Archaist:
You don't see any difference between "asking what the reason for something is" and "arguing that those reasons are faulty"?
And what did you mean in your very first post:

Kind of like your #55, a blatant attempt to start a wagon... for coming in a bit late?
if you weren't saying me and Rhinox were equal in any way?
Fishy:
What is your theory to explain kuz's behavior?
Fishythefish wrote:Your sole argument for this seems to be that kuz isn't a newbie to mafia, and therefore his site must have a meta of "claim at L-1" - which even this site only arguably has (I certainly wouldn't have claimed in kuz's position, and I'm sure I'm not alone there).
That's not my point at all, so let me clarify. It's not that kuz should have (or shouldn't have) claimed at lynch-1.
This is a player who claims that he is "known throughout [his site] for doing town gambits", on a site which "champions the 'townies never lie' type schpiel".
If he's heard of the terms "chainsaw defense" and he's familiar enough with LAL to refer to it only by its initials, I can't believe that he hasn't been exposed to, at the bare minimum, claim at lynch-1.
So the point isn't what the proper thing to do is at lynch-1 is.
The point is, why didn't kuz react to being at lynch-1?
Because I cannot in any way believe that a player who again is "known throughout [his site] for doing town gambits", on a site which "champions the 'townies never lie' type schpiel" is so unfamiliar with being bandwagoned to lynch-1 that too many players in this game are labeling him a newbie over it.
As for:
Fishythefish wrote:"Why shouldn't people assume malicious intent - it's a game of mafia?" - which is a reason to say that absolutely anything is scummy.
As I've already explained, this is directly in response to kuz's saying that we "shouldn't assume malicious intent". Ignoring my motivation, are you interpreting kuz as saying that absolutely nothing is scummy?
But yes, I was putting pressure on kuz, even if I wasn't voting him. Because I have 2 possible theories as to his alignment, and I wanted to narrow that down. That's not suspicious. And, if it is... what did you mean, then, with your last sentence in [74]?
Rhinox:
What specifically was it in Kuz's response which gave you the townish feeling about him?
C-Worl:
Ironically, I was just about to say I was ready to compromise on Archaist. What are you seeing to give you pause?

Assuming Archaist to be guilty, who do you think his partner might be?
