I don't think there's much use in quoting Amrun's wall about my behavior during the NS-lynch, but if you read the happenings yourself, you'll see this is a subtle mix between misrep and choosing interpretations of events wisely.
I'll just tell you exactly what happened, with my point of view of town, and that's described in post
1260.
So I'm just going to bother to reply to what Amrun had tos ay about that one, because every comment before that was adressed by this reply.
Amrun said to
1260
He says he didn't vote a town read but he called NS town shortly before voting for him for the first time. He says he didn't have a scum read, despite calling NS scum. He has to go out of his way to explain that NS was nothing but a compromise vote, ever, because it doesn't really make much sense.
This is simply not true.
NS was indeed a null-read. I really don't see how this comes as a surprise, given he had only posted 11 times. If anything is surprising, it's how Elyse basically already seemed to "know" NS wasn't going to flip town, and only after insistance by Wisdom was preprared to consider the thought he wasn't scum, resulting Wisdom to enter Elyse's possbiel scumreads.
But I digress.
So NS was null. Yes, I thought I saw some townishness in his last post, where he said he really had no idea who to call scum anymore and how he was at a complete loss. To me this sounded honest. It gave him townpoints. It didn't make him town. One post like that obviously does not make you town.
I also never called him scum. When removing my vote from Wisdom I said this, in
1239:
I'd feel bad about letting you slide once again in case you do end up being scum, but I'd feel worse
if
you're actual town having put a lot of effort in this game and letting Nobody Special being lurksack lazy scum with 11 posts live on. Somehow doesn't seem fair
Notice the word in bold.
This choice for moving my vote was me simply being pragmatic about things.
Both were equally possibly scum in my eyes at that point, but given Wisdom's activity you'd know there will be further chances to read him and catch him.
Like many correctly said, what Nobody Secpail had given us at that point, was probably all that he was going to give us even if we had kept him alive.
If anyone has been open about their thought-processes, it's me. I jot everything I'm thinking down, no filter, resulting in lots of posts and lots of walls. This is probably what Amrun was referring to when saying this:
In post 486, Amrun wrote:Oh, and grim, the blood of righteousness has nothing to do with you and saying it did is a huge stretch.
Also I don't mean to imply that you're defenseless. You do, however, fall under a certain category of newer players that behave a certain way (until they gain some experience). You're also pretty sensitive. It has very little to do with you and everything to do with Majiffy's motivations.
I see now how I'm behaving like a newbie under a certain category. I think and I post it. Wisdom falls under a similar category, though I'm not sure he thinks as much as I do, looking at some of his posts. (:mrgreen:, just kidding, sounded funny)
Who is always consistent in their thoughts? Who never changes his mind about something? Exactly.
So yes, it is very easy to make my posts look like someone who is being opportunistic in his ideas, especially when ISO'ing me. But my thoughts are not meant to be read in ISO, they're meant to be read in context. And the context explains perfectly why I change my mind about certain things.
Amrun KNOWS this. And she's trying to cash in on it.
Also look at her
456, and how she feels about picking on the newbie. This is exactly what she's doing here, in her times of distress. How mean.
Grim is an NS buddy. I'll bet my life on it, and at this point, I pretty much want to die because no one will take me seriously until I do. WHEN I FLIP TOWN, DO NOT FORGOT THAT GRIM IS NS' BUDDY. DO NOT FORGET IT. KILL HIM.
If you're talking about your "life" within the realms of this game, I'm very willing to take that bet.
If you're talknig about anything else, I hope for your sake the devil is not listening.
I'm not a betting man so I'll stick to what I think: Amrun just pulled together some scraps of my thoughts and molded them together nicely in an image of me being a waffling scumbag, trying to do everything possible to evade an NS lynch, and then to decide to bus him after all. This is only one interpretation. Amrun knows tihs is an interpretation. Betting her life on something based on a "case" like that, is just a plain and simple AtE. Nothing more.
The thing is, I can't make sense out of any scumteam that doesn't have Amrun in it.
I know this won't be doing much good to my case, but I'm starting to get the creepy feeling we've been giving a free-pass to both Majiffy (his challenge) and AngryPidgeon (his real-life anecdotes) a bit too easily. %Ajiffy admitted to me somewhere he busses his partners hard, so the Nobody Special-lynch doesn't teach us anything in this regard. The man is certainly capable of taking matters in his own hands and directing a game, and considering how we're running out of scum-candidates, tihs might be a sign some attention should be brought back to him. Angry Pidgeon's obsession with me makes me feel very uneasy. It has never been adequatelly backed up.
PS: Did Amrun give her full list of reads yet?
