I know, it's all minor things but it adds up. The reason I'm asking about this is because I'd like to hear other people thoughts. I'd say he's the most scummy for me right now. I do that first part all the time. What's the use of a blind vote day on from someone to pressure if there's no follow up. Kita did it as well. For me, it wasn't a "policy lynch", it was a move to not only put on pressure but to also start discussion. Look at how I did it in that game where I fakeclaimed DT. The second part is a continuation of the first part which is to pressure anyone that questions or defends the person being voted. Once again, I did this and have done this in multiple games. At that time, redFF had not stated that the reason he was voting for tyrran was because of policy lynch reasons. The one who brought up policy lynches was VE (if I remember correctly). Yeah I agree with you and kita that redFF looked weird but that swap was so out of the blue. One moment he's supporting red and his policy lynch and the next moment it's on redFF? Once again, not a random swap, once I acknowledged that I misread VE and DrH's posts, I realized VE is 100% correct in not only calling out redFF but also saw that redFF was misrepresenting facts (one of the reasons why I misread/switched VE and DrH's post) Add in his bullshit defense and the vote was justified. | ||

It is comparable to publicly announcing your town reads on day1, giving mafia additional reasons to shoot at players that you think are town or exploit your read(s) to manipulate you He could have been trying to get Toad lynched based off of nothing, by attempting to create a dumb bandwagon when the game had barely begun. This is all jackal has done (although we are not far in and he has a tendency to lurk) other than add to the childish bickering/insult hurling so far. It's pretty obvious Jackal was fishing for reactions. redFF bit the bait on a nonsense "case" (aka none) against Toad at the moment. Why do you think I asked Toad what his opinions of Jackal calling him out was? | ||

Layabout is bad because he berated dirkzor for not finding 3+scum and hasn't stated a read all game. Criticises me as if i was not being sarcastic but instead as if i was being serious about finding 3+ scum early on. Wants to lynch me for not posting a read during the time that i was asleep, or did not have computer access. To clarify my original post (below): + Show Spoiler + On February 22 2012 03:44 layabout wrote: I honestly cannot beleive that we are a good 20 hours into the game and you have not even found 3+ scum. These excuses are beyond weak, and are far from what i have come to expect from Dirkzor the townie. Dirkzor has been saying " I do not have any strong scum reads at the moment" is an entirely reasonable thing for him to say (it isn't very helpful however). He then says that the player he would currently lynch is chaoser but he has not called him scum with confidence.Instead it appears that Dirkzor feels pressured into trying to offer something and so gives his best (but weak) scumread. This again makes sense because having confidence in your reads this early on indicates either fantastic scumhunting ability or extreme foolishness. It may be necessary to appear confident in order to convince others to support you but your are unlikely to have enough information to actually be sure that you have caught scum. There is too much uncertainty. And yet ViceraEyes had Voted for Dirkzor and redFF said he felt he was a safe lynch target. I was being sarcastic by calling Dirkzor scummy on completely unreasonable grounds because i view the idea of lynching him now as similarly unreasonable. Why has Dirkzor been called scum you ask? click all to view the thread. hit Ctrl F and type dirkzor. Scroll through the absence of good reasons to lynch Dirkzor today. Kitaman wrote that Dirkzor used language that made him look scummy and chaoser said he made a criticism that he did not follow up on. Lynching based upon that would be utterly absurd. | ||

Now since then he's got worse, one thing he said especially leaps out at me I read this as "here's my excuse for why I won't be giving many reads this game" It's one of the scummies things said so far and something I'm fine with wagoning. This is not a case. | ||

I'm glad you have that big confidence in my ability as town but I can't magicly make me notice scum... I notice what I notice when I notice it. And when I do I post it. So far this game I got jack. Jackal seems to be himself. Last/only 2 times I've played with him he was scum and posted exactly like this. Never seen his town play so I don't know but people says he is hard to read either way. | ||

Kita's vote on (policy?) Tyrran while attacking Toad for defending Tyrran while attacking RedFF for his history regarding policy lynches and then unvoting Tyrran to vote RedFF is weird. Don't know what I should think about it. I like that you can argue with someone while still having the same opinion but this just looks way to double sided. I see no scummyness from Chaoser's town read on VE. Other people have done similarly things in this game. But chaoser as a whole is a bit flip floppy... What happened in between there? What was the positive part that you have to criticize? You never talk about it ever. | ||

I'm keeping my vote on redFF because he was the only player that so obviously misrepresented/twisted other peoples words and facts to make his cases and scum really have to do that to make any kind of convincing bandwagon at all, unless it's a (wouldn't you know it) policy lynch or piling onto some expendable player like Kenpachi. Some things WBG said jumped out at me as odd, especially his claims that redFF is unreadable. I highly doubt that is the case. I have not played with redFF a lot but there are far more obnoxious and spammy players who are not terribly difficult to pin down. Players who are overly concerned with antagonizing others, talking about how other people are bad, etc. are not helping anybody, they are not moving us closer to lynching scum, this is scum behavior. The lynch ends tomorrow at 1PM PST correct? | ||

Of course, perhaps it's something you expect from dirkzor, but I'm not sure if that is grounded in reality either. Any thoughts on BC layabout? May have missed this: The point was that catching 3+ scum so early is highly unlikely. I also think that you could have worked out that i was being sarcastic and that this above comment(by you) is beneath you. + Show Spoiler + perhaps not the best choice of words but ima just roll with it BC seems very concerned about the trashy posting, the one liners, the policy lynch and the insults. In nearly all of his 7 posts he in some way comments on policy lynching or he adds to the bickering, while still saying that we need contribute. Yet he does not move discussion forward or present new ideas. It seems to me that BC does not wish to help the thread progress and that he was happy to see so much crap.
