Seik the idea is you play well enough that by the end you've convinced people such that your top lynch choice becomes their top lynch choice

Yes but you originally said "you" and not "everyone".*shrugs* It's clear Kuz wanted the X1 lynch and wasn't deviating. I wasn't going to get his support for an AA lynch, and he's clearly one of the more influential players this game.
There are several players. They do not all agree on who should be lynched each day. There can only be one person lynched each day. Therefore not everyone will get their top lynch choice each Day.
:/.
In the bold. Here is where you should try to shift discussion onto someone else. Don't let it focus on one person, try to spread it out to 2-3 people.@X1
You can't deny that Kuz is an influential and strong player. I didn't have his support, the AA wagon had come and gone and discussion was focused on you and Kuz. The AA lynch didn't feel viable at all.
:/. It doesn't matter what he thinks of Ran, TownAA would always be more sure that he is town than Ran. Why does he suggest himself?@ kuz: If I were impartial I'd probably lynch me first, I don't think Ran is scum.
Who says the only way to announce when you have a change in reads is to do is subtly? As town, and when I have nothing to gain from keeping it quiet, I am always very open and loud about my stances. Here is no different. Pushing another play quietly would have not had the same affect on other player's perception of Ranmaru than if I announced my stances boldly. Since many players had him as their number one scum pick, I knew I had to be aggressive about it.X1 said:Yup, its scummy. Not because I think Ran is scum, but because the way he did it was scummy. If a town player thought Ran was town, he'd just push away from Ran, attacking the scumpicks instead. Kuz didn't do that, he made a big charade of specifically defending Ran, making sure everyone saw him do it.
I had never done a full read of the game before my change of heart. The only time I had really even gone back much was during my Sword ISO. I re-read the morning I had the realization and upon a full re-read not focused on a specific area, I realized many of the posts Ranmaru was being taken scummy for were either just plain old anti-town Ran or you putting a negative spin on them.X1 said:Also if he could truly read Ran from meta he'd know it from the start of the game, the "Ran-town-tells" he describes have been exhibited form the start of D1. The fact he is so confident in his Ran read when Ran's been incredibly scummy (he always is) makes me think that kuz has outside information that Ran is town (i.e Ran isn't on kuz's scumteam, ergo is town)
Yeah its WIFOM and yeah its a null indicator. It cant be done as town and as scum. I didn't expect to convince anyone with it.X1 said:Kuz says "oh yeah as scum why would I distract from an easy mislynch, makes no sense". I've basically touched on this and I already called him out for it. Firstly its stupid WIFOM.
I gained a scumX1 scrambling to divert the wagon away from AA before he was lynched. I never attacked you before him because I wanted to give you the illusion I thought you were town so you would give me untainted reads. Too bad you were inactive and didn't end up giving me that much to work with before AA got close to being lynched.X1 said:@Kuz: You said in #1201 that you were gonna wait until you found out who my scumbuddies are, yet 2 and half hours later in #1202 you already have a convincing case that AA is scumbuddy? So you already are pretty sure me and AA were scumbuddies, but you chose to completely ignore me, and only attack AA? What did that gain? Why did you never attack me before I attacked you? You were sitting there thinking me and AA were scum together, but that it'd be a good idea not to ever mention me as a scumread until I attacked you, only attacking AA in a hope that'd reveal the last member of out scumteam?
I don't like X1's play. At all. He posts a big post about how siek is scum and kuz with him, so we should lynch siek now and kuz later, then as soon as kuz starts full-out attacking him he switches to kuz-is-scum-100%. And stops giving a **** about the scumSiek he saw before. Then theres just a bunch of random BS I've been seeing since the start, like using RVS stuff as part of an accusation, etc.@Fynal: Obviously I have been defending myself, but if you pay attention I've been attacking kuz the whole way through my increased posting streak. I have been scumhunting. The AA flip-flopping doesn't exist, every time I've attacked him there's been scummier people to deal with. Same with Seik, I've just become more confident in kuzscum.
Fynal explain your SoupTown read. Also explain what you will think of kuz upon my town flip.
:/. It doesn't matter what he thinks of Ran, TownAA would always be more sure that he is town than Ran. Why does he suggest himself?
I've been sure Ran was town from the very, very beginning. I admitted I slipped up with my definition of the word 'scumpick', which I still regret. There is more to go on for me than for Ran, that's my objective analysis. I maintain Ran is town.AA could either know Ran is town, or Ran is a scum PR he's protecting. Thoughts?
UTDZac, Soren and TBS would all like a word. JTB as well (sorta). Actually, they wouldn't, since they haven't done anything significant. Poor point. The only people who are talking are the ICs, then Soup and Ran and you, a little. Very few people are doing anything this day.For D2 he remains scum-pickless.
He finds Soren "sorta suspicious", a dumb post about why I'm scummy, a "town-lean" on X1 and that's it.
He isn't scum for what he's done, but scum for what he hasn't done.
He's certainly made posts in an attempt to contribute, but what have those posts done? How much content is there really?
Fluff all Day.
Yep, vote for me based on...what, inactivity? Fluff? Find a contradiction, then we'll talk.unvote

