BarDulL. STAHP!

If you post one more freaking time about how you must be town because you claimed Gideon, I'm just going to freaking vote for you.
You posting about Bard's repetition of claim in a sea of posts about Bard's repetition of claim.
The reason I'm bringing you up is because you're a prime example of what I'm talking about, a read lost in the muck.

I'm just confused at the 180 whiplash. *shrug*
You're treating Bard as The Big Setup Deal, when prior to that your attention was pointed in a good direction. We're not in endgame, or near endgame, and I've already got due attention paid to Bard, so you (as a resource) would be better-suited to the productive things you were already doing.

Except that now, he finally stopped. My post was not muck in a sea of muck, it was a shining beacon of logic.
You've got to be kidding me. Bard fights like a dog for thread control against people he deems to be challenging his posts. Bard "stopping" when he did was only by merit of his already having said it a few times (not as many as has been bandied about, even) and not having posted it since. Correlation is not causation.

Meh. Just meh because I know you are right and my logic is sound but I may have jumped the gun.

But I'm a jealous man Nabe, better not get too deep into this affair with Bardull.

Anyways, I'm pretty okay with ending the day now and would like a claim from FML.

Vote: FullMetalLynch

I know there are questions still pertaining to me which I will get to in a bit.

Longer nap than anticipated but a longer nap is never a bad thing. Reading, nodding, liking posts, grabbing posts, saw this and thought just quick hit this one.




Bardull, I really don't think you understand, in any sense of the word, that claiming the bad guy doesn't mean anything at all in most mafia games. I have claimed countless "bad characters" as town and have certainly claimed "good characters" as mafia. I can't remember which game it was but the scum-team had a safe-claim of the protagonist of whatever series it is. Ever since, names/flavour/whatever don't matter a lick to me unless it is blatantly obvious which even in those cases I still make sure that every avenue has been covered in it. Stop using "I claimed the main bad guy LOOK HOW SUPER TOWN I MUST BE." because it's a terrible defense and also keeps making you look worse and worse since that's all you are truly claiming to in the end. No one had forced you to claim, you just claimed to claim because you were fearful of something happening to you while you were V/LA.

Just stop.

It's not like I'm doing it for weird reasons, I'm doing it because it's what I feel is the best play. Additionally, it's only mysterious to you because you want an explanation and I'm not providing an answer to your surface level curiosity. No one else is making a deal out of it except you.

...

If you neighbored me, I wouldn't tell you because there's no reason for you to require that knowledge in the first place. You have not given me any actually good reason for desiring to know, and it's a little weird that you've been incessant about it this entire day phase.
No, I'm not saying that your role is mysterious. I'm saying that you're acting mysterious, and what I mean by that is that it's in ignorance of my side of the field. When I told you that I am going to shoot you toNight and quite potentially waste both of our time and lives, I'd expect you to indulge my "curiosity", or at least try to convince me not to hit the red button. Or at even-less-least, agree to talk it over in a neighbourhood. Instead you've given me attitude, which you're always liable to do when you disagree with posts as any faction. But as you get more volatile you just end up stonewalling a proper read on you, and driving people to do stupid things like gangbanging you with negative posts for a page and a half and generally antagonizing you with things that don't matter.

I'm still not claiming at L-3.

Tried to skim J's posts but I need to step back from this thread, chat with Orbo and we'll prolly whip something up.

I don't mean to spit in your face Nabe, because you've relieved my slot of undue pressure from a wave of inherent silliness. That being said, don't interpret this post as such.

I don't "try to act mysterious," Nabe. That's not my forte. Maybe awhile ago when I was like, 12, but what good does it do now? It's childish and stupid. You're misinterpreting the facts. Also, to say that I was acting in ignorance is hopefully you not turning a blind eye to your own actions; if I was reading you as Town, then I may have indulged you in your hypothetical the way you expected me to. Let's not forget you jumped on that poor excuse of a wagon that began on my slot early in the game and you had yet to explain yourself at all. Who are you to waltz in and assert yourself and then expect me to read you as town with your small contributions (no credibility)? You didn't seriously expect me to trust you, did you? It's only now through your level of comprehension that has shined through a sea comprised of molasses-esque substances that you've managed to make a dent in my initially perceived vision of the facts. But were you truly blinded by your own actions enough to presume that I would gracefully dance like a puppet for you and answer your questions after all was said and done, let alone read you as Town?

This is my last post for awhile. I'm disappointed and annoyed with specific people and specific things both here and outside of the game, and probably won't have interest in this game for a week or two while I prepare for the summer.

