So, my current project in this game is to obtain an understanding of the case against Cirno. Here's kingcod's summary of the case:
Let's break this down by point:kingcod wrote:Why has Cirno played like this?
- Chose an easy target as I have been mentioned previously
- Was determined to show drive and determination in getting his man following his first prophetic post a week ago
- But waited a week to see how warmly his rickety ISO would be received. Promised it Sunday and delivered it Tuesday ... after redtail chose to vote on me thus giving him a respectable ally (Redtail is town)
Cirno's objective is to whack another townie since I consider Cirno scum for the above 3 points. More scummy than Adaham, who may or may not be part of the team.
1. Yes, she certainly did choose an easy target. No argument here. In fact, kingcod was arguably the easiest target available at the start of day 2. There existed a ready base of people willing to vote for him (myself included obviously) that other targets didn't really have. The other candidate for an easy target would probably be Exemption, but that line might've had a whole mess of problems. Also, many elements of the kingcod case had already been expressed D1. So if Cirno is scum, then she certainly picked a nice, relatively easy target, one that had already been attacked by respectable other players (Equinox, Adaham, etc.). All that being said though, I don't think it makes the case against kingcod any less logical or potent. I'm still highly suspicious of kingcod, and I don't feel that Cirno has been particularly unfair in his attacks.
2. This is simply a playstyle matter. Cirno seems to be the type to hone in on somebody and attack them tirelessly if she thinks they are scum. In short, I think she demonstrated something that already clearly existed. I don't think she misrepresented herself.
3. Point 3 is interesting, but I think it ultimately falls. It seems to be based on the idea that Cirno was unwilling to attack kingcod unless she was assured of support, and my vote provided that potential backup to make her look respectable. The problem with this is that Cirno came out of the gate swinging against kingcod. Witness:
She also voted kingcod in her very next post, before I voted. In short, she had already committed to the kingcod pursuit.Cirno wrote:I don't feel like writing too much right now, so here is where I stand. Kingcod is scum. He just is. I'm going to try to get him lynched, so expect a case against him within a day or two. Another good lynch is Exemption. At the moment, I am unlikely to vote for anyone but one of these two.
Me=Weird's case is harder to get a handle on; it mostly comprises comments made in 1/2 a dozen different posts (with practically no case in the voting post). Here's what I understand to be the gist of it (please correct any wrong assumptions or assertions that I'm making Me=Weird):
1. Cirno promised a case in her first post and failed to deliver for quite some time
2. Cirno will not approach the question of Exemption: Cop or Scum
3. Kingcod is playing better, leading Me=Weird to think kingcod is more likely to be town, making the vicious attack against kingcod suspicious.
I find all 3 of these points questionable at best, both in their statements of fact and whether or not they are scumtells. Point 1 is not really a scumtell in my book, and the scumminess of it I think was defeated in my response above. Point 2 is patently false (granted, it wasn't really false when Me=Weird first raised it, but it certainly was by the time he voted). Point 3 is subjective at best, but I'm not sure it really leads to a suspicion of Cirno anyway. Adaham and I both have votes on kingcod and have attacked him; where are your suspicions of us?
Whew. Sorry, that ended up being a bit longer than I intended.
