SI as he brings a poor case on me and then tries to refute it in an I manner that.. would be incredibly hard for anyone to believe.

Point is - you seem not really t care if he is SI or VI, you only repeatedly state he was an I of any kind and had to be lynched, regardless.
What's the point of this post? I'm voting for who I think is scum because I believe his actions have been bad in this game. What actions have occurred in this game that have been worse thus far?I don't know about you, but I have seen townies do far worse mistakes.
Other Questions For You
-Why do you seem to be tunneling on my case anyway, you claim its a weak case, andy only has 1 vote on him thus far (no i'm not trying to downplay my vote), but you are acting like he is going to get lynched asap.
-It's starting to feel like you are saying "oh em gee silver has such a weakz case on my buddy. Imma go save my buddy so he don't go and dig a deeper hole for himself and i'll try to make silver appear scummy! Super leet plan go!"

You strongly suggest that "I" automatically implies it's rater SI than VI. But in fact all you point out is the "I" part, your conclusion that andrew must be scum because of him being an "I" which is just plain misleading. My impression is that you try to launch a mislynch on a cheap target instead of looking out for real scum. You do not even dif deeper after Andrew gives you an obviusly senseless answer to determine where it comes from. You just proceed to pick on his self-procalimed VI status - weak point found - and immideately suggest he'd be scum for being a VI/SI.silver wrote:

Again false as I have stated that you were not happy with my explanation and I would have GLADLY (as said BEFORE) been more clear had you asked. Nowhere did I decline to convey the information that I was asked for by making it blurry beyond recognition. All I have done is noted how your posts have been contradictory (which you now agree to as you don't deny it) and refuted the stated points that you believed were correct.Speaking of twisting words - you do.

Let's reread my quotes that you quoted.You strongly suggest that "I" automatically implies it's rater SI than VI. But in fact all you point out is the "I" part, your conclusion that andrew must be scum because of him being an "I" which is just plain misleading. My impression is that you try to launch a mislynch on a cheap target instead of looking out for real scum. You do not even dif deeper after Andrew gives you an obviusly senseless answer to determine where it comes from. You just proceed to pick on his self-procalimed VI status - weak point found - and immideately suggest he'd be scum for being a VI/SI.
Here's where I place my vote, Specifically stating that Andy's an I. Nowhere am I suggesting that his being an I means he's scum. I am voting him because his answers thus far had been I and I wasn't sure which. Here's the Second post that you even quoted.silverbullet wrote:... but VI or SI... you earn this for now...
VOTE: Andy the I
This was posted AFTER Andy posted his summation of I and his (andy's) actions which I have said before I find to be bs and that he's just trying to hide and feign vi now.Silverbullet wrote:Andy bumps to the top, I think he's an si just feigning vi now... or just a troll.
either way death to the heathen.
So please point out where I'm supposedly picking on his self-proclaimed VIness.
Great job at posting a seemingly meaningful post... while Completely ignoring some questions that were directed at you in same post.Like this game was the only one were some (supposed) townie (to make this clear: I do not even call Andrew supposed townie, I find him pretty suspicious) ever did something bloodcurdingly stupid.
Just some examples I have seen myself:
- fakeclaiming cop as VT with a guilty on another VT
- vigging neutral/town reads
- trolling all game
I know that townies (newb townies to) do horrible things. That's not what I asked you.. Here's my quote to refresh your memory

Actually its about me pointing out the numerous contradictions and twisting of words that you are trying to make on me about my case on Andrew.Because you did not convincingly point out how all this is about Adrew so far. It is about you.
Way to be over dramatic, no but I do find it interesting that you are trying to be the white knight for Andrew and are trying to convince me to essentially not vote him, especially now since you admit that you are suspicious of him yourself... yet have not asked him one word.And this is supposed to do what? Discourage me questioning you? Right now you're digging a hole for yourself.Last edited by Excedrin on Tue Sep 28, 2010 7:33 am, edited 1 time in total.... People were right it seems....-

