One more question: Who is Joey? I keep seeing his name posted, but I haven't figured out who Joey is.

This is something I get. I'm not a fan of someone jumping a bandwagon going "I hate you, but I think the same thing as you without ever acknowledging it."Not a fan of you disliking Ranmaru for his initial push on Keybladeguy but also voting Keybladeguy for the same reasoning Ranmaru pushed Keybladeguy for within his more recent posts.
Also, "Ranmaru second pick"? Do you think Keybladeguy is scum #1 and Ranmaru is scum #2?
Vote: -Masquerain-
This is where Orboknown popped up on my radar, right here. I've seen this inane question asked a few times, but most just take it as a joke but move on. Orbo just seems...defensive.dabuz what does this question net you?
And when Ranmaru flipped town, then how did that change your opinion on KeybladeGuy if at all?If Ranmaru is scum, KBG is definitely town.
This makes me think the Zen kill was a way to dirty up YOLO. Whether that dirt was to make it look too obvious for him to be mafia or whether it was a way to cast dirt to make him a lynch target later is above me yet. I don't know how any of you play, I don't know who the vets are, so I don't know who is capable of making reverse psychology plays behind the scenes.its ez if zen flips traitor he gave us his two scummates
gg ez game lets lynch zen
Related to dabuz's question still. I believe you actually did.How does that help you? I don't believe a single person answered it, is that telling of anything?
Okay, here's the kicker, he starts looking to push what we know is a confirmed civ under the bus and he's the one operating the gear shift at this point.Ranscum is lost becaus ehe can't scumhunt. I would think that as traitor he could push himself to go onto his scummates. I wouldn't say he was hardbussing or anything because he's shifted off of KB completely since then and gone onto me(for whatever reason)
and joey after joey called him scum.
To be fair, Ran, in response to your #2 up there, I've seen Orbo just kinda flip on stuff because someone else showed him the light, all with no explanation. He did it in Golden Sun, where he was my hydra partner, and we were town. Someone said something to change his read on someone (I forget who it was), and he just flipped on it right away without a word about why to anyone. Not even me, his hydra partner.
And yet similar aggro was performed on Dabuz. How convenient that was omitted.Didn't read as a gutell with how seemingly aggro you pushed it as..
And yet he is. I think this might be the guy trying to get under the radar with a Zen night kill.He's not town in the slightest.
This is something that doesn't sit quite right with me. Especially announcing it. How are you going to find trusted civs when everyone now knows that you're ISO trusted civ BFFs? Everyone tries to warm up to you and you're still at square one. Unless you already know who those "trusted civs" are and can find them asap.I don't.. really know how to answer that.
I guess the biggest thing I'm changing about how I normally approach the game is trying to find townies I trust to bounce things off of. I usually just go with my own reads above all else, and trust nobody. I guess it's burned me a few times, because I'm clearly not perfect.
Okay, wait, hold the phone here. You were very quick to vote KBG, yet say you're careful with your vote. You also said "If Ran's mafia, then KGB's town for sure," but don't have the cajones to go with that read, and your one vote (which you unvoted) went the opposite way."I try not to be careless with my vote...
I am not certain of Ranmaru scum. If I was, I'd be voting him.
Still playing very "pot meet kettle" IMO.That hard over that little? Seemed to
much for the beginning of the game. Felt off.
Because I made an assumption before I read the game who was likely to make the shot off just a summary I was given?i really give no ****s about potato's play in tandem to ruy's here. i tend to try not to compare one player to another as everyone's meta is unique. ruy's play is 100% dislikable and if pjb takes off the blinders, he should see that.
Ruy is your bro, he wants to work with you, he doesn't like FML from D1 and from his back and forth with PJB, why is that TvT FML was trying to push it away from him and not trying to make it about trying to make his reads expand. Yes only PJB was responding to him, but expanding his reads he did not.
I hate his reads he posted to me, he has no solid reads and I don't buy ran flipping town is why. That means he didn't consider alternatives if he was wrong and what to look at, aka he is scum and didn't care who you lynch.
Your wrong on me being scum, where then?Ewww no Ryu, you know me and Orbo looked at it the TownRan side, don't be dense, but our reads were less developed from that side as we've self admitted. We just had too many eggs in the Ranscum basket, like I said.
Also this is horsehit. What do hyou expect the guy to do, take his lynch and let it happen? He's doing everything he can to try to be helpful and none of you guys have done much to help that slot.Ruy is your bro, he wants to work with you, he doesn't like FML from D1 and from his back and forth with PJB, why is that TvT FML was trying to push it away from him and not trying to make it about trying to make his reads expand.

