Linkzmax said: Noctis returns and acts very townish with his first post. yay Bong, which arguments can be proven? With luck you'll be scanned(or killed) at some point, which will avoid a mislynch if you are town. About your feeling. What do you think the attention is being diverted from? |
Any argument that is based on exsisting posts, either in this thread or somewhere else can be proven. For an example look at HappyDolphins claim that Radishhead flipped his position within a few hours. That can be proven by showning links to posts that clearly demonstarte his point.
Your ongoing case against me is based on what you think I am capable of thinking in my head, there's no way you can point to any concrete evidence to show that I couldn't and there's no way to show a printout of my thought process to show that I acctually did. What I have been thinking can't be proven either way. It's all speculation on your part.
Your case against me is as losly founded as if I were to say that since you don't understand the difference between an argument based on hard evidence and speculation then I don't think you could have come up with your current push against me, so you have to be scum. It would be ridicoulous reasoning, but just as solid as what you're currently engaging in.
And my feeling is based on what seems to be overly pushing an agenda that is basically just some speculation. That makes me think that maybe HappyDolphin was not completely off when he said you would be threatened by players displaying deductive thinking skills, he even sort of hinted that a push of some sort would be coming. It started with my speculation that SethNintendo could have been coached by scum to act the way he did, since then you've been all over that point and Seth has all but disappeared.

"radish contradicted himself" is not much of an argument, though yes it can be proved. "radish contradicted himself because he is scum" is an argument. The counterargument is "radish contradicted himself because he is town and terribad." Neither can be 100% proven or disproven without his flip. Out of curiosity, what do you consider arguments that are based on disproven premises?
Yes, it's speculation. Wouldn't be enough for a lynch any Day besides toDay, and you are safe toDay as I ascribe to the rule of not lynching newbs on Day 1. You are probably the only one I'd hold that to since the others aren't even trying.(Yes, even Seth if a majority wanted his lynch, despite my thinking he's town)
I understand that it's very difficult to show proof leading up to a theory, but as I said you rightfully left out Rol's post which explicitly would let first-timers off the hook. And as I said earlier to pointing that out, Seth's response to it destroys the idea of scum [secretly] coaching Seth.Another "defense" you had is thatif you were scum you wouldn't have slipped about something you were coached on. But missing thge Rol/Seth posts, confusing Seth and I, and time-travel quote all prove you can make mistakes.
If I was scum and did consider you a threat, trying to build a case against you Day 1, when you're basically unlynchable, is the worst imaginable strategy. Killing you is far easier. Anyway, you're saying that I removed the attention from Seth and brought it on you? But the attention also must be on me as well. If you flip town at some point it puts a spotlight on me. And if I'm scum and flip at some point then Seth will be staring at the torches and pitchforks.

Seth's response (which you hyperlinked) wans't an answer to Rol's post about first timers being off the hook, but about the "sit back and watch" approach being dispicable. It does mean that first timers may want to sit back and learn, but it doesn't mean that they are off the hook, it just means that they are off the hook when it comes to a "sit back and watch" approach. A lot of this logic is icky.
In terms of it writing off the idea that he's being coached, I'm sorry but there is no easier tactic to have as scum as to say "I'm sitting back and watching because I know nothing" when scum already prefer to say the least amount possible so as to make sure not to let the cat out of the bag.
As for the argument that bong is not stupid because he makes mistakes, that is a great way to make someone feel good about being incorrect. The truth is that he wasn't incorrect on the points you highlight
1) Missing the Rol/Seth affair. Apologies if I misunderstood but what Rol's "we don't pick on the newbies day 1" have to do with scum newbies being coached?
2) Where did he confuse you and seth exactly? I've been following the convo and I haven't seen that personally.
3) What is time-travel quoting.
Yet again a post you make that feels like you're building a big case out of thin air. Just my gut screaming at me is all.
Regarding you getting spotlight on yourself for putting a bad light on Bong and the risk of post-flip guilt, you are fully aware that you could mangle your way out of that. Of course you won't get him lynched on Day 1 given how people have verbalized against that (though I was new day 40 and that didn't stop town from lynching me either), but you can certainly cast suspicion on him to build up a case as the game goes on, and hopefully even waste town actions on him.
If everyone votes for a player to be lynched, you'd never be to blame. Also, what kind of scum would kill a player he's put suspicion on for a whole day, and who would logically argue that?
