PBPA of Izak:
Attacks Jilynne for meta reasons he can't mention, that were obviously wrong since that slot flipped town. Votes Vifam but notes he's still "a few votes off lynching" as if this serves to excuse it. Maybe just poor wording.
Responds to ZeL1nK about his Jilynne suspicion. Null.
Asks Vifam "are you trying to get yourself lynched or something?" which is odd because Izak's vote is on Vifam still. Then brings up what I believe is the first mention of a jester in the game. The latter is pretty meaningless, but the first part is odd because it shows dissonance in motivation, i.e. "I'm going to vote for you to be lynched, but why are you trying to get yourself lynched?" Confused motives. Big scumpoints here.
Questions vollkan on his patented point system. Null, some people like that, some don't.
Post 323: "But scum claim PRs just as often as town, if not more, right? Does it really mean anything?' This looks like setting up a reason to lynch a claimed power role. Junpei had just entered the game (replacing Vifam) and had claimed Town Tracker, so maybe he's still tunnelling. Or distancing; Junpei was still in pretty serious danger although no longer at L-2.
Ouch, Post 368: Attacks Meransiel for lurking, which... if you look, Meransiel has more posts than most people. I don't agree with Meransiel's announcement that he won't play the first day, but I really don't see a reason scum would announce that and make themselves a target. My suspicions of Meran derived from later, when he was (imo) asking some unnecessary questions and fishing the vig; slight townread now on Meran.
Izak votes Meran though, moving the vote off Vifam (Junpei). But the real problem is here: "Junpei, you're being almost as stupid. Do you really think we have a jester here? Come on, jason's been here two years, you think he doesn't know how how much some people HATE jesters?"
Then why were you the first to suggest that there might be one? Why would it even occur to you, if it's so ludicrous?
In Post 485, unvotes Meransiel, demands information from Zinger ("you just softclaimed lyncher") and puts an FoS on Junpei with no vote.
Engages in some meaningless back and forth and then says "I don't think I buy Zinger's roleclaim. He could well be scum, or a dangerous third party. Even I'd he tells the truth, the fact that the town is the majority will mean he hits town more often than scum. I'm more than happy to lynch him on this, but if Meran won't hammer (why?), who will?" All this with no vote. Then fishes to see if Meransiel is a dayvig. Really?
Ah, never mind about the no vote, he does vote Zinger less than ten total posts later so that's a null.
Takes offense to Zinger's nasty comments. Null again.
Oh, hey, Pinky saw the same thing on the jester thing. Izak says he was quite obviously joking, but it really didn't read like that for me. In this long post (728) he also says it's not that he can't provide reads, he just hasn't put them into a list. (Why not?) And when pressed on his previous suspicion of Chevre, says this: "There was some focus on Chevre at that point. I was just making my stance known; how can that EVER be scummy?" Well, it's scummy if you're distancing, obviously.
Three of the last four posts from Izak are just classics of failure to commit.
Given the state of things righ now, I'd be fine with a Silver lynch, though I want to look into it a bit more before I place my vote.
@MoI well, now that you've outed him, I can totally see what you mean. I am still leaning towards silver more, but is there anything in particular that makes Andrew very scummy?
Thinking on it, I get some scummish vibes off of Rodion, but I'm not confident of this read.
I haven't played with Izak before and I'm sure that there will be a chorus of "Oh, he always plays like this!" However, I want to note that if someone always plays in a certain way then it's a nulltell, not a town tell and it doesn't confirm them as town. Therefore taking them off your suspicion list is a mistake in my opinion.
I still prefer Andrew as a lynch but I'm willing to vote Izak.
@Meran:
I think it was you who was appealing to the vig to shoot Izak, yet you've expressed that you don't want him lynched (working on memory here, please correct me if I'm wrong). What's the difference between lynching and vigging Izak in your view? Why that distinction?
Your eyes are weary from staring at the monitor. You feel sleepy. Notice how restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.
