I'm still confused, because hiro already voted for xt. He also never said things about scumdar, vain, etc. etc. whereas I did. I voted for Vain.
It just sounded like you misread the names because my analysis post fits with what you described.

Dude good eye...I totally meant for that to be directed at you. lol
Yes, LYNCH SCUM, not someone who we can't analyze.

In fact, I'm gonna do it regardless, just to show you I'm serious.

VE, Im gonna say this one more time: STOP. PUTTING. WORDS. IN. MY. MOUTH. If you want me to clarification on something I sad, just say something like "hey hiro, is that a soft defend of Palmer?". Or, how about asking me " yo, mr. Protagonist, what are your thoughts on palmar? do you think he is scum?". that way, I can use my own words, which *surprise!* can be analyzed?
your really grinding my gears...

You're right though, it makes sense to give Vain more time to build up a case, or just let a vigi (if one exists) shoot him. We can lynch Vain later if he survives the night. My gut feeling of scum on Vain has been pushing me to lynch him, but I can see that there exists more objective evidence to support a vote for xtfftc.

##Vote Mig
Foolish, I'm concerned about your vote here. If you're not sure what to make of a night's events, why in the hell would you vote for someone that is in your opinion involved? I reread Mig's posts (like you, it was short reading) and he hasn't done anything overtly scummy so far...there are a LOT of scummy targets out here, why Mig? Everyone is voting based on YOUR logic, I'd like you to state ALL of the reasons you think Mig is the best lynch if you please.

...
Apologizes meekly to supersoft later, why?
I did not say that the list of people Supersoft made was a list of people who were suspicious - I merely pointed out that he was wrong. I voted for Palmer, Supersoft quoted my post and voted for me immediately after - and then he put me on the list. It was sloppy, no matter how you look at it. Then I saw I missed doing it on the voting thread, so I apologised for my mistake. Why - because I was wrong and even made a sneer remark on it.
Then there's this gem: Show nested quote +On August 21 2011 03:49 xtfftc wrote:On August 21 2011 03:37 wherebugsgo wrote:On August 21 2011 03:24 xtfftc wrote: By the way, I have to apologise to supersoft - I just noticed that I didn't post in the voting thread, which was probably the reason he put me on his list (although it's still kind of sloppy).
So I'm going to vote after Sevryn defends himself. Palmar, DropBear and BrownBear are a story that has to develop further. wtf? why are you afraid of voting now? Is it because others have labeled you as scum already? I expected supersoft to be superhappy about this but noone else. Sevryn is basically dead, one way or another. No mafia will be dumb enough to protect him anymore and the townies are aware that going after anyone else now would look suspicious. But in case Sevryn gets modkilled, we need to use the opportunity for two town kills. wat
wat indeed? What is it that you are claiming? Is this all about semantics or is there anything more to it?

