Hi Penguin. I'm sorry, but I think you're going to be disappointed. Your response to me made me more suspicious yet. First just a bit of background. Here is where you were:
In post 287, penguin_alien wrote:tn5421--unlikely to be scum with Katengecchi, and more to the point I want to see where he goes from here. I feel right now like he's a Wrong Place/Wrong Time townie. Jury's out, meh.
So yeah, feeling stubborn about Katengecchi, would lynch mlearn2 as well, wouldn't defend Voidwalker1234. Those count as scum reads?
Then this, where you announce your V/LA and ask for Crash to read you.
In post 401, penguin_alien wrote:CTD, you said you weren't sure about my play here (which, yes, I've been inactive lately; surprise!IRL things running amok) but now we're right off a game with town-me, and you know how I think as scum as well as anyone after 164. If you can narrow down your read on me, that would be super.
Mod, V/LA for me for 48 hours please. Thanks!
Yes, this means I almost certainly won't be moving my vote...
Which is followed a few hours later later by this:
In post 407, penguin_alien wrote:Leaning town based on your play, but I didn't like your predecessor so you don't get a giant town endorsement.
Your point about town tells is a good one though, and I have to admit that unless scum went way underpowered here, they'd claim a PR on the way down. And possibly even more likely then.
VOTE: tn5421
L-1
And then, as soon as morning dawned:
All right, with that in place let's look at your posts since then:
In post 473, penguin_alien wrote: In post 468, talah wrote:You're too intelligent to not realise that what will happen with a vote like this, is another day of pointless arguing over whether Katen's scum with or without TN. This is an entirely safe scum-vote peng.
Hey, look at that, someone defending Katengecchi. Who said I want to spend the day arguing? I'm also just fine with lynching Katengecchi. And why would we argue over whether Katengecchi's scum *with* tn541?
First, ignoring the part where you may well have misunderstood Talah's point about arguing whether it was more or less likely that Katen was scum in light of tn flipping town, there is your seeming comfort with quick lynching Katen. But this is right after last night, when you seemed won over by the Crash argument that Katen was not scum. Plus, the quickness with which you point out "someone defending Katengecchi" just rings as absolutely false. Talah kept her vote on Katen last night when it counted, and fought pretty hard to get that lynch. Your words look like a pretty obvious attempt at distraction.
And your response to me looks bad too. There's the mea culpa about being a very significant part of why we didn't get a lynch yesterday, and yes, the numbers are the numbers. But then there's this:
In post 477, penguin_alien wrote:Add on that the case was from CTD, who declined to respond to my challenge to read me, and yeah, things changed.
When you posted this answer to me Crash had spent all the rest of Day One's twilight arguing his case to get tn lynched. Why would he have taken time away from that to read you? I wouldn't have if you'd asked me. There was something much more important going on. And Crash hadn't yet posted today.
That is not a valid reason for things to have changed.
