@ric:
but this is a message board game that attracts people who are bored or have nothing better to do so whats wrong with posting about liking somebodys dog picture and such?
You seem to be misunderstanding what I am talking about. I was referring to his posts during the game only. The confirmation stage posts I didn't even count, because they are not part of the actual game. So all that stuff about the avatars wasn't even in my read. I looked at only the posts after the mod stated that the day was starting.
i understand about flying under the radar but still...
There is no 'but still.' The action is either scummy or it isn't. It is scummy to try to stay under the radar by not posting anything that helps the town. There are no two ways about it.
what do you think about the idea that legacy was suspicious to many people on here and now youre replacing him and taking up his role/position? why should one suspect you any less?
Many people? Hardly. I have three votes on me based on a case that doesn't even make sense. The reasons that people have given are that my predecessor contradicted himself with bandwagon voting, and that he was lurking.
First of all, you can't accuse him of lurking if he disappeared entirely. You have no idea of his reasons, and to assume that it was because of suspicion on him rather than real life reasons is probably the worst thing you could do in this situation. It's one thing if he was still posting elsewhere, but he hasn't even been on the site since his last post. So therefore, this point against him is moot.
Second of all, his contradiction was not even a contradiction. He said he didn't want to lynch someone before they had posted even once. This was misinterpreted as him purposefully avoiding a bandwagon. There are several things logically wrong with that. One, his sentiment was pro-town, because it was anti-quicklynch. Two, he was under the impression that bandwagoning was bad (which he stated in his very next post). This is where the so called 'contradiction' comes into play. After he is told by LunaLouise that early bandwagons are good, he proceeds to vote her, following another player. This is the
second
vote on her, when people have been taken to L-2. It is not even a bandwagon vote.
He was also accused at one point of jumping on multiple bandwagons. He made all of two votes before he was replaced, and one of them was a first vote. So yeah, that didn't actually happen.
To sum it up, I'm not exactly bothered by the votes on me, because they do not belong there, as they are there for reasons that boil down to logical fallacies. My predecessor did nothing to actually warrent a vote.
@OP:
It's hardly active lurking when everyone else is lurking too. That doesn't excuse me for "lurking", but without discussion, there wasn't much to comment on. I am still happy with my vote as of now though.
There's plenty to comment on. Saying that there is not enough discussion is no excuse. If there isn't enough activity, then kickstart the discussion youself. You are an IC. You have been playing much longer than the newbies, so you should be better able to dig up tells from the discussion already present than they are.
And I am happy with my vote too, and therefore yours as well, since Vissian has actually done things that are scummy enough to vote him over.
Because, no matter how you dress it up, that's what the world is. A community of idiots doing a series of things until the world explodes and we all die.
Whoops. Sorry 'bout that. I guess I had the vote order wrong.
