I understand where you're coming from wrt the whole not getting reads from D1 schpeal. So, your vote is on th3 because you feel he'll be the biggest damper to town? Because it's in town's best interest? You don't feel that there are others that are detrimental to town, or is he just the biggest one? Just asking to make sure there's a clear understanding. Ya know.McFox said:So with that in mind, since I feel the D1 lynch is usually random anyway, I usually don't mind too much losing a player who's going to be detrimental to town. For now, I don't trust th3 all that much, so I'm leaving my vote.
You're confused. Just becauseKat said:If you claim that you were in a joke persona throughout those posts then how do you explain your response to Mayling? (#203). Was that also a joke?
The bolded says im not serious, doesn't mean I'm joking. I said what I said for a reason, and it was to smack the sense into Smash. Claiming would've been STUPID. Even you would agree with that. And I think Smash probz had at least a hint of thought about doing it. If he did, God knows how dumb he'd play the rest of the game. I think he knows not to do something like that now, so my tactic worked, whether he says it did or not.Gordito said:Yea, I feel confident enough about his alignment to talk about the subject now.
That was obviously not serious -_-. Anybody with a computer moniter can see that. I mean, come on, if he claimed, and it was something serious to get out of a lynch, he'd probz be NK'd lol.
So your stance was that, since you decided not to contribute for the last 24 hours you put a vote on someone at random. That random person already had a wagon on him, and even after figuring this out you choose to keep your vote there? Just because you dont really like the types of discussion going going on in d1 you would be willing to lynch anyone? Come on, thats almost certainly giving the scum a free NK.To be 100% honest, I had no idea that there was a wagon against you. I've been "playing" this game so far from my iphone, which means 1) I can't read any of Gheb's posts at all, and 2) it makes it way more difficult to remember who has said what, and when (since I check my phone sporadically, whereas if I'm on my laptop I'll read larger portions of the game at once and take them all in at the same time). I just voted you because why not? I don't see a huge reason to unvote you now.
While I agree that d1 is most likely a crapshoot, the fact that you have no suspicions at all and simply want to get D1 done asap is weird. Don't you think you should try to examine the player you are voting for before making a decision, especially when I already have a wagon on me? Going under that logic, it seems you would be alright with mislynching the towniest of the town d1, which certainly does coincide with our objective.To be honest, my stance is that D1 is almost always a complete crapshoot anyway. At this point in the game, a case could be made for pretty much ANY action that ANYONE takes for ANY reason. If someone is saying they're a noob, they could be noobtown or noobscum. If they do something scummy, it's WIFOM. There's always a justification for anything on D1. I have never felt confident going into a D1 lynch at any point in time, ever. Not confident that we've discovered scum anyway.
So you are saying you are fine with a mislynch, since its d1?! Come on now, thats terrible logic to play this game by and you know it. I cant tell if that is scummy or just plain bad strategy.So with that in mind, since I feel the D1 lynch is usually random anyway, I usually don't mind too much losing a player who's going to be detrimental to town. For now, I don't trust th3 all that much, so I'm leaving my vote. Now that I actually CAN read Gheb's latest posts, I like them. I think Gordito's probably town. Not sure on Swiss yet. His insight on Gordito is useful, but it could easily be coming from scum, so not really indicative of Swiss' alignment.
I feel like he could be a damper to town, therefor...Gord said:So, your vote is on th3 because you feel he'll be the biggest damper to town?
...therefor I don't mind having my vote on him for now.Because it's in town's best interest? You don't feel that there are others that are detrimental to town, or is he just the biggest one?
I mentioned several people I thought were town, and to reiterate, I feel like Swiss' thoughts on you are coming from a very neutral place. It sounds like he trying too hard not to step on anyone's toes while talking about you. I can't tell if it's on purpose or if I'm just crazy. I'll need to read up on others before I have a more solid opinion.Obtw do you, yourself, have any opinion on scum at this point? Whether it be, like, just a tad?
Do I need to call you the waaambulance because I didn't really post for 24 hours, on Thanksgiving (and the night before, where I also went to see family)? Despite you trying to demonize me for it, I'm not going to apologize for throwing out a random vote early on D1.th3 said:So your stance was that, since you decided not to contribute for the last 24 hours you put a vote on someone at random.
Yes.That random person already had a wagon on him, and even after figuring this out you choose to keep your vote there?
Did I say I'd be willing to lynch anyone? Perhaps you should read again.Just because you dont really like the types of discussion going going on in d1 you would be willing to lynch anyone? Come on, thats almost certainly giving the scum a free NK.
