People bang on about cases - if people wanna do meta, then LOOK at my filter in say Mad Men. I didn't make a case on Zeph there at all, just went along with a redcheck (in comparison, look at how I did NOT vote for previous red check, talis). Then I voted VE on a paragraph and I only made my big case on JingleHell because town would'n't do what I wanted when I just told them to.

If that's what you think then you need to re-evaluate right now. You are absolutely a hindrance because town is not able to get a proper read on you, nor are you bringing anything to the table. How do you see this as not being a hindrance?

You are aware enough of goings-on to reply to these questions, but the mind boggles that your stance is "I'll continue being useless - at least I'm not a hindrance".

It makes absolutely zero sense.

This town is deep in the shit because people like you to play the game properly.

I replaced in last night for a scummy lurker, and I have had ZERO attention on me, no-one asking me questions about how my predecessor played, and it's farcical. The reason being that there's the clusterfuck around the main candidates, but also there are SO MANY PLAYERS like you that are doing nothing. If you are town, contribute your god-damn opinion and try to win this game.

About marv:

I'll give you that his lack of cases is disconcerting (which I already pointed out to him, but he didn't respond), and reading back through DFMM, I didn't realize just how much less information he has been forthcoming with in this game compared to that one (IE, he had large posts explaining his thought process/rationale/opinions on the major cases). Also, he dropped his case on me extremely easily (pressure vote?), and mildly buddied me.

However, like I also mentioned, he does have a few posts that feel distinctly townie: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=16154605 for one. As scum, why wouldn't he just let it ride that my post said I felt like he was distancing himself from the Risen wagon by unvoting?

Also, his interactions with Risen feel different than his interactions with his "scum reads" in NMM3 and DN. Here, he was pretty "bulldog"-y. Like he was trying to keep Risen posting so that he could feel Risen out. In NMM3 and DN, he was using his arguments to convince everyone else, rather than starting a shouting match to convince himself.

Conclusion: I'm always extremely paranoid of marv. He's certainly good enough as scum to be scary, and generally is more open and forthcoming about his reasoning as town. I'm not sure I have a firm grasp on how to read him though. I've spent a huge amount of time talking with him on IRC about strategy, past games, how he plays, how I play, etc etc. I feel like I have a decent idea of how he thinks, but the converse side of that is that he has a decent grasp on how I think as well, and is certainly smart enough to potentially use that to manipulate me if he was scum.

Basically, I'm suspicious of him, but I don't think he is the best option for today's lynch.

Something about this post bugs me.

You're right, it doesn't make sense from the perspective of scum marv bussing scum Risen. What about scum marv and townie Risen, though?

You're acknowledging that your posts are (at least partly), responsible for the Risen wagon that is forming. But you unvoted and distanced yourself from it.

Hmm...

How am I distanced from it? I'm the most associated with it because of my unvote.

Use your brain.

I'm not sure ranting at the ~20% of the players of the game reading and replying to your posts is going to encourage the activity of the other 80%, dear.

" But you're not that kind of guy." always makes me smile when someone knows something about how I play. Anyway, you know I never let towns sit on their asses.

What do you think of the bravado of Shady? Some over-compensation in his first non-newbie game, perhaps.

That's not what he said, why are you saying it is?

I will read the thread properly when I manage to steal a decent chunk of time at work.

For now, come out and play or die a horrible scummy death.

##Vote: Kville

Fairly happy with where my vote stands at the moment, given Kville's responses having come into the game (he decided to ignore my question, too).

Bluelightz, you can't come into this game all eager because of the playerlist and then go "he's suspicious, but now he's not" and disappear again. Step it up.

Shady I don't like because of how he twisted Obvious' post. But he's active and I'm wary of mislynching him because he has a tendency for some foot-in-mouth action.

I'm quite suspicious of talis; a lot of his posts have this... touchy-feely-careful feel to them. " Actually to be completely honest", "this suggestion felt to me", "which is how I initially read it", and
