I read the thread for any criticism of me that I hadn't already replied to...
Alternatively, I was calling out what was a bs wagon. Evenpwayne66 in Post 288 wrote:2) Destructor might well be 1/2 of a scumpal group. His inexplicable "Elmo has provided content" and other defenses of Elmo reeks of scum trying to "go on record as defending a doomed townie at the gallows".FOS- Destructoryousaid you didn't and don't find Elmo scummy, so what's the real issue here?

VOTE: DESTRUCTOR
i'm in a voting mood right now
Any lynch is totally not as good as any other. Lynching someone's who's being terribly anti-town, obviously scummy or stupidly unhelpful is far better than lynching some random person a mindless wagon has formed on.Skruffs in Post 301 wrote:I'd be willing to vote destructor, too.
Why?
Well I wouldn't expect you guys to believe me but I intentionally stirred crap up day one, to get the game started. WE have no knowledge day one, so any lynch is as good as any other. It was only after day 2 started that we have ANY information (there are no cops, remember), and that information is derived from what happened day one.
No, I honestly have a reason not to lynch someone I don't believe is scum.Skruffs, cont. wrote:The only people who honestly have any reason NOT to lynch other people day one, are the two scum, and they want to avoid lynching each other.
When viewing this person in the context of the other players around them in the game, absolutely yes. Do you seriously think it's pro-town to let a player be lynched when other are more suspicious?Skruffs, cont. wrote:Hoenmstly, think about it:
If you are a townie, do you really carae who else gets lynched, day 1? Do you have any reason to defend anyone, regardless of how they are acting?
It's not da troof at all. I don't understand why you'd feel this way at all. You're suggesting that the Day 1 lynch is inevitably doomed to be a mislynch. I'd rather we tried to lynch scum at any point in the game.Skruffs, cont. wrote:Which is why the people defending dryan are more likely scum.
I know it sounds backwards. But it's da troof.
You never elaborated on this. Why did you feel I was shady? What lack of communication were you talking about?avinashv in Post 309 wrote:Destructor seems a little shady right now; however, I don't really know what to make of the lack of communication on his part...
I wonder if he was actually serious about this. The main point here was that you'd not provided any content to allow us to read you. So, I figured, you're either useless town or scum. I'm not willing to entertain the idea that you're useless town, because lurkers suck and deserve to be lynched anyway. If you really want, I could do a pbpa. lolFlameaxe in 345 wrote:I say that when you make a claim, its often a good thing to back it up.
The scrutiny he was under? At the time I started pressuring Flameaxe and JDodge the only player who was even remotely on their back was avinashv. Evenpwayne66 in 377 wrote:... I think destructor is a better lynch, though I admire and approve of the attempt to get certain players to play the game, destructor's push for an FA lynch is too opportunistic for my liking considering the scrutiny he/she was facing when the BAMWagon started rolling.
Vote:Destructoryourpost right before I voted Flameaxe was shrugging the whole thing off. And a bandwagon? He hadonevote on him. Opportunistic?? How?
And what happened to this, anyway? vpwayne66 in Post 349 wrote:I will be seriously pissed if these guys skate through as scum just because we have all got used to not taking them seriously in anything that they do.
That's all of it. Most of my other responses to criticism haven't been commented on since, so I'm left wondering why people are voting for me..::][:::::][:::::][:::::][::.-

No, the scrutiny you were under. When the FA wagon started, PEG, Tyler, myself and skruffs all expressed suspicions of you.destructor wrote:The scrutiny he was under?
When avinashv started pushing FA, it seems that you took the opportunity to capitalize the attention on FA by escaping scrutiny.

He hadn't? I think he had. Certainly more than a few people at the time.pwayne wrote:His inexplicable "Elmo has provided content"...
I didn't take peg's seriously. I already replied to Tyler's. I replied to most of yours at the time. I didn't really understand Skruff's until I reread it. No way to prove it, but I wasn't feeling any pressure when I attacked Flameaxe and JDodge.pwayne wrote:No, the scrutiny you were under. When the FA wagon started, PEG, Tyler, myself and skruffs all expressed suspicions of you.
There was only one person criticising Flameaxe at the time. I'm not sure what constitutes opportunism, though I can see where you're coming from. But read below...pwayne wrote:When avinashv started pushing FA, it seems that you took the opportunity to capitalize the attention on FA by escaping scrutiny.

My surprise was legitimate and wasn't about being scrutinised so much as it was about the fact that I actually had a wagon on me. I really didn't, and don't, feel there's a half-decent case on me so I'm surprised that I've gotten myself as many votes as I have. While I'm not entirely unhappy about it, since any content is better than none, I've got not fear in saying that there are definitely a bunch of players who could do with the attention more than I.
Yet... you are voting a player who is trying to pressure said lurkers into activity. You don't think there's something inconsistent about this?pwayne wrote:Nothing has changed with the statement you have quoted.

