GiF barely jumped on for horrible reasons and TD never jumped on. Only Orc and I were on it from the other team.
Which left 8 of the 11 necessary votes for town. Town votes take a while to get.

For once in this game I wish Majiffy/PM ( sign your posts darn it ) would stop asking useless questions and answer mine.
TD's outbursts have a lot of flail. His would look a bit townie if he wasn't flailing so hard, but all I see if scum flail and scum rage.

So you received an emotional response, which looked scum, why?
And if you received an emotional response already, what good did you feel the vote would do,
only
in regards to pressure?
It looks scum because as town, merely lashing out at your wagon leaders is not really the best play. Town-TD; I feel like, would have looked to explain his reasoning instead of merely OMGUS voting.
More pressure, more emotional outbursts, easier read in the end. This isn't like cold stone, where I was wiling to lynch somebody within a few hours or less of the game starting; but more outbursts equals more to go off of.

@B&B: Mostly the frustration he had over my post that he called 'waffling'. It annoys me when players toss around buzzwords like that. After the interaction, and especially when I realized that Venmar's claim was wholly null and that Nick's vote was there for reasons that weren't as tangible as I had first thought, I started to believe in the claim a bit more. I still think TD is scum, and I'd like some more response from TD before I consider backing down. I agree a lot of the votes on the wagon are inarticulate and/or opportunistic, but my focus can't waver now.

IOW though it was the main bandwagon for nearly all of day 1, it was not a fast wagon. Several players with every intention of voting me held off for quite a long while so the town bloc could be solidified, null reads clarified, and lots of opportunities for associations to happen.

The reason only part of this got posted is because I realized that if I took the time to preview my post, then I would have to add more to it, and then preview and then add more, etc.
Oh, I also forgot to
VOTE: FTL
Multiple wagons helps find out who is scum later on, and I feel both TD and FTL need pressure. And FTL is slightly scummier than TD.

Heavily tempted to vote venmar here....
You didn't vote him, but you made this little half-step push thing, which is worse in my book.
bingo. it looks alot like you were flirting with the idea but waiting for someone else to take the initiative, TD.
Except that's not what happened.
VOTE: Mac
Wait what? I'm confused. What is the reason for this vote?
second post of your and so far I hate everything about both of them

I don't like that when I play straight-forward town, everyone's like "VARSOON SO SCUM" because I did it in like one other game somewhere.
It's not a -reaction test- "defense" when I outright GOT VENMAR TO REPLY IN A GENUINE WAY THAT LET ME READ HIM BETTER. I'm milking the interaction between him and TD for info, something other players aren't. Please note that Notscience and NachoPappa haven't engaged too much on either side and half of the player list hasn't even fucking posted a decent contribution.
IF I THINK OF SOMETHING TO WRITE AFTER MY POST, I WILL WRITE IT. THREADS WILL BE SPAMMED AT A SPEED FASTER THAN LIGHT.
As far as the reason why I thought that nickthename was voting him without saying so--I thought it was a soft counter-claim until Nick explained his vote, which made me less assured of my own. Also, I got the reaction I wanted out of Venmar, which was essentially the same waffle-accusation bullshit I'm getting from you. Engage my posts, rather than writing them off, please.
@Trust:
Don't you think it's ironic that you see me as scum, but have a vote on the same guy as me?
If anyone wants to discuss things, I'm here to do so.
@Notscience: Now that you're confirmed town, you need to play the game. I was in Open 512 with Pasche, who was Innocent Child and he gave up playing after his IC reveal. Now you don't have to convince us that you're town, so please actually contribute to the thread and catch scum. What's the worst that can happen, they waste an NK on you?

Heads up, all. I've gotta go pick up a package, settle some debts, and cook dinner. An old friend of mine and I are playing FF7 together, so I'll probably return to that instead of this thread for the night. If you have any questions for me, please bold them or save them for when I'm actually online. Just wanted to give people a heads-up, because at the current game pace, it could easily look like I ditched out or am lurking or whatnot and I might miss questions directed at me when I am catching up.
@TrustFund: Venmar's 40, Muffin's 43, Nick's 102, B&B's 105 (later cited as a test, but dunno what it garnered yet, I think), TrustSasha's 171. Mac's vote makes a bit of sense if you count engagement with Venmar interaction and not liking TD's play (a bit abstract here), and Ghostlin's is explained.
@Nick: I feel like I've got scum. It's largely gut, but based on interaction with TD, his interaction with others, and how he's not in-thread once his wagon blew up, well--I think I've got scum and I don't want to give up on it unless I'm sure otherwise.
@B&B: I... am this dumb?

I think you need to do some careful re-reading, because this is wrong on a number of levels.

Yes, I expected TD to be rational and calm. See AJ's day two last game, etc. Admittedly, I'll need to go grab some towngames of his to get a baseline, before actually calling for L-1/hammer/etc.

I guess so, been alt-tabbing and watching anime between posts.
You said you got what you wanted--what did you get?
Also, why did you ask the rhetorical of me and bold my one post?

To say the least, that puts me a bit behind this game. Let's try not to get another 10 pages while I'm catching up, 'kay? Now with that said, it'll be a while--I have other things to attend to. So, that'll be it for now. Time for me to get to work. (Oh, gods. We're in for a very long game. No way to have me procrastinate

So you place votes to garner emotional responses, and yet you expect rational, calm responses from those very same votes?
This is sounding an awful lot like a Salem Witch Trial. I suppose you'll crush someone with a boulder next and if they don't die, they're a witch?

The vote count of the wagon at it's peak. Which I already said, earlier, had you been reading.
I don't know what rhetorical you're asking of?

That's a great idea. I'll bug syr for a gif when he gets back online.
P-edit: No shit this is cabd.

@B&B: Makes sense. We've got an early wagon we can analyse now. That's what I assumed, but I didn't remember you posting that straight out, but, rather, it felt like a later conclusion.
When you ask if I can't possibly be that stupid.
I also have no clue who your 319 is directed to.
