Right now i think it would be correct to be shooting into the lurker crowd.

I argue a lot on the internet in general. You might say I've seen a lot of arguments. I mention this to be absolutely unambigous when I say: this is some of the worst logic I have ever encountered. I suggested it's a scum tactic. That scum use. Too dumb to be scum isn't a valid argument, and the FACT that I say it isn't a valid argument can't MAKE it a valid argument.

To win this game, we need to talk. You haven't been talking. You still haven't posted a legit scumread. Currently your most aggressive pressure on sinensis is: Im just keeping sinensis at the back of my mind. Are you serious? You think that's helping? That a phrase like THAT will pressure him into responding to allegations? That's so waffly, so utterly useless, so inconceivably deprived of utility, that I can't even say you've done anything this game. Anything at all. Scum. | ||

I'm not going to be voting for grush today unless something crazy happens before the deadline. Tossing aside his random bandwagon vote I don't think he responded to the pressure unreasonably. I mean, I'd be pretty upset as well if I was being pressured to put out analysis posts when the rest of town's strategy was jump-down-people's-throats-at-the-drop-of-a-hat-and-see-what-sticks. Either way, he's said some things and eyes will be on him now in the future. If he disappears or slips up, we'll notice. I'm going to spoiler this next bit because I managed to start writing it and then realized I was probably wrong about halfway through and my position changed from 'this guy's scum' to 'eh'. + Show Spoiler + Between this: On May 03 2012 10:15 papapanda wrote: It is reasonable to vote for blubb if no one else comes out with major slip-ups, and the town has to lynch someone. Otherwise I would sit back and wait for N1 or D2 when more information might be available. Which people have already called him out on, and this: On May 03 2012 22:31 papapanda wrote: A 1.2 line defense? Only a little better than grush. Some of us are obviously more seasoned than others.

In which he brushes off david's requested explanation for his actions (because apparently length is everything). But then I went back and looked at the context again and realized that he was just putting more pressure on because david was crazy-overreacting to being called out for the minor blue-hunting he was doing right off the bat, which is pretty reasonable. So, nevermind. Panda seems pretty cool. I'll have to vote tomorrow-- I've got an hour I can use to find someone. | ||

I know that a few of you are currently feeling like we should place all lurkers and confusing posters into the fire. But the majority of those players will be town and lynching into them is likely to kill (admittedly useless) townies. We are going to be polite in this game. We are going to vote at appropriate times. We are going to act in town's interest's using methods that are simple and explainable. And we are going to destroy red. Besides this 100% generic first post and a few useless filler post (and a great .jpg) you post this: On May 04 2012 07:35 layabout wrote: BH you are just bitter because you blew your own leg off after you tried to rocket jump with the wrong boots on.

The post kind off got lost in the spam, but I'm wondering why you would post that? While I can't really disagree with the idea of killing me/us (there is nothing to disagree with because there is no reasoning) and the BM thingy is not only mentioned by you, why are you posting this? Is it helping town? No. Is it helping you get better reads? No. Then why? About grush... Hmm... The cases on him are weak, even when thinking about this being day1. While we can agree that he haven't exactly helped town I have a hard time finding anything really scummy.

And I will stop tunneling grush for the time being, maybe he will come up with something useful. Still, I would be interested in papapanda's opinion. And katina, do some scumhunting. What is your opinion on grush? For Blazinghand, I think that he is townie, he's pretty active and is even making sense somehow. BM is still lurking scum imo. | ||

Grushes case is a strange one for sure. It's one of the only cases made in this game so far, and he just crumbled and gave in and played the pity me card. This could be a town or mafia trait, the only interesting thing to me is how hard it has been to get votes onto him, 4 in about a day, and the fact that a lot of people are just dropping one liners defending him without proper reason and jumping onto the next person. Still think there is a good chance he could be scum. Here is our only inactive atm (plenty of lurkers right now): Beneather Also, Layabout what song are you listening to? | ||

First of all you are trying to point out that you feel the vets are pushing this game around? Which vets? Palmar(With his 4 posts of nothing)? BH(Who is his usual aggressive self)? Drazerk in the hydra? who else? This game is very low on so called Vets. The perfect oppotunity for you to push your thoughts and ideas through. Not posting is never really a good idea. Not saying its necesarily bad but rarely good. I just don't understand the reason for posting this unless you feel you made the perfect case and no one listened... which is clearly not the case... Mementoss: Don't use the "Its hard to get votes for him so he must be scum" reasoning. Thats stupid. There are only 5 scum that leaves 22 townies. So if he is scum 18 townies haven't voted him... | ||

Just wrong, I can have scumreads that i do not feel should be posted until i can get more infos to back them up. as i do. 3. Fair answer 4. That wasnt a post as an excuse for lurking. Its that for instance a known name like you will have a better sway than say, me, in a random trust based situation. Just saying how that bothers me. Its just how it is. I will not be pressured into making a scumread while it still has a very high probability of error because of very low post count. If this was a newbie game, i wouldnt have a problem with making a scumread this early and voting on it. but it isnt, and so far I do not find it advantageous to play as if it was. 5. Its obvious that he isnt responding to allegations as of yet, therefore im waiting for him to post more or not post at all. I dont see a problem with saying that im keeping him in my mind. OH maybe if you tell me that im scum more my role will change | ||

So you think we should kill Grush because its the only case? You don't really care who we lynch? | ||
