That seems quite vindictive. "Tough to read he is scum or town" or "His posts are tough to read because of the way he writes"?

[Elsa von Spielburg]

Considering I don't know any of these people... *shrug*. Your guess is as good as mine. Policy lynch away.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

How about you bandwagon lynch instead, iamusername has two votes on him and knows he's busted scum which is why he's hiding from our righteous vengeance.

@Elsa - So...you're "good" with don's policy lynch now? Why are you still voting him then? I would currently support someone voting you so I could bandwagon in and justify leaving this sweet two vote wagon I'm currently on.

Not really good with any vote right now, it's RVS so far. Not everyone has even checked in yet. I'm still voting him because I can.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

Do you feel his belief in policy lynches strengthens, weakens, or doesn't effect your vote at all in this instance?

I have no feelings one way or the other on policy lynching here, though it comes off kinda cruel when I've played IRL to the same person over and over.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

When I found a sprite of the 'real' Elsa von Spielburg, it was too good to pass up.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

This is what I get for trying to get discussion out of RVS.

Unvote: don_johnson
Vote: chkflip

for being the 4th vote on a bandwagon in a game halfway through page 2 and posing a largely unfair question at this point in time with such little data available.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

The question posed was: "Who is scum and why?" as opposed to "Who do you think is scum?" or "who is scummy?" Far too direct language for my liking.

And heck, the 4th vote on an early wagon is as good of a reason as any at this point in time, so my vote stands.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

Reason for Elsa - 'woe is me' post after having some votes on her. As though ending the RVS ever doesn't involve either starting a wagon on somebody or on yourself.

I can see how my post can be seen that way, though I meant it only as a throw-away, humorous comment.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

That's 5 votes, right? In that, Sparx distances himself immediately from chkflip when DDD brings those two up. Sparx throws some vague suspicion chkflip's way (leaves his options open) and jumps on the biggest, most obvious wagon. Best reason for me to vote so far.

Unvote; Vote: Sparx

Sparx, what post of mine are you referring to as "defensive mode"? I'd like to know.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

VCA?

[Elsa von Spielburg]

I am with Thor on Elsa. She seemed to jump quickly to defensive mode.

That was the entirety of your reasoning. Give me a post number, then, of the post that most damns me. Shouldn't be too hard.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

ok. you have called ddd town. which is entirely consistent with my "policy" regarding him. but whatever.

Okay, now that we've slipped out of the RVS, I'm going to have to go back on what I said about your policy lynch. I was okay with that being a BS reason for "LOL RVS Vote," but actually sticking with that vote when there's plenty of content now is a horrible, horrible reason to vote for someone. Isn't "Too Townie" one of this game's basic a fallacies?

Also, note that Sparx has dropped his vote on me then contributed nothing of value after. Lazy scum is trying to ride out the biggest opposing wagon by just going "I agree with Thor".

[Elsa von Spielburg]

d_j, I read your posts over and you've given all of 0 reasons why you think I am scum, just a simple vote justified by "competing wagons are good". Please elaborate. Does that mean you'd be just as likely to vote on any wagon? Either way, feels like a weak post/reason to throw out a vote on.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

unreasoned votes are not scummy

Out of the RVS? You've got to be kidding me. Willful failure to hunt or reason = scummy. You seem to only entertain two possibilities in your above post: no reasoning or bad reasoning. Sure, there will always be embellishments in some arguments, but THINKING isn't unheard of in this game.

All aboard!

[Elsa von Spielburg]

I think between Spark, d_j, and chk, there's 1.5 scum. Point a gun to my head to make me choose and I'll be bold and round up to 2 scum.

[Elsa von Spielburg]

Humbug. I'll look at d_j later. Still okay with Sparx.

That was my reason, anyways. And nothing has changed from him so it still holds.

Legit question to don: Are you implying we should hold off on our votes until there are more posts from Sparx?

[Elsa von Spielburg]

Seconded. Very little content, distancing Sparx, lazy vote on my wagon, and gave one of those scummy "o rite, catching up soon" posts that never yields catching up or analysis. "Active lurking" is the word you humans use?

Vote: chkflip

[Elsa von Spielburg]

Oh hai, so voting now?

Vote: ThAd

[Elsa von Spielburg]

Speak, then.

Unvote

[Elsa von Spielburg]

ThAd's confusion and going back-and-forth looks very natural and townie (I've done that kind of thing before). The role-resolution makes sense that d_j was forced to submit the kill and was blocked. Also follows with d_j's Day 1 play. Still don't buy his "voting to keep the wagons even". Hammer tiem.

IAAUN + DDD = ownage. Holy crap, guys, I'm glad to be on your side.
