I meant he was a potential lynch target not that we should lynch him right then.

Cello said:Someone else vote for X1-12, please. I swear I won't immediately hammer. Immediately.
Isuyaru said:How long will you wait, then?
Also,Cello said:"Wait" is such a relative term. How long does it take to type out "vote X1-12"? That long.
You said you were "fine with an X1-12 lynch". Once again, WHY? You failed to respond to that question.I meant he was a potential lynch target not that we should lynch him right then.
I honestly didn't have a reason. From the twilights I've played in (e.g. Newbie 6) they are traditional "silly" phases that are too short to discuss things (i.e. the mod announces Night time a few minutes after the hammer) where you are waiting for a flip. I assumed since this was also a Newbie game it'd be a similar story.It's a matter of doing something that was obviously said to promote anti-Cello sentiment, then claiming that you didn't mean anything by it, which Town don't rightly cotton to. Why else would you have chosen to point out the obvious? No, really. Why?
What am I being blamed for? You're telling me that I'm scummy for not interrogating you when I should be. I don't see how I'm specifically shifting THAT blame onto anyone else? So then, am I to be blamed for X1's lynch? Fair enough, but so should everyone else who was on the wagon, especially the player who quick hammered, when apparently "no one else" wanted a quick lynch except said hammerer.Cello said:"Waiting for a person to talk about something" is literally the polar opposite of discussing that person. Also, who's really shifting blame here? Well, I admit I am one person who is. But, I'm shifting it to X-1. It's his fault for making me lynch him. You're a blame shifter too, and a hypocritical one at that.
I kept poking at Swiss for asking someone to speak up and be against the lynch. He says it was an attempt to catch scum (which didn't work because X1 was town) and I'm over discussing that point with him. I never said he should take his vote off X1.Cello said:By your own reasoning, you must have wanted X-1 lynched. Your vote was on him. You keep poking at Swiss for not taking his vote off of X-1, and therefore supporting X-1's quicklynch, but didn't you do the same thing? As such, why did YOU want X-1 lynched?
Oh, so THAT'S what YOUR vote meant. Because it's entirely impossible that Swiss was on for pressure. /sarcasmVanderzant said:And yes, by voting X1 I made it clear that I was fine with him being in a pressured situation...I didn't want his lynch at that stage, because I didn't think a quick lynch would happen like that.
So, you didn't have a reason, then you explain your reasons. That's contradictory.Vanderzant said:I honestly didn't have a reason...
Why I did so? To be perfectly honest, 1. I did it to show that I didn't like the outcome of a quick lynch 2. I did it to show my surprise and 3. I did it for the extra post count.
If you think scum is on the wagon, why would you be willing to lynch Riddle? Yet more dissonant thought. (Obviously, I think the answer to that is that you would be fine with bussing, but I'll hear you out)Vanderzant said:@Cello's question: To be honest, I'd say that I'm fine with a Riddle lynch, except for the fact that I truly believe we'll be more likely to hit scum by shooting for someone on the wagon, preferably you.
Also, this was directed at Swiss. Where did you get the idea that this was the reason he was voting for X1?Vanderzant said:Do you honestly believe that X1-12's attempt (whether he was unaware or not) to break the rules a fair reason for his lynch?
What? I've dropped my argument with Swiss. I understand what he says he was trying to do now, because he clarified it. Are you stuck back a page or something?Oh, so THAT'S what YOUR vote meant. Because it's entirely impossible that Swiss was on for pressure. /sarcasm
Did you really think Swiss thought a quick lynch WOULD happen like that? What was the point of your argument with him? Isn't the fact that he was talking about the issue an indicator that he DIDN'T think a quicklynch would happen? You're jumping to conclusions about what Swiss WOULD have done. You cannot make that leap; he didn't have the chance, and you offer no basis for your deductions. As such, we must accept his word as to what he was doing; if you dispute it, the onus is on you to refute his assertion. You have not met that burden of proof.
1. The reasons I had were obvious and there was no real need for me to explain them. But you asked me to, so I did.Cello said:So, you didn't have a reason, then you explain your reasons. That's contradictory.
I thought that self hammering is PRETTY DARN SELF EXPLANATORY. Do I really need an explanation from you as to why you did it? Do you really think that any explanations from you would change my opinion on your action?Cello said:Further, if you really didn't like it, why didn't you...SAY SOMETHING. Instead, you just sat there. Like a knot on a log. You wanted me to be the first person to bring it up...why wait? If it was important enough to you that you felt you had to bring it up six hours after the fact (or do you not have a reason? Make up your mind, please), then isn't it unreasonable to NOT pursue something as important as that? As such an unreasonable hammer as my own? (not that I consider it unreasonable, but you do)
Nice rhyme, but I've clarified this.Cello said:In fact, instead, you chose to harass Swiss for some reason. Your first statement of the Day was to question his having a vote on X-1. Your thought vibes do not jive.
