MrZentor has correctly identified my vote as a reaction test against a less known, less experienced (objectively by post count) player. By doing this I have achieved two objectives of mine: first is to get better reads on people via gauging the responses to my weird play and also subsequent responses to those players. Pushing to something more meaningful than trite policy lynches and giving us something to work with. Secondly, it makes me more visible - people are keeping an eye on me. Because I'm somewhat confident in my ability to reveal my towniness, this serves to give me a greater voice in town. People pay attention to the posts of those who they think suspicious. That means people gonna read what I say and also get a better, i.e. town, read on me. Awesome. In any case I'll be resuming my regular play. ##Unvote: MrZentor ##Vote: Sinensis (I'll be posting more later in the day. Slept at 4am yesterday due to shenanigans and gonna go work now. Hold me accountable) | ||

Hold me accountable) Accountable for thread contribution and presence, not a lynch on Sinensis (if that is where the confusion is coming from). Sinensis was the first flag of mine in terms of responses, and therefore the first thing I mentioned. I didn't comment on prplhz b/c I didn't have time in the morning to properly read it (opposed to a singleton post from Sinensis). Sinensis is a gut read. His posting seems very ... mechanical, almost as if it has been examined and proofread. "Since that seems to be what we're talking about" doesn't seem like a natural phrase. Neither does the word choice "disappointed" - we've only played one game (SoaF) and I don't think our relationship is that where he would expect great things from me. Now it's a gut read because posting style isn't definitive / I'm not sure how good my tone & diction analysis is, which is why I plopped down a pressure vote. There isn't yet enough to push him hard, so gotta get more info. Explaining exactly what he is doing is giving away my potential case evidence which serves to weaken any future potential cases against him, and removes the "pressure" part of the vote; however now I am doing so because it seems some people are really concerned with my initial behavior and my proving my innocence is pretty important for future collaboration of reads. thoughts on prplhz I found his initial vote on me and subsequent explanation of it (low tolerance on bs) believable from town perspective. Now he called marv scum based on just one post (as he voted me first and the only thing that changed was 1 hr and a couple posts from BL and marv) - strange. His policy lynch on Zentor comes to mind, and perhaps he saw a strong parallel between that and marv's inital vote on MsZontar. Yet to stop him in such a way (calling him scum repeatedly rather than addressing town) isn't what I'd expect from a townie who genuinely wanted to do it. His "not this again" doesn't make sense, because he believes marv is scum, in which case it is VE and marv going at it, and they aren't both town in his mind, yet that was what it was in Movie Mini Mafia (the game he is referring to for those who don't understand) - a slugfest between two townies. People are definitely concerned and expressed suspicions of him yet he has not done anything to remedy this, but has been posting in a haughty / antagonistic manner. People are obviously putting visible effort into this game (beside me at the point), yet he throws a hissy fit. Concluding thoughts: People shouldn't be WIFOMing themselves out of a lynch. He did some scummy things. If he doesn't give adequate explanation / contributions, he should hang end of story. | ||

As an aside there is no need to crap on MrZentor. Rather, you should be figuring out with me if he is either trying to deflect a lynch or if he genuinely thinks that Sinensis is much scummier. On that note, MrZentor how does Sinensis alone earn a mention, and subsequent vote, when I see several other players who would fit the bill of "cautious" or "afraid to post"? | ||

There isn't a need to put my vote on that because it already is the highest vote wagon - it's already being pushed. | ||

Dangeresque, along with MsZontar, BL and drwiggl3s are all people that come to mind. I think they all display a different aspect of caution - whether it is because they are nervous or unsure or scum is the question at that. | ||

You give few, if any, reasons of your own for your voted. You are "jumping on bandwagons." You are "going with the flow." You said I was "mechanical." I don't agree with that observation. I am not a very careful poster at all; take a look at my last games if you don't believe me. I have already said why I don't agree with the observation that my play has been mechanical. I have already said why I would not choose prplhz as a day 1 lynch. If you truly believe what you have just said, I invite you to take a step back, reread my posts in context, and explain to me exactly where I do what you claim I do. I was the first vote for drwiggl3s, and also for you (aside from one post from MrZentor), and I got some flak for not jumping on the prphlz wagon by NSH. I've given reason for all of my votes, and I don't see how you can even consider switching votes to priority lynch targets an exclusively scum trait, as town have ample reason to do so, i.e. to lynch scum. Where are you getting your suspicions on me? Additionally, why did you choose to mention your reluctance of a prplhz D1 lynch now? How is that in my question? | ||
