Consider: YOU are sure about Dieno, but others aren't as sure. I feel more sure about there being at least 1 scum among Syl/Dieno than I do about either of them being scum, and everyone forcing them to argue against each other provides FAR more information than YOU going against Dieno. If you quick-draw on Dieno, we lynch him and he flips bad townie, mafia gets another kill off and we're left wondering if Syl was scum or not and whether we should look into the double-lynchers or the Keir voters for the bus. If we pit Dieno and Syl, we likely get all day to wait before one of them finally duels each other (giving us plenty of time to react to the night kill and speculate and build cases, etc.), and then we get a pretty good idea about BOTH of their alignments in the duel. No offense, but you and Yamato are not very high on my priority list for who we need more information on. | ||

Thanks everyone for holding off on early-day duels, and nobody forget about Snarfs. | ||

Yamato's response is not very adequate either (it explains his flip on Adam, but not on Keir). However, far more telling is that he Anyway, @Adam, I am scum for wanting Keirathi dead for a terrible opening and hard defending Dieno. If I were scum, there is no way this makes sense: My D1 choice to bus was the experienced Keirathi, rather than the complete newbie Dieno. Why would I not do that the other way round if I had to choose one (which you seem to think I did, because 2 busses was too much). Anyway, if being wrong D1 is a scumtell, it's looking pretty terrible for Marv: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17881123 Hard defending Keirathi's play and only a slight scumtell on Dieno. I was wrong about Dieno. I was probably also wrong about Thrawn. Am I scum for having wrong D1 reads? I am probably also wrong about Hapa, but I'm not really convinced yet. Hapa is a good town player who pushes his reads. This game he has thrown them out into the thread and done nothing with them. He is also good enough scum to throw people under a bus when it seems necessary. He does this N0 to dieno and D1 to Keir. If you think he was pushing the Keir lynch, how is this: Pushing the Keir lynch? But Hapa nor Yamato are my strongest scumreads. Please take a look at Zare and tell me you don't think that is scum? I pushed the Keir lynch harder than anybody at the end, and I helped talk Thrawn/Hapa off the edge when they were intent on dueling people immediately, and was all for a Dieno/Syl duel. It's true I haven't been very active (I'm actually just about to leave for most of the day again), but the things i've done while I've been here all end up leading to scum being lynched. Sorry for my inactivity, I know it hurts town, but seriously, everything I HAVE done has led (or attempted to lead) to scum lynches. | ||

I can understand people calling for my head based on the fact I've been AFK since Thursday, and I'm sorry for that. Friday was much busier than I anticipated, and then I just had family stuff going on all weekend. I'm going to go back and re-read everything from Friday on and have more of a thread presence today than previously. I've seen mentions that my Day 2 participation was super scummy -- I believe I made a single post saying we should be careful because the Dieno lynch looked super easy, and suggested we should look more at a double-lynch, and I can see how that would look scummy while it's the only post I made for the day. As far as this duel goes, I think Yamato's jumping the gun seems like a very anti-town thing to do, but two main things worry me about this: 1) When I read his filter the other day, he said something on Day 1 like "Keirathi needs to die; he needs to die now; somebody kill him please." So even though he did move to Adam and then switched at the last second to Keirathi because everybody else was (after deciding they were both town), we put unnecessary pressure on Keirathi way before he was up for lynch (unnecessary if he's scum). 2) He's outright stated he no longer thinks the other guy he's dueling is scum. I really doubt that scum would do that, and calling for your own lynch in order to save a townie life seems, uh, dumb for scum. So honestly the question is now even though yamato is convinced that Hapa isn't scum, how convinced are WE that Hapa isn't scum? He wasn't one of my scum reads on Thursday/Friday and probably won't be now, but I will look at that as I read back through the thread, since priority 1 for me is getting any input in on this Duel that I can before the deadline's reached. Then I'll share my own reads. | ||

How do you reconcile your vote with the fact that Hapa was the first person to defend Adam on Duel 1, and one of the first to vote Keirathi? | ||

On March 03 2013 22:56 Oatsmaster wrote: That was an easy decision to make. Why didnt you wait for hapa to respond? This is the crux of my problem with Yamato. Someone called him out for being all talk and no walk, and as if he's mostly concerned with his appearance, he talks up a lynch target and then duels them immediately without leaving any time for discussion (or defense). If you look at Yamato's filter, he himself brings up a deluge of reasons why this is incredibly anti-town when he first criticizes Adam for doing it (and then he votes Adam, only switching onto Keirathi to be the hammer). And in the middle of Day 1, Yamato tries to blame Iamp for confusing everything, and around Day 2 he wanted to duel Syl (not set up the Dieno/Syl lynch that town had pretty much agreed on). Yamato also promised reads on everyone, and ends up only giving an easy read that doesn't contribute to the town environment very much (Snarfs town) and then Zarepath=scum (and only after someone asking him specifically to do a read on me). For Yamato to redeem himself in my eyes, I would want to see his reads on every single player, as he promised a while ago, not simply individual reads in response to town ... I mean, how easy is it to sheep when you only have to post reads on the people others want you to? Where's the originality in thought there? He's also already martyring himself, saying he "doesn't care" if he gets lynched as long as it helps people like Adam learn to play better. If he's town, he should care a lot, especially because he was apparently so confident in his scum read that he DUELED HIM WITHOUT WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. He should be more concerned with persuading others that Hapa is scum than with persuading others that they shouldn't lynch him. ##Vote Yamato P.S. - Cora, I saw where you switched gears on yamato, but I didn't see anywhere where you specifically answered my question about how you reconcile Hapa's defense of Adam and early vote on Keir. I think if you're going to base your case almost entirely on the reputation of dead townies, I'm just trying to get you to think more about the ramifications of your read, and I think you really should consider that point if you're serious about your vote. It's a pretty strong town tell in retrospect after considering the Keirathi flip. | ||
