No, but I reserve the right to pressure anyone I damned well please in order to get accurate reads.Percy wrote:@hohum: Do you think xRx is the only person "looking for someone to lash out at"?
I've noted the fact that you would sooner play to maintain your status than to catch scum.Vi wrote:

I would be voting hohum right now, but I think my interview with the prestigious winner of the Most Contrived Random Vote award is still worth keeping on schedule.-

Wrong. It's a piece of information which may or may not be useful to the town and it isn't up to you to decide that for us.Percy wrote:Regarding post restrictions: I'm not convinced it's a post restriction. I think people who are jumping on Vi anddemandingthat sheexplain herselfseem to be both (1) opportunistic and (2) paranoid.
I don't remember demanding an answer from Vi. I remember asking a simple question and your reaction to that is far more telling than her non-answer. Strawman much?
It's my vote. The vote belongs to me, not you. I'll use it in accordance with my ownership of it. If you have a problem with that, then too bad.percy wrote:I don't like hohum's play so far. Sound and fury, signifying nothing, excused with belligerent "I'll pressure who I want!". I find it scummy. If he has played like this before as town, I'd appreciate a link.-

You're purposefully taking things out of context now. What I said here was a response to you complaining about the question. The only reason that this conversation is taking place is because of you, not Vi.Percy wrote:@hohum:
Well, that's certainly how I read this:hohum 117 wrote:I don't remember demanding an answer from Vi.

Unvote, Vote Percy
Setup-related information can be useful to the town especially in the context of post restrictions. The fact that Vi is posting like she's posting alters my read on her, thus the question.Percy wrote:Even if this isn't true, but especially if it is, I prefer to keep the focus on reads, reasons and opinions than trying to prise information out of the setup. An early focus on setup in theme games is at the best anti-town, imo.
Rambling on about how we should be focused on reads instead of game mechanics is just fucking stupid, because any information is always helpful to the town (remember, informed minority vs uninformed majority).-

But it is your fault, so how is that ridiculous? It's one thing to clarify your position but it's a whole different thing to go on an offensive based on shit that you yourself are throwing on the fan.
This thread needs more percy lynching.-

I can get behind an xRec lynch, if for nothing more than the sheer volume of shitposting.
I'd rather wait for Percy to respond to my last post before I change my vote though, mostly because I have a major problem with anyone that stands over a fire with a can of gasoline in one hand and a cell phone ready to dial 911 in the other.-

Ort:
Before I even begin to get into your last post please comment on this post.
Are you going to make an effort to be more active in this game now? You've dropped other games so that should give you a bit more time to focus on this one.
If you're not going to rectify your lurking problem and you're going to continue to randomly appear in thread to do nothing but snipe at people then I'm not going to take you seriously at all.-

I've outlined plenty of reasons for my vote already here,here,here,here,and right here just above your last postortolan wrote:what's with the ultimatums from people who are nowhere close to being lynched?
hohum I would like to know the totality of reasons for your vote on Percy at this point in time.
Also percy likes to bitch about selective reading but he isn't calling you out for it for some reason, only me.
You're not even paying attention to the thread because if you were you would have noticed this instead of merely fixating on the post below it. You've done this to me twice now.
Is this enough of a tl;dr for you? Are you going to start reading the thread now?-

But no. I very strongly believe that, yes. And people tend to listen better when you abandon reason, and just say in absolute terms what you think.
I don't listen very well at all when people abandon reason. It makes me want stick rusty objects in their eyes, so you need to explain why you think we're wrong instead of trying to appease me.-

Vote Vi
Because I've reread the topic and the flavor seems to fit with him being scum. Here's why:
I'm not convinced that his "non post restriction" style of posting is not a post restriction. Ralph Steadman is a cartoonist who worked closely with Hunter S. Thompson. Gonzo basically made Steadman famous. It's not a stretch to think that the "Gonzo" in this theme means bad guys and not good guys considering Hunter's relationship with Steadman.
If you want something a bit more concrete to back the vote up: something really didn't sit well with me early on with one of his early posts which stated something along the lines of me "going in the same direction" as him.
Looking back at yesterday he seems to be trying to pick multiple people off of the Jahudo wagon. "I'd rather have a hohum lynch today" and the constant need to try and refocus people's attention.-

You're going to eat these words if I'm proven correct. Go look at his posts. The vast majority of them are those ridiculous "RUN THESE HEADLINE RARRR" themed posts.Debonair Danny DiPietro wrote:
I already said I don't trust Vi, but that doesn't mean that the first half of your argument wasn't the single dumbest thing that anyone has posted in this game.hohum wrote:I like how DDD only quoted half my post. Good job, duck!
He doesn't post like that in any other game. Ever.
Players typically don't match their posts to the theme for such a sustained period of time like that. It's cute at first but gets old fast.
At minimum Vi lied about being under a post restriction. With 2 scum down "lynch all liars" isn't terribly harmful at this point and may net a third scum.-

he very much so lied about being under post restriction. I asked him about it towards the beginning of D1 and he denied that he was -- clearly not true.
That doesn't mean I'm wrong, but if you feel that way lynch me for I have sinned. Also, you try posting coherently after breaking a toe with no access to pain meds or decent medical care of any kind.jack wrote: Townies typically don't lurk for an entire day phase and hammer at the end.-

What about them? Post restrictions can (and sometimes are) written in such a way as to try not to be obvious.Sotty7 wrote:But there are plenty of posts were Vi isn't using any kind of "scoop" type deal. What about those?
If vi goes for the rest of the day without making a single one of those posts then maybe I'll be convinced that I'm barking up the wrong tree here.-

EBWOP: I know what you're going to say next too, that my lurking is "harmful" to the town; however we're up 2 scum lynches to one lost townie in a game which started with 12 players. That puts us in a pretty damned good position.
If I thought we were in any real danger because of my actions then I would have replaced out at the start of day 2.-

I'm not convinced xReck is scum anymore. The final scum has to be either vi or ekiM.
The reasoning he uses to conclude "I'm not scum, scum would do this or scum would do that" is pure WIFOM.
If we're lynching claimed VTs to out scum then why not lynch you as well?ekiM wrote:It's likely that we're in a 9-3 game. If so we have 3 lynches before LYLO. hohum and xRx have to be two of them and they've claimed vanilla. Let's lynch them. If they somehow flip town hopefully a power role will have found the last scum by then, otherwise we have tricky decisions. It'd be better if we don't lynch me because then we'll have one more lynch to play with, but I'm not sure whether you guys can be convinced of that.
Unvote, Vote ekiM-
