For those of you who keep bringing up the “xvart wouldn’t double bus / distance” (which is mainly Gammagooey) I’m going to give you a review of Rikana’s Day 1 and Day 2 play.
--
Day 1 – (post 792)
Rikana (who is an obv alt, IMO) votes YamiChan in ‘RVS’.
ISO 1 – In response to xvart’s question about alt status and whether he is trying to ‘derail the day” he responds with the following
Do I sense the wonders of opportunity in your text? Why yes, yes I do.
Unvote, Vote: Xvart
In ISO 3 he puts together a strange post where he tries to relate xvart’s questions to him to being broken up with.
Hops on the Yami bandwagon in ISO 7.
In ISO 9 (post 335) he says the following –
#182 is quite good with theory. It also makes my thoughts of xvart scum go away.
So he hops right off the xvart is scum wagon. What is post 182 you ask? It is a post from xvart.
In that post xvart, among other things, says the following –
Care to explain the disparity between these two posts? This is exactly what I was referring to when I asked you if you were just trying to derail D1. Also, I don't understand the relevance of your dating example. My opinion is even further justified by your whole "let's lynch her tomorrow if we have to" and your whole motivational speech directed at YamiChan followed up by a 180 degree turn and vote on her. Speaking of your vote, you had already identified YamiChan as someone who was going to flail and yet you say "dammit, I hate it when you're right" to CSL and vote Yami when CSL said "she's flailing and appealing to emotion." Can you backpedal more?
This is an attack on Rikana’s Yami stances.
FoS buddy, vote easy lynch townie?
Here he is attacking CSL (known Jester and not scum) for FOSing Rikana and voting Yami.
Pretty strong appearance that xvart things Rikana is scum.
In xvart’s immediate next post he throws all his suspicion away to vote Reaper. This is why I very much doubt that xvart wasn’t pushing Town Rikana. His ‘suspicion’ from that post on never returns in anything but soft form. And he pushs Reaper tirelessly. Given the flack that xvart got Day 2 from pushing on a post restriction for weak reasons (that ultimately got him caught as scum) he should have reverted to Rikana when resistence formed and gone after him if Rikana is Town.
But he didn’t. He pushed Reaper strongly in the face of his eventual lynch. It says to me that he was either going to ‘clear’ Reaper or himself by pushing that lynch and that his Rikana ‘suspicion’ was early distancing that fell by the wayside when Reaper’s troll-like play appeared.
Now, back to Rikana’s ISO …
ISO 10 - We get this little gem …
THERE'S A CULT?
CULT ME.
Pulling the same “cheeky scum” move that Reaper also did.
The rest of his Day 1 ISO is a weak vote for Inhim and one-liners.
Day 2 – (post 1074)
Starts Day 2 voting for Primate? The reason is that Primate said he didn’t counterclaim my ‘Vig’ Sekrit Partner claim. Which he found ‘odd’. Which makes no sense given I specifically asked for counterclaims.
Spends some time White-Knighting DK in ISOs 21 and 22.
ISO 23 – Here we have his response to the xvart wagon ..
I'll look into Xvart, but I'm still good with my Primate vote.
ISO 24 – More cheeky scum play
Can't hammer my scumbud.
sorry.
What does it all mean –
Both xvart and Rikana placed distancing suspicion on each other early Day 1 but moved off to other targets. Both xvart and Rikana never returned to those early suspicions – xvart kept saying he suspected Rikana but never pursued it Day 2 and Rikana blessed xvart with a Town read for post 182.
Like I’ve said – it looks like pretty blatant distancing to me.
"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"
Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.
