How hard was that to understand. I said promise me you aren't scum. You couldn't ergo I have caught a scum!

There's something that's bothering me a lot in this game thus far, and I figure I might as well flesh it out now.

It seems that some in this game are ready to lynch people because of their playstyle rather than their scumminess.

In brief: "I want to lynch Player X because they're posting fluff."

Player X: "I always fluff on Day 1. THere's not nearly as much to go on."

Player Y: "I don't like that. In principle,
vote Player X.


Player X: "I've already told you that's what I do on Day 1."

Player Y: "Fine. Then I'm going to try to get you lynched for it."

Bothers the hell out of me.

Nero brings up a good point in regards to Dr. C. He was the first one on the Krab wagon and advocated that lynch for all of day one, but once the vote count was reset, he's been content to just sit on his vote and cheer on that wagon from the sidelines. In the immortal words of The Hurricane, "Whassupwitdat?"

Alright, fair enough. I'll admit that part of the reason I pointed it out is because I just learned what the Amished tell is in my first game and I just wanted to show off a little. So, yeah.

Ditto. It's been a long day one and we got a lot of shit done, but I'm ready for a break. Looking forward to turning my brain off and doing nothing for a few days when night one gets here.

You know what bothers the hell out of

People who use meta to wave away any incriminating behavior that they exhibit. Meta isn't a magic wand that you can twirl around in the air to transform all your poor actions into good actions. You might as well be saying that your meta is the only reason people are suspicious of you right now. "Don't vote for me because I've been scummy! That's just my meta!"

Give me a friggin' break.

That's not even close to what I'm saying, and you know it.

What I'm saying is that I feel as though people are voting for me
because they don't like the way I play.
It bothers me. I'm sorry if you don't like that I said it, but last I checked, I have a right to.

Or...wait. What are you gonna do...vote for me HARDER?

Give me a break.

Maybe I'm being obtuse, but this is something that probably goes back farther than this game.

I absolutely cannot stand the "you're not pushing people, or trying to analyze minutia, or calling someone scum because they forgot to use an apostrophe on Day One" line of thinking.

Posting fluff is
absolutely/i] a viable way to catch scum. You know why?

Because scum love to latch on to stupid excuses to try to lynch people. SPECIFICALLY on Day One.

To that end, I absolutely guarantee you that there are scum on my wagon right now. Please, I beg of you. Do an ISO on Malcolm.

Enhance your calm, goatface. Dr. Shelby is gonna make us hug it out if we keep this up, and I don't want to do that because you smell funny.

Okay, how about this. Krab Bucket was ludicrously scummy, and Mutley hasn't done much to change that. That slot needs to die. If Malcolm really is a Vigilante or whatever he's been hinting at, it sounds like he intends to solve our Goat problem tonight. I'll switch my vote over to Mutley to lend my support to that wagon. If Malcolm shoots you tonight and you happen to flip Town, I promise I'll put on my singlet, lace up my boots, slather myself in way too much baby oil, and do battle with Malcolm tomorrow. Sound good?

In post 1603, Nero Cain wrote:PA, what is your Goat read?
I don't have a town read on him right now but he's not my first choice to lynch. His posts are deteriorating a bit from early game in glancing through his ISO, but it's not clear to me that his interaction with GCBC was way scummy. If that fake vig claim had tipped him off about GCBC being rival scum there were less conspicuous ways to crumb his support of the triple power jump to his teammates without leaving himself on the wagon. It actually seems like 25 pages go by between GCBC's fake action and the daykill. If The Goat knew his faction had the option to eliminate GCBC during the day, why jump so quickly?

I don't like his latest posting on how he thinks if people say their playstyle is scummy they should get a pass. If your playstyle looks scummy and you can't make it work for you, change it or accept that you're going to spend a lot of time on defense. Like I said, my vote's not going there, but I'm not inclined to grump at people if he ends up being lynched.

It is interesting though that you say I'm being general on Malcolm when your reads list was this:

I didn't say you were being general, sorry if you misunderstood. I meant what I was saying was a very general point about mafia, that scum have to look town so what better way than posting in depth analysis. I read it back now and I see it came across as me saying your point was general

My vote probably won't stay there, but at this moment of time it feels right.

At work right now though so I can't do much more. Going to do some ISO-ing of our current vote leaders on my lunch break, and the rest when I get home and see what I can find.

Why are you doing this if you want a fuzzy lynch?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Why are you doing this if you want a fuzzy lynch?
I don't rule out any possibilities. Everyone else is making cases about other people, so I figured I should see if after some personal investigation I agree with another case more. Fuzzy doesn't have a lot of content in here, so I don't exactly have a lot to go off of, so another lynch may be more favourable. If I don't find anything that peaks my interest, my vote stays on Fuzzy. Simple as that.

That said, we aren't having a no lynch today. If I have to compromise my position to ensure we get a flip, I'll do it.