Been busy. I'll comment in-depth when I have the time, but half of kuz's push is meta-related and he's simply sitting behind his 'lol you're scum' shield. He seems to put up this defence after every lengthy post, which didn't work out for Sworddancer, and isn't convincing me now. I don't find his case strong, and kuz is merely assuming it's convincing, deflecting X1's defence and calling 'scum scum scum scum scum'. The major point that I'll give him is that he has meta from a previous game to consider, which is fine, but I don't think meta reflects alignment sufficiently.Hasn't commited to any stances.
Hasn't commented on recent events.
Hasn't done... anything toDay.
Seik totally avoids mentioning kuz during D1 despite him being one of the most active players - Its common for noobscum to do that. They try to not be connected with their partner in case it incriminates them, but end up over compensating. I've done this and lost scum the game in Bioware and Soul Calibur, BSL did it terribly in Allstars but somehow got away with it. Its like classic noobscum and incredibly damning for kuz should Seik flip scum
Seik did not say anything about kuz as a player other than that he was probably town - and only inconsequentially, a response in order to defend himself from JTB. This is a fair point from X1, and receiving advice from kuz almost doesn't count, given it is a newbie game. Kuz is sidestepping the big issues and simply finding avenues of attack.You're kidding me right? Since when did Seik avoid me D1? We spoke plenty during that Day and its cool and all that you bring up incorrect information to damn me but stuff like this does not help. Off the top of my head I remember talking to Seikend about how what Fynal did was just a nub tell and I remember specifically trying to convince him to join Sword's wagon.
Pretty much null.@Seikend, AA and X1: What is your read on JTB?
Unless I have a solid reason for considering an exchange as TvT, SvS etc. (Confirmed town or scum, or strong gut that it isn't a bandwagon etc.) I'd rather analyse the people individually rather than as a pair.@Seikend: I'm curious. Why did you think X1 vs. myself could be TvT? Do you still believe that could be the case or do you now believe one of us is scum?
UTDZac hasn't posted at all.UTDZac, Soren and TBS would all like a word. JTB as well (sorta). Actually, they wouldn't, since they haven't done anything significant. Poor point. The only people who are talking are the ICs, then Soup and Ran and you, a little. Very few people are doing anything this day.
Implying contradictions are the only scumtell.Yep, vote for me based on...what, inactivity? Fluff? Find a contradiction, then we'll talk.
I defended you in D1 initially yes. But I dicussed it with Gova and I understood what he was getting at. I didn't see the contradiction initially.Stuff about Kuz, stuff about me being scum, if Kuz is scum. Irrelevant currently.
I'm defending X1 because I genuinely believe that kuz, Seikend or both are scum now. Kuz might have done a lot of scumhunting, but there are plenty of reasons he's done that. This is a newbie game and he can play up the IC card just by his actions alone. Seikend responded regarding me because I'm his top scumpick. He should have had more on me than just that to call me scum. He bloody defended me in the D1 confusion, so he must really be pushing for me to go.
No. What did you hope to get out of this question?@ Seikend, X1: is kuz scummier than soren, ignoring inactivity? Thoughts on my thoughts please.
@1st: ???? not understanding what you said. i'm attacking you for blocking out your scumread on siek, who you initially stated should die toDay, in favor of attacking kuz. While kuz was attacking you.fynal, dont know why you are attacking me for finding kuz scummier when he attacked me, did you not notice that like 1 post after i attack kuz, kuz.
The attack on me for coming in when the aa lynch was close to happening is dumb too, i started posting more during the holidays, so what? Even then saying im distracting from the aa lynch isnt even scummy unless he flips scum

Hmmm Kuz is scum hunting but there must be reasons for him doing, obviously anti-town reasons. Show me where I have been playing up the IC card, cuz I havn't and thats bull****. People's stances can change, like mine did wrt to Ranmaru.I'm defending X1 because I genuinely believe that kuz, Seikend or both are scum now. Kuz might have done a lot of scumhunting, but there are plenty of reasons he's done that. This is a newbie game and he can play up the IC card just by his actions alone.

