[Beck]

Nice fluff posting

[sorgster]

If there's anyone I'd consider PLing in this game, it's you, Beck.

Are you considering it? He's making this thread a one man show rant. We need everyone involved to hope to find scum

Unvote
Vote Beck

[Pine]

^Bad vote. Beck is vigbait, and what you're proposing is a policy lynch. Unless you can come up with a reasonable and thorough case on why he's scum, I won't stand for wasting a lynch on him when a vig bullet makes him just as dead.

If

there were anyone I'd be willing to PL. There isn't.

Each of my votes have had good reasoning, so while I may post a lot, I'm contributing.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

This is starting to stall a bit.

Okay, everyone in your next post, please list your top three or four preferences (not your top one that we've heard about ad nauseum) for

today's

lynch and a sentence or two about

why

for each. Again, preferably in new words an not the same ones you've used before. Rank-ordering is a plus.

No. Read my iso. My reads have not yet changed, and I've read the entire thread now.

Fencing's gay.

Don't

even

get me started.

I'll take this time to apologize to shattered, you pissed me off and I went too far.

I'll accept your apology, but you're still scum.

[sorgster]

We aren't going to get anywhere in this game with him.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

With who?

[sword_of_omens]

honestly, i don't think the ego matches going on are beneficial to town...

for the most part, I'm in agreement with ThAd on Sky...
looks to have popped in early, throw a Random Vote down,
Revote, then post an argument about town lists..

@Sky , what's your thoughts on Shattered so far?
Anyone sticking out to you more than others?

[Pine]

I've read your ISO, SV. This post...

Before you call my case bullshit, try making one yourself, until than you have no right to criticize my case.

Have a seat, get comfortable. Allow me to tell you a little tiny story.

Once upon a time, there was a game, This game was called Mafia. It involved an informed minority and an uninformed majority. The way you play this game doesn't really differ much -- on the surface -- regardless of which side you happen to be on.

Everyone is trying to catch scum. (Hush, now, even the scum are trying to

appear

to be catching scum.)

The Mafia, while trying to appear town and catching the scum, may (or may not) make some bullshit arguments.

It is while deconstructing these bullshit arguments that we, as Town, are able to narrow down the possibilities of who is scum and who is not.

Your case is bullshit. Therefore, you're either scum or a fucking idiot.


One scum found!

UNVOTE: beck

I've actually liked what Beck has had to say thus far.

Looky there!

Two

scum found!


Oh, and Beck? Here's some further proof of your scumminess/moronity:

@ sorg, I still stand by it

PL in general, bad play

PL of DK in general, the best thing town can do for themselves 100% of the time.

I don't get it. Is this opposite day or something?

I'm obvtown, why are you voting for me?

THIRD

scum found! I think I just came.

IM OBV TOWN

This is my read on beck

FOURTH---

no, wait. Slandaar's just dumb.

We also have a shut load of people who need to post, and others who need to post content and not nonsensical horseshit (shattered this means you)

Blow me, scumboy.

And funkybike isn't scum, just newbtown Lurker McLurkyman.

...is the only one that even masquerades as content, or attempts to give reads on anyone. And you don't explain them in any real way. This is not acceptable.

Why

do you suspect these people? How do their recent actions change your opinion or cause it to remain the same? Why?

I mean, the only reason you even gave for Revenus, who I have a decent Townread on, was that he was hearing Beck out. WHAT? That isn't even declaring him scummy! It's just saying "this person is stupid, so I'm going to vote him."

Add Shattered Viewpoint to my list of acceptable lynches/vig targets, unless a significant change occurs and soon.

[funkybike1]

VOTE: DavidParker

I only signed up to this game so I could lynch him. Help me out.

Consider yourself helped

VOTE: DavidParker

AND MY AXE!

VOTE: DavidParker

Good enough reason for me.

VOTE: DavidParker

UNVOTE:

There really doesn't seem to be anything clear cut either way here... But Beck is pissed me off

This should be good, how did manage to do that?

Generally dickiness. Sorry reasoning isn't long, meaningful and convoluted (or 'good').

@Admiral: Why does Sky need votes anyhow?

VOTE: Beck
Because he has no friends.

I don't need to be posting. My opinion isn't going to make a difference with these terrible arguments.

Assuming Rev, slandaar, pine are town. Probably sorg as well.

Zde not so sure. What have you got on pops anyways?
That being said, where is pops? Hasn't been around since his name first came up.

Amateur is keeping pretty quiet re his thoughts. Would like to here more.
Why still holding the vote on Zde?

More OC from Hiraki would be nice too.

