it seems to me that just criticizing wonk shifts you to the dark side of his visible spectrum. You're just revenge "talking" cause you dare not revenge voting, but that's basically what you explain. "If you aren't scum I'm disappointed in you"

Similarly, people talking and not accusing you are trustworthy... that's a pretty basic picture.

So what about Moreno and prof? they haven't clearly put themselves in the vote or defend category, but surely that shouldn't prevent you from having an opinion of them?


Where is your critism of me? Where are your acusations? If you were to have voted that way on anyone I would tust you less.

There are a few ways I can see townies using votes properly. Voting because you want someone lynched. Voting because you want to pressure the person to do something be it show up more of anser questions, or pressure a person not to do something.

You're vote misses all of those. Your vote was a "I have no idea what linkz is doing but I will join anyway" You have then pretty much done nothing with it and you are now moving on to stefl.

Even with all that I said you moved to neutral. That is still far from my dark side and much of that is from my general opionion of you where I always thing scum.

Hat has used bad logic yesterday as I pointed out. Made connections with himself and ST he wanted someone selse lynched remember? and also the wording he made when he voted. That is all from day 1. He has done even more today like the bandgwagon vote. The fact people aren't jumping all over him just reminds me how in these games it is oftem more about who you are then what you actually do.

Linkz took his time getting on my dark side. It took him ignoring some things, brushing off other things and making some bad contradictory points to lean scum with him.

I have opinion on everyone as I am sure you do as well.

What are your thoughts on all the lurkers?

 

Well my post was about your comments on linkz more than on me.

 

But since you're asking for reasons for my vote, i'll humor you with something that will warant my vote on you all game should I wish to:

probably the best point made today so far heph

other things of the day

hat claim of cyclopse means little although his rush to vote instead of a hfos or hos is notable

the post that led to hats vote is also worth noting as is the post with the evil laugh

i hate posting by phone i will be able to bowwow a laptop tomorrow

Your second post of the game betrayed you.

Last game you killed me night one because you feared I was on you already, as is not unlike you, your early interactions with me were distansive... but surely, you'll have noticed  how in the dead thread I defined definite proof of your guild based solely on my death.

This round, your initial approach is so unlike you that it sprinted out of the thread and hit me in the eye. Fearing for my life, I dared not test you yesterday when there was but a feeble case on you. Today however is not day one, my pressure on you won't be cut by a no lynch and my throat will not be cut in the night as a result.

 

In short, you chocked when you saw you were scum again and decided to take a radically opposed stance to last game... unfortunately for you, it's also opposed to your usual stance as town, as confessed by yourself : "Even with all that I said you moved to neutral. That is still far from my dark side and much of that is from my general opionion of you where I always thing scum.".

 

What? not enough substance?

well let's add some more of the same:

 you don't talk about the game with anyone here about the game outside of here. (unless you are mafia in wich case you and they would have a place to talk at night)

This should be "You don't talk about the game anywhere else, period. (unless given a link to speak outside of the thread)"

I say that because nobody should be asking for help on other sites or even IRL.(though it's unlikely you'd know somebody IRL and not know they're on VGC) You never know who might read it or catch wind of it.


Thanks you did word that better.

I think it might be beneficial if you word how to use EBWOP better since noctis seems to not quite get it.

Not quite as complimenting... just presenting linkz as the perfect player that can explain anything to anyone perfectly, you know, as anyone would do of players they suspect in a game all the while parenting new players...

 

guess what, compliments in mafia to players you have a fixed stance on are tells.

An that is, how you taged yourself scum on your second post, Mr Llama.

 

 

(on the lurker question... Son1x is troublesome, Baal should act, I've quoted him twice already with no reaction and radish was at the ready day 1).

wow very interesting theory. wrong but interesting.

The connection is laughable. There is no such thing as bussing while simultaneously saving. Additionally, there's no chance that I throw a teammate under the bus when the day could simply idle to no lynch or focus could have been turned to you or a lurker.(none of which is confirmed flipped scum, and thus might have been an extra townie mislynch) And if I was giving him an out, then I would unvote after he first claimed to be a counter to the nonexistant role. It's almost insulting that you'd think I'd let him make such an awful fakeclaim.