Oh please. Cut the word games.kuz, the end of 1336. You dont answer the question at all. IF YOU ALREADY THOUGHT I WAS SCUM WITH AA, WHY DID YOU LIE TO GET UNTAINTED READS? you already 'knew' that me and AA where scum, how is lying about your scumpicks justified when you are just trying to luck out and find the third scum somehow from connections of players who havent flipped
also 'town can WIFOM too' is BS, you used WIFOM to specifically state that you are town. No town needs to do this

Orly? Half of my case is meta? Did you even read my 1202? Probably not because very little of it revolves around meta. After the post you even said "I think I trust Kuz's read a bit more," and now suddenly you are flip flopping both your stances (X1 and myself). If you HAD read the exchange you would have realized X1 is going for the scummy avenues of attack while I am refuting him, calling him out for the many contradictions. Meta should not be the major point of anything, and its certainly not the major point of my argument.Been busy. I'll comment in-depth when I have the time, but half of kuz's push is meta-related and he's simply sitting behind his 'lol you're scum' shield. He seems to put up this defence after every lengthy post, which didn't work out for Sworddancer, and isn't convincing me now. I don't find his case strong, and kuz is merely assuming it's convincing, deflecting X1's defence and calling 'scum scum scum scum scum'. The major point that I'll give him is that he has meta from a previous game to consider, which is fine, but I don't think meta reflects alignment sufficiently.
All kuz is doing is reading and analysing actions, calling them scummy/non-scummy depending on which suits him best, and then placing it in a logically unassailable position. A lot of what he says is correct, like X1's 'contradictions' being reaching, etc, but this is not enough for me to believe his case. On the other hand, X1 has points that kuz misinterprets. For example:
You'd think if someone started your wagon and was adamant about your lynch enough to vote you, he wouldn't just completly forget about mentioning you in a list of scumspects a few pages later, yeah? I was particularly engrossed for a bit, but then he switched.As for him forgetting about me, he wasn't particularly engrossed (he was the first voter, that's all), so forgetting about me would have been easy, given that I didn't post much after my defence against Gova.
Talk about this blatant opportunism.@ kuz, JTB is 99% town.
Nothing he did in D1 suggests anything to the contrary, I'll address any posts you care to bring up, because I remember thinking about a couple as I read D1 again a week back.
First one is meant to say first why do you attack me for attacking kuz who is attacking me? If you believe it is scummy then why attack me for doing it but not kuz, when kuz suddenly made a massive post saying I'm scum, 1 or two posts after him. Secondly if someone attacks me in a scummy way, I'll find them scummy.@1st: ???? not understanding what you said. i'm attacking you for blocking out your scumread on siek, who you initially stated should die toDay, in favor of attacking kuz. While kuz was attacking you.
@2nd: yes it is scummy. because you claimed to have started the aa wagon, and you said before the kuz.vs.X1 that aa was yer only solid scumread, and then when it looked like aa might die, you had a big accusation going and aa wasn't a strong scumpick anymore and you didn't say why.
thoughts on aa/siek after school.
This is 100% not true. Here I will change the word "knew" to "thought" and the point still stands. This is the third time at least I've asked you this question. Answer it for real please:our whole bolded paragraph is just capatalizing on the word "knew." I obviously didn't know 100% that you two were scummates but I had strong suspicions which were only re-enforced by your actions.
IF YOU ALREADY THOUGHT I WAS SCUM WITH AA, WHY DID YOU LIE TO GET UNTAINTED READS? you already thought that me and AA where scum, how is lying about your scumpicks justified when you are just trying to luck out and find the third scum somehow from connections of players who havent flipped
I understand why you did it, but how does that justify lying to town? You said you were willing a wait a whole Day Phase to lynch me, just so that you can get a slightly better idea of my connections? How does the small benefit of getting a better ideas of connections of an unflipped player, justify the idea of completely lying to the whole of town?X1. Open your eyes for ****s sake, you're going completly after the wrong things. I had suspicions, but I wanted to make sure and further feel you out. As for the third pick, IF I HAD LET ON I WAS SUSPICIOUS OF YOU, YOU MAY HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION: "WHICH INACTIVE SHOULD GO FIRST," DIFFERENTLY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MASK YOUR TRUE SENTIMENTS.