Ahem.Someone explain to me why people view fml as scum. Because he was wrong about ran who was, surprise, also wrong? Gonna need more than that.
Ruy, I don't like the fact you focused on the night kill straight away despite claiming to read. It reads to me the same as some guy randomly popping up and saying so and so's an indy and we need to lynch him. I see where you're coming from but conversely look at the list of players, strike of people who are inactive or likely doc protects and lemme know who's left.
Also riddle me this: if fml thought ran was scum, why was ran shot? Who were ran's scumpicks after zen anyway?
MP how much experience do you have?
I simply don't like fml as the scumpick, I think pjb is town, mp's leaving a good impression. Of the active players, that leaves ruy as scum. We're gonna dive deep through 5 inactives probably to find two scum (cause if two scum are active, scum is pretty ****ed) and that's a nightmare.
Ran didn't like Orbo either.FML is L-1. Slow down, I am taking time to make a case on Zen because i'm most confident in Zen going toDay. If at that time no one is convinced, then I'm fine with going towards Orbo.
Cant believe he didnt post a catch up of his own or even give a reason for any of his reads. I expected more posts from him. What exactly did he say?
He's at work too guys.
So he rushed a vote while at work? Why not wait until he could fully explain his feels in thread.
How is it rushing?
By skimming the thread and voting/giving without reason while at work. That is rushing to me.
Stop imposing artificial bull**** you believe onto every one else.
Im sorry for speaking my thoughts? How about you tell me how that isn't rushing.
Because it's a vote that has reasoning to it. Rushing the vote would be if it was just thrown out there with nothing to it. Why don't you explain why its scummy? You're misinterpreting a lot of things and getting a lot of wrong terms in.[/COLOR]
Can you quote the reasoning?
This is what I don't like about FML.Zens case plus rake gut over a couple posts he saw. He didn't mention which.

Soup (been waffling recently; Need to see other people's thoughts on him)
So he leaves plenty of wiggle room for him to change if need be.dabuz's push on zen going all out wasn't something townbunz would do fopov. the fact zen flipped town and dabuz only got on him late in the day is a nice red flag.
Soup we're unsure about which is why we've been asking for opinions and the why's behind them.
Yolo is likely town but can never be sure withmarshy and kev.
KBG/Vinyl/Vocal all either null or not here.
Joey is probably town, haven't thought this over recently with rake but his thoughts matching mine fairly well is a good indicator of it to me.
tries to justify his play on an event he got lynched in a game for, and then keep the doors open.Plus, as Orbo said, look at Marshy reconsidering, he's actually entertaining the idea of badtown FML or so it appears.
So i mean cmon, think about it.
Even look at Scott Pilgirm, me and Orbo got hated on for being "bad " or terrible or w/e based on ARGUABLY bad play at points, but it was town abd, and in the end we pinned down 4/5 scummers in our reads in 1 dayphase.
The same is happening here, Orbo / Me do some questionable **** but we're fully quantified in our reasons for it and will defend em to the death. Jst as before.
I'm not saying we've nailed down scum yet, but with the Zenstraction out of the way i feel pretty good about it, even though we lost the researcher I'm not that worried.
Ran's aggro play was barely helpful or useful, and all he managed to do was miscall zen and myself, so the best he was gonna achieve is misusing his pr.
Dabuz and Soupslot present real opportunity here, maybe Marshy like Ryu said, but im not sure. Prolly gonna take a look there.
Plus then there's the inactive problem: Vocal and Keyblade guy: where do they fall and what do we do about them ?
I really kinda dread vocal being replaced because replacements kill towns momentum a lot of the time.
So again, cmon Joker, help me and I'll help you. It's not like you have to stop scum reading me, we can work together with you being Senoir Suspicions, i really dont care how if we do it, but dont be a Ranmaru who gets so stuck in and blinded by his own reads that he ignores the obvious, or anything else to some extent
This is bull.Also this is horsehit. What do hyou expect the guy to do, take his lynch and let it happen? He's doing everything he can to try to be helpful and none of you guys have done much to help that slot.
Proding you via quote notification.Ok, catching up today and tomorrow, should have full reads and such by then.

