Asdioh, you don't like the walls? Well, here's another.
Also, everyone gets to nameclaim.
Circus will pick the order everyone nameclaims.
If this is still the plan, then...
J
July
Overswarm
Swords
It obviously makes the most sense from my own point of view to go last, since claiming my own name isn't informational for
me, but I don't really care. I'll claim first/soon if that's what people want—seems fair considering I'm apparently Undesirable No.1 right now.
Now, one more go at J, because I'll be damned if I let this Day end before I make my point clear, as difficult as it is to muster up the effort to peel through all of this again.
J, the difference between what you're calling my FUD and what I'm calling your FUD is that I haven't been just subtly trying to sew avenues to lynches for myself this game, where, from where I'm sitting, it looks like you have. I haven't been promoting "fear, uncertainty, or doubt." You're confusing FUD-throwing with mud-slinging; I will humbly admit to the latter, it's what happens when I get excitable about reads. You've seen me do it plenty of times before. It's not necessarily nice or always the best approach, but it's what I do and it's not a scumtell. I'm straight up calling you out, loud and clear. I'm taking overt, open stances. You haven't been, for the most part. Until only recently, you've been happy to just make jabs from the sidelines. That's the key difference. I see things I don't like about your play and state them, explaining where I'm coming from even if you would obviously take issue with how I may be characterizing it. When I'm suspicious of something, I make it known pretty quickly—just because I only feel like discussing the negative characteristics or possibilities most of the time doesn't mean I'm scum. I just don't generally find talking about how townie someone might look to be as helpful.
In contrast you start out the game with things like
"July is capable of being trecherous and manipulative!" before she's really even started to play. And "Gee, I don't like Circus' tone -waits for someone to visibly start swinging that way- Hey, July, vote for Circus with me! :3"
And that's just a subset of the wishy-washy, back-seat scumhunting I've been seeing from you this game. It's you
"pressuring" July for all of five minutes before soon deciding
"eh, I guess either Circus or Swords for SK, because OS and July just seem more townie because of reasons." It's you saying
"OS kind of scares me so, you know, we could lynch him if ya'll wanted to." It's you saying
"well, we might still have to lynch Asdioh, I don't know, I don't want to think about it." It makes it look like you're just trying to throw out option to people, wait for someone to attach themselves to one of them so you know how to properly position yourself, and then start reeling them in.
That last link is actually nice, because you have another line in it which actually reveals your intent quite well. You say you're tired and that you'll try to think of something to
say later, rather than thinking of something to
do (ask some questions? Pressure some people? If you don't know what you're next move is as a townie, then the logical thing to do would be to get
other people to start saying things so you can build your reads, not to worry about what your next statement's going to be about).
I mean, something like
this. It just drives me batty. You literally go out of your way to make it clear to people that I
could be just about any type of scum. You don't commit to any opinions on what I could be based on my play. "Well, he's posting a lot but he's acting kind of like an individual so maybe he's a townie or maybe he's the SK or maybe he's mafia who's good at hiding his scummate. I don't know, reads are gonna be hard, uguu." What is that for? How is that helpful to town? How is that anything other than dragging my name in the mud for
no good given reason.
I mean, even after we got a mafia flip, you
refused to commit to any strong stances or leans. Yes, I know Raziek didn't talk much. That doesn't mean you get to just throw up your hands and say "well, I guess we still know nothing. Maybe July?" This is what I mean when I say that you are visibly uninterested in
actually trying to locate scum. You just keep throwing **** at the wall, not even really caring what sticks and what doesn't.
You even
make excuses for when you're about to do things like this. "I'm gonna stay out of the spotlight so I can read you guys better." Bull****. Such bull****. You step out of the spotlight so that people stop focusing on you, bicker between other people all Day, and then fall into some other lynch by the end of the phase almost by default and desperation.
It's been a problem for me with you all game. And there's an observable difference to be seen between my play and yours for anyone paying attention. Accuse me of being narrow-minded or whatever, but I'm being open and forthright while you are being demonstrably shadier and less sticky to your stances. And I hate it.
Vote: J
I'm hoping some of you will wise up and see what I'm seeing, or at least stop drinking J's fruit punch. But if not, whatever, me dying now wouldn't be the worst thing as long as you guys got OS' contract idea going properly. I figured I would end up as a good mislynch target later on in the game, but now the idea of dealing with this in mylo really sounds like a nightmare to me. July keeps going into hiding—pretty confident she's the last maf. Really believe J's gonna be the SK. There's at least one scum between the two of them.
