Vote Haschel Cedricson.

He's so bad at this game, he could be an unlimited day-cop and we'd still lose.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Im bored.
Im vanilla.
Discuss.

I don't believe you.

Unvote, vote populartajo.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Not participating in the random voting stage is scummy in my book.

Why? Could you be specific as why you think that scum are more likely to skip the random voting phase?

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

By not participating in the random voting phase you are denying other players from getting any kind of read on you. Just because someone doesn't like that stage of the game, doesn't mean he should be allowed to get off not participating in it.

So, its sort of a lurking scumtell, you're saying? Do you find lurkers are more often scum?

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

In short: yes and yes.

Care to back that up? I bet you for every one lurking scum you can find, I can find two lurking town.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Yeah, I don't get that. Blakadder's strange unwillingness to vote plus this bumps him to second on my list.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

You misunderstand the question, I think. How would he be at all cleared?

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Semantics issue, maybe. Usually, "cleared" means "confirmed to be town," say from a cop investigation. Also, tajo flipping town, while obviously indicating that tajo-stef is not a scumpair, doesn't really make stef any more likely to be town.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

The question about ooba and armlx had as purpose to let us know your status on the two. This info does help me because it helps knowing who you think is innocent considering i don't think that trusting anyone is a good idea and that it doesn't really help the town.

Mmm. . . why does who tar thinks innocent help you?

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

CKD and armlx beat me to the thread, but yeah, what they said. That whole "partially cleared" thing put me off yesterday even before stef came up scum.

Vote blakadder.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

An unrelated point: Does stef being in the japanese mafia imply two mafias?

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

@TSPN: How did saying that Stef would be partially cleared make me scummy?

You really need to ask? You deflected attention from one player who came up scum (stef) to another player who came up town (tajo) at a time when they were the two competing wagons for lynch, and also said that if tajo came up town, that was indication of stef's townieness. Which was pretty terrible logic and pretty clear linkage to stef.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

There were two competing wagons, one on tajo, and one on stef. You linked stef's scumminess to tajo's, effectively saying that tajo's lynch would help determine stef's alignment. This would have (had it not been shouted down) deflected attention from stef's wagon to tajo's,

in addition

to making stef look better once tajo came up town. Your actions make

perfect sense

from stef's scumbuddy.

Oh, and its pretty evident that the logic was poor, seeing as how tajo came up town and stef came up scum.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Not really clear on how that's a response to the accusation of you deflecting from stef to tajo.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Note: That applies to your first post. Your second post, is, in fact, a response. Its not convincing, especially as claiming the stef wagon didn't have much steam is sort of odd when you're talking about the second-largest wagon.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Not really sure how much better I can explain this. It seems that you're trying to lead me into a hole by asking questions that I can't really answer.

(Damn simulposts): Actually, you asked

me

questions. I'm describing a scenarion in which your play as scum makes sense, moreso than any other player yesterday, which is why I'm voting for you.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Empking is being foolish. I'm not sure whether to chalk that up to scumminess or foolishness.

EA's dismissal of the BA case is more interesting. I'd like to hear more from him, and why in particular he thought going after cybele over a minor D1 question was worth pursuing.