Several reasons. He's inactive, he's not the kind of player I want in a LYLO situation. I want to watch you two interact a bit longer before I jump in with an opinion with him though.Cello said:If you think scum is on the wagon, why would you be willing to lynch Riddle? Yet more dissonant thought. (Obviously, I think the answer to that is that you would be fine with bussing, but I'll hear you out)
Read post #2 Then read #3. And before you jump me for it, by 'rule breaking' I meant X1's #2, where he broke the rules.Also, this was directed at Swiss. Where did you get the idea that this was the reason he was voting for X1?
Swiss said "scum slip" because X-1 was 'admitting' to being scum. While I realize you and Swiss spoke about that rule at the beginning of Newbie 6, Swiss's vote here was just as much of a joke as X-1's statement, and that was as obvious as could be.Vanderzant said:Read post #2 Then read #3. And before you jump me for it, by 'rule breaking' I meant X1's #2, where he broke the rules.
You dropped it rather abruptly, and you definitely didn't seem satisfied. "**** this lol" usually doens't translate to "Oh, ok, I fully understand your position now, let's be friends". Rather, it looks like you abandoned it for the moment, but left your options open in case you wanted to return to it.Vanderzant said:What? I've dropped my argument with Swiss. I understand what he says he was trying to do now, because he clarified it. Are you stuck back a page or something?
Who self-hammered? What are you ranting about now, madman? Concerning your opinion of me, I wouldn't know, since you haven't found it worthy of your time to contribute your opinions on specific people. However, most townies think that lynching scum is a good idea. If you thought I was scum, it doesn't make sense for you to not even acknowledge it.Vanderzant said:I thought that self hammering is PRETTY DARN SELF EXPLANATORY. Do I really need an explanation from you as to why you did it? Do you really think that any explanations from you would change my opinion on your action?
Then why is it so important that I pursued you on something that was perfectly clear? Sure I EXPECTED you to come and attempt to pursaude everyone here. But that DOESN'T mean I needed or wanted it.
First of all, Tomnosuke has only posted ONCE. It was an introductory post. On Day 2. You can also clearly tell that he's a newbie from the join date (two days ago in fact; I helped him make it); and yet, you've not mentioned him at all. Is a COMPLETELY UNKNOWN FACTOR that's been even less active than Riddle someone that you WOULD want in LYLO? If so, why? If not, why haven't you mentioned him at all and yet would be willing to lynch Riddle?Vanderzant said:Several reasons. He's inactive, he's not the kind of player I want in a LYLO situation. I want to watch you two interact a bit longer before I jump in with an opinion with him though.
The former. I was unaware he had broken any rule.Of course, the easiest way to deal with this is to ask Swiss. Swiss, what was the basis of your #3 post wagon? The fact that X-1 claimed he was scum, or the fact that he broke the rules? Also, had you realized he had broken the rules at that point?
I just wanted to repeat this OoCOmg you people post too much.
Anti-Town but not scummy.Riddle actually just admitted to skimming. This makes him useless as a townie or a scum looking for outs.
So you don't know why he voted you? At all?I see no case for my wagon.
Why?Cello wagon would be understandable, I just don't want him lynched today.
I said I see no case. I see BS reasons with no merit which he seems to think are voteable reasons.So you don't know why he voted you? At all?
Even if he is scum, he stirs enough up for me to get reads on other players. I'm interested in the answers, not so much his questions. Thus if I decide he's scum later, we can lynch him. I said the wagon would be understandable as quick lynches aren't cool (amusingly I quicklynched a guy on mafiascum 3 minutes ago - but he's def. scum)Why?
Please, elaborate on all the scumhunting you've done.Riddle said:I am scumhunting though. I think Swiss is scum.
I have no idea who that is, and have not read any games on SWF that I haven't been in.I think posts like "K Riddle wagon please" are scummy and irrelevant. They SCREAM scum trying to push a bandwagon along while trying to emulate a good player (KevinM) to make himself seem better.
I don't know. Either both on, or one on and one off.@Vanderzant: Where do you think the scum is? Both on X-1's wagon, or one on and one off?
You're right, I didn't realise it was a breach of rules, until you brought it to Town's attention. But can you (or Swiss) say with a straight face that you legitimately thought that X1 was scum based on him claiming scum?Swiss said "scum slip" because X-1 was 'admitting' to being scum. While I realize you and Swiss spoke about that rule at the beginning of Newbie 6, Swiss's vote here was just as much of a joke as X-1's statement, and that was as obvious as could be.
Besides, if you realized it was a breach of the rules at the time, you would have said something about it. Based on how and what you'd said at that point, such as focusing on what Swiss was saying as compared to X-1, I can't believe that you consciously realized it was a rules breach until after I brought it up (did anyone?). Trying to retroactively paint Swiss as voting for X-1 for rules breaking (and doing something similar to me by suggesting that I wanted to lynch X-1 as a "compromise" for his punishment) when that was clearly NOT was he was doing really doesn't sit well with me.
If that's how you want to interpret it, sure.Cello said:You dropped it rather abruptly, and you definitely didn't seem satisfied. "**** this lol" usually doens't translate to "Oh, ok, I fully understand your position now, let's be friends". Rather, it looks like you abandoned it for the moment, but left your options open in case you wanted to return to it.