Destructor: You quoted my first (well, technically my second, but it was right after my first one and only because I couldn't edit). While it wasn't defense as such, I was trying to explain why I wasn't jumping on you like the others were at the time. Yes, you seemed a little shady, but it was early, and there were a few times where you seemed a little opportunistic (pretty much mirroring what pwayne says on this), but I agree, you aren't nearly the biggest dot on my radar right now.
As for the lack of communication, for some reason I thought you weren't really talking too much the few pages around that post---it wasn't entirely accurate, but yeah, like I said, I was trying to justify why I wasn't jumping on you. Not very good logic, but whatever.-

Lowell: Do you have a specific game I could read? Also, are you happy with the progress you feel we've made so far?
Still don't like the destructor wagon. PEG, Skruffs, what do you feel is the strongest reason to think he's scum? (I am still somewhat lazy, and still need to read his exchange with pwayne at this point.)Succinctness is pro-town.

Late in the game lynches need to be accurate, but early in the game, any sort of wagon is acceptable. You might be all fussy and fos me for saying such a blasphemous thing, but let's be honest. The reactions everyone had to the wagon yesterday are MUCH more useful than the townie who got lynched. I wouldn't have said that a year ago when I was fresh and idealistic, but after a lot of experience I have learned that it is best to focus on interaction in the beginning of the game, and NOT accuracy.destructor wrote:Any lynch is totally not as good as any other. Lynching someone's who's being terribly anti-town, obviously scummy or stupidly unhelpful is far better than lynching some random person a mindless wagon has formed on.
And only scum really know who is or isn't scum, and you are basing your opinion on what? Did you explain yesterday what about Ryan made him likely town? Not saying you didn't - merely curious.destructor wrote:

Late in the game it is far better to get a player, any player, in a vanilla game lynched than allow it to go to night. Who were you pushing when Ryan was under attack? Also, your opinion of 'scummy' is notably flawed. You made an explicit point of sayign that you were intending to go after me today, I think (someone did anyways) though I was confirmed town; this is another reason I am interested in seeing you lynched; you are basing you 'pro town' and 'scum' tells on very shallow reasons.destructor wrote:

Absolutely not. Why would you infer that I am saying that? I am inferring that the scum are more likely to try and build brownie points with the town by lightly defending pro-town players and fossing those that are attempting to scum hunt. Absolutely scum need to be lynched, day one if possible, but unless someone makes a spectacular tell or a specialized one that someone can snag onto and use against them, it's *unlikely to happen* simply based on all of us having NO information to go after. And again, you just kind of 'cleared' ryan, when you have no reason to do that; that makes you more likely to be scum.destructor wrote:

And I just checked to see why Ryan wasn't posting; apparently I've replaced him. So yeah.
PWayne's flippancy strikes me as nervous scum, too.

Interesting observation considering how skewed your perceptions must be to pick me out as being flippant in a line-up that includes Lowell, PEG, FA and JD. It is clear that my level of seriousness surpasses theirs by a great deal.skruffs wrote:PWayne's flippancy strikes me as nervous scum, too.
Methinks it is more likely that you want to gauge my reaction. Well...how did I do?-

I agree that in the 'random' stage any wagon is a good wagon, but the rest of this is bs. As the day progresses, why not focus on both interaction and accuracy? If we're going to relate this back to the Elmo or ryan wagons, I don't believe they were well 'aimed' given their context, which has been my point the whole time.Skruffs wrote:Late in the game lynches need to be accurate, but early in the game, any sort of wagon is acceptable.

The 'usefulness' of the townie who got lynched and the information from the reactions to the wagon is a null point. They are one and the same, are they not? There will always be information to gather from a lynch and the wagon that lead to it, regardless of whether it was on town or scum. The real distinction is that lynching scum is better for the town both in numbers and information.
I didn't say Ryan was town. The point I made, and that you're ignoring, is that I believed there were more suspicious people around. The ryan wagon, so far as I could tell, was based on some retarded out-of-game grudge and NOT on anything that had happened in this game. On the other hand, my votes on DeathSauce and TylerJ were based entirely on how they'd been playing.Skruffs wrote:

Please point out any and all point in this game where I've based pro-town and scum tells on shallow reasons and then why,in the context of this game, it's vote-worthy.

I know it sounds backwards. But it's da troof.doseem to be content with a Day 1 mislynch while suggesting that scum-hunting in Day 1 isn't so important.

What can I say? I completely disagree with you on this and am not found of the notion that this comes down to me being "fresh and idealistic". I was trying to scum-hunt and treat Day 1 seriously. Some others weren't, such as DeathSauce, and he got lynched for it. I imagine Day 1 would have been more fruitful if there were more people taking it seriously too.
Wtf. When did I clear ryan? You seem to be making a few assertions about me that are just false.

No, I don't believe you're voting me for pressuring lurkers. That's not what I meant. I think it's inconsistent that you would express concern about two players lurking and staying under the radar but then put your vote on a player who is trying to get them to participate. You're sending out a mixed message - you don't like lurkers, but you find a player trying to do something about them more worrying.pwayne66 wrote:...I see nothing inconsistent there.

Actually, you know what I just realised? You pretty much were voting me for pressuring lurkers, only you called it'opportunistically diverting attention from yourself'. But putting attention on the lurkers is exactly what I intended and you, who expressed concern about them going unnoticed, shouldn't have had an issue with it. That's the inconsistency.
There is an obvious disparity between the attention you're giving me and the attention you were giving the lurkers you claimed to be worried about..::][:::::][:::::][:::::][::.-
