I didn't get to post again after my confession, so I wanted to address a few posts from D2 before dealing with D3. The following two posts are from Gheb questioning my claim.
Don't see why Soup should full claim? Most of Tandora's post could easily be lies and a lot of it can't be confirmed without getting somebody else modkilled.
Tandora, answer this please: Do you think Soup's assumed scumbuddies would be OK with the way he's playing and acting? Even though it's WIFOM the risk for playing like Soup does is a lot bigger than the potential reward. Don't you think he'd try to be a bit more subtle about his manipulations? Did you actually think through your claims and your theories before revealing them to the open? I have my doubts about it to be honest.
I'm curious for Soup's full response but I'm highly skeptical towards Tandora's claim.
Well, with Soup's explanation matching [and I also believe the Zidane - Vanilla confusion-thing] I don't see why him and Tandora would lie about it at the same time. The question is how Tandora will react to his response because the neighbor status obviously doesn't clear him for her [and vice versa]. My main concern is people like smar giving Tandora the free pass upon her claim and allowing her to continue coasting like she did for the most part under the pretext of the "boring" vanilla role PM. That won't fly with me and none of Tandora's input has given us anything to work with in terms of scum hunting. I still think she's scum.
Notice after I claim, he focuses on me as scum instead of Soup. Is this because Soup is his scummate or because he knows after I flip town it would make Soup look worse and easier to lynch?
So, Soupa, what do you think of Tandora's claim that you claimed Roxpsi's character?
Tandora, why didn't you start pressuring him earlier today? Why did you claim now?
I claimed as soon as I saw his Zidane claim on QT. He had originally given me his clue before the flip - aka fast and brave. I had guessed Zidane. Then almost a week had passed and Roxy had already flipped as Zidane before he claimed that he was indeed Zidane.
I thought about trying to talk to him more privately, but after some internal debate decided that no matter what he said to me at that point I wasn't going to believe him.
I could have forgiven the Zidane claim IF it had happened before Roxy's flip, but after? What the hell?
The irony is that Onion Kid makes sense to be my neighbor given the name of our QT since we are both knight type characters. I want to clarify with Seph before I give the name.
@Tandora, you said that Soup hinted that his character was fast and brave BEFORE Roxy flipped Zidane. I assume those are the character attributes of Zidane, but why would soup crumb those to you if he was actually the Onion Knight and he could not have known about Zidane pre-flip?
Realistically fast and brave describes many FF heroes. Hell, brave describes all of them sooner or later. It wasn't really a meaningful clue at all.
Way to push on me, RF. Don't have a lot of time to post right now, so I hope I'm not lynched before I have a chance to put together a case tomorrow morning/afternoon. I still say the third scum is RR. So for now:
Vote: RedRyu
Jeremy, you listed Soup as one of your other possible scum picks. Why focus on Red Ryu instead of him?
I'm conflicted because I find it extremely unlike that Soup and Gheb were on the same faction, but I don't like how often and unnecessarily Soup has lied. And how bad his lies are.
Gheb points out that Soup's behavior is probably not something scummates would encourage but at the same time most scum teams barely communicate. And it seems weird how he can post so much here but never tried to find out more about me in our QT. I felt I was the one asking information to see if we could trust each other while he pretty much did nothing but act crazy here.
I think the killer is I'm starting to doubt Jiremi myself. There's things that are
off about his play. I don't like his first post of D2, it reeks of scum. And there's this distinct lack of frustration in his posts that I'm used to seeing. I don't know if it's a scum tell or sign of growth as a player.
Also, I had made a note to myself that if Jiremi flipped scum, then it was likely that Glyph was town. Considering that both confirmed scum really pushed hard for Glyph, it makes me wonder if Jiremi is not scum too.
