Hi Everyone,
I have presentation this week, final next, and conference the week after (ASCB) coming up so my time is going to be extremely limited.
I think I may actually replace out of this game since I may not be able to contribute much and I don't want to drag things down.
I read through the posts but still, notes are fairly a jumble, so my current position/take is:
In terms of Ythill/Llama and such, I understand and get the whole 'wall of text' and polarizing issue pretty well now..
I view Ythill as town (based on actions/defense/response) while I don't see Llama being that scummy. So I can imagine it being two town biting each other's heads off and I don't think Ythill or Llama are going to be lynched today (at least, based on what I see) just like SC isn't going to be lynched today either.
So, I vote to move on and go after one of the 'less town/more scum' looking players.
---------------------------------------------------
I'm not fully satisfied with Apoth's answer but I don't think jumping up and down on it alone is going to help. Instead, I will ask Apoth for his top 2 scum (1 may be SC still) and try to do a PBPA of Apoth.
It just strikes me as fairly strange what you said and did.
In your first few posts, you ask if we are out of the random voting stage on onto tangible evidence.
I made my first comment on Primate's picture posts and then you made the following post.

just to get discussion moving
Vote: Corvuus
I think your interpretation of what was going on is fairly suspect. and I also don't see how voting me to get discussion moving made sense to you.
I was already giving my reasons and taking a 'stand' and for your arguments about 'bandwagoning' a person for speaking in pictures, it seems funny that you may be attempting to bandwagon a person for offering the alternative viewpoint that primate is faking and Primate has to explain why he is posting in pictures. I also stated that I viewed it as anti-town and I was voting primate to get him to respond, not to lynch him, so I don't like how you interpret that differently.

I don't see why you say you choose me as a random vote. Your first few posts specifically asked if we were out of the random voting stage, and you voted me for discussion. So why is it a random vote? I was making a case on Primate's "PR" so it is already out of the random voting stage and such.

Apothecary wrote:I did find it kind of odd SC didn't try to defend himself from Primate's accusations. But I don't know if that's a sign of a passive scum or a passive townie.
I don't get this statement or your conclusion at all. You state that you found it odd, so you have been reading and seeing everything, correct?
you then state, "I don't know if it is a sign of (SC being) a passive scum or a passive town".
This statement doesn't make sense and is one of the things I was going after SC for. SC was not being passive but was being active in Fosing and going after people for 'slips' and such and "scumhunting". My point on SC was why was he active in regards to some, but then he completely ignored Primate's accusation against him without Primate supplying any evidence, etc.
So what do you mean by SC is being a passive town or a passive scum?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In your post 6 and 7, I think your reasoning is fairly interesting and I have my own interpretation of it.
Perhaps the reason why I became very hostile towards 'everyone' is because from my point of view, I was asking and voting something "reasonable" and not trying to lynch primate at all and then people seemed to be 'willfully' misinterpreting me in a completely different way. (although I did not present it very clearly and such)
I never said I wanted to lynch Primate, I said I wanted him to respond and that I didn't believe his PR and such. I gave the example of the end game scenario as to why we should discuss it "now" and not for why we should "lynch" him now. I never liked how everyone assumed I was trying to lynch him but since pretty much everyone assumed it/was against me, I don't claim any tells from it but I do think your comments in particular are fairly bad.
In your post #6, you state you can interpret Primate (which we started asking if anyone could and most had to admit that they couldn't, in particular SC made the same claim but he couldn't say why Primate thought he was scum) and you also present that I am either extremist townie or I am scum going after people who don't post.
At this time, there were you and others who don't "post alot" and I didn't go after them at all, so I think your suggestion here is fairly scummy. I went after Primate specifically because of the picture PR and I wanted him to post more to understand him better. So that is a gross misrepresentation by presenting it as an either case.
Your post #7 is also a fairly large misrepresentation and post #9 is just amusing to me. You never called me out and I don't see how you can claim that. Even when I was being "extremist" you didn't vote for me, oh wait, you did, with your "random" vote.
But you specifically state that you called me out, so that must mean your initial random vote was calling me out? even tho you state that it was random with no malicious intent behind it? That also doesn't make sense.
--------------------
In post #11, you state two interesting things.
First, that you see SC as being scum and then second is that you "still" think Cephrir is scum. I will leave the SC part alone but why do you state "still think" Cephrir is scum when you haven't posted anything on Cephrir at all? When did that occur? You later mention page #3 as for why you voted and how we were past the random voting stage already and that voting without explanation is bad... and yet... you voted for me in the exact same way and then claimed it was a random vote and your vote and explanation was done on page #7-8.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The posts that follow are mainly about SC's doc claim and now that I re-read them, it strikes me that you are insanely hypocritical.
You state in post #22
"I simply offered an alternate viewpoint. I don't see why this is arousing this much angst and suspicion. If we all jumped on someone when they offered an alternate view, we'd never get past day 1. I just passed a comment that may or may not have shown others that there isn't a rigid set of scumtells. I thought that was part of the game, to suggest things."
Yet you didn't treat me like this at all. I offered an alternate viewpoint (Primate was faking a PR) and many people did jump on me. Your response, answers and the fact that almost everything you said or did is hypocritical because you did the exact same thing strikes me as funny and also scummy.
You vote Cephrir for not explaining his vote after random voting is over, yet you do the same. You claim random voting when it clearly isn't. You make conclusions on 'passiveness' and such which also don't make sense as well. I still don't get the leap you make in going from "SC is scum" to SC is fake claiming and such.
Maybe I am crazy, but Apoth and SC just don't make much sense to me as players.
Voth Apoth
Corvuus
P.S. sorry for lack of editing and such, time is not infinite
