These are two good points for why I find Ditzy as scummy. Ditzy in the first paragraph was moreso making it almost CONCRETE as to Ran being lynched. He tries to shut down the other avenues and make it certain that Ran is lynched regardless of others suspicions starting to lean elsewhere. He tries to discredit the fact that he is V/LA as a reason to lynch him? That doesn't fly with me. He uses FUD of having D2 be the same but it doesn't make sense at all. He also tries to use a logical fallacy of generalization of "Literally no one is against Ran's lynch sans Vinyl." The last line of "I'll be straight with all of you" like a sage of knowledge just comes across as fact and trying to be a middle man of "we have to get rid of Ran toDay or the whole game will be screwed." just ick.
Then there is Zen's quote which is something Ditzy has even showed in these last couple of pages with his OMGUS on me. He is very worried how he looks to the rest of town and how "town" he comes across to people. His image to him is very important and so far, anyone who goes against his "town" image he says he has built up, he whiplashes back at them. It feels to be like a scum-knee jerk reaction to very little pressure coming from one slot. Which makes me moreso certain on my scum-read on Ditzy.
I'm afraid Orbo has it right here, if you read closely I had flashbacks of me nearly snagging the ML in SF2 mafia and wasn't about to let Ran wriggle away just to present himself as a giant target of what-if come Day 2. It was going to be resolved that day or we (or at least I) would be sorry and distracted by the elephant in the room.
As far as my "knee-jerk" is concerned, I am concerned. Being mislabeled is the fastest one way ticket to a mislynch, something I was and still am very concerned about ever since Ran flipped town. Frankly I was surprised no one pressured me about it, so it's been building to this moment for awhile.
What the heck....? Ditzy had just said that Ran SHOULD die yesterDay and then when Vinyl starts the Kary wagon and acquires Zen/Ran's vote, Ditzy hops on saying "I was going to wait to fry this goose toMorrow"? Whaaaaaat? No. Nuh-uh. Ditzy is trying to pull a fast one by hopping onto the Kary wagon with the "Oh I had a Kary scum-read too but wanted to wait till Ran got gone" and I don't like it at all.
Yeah Zen asked that too once:
Because wanting Ran first and foremost doesn't occlude me from aiding pressure for someone else scummy. Yes: I wanted Ran's lynch above all else and got it, but I was willing to loan my vote to make Kary that much more pressured and therefore obvious if scum. It's one thing to be voted, but when that guy who's had his vote on one person nearly all game hops to your wagon: it's terrifying. (or at least I 'd hope so)
Me wanting Ran to be the ultimate lynch doesn't stop me from aiding the pressure of another scum target when it presents itself. You're mistaking intent to ultimately lynch Ran no matter what with being unable to vote in any other way for pressure. I was waiting for Ran to flip to accuse Kary, I wanted her vote and her case was touchy at best, something I was going to leave for after flips when we had more info.
Look at these posts please! Listen Zen decided to vote Orange and then he posted his case in which Vinyl/Ori/Ditzy all hop on because his reasoning is good. Zen then asks Ditzy to explain why he dislikes Orange and he gives reasoning. However, when Zen then turns to vote GLG, the next person to post is Ditzy who says that he is hopping off Orange to go to Aleate of all people? He basically voted the person who is acting exactly like GLG. I'm somewhat appalled at his follow the Zen game he has played this game he just has been doing whatever Zen(town's biggest collective town-read) does and its bugging me to all else. His reads come off as shallow due to the way he treats them with his votes and how often he throws it about.
@Ditzy: This is a classic Zen-trick he uses to try and catch people as scum. He has done it to me in the past and it has worked. He had suspicions on you for your Kary vote and decided to test you on whether you would do the same thing you did the last time. You did do the exact same thing.
I think you missed the part where I had my own separate case on Vitamin before Zen even posted.
Also, me working with Zen isn't a secret. I found him to be the most town and did what I could to help him out in whatever efforts he attempted. I didn't always know what he was doing, but as an IC I've got to assume there's a good reason for it: apparently gauging me for following him was one of them. I never blindly followed however, I always had my own point of view wrapped in with my position. As far as when he votes GLG and I vote Alleate, I thought we were letting the pressure off to grill the inactives, so I followed suit. I thought it was best, and still do. My vote on Aleate WAS full of air, it was a pressure read to get him to post; something you admired Vinyl for doing to Serin.
