I think we should vote for Ermac, he's been inactive he's been nothing but useless, and the connection to FF is also something to look into.

Still want an answer to the question.What have you got to say to defend yourself?
It's not just Adum being weird with the Neighborhood deal. If no one remembers the weird stuff Rei had held against me regarding the Neighborhood...
like. wat. srsly?
I thought it was peculiar that he said something like this, but I dismissed it as being unfamiliar with the Neighborhood concept.
However, there would be plenty of reason for him to ponder this if, for example, HIS neighborhood had a separate goal.
Sort of, that was more a stupid little side discussion about whether a "neighborhood" is a type of masonry (which I still agree with), which had the side benefit of making it unlikely scum would guess I was in a neighborhood.So you pretended to not know what a neighborhood was to avoid giving the impression that you are in one.
Do I have that right?
One, you dropped out when you got pressured, which OS is right about, it is a very scummy tactic.Why?
Doubt you'll get many votes of confidence there.Each to his own!
You had spurts of activity, then randomly vanish under pressure and take no imitative to scumhunt. Sure you had heavy activity when you were active, but due to the long periods where you simply weren't involved, you count as inactive overall.Wrong.
You're really good at making assumptions, you know. For one, it's a lie the I've gotten the most heat (others were at a higher vote count at the time) and two there is no way you could know if I was just hopping on to another wagon because I've been accused, as you have nothing real to base that on. Read up, I've stated my reasoning for getting on his bandwagon.Sword dancer is where we should all be going.
But thats ok let him hop on the Vult wagon near the end of D1 after being a suspect without a lot of reasoning for hopping on it other then he's gotten the most heat.
gg.
Decide if you're gonna switch to your second choice first please, here's the loydown:i'm about to host a smashfest in a few minutes to get ready for a tournament tomorrow
sorry i can't play for 2 days
You should switch.I'm fine with Ermac as well. He was my #2 choice lol.
No, no I wasn't. YOU are, and the fact that you couldn't draw a connect the dots through my post and literally ignored my most important section (the one dealing which lynching needing to be used to its maximum capacity) is proof of that. You also laughably misunderstood half of what my post was actually saying. Didn't think I'd have to hold your hand to get you through it.Obtuse:
–adjective
1.not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not sensitive or observant; dull.
2.not sharp, acute, or pointed; blunt in form.
Yes, you were.
WTF does this even mean? Like dude, described it through my own lens? What? All I said is that YOU contended that the mafia have the OPTION of NKing inactives to minimize the amount of info we get from the NK, and you proposed it in a manner that tried to imply that the scum WOULDN'T do it by virtue of it being an option, despite the fact that YOUR OWN LOGIC directly supports the idea that they have all sorts of motivation to do it! You're talking out of your *** saying that what I did was anything like slapping "and thats what scum would do" on to a line and calling it an argument. I never did anything close to that. Try to have some substance when you make an accusation like that.Way to describe what I'm doing through your own lens. How about I just describe what you're doing and put ", and that's exactly what scum would do" and try to pass that off as an argument?
I didn't ignore it, in fact I DIRECTLY ADDRESSED IT AND MY LANGUAGE MAKES THAT CLEAR AS DAY. Go back and try reading again, maybe you'll get it.Or hey, how about we ignore lines like this:
I find it hilarious that you try to paint an inactive getting NK'd as this cataclysmic, awful occurence in a mafia game that cripples the town, but throughout this entire game you've been crusading for the lynching of inactives. You argued for LYNCHING them because they are dead weight, we can't get a read on them, etc. but all of a sudden all these benefits we get from getting them out of the game no longer apply when they get NK'd. You have a disjoint in your logic insofar as how you propose the marginal benefits vs. marginal externalities when it comes to inactives. Here's how your positive matter has been structured:It's not a difficult concept:
We have a useless town member that may or may not be scum. Having him around gives mafia two options at all times at Night (kill him, kill someone else), and while killing someone else might be more beneficial, killing the inactive is near untraceable. No doc ever protects an inactive, no one will track him, no one does anything inactives. Our best hope is for a vig to kill inactives, but we have no control over this or even know if a vig exists.
Saying "well this guy hasn't been scummy at all, let's leave him alone" when he doesn't post is a get out of jail free card. You lynch inactives when you don't have a lead. It's not difficult to follow.
I didn't say you were ignoring scummy activity. That would be a blatant lie. What you ARE doing is taking PRINCIPLE STANCES that prioritize targeting inactives for lynches OVER people with actual strong connections and scummy behavior.If you're trying to imply I'm ignoring scummy activity in favor of lynching inactives... my #1 is Vult, who is both scummy AND inactive.
How we somehow managed to agree on both my syntax and my argument boggles my mind. =PContention, nice word. I like it.
