It was my first post in the topic, and I was curious as to who was making up the hydra, considering that I didn't know we had one in this game. If I had put that question after I commented on the sheriff thing, would that have made you feel better? Or maybe I shouldn't have asked at all, and just guessed.McFox's #32 looks totally fake. Look at the structure of the paragraph. The focus at the moment was the sheriff election. However, the first thing out of his mouth was to ask about NOAWG, as though to establish that he knew nothing about/had nothing to do with him.
Pushed for a lynch of a probable townie? Let's go back and check what I actually said:Then, he did something that I did myself in L4S. He pushed for the lynch of a probable townie citing dissuasion as the reason. In my case, it was for role-claiming; here, it was self-vote sheriff. The reason I considered this point was because of his waffling on #75.
andMcFox said:Definitely agree about the sheriff thing, if we actually can avoid it. No need to give maf an extra vote, and I probably wouldn't feel confident enough about anyone after 4 days. DVers aren't excessively powerful, but their presence can still be felt enough to where it would really matter if they are in endgame.
Which probable townie am I pushing a lynch for? Unless you mean a hypothetical townie who ends up sheriff. In which case, yes, what I had to say was for disuasion. Just because you did something as mafia doesn't mean it can never be done as town. I thought it was a bad idea to have a sheriff, so I tried to dissuade it from happening.I will definitely push hard for whoever ends up sheriff, regardless of how they got there. As Gheb (referring Circus and Gheb, don't know which) (Ithink it was them, I'm on iPhone), the mafia benefits for a doublevoter vastly outweigh town benefits. Like they said, even if the sheriff IS town he/she could end up using it incorrectly. Not to mention terrible WIFOM on who gets elected and why.
I'll amend my earlier statement by saying that I will also be inboard to lynch anyone who has a vote down for anyone to be sheriff at the election time-limit. If you're town, you're only serving to confuse us by making us deal with heavy WIFOM-related issues early on D1.
Just because I voted for you doesn't mean I was 100% committed to your lynch. And just because you're the most active player doesn't mean you are automatically town either. That's the difference between our playstyles Cello: you want figure out everything immediately, whereas I realize we still have some time left in the game (considering we're still on D1), and flips could influence my opinion. Right now, I believe you are town. But I don't want you getting a free pass just because you're the most active. That's very dangerous thinking, and it pretty much won the game for mafia in Simpsons mafia, where Kev was by far the most active poster and, woops!, the Mafia Traitor. Someone has to be willing to step up and question you, and everybody else. Committing to anything without hearing both sides is foolhardy.I don't like the completely non-committed stance he claims to have on me. He has been saying over and over again that he can't read me, and even then that is just in terms of activity. But, whenever he makes a comment on me, it's anything but non-committed. It's polarized. He's said that "the things he's said up to now seem obvtown", but before that, was swayed enough by my rolefishing for Idiot to vote for me, calling the action transparently scummy or stupid.
So since it's so important to you, here's my stance on Cello: I believe him to be town, for now. But I always retain a skeptical eye on everyone.
This one is just BS. I voted Meta-Kirb when his argument with Mayling clearly painted him as scum. I never tried to defend him, not even softly. If I were scum, I would either attempt to get Mayling off of his back, or if I didn't think I were up to that, ignore the case entirely. Instead, I just immediately voted for him. Soon after I voted, Mayling backed down from her back-and-forth, just when I thought she was doing well. She never unvoted, but her words seemed to indicate that she suspected MK less. This basically left me as the person with the most suspicion on him. I could have easily unvoted MK, and found any of numerous reasons to vote for anyone else. I could have said something like, for instance:Finally, his argument with Meta-Kirby screams bus to me. I don't really have any solid points to support this other than what's written between them. McFox did switch his vote to Meta-Kirby before May and MetaKirby finished their exchange and later claimed that was the major reason for his vote, but I could see how he would have changed his mind by then.
But did I do that? No. When I saw that no one else was stepping up on the MK case, I took charge of it here, in 284, and then really stepped it up in 297. If I were scum, it would have been easy (or at least, easier) to get off of MK's case at several points instead of continuing to push it. But I did, because I honestly believe he's scum. If I were bussing, that would be the most hardcore bus I've ever seen.Omis said:MK is giving me a hardcore frustrated tell. He seems pretty pissed about how the way the game is going. He isnt consistent but that isnt the biggest of tells. Gonna reread.
Now keep in mind, assuming he does flip scum, I still don't want a "Get out of lynch free" card for it. All of my actions should be questioned, just like everyone else's. If I were bussing, I would not feel this way. If I were bussing, it would be with the mindset that people won't suspect me, since I was influential in bringing down a werewolf. But, since I am up to the scrutiny, I encourage people to continue to have doubts about me.
I am not bussing MK. I think he is scum, and after Mayling started to let the case drop, I picked up the slack. That would be a dedication to bussing the likes of which I've never seen before.
