icemuffin wrote:@max Why on earth is your vote on me? Your talking about scum lurking and all of a sudden a vote on me without explination? I really dont want to change my oponion about you cause I hate to be wrong.
actually, i have been voting you for the last day and i explained my reasonings for my vote, so it's not a random lurk vote. maybe you and others don't see my reasonings as valid, but i did make my reasonings and so, no it's not some random vote. i voted killa seven after that because he was being silly in the game, which wasn't helping us very much... but that was the reason for my not being on your vote for a bit.
also, just because you defend me, doesn't mean it changes my opinion. don't try to sucker me into that.

can i please say this... one last time?
why don't i drop the fact i played the newbie card? first off, many people keep bringing it back up. i'm TRYING to let it go, but someone always brings it up. then when i say, let it go that i played the newbie card, someone says that i'm playing an appeal to emotion. where does it end? it doesn't. so please stop mentioning it.
i don't care if you look at the rest of my post and say that's why i'm mafia. that's playing the game. but please, stop reprimending me for saying i played a newb card. whoever said something along the sames lines as this, thank you. i can't seem to find the exact post at the moment.
ok, seriously, no more of that.
now, i find something interesting of strangercoug. i haven't really seen it until now: he does the same thing icemuffin has been doing, really. he posts a lot of repeated information or little to no information.

you seem to be saying that a lot- stop being lazy, start using your own deductions.
yet...

I find myself agreeing with Now a JDodge's logic in post #41, and he has a pretty big case on maxwellhouse. There were tons and tons of information out there—out of necessity, even—and maxwellhouse has nothing to say about diddly squat!? Way to lurk.

ting =), if numbers are not of concern to you, then go ahead and keep posting them. You may have to explain them to us so it's easier for us to understand, though. (You seem to be quite the mathematician Wink)
same post as above- you are telling me to out more information. yet you bring out nothing from yourself. why? your "case" on me is just whatever NAJD said. then you tell me to build my own case. then you comment about ting's number crunching. and you HoS'ed killa. this was a basically useless post- no votes, no new information, nothing.
all right, i've done that too... but again. next post, post 54

As maxwellhouse said, I never voted for killa seven. I HoS'd him the post immediately before maxwellhouse voted him.

okay, this is getting annoying. i am not pleaing to your emotions. i just spent a whole large post explaining myself and everyone cannot seem to let go that i messed up by being a newb. please, just let that go. please show me in the last post in which i said ONE time "don't vote me-- i'm new!!!" yeah i did mention being a newbie, but my first sentence was a sarcastic comment.
Please be very careful with the newbie card, because we're not likely to forget your newbie mistakes anytime in the near future. Yes, we may take them into account when considering what side you're on, but to give a real life example, nobody in their right mind goes to a bank, yells "This is a stickup!", and then says "Whoops—I didn't know bank robbery was illegal" when they see the cops.
you bring up i used the newbie card (already brought up by many people before me) and something i've already said. now, i get having emphasis for the second since you are defending yourself, but did you really have to have that short of a post? for one small defense and telling me not to play the newbie card?
and then again.. another shorter post. post 68, this one quoting a bunch of quotes. i just put the content he actually typed up himself.
strangercoug wrote:
Muerrto, I simply felt that maxwellhouse was scummier than killa seven at that point, and I did not want to go for what I felt turned into a policy lynch bandwagon. We now know that killa seven is town, and I still suspect maxwellhouse for his trying to play the newbie card. In fact, Vote: maxwellhouse in case a lynch resets everybody's votes.
Not a JDodge, I failed to understand why Green Cow did not actually vote for killa seven at that post (remember—the bandwagon on killa seven did not yet exist, so I'm not contradicting myself here) if his concern was for wasted. FoS merely says "I suspect you, but don't feel that your actions warrant a vote just yet". That was the only person on his list of suspicion as we knew it at that time. Is the FoS not wasted space too?
first paragraph, no complaints really. you are explaining yourself and why you voted, even including a vote.
second, you are explaining yourself on your vote for green cow... yet your reasoning is faulty. if a FoS is wasted space, isn't a HoS? therefore, isn't your own post HoS wasted space also? so why did you scold someone for a FoS but it was perfectly fine for your HoS? you did nothing else in your post for your HoS except agree and repeat information. maybe you were a little bit more flowery with your repeated information, but it was still repeated.
NOTE, so far, these ARE his posts. i didn't exclude information.
okay, now his second to his latest post, post 76.

okay, i don't know what you mean here. are you attacking ting=) or NAJD? i think you're attacking NAJD. all right. that sentence was absolutely vague and repetitive. ting=) already pointed this out, why did you have to point it out again, except in a much less question-like form? what was the point of this, or to make people take notice of it and keep discussing it and put suspicion on NAJD?
strangercoug wrote:If you define "new reasons" as reasons nobody has brought up yet, then no, but just because you're done with playing the newbie card does not necessarily mean you're done defending it.
fair enough, though i'm not defending the newbie card though. i just want it to not be brought up again over and over as a reason/a scold. and people telling me over and over again to stop playing the newbie card when i'm not, yeah it's annoying.

Unvote: maxwellhouse
Vote: strife220
i have to agree with him here. strife's reasons were yucky, but he did explain his own thoughts as to why he is not voting for others (strife- don't not vote anyone because you think they're a newb though).
on to latest post. it was shorter again. kind of vague. i'm breaking it up into parts again. not the first part, but the last two parts.

strangercoug's post # 29
strangercoug wrote:
I also believe Not a JDodge's case on you in post #26.
all right. so he called me "obvious scum." you read his post apparently, since you said that you believed his case. you did not jump on him for using me as obvious scum. you jumped on me and voted me instead. i mean, it was a good time. everyone was starting to point fingers at me.
now, when muerrto calls strife "obvious town" and strife is voting against you, then that is something you jump on hard. so it is obvious that you don't take "obvious scum" as hard as "obvious town."
i feel as if icemuffin and strangercoug are in an alliance. icemuffin defended not voting for strangercoug on reason of not FoS on first page. granted, in icemuffin's latest post, he disagrees with his partner's idea.
icemuffin wrote:I don't agree with two of my partners core ideas - that is, that long posts are automatically indicative of protown alignment, and that FoS'ing in the early game is indicative of anti-town alignment.
but i still think what your partner said revealed something- his defense for strangercoug. do you defend strangercoug as well? i am also kinda wondering why your posts never crossed paths except for in defense/support of a vote.
i'm suspicious right now of both strangercoug and icemuffin. since i focused mostly on strangercoug in my post, i'm going to go ahead and change my vote.
unvote: icemuffin
vote: strangercoug
no, not bandwagoning. i still find icemuffin suspicious. i just find them both suspicious. since my case is mostly on strangercoug, i'm putting my vote on strangercoug.
there has been a lot of information posted after i started writing this, and i will include it in my next post because this one has taken me hours. (my post originally was supposed to be after strangercoug's, so i apologize if my post doesn't include a lot of the information that was in between.)
