As interesting as all this is, is any of this leading anywhere, or is Stef just a moron?
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

"I'm voting for Player X because he's not doing action Y while doing action Y!" ...Yeah, that's pretty bad logic.raider wrote:Bad reasoning?
Following purposeful bad reasoning is better than the slew of page one random voting? Are you serious?raider wrote:At this point I think it is better reasoning then anything else.
So it was a random vote? You did the copy and paste as an excuse to throw a vote somewhere without any thought about it? On page two? I mean, I know there isn't an abundance to go on with page two, but when page two randomness is just absolutely necessary at least people make their random votes pretty obvious (e.g. more numbers in their name) than masking it as following non-random reasoning - as you were apparently doing.Porkens wrote:I wasn't following any reasoning at all GC
Yeah, and I FOSed him because he only FOSed using shaky logic. You used a vote for it. Appropriately varied responses to different actions.Porkens wrote:I was just putting a silly vote on someone with a copy-past of the post DIRECTLY above me.
So are you trying to make your connection to raider blatantly obvious?Charter wrote:Can we really have caught us a scum this early?
Abundantly so. What happened to killing off random voting at the end of page one, or page two at the latest?Moratorium wrote:Random stage over.

Re-reviewed the thread.
Any chance of Vamparific showing up?
What I find weird is not so much that he threw a complaint out there (because I see it more as a prod of "hey let's not fall into a slump so what can we do?"), but that even after the premature FOS/voting for failing to contribute even when he was attempting to stir up activity he did exactly what they said he was doing. Self fulfilling prophecy, much? Anyways, two posts later he then makes a post that is unequivocally an active contribution - but only after he was called out a second time (and this time legitimately) for making flippant posts. Such activity (not being a hypocrite only when called out on it)Sudo wrote:That said, it's still weird to just throw a complaint out there, and I intend to lean on him until he says something more meaningful than "Don't be haters".

quite suspicious.Any chance of Vamparific showing up?
Are you being purposefully dismissive so that my contributions are ignored?raider wrote:GC, ff you had a point to your last post I missed it.
Wow, stef's randomness really derailed the thread.
I find salempc's return to content-less comments after making 1 useful one when challenged, suspicious. Obviously we don't need to push for a lynch anytime soon, but I find him a solid first target for pressure.
GC - you've provided good content, but don't appear to be making any arguments towards one action or another. That's fine right now, but raider was correct to note that you appeared to be commenting without any specific aim in mind.
charter - why is greencrayon such an obvious vote?

Unvote, Vote: Charter.
Attempting to shift suspicion of of himself onto another easy candidate. Also, says he's voting "for the sake of getting a ball rolling" and then adds "he followed some bad reasoning". It certainly wasn't bad reasoning, and others pointed out the exact same reason that Porkens switched his vote, but GC leaves them out. I also feel 'the ball was rolling' without the need for more random votes.Green Crayons wrote:Then, for the sake of getting a ball rolling.charter wrote:Would also be happy if a wagon formed on Porkens. I would gladly join.Unvote, Vote: Porkens. Oh, and because he followed some bad reasoning.
Basically, he's switched his vote all over the place trying to deflect suspicion away from himself. Every vote he makes comes with worse reasoning than the one before it. Zero scumhunting, just voting others. Has scum written all over it.

That's because I'm happy with my vote for where it is at the moment. In my post I made points against Porkens that I find to me more vote-worthy than what my original vote was based on, and they were lending credence as to why I'm not changing my vote.qwints wrote:you've provided good content, but don't appear to be making any arguments towards one action or another.
I guess I just wasn't making the purpose behind my points clear enough (though the points themselves seem to be readily apparent - contrary to raider's post). So, for clairifcation's sake, here it is:quints wrote:That's fine right now, but raider was correct to note that you appeared to be commenting without any specific aim in mind.
My responses to raider's two quotes was defending my vote and questioning the validity of his dismissal of my vote.
My responses to Porken's two quotes was building upon my reasoning for voting him and keeping my vote there.
My response to charter's quote was using the exact same strategy - putting an opinion in the form of a question so that it's an implied accusation without backing it up - he used in the quote so he could see what it's like when used against him.
My response to Moratorium's quote was my opinion on when random voting should have ended (and thus this random voting silliness spilling over into page two/three/onwards is a waste of time).
And for good measure:
My response to Sudo's quote was because I intended to flush out my opinion re: salem's usefulness/uselessness being a switch he flicks on and off when it suits him.
My reference to Vamparific was because I think that's the only player who hasn't said anything yet and I would like to see everyone playing.
My reference to raider's quote was because I wanted to point out his complete dismissal of my valid points.
Okay, maybe those last three were a bit snarky to throw in there, but in all seriousness I don't see how my points were obfuscated in any way. To what end they were being made, perhaps, was maybe a bit muddled, but hopefully the above clarifies that.
Which it was.charter wrote:Also, says he's voting "for the sake of getting a ball rolling"
Are you suggesting a vote cannot be made for multiple reasons? Because that's ridiculous.charter wrote:and then adds "he followed some bad reasoning".
I have already clarified that the reasoning was flawed because it was premature.charter wrote:It certainly wasn't bad reasoning
Do you mean like qwints and Sudo, who I have addressed? Additionally, I have explained why my reaction to them was different. Please show me examples of these other people that I have left out, because as far as I can see they don't exist.charter wrote:and others pointed out the exact same reason that Porkens switched his vote, but GC leaves them out.
Wait. Are you saying my vote for Porkens was a random vote, even though I have already explained my original reasoning for voting him and have explained why I am keeping my vote there? Because my votecharter wrote:I also feel 'the ball was rolling' without the need for more random votes.
wasn't
random, as I made clear when I voted for him, and it continues to not be random, as my reason for keeping my vote on him has evolved. Way to go to completely mischaracterize my vote.Also, you're saying that "the ball was rolling" - basically, that there was plenty of contribution. But people were already pointing out that there was a distinctive
lack
of activity (or "ball rolling," if you will) right before this. Way to go to completely mischaracterize the environmental context of my vote.I've had three votes this game. Didn't realize that qualifies as "all over the place." ...Oh, wait. Because it doesn't. Talk about hyperbole.charter wrote:he's switched his vote all over the place
...What? My three votes were Vamparific (totally random), charter (OMGUS to get me off of completely random) and Porkens (originally for voting on really bad logic). This "suspicion" that was on me when I changed from Vamp to yourself was two "random" votes from raider and charter from at the beginning. This "suspicion" that was on me when I changed from charter to Porkens was... two "random" votes from raider and charter from at the beginning. This is this biggest load of crap I've read in a long while. Please, show me examples of all this suspicion I was allegedly attempting to throw off beyond the one-two vote at the very beginning from yourself and raider.charter wrote:trying to deflect suspicion away from himself
Oh goodness, I guess you're right. Wanting to go from completely random to OMGUS and from OMGUS to voting against bad, premature logic is a horrible progression. That's like... going from random voting to voting with a purpose! That's horrifying!charter wrote: Every vote he makes comes with worse reasoning than the one before it.
Your explanation is baseless (please come back with examples to substantiate your claims) and exaggerated. You're attempting to typecast my actions into a preformed notion of what people deem to be scum behavior and it falls flat on its face because it just doesn't fit the mold. Sounds worthy of a
FOS
to me.Uh, you aren't absolved of responsibility of your posts just because people can skip over them. Every post has an impact on the thread's conversation and a multitude of nonsensical posts is detrimental to the town's ability to catch scum. ...Which is the point of the game, by the way.