but never actually made such a post, semi-copping out with this trash:
If I don't answer QuickSilver, people will claim that I have nothing to say in my defense. If I don't analyse Sevyrn, I will be accused of not contributing.
I never got to responding to it, mostly because I felt there was not much to talk about. Most of his accusations were based on me arguing the point that lynching lurkers as top priority is not a great strategy for town. The rest was an analysis on my vote for Palmer, which was taken out of context. Still, there you go:
On August 20 2011 16:52 QuickSilver7 wrote:Our scum dying today is xtfftc, he does the same thing that Trotske does. Show nested quote +On August 20 2011 05:09 xtfftc wrote: ##Vote: Palmar
He obviously had something in mind and there's no way he wasn't aware of how his accusations would be perceived by the rest of us.
However, his strategy hasn't benefited town by now. He has until the deadline to convince me to vote DropBear or BrownBear. If nothing meaningful comes out of the discussion initiated by him, I'd rather have one less player who throws arbitrary accusations around.
I'd also like to point out that it shouldn't be that difficult to convince me to switch to DropBear, considering DropBear's behaviour. So lemme get this straight, he votes Palmar to try and get Palmar to convince him that DB or BB are scum? He doesn’t even think Palmar is scum but he’s fine killing him if it means “one less player who throws arbitrary accusations around” Townies throw accusations around not mafia, mafia want to lurk where they won’t be seen. People vote for more than one reason. Not every vote means "this person is mafia". Sometimes you vote to pressure, sometime you vote to encourage.
He also picks DB and BB as people who he’d switch to if Palmar magically convinces him that one of them is scum. However he doesn’t give any reasons why he’d vote for these people other than a very vague reference to DB’s “behavior.” Mentioning DB wasn't a vague reference, I had already commented on it in a previous post. Mentioning BB was to encourage Palmar to keep on with his lead because I thought he was onto something.
Here is another: Show nested quote +On August 19 2011 08:46 xtfftc wrote:On August 19 2011 08:38 Curu wrote: We already had a mess of a first day in Personality with everyone trying to roleplay.
What point are you trying to get at xtfftc? I don't have anything to add really - as long as we're all active, all is good. I'd just bear in mind that people don't want to die, even in a game. Woa red flags going up all over the place, for context xtfftc was posting some troll crap at the beginning about democracy and random stuff which Curu called him out on. Firstly he says he has nothing to add, bad bad bad, as a townie you can always add to the discussion.
For context, this post comes in the middle of a discussion about lynching lurkers and different lynch organization techniques. A townie should have lots to say on this subject, after the lynch is how we’re killing scum. Yet xtfftc doesn’t address any of this and skates by with a very neutral “as long as we're all active, all is good.” Then he drops the bomb “I'd just bear in mind that people don't want to die, even in a game” a townie would be happy to die, every townie that dies at night is a blue that didn’t get sniped (or a medic failure lolol  ). Townies should have no fear of death and be contributing as much as possible, any reticence towards posting indicates something to hide and that indicates scum.
This was a discussion about policies which should have been over a long time ago. I said what I had to say - that some town players will lurk and lynching players for lurking is a bad idea. At the time of my post there were people calling out for lynching all lurkers as a top priority... I don't agree with this and never will.
Anyway next post: Show nested quote +On August 19 2011 08:06 chaos13 wrote:On August 19 2011 08:03 xtfftc wrote: Surely the Mafia is aware that open discussion is the ordinary citizens' strongest weapon and are thus likely to target those who are unafraid to speak their minds? A dictator always targets the means of communication: the media, the internet, etc. Yes. Does that mean we should all lurk? No. If everybody discusses in a productive way, mafia will have trouble blending in and providing the same level of constructive input, and suddenly those extremely pro-town players don't become such high profile targets, because everyone is joining in to an equal degree. I agree, of course. If the whole population takes part in the democracy process, the people become too powerful to be messed with. But it often takes just one ordinary citizen to show signs of cowardice - and suddenly we see a snowball effect affecting the whole town.
But in the below post he contradicts himself by saying that if 1 person doesn't post, we all lose.
Snowball effect = one person deciding to do something and the others following. One person is not a problem unless the others follow suit. I apologise if the way I expressed myself was a bit hard to understand but by twisting my words all you do is make me suspicious.
I never said that "if 1 person doesn't post, we all lose" - I said that "One person is not a problem unless the others follow suit."
The nested quotes here show the little exchange about democracy I was talking about earlier. Now I would have let that whole thing go as early game trolling and not taken anything he said seriously, but rather then say “oh hey nbd I was just trolling”, xtfftc chooses to defend his comments which means he meant them, if he mean them than GeyMist’s argument for xtfftc’s posts being scummy is suddenly relevant. Beyond the democracy exchange this post also rehashes stuff others have been saying about lurkers and town KP, adding nothing new to the table. The very definition of CWC.
I did mean them and I still mean them - prioritising on lurkers is bad for the game. According to QuickSilver I was wrong for saying "there is nothing more to add", yet I am also wrong for "adding nothing new to the table". I made my point about the policy, then I made it again. And then I got asked about it again. Yes, I had nothing else to add and I still don't.

Nope, thanks for asking. I was pointing out a scummy comment by xtfftc.

The answer is yes. I didn't put words in your mouth. I didn't say 'Hey everybody, Hiro says Palmar is scum!' Nor did I say 'Hey look guys, Hiro said that Palmar is definately town'....that's putting words in your mouth. I made an observation about one of your posts in which you WERE, in fact, soft-defending Palmar's actions in relation to someone else. Calm down a bit sir...the post after that was an honest mistake, I meant that to be directed at bugs.

Hm, Mig has been suspiciously uninterested in this game. I excused his D1 invisibleness because that's pretty much standard day 1 for him, but by now he should have become much more active with good insights.
Two days and only a single meta argument/accusation from Mig.

It only makes sense that we continue the campaign today since Mig hasn't done much to prove himself an ally to the town.
And I am building a good case against him; you can expect more later in the day.

lol, xtfftc, why didn't you take me serious earlier... suddenly you get afraid of dying and you contribute like crazy.
Doesn't convince me yet. If you keep analyzing people, i am willing to switch my vote on vain. I want to hear something about nard, vain, mig and kurumi please. Just your thoughts.

I did not say anything about the negative aspects of random accusations. I said that if I was scum, I would not want someone around that randomly accuses people.
