But when it comes to 1der vs ON, a matchup that actually is in play right now, you are much more unclear and hesitant. 1. This point doesn't really hold; you say that a townie who is still in the running for a lynch would probably be more active, which is true. But a scum who is up for lynch would also probably be more active, compared to if he wasn't up for lynch. While I have my own reasons for being suspicious of ON, your logic here is a lot less laid out then your previous points. 2. It's not ok to put down an opinion, then say "well I'm not so sure because I'm a newbie". It seems like you're trying to shy away from responsibility for your actions. Especially because you are more assertive in other posts. If you could make a more definitive stance on 1der/ON, that would be nice. 1) I do maintain my feeling that it makes more sense For town on to plead your case over mafia as u dun really hv yet anyone to really back u up. This is what bother me the most about ON. His lurking made him scummy to me. 2) it was a pretty bad way of me saying I don't have a strong view on him yet. I would then put a vote on ON. But now that I think about it. What to really feel about Djo's vote on ET. Isn't to actually save the scummy lurker? I already stated that there is a high chance that djo and ET cannot be mafia together. If Djo actually is, then his massive 6 votes against ET looks more like a vote to save his accomplice ON.

You can vote for whoever you like as long as your explanation doesn't stink. And as long as the person can even get votes, which ET can't even get this round. Better luck reading the game and the thread next time. Make your votes and Explain your votes. Okay. On October 11 2012 10:36 sandroba wrote: Yo. I want da0ud to go to the next round. I have a hunch and those have been pretty good historically. Not only is that not an explanation, sandroba doesn't even comment on the fact that thrawn tried to start a pissing contest with him. He definitely had the time and opportunity to comment on why thrawn was yanking his chain but just glossed over the issue. On October 11 2012 20:49 sandroba wrote: Yes I'm was not explaining anything because nothing was solid yet. I rather let people talk then to post a ton. da0ud and thrawn are flooding the thread a lot, so I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, even if he didn't make it through. That is because I would expect him to post way less had him gotten a pass as scum. Right now I'm pretty sure ON is scum. There was no reason to throw those 2 random votes and freak out a ton if you had not read the thread. Voting isn't even mandatory. The only explanation is someone informing him erroneously that he would be modkilled due to the cohost pointing out in the thread he had not voted and since on his mind he had to throw some votes somewhere he just used the opportunity to push some agenda that is yet to be seen by voting the most controversial match up. No reason for him to vote that match up at all if he was town and had no info, since he doesn't even know those players, and I would expect him to throw one vote on someone he knew if he didn't have any agenda. His afterthought is that da0ud ended up continuing to post, so he's probably townie...and he wasn't explaining because things weren't solid yet. Why is it that he is exempt from needing to explain anything he did? That so-called hunch should have been based on something, shouldnt it? On October 12 2012 05:17 sandroba wrote: That's pretty ridiculous comment prpl. And I known for my manners or my detailed explanation of my actions? No. Have there been any flips so far? No. Look at the cases people posted, which is the strongest? Definetely the case on ON. How can you ever say that I'm not trying to get scum lynched or that my play has been uninspired? You can't. This is currently the last post of his filter. It contains a large number of passive-aggressive questions that find flaw in items not discussed in prplhz's quote. Things like ON's case is the strongest (have you seen...me?) or the fact that there are no flips (Whether or not someone is flipped has no impact on you reading them as scum the way prplhz described). prpl is quoted as saying sandroba "can do magic" as town, but so far he has not seen that "magic". This type of response from sandroba reads as scummy to me because he's not answering for the things he's done, he's saying that's the way it is and screw you guys for calling him scum over it. He promptly disappears. That response, combined with ET's "meta read" On October 12 2012 02:41 EchelonTee wrote: Sandroba vs. Kush I have a strong feeling that sandroba is town, which unfortunately is a feeling that is 75% meta and only 25% in thread. Sandroba is one of those super strong town players who is comparatively abysmal as a mafia player. When he's mafia, his lack of effort and interest becomes abundantly clear very quickly, sort of like Palmar but even moreso, IMO. Therefore, when he plays mafia I find that he runs active disruption to try and make as much chaos as possible until he inevitably gets shot/lynched. His posts have been been both interested in setup discussion (a common sandroba town tell) and reasonable tempered, compared to how belligerent he can be. I do not want sandroba killed today, but if his activity/interest/track record take a nose dive he should be murdered. Quote me on this if sandroba begins derping. Kush is a tough read for me and I'm pretty much null on him, but I don't want sandroba to advance. You wanted it quoted, so there it is ET. I think there's been plenty of time for sandroba to be useful, and he's been as bad, if not worse than me in terms of helping the town scumhunt. The only proper information/explanation he's provided is why he voted for ON (the strongest case in the game by his own admission) sandroba will get as many of my votes as it takes to move him forward on the chance that ON advances instead of me. If it looks like I''ll be moving forward, he'll get them all. | ||

