You know, I saw Kev call us stupid and thought "Man, if only I could escalate that and throw it back in his face.
That would solve everything."
Kev is right about this entire game revolving around you right now Cello, and I don't like it either. Instead of having a group discussion, you're tossing around orders like "I won't accept a lynch that isn't May or Kev." And since you're a confirmed town, everybody feels like they have to listen to you. It's antagonizing
even to the people that agree with you. I'm tempted to defend Mayling just because of the way you're acting. Instead of Town vs. Scum, this game has become Cello vs. Everyone.
For instance, telling mentos how to use his power is incredibly anti-town. You really don't get a town read on mentos right now? He's coasting and keeps apologizing for doing so, but attempting to work with the town when he is here. This is what mentos
always does as town, despite his early-game promise to the contrary. Sure, it's something he could exploit as scum, in which case we have a good candidate for a late-Day lynch. But if he's telling the truth, then you're just setting him up to 1) die, and 2) give scum a second NK on
N3. That, if I may say so, would be a bad time for a second NK, more so than earlier Days.
Please, try to engage the town, instead of ruling it. You're so sure that you're right, 100% of the time, that it becomes disengenuous. Your reads on D1 (who you were, quote, "sure" about) are very different from your reads right now, and who knows how they're going to change by tomorrow? Maybe you'll reread things "with a different mindset" and suddenly change everything you thought before. Or maybe you'll get a different investigation result than what you were expecting?
The problem with thinking that you're always right is that
sometimes you aren't. And bossing around the town like you are always right just antagonizes everybody. So instead, I want to pose the following to pretty much everyone
except you Cello. Feel free to chime in, but I'm not really looking for your opinion here either.
@everyone, we all know that Cacti/Chaco have given us pretty much absolutely nothing so far in this game. *I was going to quote all of their posts here, but that'd be obnoxious, and there wouldn't really be much to glean from them. If you feel like making any kind of case against Cacti, be my guest, but he didn't really say much that I could discern either way.
Instead, I want to look at Omis, since I've gotten a weird feeling from him all game.
After rereading some, I'm stuck.
*Addendum* I wrote the following as I went through the topic, which is why it reads like I'm being surprised by the things I'm finding.
I had started a big anti-Omis post, but then changed my mind, and now I'm back in the middle. In the beginning of D1, Omis does some pretty scummy stuff, like
admitting to quoting someone else just to show that other people are thinking the same as him, and some
hardcore quote cherry-picking in an (ill-fated) attempt to make Cello look bad. Even goes so far as to call Cello scum and say that he caught him, but refuses to put down his vote, so it becomes a major nudge. And a bad one at that, as Omis' claims against Cello are clearly out there.
But then,
later in D1, Omis defends MK, calling him a frustrated townie, instead of, say, finding a reason to vote for him.
Hmm, but then not long after that,
Omis both approves of voting for him (as long as he's not hammering) and reveals that he is hardcore skimming.
Next up:
Omis said:
Vote MetaKirby
Claim or eat my balls
This, to a guy not just a few posts ago said he got a frustrated town read from. Apparently not enough to defend that person, just enough to comment on it and then force him to claim anyway.
But then, right after then when MK Appeals to our Emotions:
Omis said:
unvote MetaKirby
I am satisfied....for now. Stop asking for pity and make your cases earlier.
He unvotes him.
But then later,
Omis said:
Unfortunately, I believe we should just go with MK.
Stop baiting claims people
Mentos is a weak player for claiming
Cello is too aggressive and selfish
I hate claims in general
THIS, coming from the guy who said "claim or eat my balls."
Omis is just confusing, so I'm throwing all of this up there for everyone to comment on. How do y'all interpret this? Omis is all over the place, although the last thing I pointed out is a clear and blatant contradiction.
Next, let's move on to Kev, since it's inexplicable to him how anyone could suspect him. I'm going to organize the following by subject matter. We'll start with Xonar:

Vote Xonar
Him or MK today
Big anti-Xonar post. What changed between this post and the following one?
Kev said:
Vote MK
Xonar can stay now.
Kev said:
Kev -> (to Xonar) said:
Didn't notice, I was to stunned I agreed with you rofl.
And now he and Xonar have been buddying.
Next, Macman, which will then segue into me:

What changed between this post and the following one?
Kev said:
Macman I'm getting townie vibes from.
Mcfox should go tomorrow.
Kev said:
Mac is super townie right now.
Kev said:
Scum goes in order of
Mcfox
Omis
Kirbyo
Agreed with that order?
What changed between this post and the following one?
Kev said:
Chaco, Omis today.
Vote Mcfox
Yo stay alive brah
I can kind of see the town-Kev now that I isolate them from the rest of the game.
@Kev - I think the problem people are having with you is that you rarely explain your votes. This leaves room for people to attribute their own reasons for it. Please, explain why you changed your opinion on Mac and Xonar from scum to town yesterday, and on me today. Do you actually have anything against Chaco aside from the fact that he's coasting? Do you not also see mentos playing just like he always does as town, and if so, what are your reasons for wanting him gone?
See, I'm being civil. You can answer
my questions, right?
