What information has that garnered for us?
Are we any closer to finding scum because of it? Seemed like more of a delay to me.
Player's opinions on policy lynches is pertinent. It hasn't become such a source of conversation that it detracts from anything else. BS was a player that warranted some pressure. There are plenty of inactive players in this game, my vote was on her randomly at first, but after her vla was over it made sense to keep my vote on her in hopes of pressure. Other players felt that she was the scummier of the lurkers and pressured her as well. It's all moot now, but again, none of that detracted from the game. The fact that it resulted in nothing is circumstantial.
As for SF. I laid out why I was suspicious of her. I questioned her. I wanted to see how she reacted to see if my hunch was correct. To see if she made a slip or was legit. My feeling coming away from that interaction is that I cautiously consider her to be town. That's important, if a wagon were to be developed against her I would not jump on it for the reasons that players currently hold against her. I would argue that my interaction with SF was informative, and may have repercussions later in the game.

I was as guilty as others. My accusation was as much of a splash of water in the face of my own daze as I hope it was for you. And I find it awfully difficult to believe you TRULY think I haven't begun scum-hunting.
I understand. I just disagree that we accomplished nothing, and I bristled at your accusation that I was keeping discussion off topic. Again, what topic was I preventing players from discussing?
Bulvious wrote:Why are you asking this question to h3llo? It seems more of an observation than it is a question with the intent of garnering information. The worthlessness of the question is bolstered by the fact that you follow your question with your own opinion. It's a leading question.
Actually, I asked two questions, I never gave my own opinion. Perhaps the second question was a tad on the biased side - but I'm no journalist, either.
It wasn't the question itself or the fact that it came off as rhetorical. It was that you directed it at h3llo, and it was leading. The response from h3llo didn't go a long way to assuage the suspicion of buddying/partnership.

While the pressure on her was not the distraction you make it out to be, and was in fact appropriate, at this point you're right.
Bulvious wrote:Accusing you and Fatso? When did I say that? I asked if it COULD be so. I was asking what h3ll0 thought about it, and I find it odd that you try to invalidate my questions merely because they might not have the best answers in regards to you.
As I've said, the question was leading. It implied that Fatso and I are in cahoots to prevent town from useful discourse. You directly ask the leading question to h3llo, who agrees without question. Again, the appearance of a partnership grows.
Bulvious wrote:Needless to say, I find it VERY interesting how upset you seemed to get when my focal point changed to him from BS. You didn't even argue the credibility of anything I said. You just seemed to question my intent rather than fact.
Who you have your attention on is not what upsets me, as I hope I've made clear.
