Axel's
#46 asking about mass claiming for inactive players was trying to get a reaction out of people, which is null for them this early in the game.
Kantrip's response to Axel's post in his
#49 does not set well with me; “Why let them claim when we can just policy lynch them?”; how would that in any way help town? He passes it off as joking in his
#52 after Axel's Axel’s understandably suspicious reaction, but then throws his weight seriously behind a plan to have the inactives claim which seems purely illogical to me and his reasons for seriously considering it are lackluster.
OS' lottery doesn't set well with me, it makes it look like he is doing something when he is not and frankly it just seems worthless
The town alliance talk is just so strange, I really am unsure of what they thought they would get out of it, or if they considered the dangers of just blindly voting together every day and having it so structured. The best use of a TA imo should be to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, Kantrip and DH both seem like at this point they were willing to put their trust in Axel and just ride with whatever he said. DH's town flip infers that he might have been doing just that...but I'm still not sure what Kantrip truly thought he would gain from a town alliance either
Actually I like Kantrip’s
#96. He stopped drinking the kool-aid, started asking questions about what was going on and questioning the merit of the TA.
Overswarm’s
#97 is sooo unnecessary. Literally, the point of that post was this “I cannot in good faith force a player into a vulnerable position and, by a biased sample, choose who the Day is focused on, in a blind game that at best is fueled by logical fallacies and inadequate planning.
If we're going to force a claim, I'd do it by random lottery and only with myself being the chooser to determine authenticity. As this is the only acceptable stance at this point for anyone that wants a random lottery, it is not a viable course of action.
In short, it's a bad idea.”
Instead, he added a ton of stuff at the beginning for no apparent reason. It added nothing to what his ultimate point was; I still think he’s just posting with an intent to bolster his posts/fake content.
Axel’s
#133 points on us are wrong, but have decent reasoning behind them. I also really like the way he has been provoking reactions wrt to the TA, it seems like he is genuinely scumhunting. Lean town.
OS’s #141 is legit, I like it when people temper more extreme players and put into perspective the fact that people hadn't even posted yet.
RR's first
post/real post is calling for a policy lynch on Axel, literally one of the most active players in the game. Not only does it make me question what good it could possibly do but what in the hell kind of policy lynch? Which, he answers here in his
#224...which is a terrible terrible reason.
Orbo's response to RR's proposed policy lynch in his
#228 might be worse than the proposed policy lynch itself. I don't understand how any reasoning from RR would negate Axel's actions in thread which I don't think conveyed "dumb" at all. Granted, last game I played with Orbo he spent a lot of time sheeping, but I find this an illogical and random concept to sheep hence why it rings scummy for me.
RR's
#238: “Joey & Orbo: What of you think of Inferno's vote on me? It comes off as pretty slightly scummy as a reach vote but it's possible he doesn't see where my idea comes from.”
Asking opinion, then giving own opinion at same time that he gives that opinion in order to influence their thoughts, but doesn’t want to make too strong of a statement so qualifies it as “pretty slightly” scummy.
Joey not taking a side on the issue in his
#242. Fence-sitting, not good.
RR push on Axel is terrible, terrible, terrible. Followed by his proposal to start...basically another town alliance ;-;
Macman's
#262 and
#265 bring up subtle points that I really like, and he seems quite astute. Good first impression on him.
Kantrip's vote on Inferno in his
#267 is really confident ("obvscum"), despite not seeing any serious pressure from Kantrip on Inferno before this point.
I like Rockin’s
#274. Blunt, which is good, and he makes a good point about policy lynches being stupid despite the high number of policy lynches that were suggested early in the game which hurt my head immensely.
RR's
#278 I like better than his other posts, he gives some legit reasons for voting Inferno/X-1. Makes me feel slightly better about him after the terrible push on Zen.
X1 goes out of his way to assert to Zen in his
#298 that OS has been "clearly unplanned/spontaneous" and infers that this is a town tell for him. This seems suspicious after X1's flip, like he is trying to get Zen to lay off OS.
RR's revoking his gambit could just be a cop out, could be legit, hard to tell. RR's reasons for the gambit he gives in his
#326 are about the only reasons he could have for such gambit.
Kafkaesque's
first real post is wonderful, one of the few posts so far that I not only agree with, but is actually logical.
Not sure if KevinM posted before his
#340, but this is the first post of his I've noticed and I like it...more thoughts/opinions than evidence, but the points he made seems like he's looking for intent and working logically.
Bleh Kantrip's
#341. "In short, frozenflame is seriously scum. The time for joking is done. Serious time, starting now." I believe his vote was on Inferno before this, so he's admitting he really wasn't on Inferno for serious reasons which looks like fake pressure. Furthermore, vote on ff screams OMGUS.
Haha actually he follows up his #341 with this: "By the way, saying it's serious time doesn't mean I was joking about X1 being scum. Just noticed his vote on FF which I'm very happy for, but he can still totally be scummates with FF doing some distancing." At this point I really do find Kantrip extremely scummy, so its not suprising I don't buy this, I think he's merely covering his ***.
KevinM's pressure on Kantrip/calling him out on crappy reasoning in his
#362 is perfect and really well-reasoned.
Joey and Ran interaction's are long...gonna skip those and trust Ran on reading Joey.
Orbo's #383 shows he's still out in his own little world, really the only thing he does is unvote DH, and doesn't get involved in the actual discussion. Dislike.
. Posting to say I'm V/LA till thursday.
