That's a fair point. Sometimes this technique catches town tho (I'll explain later if you want).skerterg wrote:Indeed, with KageLord's vote on popsofctown I felt much confirmed and comfortable with my post.
I can understand the issue about not much content being scummy, but how is me asking you why you dropped a case on me considered scummy?skerterg wrote:To horrordude0215: well, I looked at your posts and I didn't really find that much that would give indication that you could be the scum partner of razorback. Looking at your ISO, I see that you voted for razorback in post 23/24. In your next main post (27) you respond to my accusations. And...that's it. A few posts without that much content; check for yourself. Nothing that indicates you are defending razorback or trying to teach him. However, I guess you could be scum who just wanted to stay quiet during the whole process. Add the fact that you are specifically asking me this...and you have proven yourself to be more scummy than Exilon! Congratulations.

Before that, he quoted a very long quote from kelikar that I didn't put here in interest of space, but I would advise you to look back. For once, razorback sounds apologetic. Perhaps to a fellow mafia? I hope I'm not getting too into this, but I'm beginning to get more and more convinced.razorback, 15 wrote:yes well you'll have to forgive my action's i kinda lost myself i'm a bit on edge here in this game. i have been off the grid for some one years time and as you can see i have temper probelm. that's why i don't like to speak to much because my control slips. i have tryed not to come off sounding scummy buit's it's hard on me as townie i'm better suited for a power role. when i can blend in with people and mask my self in to my play area...
not a.t.e. just simple fact
Hmmm...I don't think Exilon "seem[ed] pretty quick to jump on the pops wagon," because he already did state that pops was one he was suspicious of in a previous post.KageLord wrote:The other suspect would be Exilon. Now I'm way less convinced for him, but he did seem pretty quick to jump on the pops wagon right there. I mean, skert and I had expressed suspicion already, but we hadn't even voted.
Second, you voted for pops afterwards also. Though I can't accuse you of wagoning, since you were pretty much suspicious of pops all along, I do feel it is a little hypocritical.Exilon, 35 wrote:So, my top 3 scum reads:
Excedrin - for seemingly changing words around, and apparent tunneling. Also he wasn't present during Day 1 which adds to the fact there is little information known about him.
Popsofctown - For reasons stated, for his general behaviour on Day 1, his hammer vote, and not much content. Still, countering this is that most of my reasoning and questions were answered by him, albeit not very sactisfatorly.
Horrordude - Not much content, and his behaviour at the end of Day 1 which didn't strike me right.
This was after I put him third on my scum reads list, after pops and horror. For some reason, I don't like the "lol". Feels like he's trying to brush it off while still inquiring.KageLord wrote:And lol what's the reasoning behind me as your 3rd guess?
More evidence. My suspicion wasn't even that much; I hardly even mentioned it (I just said I'll have to look into kelikar's and horror's posts in more detail). I don't see horrordude0215 doing this, even though he is in roughly the same position.KageLord wrote:And as for skert's suspicion on me and horror, I can tell you that I know kelikar wasn't scum. Not that you'd probably believe me. XD
If your problem with him was the lurking, then I don't know why you would still suspect him. After all, I'm pretty sure I haven't been lurking for the couple of days I've been in this game. And if kelikar had been razor's buddy, I don't know what he would have gained by not voting.
Poor reasoning here, I feel. razorback was never considered "townsie", so to me it is very reasonable to bus him early. That is probably what I would have done. Also, kelikar voted for him third, which isn't that early. To me, hammering him at the end isn't really scummy. That is why pop's actions didn't feel right to me as mafia. (Unless he's pulling WIFOM; I have to consider that). It just draws extra attention to oneself. In addition, I'm pretty sure I haveKageLord wrote:Sorry for double post. Just realized that kelikar did vote... for razor. Now that still wouldn't seem suspicious to me. Maybe if he had held out then hammered at the end, he might seem scummy, but he was one of the first to vote him and stay. I have never heard of a scum strategy to vote early on your teammate... especially if he's a newbie who might just blurt out something like, "Hey man, why'd you vote for me? I thought we were a team." I'm pretty sure razor would have been pissed if it had been his teammate who did an early vote.
Uhhh... I was not aware that a townie trying to prove he's not scum was called defensiveness/guilty conscience. Maybe I should just not defend myself in the future? O.oKageLord's defensiveness/guilty conscience
lol at your read into my lol. Sorry. Had to mention it. xPThis was after I put him third on my scum reads list, after pops and horror. For some reason, I don't like the "lol". Feels like he's trying to brush it off while still inquiring.KageLord wrote:

The gist of it was that you made a case against popsofctown but didn't vote, then expected scum to be opportunistic and hop on the wagon. It should be obvious why that plan catches town (possibly only newbies?). They read it and go, "yea that case makes sense, Vote X." You'll also sometimes catch noob scum this way, it depends on context.skerterg wrote:Now, to Excedrin: Yes, Red Star said he would be V/LA until 10th/11th. And please explain when the technique would catch town.
re: post 371 I did read it before, I'll post more detailed thoughts later, for now you might be on to something...skerterg wrote:Also, your questions make me feel like you didn't read my post. If you didn't, I talked a bit in it about how I saw kelikar tied to razorback and some scummy things he did. If you did the read the post and want me go into more detail, just ask.
I have a hypothetical question for KageLord, lets say that popsofctown was lynched and X was nightkilled, survivors would be some combo of 4 of these players and yourself:KageLord wrote:Well, I think as a town our votes so far have been on the right track. I could see some reasoning behind each one of them. Even if we get a wrong one on this day,I think we have narrowed it down enough for the survivors to get the right one tomorrow.
Okay, so let's say pops is lynched (and turns out not to be scum) and I'm nightkilled just for this argument. I would say that this does look like town could actually have a high chance of winning. Since I think our main hunter is skert (though he could just be smart scum), if he knows he's not scum, he would have 4 people to examine. And I would personally not really suspect Excedrin, so it's more like 3 people. Red Star might look more suspicious at this point for still being alive, but that could be a prolonged WIFOM risk.Excedrin wrote:I have a hypothetical question for KageLord, lets say that popsofctown was lynched and X was nightkilled, survivors would be some combo of 4 of these players and yourself:KageLord wrote:Well, I think as a town our votes so far have been on the right track.

Does that really look like an easy situation to you?
Your original post had said you were going to look at both me and Kelikar/KageLord, and then when your long post came out, you only talked about Kelikar. I was more concerned with why you more or less completely dropped your case on me at the time. Wouldn't you think that was suspicious as well?skerterg wrote:If you had commented more about my entire post instead of a very small, insignificant portion, then I would much less suspicious about your motives; the fact that you only talked about yourself didn't feel right to me.
This because I didn't post May 11th? Besides that rough patch where I was gone for a good bit, and that was partially due to me packing up my dorm room and driving 11 hours home and being exhausted, I've been keeping what I consider to be acceptable activity in this game. Most consider posting every other day to be fine, most mods don't permit a prod until 72 hours of absence.skerterg wrote: If pops really doesn't want to play, then a much more reasonable action would be to replace him, as we did with ahoda. Just saying.
I originally wrote that thinking that I could self-protect, because I've only read my role PM once. Then I read it again, and realised that I couldn't self-protect. So I went back and changed some things so it made sense, but it looks like I missed some partsExilon wrote:....Huh?
After Pops, Kage's next suspicion is me. The explanation he mentions is, in fact, there; but it's interesting how I responded to it and it was never addressed after, yet it still stands to base Kagelord's suspicion. Are you trying to make it look like you've been paying atention and have solid stances?KageLord wrote: Yeah, I would have to say my next suspicion would be Exilon. I explained why in my last or second last post, I think. After that... no real suspicions. Though, I would still keep an eye on Red Star.
I don't know why this reads like "After Kagelord is dead, you're next", which seems to transpire with certainty of Kagelord's alignment (and mine.). And if that is so, why are you voting him? Also to note I can't find any reason for your vote in that post.Excedrin wrote: (Exilon, don't think you're off the hook, consider this a temporary reprieve)
And why would it be suspicious? This question doesn't seem much relevant.Horror wrote: Wouldn't you think ["dropping the case"] that was suspicious as well?
It's a contradiction, IMO... He says he's suspicious of both me and Kage, and then he only analyzes Kage, without giving an explanation as to why he was ignoring me.... I find it scummy.Exilon wrote:And why would it be suspicious? This question doesn't seem much relevant.Horror wrote:Wouldn't you think ["dropping the case"] that was suspicious as well?
Oh yeah, I kind of mentally responded to that post but forgot to post it. By "wagon", I meant suspicion wagon, not vote wagon, since as you said there were no votes. I just found it odd that you would vote first out of us, despite not having voiced suspicion of him for a while. Skert and I apparently were going to wait for him to respond to our suspicions before voting or whatnot, so I didn't see why you'd jump ahead and vote. But you are right in that it isn't so scummy, which is why you're a far second in my mind. It doesn't even nearly mean I would vote for you.Exilon wrote:After Pops, Kage's next suspicion is me.

Also, it was more in reply to KageLord:popsofctown wrote:It's not laziness so much as disinterest. I'm just not into this one, for some reason or other. Might be the wallposting, might be that I read razorback so poorly day 1, but I'm just not enjoying this game when I come to read and post in it so I'm doing so less.
If he is town who doesn't care if town wins or not, then hopefully he would have the courtesy of allowing someone else to play. That's it, pops; I didn't say that because you didn't post for a day.KageLord wrote:But how useless I think he is to town now that he has lost interest, 99%. Since he's at L-1, clearly I'm not the only one that has suspicions about him. Even if he is just a town who doesn't care if town wins or not, he is only hurting our chances.