Did I say I wanted to end D1 asap? Perhaps you should read again.While I agree that d1 is most likely a crapshoot, the fact that you have no suspicions at all and simply want to get D1 done asap is weird.
This early on D1? I'm not too concerned about it. The chance of a quicklynch on D1 is pretty low (and yeah I know what everyone's thinking, but we're not going to talk about that; my point still stands).Don't you think you should try to examine the player you are voting for before making a decision, especially when I already have a wagon on me?
Wrong. Despite my last post using words like "random" and "crapshoot," I do sometimes feel pretty confident about town reads on D1. However, this has never happened for a significant-enough portion of people playing the game to where it made me confident going into the kill. Just because I'm not confident about a kill doesn't mean that I don't have any stances at all though.Going under that logic, it seems you would be alright with mislynching the towniest of the town d1, which certainly does coincide with our objective.
Mislynches are going to happen. If you really play this game with the mindset that you will never mislynch, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. And mislynches, while yes, a detriment to town, can still be useful tools for finding scum. So it's not just like a townie is erased from the game and our numbers get lower. Town can use mislynches to our advantage, too. This includes getting out players who are going to be a detriment to us, as well as finding scum on the wagons (or avoiding them, which is just as important).So you are saying you are fine with a mislynch, since its d1?! Come on now, thats terrible logic to play this game by and you know it. I cant tell if that is scummy or just plain bad strategy.
Actually, no, I can't. And I never said that I thought you were scum. I just said I didn't see any huge reason to take my vote off of you for now. Those are two vastly different things. And I still feel that way.You also say that you do not trust me that much. Can you explain the reasons why you find me untrustworthy?
Explain please? A mean... At the beginning of the game I laughed in his face when he brought up the idea of him leading town. Doesn't sound like a good light.th3 said:He has put J is a good light,
... really? I... talked CELLO... into voting YOU? I was NOT against you at the time. The thing that started my interest on your wagon was J's case. I told Cello that if he does what J says I'd kill his cat. He voted. I DIDN'T want Cello to vote.th3 said:joketalked cello into voting for me,
Does "Town read so far" make me paint him as ultimate town? He answered your questions well, didn't contradict himself. So I won't go back on my town read so far.th3 said:and now seems to be riding on the idea that McFox is ultimate town because of his standard counter argument.
Heh. Side with everyone... I'm pretty sure that AT LEAST Cello knows that I don't like "siding" with him (mostly), regardless of alignment. Telling a town read isn't "siding". And liking a case isn't "siding". Maybe, if you wanna have a fighting chance, you'll let Smargz post. I'm not liking you dude. Not a bit.th3 said:It seems he is finding justifiable reasons to side with everyone on my wagon so, when I flip town, he can give some BS excuse that his town read for everyone was so strong that he thought I would surely flip scum.
Vote Gord
Its fine with me. You will still appear in the votecount as th3smarginator though@ mod, since smarg is v/la can i post on this account and switch back to the hydra when she returns?
and losing*
Quickly (about to vanish for a bit):Im L-2 at this moment.
I would advise not going along with J just because she asks you too -_-, you have been barely playing this whole game.
@Swiss, reasoning?
"I would just like to point out while I'm under fire that SMASH HAS NOT RESPONDED YET! Scum-tell! Look at Smash! Not me!"I would just like to point out that the person my whole argument is based around, smashmachine, has not even responded to any of the arguments made against him or myself. Getting me to l-3 when seph, utd, and mcfox/mayling have not even contributed much to anything makes me feel there is scum on this wagon.
Particularly McFox who seemed to just throw in a vote out of nowhere.
th3smarg said:Yes, that vote was mainly for pressure. Mostly hoped, since he is a newer player, that he would actually put some effort into answering the questions posed to him. Dodging questions and giving half-***** answers is certainly noobtell at first, but if it persists it could be a sign of scumtell.
Okay so you agree to your forceful language but you do not get what my case is built off of? Also no do not pull the "I was only trying to add pressure! Honest! Then the big bad J comes around back at me for doing exactly what he did..." Also Cello asked me to hold hands with him. Not vice-versa. I just obliged and no I am not trying to buddy. Alright you are starting to get a bit contradicting. You don't see the actual case against you but you see where I am coming from. Let me bring up what you say at the end of the post.th3smarg[@ J's accusations said:I dont see what criteria he is using to make an actual case against me.[/B] He put in a vote for smashmachine for pressure, and I wanted to simply increase the pressure in the hopes of getting some info out of him. Suddenly, when smashmachine is only at L-5, J turns around and makes an entire case against me that I am being too harsh with the noob (when I just want him to answer the questions at l-5) and how my methods were uncalled for. Then, to capitalize on this assumption, he tries to buddy up to cello in the hopes of getting a wagon started. He is chasing the wrong leads, though I at least understand where he is coming from.
