Where is the evidence that if one of me of Gorrad flips town, the other is obv scum? Where is the evidence that if one is scum, the other is obv town? This looks like he's setting up one mislynch today with the other to follow the next day. However, I'm still willing to allow him the chance to backtrack and try to manufacture evidence, or of course point out where I missed it. Whichever...
There are a few things I would rather not talk about. The evidence behind the Gorrad/Korlash dichotomy is one of them, though it's plain to see with one's eyes open while looking at D2. I will say that Phily, our cop and confirmed innocent, thought that either Gorrad or Korlash was scummy. My reasoning does not stem from this fact, but this just shows that a confirmed innocent was also of the mind that at least one of these two were scumbags. So, technically, the town doesn't just have to trust me - the town can trust Phily and I.
Korlash wrote:I'll put this as short as I can. I like flavor and I like claims. seeing as how I called Chandolier as mafia on day 1 and seeing as how I was right about Sera I think I have good reason to do what I do to claims. I didn't hammer him at first so he could full claim, after whoever unvoted me voting him was kinda pointless. I didn't vote him in the end because Mastin had made it look like he was claiming Tracker and half confirming Sera's story. Now if you can explain to me how putting a guy who's claim I am currently questioning at L-1 would make it more likely to get answers from him before a lynch you can continue arguing my not vote as somthing. If someone had put sera at L-1 again I probably would have voted him. but as long as I was continueing my question, I felt keeping him at L-2 would give me the most time to continue my questioning.
And this makes no sense. You were fine with hammering him, but not fine with putting him L-1 because it was pointless? If you find someone scummy,
you vote them
. It isn't a pointless exercise. And if you're wanting more time to continually question someone, then I can understand keeping them at L-2. But saying you wanted more time by keeping him at L-2 while at the same time proclaiming you would hammer him if someone else put their vote back on is totally contradictory. Your reasoning is nonsensical.
Korlash wrote:You just helped prove my post. Thank you. Even you can only find one post linking me and sera as partners, so let's think for a moment. Why do you think I would ask why people were linking me to him... Oh right, because no one ever gave any reasoning or posts as to it! Philly just up and said it out of the blue! yeah asking him why is so scummy on my part. /sarcasm
Phily just threw out the notion that maybe you
or
Gorrad might be connected to Seraphim to Albert, and wanted to know what Albert made of it. The fact that you jumped into the conversation attempting to denounce a line of argument that had yet to be made looks like blatant pre-mature distancing.
Korlash wrote:In retrospect obviously Sera, but at the time I only meant misdirect from anyone currently under pressure. sera and Zee are probably the only two that were, so I suppose I meant misdirect from one of them.
Phily wanted to focus on you or Gorrad. Phily was our cop, so you most definitely can't be saying he was trying to misdirect contemporary pressure for any anti-town reason. The only other person who I saw suggesting the Gorrad/Korlash dichotomy was myself - and I had made it abundantly clear that lynching Seraphim was a priority. So maybe you can explain more what ill-begotten pressure "misdirection" you were attempting to dissuade.
Korlash wrote:... How so? And how does it make me scum? Just throwing out useless stuff now huh?
No, your statement looks like you're scum trying to look town. Hence, manufactured. I don't find that opinion to be useless.
Korlash wrote:My knowledge of past theme games makes me scum now?
No. You should have no idea if scum are given safe claims or not. Your words and actions come across as if you know for a fact there are safe claims involved. Nobody would know for a fact except scum and OGML.
Now,
Gorrad-related stuff
:
Gorrad wrote:1. Frankly, I don't see how the logic there is the same at all. For one thing, Seraphim has an obvious strong bias. Secondly, I, unlike Seraphim, posted reasons why ZEE was more likely. You can't say we have the same logic when Seraphim doesn't post logic. And yes, I still feel the same way about ZEE. In fact, Xtoxm's claim's satisfied me enough for now, Unvote, Vote: ZEEnon.
Here's the logic: "Seraphim is pretty scummy! However, ZEE is
even more
scummy! Therefore, let's vote ZEE and not Seraphim." It acknowledges that Seraphim is scummy but you want to bypass him for a "more scummy" candidate. I use quotation marks because I find that opinion to be incredibly suspect. But, you both used it. That's how. Bias doesn't come into play in determining the fact that the two of you used the exact same logic.
What were your posted reasons as to why ZEE was more likely? I didn't catch anything substantial on my read through yesterday.
Do you really think two scumbags made the exact same mistake?
Gorrad wrote:2. I found ZEE's original transgression worse than Seraphim's. I found him scummier. However, the kills paradox, aka the reason I was voting Seraphim, slipped my mind in 463, hence why I thought I was voting ZEEnon. When I realized that I wasn't, I looked through my post history and remembered why my vote was where it was.
So you don't think the timing of this "slip of the mind" wasn't terribly convenient/bad timing (from whatever perspective you want to look at it)?
Gorrad wrote:3. 384 is a response to 383
Alright, that's what I thought. But I can't understand why you're making it in response to 383. I think we're interpreting Phily's statement different, so please explain to me what it meant to you.
I see the difference in your issue with the claim itself and the mechanics of the claim in 4. I think 5 hinges upon you just so happening to forget the incredibly legitimate reasons to vote Seraphim when his wagon was starting to tremble and waver.
And finally,
non-Korlash/Gorrad-related stuff
:
Korlash wrote:what about [Xtox's] play, the play he pretty much does as both scum and town from my experience with him, makes you think him town? How can you make the statement "He is town" over what you see as just a town playstyle from him?
I think his play resembles his town play more so than his scum play. Xtox can be an incredibly infuriating player to game with because he's more about voicing his gut and emotions than his logic and deduction, but I think he's a little less of a pain in the ass when he's scum because he cares more about getting lynched. My gut just says town. I've seen him call out scum and then get rush lynched because the scum manipulate the town into thinking Xtox's play isn't helpful to the town - I wouldn't be surprised if that's what is happening here. I also think his claim is legit because I caught him searching for *something* when Seraphim claimed. I assumed it was because Xtox had a passive ability (which I indicated at some point in D2) and so was seeing if Seraphim had one as well. Apparently (and I'm assuming here), Xtox was actually looking to see if Seraphim had a latent ability. That means Xtox didn't just pull this claim out of his butt.

You're dumb. Hey, look, now we're both name calling.