Bardull if you're intentionally being inactive then replace out, don't be a nuisance, not going to try and read a slot that isn't even playing the game.

allow me and Orbo to passively pressure him while we pursue other routes.

you should be very familiar with my passive scum reading style as I did it for the better part of D1 in Gs mafia on you n Orbo.
Now I find FML to be null, because he's doing the same passive pressure thing I have seen him do as town before. I see PJB has even said that FML has claimed all credit while it really isn't his doing that got BW the attention he did. I expect that of him, Rake seems to have that stubborn air about him. He has his own weird tools and tells, and he even expects people to act or think in ways that I don't think they can or at least might not even remember. (The underlined)

Yet he's shaping up to be the lynch today. I would rather lynch Kary but it doesn't seem to be happening when others prefer FML over Kary. I don't see much scumminess from FML but I have no qualms with him dying. I'm going to leave my vote on him due to being VLA tommorow and out at New York. Zen Join me.

Unvote Vote: FML

FML, now that you are L-2, you should claim. Consider that waiting any more to claim will cause us to scramble to find another lynch and may endanger us with a no lynch. I suggest you give a updated full read list.

I'll also unvote if he either posted once or has posted. Putting my socks and shoes on now.

FrozenFlame is being replaced. What do now? (Was reading into FML a bit and realized this)

that damn avatar

here. I answer your points.
This doesn't relieve my concerns with you leaving a vote on him when he's vla. You are using the excuse of him coming in here while vla to sit on him and not do anything else. Since you have had your vote on Bardull the whole time, tell me how it has helped you read him (and tell me your opinion of him now).
i'm not making excuses for anything- him posting during during his v/la is really only relevant to why he claimed. having a vote on bardull gives him an opportunity to respond to it. like how he gives a big wishy washy read on my slot. then complains about me being dumb or scum. beyond that i've been asking him questions.


Huh? I don't understand what you mean here. Please clarify.
you asked me why my play early this game was different to later. I started this game being shouty at FML, just giving them CAPS and things to WORRY about. When FML started to flail and basically just talk about defending themselves, that playstyle wasn't necessary anymore.


His exact words when claiming doesn't matter. Just because he didn't exactly say he was claiming because he was hated, doesn't mean it isn't implied that he is claiming hated because he will be vla and therefore doesn't want **** to happen to him, a hated role, while vla.

To make it easier to understand "I'm claiming because I'll be VLA" implies he is also claiming because he is hated, when you see this: "I'm claiming [a hated role] because I'll be VLA"

You are only focusing on him 'not even being vla' but you aren't considering his hated role.
His wording does matter.
Maybe he's claiming because he's V/LA. Maybe because he's hated. Maybe because both.
Maybe he's claiming because he's scum and he thinks it will clear him.

If I want to try and understand why he claimed, i'm going to look at what wording he used. I'm going to ask him about it.
I'm going to say 'you said this, but you did that'? even when I know there might be a reasonable explanation. I'm considering everything he's said about his role, but i'm only giving him a hard time about the parts I find suspicious.


Kary accuses FML of making **** up with moving his vote. FML explains yet instead, he doesn't follow up and instead (while asking kantrip a question and a question about vinyl), goes on to add more reasons for his dislike towards FML, in the following quote:

This shows he doesn't care to consider FML's defense, and only wants to condemn him.

Now Kary. What do you think of FML's explanation to your question? Why didn't you respond to it?
I asked FML about their explanation of their early game votes, because to me it was whack. they went on to explain it. It wasn't an explanation that filled me with confidence, but there wasn't anything to it that I wanted to follow up. When someone answers your question, you don't have to ask them another question.

now, I also felt that their response to pressure was weird, i.e. that they were trying to dispel people's scumreads on them by questioning them about it. Rather than just answering someone, or saying that their points don't make sense, they were trying to have a conversation about why their slot was scum. IMO, when you're town, that's a waste of time.

Now, when I see them doing this same thing again, I try and point it out again. I'm not trying to heap more dislike on their slot, i'm trying to get a better explanation from them, to get a better read on them. Me trying to interact with other slots in the meantime is irrelevant.


blegh. i hope this formats properly

No your not.

Your assertion of me flailing in response to your caps is hilariously inaccurate.

Don't be a ****. Hammer and find out your just very silly beans.

It hasn't changed too much because I've been the only head around the last couple days.

Lesse if I can remember without me an Orbo's notes.

J: scum lean due to what I've mainly tried to lay out yesterday.

Marshy: scum lean

Gova: scum

Pjb: town lean

Kantrip: bit of a town lean

Bardull: null with a bit of a town lean

Nabe: see bard

Vinyl: null scummy

Kevmo: null

Kary: null town
