Methinks he did some background research, including knowing the layout of the house for a clean getaway.

Hmm!

What is this. Has everyone fallen asleep. Do I need to get a stick and start poking around? Hmm looking it's still early, but don't test me.

Well, they've been showing the layout of the house on TV since the 50's.

[Rage]

Funny.

I think we need more random votes to provide more discussion. This game has been sitting still for too long.

[Goatrevolt]

Unvote, Vote armlx

I'm all for putting pressure on people lurking/avoiding this thread to get this game going.

[Netran]

Go with more random vote

unvote, vote crazy

[farside22]

Hmm I am seeing that someone people are not waking up. I will do a slight nudge. Be warned if I poke too many times I will bring out the cattle prod which isn't nice at all.

Prodding: OGML, Oman, armlx and Alvinz. Last post July 17.

[armlx]

Oops, for some reason this didn't end up on my watched topic list.

Vote OGML

for refusing titles.

[OhGodMyLife]

And now I have a good reason to keep my vote on Goatrevolt: lurkerhunting.

[armlx]

And now I have a good reason to keep my vote on Goatrevolt: lurkerhunting.

Now I'm a big opponent to lurker hunting without mod action, and even I don't see that as a valid reason to vote someone unless they have stated elsewhere they agree lurker hunting is bad, and in that case you are voting for contradiction reasons not lurker hunting ones. Why is lurker hunting a scummy action rather then simply a wrong one?

Can you explain how that's scummy?

I find this to be an annecdotal scumtell, and will follow it as such.

(P.s. Sorry I took the weekend off)

[Goatrevolt]

What's an anecdotal scum tell?

[Oman]

One that I don't have statistical data on but in my experience scum do more than town.

There's not much I can say about that.

I still completely fail to see why what I did was scummy at all.

[Oman]

Well: Town tend to just vote it and then say "yes, I'm bandwagoning" when questioned or something like that.

Scum tend to overexplain themselves, for fear of getting pressured.

Wait, so you think I'm scum because I explained my vote on armlx rather than place a reasonless vote on him? Now that's interesting...

I want you to show me a proper townie vote in that situation and how my vote was an over explanation.

[Oman]

Show you a proper townie vote?

[Goatrevolt]

Basically, you're saying that you think my vote was scummy because I over explained myself. I want you to back up that statement. The "show me a proper townie vote" was basically my way of asking "I want you to show me the way my vote/reasoning differed from the way a townie would have voted in that situation." The reason I asked that question is because I really don't think you have a good answer.

Also, should I be voting you right now for over explaining yourself when you voted for me? Shouldn't you have just plopped down a vote and waited for someone to ask why you voted?

[Oman]

Unvote Vote Goat Revolt

[Oman]

Thats how I've seen townies are want to vote.

[Goatrevolt]

Well, if that's the case, then

Unvote, Vote Oman

[Oman]

I see.

So you've essentially just done what I said a townie would do.

So you're trying to look like a townie now?

[Goatrevolt]

Actually, I'm voting you because your vote on me is entirely hypocritical.

You're saying that a townie would vote without reasoning and then only give it later on, when questioned, whereas scum feel the need to explain themselves. Your vote on me contained your reasoning within the post. According to your logic, that's a scum tell suggesting that you're afraid of getting pressured for your vote on me.

Basically, your entire reason for voting me is complete bunk. Providing reasoning with a vote is a complete null-tell. Scum provide reasoning for their votes, and so do townies. For the same logic that you're providing to vote for me, I should also be voting for you.

You were pushing crap logic as a means to put a vote on me, who already had someone else with a legitimate vote on them. It looks like you were just trying to push a bandwagon on me, and threw out that anecdotal scum tell stuff as a fancy way of making your vote look nice.

Which is the reason for not putting a random vote in your first post after confirmation stage?