Alright, time to start my analysis:
Firstly,
bhavitgoyal is town. Every game I have played, the first person to intentionally typo "confirm" in any way has been town. This is on the list of DP town tells. (hint: none of my tells have any serious merit/reasoning behind them, but they work more often than not!)
Second, Hi raymond! I live in Perth too
Since I answered that question with my timezone (GMT+8), as for the others, I have some experience here as stated in my first post, and lots on another gaming site, which is more for fun and less serious, but still mafia. Also, a week ago, for the first time, I played mafia with friends at a party. It was great fun, although we were a smallish group (and they all kinda sucked at it, I won like 9/10 games, the only one I lost I was killed during Night 1 as a VT so didn't get to do anything...).
I generally prefer scum, although some games it's really fun to be town depending on the group of people and my level of involvement. but some games I kinda fizzle when I'm on town because of characters and boredom and game not moving.
/End of rqs.
Then things happen quickly! Random bandwagon on silver goes to L-1 (lolwot), enigma then votehops about 4 times in one page (lolwot), Wow, i just re-read page 2. This is absolutely hilarious. 4 different votes from enigma. 2 votes from dickov when he just blatantly states he is OMGUS'ing. Honestly, i think this was a hilarious way to get discussion started and the game moving. I wish i was around for it!
Anyways, from now on I'm going to ignore dickov as that is my slot. But just found his early actions too funny to not comment on. If anyone has any concerns they'd like me to address regarding his play and why I think he did it (seeing as I know his alignment) feel free to ask.
Then, we have the raymond vs bhavit OMGUS saga. Not quite as entertaining but still worth noting. A scum will be found between these two.
Then we have wall after wall after wall by Enigma. (I skimmed most of it, plz stop)
SD comes in and makes some town-like statements/defences to enigma regarding when he voted dickov etc. Enigma,s comment at the bottom of page 4 about rolefishing makes me get a town read from him at this point.
Koreanboy lurks then magically shows up after his name is mentioned. This seems dodgy to me.
Raymond #126: "hey don't vote me its a bad idea".. Oh dear. this defense was atrocious
More lurking by Korea.... "sick"...
Anyways, what I'm getting as is actually something I don't normally go after in newbie games, but it's struck out to me a lot more here. Lynch the lurkers! A bad policy to live by, but we've had some scummy lurkers, imo: koreanwonderboy and silverbullet. Lollero just flaked so that is a no-tell. Silverbullet has been active in every game I've been in with him, so this is unusual, and well korea just made some bad excuses and was online but not posting.
Also, in case you guys hadn't noticed, andrew94 is the epitome of a VI. You will struggle to find a better example. WIth that said, because of this the one or two games I've seen him be scum, I couldn't even tell he was scum. However, going by statistics, andrew is hardly ever scum!
So back to lurking..
koreawonderboy slot: Rockerboo replaces, he comes in says after 9 pages of reading he has no scum suspects (lolwut), there has been so much scummy stuff happen use your own judgment and make a gut read.. It seems to me only a scumbag wouldn't be able to say they find someone scummy. THen says he will WATCH other people scum hunt. ADMITTING THAT YOU WILL LURK!!?!?!?!?!
@SD:
I know i'm a jerk, but trust me, he is a VISD wrote:I find most of andrew's reasoning rather horrible so far. And he is not a newb.
Then.. WHat happens... ROCKERBOO DOES LURK! after admitting that he will lurk and watch others scum hunt.. He continues where korea left off.. Lurking and not doing anything. Usually I don't find lurking scummy, but this is definitely one of those times it is...
Vote: Rockerboo"To die will be an awfully big adventure"-

I'm very good at making politician promises. Sorry!
Heh I've just realized why I've lost grunt for this game. If you've played with me before you'll realize I get emotionally involved in games and start calling everyone stupid for not agreeing with my points and get all fired up and overly aggressive, but I tried to hold back this game as it's a newbie game. Mehhh.
That and the walls of text and illogical charade of arguments scare me .... yeah scare you read right.
Anyways ... starting from my silver ISO.
Just open up that page and read down the page, referring to post numbers.
I'm just finding it frustrating when trying to comment on the illogical wall posts of back and forth arguments between everyone. You don't need wall posts to convey your thoughts across, one or two short distinct paragraphs is all that is necessary in most cases. And I've said it before, it's getting out of control and will only hurt town in later days because all it does is confuse the fuck out of everyone. People seem to associate walls of text as townies trying hard, but in fact you are all quite mistaken.
A few things I want to point out. I find it very interesting that people trying to bring up alternative suspects for being scummy are being devoted null/minimal attention, case in point: my ISO of silver, bhavit's ISO on raymond. People seem to want to continue the petty arguments between each other which gives me the distinct feeling that the andrew/silver and dickov/shadow pairs are quite possibly town vs scum interactions. I have left of scum/scum because I just can't imagine either parties being capable of an elaborate bussing plot. I actually feel that it is very likely there is at least one scum out of the 4 there, and maybe both scum are in the grouping.
Page 15 and final conclusions to come. Tired....
PREVIEW EDIT: Too bad DP it's already here. Enjoy!-

@silver:
OK, you are serious?
You seriously insinuate to me that I did not ask you for further details?
Obviously I did.
And is noted, nontheless, that you tried to get away with an incredibly wishy-washy answer.
Now you are from nitpicking and twisting words to traight out lying.
Which is exactly my point. Now you suddenly admit that you want to lynch Andysilver wrote:Here's where I place my vote, Specifically stating that Andy's an I. Nowhere am I suggesting that his being an I means he's scum.notbecause he is scum (and feigning VI, as you lately claimed) but only because he is an "I", although that tells you jack-shit about his alignment.
What about presenting a coherent version once.
So he was a real VI/SI. Until this point, where he suddenly's feigning it?silver wrote:This was posted AFTER Andy posted his summation of I and his (andy's) actions which I have said before I find to be bs and that he's just trying to hide and feign vi now.

