So I thought if I'm going to do this at all, I might at as well do it properly. I'll try and do it chronologically as much as I can. Feel free to point out stuff I miss, but at least you can see what rPSI was posting and make up your own mind about him.
Ooh, an intro
1. Firstly, at the beginning of the game Ryker threw his vote around quite often, yet barely ever gave reasoning, and if he did he basically contradicted himself or didn't really take a stance. Classic case of a scum trying to appear helpful, when they are in fact not doing much except for voting.
lol, RVS. I generally take a lot of the first day to be RVS, since in fact, we may not be voting entirely randomly, we still are voting for very shaky reasons. And that applies to everyone.
The explanation here is stupid. Ryker got us out of RVS with his fluff case on Swiss. Even if it was centralised around 3 players (McFox, Swiss and Ryker) it was better than the continuous "which is better RVS or RQS." I mean, it was fair enough to say that Ryker should stop pursuing Swiss, but saying that he's "monstrous and closed minded" is waaayy out of line imo.
And it was clear that Ryker was going to be the one talking and defending his actions, which he did. But at that point in time, he was just seemingly milking as much fluff out of the case as possible IMO.
SBR was more so expressing his opinion than anything. SBR called rPSI out on this post. It's worth noting that this was the first point that sparked others to suspect rPSI in the first place.
I admit it, this wasn't a strong call on my part, but I still think it's worth noting that Day 1 everyone should be under the microscope, which is why IMO, there needs to be less fluff.
I also don't like the bit "in case Ryker does end up mafia." It seems like he thought ryker was going to get lynched, and that he was covering his own *** since he was first on the Swiss wagon. While this is assuming a hell of a lot, I don't see why it was necessary to discuss Ryker in that particular post. He could of just said "Vote SBR because he is unclear in his decisions, and he hasn't voted yet." Adding the Ryker bit is unnecessary.
No one truly knows what will happen Day 1. I mean, who could have predicted Frohawk would have been lynched before those last 48 hours? It also could be later on in the game. But you also have to keep in mind the original point of this post was to get reactions.
As I explained above, the explanation accompanying the Vote and FOS were shaky enough. Here he probably should of elaborated on why he cast his Vote and FOS, but he didn't.
I felt like my FOS and my vote were quite clear who I thought was suspicious. 'Nuff said.
SBR called him out massively on this post, and it's clear to see why. The whole post is basically what Frohawk did later on, in that he commented on the situation but didn't take a stance at all.
I again stated that it was simply to cause something other than yesterDay's fluff war to happen. I don't see how my position has changed.
rPSI gives an explanation on why he's playing the way he is (lots of votes, little substance).
He's trying to generate conversation. It's kind of hard to respond to someone's vote if they don't give reasons for there stance, or pose questions to the player they're voting. Like for example:
Unvote; Vote: Hidajiremi
Scum actions are scummy.
Hida made a fairly legitimate post that was in response to some suspicions I raised about him. I basically say I'm satisfied with his explanation for now, but rPSI puts a vote on him. Again, without asking for any form of explanation or posing any questions.
Not all reactions come in the form of "answering questions" at you put it. I also didn't particularly like the amount he contributed to town and how he defended lurking.
2. Next I'll post some of the arguments and questions I brought up, and how rPSI responded to them. Note that I've cut out some stuff that isn't incredibly relevant, since this post is going to be huge anyway.
The next time rPSI addressed my point, he said this:
That was basically the discussion I had with him.
From that conversation I could only see "yah-huh", "nuh-uh" fluff wars going on, so I dropped it and let you keep your opinion.
Next, to save myself quoting useless junk, look at posts #203-#218 (bunch of really short posts). SBR and Swiss are trying to pressure rPSI to a degree, but he keeps shrugging it off
Again, I only saw fluff generation from those posts.
After this, I also raised a few more points that he responded to.
And then he didn't respond to that last bit.
I bandwaggoned with him, I never actually supported the fluff he made, I just simply helped him get votes to get us out of RVS.
I never dismissed your cases on me because they were fluff, I avoided them because they would generate unnecessary fluff.
So that's pretty much everything. See what you think. I'm tired so I'm going to have a break for a few hours, and I'll be back later.
So that's the end of the defense you've been looking for. I hope I get my point across that I really didn't want fluff to happen.
