I was actually pointing out that if your ability to defend your lurksackiness is based off saying you're better than another player who isn't saying or doing much - it's not a defense.

So it's 3rd wagon - who was the last person to vote for it and when?
That's why it's useless.
I shouldn't need to explain to you what rain looks like - you've been around the block a few times. Stop acting shocked that you're wet.

That might even be alignment indicative yeah?
@Fonz so your not voting garmr and i am not voting Flubber why not?
Where is your best shot at convincing me to vote Flubber?
and my best shot at convincing you is up a few posts. (the @Flubber thing...)
Although I could update the Garmr scummy contradiction when voting Anen, thus.
Garmr did not really push Boonskiies. Go back and read his ISO near/prior to 418.
Was Garmr even seriously trying to get read?
When Garmr was voting Anen did he try and progress the read get better evidence, or explain it clearly in the thread?
It was not Anen that stopped Garmr pushing Boon, it was that Garmr never really did try. Then there was claim.
Then Garmr wanted a new target and someone to blame for his old push being a do nothing fluff piece.
Thus came the vote on Anen.
I mean seriously Garmr asked a question, got an answer from Boon about the RVS. Accepted the answer!
Then a bit later said nah and voted Boon for it anyway? What kind of pressure was that?
and how could Garmr seriously think someone else would chainsaw such a fluffy do nothing push.
Vote Garmr it will make you feel god when he flips scum.
Consider the deadline suspended until replacements are found.
Hephaestus has been prodded. Cho and Aeronaut are still being replaced. Izariael has one or two more days given that he told me he was going to be V/LA until last Friday.
expecting a different kind of answer.
If you really have no confidence that GM is scum, then kindly pick someone who is actually scummy instead of useless.
Staying on a no confidence and no reason wagon leads me to believe your "power role" is non-town. That impression can still be fixed.
about it as I was about Pere I would not be calling it dead.
Style. I like people to agree with my wagons for reasons, I probably could try to develop a meta of just aggressively berating people into agreeing, but
(1) I don't want to practice being that kind of person. (I am what I eat and do.)
(2) needing reasons in your town meta makes playing scum when you do from time to time really hard and fun at the same time.
(note 3421 was TBMK fairly standard mafia "hardball", but it does not sit well on me. (or i don't want it to) and hey, then the 2nd guy I suspected replaced out . == bad Axl? )
(but Thor thinks 3421 is pussy cat? odd. out of place. )
I am not aggressive in the same way as you.
But I know
anyone who is not a mini Thor is bad.
@Thor
What if the GM wagon just wont go/fly.
Who would be your second best lynch? (Well get to why if there is any common ground.)

Probably the same as he did D1 and mislynch someone else he felt was a threat to him.
It's not going to be me.
Do you honestly think a conditional read based on a to-be-determined setup fact was a real threat to Thor? That seems ridiculous to me. Especially given your protestations about how hard it is to get anyone to vote Thor.
@Axle: Noted, will respond when I have time for a full post. A problem I have with that wagon is that have you as PE#2, though. Not sure enough you're scum that it isn't worth a go mind.

Axle == parsing error.
PE#2 is Process of Elimination 2 or what? or Piece of Excrement number 2 or ... ?

Pere is fairly familiar with Thor, probably the most so of the players in this game. That means his existence was a potential threat. The longer he was left alive, the likelier he'd be to come up with a correct read, one that would be listened to. Thor happened to come up with a trumped-up semantic case on Pere and not only forced his lynch through but also did so in a way that would make Pere look a fool.
Is that necessarily the only possible way of things? No. Is it still interesting? Very.

Are you saying your gm vote was a reaction test? Or was it genuine?
Do you have reasons in the thread?
(Someone was scum reading him earlier i forget who?)
or we need to fly with my reasons?
My reasons would be thin as I spent some time this game town reading dave.
perhaps if i went back and reread his whole game with my recent understanding of his technical/mafia capabilities,
3936 is valid as far as it goes. 3937 is a concise to the point summary.
(these set a benchmark for the (literary and mafia)skills Dave ought be able to use if he is trying)
yet
3896 is padded at the end with pointless trivial pedantic questions ,that he then demands answers too 3910 and then does nothing with the obvious answers in 3914
then he runs away into mind numbing propositional calculus 3920 for no functional purpose blah blah....
and then at the end of it...all tries to accuse me of the mess he made (3942(but distancing self) 3944). (seemingly deliberately)
That doesn't look good to me, but it would look whole lot worse if garmr flips scum.
How bad it would look if Garmr flips scum has me wondering where the game is at.
For that maatter how is dave so sure garmr is town. 3957 That seems like very black and white view of how scum will definitely play.
Are there so many linkages to a scum!garmr flip that scum is going all in? 3957 or ....
Hmmm.
Also those technical/mafia capabilities (above) seem in my mind quite at odds with he kind of player that gets confused by mere technicalities

That Fonz wagon is assuredly going nowhere with you hemming and hawing like that.
Also, people should, theoretically, have forced my claim about two days ago.
Axle I'm not voting garmr because I want to wait for a better catch up and because a vote for Thor is a vote for lollipops and rainbows and if you don't like lollipops and rainbows you're a communist.

Yo, dimwit!
Ever think I might be reading
YOU
with all of this?
I was trying to figure out if I needed to go all-out on getting
YOU
lynched for making a case with such horrible logic.
The reason I don't give your case weight is the way you are making it and the way you are pursuing it.
So much confirmation bias, so much unwillingness to accept that someone might make a mistake and not be scummy.
The Garmr slot might be scum, but not for the reason you are pushing. I am not town reading that slot. I might even be scum reading that slot.
But I'm not going to vote for it based on

A claimed unspecified power role is pushing and voting a wagon, but admitting the only reason he's doing it is because the player is "useless".
Consider reasons someone looking at this might want to know if the read is genuine or not.
Prove to the PR I'm willing to vote my town read, but ask for some kind of confidence factor.
Consider not really wanting to vote for one's town read, solely on the word of a PR.
Is the PR confident that this is the right move? Apparently not.
Is the PR willing to preserve my town read and go for someone we both feel is a better lynch? Apparently not.
Mafia roles are also power roles. I guess our PR isn't town.
