Drawing evidence to support a pretty scary-looking case against you-- especially evidence that's a frustrating, memorable, and recent experience of just about the same situation-- isn't all that damning to me. yes, but look at the way tnkted is posting. I'd rather lynch almost everyone in this town than him. Wiggles is the alternative wagon, and while I have no clue how Ferryman goes about pinning him EA vs just "anti-town", I think the case against wiggles is much stronger. Wiggles is a great player, but I just don't think it'll work in our favour this game. | ||

People don't listen to good arguments because they're afraid of being wrong. I just spent XLIV presenting good arguments only to be ignored so people could kill some townies who are obviously town but make silly mistakes. All I got for that performance was people hating me or thinking I'm scum because I was right, and I told them they were wrong. I don't think tnkted is scum, but whatever, someone else can take the responsibility of convincing us to do the right thing. If there is ANY chance we can switch to wiggles, that's what I want to do. | ||

I have a new strategy, I'll never vote for people I think are town. I'll actually force a no-lynch over it. I'm just not going to spam the thread away trying to convince people I'm right. ##Unvote tnkted ##Vote Mr. Wiggles | ||

Tnkted is not scum because of this tiny little exchange. Thing is, the lololo thing is too unforced, too reactive and too casual for him to possibly be scum. If he was scum, he'd know I was town and be a little more hesitant to take my "derp" as an admission of slipping up (whereas, it's real intention was to portray the silliness of the accusation upon tnkted). If he's scum he's really good scum. I don't think he'd ever do what he did there as scum. He could have pushed the same issue, trying to paint my joke as a slip, but he would have gone about it completely differently if he was scum. | ||

Meta is usefull, sometimes, but I don´t think it´s applicable in finding a new kind of 3rd party with an unknown optimal play, especially as the meta argument focused specifically on his first post, which wanted to start a discussion more than anything. Since then wiggles has sometimes overreacted in his defences, there might be something there, but some players has said that Wiggles is hard to read, and I´m prepared to trust that Meta more than what Ferryman brought up. Then take a look at some of the things that have happened in the game. Wiggles decided to vote Eiii in his opening post. There is nothing wrong with randomly voting, but the fact that he felt the need to specify it was a pressure vote (through linking an awesome song by bowie/queen), shows inherent signs of guilt, and not wanting to stick his neck out. I don't even understand what the purpose of voting someone with the intent of only pressuring would be. At he point in time he threw down that vote it'd have been more sensical to go after one of the players that have posted, or to simply claim the vote on Eiii was to get rid of lurkers. | ||

Why do you not just want to switch the vote over to mr. wiggles? Ferryman already pointed out some very suspicious stuff in his play, I added a couple of pointers to it. He has a stronger case against him than anyone else currently playing. And I need to think harder about the implications of Cyber's plan, but I think that agreeing on which person the psych should visit, would indeed be the best way to proceed, that anonymously clears the person visited of being the EA. | ||

That doesn't mean I'm scum, there is a logical leap you're taking right there. Could it possibly be that I'm a townie and I wanted to get another townie's head off the chopping block? You intentionally avoid that scenario. I already explained my reasoning for thinking tnkted cannot be scum, you choose to ignore that to paint me red. This is basically you grasping at straws, knowing that you're against a wall. I'm fine with it, I like a race between myself and you much better than a race between tnkted and cyber. And hopefully enough of town is reading the thread properly to see what's truly going on here. | ||

Palmar, you´ve been fairly sure about Wiggles since the start, apart from the brief vote on Tnkted which you withdrew before the deadline. Why isn´t Tnkted a good target anymore? Do you still think Wiggles is EA or do you believe Ferrymans "TRAP" and it´s suggestion that Wiggles is Scum? Even when I voted for tnkted I did not think he was a good target. Then I decided to change my policies around, and from now on I'm not supporting lynching targets I see no reason to believe are anti-town. The vote on tnkted was simply based on my older policy that no-lynching was anti-town, even at the cost of killing a townie, but now I have changed my mind. I don't really care all too much about Ferryman's case and his trap. I tend to form my own opinions. I don't read exactly the same things as Ferryman does in Wiggles's play, but the attention it has drawn to both of them has given me enough material to work with. While I don't agree with his methods, I do agree with his conclusion. I said even before the trap was revealed that I had no clue how Ferryman pinned him as "EA" rather than just "anti-town", but the trap simply explains why Ferryman thought he could do that. Because from where I stand I was leaning towards Wiggles being normal scum, rather than EA. Me saying I don't agree with his methods doesn't mean they're bad btw, I use some very questionable methods (including tunneling, riling up emotion etc) but they are very effective even if people don't like them. It just means he has a completely different style of play than I do. I think everyone needs to review the case against tnkted, realize they're incorrect and switch the vote onto Mr. Wiggles. | ||

None of the people pushing Wiggles think he's EA over any other kind of anti-town entity. I have no idea if he's the EA, and neither does Ferryman. The reason people are defending me is because it's sensible to defend me. You're new to this game so I'm leaning that the reason you ignore facts, don't read the thread and approach the game from the point you're doing, is because you're unintentionally bad, instead of Mr. Wiggles's accusation of me which is almost certainly maliciously bad. The fact that Wiggles has tried to swing a vote on me in a game where I am in my opinion radiating townie sunshine all over, is especially incriminating, because it's bad play, and wiggles isn't a bad player. By elimination the only remaining option is Wiggles being maliciously bad, which is almost certainly the case. I still need to form an opinion on you, but I was leaning town. Now that you have proved to me you aren't reading the thread, I need another look. | ||

Why wouldn't this 'trap' have been sprung BEFORE the extension? Surely if it were designed to be a trap from the get-go there was plenty of time in which the 'trap' could have been sprung with time to spare to secure votes 2) It seems more like a compromise. "Well guys you obviously don't all agree the horror so I'll just call him mafia and you guys vote on him now?" I'm not really sure of a better way to word this, it's just an impression I got 3) Only Palmar and Jackal have expressed any positive interest in the trap, for a grand total of three, and there are three mafia. This one I admit isn't a fair argument to use against it, but the first point basically convinces me on it's own To the first point, It's absolutely false that the extension is better saved, with less people in the game there is less to discuss. The first day of mafia is always the most important day. I have no idea why/how the trap is set the way it is, I have my own reasons for voting Wiggles, I think I have outlined them pretty well. on point three, again you're guilty not reading the thread. I have no particular interest in the trap, I have never expressed any positive interest in the trap, you're simply saying things that aren't true because you're not reading. The only comment I've given about the trap is that it's weirdness explains something I already questioned. To think that a mafia team would out themselves like that on day one is simply... naive. I hope you really put in the effort to backtrack and read what's truly going on here. | ||

Or are the scum maybe people who tried to defend the townie? Thing is, a dead townie is not a good option for us. A preferable option is to kill scum, but failing that I'd actually prefer no-lynch. | ||

If we reason like that, then we might just as well sit quietly and wait a week until the scum have killed off everyone. Well the field is open right now, Wiggles is leading the race with 5 votes on him. You should probably take your own advice and make those six! | ||
