Ok this might be where you misunderstood what I said.
1. By town making stances. I mean townies, now town as a whole.
3. I was discussing policy lynches to move discussion along. We have to start discussion from somewhere.
1) then be clear about it. I don't like having to go after someone and then him saying "well, by 'town' i didn't mean 'the town' but i meant 'townies'"-- communicate precisely whenever possible.
3) well then I have a real lynch to discuss, your lynch. Much more interesting imo.

Cyber_cheese was saying that we shouldn't take a clear stance on anything because we might change our view later on. I pointed out how that is bad for town, tell me do you agree with what he is saying then?
Cyber cheese can go eat a carrot. he's not the relevant party here-- you are. mr. scum.

Also, I'm being unnecessary aggressive, what do you call those gifs? Maybe you can take your own advice, you hypocrite.
My aggression is both a) necessary and 1) hilarious. you aggression is unnecessary and unhelpful, whereas mine is going after an obvious scum player. I also somehow was so aggressive I woke you up several minutes after you went to sleep.
Nobody else notices this? Nemesis, a "town" player, decides to go to sleep, but when he is attacked, magically awakens to defend himself? Oh, it could be coincidence, but maybe he was scum and was trying to find an excuse to lurk-- being asleep. Then, when the pressure was on, he blinked. he felt a need to defend himself, because he is scum.
He has already been caught in a lie. What say you to this, sir?
I am more confident than ever in your scumminess.

preface: this aint no chainsaw
blzinghand, I feel that you're being the unnecessarily aggressive one here. first you say it's bad that nemesis is using policy as a centerpiece for lynching, then you state it's bad that nemesis says policy lynch discussion isn't important? your arguement doesn't flow. and dude, you misread his original post; he's saying "town should take stance" as in townies should each have their own stance. ur being all flashy and stuff. is this normal BH?
Yeah i'm typically rather aggressive. But it is necessary, and I will not discard my aggression, for it is a vital tool. It has already exposed that Nemesis' lies and it will do more as the game goes on. Maybe he's just a town player who didn't think things through carefully and worded his posts ambiguously (in an attack that is fundamentally about wording posts).
But the fact of the matter is, he did somehow wake up to respond to my posts. He will doubtlessly claim that he hadn't yet gone to bed... but bear in mind that his series of actions is distinctly something a scum player WOULD do.

Happy to have a new topic  . Reasonable? No. Harmful to the town? Also no. It's the beginning of day 1. A vote, some stuff about bed times, and a power rangers gif doesn't seem very suspect to me. I'll be watching though.

The first line, yes. The remaining three have not happened (yet). I suspect Nemesis has realized that feigning sleep would be his best move here-- an accurate perception.

You're the one being agressive, voting on someone with no facts to backup your vote. And the "Your removal will help the town greatly and improve our discourse" just is a retarded statement. First of all, discourse? You want discourse to improve? That doesn't make sense if you are town. And why would his removal help the town unless you're absolutely certain he's mafia, which you aren't.

bad logic, anti-town to be bad logic. This kind of thinking hurts town. If you plan on using this sort of reasoning going forwards, you are either scum or worthless town.

I'd say "come at me bro" but your argumentation skills are so benign I feel like any "pressure" you put on me will only serve to exonerate me.

irony?
and hows it anti-town to have bad logic? it just means you're unhelpful, that doesn't mean you're anti-town.. And my logic is perfectly sound thank you.
One thing that really sets me off about you is your willingness to shift your vote to me after any pressure at all. You didn't have a case on Nemesis and you don't have a case on me.

TAKE ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE BUB
##vote: Blazinghand
Being good at arguing doesn't make you town. At this point you're just wildly voting people. Sowing dat chaos. Way to take the one off statement in his post and ignore the rest. You're voting people off of semantic mistakes as opposed to having any real reasoning, so thread flounders under your boot. As you might say, this kind of thinking hurts town. Scum.

No Fucking Idea,
I'm gonna take more looks at people,
Has anyone took a look at ccalf? He has posted NOTHING! besides his /in post.
IMO I find Sinensis generally unhelpful with his posts, he has only posted some useless question, and said hes gonna watch Blazinghand, I feel he needs to step up.

'If he's town' is good for setting up a safe escape when a mafia lead lynch goes badly, but townies shouldn't need an escape.
This is a slippery slope that scum love. Lets try to lynch scum, and settle for nothing less k?

Ideally, yes. In practice, this kills town atmosphere because everyone is afraid to post.

@C_C + Show Spoiler +dude my filter in that game is 1 page. wth LOL. good times ^^
bluelightz no one can talk a look at cccalf because he hasn't posted anything. you're doing that thing when you don't make any sense. hip hip hurrah
C_C is doing that thing where I have no idea about his alignment, mostly b/c he hasn't posted much direct opinions or cases on anyone. I hope C_C does that sometime. O_O
hey lurkers/semi-newbies who haven't posted yet! feel free to start posting, don't mind the hubbub ^^ what's your opinion on the state of town? answer soon pls!! relevant topics include 1. role of policy lynching, 2. the closed set-up 3. blazinghand vs. all contenders.

I think he is being aggressive and unreasonable. Johhny wasn't wrong about anything he said about Blazinghand as far as I'm concerned. I don't think Blazinghand's vote possesses any substance. I think he is just trying to see who goes after him, and to what end they will continue to go after him. As of now I will be watch his vote the closest toward the vote deadline.
|
While I'm at it, here is what I think of johnnywup:
I think he is ballsy to go after BlazingHand because BlazingHand is seemingly going after anyone who will pay him any attention. I don't think a mafia player would go after BlazingHand, because doing so risks being in the spotlight; BlazingHand being a very aggressive player at the moment.

Fixed that for you. There is only one relevant topic so far. The closed setup is closed and policy lynches are what they are. Redirecting people away from addressing the topic at hand is unhelpful.