Right now, I would vote him over ON but I don't want to spend more than 3 votes on this (I didn't keep my 10 votes like, let's say, Hopeless). Prediction: ON advaces against my will to the Round 4 5-3 Basically, I'm too scummy to be scum. And yeah, that's a stretch, but read my filter for the level of evasiveness and unproductive behavior. I actively avoided discussion and existed in my own little world of deadlines and schedules, all of which came up in djodref's case against me. I wanted djodref to advance because I felt I'd have a better chance at getting this case made against me and seeing if anyone bites onto it. So far, the responses have not been too supportive of his case, despite the fact that it makes sense, doesn't misrepresent me or what I did, and has clear and well thought out reasons for his vote against me. Djodref has been very consistent and open in his read of me AND of his stance of ON's lurking not being that scummy. For this, I now think he's town. I voted him to advance because I wanted to ensure I could the case on me made (knowing I looked scummy as shit) to see how his reads would or would not change. I feel that if I had advanced ET, he would not have been pressured into making the case. In addition, it demonstrates that djodref can and does provide his reads to the town and is an asset worth having around. | ||

The issue I have with this is that this says nothing about djodref's alignment. You say that because he say scumminess in you, he must be townie. Do you not understand that both town and scum want to make cases on scummy people? Towns people want to kill scum, while scum want to kill bad townies who make themselves look scummy. Like you. You basically ensured your demise to get >>1<< town read. You haven't thought this through. | ||

What would you have done if I had put a big fat case on you? I've had my eye on you for ages; maybe if you had advanced me instead I would've done that case. What that make me townie? What you yourself acknowledge is that you look scummy and that you have played bad; how the hell are we supposed to know if you're town? Usually I lynch scummy people because by definition of the adjective, they are most likely to be scum. | ||

Scum also knows I'm town. Despite the fact that I look like shit, the only player to properly address my play so far has been djodref. No one batted an eyelash when I advanced over mementoss or thrawn. There's been no redirection involving my matchups. I've been the clear forerunner the entire time, the easiest, biggest target there is, and NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE A SWING? I'll bet every town player in this game has been nursing suspicions on me since day 1. No one wants to be implicated in any connection to me. I needed the case on me to actually be built. My alignment is the only thing I know right now, its the only thing that I can manipulate to get information from other people. I felt that djodref was the strongest candidate to push for this case based on his existing assertions that I was scummy. Now that its out in the open, people need to take a stance on whether or not my actions appeared too planned, too scummy, too crafted to make sense from a scum perspective, and they absolutely could, but I'm saying that I did it on purpose and that I'm town.

I'll pull stunts like this if they work. Like you said, it was shady. Of course it was. That's been my whole point.

I pretty much would have OMGUS'd you to see how angry you got and gauge your reaction afterwards. You've already chewed out Mementoss and OriginalName for casting 'aspersions' on you. Reading you as town would have depended on how hard you derailed the thread being angry with me, not just calling me scum. It is never just what you do, its how you do it. | ||