So let's look at your logic here:
Inactivity is anti-town (true)
inactives are not ideal to have around later in the game (true)
I'm going to re-word this for you:
Inactivity is anti-town (true)
Inactives are bad to have around late game (true)
But hey, like you said, it doesn't mean he's the best candidate for the lynch. There can be better candidates than inactives. Afterall, he's my #2 choice, so I basically agree with you on this point.
Newsflash: We DO have some strong scummy lynch candidates TODAY. Just because D1 is probably the hardest day to lynch scum doesn't mean you just admit defeat and automatically concede to just doing something like lynching an inactive.News flash: unless you have strong suspicions, you're shooting in the dark on D1 hoping for a scum flip. Chances are, whoever we lynch toDay will be town. It's rare you catch a mafia member D1. However, if you lynch a guaranteed inactive you're guaranteed SOME sort of boon for town. Plus it means that we don't have to deal with that inactive later.
Riddle me this:
Assume Ermac plays the same way he is now.
When would you consider the best time to lynch him?
But you are. That's the whole point. You've principally stood for this prioritization throughout the whole game. Go back and read your own posts and that much is clear. Your vote being somewhere that doesn't fall in line exactly which your principal stances doesn't undo all the arguments you've made.I'm not some zealot going after people who don't post. I want people to post because that's how you FIND scummy behavior. If Ermac continues not to post, we get no info on him whatsoever. He's dead weight and a dead flip if he's town. If he's scum, he gets a free ride if we don't pressure him.
Wait wait waitWait wait wait
You say keeping inactives around is good, because it gives mafia options? Are you high?
Mafia members don't have to follow a set pattern. They set the stage for us to figure out. If you give them a free pass for whatever Night they want, they can take it whenever they want.
I'm hoping you get it by now.Cool? I'm not sure where this came from.
*narrows eyes**narrows eyes*
If you have a list of mafia, by all means post them. Because otherwise, you're guessing.
This is the most laughable of all the stunts you tried to pull in your post.Whoa whoa whoa
WHOA.
Wait a minute, Mister hippo the crit.
So you've chosen Sephiroth, Adumbrodeus, and sworddancer....
and you choose sworddancer because he's the worst inactive
even though he's posting large chunks at a time
and then you go ape**** on me for having Ermac as my #2 because he's an inactive.
And in your last post talked about how you "weren't going to stand" for going for inactives.
I can see how each of your choices could be good lynch choices for toDay, but your reasoning for sworddancer shouldn't be "inactivity"... because he's not.
Lol, get off your high horse. I'm not pandering to you just because you think you've got me by the balls because you can make a big post filled with quip BS.I think you have good intentions with what you're posting, but you're putting on horse blinders and it's making you sound pretty **** scummy.
I wanna give you another chance, Flame. Answer my question the same way everyone else did. Two, no more no less, lynch candidates from you and your reasoning... as if no one has said anything about them before.
Why exactly do you want to keep Ermac alive, but push for sworddancer? I'm curious.
Well it's pretty difficult to make a lot of post sinceOf all the inactives, I'd probably say Dark_Ermac. In all the posts I've read (about 3/4 of all the posts I believe), I don't remember ever seeing any useful posts.
The other inactives (according to the "how many posts you've made in this thread" are Rockin, Meta-Kirby, and Sworddancer (I'm including those who have 20 or less posts as inactive). Looking back through the last couple of posts, I think Sworddancer is contributing, and from what I remember, I believe Meta-Kirby contributes some useful info (though... then again, to be honest, I can't remember many of Meta-Kirby's posts... I may be confusing him with someone else).
To be honest, I can't remember any of Rockin's posts. Gustave was very active, but... well, Rockin took over, and hasn't done much at all since.
So if I were to suggest an inactive I would be most willing for us to lynch, I'd probably say Dark_Ermac, mainly because I can't remember him being useful at all this game.
I'm replacing Gustave. Are you paying attention to the game at all? >:Unvote at least Exn is active, unlike Gustave.
Can you explain how Ermac is related to FF? I'm dying to know.I think if we lynch ermac we can see if he's related to FF. If not then good riddens he was inactive the whole game anyways. If so FF will be the best candidate for D2.
While I don't expect him to make a tom worthy post, I do expect for him to play a little better next Day.Do people seriously expect Ermac to make such an impact later in the game that would justify keeping him around?

They were both replaced, I was confused.I'm replacing Gustave. Are you paying attention to the game at all? >:

Unvote: Adum Vote: Sworddancer
Personally, I see no difference between Ermac and Sword. Actually I think ermac is worse, he said he's going to be gone for two days, the rest of D1. I could see that as an excuse if you were active, but after all of this time and he hasn't posted anything relevant. It's just considered coasting. FF is willing to lynch one inactive person but criticize someone for proposing to lynch another. It sounds like he's protecting the first one.So you seriously just want lynch him based on the fact that he's been the most inactive and he probably won't say much in the next two days?