So what else has you thinking I'm scum?

As for derailing, as prof said today, the more people are put under the spotlight, the harder it is to focus on just one. Just by calling my alignment into question you create opportunity for votes on me or for people to second guess my agenda with lynching ST.

I don't mind hat's bandwagon vote as it is where I would like people to be. I've been nuetral to town on hat since the begining. As stated, I wanted him to explain his change in stance on Heph, but I also feel good about Heph so for now I'm content with them both. You were already tunneling hat day one until I said you're playing better, so I'm wouldn't be surprised if you say you think he's scum. What's your take on Heph, do you still not really think he's scum?

Yesterday as in day one? Because I don't think you've said anything of note day two yet. And if you're talking about what I brought up in this post with respect to hat, then it was only harping on his own admittance to laziness. Null tell for me, hat grows apathetic as either town or mafia.

When you voted and made your points there was only one vote on him. You make the point that any good mod would have a counter to the role he says he though MDJ had. He gets another vote. He makes a claim. I mention my thought about your conection. He Gets 2 more votes. Then you comment on what I said and not even on his claim.  So although I do think it is very unlikly that you would have killed off a fellow scum I could see you doing it to try and get on the good side of the town.

Why else do I think you are scum? I must tell you I didn't think you were. I was leaning town. I was not caring about you not making any comment on my post on hat. I was ok on the possibiblty of there being a conection between you and ST. but your insistence that my mentioning how you could connect with someone as a way to derail the thread is perposterous and doesn't sound like something you would say if you were town. As for questioning your agenda that was the point. I didn't want to see you coming back after he claimed and say we should unvote him.

If you aren't scum I am disapointed in you.

Yes I think hat is scum was sure of it yesterday and the more he posts the more I think so. However he's also posts and keeps the game interesting so I would be sad if he were lynched. Although with how popular he is that would take some doing.

My regular mistrust of heph has returned so I am back to neutral.

FF and TOS are probably the people I trust the most at the moment.

You still can't have it both ways. It's either bussing or supplying an out. I've already explained why neither even makes sense, but YOU seem to be ignoring that. You're also twisting facts as ST only had two votes on him when he softclaimed a counter. Then I kept the pressure on. Then ST fakeclaimed fully, and finally Stefl made the third vote.

When you said "However it takes more than just a connection with scum for me to think you are scum." I thought you were saying you think I'm scum and you have more evidence that you've yet to speak of.

I did comment on your post on hat. But if you're looking for more analysis, than I will refer to FF's summary: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4288890

1. Null tell. You had been talking about pressuring Marcus so you HAD to follow it with a vote. It doesn't make you town or scum, but I still feel the base reason for anyone's vote on MDJ was weak.
2. I think it was overly defensive. TOS wasn't even attacking you, he just disagreed about what constitutes "pressure." Pointing at (1) doesn't make it a good defense either since it's a null tell.
3. You always seem to let hat get to you, so I do excuse the defensiveness there. Doesn't make you town though.

Your points against hat are valid, but whereas you say he's scum trying to frame you, I see it as hat trying to get something out of you or others.

I am not insistent on that point alone. It is coupled with the other distracting posts of yours which would only broaden the town's attention rather than focus it. Something which you have yet to comment on.

If you wanted to question my agenda so I couldn't unvote then you should have done it much sooner. Firstly, I did have time to unvote with the softclaim. Second, I was around after the fakeclaim because I wanted to gauge reactions to it. I wish I could use timestamps to prove it, but you let quite a while go by from your intial posts to pointing out a possible connection. You were also the only one to consider the claim plausible and wanted to give ST a night, something I wouldn't expect from any logically thinking townie.

 

Why isn't your vote on hat if you're so sure he's scum? I can't understand why you'd be sad to lynch scum, regardless of their activity level.