Pretty neutral. I'd rather lynch you first.Cello said:What is your opinion of Swiss's alignment? Isuyaru's?
...Cello said:You seem dead set on finding scum on the X-1 wagon (and yet, you don't want to pursue me)
Mistake. I don't know why I said 'self' hammer.Cello said:Who self-hammered? What are you ranting about now, madman?
I have acknowledged that I think you could be scum. And don't start with the "haven't found it worthy of your time" ****. Why is it necessary that I give a detailed stance on everyone at this very point? If you want that, tell me why.Cello said:Concerning your opinion of me, I wouldn't know, since you haven't found it worthy of your time to contribute your opinions on specific people. However, most townies think that lynching scum is a good idea. If you thought I was scum, it doesn't make sense for you to not even acknowledge it.
Cool story bro.Cello said:First of all, Tomnosuke has only posted ONCE. It was an introductory post. On Day 2. You can also clearly tell that he's a newbie from the join date (two days ago in fact; I helped him make it); and yet, you've not mentioned him at all.
He's posted once. I have nothing to say abiut him. Let him play the game.Cello said:Is a COMPLETELY UNKNOWN FACTOR that's been even less active than Riddle someone that you WOULD want in LYLO? If so, why? If not, why haven't you mentioned him at all and yet would be willing to lynch Riddle?
Here's my opinion. If Riddle flips Town, we lynch Cello (assuming he's still alive).Cello said:Next, if you are WILLING TO LYNCH someone, then you must have an opinion on that person. I'm done with him. He's scum. Give your opinion.
It's odd. You've given no consideration to "if Riddle flips scum"...Vanderzant said:Here's my opinion. If Riddle flips Town, we lynch Cello (assuming he's still alive).
Indeed it is. Considering "inactivity" is half of the reason you're willing to lynch Riddle.Cool story bro.
This was what Swiss had to say...Vanderzant said:You're right, I didn't realise it was a breach of rules, until you brought it to Town's attention. But can you (or Swiss) say with a straight face that you legitimately thought that X1 was scum based on him claiming scum?
Look, when I said rule breaking, I meant X1's #2. Swiss voted him because of his #2. I also made the assumption that Swiss was 'fine' with his lynch based on his other posts during the day.
Where in there does he suggest that he wanted to lynch X-1 for breaking the rules? You had absolutely no reason to believe "breaking the rules" was why he was fine with X-1's lynch, WHEN HE EXPLICITLY STATED WHY HE WAS FINE WITH LYNCHING X-1 AND THAT WASN'T IT. You tunneled on that rather ridiculous point for...forever. I can't believe that sort of play is what you truly call "scumhunting". I call it a failed attempt to frame a townie. And you can die for it.Swiss said:I think we should just go ahead and lynch X1-12. He's playing like he did last game and he was scum there.
Clarify what you mean by "I'll go willingly into that good night"Cello said:However, as a sign of good faith, and as proof that I'm not just saying this to evade a lynch, I'll accept the conditions of your terms with YOU as the lynch. If YOU end up town, I'll go willingly into that good night.
This is a terrible excuse for quick hammering. Lynching someone when you think they're town? If Cello seriously thought he was going to be lynched Day 1 (and that it would of lead to X1's lynch Day 2) he could of easily said "there's a high chance that X1 is town" and his flip could of stopped Day 2 from being X1 lynch. ToDay is proof alone that people generally never get auto-blamed for the lynch of a Townie. By Cello's logic, all of the scum should of mad tunnelled him early on. Yet he claims that because no one wanted him to be lynched that is an indication of him being Town.Cello said:Also, no, I can't say I thought he was scum. I actually thought there was a very high chance he was a townie after conversing with him. But, when he refused to acknowledge my warning and change his views of me, he had to die. It's very simple; I'm more valuable than he is. The mere fact that I am alive with no real opposition is pudding proof of that; had I been lynched, people would have clamored for his blood (pushed along by you, of course), and that would be two townies lost.
What caused this? For that matter, you never explained to us WHY you were willing to lynch Riddle in the first place.Vanderzant said:Although I have obviously withdrawn my stance on Riddle.
This was right before our good Doctor, tho we didn't know that's what he was at the time, said right before being shotgun'd in the nugget. Couple that and the fact that he hasn't asked any meaningful questions until post #100, Vult's done nothing but lurk and make snarky comments. At the very least he's coming off as a bad townie to me. But I think it's more than that, and I'm leaning very heavily towards putting my vote on Vult. However, I'm also wary of Riddle's behavior. I'm reserving my vote till after a vote count.Writer Kupo said:The way I see it (or at least first saw it when Cello pointed it out and Roxy first posted in response to it), lynching him right now is semi-justification for his rule breaking.
My other suspicion is Vult. I don't get the same feeling of "don't lynch this person" that I got last time. In fact, I'm kind of getting the complete opposite.
The fact that you and Swiss are both willing to lynch him, and Isu said he would support the lynch. You 3 + Kupo and myself were the people on the X1 wagon. It doesn't take much to figure out the rest.What caused this? For that matter, you never explained to us WHY you were willing to lynch Riddle in the first place.