Hi I asked you why you want Full metal would like an answer.Give them thoughts and vote fullmetal.
How does shooting Ran put him in a worse situation over better?Stillso I'll get back to the longer post in a bit. Did wanna say that your argument falls through at that point cause a smarter scum, hell, scumFML wouldn't make the shot at ran in that position. If fml is scum (big if), why would you willingly put yourself in a worse situation with town already breathing down your neck? You have at least one inactive on your team at best. Unless soup is scum with him, then I don't see fml shooting ran with the logic you presented.
I didn't like the exchange you quoted but I have no idea of the context of it. Given that Ran was agreeing to go onto a fallback of that slot+hearing Marshy and even Soup wanting that lynch as well, I would think one would be a little frustrated? I dunno. I haven't read it myself and I'm simply going off hearsay, so I can't really make that judgment, just witness obviously biased statements in a game full of inactives.-snip-
So why, if FML is scum, would he shoot the most active player in the game that had him as his second lynch choice instead of Joey or Soup? I just don't see that fitting into scum's gameplan, not for a team that has to hold someone that you think is "smart enough" to shoot Ran when that's really the only shot. Your argument fails here and yet you keep coming back to it.Back to the me stuff.
Yolo/Ran/Soup were likely shots, not me or joey. Doc protect more likely on Yolo yes, but I could see balzy shots going there.
Yes there was more likely shots not at the inactives, no I do not think it was an obvious shot.
Because it's transparently removing someone as a threat to you and that's suspicious. Hell, you even had FML on your list of people smart enough to take that shot.How does shooting Ran put him in a worse situation over better?
Shooting one of Yolo/Ran/Soup, if he is town, helps him out.
He's been asking about Soup's slot constantly. No one's answered anything, even being told so far as to "bounce ideas off your own hydra partner". No one's buying a damn thing he says, no one's answering questions, nothing. He's looking for other options, yes, because he doesn't want to be lynched. Surprise, that's not scummy play. If you want to convince me he's scum, you need to detail where his sinister motives come from.This is bull.
I asked him some questions relating to his reads and have kept pressing him on this, he has every opportunity to change my mind.
How has he been trying to expand the thread more?
I have 5 games played among SRK players, 1 of which was an All Star game on there. I have one game in which I hosted.MP how much experience do you have?
His bad reactions to pressure and questions? He's been acting like he is guilty to people throwing suspicion on him.He's been asking about Soup's slot constantly.

They play differently over there, but the core of reading through BS and pushing suspects remains the same.
howHis bad reactions to pressure and questions? He's been acting like he is guilty to people throwing suspicion on him.
FYI people voters them after that exchange I posted not before it.
Like, seriously. This is such a stupid assumption to make. Saying "man, he's really the only target" and then saying "only three people are smart enough to realize that" is completely nonsensical.I'm only on page 5 but calling it now why Ran was shot, he was a safe shot that after butting heads with Zen left town with nothing, which limits down who is leading the scum team down by a lot, at most 3 candidates to call that shot.
But really, why isn't it Soup? You've deflected really ****ing hard away from that subject despite me bringing up that that's the only really sensible idea to me right now. Why not Soup? Why do you keep dodging that question?Soup, you and Yolo.
Others could make the call but I'm thinking if a leadership position.
But really why not Soup?/replace out
More details about that in the Social thread. Anyways, I'm town. The sudden backlash against me because Zen got himself lynched is part of a reason why I'm actually stoked to not have to deal with this thread. I think PJB's actions are far too cautious for his own good and I have noticed a tendency for him to only appear at intervals when either a wagon is forming or there is a sudden agreement on things. He hasn't taken the initiative to do anything for himself and I don't believe that him wanting to be more preserved is a credible enough excuse for being a blatant sheep. I also dislike Dabuz, but my reasons are kind of dull and dried out at this point, considering there was a massive DDoS that lasted about two weeks, which can do that to a person. I believe his suspicion of Zen was fabricated and that he wouldn't be likely to push something so fervently as town, more or less be confident about Zen in the way that he was. I think FML is still garbage too.
Sorry, I don't have anything else.
**** like this is messing with it though. this changes the nature of it but i still don't ****ing know why you latched onto this and kept talking about it without backing it up with actual ****ing play to support a hypothesis like this. just making the blanket statement "only a smart person would shoot this" and then not look directly into these three slots and put **** up to validate it. you waffled on my slot, whatever, but you still have yet to talk about soup. whyNo it was made with the knowledge Ran pushed Zen before I finished my read and thinking who would be more likely to say shoot Ran after he did that.
This is questionable, but then I'd have to read to clarify for myself. ****.Also Ran really didn't have that much thread sway from my POV; It was moreso spearheaded by marshy and soup to some extent, and they just happened to agree with Ran, giving him sway by proxy at best
literally **** like this is what he's been doing for a majority of what i've read. he's trying but it's not good enough for your ridiculous standards, i guess. tunnel vision too stronktheres three people posting! what èle am i supposed to be focused on? im going to do what i can while the game picks back up
Hi I asked you why you want Full metal would like an answer.
man ****ing vinylNah.
all he's done is tunnel harder and harder what the ****I like PJB more with recent posts.
Vote: FML
I'm game.