I'm OK for a lynch on Beck because... Well I don't feel that needs an explanation.
No great evidence on anyone acting scummy enough to risk d1 lynch at this point though.

*** Rev makes me lol.

UNVOTE: beck
VOTE: Primal

Where you at? No content yet

So Becks back to his ranting again. That's cool.

Maybe if you explained yourself better, you might actually be able to contribute to these "terrible arguments" instead of just showing up every three days.

[funkybike1]

Also, I fully support the notion that I am newb town.

[theamatuer]

START POSTING THEN

[Pine]

Maybe if you explained yourself better, you might actually be able to contribute to these "terrible arguments" instead of just showing up every three days.

Tragic and scummy irony, thy name is funkybike1.

Also, I fully support the notion that I am newb town.

...Except that no one (that I can recall) is making that assertion. It is not a label you can give to yourself, or even really endorse for yourself. This is, by far, the scummiest thing you've said.

I now condone the wagon on funkybike1, though my read on him is far from airtight enough to actively support it. Happy hunting, gentlemen.

I'll accept your apology, but you're still scum.

I can't wait til I flip town and prove you wrong.

[ThAdmiral]

Its pointless voting funky today whatever his alignment

UNVOTE: funky

this is who I think is most likely scum :

VOTE: Hiraki

but ThAd is now firmly on my radar after his last post, that post seems really scummy.

Wow, an unvote and a retaliation. Didn't expect this big a response!

vote: slandaar

hes using information re the wagon on funky to try and cast suspicion on the 3 of us when we have no idea if the said wagon was scum or town, it makes no sense to do so in the way he is suggesting unless we know for sure funky is the vig... 3rd vote on scum seems pretty townie to me (i have no idea which vote mine was)

it reads to me like he knows funky is town.

Beck's response to this summarises my position quite well:

I'll say I think funky is not mafia, so someone pushing his wagon is scum.

the latter slots of a wagon are always more likely to contain scum. A scum is unlikely to be the first vote of a bus, and hammer-bussing winds up being silly obvious so the trend is towards the middle.

Further more, whether funky is town or scum, he's pretty derpy. It doesn't take Thad a special role pm for him to know you don't actually have all that much information on his slot. It's decent wagon analysis.

Thanks pops.

He's seriously hurting the flow of this game and regardless of his alignment, will accept any argument that is spoonfed to him if the writer simply praises him for good play.

How is he hurting the "flow of the game"?

If there's anyone I'd consider PLing in this game, it's you, Beck.

Are you considering it? He's making this thread a one man show rant. We need everyone involved to hope to find scum

Unvote
Vote Beck

"S" is for scum. Yet another person starting with s that's climbing my scum-chart. Good for you!

Btw, I have proven this wrong, so is Rev lying or just misinformed?

I'll let you figure it out

[ScreamingHawk]

This.

And if Beck is going to be schizophrenic though out this game, I'd be in for PL. Sure some statements are valid. But arguing them on the way he is, is help helping town.

@mod - Has primal responded to poke?

[Zdenek]

I'm tired of my vote pointlessly sitiing on Pops. He's still scum, but I can use it better.

Vote Slandaar

[Slandaar]

OK then ThAd lets go head to head today, you are scum im certain now

Wow, an unvote and a retaliation. Didn't expect this big a response!

What is scummy about that exactly? it seems obvious to me there is no point voting funky today whatever you think of his alignment so obv i unvote after his claim...

Beck's response to this summarises my position quite well:

I'll say I think funky is not mafia, so someone pushing his wagon is scum.

ThAd said previously:

Well obv sky is my main scum read at the moment. Other than that I have a bunch of town reads, and then there's a lot of other people who I basically can't distinguish because they haven't really done anything.

So, we can assume beck is a town read yet he does not use becks logic to find scum pushing the beck wagon, which is odd, truely, looking for any reason to get your vote on me first eh?

UNVOTE: Hiraki
VOTE: ThAdmiral

Lets go

Wat? I'm handing you scum rev on a platter and I'm being ignored cause of my fight with SV. How am I hurting town?

I said if rev doesn't flip scum, I'll die tomorrow

That's win/win IMO

[Revenus]

You'll die tomorrow why? Me flipping scum doesn't implicate you as scum.

Stunningly bad, OMGUS-y post. Stop it. You guys are Town vs. prob-Town.

You've gotta stop taking things personally, Slandaar.

[sorgster]

I'm tired of my vote pointlessly sitiing on Pops. He's still scum, but I can use it better.

Vote Slandaar

Sheeping now. Every time zdenek posts, he seems like scum.

[Slandaar]

I am not taking it personally, I honestly believe he is scum, i did not omgus the previous suspicions of me did I?
