1) The lynch lurkers thing - Despite you thinking him newb, you actually took this seriously as though he was trying to get rid of all the lurkers. The obvious thing to do is explain to him why a LaLurkers policy is stupid; instead you attack him for it.
2) Whether or not Lucienne was "lurking" (she wasn't, FTR) - Again, this is plainly just Orig being stupid. Instead, you make it sound like he was conspiring to score a scum lynch.
3) Agreement - Again; he is confused but you make it sound like a buddying up conspiracy.
4) "im town so dont vote me" - Again; his actions plainly bespeak of his newbishness but you make it a conspiracy.
Don't get me wrong, Orig could well be scum. However, AlyG has twisted these four points into scum plots when it's pretty clear it is just stupidity. Hanlon's Razor: cock-up before conspiracy.
Actually, i said that orig
MAY
be either Newbish or Scum. And even if i did fully acknowledge that orig's action were indeed newbish i don't believe that it means there shouldn't be a case against him. Newbish or not if he's done suspicious things there's nothing wrong with putting a case against him.
1) I never posted saying that i thought of him as a newb. He seemed very scummy to me for the lynch all Lurkers attitude and it was his first post, i wasn't sure of him as a newb or not after a 1 one-line post! Which is why i took it seriously, i couldn't judge him at that time.
2) How do we know that he was plainly being stupid? His posts were very weird and suspicious. Which is why i thought it MAY either be a newb-tell or scum-tell.
3) Well it was weird how he completely contradicted himself to agree with CarrotCake. What was even weirder was that Carrot's post was only Right after his. So it seemed that he was agreeing with him to get on the town's good side.
4) I never acted like his post was a conspiracy and was scummy. All i said was that it was a stupid thing and not very useful thing to say. There's nothing wrong with that.
5) Not all points were attempts to accuse him as scum. At least you agree with me that he may well be scum. And also, he had done very weird things. Even if they were newbie acts they can't be
Completely
ignored.

Page 5: What is odd about asking questions about 3 users? you expect me to include questions on everyone? these users (Orig, Oman and BS) had all done something noteworthy the last few posts. I didn't mention anyone else because they hadn't done anything which striked me as weird at that recent time. How is that odd? And i didn't just "hop" on Vamp's Wagon, i held back from voting him and waited for a response to my questions which i didn't get. So i voted him to put more pressure on him so he would talk.
[quote="Vollkan]Prodding for opinions is something I consider a scumtell. By all means, say "X is not contributing" but specifically asking "What do you think of A, B and C?" looks like you are trying to get a particular response.
Not voting immediately doesn't justify it. Vamp had promised content; he was "at a friend's house".[/quote]
It's alright if he promises content then folows up to it. But promising content 3 times and then posting nothing 3 times is what everyone found very weird and suspicious! Here were his obvious acts of promising to make his opinions heard then throwing the promises out the window.

Page 6: About Vamp, he was tied with the most votes and he had pressure on him. There was a chance of him being lynched with no chance to explain himself which is why i said give him at least a week to explain himself. If he didn't then it meant that he was desperately trying to continue keeping out of conversation. So he would then he would be worthy of being lynched. And how can you say "I thought this was about lurking not suspicion." VampenezeHunter was suspicious because he was trying to keep out of conversation and was obviously lurking! which is why he had suspicion!
Vollkan wrote:See this is the thing. You vote to pressure Vamp to speak; I don't like how you did it, but whatever. Now it moves to you supporting his LYNCH. I mean, you go from wanting him to speak to wanting him dead. The ONLY thing which changed in the meantime was Orig's vote. You recognised the prospect of him swinging and you altered accordingly.
He did eventually speak, but i wasn't very impressed with his argument and i gave points against it. So even AFTER he talked i still supported his lynch. There's nothing wrong with that.

Page 7: He was my main suspect because of his continous lurking and how he wouldn't respond to my questions. How is there anything wrong with that?
Vollkan wrote:You specifically said you were voting for pressure. You didn't mention suspicion until a lynch was on the cards. Don't be obtuse.
I was voting to put pressure on him so he would stop his continuous lurking. When i put my vote on him i said that i hoped it would get him to talk. Which means my vote was to get him pressured and to stop lurking.

Page 9: I would have accepted Vamp's lynch if he didn't explain himself. If he didn't explain himself then it would be obvious he's esperately trying to keep out of the conversation, which i've already said.
Vollkan wrote:What was there for him to explain, other than that he had not been active (which you have constantly just assumed to be a scum strategy). You shifted from wanting him to respond to your prodding questions to actually suspecting him, without articulating WHY you suspected him.
I wanted him to explain why he never posted content afer promising it 3 times. That's what i wanted to know. And after it's done 3 times it's become more than a mistake.
