First, Garg!
After much fluff and refusal to participate in any kind of scumhunting or readsharing of any kind, Garg posts this:
Yea, Dark Horse is really leaning scum right now. I think I'll hold my vote a little longer until more people have their say on this. There are still some people not doing much.
Wants to push the wagon of what looks like low-hanging town fruit, but doesn't want to get the blood on his own hands by dropping a vote. Classic noobscum.
After being called out, he says this:
Not voting isn't necessarily the equivalent of not doing anything. I'm holding my vote because my opinion on Dark Horse might just be a lapse of judgement that could change seeing how he/she interacts with other players who haven't necessarily done anything yet. I'm not being deliberately passive, nor am I just waiting to blindly jump on a wagon.
Methinks he doth protest too much. He
is being deliberately passive; he
does want to jump on a wagon. Badly. Because he sure as hell ain't gonna start one himself (jdietz will inherit this trait, but I'll get to that later)
I was just waiting to see how DH responds to something else before I lay down my vote. In the last 2 (and only 2) games I played, there was that someone that we were so 'sure' was scum, then with the flip, they just turned out to just be a townie who apparently really sucked. You might think relying my personal anecdote is silly, but honestly, I don't want to make the same mistake again.
Voting would mean that I'm ready for DH to be lynched, and it's still pretty early to jump to that conclusion.
A ridiculous amount of hesitance given to something as innocuous as a vote on D1. "One time I voted for someone and then they got lynched but we were wrong and they were town so now I'll never vote anyone ever."
Seems legit. Like I said, scum doesn't like having that kind of blood on their hands.
again @Ranmaru
I'd like to add that it's also possible that you're simply misjudging me based off your indifference to my playing style. I don't like how quick you are to vote, as you apparently don't like how I'm cautious, but I don't see how either ways of playing are either town or scummy, seeing as they can be used either way.
Consider that by voting so quickly I can either think you're genuinely scum hunting or trying to get people to turn on any townie possible. The odds of it being either one are even, seeing as every one of your other actions through out the game were generally neutral so far. So judging me on the basis of my caution is honestly pointless, as it is for me to judge you off your anxiety, unless you have another legitimate reason as to why you think I'm scum.
So ****ing middle-of-the-road I wanna die.
From what I've been reading, the only reason you guys don't like me is cause of the whole voting thing (and only that). I'm gonna be completely honest, this is all pretty frustrating; even though I explained my all actions in great detail and whatnot, there's absolutely nothing I could've done without looking bad. If I held back from voting completely, I would've been criticized for my ambivalence, and voting apparently made it seem like I was easily persuaded or something, even though I honestly just thought it'd be better to vote after Inferno's explanation. Am I not allowed to take perfectly reasonable advice from far more experienced players?
and @DH, "I'm trying not to make a scene"? Ok, for the first part of the day, my lack of contribution to the game was out of being busy; I had SATs, then my cousin's grad party and s***. When I could, clearly participated as much as possible; if 'I didn't want to make a scene' I could just not be f***ing saying anything.
I feel as I'm simply being scrutinized, as I'm one of the few players in the game with substantial content to analyze. I understand their effort, but their effort's in the wrong place. I feel as if I couldn't have said done any more to justify my actions, which is why I don't understand why they're still on this (and also why I got flustered).
Frustrated scum, down to the letter. He legitimately can't see why people are finding him sus, so he just whines: "Wah! I don't see what I did wrong; stop being suspicious of me for totally legitimate reasons! I don't know how to handle pressure!"
Also, unprovoked excuses for inactivity out the ***. Eager to justify inaction rather than, you know...taking action.
That's just Garg, Jdietz is the real meat here and his stuff will be in another post. I just want to make sure I get
something up before Nightfall.
Also worth noting that JTB (speak of the devil) has been playing just as badly—wagon hopping, being lazy, no town intent anywhere, but has been more blatant about it. Like, literally seems to give no ****s about how he is being perceived or
if he's even being perceived. He can go too. I could make a post like this for him as well, but all you really need to know is that he's been on basically any wagon that's going at the time of his posts without any justification or likely even reading much. He's my first pick for indy, by a mile.
SK, do us a solid and shoot Jdietz or JTB. We'll lynch whoever you leave. I'm assuming you
are JTB, so thanks for shooting Ditz, in advance.
