@Kantrip, what makes you doubt that Rake and I are scum together? I think we could totally be the scumteam.
The quote that prompted my saying that is the one right above it. The one where you said "why are you trying to put Rake in a bad light?" I doubt a scum connection between you two with you so outwardly saying that. There's also how Rake initiated my early-game wagon and you joined it pretty quickly. This is a more minor point than the other one, but scum tends to not shove all its eggs in one basket for the sake of an early game wagon that isn't yet shaping up to be a lynch.
I hate this explanation, but it's a really risky one for scum to use, so I'm inclined to believe it. Still, what made you think that ending RVS quickly by getting a wagon started on yourself was better for town than just letting RVS end in its own time?
I agree that it's all too convenient for me to backpedal and say "lol I wasn't srs" to try to avoid or mitigate the pressure that built up on me, so I don't blame you for hating my explanation. However, I'm not a total newbie at this game, as bad as I may be at times. Don't you think it's more logical that I had a deeper intent (getting actual discussion going as soon as possible) than that I just jumped into the game with baseless and illogical conclusions/reads?
My reasoning is that I've grown not to like RVS much. It only exists because SOMETHING has to happen before serious accusations can start rolling. I didn't intend for a wagon to form on ME as a result of my actions, though. I actually hoped at least a few people would just roll with it and pressure Vinyl, or perhaps ask me questions which would advance the game. I mean, a wagon on me served just as well, so I'm not complaining.
His claim seems weird; I can't figure out the motivation behind it for the life of me. Other than that, I like he way he thinks. He certainly has a very different style from me, but he seems to be actively scumhunting and playing with town's best interests at heart.
I wouldn't worry about the claim too much, there's plenty of options as far as motivation goes there. If he's lying about the claim, it's probably to establish thread control and become a driving force (since he'll always have the threat of "if I don't like you, I can and will shoot you"). If it's legitimate (which I'm not ruling out, it very well could be), he's obviously not too worried about his action being tampered with and, again, wants to establish some semblance of power in the game. But yeah, thanks for the read.
[/QUOTE]What (useful) information could you possibly be hoping to gather from the answer to this question?[/QUOTE]
Town lean on Riddle. This exchange between him and Joker still has me disliking Joker.
Tako will probably end up needing to be verified, his push on Rake is WTFbbq and doesn't make much sense/isn't indicative of alignment. I can see noobTown based on other posts with slight potential for noobScum. Nothing is set in stone.
I was gambit'ing your slot with bravado because you actually tried vouching for your rationale with JD. A bit of an over extension. Even if I was gambit'ing, why are you trying to out it? Don't be dense. I'm 100% the 1-shot Vigilante this game and I have no intentions of retracting.
Vinyl's read on me is hilarious.
When was I vouching for my rationale with JD? When I asked him to think harder about my intent? That was me trying to see if he could figure out what I was actually doing. He failed that test.
I only said what I did about your claim when you threatened to shoot me. I won't question the validity of it any further, but I was merely trying to say I'm not threatened. I'd recommend picking someone else whether your claim is legit or not. Either way it'd be quite a waste.
Talk to me about Joker.
