posting in another game is valid if that person is lurking in the one you're playing. We were on p26. That's ridiculous. The fact that you Voted him is one thing, the fact that you backed it up and held to your nonRandom Vote is another. What exactly would you expect him to post? RVS nonsense? What is the Scum motivation behind VP's actions here? b)Did you check on the other players to see if they were posting anywhere else? If it's a valid ScumHunting option for page 2 and you didn't, why not?Nikanor wrote:a) I don't see how being serious about something is scummy, and b) I never skipped over any reasoning.d3x wrote:This does not feel like RVS joking to me, it feels legit.

The problem is, youYeah, and because I do them as scum I assume that everyone does them as scum. That's how I hunt for scum. I think, "What would I do in his position, as scum and as town?" and then make a decision on his scumminess/towniness accordingly.
And I don't ever recall doing this as town.
So you are holding the position that Percy was Lurking when he made his 'catching up' post?Lurker hunting on page five fails, that's why. I had better evidence, so I went for it.
So where are you now?Anyway, the point is not that I do that exclusively as scum. The point is that I do that as scum five times more often than I do as town.
This.VP wrote:In fact, dram, since you've been on Nik since your random vote I'd like you to explain why you are on the wagon still and why you think he'd be the best lynch.
What specifically makes Tony different from Seraphim or dramonic?I can't believe{AwesomeWagon}is the wagon a plurality of the town is pushing while simultaneously enabling Tony to do nothing.
Just as a heads up, a nonlazy RL day of posting will get us about 5% depletion/RL day. By that logic, we have less than a week with fully active posting. I wouldn't categorize us as the most active of Towns right now. Recently, we've been dropping ~5-10%/RL day. With this in mind, we could have as few as 3 RL days until deadline.The Rules wrote:the battery will be replenished by 10% (enough for two days if you're not lazy about it).
Is the Tony wagon a policy Lynch? I'm skimming and can't find a decent case. Nik has been Lurking just as hard and there's a case against him.DDD wrote:*We cannot allow players to just coast through the game without even trying; as we both know allowing such behavior is a recipe for disaster.
Firstly, I'm not biting. You remember what happened the last time we threw down over you getting personal, right? Back off, Nik. <- edited a few times for decencyNik wrote:I'd call you a dirty fucking liar.

Umm... I didn't say I was a hard worker? You called someone out for this reason and backed it up as legit. If it's a legit Tell, why haven't you done this at all with our other Lurkers? If you're admitting that it's a weak Tell, does it make it more or less so in the RVS, specifically in p26 with an active player? If it's an extremely weak example of a weak Tell, why even bother to defend it?And seriously, not everyone is as hard a worker as you, d3x. It's a weak scumtell. I'm not going to go out and do research on something unless I think I'm really onto something.
This response makes no sense. I didn't say you ignored or missed anything. I said you're playing dumb with the whole 'I don't ever remember Lurking as Town' and then immediately saying 'I try to forget when I Lurk as Town'. Allow me to pull the exact quotes for you...I don't understand. I didn't ignore anything, nor do I think I missed anything.d3x wrote:The problem is, you do this as Town, as I pointed out. I don't know what your angle was in saying you 'don't remember doing this' and then saying you try to forget the examples I posted {in the same post}, but it's not working on me.
In p128, you wrote:And I don't ever recall doing this{saying "i'll catch up" and then dissappearing until a prod is sent}as town.
Later in p128, you wrote:Ehh, that game. I tried to forget about that{saying "i'll catch up" and then dissappearing until a prod is sent}.
Good to hear! <-not sarcasticI can tell you all about my awesome weekend if you'd like.
Seraphim is a chronic lurker, and still probably scum.
I don't get why Tony thinks that DDD is scum and vice-versa. DDD, could you summarize the reasons for why Tony is scum?
What made Seraphim different from Tony differnet from dramonic?dramonic is actively lurking, as always. Not really an alignment tell.
Why? You weren't giving reads on all players, so why mention a player that you're not going to provide a read on?Withholding judgement on Percy for now.

I actually think this is funny. Considering how Nik usually tunnels on me and always believes I'm Scum, I find it very interesting that he hasn't thrown any more than an RVS Vote my way. Especially when I'm championing the cause. In fact, I think the only game we played together where heGamma wrote:looks like you're trying to get attention off you by pointing out other players that are attacking you.
Care to share why? I don't think Tony mentioned him once. The only interaction I could find was indirect at best. Tony Voted me when I started in on Nik. Interesting. In fact, I can't really find the ultimate Lurker hunter {nik} coming after Tony at all here either. I found a few times where Nik goes at DDD for going at Tony, but nothing in the other direction.sog wrote:I'm really not feeling the Nikanor wagon.

I'm not following. Why does this give him Town points? The OP states that everyone has an 11th hour ability. Why would he need to lie about it? Also, how can we be sure that he was truthful in his assertion that if he were Scum, he wouldn't be able to give it to a ScumBuddy?Pork wrote:The fact that SOG USED his ability and wasn't lying about it. gives him town points in my book.

What are you inferring with this? Do you think it's scummy? Also, you don't get to declare AwesomeWagon3.0!Hero's catchup post looks kinda like a stream of consciousness from day 1 on.
Meh. I still want to hear from him. Now more than ever! Lol.DDD is excused from answering
How likely is it that there weren't any Scum on the Nik Wagon? Afterall, almost all of the players still alive were on the Nik Wagon.The only thing giving me pause about her is that she WAS on the Nikanor lynch and stuck with it
I was refering to Nik coming after you over 'Lurking' and called it the Lurker fight.What is a "lurker fight"?
Then why did you leave the Wagon? It was a strong Wagon and you left it for an RVS? I don't get it.yes I would have voted for any strong wagon on day 1.
Why? You reassert him using the ability solidified your TownRead on him numerous times, but I don't understand why.The power doesn't prove alignment, but the USE of the power was a strong town-tell.
I'm not saying that this isn't valid, but the same thing was true between Nik and Tony/sog. There wasn't much interaction between them at all.Porkens is my top suspect. The only thing Nikanor said about Porkens was:
Why?I agree that the Hero/Cobalt/Sera slot is town
Can you point to where this happened?I came to that conclusion before the DDD and Tony/SOG flips

I wanted 2 things to happen first.Btw d3x, why aren't you voting if you're convinced of the Porkwagon?
Sorry, I meant have a read on ToD.You mean read his case?
I don't think this would be too difficult to test. Simply ask the Ghost Voters to place a single Vote on each of us for a single VoteCount and then go back to their original Votes after it's been posted, or some such plan.I wouldn't encourage too much speculation unless you can prove that they change based on the living conversations.
Just because they're all confirmed to each other doesn't mean they have to agree with each other. I believe more Ouija boarding is in order.Hero wrote:If they could talk, they would probably choose a single person by consensus and all vote for that person.
This is very true.the ghosts can give us their opinion for tomorrow if they'd like, but we'd still increase our odds of hitting scum by no lynching.
