because voting for rayfrost or toxic is confusing. So better off with a rand.
Finding your own path is good, young Padawan. But, why is it confusing? Is there a particular reason it's difficult to form a stance on them?

That's how you do it, folks.
Making unneccessarily vague posts is the key to victory? I'm not quite so sure about that.
toxic wrote:There's nothing to explain. I was acting silly. RayFrost was doing it, nobody cared. I do it and I have to explain myself? That doesn't make sense. And do you know what it means when things don't make sense?
Were you being silly because RayFrost was? Also, if you don't like being asked why you do what you're doing, I expect you're not going to like this game. The other players in this game are trying to understand your motivations. Additionally, can you offer evidence for why it makes a person more likely to be scum if they don't make sense to you?

Actually, I'm fairly sure Tu Quoque Is more of a "You are a hypocrite, so anything you say is automatically wrong." He was saying that because RayFrost was doing it without consequence that he could do it as well. Similar logical fallacies, but not exactly the same. I would also like to point out that this is getting a bit into "srz bzns" as Dekes had said, and it's the first day in a newbie game. All that said...
UNVOTE, VOTE:Toxic
If you're concerned about getting into "srz bzns" and defending Toxic, can you explain the thought process behind voting him? You seem to be fence sitting.

Is there a reason you can't be voting/pressuring someone else? What are your thoughts on the "proceedings" thus far? How sure are you, exactly, of Toxic's guilt?

Kitty > Casting my vote wouldn't be simple pressure, it would leave him open (if my/our suspicions are misplaced) to a hammer vote. It's far too early to be confident enough in my suspicions to bring it to L-1.

Exactly? 76.34% at time of writing. If I must cast though, then I will, but as I said, I am not one for leaving it open to a hammer..

I asked (or meant to ask) why you're not pressuring anyone else if you think he's being adequately pressured currently.

I'm surprised how certain you are. Can you explain the top 3 scummy things he's done?

1: In my eyes a major implication of non-public knowledge in #47. Seemed like an error, tipping his hand the wrong way somewhat.
2: (WIF)OMGUS vote, coupled with getting rather defensive, rather fast..
3: Claiming shenanigans. Apparently trying to get a wagon rolling and denying it with a cry of "but I only mentioned your name once!"...

Not really
because
he was, but just because I felt like it, too. And no, I'm fine with them asking questions. That wasn't my point. All I was trying to say was that, yes, while RayFrost had some votes, he wasn't given the same amount of heat as me for being silly. I'll admit, I might have taken it a bit too far.

It was a silly mistake that I won't make again. Again, I apologize.

I just don't think scum would be stupid enough to say 'no, I know he's not scum'
However, I admit that's a wifom reason

therefore I approve of the toxic wagon. However, I'm still cool with the frost one for now (cool, frost geddit? xp)

anyways, you might want to explain yourself, toxic

'cuz I'm town' has no weight in a game of mafia

there was no reason to tell us that you're town so early unless you're paranoid scum

on a new topic, what is your opinion on toxic?

"well frosty did it too" *walks off*

yeah, that hardly stops you from being scum now does it?

Mudslinging = scumtell
Mudslinging = scumtell indeed. That's why you're scum. Well part of why. The other part is the mafia role PM sitting in your PM box. That's a pretty big scumtell too.

Here's how you're mudslinging:

You're going to great lengths to point out how toxic is scummy but are maintaining a vote on me while fueling the wagon on him when you're vote on me is essentially a vote based upon what is no reasoning whatsoever that could possibly be considered in any way serious (unless "lol emotional blackmail" is srs bznz, in which case you've got much to learn). Keeping a Serious-RV (a serious vote with RV-level lulzreasons) on someone when you're going to rather mentionable lengths to call someone else scum = mudslinging.

So yeah, twistedspoon is scum not town. Toxic and xanatos are probably town, kittymo is still
sparkly kitten, x aligned IC.

True.

Actually, there was and is. Aside from the fact I'm town, ofc. There's also the this thing called reaction fishing. Learn it. Live it. LOVE IT.

Prob-town because you're prob-scum and the fact the wagon shot through full steam ahead choo-choo with no resistance before me based upon relatively spurious reasoning.

So you find me legitimately scummy based upon my joking posts that happen to also be attempts to fish for reactions from those that can't read humor over the internet. Cool. Great reasons, truly astounding, etc.

Mudslinging = scumtell
Worth noting:

Misrepresentation = scumtell

Mudslinging is not what toxic did. He was making a rather good point (if inaccurate) of "he and I did the same things - how am I scummy when he isn't?" Mudslinging would be an attempt at trying to move the topic and suspicion towards me based off of it, which is what he didn't do it. So yeh. He didn't mudsling, and misrepresentation is a scumtell.

Choo-choo on teh spoon.

Hypocrisy there for you

Fixed your spelling on hypocrisy for personal sanity.

Saying I think you're scum isn't necessarily equivalent to calling for your wagon. The difference? I'm not demanding other people vote you. I'm explaining why I was voting you (though I forgot my vote...)

notrly - my point about you was not just the whole you aren't voting him schpiel. Nice misrep there. You're getting more subtly with it, though.

lol. Bolded. Scumslip in your own attempt at calling me scum based upon still a complete lack of real reasoning.
