To start off, since I replaced in,
Unvote
It seems when wolf flaked, there were a few questions that needed answered. Seeing as I am not him, I cannot answer for him, but if a certain question can apply to me as well, let me know.

Why so scared of Lynch-2 right now? At this stage of the game a scum quicklynch would be utterly transparent, suicidally so from a scum point of view.
Good point. Worried at L-2, CB? Interesting...

Got it.
canadianbovine wrote:ChannelDelibird wrote:canadianbovine wrote:thats good enough for me.
your logic isnt making sense to me, then. Its suicidal for the scum to lynch during this stage, because its transparent, as in you can't see whose scum by quicklynch
So by your logic, my removing my vote proves my townness?
Uh, no. Your logic on removing your vote was to make sure nohand wasn't on Lynch-2. I presume that was because you feared two scum piling on for a quicklynch.
Maybe you misunderstand the word transparent - see-through. i.e., if scum piled on for the quicklynch at this stage (it's just random votes - no reasonable case on nohand whatsoever), they'd be making their anti-town-ness clear. Ergo, why, at this stage of the game, should we be scared of Lynch-2?
I don't necessarily think your unvote indicates town or scum...I was hoping to see deeper behind it by asking you about your reasons for it.
I don't know what i was thinking.. i took the opposite definition of transparency i guess. or i screwed up with my pseudo logic on how transparency would protect a scum.
This is my first game back in a while and i used to play newbie games a lot, where they'd be prone to doing something like quicklynching during RVS.
Now that i see it...The Vote Count was even more screwed, DRK had two votes.
Vote: Nohandtyper
he wasnt even at L-2
So you stand corrected, but revote a vote from RVS? Interesting move.
FOS: CB
Looks like in the very next post, ChannelDelBird agrees with me.

By 'this stage of the game' I meant the random voting stage, which was certainly true here and would be true in newbie games as well. I make the same point when I play as an IC - Lynch-2 is rarely that dangerous. (it's only really an issue in Large games, and not always then.)
What I do find interesting is your re-vote. As it was a random one, why did you feel it was important to put it back on after establishing that he wasn't at Lynch-2 after all?
because he still hasn't responded to how he can type without hands. I've put up a solid case on how hard it is to type with other body parts.
Basically i un unvoted. If i had noticed early the mod made a mistake I wouldn't of unvoted.
Terrible response for the revote.

Oh well,
Vote Conspicuous_other
for diverting an interesting subject.
And how exactly did he do that?

I wasn't so sure about voting him before, but his banter on sparking discussion sounds too much like every other person's nervous banter when they're playing scum and caught in their words (I've been VERY guilty of that myself). You wanted it, now let the game begin.
Agreed.

What exactly do you mean by this?
ChannelDelibird wrote:unvote, vote: lobstermania
Why so reluctant to use your vote? You happily placed a random one, now something that you actually find suspicious turns up and you'd rather just unvote and wait to use it?
I can generally see both points of view. I am in the boat the town's best utility is the vote, and I personally don't like throwing it around based on one "nervous" scum tell, but on an accumulation of things. At the same time, I understand the concept of pressure.
ChannelDelibird wrote:Wickedestjr wrote:If he was scum wouldn't he find pleasure in adding pressure to innocent townies to get them lynched.
If he thought that this was an issue that might snowball and get CBtown lynched without his vote, then he might well prefer to stay off the wagon so he could say "I told you so" later. Or, as I say, they could be scumbuddies (but I'm loath to look at this possibility too closely just yet as neither of their alignments are known).
Agreed.

What?
xRECKONERx wrote:@CoCo:
Umm... so you actually think it's a problem that Conspicuous_other was "diverting" the discussion away from a joke vote debate?
My feelings exactly.
CoCo wrote:DeathRowKitty wrote:L-2 is more of less the standard of putting pressure on someone...
It would be nice to be able to put someone at L-1 for pressure, but you then run the risk of someone who hasn't kept up with the posts accidentally hammering. L-2 is close enough to show that the town collectively wants an explanation without running the risk of L-1.
That's understandable, but as far as I'm concerned CB's explanations don't leave me feeling as though more reasoning is needed from him. I'm worried about people putting blinders on. It makes it very easy for scum to gain wiggle room and develop false and misleading evidence.
Agreed. I think there is some hardcore tunneling going on. At this point in the read of the game, I think CB has answered sufficiently. Granted, I don't LIKE his response because of the contradictions he's made, but it's sufficient.
nohandtyper wrote:Ok, I just re-read the entire game, and I've come to the conclusion that we're basically grasping at VERY VERY thin straws here.
The only thing that I noticed while re-reading was that CDB is the only person jumping on accusing people, and again, the accusations are for very weak mistakes. I'm going to put this out there now:
FoS CDB
.
You're appearing as desperate o find someone to lynch.
You say he's desparate, but even admit that we're grasping at straws? Contradiction? However, you explain it much more thoroughly in 207, and it makes sense.

I know I'm voting wolfram, but that's an incredibly scummy post.
FoS: Reckoner
Agreed.
ChannelDelibird wrote:Wickedestjr wrote:I think that if reckoner thought it would be better for the town to withhold his information, then he should.
By that reasoning, scum can choose not to give evidence and just say 'they have their reasons' and avoid having to explain themselves to the town. Scum explaining their logic to the town is how the town catches scum, so scum don't explain if they don't have to. Town shouldn't need to hide away from that.
Agreed...again.
I definitely don’t like how Wicked gave a reasoning/answered for Reckoner.

You can't create a scummy post and not expect people to call you out on it. Your justification that it was actually a fake vote to catch scum is bogus. Why is your vote still on wolf if you've blown the cover on your 20/20 expose?
Good points.
nohandtyper wrote:xRECKONERx wrote:I don't really know what I need to respond to after that re-read. All the constant quoting and whatnot confused me more than helped. If someone could lay out what they want me to respond to, I will.
I still feel like MME was just waiting for a chance to direct attention away from wolf, and jumped on the chance. Even if people felt like my post was scummy, they didn't immediately jump to voting me. He did.
Sorry, just got back in. I only had minute to talk before, but I finally got around to reading everything closely. It seems that DRK has taken over the xReckonerx argument, but I'm just puzzled by this quote. Before this, there were about 3 posts directed solely toward you, mine being one of them. How hard is it to see your name and respond to that post? Especially when you say "after that re-read." It should have been fresh in your mind.
To quote myself:

on you. Please try again to explain yourself. If you dont want to, I'd be happy to upgrade that FoS.
I think I'll upgrade.
vote: xRECKONERx
Respond to post #247 and I might downgrade it. But you'd better respond quickly. That vote puts you two away from lynch.
"Ooooh, the bandwagon got going. My turn to hop aboard."
Believe Reckoner’s claim. The indepth flavor rings truth moreso than lying bad guy.
I got through page14 and am spent. I will address the rest of thread tomorrow or friday. Thank you for your patience: this was one of my harder replacement reads. Many posts have multiple topics, quotes, and lines of thought, and there are a lot more indepth gamerelated posts than most games.