He said he'll be more active after those few days. I'm willing to give him that chance. If he isn't lying then he WON'T BE INACTIVE ANYMORE.
If he still isn't inactive then we get on his case tomorrow and take care of business.
The point is if we lynch Ermac today we're gonna get basically NOTHING out of it.
Lynching Ermac JUST because he's the most inactive is like the worst reasoning of all time.
Why though? You act as if that logic doesn't work with your main suspect as well.
![]()
Because I'm not prone to lynching anyone that's my neighbor without a legitimate reason to him being scummy. (Yes, I am confirming that me and Ermac are neighbors). Tis my main reason for giving Ermac a chance.Why give him a chance? He's proven he's useless and inactive throughout D1. Why expect different D2?
What if he's absent during the time when you can neighborize? He will just be dead weight that will not only be holding you back, but the rest of the town.Because I'm not prone to lynching anyone that's my neighbor without a legitimate reason to him being scummy. (Yes, I am confirming that me and Ermac are neighbors). Tis my main reason for giving Ermac a chance.
However, if D2 (assuming Mafia doesn't NK him) he doesn't approve, then I wouldn't mind considering him as a lynch canditate. >>
Nothing I can do but just deal with it, if that were the case. Again, if he doesn't improve on his activity when D2 arise, then I'll be happy to lynch him.What if he's absent during the time when you can neighborize? He will just be dead weight that will not only be holding you back, but the rest of the town.
Actually, I was fully active during the time I was pressured earlier, and aside from the last two days, I'm here going out of my way to defend myself.One, you dropped out when you got pressured, which OS is right about, it is a very scummy tactic.
Explain how "ridiculous" = "scummy".Two, your early play to "get us out of RVS" was ridiculous.
I've logged in probably twice, maybe three times, to check up on this game during my absence.Three, you're still on the site when you're inactive.
I guess you forgot about the case I had going against you.take no imitative to scumhunt.
No, I didn't see it. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll respond to it in a following post.@Vult: Did you read my post 588? There I say way I feel like you lied. Your earlier posts imply that you purposely made scummy actions so to try to get reads, while I feel that is not so. Your supposed ways to get reads on others hasn't really gotten any reads themselves, and they seem weak and made up just to get pressure off of your back.
Is this worded right [just affirming]?I feel though that you've attacked others for reasons other then your "gambit".
I hadn't seen that post you pointed out. So you're right it's a tad unjustified. I take it back. p:Also I like how you accuse me of being opportunistic and then jump on my bandwagon, which is not exactly a hard wagon to be on.
Use whichever gender pronoun you prefer. Doesn't matter to me.What gender ARE you? >_>
Yes, this is worded right.Sworddancer said:I feel though that you've attacked others for reasons other then your "gambit".
I really REALLY don't get where this comes from. I left once, after pressure on me had dwindled to 2 votes from the original ~ 5-6 iirc.1) Vult Redux =

What type of switch is this? Jumping onto the closest band wagon? You literally provided no statement, opinion, or evidence for switching to me. why you changed your vote, this is an obvious scum tell.KevinM is always right.
Vote: Sephiroths masamune
You have no case and jumped onto a wagon with no reason, these are all scumtells. I wanted to vote off a inactive person because I didn't have a lead, but thanks for the scum activity.Yeah, totally.
Where's your hardcore pushing of an inactive lynch now Seph?
The flipside argument to this is that (at least I think) everyone is in a neighborhood, and no one would want to lynch their neighbor. Well... maybe not everyone...Because I'm not prone to lynching anyone that's my neighbor without a legitimate reason to him being scummy. (Yes, I am confirming that me and Ermac are neighbors). Tis my main reason for giving Ermac a chance.
However, if D2 (assuming Mafia doesn't NK him) he doesn't approve, then I wouldn't mind considering him as a lynch canditate. >>
You say you were fishing, but it wasn't much of a fish if you make yourself look scummy, I think your making up things as you go instead of following a plan as this post implies.Wrong. I wouldn't have jumped on the Seph wagon(isn't much of a wagon) unless I thought there was something in it. Your reaction here, coupled with your last 3 or 4 posts are strange. If you didn't have leads before, why didn't you listen to other people's leads? No leads and pushing inactive lynches (pretty hardly, my original idea behind voting you) is a pretty dam easy path to take. There's 18 pages of 40posts per page and you don't have one?
Voting for someone because they are pushing for inactives, isn't a good reason, IMO. Other people are pushing for inactives, you just picked the one who already had votes on him.No, if I'm implying I'm following a plan, I typed badly. The reaction part is just a notable thing. I voted you for pushing inactives very hard. I didn't give a reason because I was lazy.
Because he stated a reason and evidence, that's the difference.Also, why aren't you worried about whatever reason Kevin voted you?