You don't get the case and think I don't have a basis for it BUT you still believe it to be a reasonable case and a legitimate reason for you to be wagon'd? *insert wtf is this **** pic* I am so confused. I wanna get to the last part of this quote. Why are you saying "Even if I am scum he is just trying to paint me in a bad light and make himself the town leader." No I am not trying to become the "town leader" I am just pointing out behaviour I found incredibly scummy PLUS it is very questionable/contradicting what you are saying in it's entirety.th3smarg said:Because this is only my 4th day, all of you guys are relatively new to me, so trying to compare how you are playing now to how you have played previously is impossible. This inhibits me from making lucid reads. TBH, I think J is the only one who has really given a legitimate reason thus far as to why I should wagoned.
As I say above, I think J has a reasonable case. His motives for the push are to put me in a bad light which, in the impossible event that I flip scum, will put him in a good position for leading town (assuming he is town).
1.) Cello never stated accusations on you.th3smarg said:@ Cello's accusations, I still cant tell how serious cello is on this matter. He actually ended up voting me because Gord said he would decapitate admiral. Then to play that off, he just told J that he would need to vote with him toMorrow on gheb. I dont like this at all. Not only am I unsure of whether Cello even views me as scum, it seems he would be fine with a mislynch toDay if that means J follows him in lynching Gheb toMorrow.
Your doing EXACTLY what you say Smash is doing. You continuously redirect suspicion to Smash while people are calling you out on your questionable behaviour. And now in the current debate you are redirecting the fire towards McFox until he whipped that case back at ya then you moved onto Gordy the nearest second wagon. You hopped onto him in the hope of having him lynched over him. Your being hypocritic with your stances.th3smarg said:Why do I have to keep repeating myself? I voted smashmachine for pressure in the hopes that he would actually answer my questions. Instead of answering, he turned it around and called me and Swiss out for even asking him the questions in the first place. If this is not redirecting suspicion I dont know what is.
I am certainly not buddying swiss either. I just dont like that smashmachine went about accusing both of us and I stood up for myself. He said blatantly that me and Swiss look more suspicious than Gheb does, without giving a reason which seemed odd to me. *Looks left and right* although the swissinator has a nice ring to it
Really? I mean REALLY? I just told you to stop trying to police inactives. For me that is an obviously easy way for scum to seem more pro-town. And you keep on repeating this.unvote
Still would like to hear anything from utd and seph.
Now you are hopping on the closest bandwagon towards you. For pretty weak reasons too.However, I dont like the stance Gord is taking in this matter. Because of one pressure vote I had against smashmachine, he seems to be piggybacking on everyone else who comes in to refute me.
He has put J is a good light,joketalked cello into voting for me, and now seems to be riding on the idea that McFox is ultimate town because of his standard counter argument. It seems he is finding justifiable reasons to side with everyone on my wagon so, when I flip town, he can give some BS excuse that his town read for everyone was so strong that he thought I would surely flip scum.
Vote Gord
Don't AtE. Seriously at this point I see no reason why not lynching you is beneficial for the town. Plus AtE'ing with one of the most AtE players is actually quite amusing.besides, all this senseless arguing is making an old man out of me. I should probably go meditate until J drives the nail through my innocent coffin.
how perplexing
You are kidding, right? While I have been sitting her defending myself for the past few days, smash has said absolutely nothing. He may just be sitting at home, viewing the thread as invisible and laughing at you accuse me of redirecting to smash when I have defended everything I have said 10x over."I would just like to point out while I'm under fire that SMASH HAS NOT RESPONDED YET! Scum-tell! Look at Smash! Not me!"
You are trying to direct the heat you are taking from yourself back to Smash. Quit redirecting. McFox already got to you as to why he is voting for you quite handidly so I'm just gonna leave that last part.
Okay so you agree to your forceful language but you do not get what my case is built off of? Also no do not pull the "I was only trying to add pressure! Honest! Then the big bad J comes around back at me for doing exactly what he did..." Also Cello asked me to hold hands with him. Not vice-versa. I just obliged and no I am not trying to buddy. Alright you are starting to get a bit contradicting. You don't see the actual case against you but you see where I am coming from. Let me bring up what you say at the end of the post.
