In retrospect, no, I don't believe it was. I was very annoyed by the BW at the time, and the timing of the BW and the non-vote post that supported it looked suspect to me at the time. But, no, I no longer believe it was a counter-wagon. As for Rob, his posts have read more town...the only questions being that he is still alive after claiming tracker, and that while his claim to have tracked Ash may be true, it could also be convenient. Again, though, his posts otherwise seem to lean more town. As for penpen, I've already stated several times that he is either VI or Scum and I'm still trying to sort out which it is.
Now, let's get to the rest of subs post, which seems to bring to a head a trend I've noted in subs' posts against me...that of trying out a point, then redefining terms or twisting reality in order to make a wrong point "fit" his case...some examples here...

Now that you have to recognize that my V/LA makes your point less valid about why I voted "late" in the tally, you now want to redefine the terms of your complaint as state that I should have simply posted an immediate vote D2.
subgenius wrote:Clearly, you didn't want to do it (OMGUS) because you thought it would look scummy, not because you feel it's unhelpful to town.
This is another example of you redefining things...you call me out for not OMGUS'ing, I point out I've been consistent in my stand whether you like it or not, so you simply redefine things to imply a motivation for which you have no evidence...because you are making it up. To reiterate, I think OMGUS voting does not help the town, I thought it was bad enough that it was actually a part of my case on EA, and I still refuse to OMGUS vote. If you think that you should vote for me because I don't like OMGUS voting, that's your right...but don't try to twist this into something else while you're at it.

What part of my posts this round looks like I'm "refusing to engage my accusers"? There are a lot of things you can say about me, but "refusing to engage my accusers" doesn't seem to fit here....and once again you are trying to redefine things when you are failing to make a point.

1. I did give an example of your pandering:

If you wish to follow it, remember who took you there.
THIS is your idea of "pandering"? Really? My simply stating that if someone BW'd me out of the round that you should remember who did it? Wait, I thought I was "afraid to engage my accusers", but HERE I'm "pandering" when telling the town to remember them when I flip town. You are not making a simple, straightforward case, but rather a series of unconnected and even contradictory arguments.
subgenius wrote:If you want to say it wasn't OMGUS, because you didn't vote, fine. We can make up a new name for accusing your wagoners without voting.
I'm sure you CAN make up a new name - you've been redefining things all through your case.
subgenius wrote:3. It's easy to make a case and hop aboard. Just writing up a case doesn't mean you aren't sheeping.
Once again redefining terms. Before you accused me of NOT making cases...now you have to admit I AM making cases, but you still want to call it the same thing you did before so now it's "making cases-style sheeping".
Sub - you still could be an overzealous townie who can't see past the flaws in your own points. What you definitely are doing is making points that don't hold up, then you are either redefining the terms, implying motivations to my statements that aren't there, or are making contradictory points in an attempt to shore up the original flawed argument.
1. I have consistently made a case with each vote, either in the post of the vote or before. You may not like my cases - in fact you may completely disagree with them. But that doesn't take away from the fact that I AM making cases when I vote.
2. I have a consistent dislike for OMGUS, using it as part of a case, and refusing to OMGUS vote even under high pressure from you to OMGUS. If you disagree that OMGUS'ing is bad, that's your opinion. What I cannot understand is how you can equate refusing to OMGUS with scum. That's your point to make - but I don't believe it is a point that holds up to scrutiny.
3. If you want to hold me up to scrutiny, fair enough. If you want to vote me, that is your right in this game. If you want to keep redefining reality to make a point, I reserve the right to call you on it. Again, at this point I think you could be an overzealous townie - what I know you are is wrong when it comes to your accusations.