I will respond to this in the next few hours

I can see how some of my rebuttals could be viewed as brushing off points, but give me an example of ignoring or a contradictory point.

Also here you go again. You just finish explaining how you think hat and I are scum, and you want to broaden the scope to lurkers. They do need some prodding, but you are in no position to get it started.

I will get to this as well but actually i'm in a position to do whatever I want. I fully expect to be a mislynch by the town today.

Why isn't your vote on hat if you're so sure he's scum? I can't understand why you'd be sad to lynch scum, regardless of their activity level.

You did both more busing than not. I dont think you fully intended to have him killed I think you wre hoping there would be a claim that would have him be trusted but his claim just got him more votes and you were forced to finish busing. It is not likely but possible.

As for contradictions you complain about anything I do that could increase the pool of potential lynched for the day yet have made post that do the same thing. You yourself can't have it both ways.

No there wasn't other evidence for me to think you are scum even now when you have points that are off I have a much more town lean on you. I think you believe your points about derailing even if I think they are complete nonsense.

Hat is only trying to get me lynched. Soon he will have that I am sure. Then when everyone sees I am vanilla town, he will try and turn the town on you. Hopefully then you will actually look through all his post and see what I was telling everyone day 1.

I have been busy while playing this game and posting here and there when I can or many posts at night when I am free. I sometimes don't get to post on things until much latter even if I see them sooner.

When heph questioned me on not knowing who should be protected last night what I was thinking of replying without a killing role of a protective role I haven't given it much though however I could come up with some if I wanted to I just want to hear prof's singular opinion. However that would have been way to similar to your post by the time I could have posted.

I am pretty sure I have ALWAYS had the opinion that a person claiming a town power should be given a chance unless letting them live would risk loosing the game that night. I mentioned it because I wanted onest discussion of what would be better and what would be worse?  Before the end I was leaning killing would be better either way since even if he was what he says he was it would be a very long shot he would block a person with a day role and we would know imedialty that there was someone out there who he would have been set up to block.

My vote today is meaningless. You hat and heph made sure of that. I vote for him it would just be jumped on as revenge I vote anyone else it would just be called me trying to put the towns attention on someone else.  No one will trust my opinion until after my name gets cleared and the fasted way for that is my lynch :)

The only other thing you have done that made me suspicious of you was when you were talking about hat not being Jack yet also not being him yourself. That seemed almost like a slip but you are way to careful and probably have a reason for knowing what you know.

To epand further. I will say it how I see it today for I will not be here tomorrow. The lurkers need to be proded, you don't want me to say it? Too bad I aleady did? What are you going to do about it? Ignore the problem? Hope it will solve itself? I mentioned it day one and it had gotten worse since then.

Also something I didn't say before quoting a post but saying nothing about the post you are quoting, is not COMENTING in it. I am glad you have now since then and hope to see you do more after you kill me.

Enough of the talk about MG dying.

Why only an FoS for Wonk today when you voted him yesterday?(before ultimately unvoting)

Also any other suspects, and who do you think is town?

Well, I wanted even more evidence, and now with Truck's post, I'm about to vote for Wonk, but I'll wait a bit.

I currently don't have any other major suspects, I need to dig a little deeper.

And about town, Heph and Hatmoza seem like the cleanest ones for me.

just put the vote on now.

You worded your suspicion wrong that is all. When he said it it wasn't that he was trying to buddy up to me as he was about to die. What you should be saying is that he could have been trying to defend himself and as you think "a scum buddy"

I couldn't agree more here (bolded). This is nothing new though. Wonk has a serious problem of becoming warped when people are suspicious of him. Not in a good way either. The kind of tunnel vision that makes you want him lynched regardless of his alignment because they become a distraction ... and  their argument become desperate. All it took was Linkz  to lead off with a vote on him and he's labeled scum by Wonk. I don't necessarily disagree that Linkz is scum but Wonk is just everywhere.

I think I want to hear more from vette. Frankly, Wonk's posts are making my brain numb.


between this and you other post about who you want to lynch after my flip I am quite amazed at your... subtlety