Right, thats not buddying? False. You keep talking about me contradicting myself? Take a look in the mirror.J said:Cello, could you put your vote on th3smarg?
I promise I will give reasons, but if you do I will put my vote on whomever you want when you want.
You honestly think you are not trying to lead town in this instance? Shush. You have been leading this entire offensive, making random deals with people to vote for me because you are sure I am scum.You don't get the case and think I don't have a basis for it BUT you still believe it to be a reasonable case and a legitimate reason for you to be wagon'd? *insert wtf is this **** pic* I am so confused. I wanna get to the last part of this quote. Why are you saying "Even if I am scum he is just trying to paint me in a bad light and make himself the town leader."

J said:1.) Cello never stated accusations on you.
Great reasoning amiright?cello said:Yeah, let's lynch T3S.
@Mayling: I saw him looking at the thread. T3S is scum, is the reason I'm keeping my vote on him.
This is all filler. You are just saying what you stated above and making it clear that I am the one redirecting suspicion when people call out my questionable behavior. That is actually not the case, because from the time I started defending myself (which i did plenty) I only refereed to smashmachine not posting once. Do you deny the fact that it is a bit weird that I am already at L-2 when smash has not even responded?J said:Your doing EXACTLY what you say Smash is doing. You continuously redirect suspicion to Smash while people are calling you out on your questionable behaviour. And now in the current debate you are redirecting the fire towards McFox until he whipped that case back at ya then you moved onto Gordy the nearest second wagon. You hopped onto him in the hope of having him lynched over him. Your being hypocritic with your stances.
Right and by you telling me to stop policing inactives, I am obliged to agree? So whos trying to lead town again? Certainly not you J. Just keep giving me orders when to claim and who to police, oh yeah and make sure that you lay down the law behind someone hammering me. Dont forget to inform the town that I apparently am an imminent threat to the town, even though I am a townie myself. Also make sure you tell everyone to stop focusing on smash, because he is obviously cleared as town considering he has not posted anything.J said:Really? I mean REALLY? I just told you to stop trying to police inactives. For me that is an obviously easy way for scum to seem more pro-town. And you keep on repeating this.
I voted gord based on my reasoning above. Who are you to tell me they are weak reasons? I posted that before Gord and McFox explained themselves and I still have not heard back from Cello. Legit reasons in my book.J said:Now you are hopping on the closest bandwagon towards you. For pretty weak reasons too.
Woah, my inner alert just sounded. What makes you so sure that I am going to be lynched toDay? We still have plenty of time before the deadline to speak to the inactives. Why wait until toMorrow to speak with him? I dont like that post one bit.J said:@Seph situation: I am personally going to be hounding him toMorrow on his opinions on everything that has gone by toDay. If he does not post soon he will be mod-killed. With this being said let's start asking for these.
Still not leading the town, J? Hypocrisy at its finest.J said:UTD/Kataefi: One of you put them at L-1 but the other of you two DO NOT HAMMER TILL HE CLAIMS. I will give the final verdict on what we are going to do after he claims.
and more flags just went off. I am not even gonna talk about what you know I was gonna talk about but the deadline is still far away. Why you pushing for the quicklynch so fast if I am actively defending my position. So you see a mislynch as being beneficial to the town? Explain please. And dont just use the excuse that I am scum. When I flip town, I wanna see where this confidence goes and I also want people to question J's reasoning for quicklynching.J said:At this point and time I see it being beneficial with ending toDay with a th3smarg lynch. May we please end it with that?

Right, thats not buddying? False. You keep talking about me contradicting myself? Take a look in the mirror.
ill say it again. Though I understand you are going after me because of the language I used, the actual meat of the criteria you base your argument off is wrong. You are chasing that incorrectly.
You honestly think you are not trying to lead town in this instance? Shush. You have been leading this entire offensive, making random deals with people to vote for me because you are sure I am scum.

Congratz, you prodded seph. Way to lead the town there buddy.

Also, @ Cop, if J stops and thinks about what he is doing for a bit and listens to reason, use your PR on me tonight. I guarantee you I will come back townie.

As far as claiming goes, I do think I will claim in fact.
I will claim at L-1, assuming that no one hammered me while I was writing this post.
This chunk of your post is all about how I am being hypocritical as to saying that I am not leading the town. These points are an overall assessment.You honestly think you are not trying to lead town in this instance? Shush.