This is all about your bad if not totally intransparent motives in your case against Andrew and about yout growing contradictions.
This is definitely not about Andrew. I'd lynch him any time. I pointed out that his lame attemot to call out name for his questions to the mod was a lame attempt at newb framing or maybe feigning scum hunting.
That does not change the fact that your case against him is intransparent except for the contradictory part... And so far you declined to lays it down in a coherent manner, although I asked you to do it in every single post so far. Instead you proceed with these WOTs, trying to undermine my questions.
DP seems to really wanna play this game. So I can do this now:
unvote. vote Silver. FoS DP
Time to go forrealinformation.
Still, this is interesting:

It's good someone read my wall!
Was worried you didn't read it after you asked me to post my opinions on everyone.
I actually put alot of effort into it (suffered a loss of brain cells reading andrew vs silver and shadow vs dickov) but I think alot of my observations are sincere and not biased like alot of other reads.
Please do actually read these past few wall posts guys, It gives a good neutral view of the situation and I quite honestly do think we need to get away from the walls of illogical arguments. Really. Please do stop.
Anyways 1 more wall to come, hopefully in the next few days covering the last few pages. Deadline is in 1 week, so decision time soon!
Also something needs to be done about Rockerboo. I really want a better read on him before the deadline comes up.
Mod: Please prod rockerboo again or whenever you feel it is reasonable based on when you last prodded him.-

So much about subtly insinuating one is town.Enigma wrote:It gives a good neutral view of the situation
Neutral is what you aren't, any way.
But I think I'll try and summarize both my points against Dickov and against Silver in the near future, so no one actually has to read all of it.
I also feel like meta reading both DP and Andrew right now would be a good idea...
Yuck I hate meta reading-

Also games of andrew plz... that is important.
-Enigma
Worried? Where's worried come from?I find him incredibly defensive and worried that he is attracting negative attention in his response to my ISO in 286.
I really would like you to quote me where i say POLICY LYNCH THE VI. I believe him to be SI feigning VI (this might change if his meta is truly this idiotic.). Please quote where I say policy lynch him, as memory says I never did.What I don't like is that you aren't willing to commit to a policy lynch on scummy lurkers as you discussed early in the thread but you are backing up your current lynch based mainly on a policy lynch.
Also you haven't responded at all to my questions of your iso of me.. :/
-Shadow
Please quote where you asked for further details. Your response right away after me answering your first question was. "YOU ARE AVOIDING MY QUESTION!".You seriously insinuate to me that I did not ask you for further details?
Obviously I did.
Vote = PressureWhich is exactly my point. Now you suddenly admit that you want to lynch Andy not because he is scum (and feigning VI, as you lately claimed) but only because he is an "I", although that tells you jack-shit about his alignment.
What about presenting a coherent version once.
His summary was bullshit to me unless his meta proves otherwise and he really IS that much of an idiot. This is where I say Death to the heathen (which you could then say I'm asking for the lynch if you really want)So he was a real VI/SI. Until this point, where he suddenly's feigning it?
I am just using your words. And it does not make nay sense to me.
Yeah I have no idea what you are insinuating here.I talked about VIs (not neccessarily newbies in my examples) in general and you insist on an example in this game?! What makes this game so special that you want to rule out the possibility of a newbie / whoever doing something stupid in this of all games? It is a newbie game, for damn sake.

And so far you declined to lays it down in a coherent manner, although I asked you to do it in every single post so far. Instead you proceed with these WOTs, trying to undermine my questions.
Policy lynch policy is if it fits and is needed do it. If person is lieing and seems scummy as well policy lynch works. If person is lieing yet I feel a possibility that they may be a pr or something of that sort (i wouldn't state that) I wouldn't follow policy.What is your policy lynch policy (nice word )
- What is your case against Andrew? Please give us a short timeline of it from your PoV.
Andrew attacks me idiotically and says some really stupid shit. Me questioning him is scummy to him and him answering is scummy for himself? His posts seemed highly VI but he keeps throwing around this makes you scummy that makes you scummy that he earned my vote. Then he gives his summary of what happened, and I believe that him saying he attacks me from what i say to raymond is complete and utter bullshit and a simple yet effective way to truly claim the VI title. Thus I believe he is feigning VI and is really an SI as I found it INCREDIBLY HARD to believe someone could be THAT stupid to not take in that initial post correctly.

Umm the post above was in reference to Shadow dissing my "neutral" opinions.
I will address your posts in a mega wall post sometime.
Politician promise: Sometime SoonTM
Also I mean it, reading the wall of text arguments between you four is very painful and quite discouraging.
I would even venture to say that's what scared off alot of people, myself and the newbies included because we honestly find it hard to comment on.-
