There is a one post a day minimum... not everyone has to spam the boards like you. Some of us have other things in our lives and would like to play this leisurely.
My bad for playing the game I guess? More posts is more information is, hopefully, more chance of winning.
I dont expect everyone to "spam the boards" but I, like everyone playing, should expect posts with content each game day. There's a 1-post minimum to not be modkilled - but unless you think 12 post days are super sweet I'm not sure what you're aiming for with that.
Ben wrote:Bandwagon… you really weren’t in a threat of a hammer…7 to lynch…seriously…Dej and Juls were the only serious votes against you as KoC’s was during the random phase…than Juls quickly switches(for wrong reasons)
Not being in immediate threat of a hammer doesn't alter the fact that was a shameless bandwagon vote.
Ben wrote:Lurking…an issue, so far off...rofl I stated I had midterms…also had work and other real life things. You claim to be a vet, so certainly you must understand about the real world?
Nope, as a vet any real world understanding is immediately stripped from my system, making me a cold, callous machine that is dedicated to this game in all its facets. I AM A ROBOT.
Rationale (the same rationale everyone can apply, fyi) for it doesn't change the fact you have been lurking.
Ben wrote:Skimming..geeze you just like to nitpick and highlight what is attractive for you. I said I read most (was I believe the first 3 pages...and skimmed the 4th so I could shed some light and everyone could see where my stance was since I hadn’t posted yet due to RL)
Saying you're skimming when page 4 is a large continuation of what is going on on the wagon you just voted for is going to throw a red flag.

Leaning scum candidates…me and Caboose, tho I think Caboose may in actuality be scum... seems rather convenient AGAIN to place 2 of the three voting for you as scum.
Considering my stance on Caboose started this whole mess and if you think you two are the only people I found scummy well.
Conclusion: you want to be hung… wow scumtell much? And if sympathy goes in your favor you demand to be confirmed, because you don’t want the same monotony tomorrow. Worse Vet statement ever? How many successful first day scum kills are there? Not many that’s right. So instead of a higher probability of killing an innocent today, and the scum killing one at night losing two innocents we could have one die each night. This way we stretch the days out and allow for possible cop investigations to be more effective… but actually your way sounds right lets kill kill kill and point out more people for the vig to kill…huzzah(sarcasm on that last part if you couldn’t tell…sometimes online sarcasm interpretation is difficult)
In what world does getting hung help the scum win condition?
In what world does having this whole issue act as a cloud to let scum hide under tomorrow help the town win condition?
The rest of this I honestly don't understand what you're getting at. Yes, often (but definitely not "not many") the first lynch is not scum. Then you are saying in contrast we...no lynch? Or what? Really you've trailed off here and I'm not sure of anything except you're saying the vig shouldn't kill?

SpyreX, you may be right that I used somewhat over-strong words to make my point (especially 'gushing'). Nevertheless, I maintain that aside from moderate exaggeration, which everyone may feel free to edit out, the point I was trying to make stands (that there was context for Caboose's statements not present by Lowell's statements).
And we'll disagree about this for all eternity on multiple levels - as I see "context" for both but that doesn't alter one bit the parallel I see between them (and that is bad because Caboose said it was bad and then did the action he said was bad).
Plum wrote:Not necessarily. In this case unless we're all comfortable letting SpyreX live until Lylo despite his claim, we'll need to lynch him. Despite some twitches from my gut on the choice, I do disagree with him on multiple points and feel that some things he argues are false. I must go to class now, but I will say that SpyreX's call to be lynched is plausibly pro-town.
I just want this block quoted by itself because this is one of those statements that oozes "creating wiggle room" after my lynch. I could spell out all the little ticks, but nah.

Spyrex has been an absolute hyprocrit. He states early on that he dislikes lurkers and will push for modkills and lynches against such players. When two players make the same mistake (Caboose and Lowell) he then attacks the one who qualifies and answers more. This is strange is it not? He then reiterates his attack on Lurkers (including myself) but forgets his earlier promise. This for me is the biggest problem I have with Spyrex.
... what?
The post you HAVE to be talking about wrote:In this setup, lurkers will be modkilled. Modkilling, regardless of alignment, will reduce your ability to win.
Lurking, therefore, should UNANIMOUSLY be condemned in this setup.
Of course, the mod is nice enough to eliminate the true lurkers - I am more worried about the lurkers that post that once or twice a day to avoid the above.
I am, right now and pre-emptively, calling all of those people scum.
Come day 2
sans confirmed scum I want the contentless players eliminated.
No where would I push for a modkill. In fact, I say modkills are bad for everyone playing - but its the people posting the one or two posts of nothing that need to be dealt with.
Further, I explicitly say that hunting lurkers day 1 isn't an option - hence Day 2. There has to be a pattern of lurking and day 1 can't just be a storm of nonsense to not appear to be lurking.
And if you think I'm going after Caboose because Caboose and Lowell made the same "mistake"
I dont know what to tell you. If what I wrote boils down to that I apologize because that means I really, REALLY screwed up my explanation.
And there still hasn't been a hammer yet. KoC hasn't unvoted. I'm not sure what you're going on about there.
KoC wrote:
I've seen a lot of pro-town players ask to be lynched, but more often than not they come over as rushed, angry, and they don't give a wall of text to explain why they should be lynched. That's why I'm not going to unvote SpyreX. I would have found it more believable if he had just gone "OMG WTF U All Suck I'mma self vote so you lose fuckers".
I get my angry out for the most part BEFORE I post. Believe me there's been some swearing at this game.
However, I don't think that helps me win. So, I try to keep it down a notch. Expect after I die and caboose flips scum a beautiful picture of millions of middle fingers though with robot techno-metal saying "I told you so." over and over until the end of time.
