My activity increased over the course of the game once I started forming stronger reads. If my object was survival there would be no reason for me to increase my posting frequency, which was low Day 1.In post 2622, zMuffinMan wrote: (1) how did you alter your posting pattern?
This is is straight-up scummy reasoning. I did not preemptively point to my record and claim that I am town. You are accusing me on the basis of my posting yesterday, and now I am offering an explanation and a reason that your argument is uncompelling even if you are not convinced by my own explanation of my behavior. I did not lay the groundwork for a defense. Until today, no one articulated any real suspicion of me anyway.(2) you say you gained nothing, but you're now using this as a defense - ergo you did gain something
You want scum? How about the people voting me with no explanation, no trajectory, and no substantial posts since the votes were cast. Read my cases on mollie and Kaze. Push Orc for content. But this is a dead-end, because when I get lynched, you will end up with a bandwagon full of people who have contributed nothing and no leads going into tomorrow. Or is that what you want?
If by "riding it out" you mean "leaping on it and just following it to the conclusion," no. I was perfectly willing to lynch FS because her contributions were at best nonexistent. But I had no damning case, so I posted none. That is what I meant by "riding it out."you did decide to ride it out (i don't know how you can suggest otherwise), though,
And if I had anything to hide, I would not have mentioned it at all.and you didn't decide to draw attention to it until it became a matter of you contrasting how you approached one scum lynch compared to another as a means of suggesting you cannot be scum because you would have approached them uniformly.
Because it relates to my defense.also if everyone rode out the flandre wagon, then why are you using it as part of your defense?
My conviction was appropriate, and justified. And ultimately validated.yes, it does
Nope, because a wagon does not mean the day has to end. Just like the Brian wagon on Day 1 did not mean his death, and the wagon on me currently does not inevitably mean I will die. There was still plenty of time for someone to post a case on someone else; no one did. But there is no way to know whether that will occur until it does or does not before the lynch.almost everyone thought mafiassk was likely scum -> there was no such general opinion on anyone else -> mafiassk lynch was definitely going to happen bar new information coming to light (mastin's defense wasn't new information)
muffin, what bothers me the most about your posts recently is that you claim my conviction about SSK was unjustified, and yet you are responding to me with an equal level of conviction. Everything I have said is just more evidence for you that I am scum, regardless of how plausible or reasonable or legitimate any other explanation is. I could be saying the exact opposite of what I am, and your responses would be just as vehement and just as irrational and just as convinced that I am scum. It makes no sense. You are not actually reading my posts; you are assuming that I am lying and I am scum and then twisting my words into something that is consistent with that. No defense of mine will ever be adequate for you. So lynch me, fine.
But I urge the other players not to let muffin -- or anyone, not even themselves -- get away with starting on square 1 tomorrow. Where is orc? Why is mollie not even being considered a suspect, even after I made the most thorough case against her that anyone has made against anyone in this game? Why are my posts being ignored almost completely? Why would the town players NOT want to have a reads list from a shrinking pool of suspects that are in a position, with my premature lynch, to start tomorrow with a blank slate because they have not been forced to commit to reading any other players or taking positions or actually looking at anyone besides the designated lynch for the day? This is just bad town play.
