OK - my last post was 105 on Page 5. I'm reading from here.
Crub responds to my post. I'm not going to reply to it yet because the game has probably moved out of this stage, unless someone wants me to comment on something in particular.
Sir T would want to lynch YB because of policy. I have seen this discussion before in an ongoing game. My opinion is that policy lynches probably are a bad thing for the town.
Jex does a PBPA on Crub. He thinks Crub is slipping under the radar too much. Crub's reaction is that Jex has been inactive too. This is deflecting, not defending (as later pointed out by Samruc).
Simenon says the person he is voting for is not necessarily scummy. Later, he comes with a vote on Crub, and again he states no reasons.
Sammich replaces in and thinks EmpTyger is scum, votes him. He says "I'm sorry Emp" which sounds a bit weird.
Post 152 is Crub trying to respond to Jex's statement mentioned above. I'm not going to quote it here because all the quotes would make my post too long, but I recommend you to check it out by clicking the link - this post makes me want to vomit.
Post 162 is another post without any defense and full of WIFOM. I think this is comparable to the appeal to emotion.
SirT asks whether anyone has played with Simenon before. I have, in the notorious Mini 431. I was a vig, he was scum. I thought his playstyle was weird, it was VERY hard to get a read on him. He managed to build good cases, though. I had a bad feeling about him, but couldn't give any proof for it. "Eccentric" would a good description, I think.
Lemming points out Simenon's weird playstyle. Simenon replies with "Lemming can be next."
Sir T points out Post 162 and is against Crub. I have completely lost track of the vote count in this stage of the game, and apparently so has Sir T, as he votes and then unvotes Crub.
Simenon conitnues the weird play. He says "I might just have a reason for my methodical bandwagoning". If you do, then why don't you just say it right away? Simenon keeps going the sarcastic way and, in my opinion, is making a fool of himself. In the Lemming-Simenon discussion, I have to
unvote: Lemming
. His reasoning seems solid and genuine.
Post 194 is a first decent post by Crub.
Simenon insists on not giving his reasons for his bandwagoning. He's looking bad, if you ask me, but
Post 204 seems to be some kind of a turning point where he says he is experimenting and tries to attract opportunistic scum. Actually, what he is doing, is make himself look like opportunistic scum, and then you get to the "too scummy to be scum" argument as pointed out by Sir T one page earlier. If you go on with this point, a lot of WIFOM is going to get involved.
Shanba says Simenon doesn't deserve the 2-vote "wagon" on him.
Samruc makes a case against Sammich. It's a pity we can't abbreviate a nick to "Sam" in this game, btw.
Shanba,
why are you completely not considering Crub and Simenon in
Post 217? At this stage, they seem to be the most likely lynch-candidates, but you seem to think it's more between Samruc and Sammich.
Sammich says he doesn't think Samruc is scum, which is a contradiction when compared to his FoS in his previous post. He points out a contradiction in Shanba's posts and votes him.
Simenon keeps up the weird play.
I don't think the case against Sammich is really big. There seems to be a lot of following involved. Sammich's case against Shanba wasn't too bad (it's not good either, but I don't consider it to be OMGUS like many do). I don't see Sammich as the most scummy player so far, at all.
Sammich: I see Lemming's question as very normal question, to be honest. Not every post with your name in it is trying to get you lynched.
My conclusions from this are: Simenon seems scummy, but I think this is more or less what he always does. I want to give him at least one more day before I want to see him lynched. That makes Crub my preferred lynch for today. He is at L-1 right now. I am refusing to hammer him though, because of this reason: I haven't been in this game for more than 2 weeks. You haven't been able to get a read on me, it's like I'm a replacement coming in. Whenever a replacement comes in and hammers someone, it's scummy no matter if the hammered player is town or scum.
I totally agree with the Crub lynch though, if it were to take place, so I'm not trying to escape the responsibility. The main thing I hold against Crub is his reactions to the small case that was made against him. Post 194 was decent, but why did he have to make 152 and 162 first, instead of being clear-minded from the beginning?
