Nothing was gained for the town by the lies spewed forth from boredom, even in the name of 'reaction testing'.
Its one thing to say
Daykill: Iecerint
in a game that is clearly flavor-heavy and have no indication that it is coming. There was no presence, nothing to work with. Nothing but the clear boredom. If anything, the case could be made that you are scum simply falling to easily to the 'hi daycop here XXX and YYY are guilty', believing it, and then lynching fakeclaimer the next day. Granted, that is what you did with the 'make it clear that if ABR flips town you die'.
I digress. It is another thing entirely to say
Curse: Iecerint
in a game that is clearly flavor-heavy and with the curser having dropped off-color 'Olde Foode God' things like a crazy druid.
Does that make sense? A lie that everyone believes is still a lie.
Besides, the notion of a 2-shot Suicidal DayCop is utterly laughable.
tl;dr
Pine only wasted our time. Iece's reaction was suspect. There are not enough people here. I am not supposed to be here.

1. It is only possible for scum to believe it if ABR is in fact scum.
2. There is no utility to setting up the lynch chain on Pine if ABR is in fact scum.
(Silly) Caveat: It is possible that scum could intentionally play so as to feign not recognizing these motivations. This is why it is a "probably" thing and not an absolute.

You seem bothered by Fourtrouble staying on the periphery of the discussion, but you don't seem bothered by Flames. Why is that?

My vote stays.

Forgive me, I do not know what you mean. I am unfamiliar with Beetlejuice.
He is a player who has denied us reasoning for his first scum vote (curious) and is basing his lack of activity and explanations on V/LA, which is understandable but does not provide any insight into his alignment. Thus, I await his return and the chance to more accurately discern his motivations.
In my experience, Perv is a strong town player and has good reads, but his thread presence leaves something to be desired as both alignments.
I believe this to be true.
@mollie: I admit I am not pleased with Flames, though I can see town motivation behind his posts. Granted, it is not clear. Does that make sense?

Interesting note. I had a connection drawn in my mind earlier regarding ABR, but I forget with whom it was drawn.
I don't get why you find this interesting. You have flames in a town pile for some reason unknown.
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.
I don't think 4 trouble is a hydra are you talking about the who people? and i don't know why he is ignoring the who people so lets ask him!
@ albert
why are you ignoring the who people?
@ andy
yes that makes sense. I have my own reasons for not liking flame that are independent of tth's. I find it interesting that flame is staying away from me considering what he said in our last game together. he was bugging tth too so I was all like, "go for it!".
@ iceyrent
I am not ignoring you, but this is tth's side of the case so i will let her address you.
↑FourTrouble wrote:Southern, I don't think 121 is independent of alignment - the genuine frustration isn't something scum feel when someone posts two townreads like I did.
Someone once told me that genuine emotion is not a towntell.
I didn't believe it at the time, but after a few games it started to make sense. Genuine emotions can come from either alignment, but they might not be for the most apparent reason. Frustration can result from many things, but the root of all of them is "things aren't going your way." Is farside frustrated at you not giving reasons or is it something else? I don't know and I think it's the wrong question to ask.
Using emotions to read people is tricky and involves too many unpredictable factors for my liking. I don't trust it.
tbf I think emotion can be faked depending on the player.

Also, a general read on flames would be good.
Flames is non-existant. I think lots of prod dodges.
I'll have to go back and really read him and a few others.

And you are not exactly being an open mic currently.
What are you going to do after I flip town? Use your second daycop?
This does not match what you said earlier about it being a fake claim.

Why did you ask this to iec only?

Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
Why is Icy a bad vote?
He's voting an IC. His reaction to pine was weird. I haven't seen anything incredibly town from him.
I suppose I could also vote ABR, but really, it's not a bad place to be voting AFAICT, and the ABR case doesn't seem inherently stronger.
~Abomination
This is pretty vague.
The IC claim was fake. How was his reaction weird?

I want to vote you.
vote: Andrius
This is the second post I caught you say something that does not make sense. You think Pine's wasted time but found Iec's reaction as suspect. How is it a waste of time if you get something from it? Why was Iec's reaction suspect?
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.
Sorry. I've been on vacation and thought I could be active but too much drinking/drugs - forgot about the game. I'm gonna get super active Jan 6 - until then please don't replace.

↑Nachomamma8 wrote:And would love to know why that's the best you could manage to come up with, actually.
I'm interested in talking about this because I thought the reaction was off myself.
There's a naiveté in Iec's posts in the wake of Pine's claim that I doubt he actually has. Pine's far and away the most trollish player here and he actually dropped some hints himself that the claim was fake (the hashtag in Post 299 for example). The lack of skepticism on Iec's part when he's otherwise proven to be fairly thoughtful stands out.
Also interested in why there's an Andrius wagon. I'll have to look into that.
I could remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead for a long time.

Read my posts again, I think? I'm pretty quick to express implicit and then explicit skepticism. I even apologized for having done so after the fact, because I find public skepticism in light of a claim like that to be anti-town, but I just couldn't help myself when Pine made inferences that made it too obvious to keep going along with it.
