To be honset, I'm feeling kind of disinterested in the game. I'll stump myself once I answer Summoner's question.
You're willing to stump yourself
after you answer Summoner? Did you forget that you can still talk after stumping (that's kinda the point...)? Stump yourself now if you intend to at all.
Let's not waste any more time with SSBF. It's obvious that he's scum; let's move on. Since there are 10 trees still in play, we'll still need 6 votes, unless people want to go to 5. Actually, I think it would be a good idea if people responded to this point, with tHe-Man going first.
@Xonar (offnote): Sorry to hear you're depressed.
Assault against tHe-Man
Frankly, tHe-Man's post recent post (the first in six days, and the second in
eleven days[unless you count Ryker's post, in which it is three posts...in eleven days]), reads more to me like it should say, "Post to avoid prod". Actually, every post of his since the first couple of days of the game reads like that.
Eleven days. Eleven days. We're already into overtime, by now.
Let's consider what tHe-Man has actually done so far.
It was obvious to everyone that Popcorn was a terrible, terrible idea. But, instead, you opted to keep your options loose; you agreed in principle, but not that it
could be done. In many ways, this is similar to my argument against Brockin.
He then protects Pierre from Heatstroke and Today by attacking my methods, claiming that if Pierre had responded to my accusations, then he'd "get a bull**** response". Super Deluxe Chainsaw Defense Variation Mach 7. (Sidenote: I wonder if the ****** Ryker was referring to was Xonar?)
tHe-Man's argument that putting people at L-1 was a bad idea because scum could self-hammer made sense enough at the time, but then you have to consider that he never offered a viable alternative. That was me; I proposed a corollary to my original suggesting that we only virtually vote.
His focus was only on the negative. So, what was tHe-Man's intent? That we play the game normally? Why would he want to abandon a system he agreed would be useful just because...scum might kill themselves. Duh, that's how we win.
Agrees with general sentiment against me (with no actual reason, instead just saying I "reek of scum"), says in his response to my questions to him that he "hates to lurk", then says that "Xonar slows him down...[and he can] trump people later", essentially claiming license to lurk despite his personality.
Also notable is something that occurred in Muppets. I'll only comment on common knowledge (i.e. known flips), but it's important because it influences my reasoning. Xonar (scum) lynched McMayMays (town) in that game. He makes several points against them, and kills them in the same post without giving them a chance to respond. Ryker was responsible for the post in which that occurs in this game, but Xonar still influenced him, as we are aware they had spoken by that point. Here, tHe-Man says, "I get angry when people are ******** after something has been spelled out in front of them", in reference to Popcorn suggestion, no doubt, followed later
in the same post with "Second, **** YOU! GO KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!! Why the hell would you want to make this Popcorn Mafia?". No one other than him "spelled out" why it would be a bad idea. A similar incident when he says "NO! NO! NO! Do NOT use our deadline extension" and "No, don't put him at L-1. I've already explained that that is a HORRIBLE idea." in the same post, i.e. berating me for going against an explanation without being given a chance to respond.
Despite "not liking Brockin and Pierre", his next posts (almost a third of his total number of posts) have nothing to do with either. Instead, it focuses on Omis for what was essentially no reason. He then casts Heatstroke in a bad light, then
finally gets around to "attacking" Brockin afterward. By "attacking", I mean that he parrots my stance about the logs, then hypocritically says that "votes put people on the defensive" right after he voted for Omis to accomplish that very goal.
"We should stump four people today, methinks, and use our extension tomorrow if it isn't over."
I have a huge problem with this. This sentence shows a fundamental misunderstanding of CelloSystem. He wants to stump an arbitrary number of people? Why? Why would we not stump until we find scum? Why would we stop stumping and decide to lynch at MyLo? Why wouldn't we lynch when we
did find scum? Later, he says he doesn't want to "overstump". We
cannot overstump in this game. That simply isn't possible. Again, fundamental misunderstanding.
Also of note, the "overstump caution" post is the same post in which he suddenly changes his mind on Pierre and actually votes for Brockin,
after my first virtual vote count, in which Pierre has the most votes. SSBF also attacks my virtual vote counts at that point, saying that I'm not the mod.
Eleven days. That's how long they waited.
