Turbovolver, you indicated mikeburnfire as suspicious for only defending himself. As you put it,
The fact that LoudmouthLee explains in such detail why such common behaviour is worthy of a vote makes me suspicious. As does MikeBurnFire trying and failing to explain such an insignificant event.
It was the insignificance of the event that made the 'trying and failing' noteworthy... but who determined that the event was significant? No one but you.
Of course you are entitled to your own suspicions. I have no problem with your characterization of LoudmouthLee as suspicious for harping on a point you felt insignificant. But
once it has been harped on
, especially by multiple people, what is mikeburnfire to do but address their apparent concerns?
So I fail to see where I dodged your complaints by playing word games. At any rate, now that you've said you no longer find mikburnfire especially suspicious, the whole discussion becomes moot. I never found you suspicious enough to warrant nomination (did you not notice that?) you've retracted the assertion I found questionable... if we're going to be playing word games, I suggest Boggle.
As for where you said, and I quote:
It sounded like you are saying we should get the people nominating one person with lots of nominations to nominate the other people with lots of nominations.
No, no, that's the exact opposite of what I'm saying. I want the people with lots of nominations to be nominated by as
wide
a scatter as possible, so as to prevent the killers among us from dictating to the town a small group of choices all of them harmful. And VitaminR, on those lines, the minimum requirement for getting on the lynch block in the first place is two, but only the three people with the most total nominations go. Any others with more than the minimum but fewer than the top three (strictly fewer, because ties go to the block jointly) have simply dodged a bullet, so to speak.
Pooky, I think I see what you're saying about people's self-preservation nominations muddying the waters, and it's a concern, but as long as we remain wise to it when studying the patterns, it oughtn't do us too much harm. I agree that such 'get off my back' nominations are suspect behavior; if you're on our side, have faith in your own ability to convince us that the other two people are better choices.
Petroleumjelly, far be it from me to refuse a lady. Let's go see what we can find.
I think it's pretty clear that TSS's awesomeness did alter the roles each of us recieved, and thus he's obviously pro-town. -- Save The Dragons
