heh i do tend to post mostly at work... ghandi the safest thing would have been to get on the soniv bandwagon becuase it would have kept me out of the lynching chair. also im pretty sure im the only one that brought up our two dead people voted for you with me.
about req im not sure. he seemed so townie to me day one but he has grown a spine. I think he is giving good different views. also he voted for wave day 1 which doesn't seem scummy really cause its kinda a waste. since then he has acted like wave if someone questions him (i.e. spazing a bit or as cixah called it barking at the wind) its a bit hypocritical but maybe he's just grumpy? I cant really see anything hes doing being good for scum.

Well that's really not that acceptable. There have been some good arguments in favor of my lynch, surely you can come up with something. Please take the time to formulate a read of some sort.

I think you're pushing too hard simply based on timing. There are still well over 24 hours in this day phase so I don't think we need to call people out for starting to post now. There was pressure on Coma before the Soniv post so honestly if he continued to lurk it would have made him look even more suspicious. I'm not sure I agree with Alzadar that this has cleared him of suspicion though, hopefully he continues to stay active.

I'm intrigued by this ketchup-Wave alliance, it's so different from D1. The reasons for it are clear though.
I need to go back into Soniv's filter and get a sense for myself.

I mean you could elaborate more on why you are neutral, say why you don't agree with the people that are pushing him ect. Also you shouldn't be completely neutral on anyone at this point, everyone should at least be leaning town/scum by now.
|
People can push on him all they want. I'm neutral because none of his posts make me think he's scum, but none of his posts jump out to me as someone who's helping town win.
I can be neutral or leaning on anyone I want. You don't have to agree with it.

So if he was lynched right now you would be completely indifferent?

Also your push on ketchup seems weird. It honestly looks like you're just rage voting him because he's putting pressure on you. That's not good town play. We don't know who is mafia and who is town so just because someone is pushing you doesn't mean they are mafia. It can be frustrating but it's an important part of the game. Also ketchup's general play has seemed town so I'm gonna need more reason to believe he's mafia rather than he's pushing you over Alaric.

*pushing Req over his read on Alaric, not pushing Req rather than Alaric.

Why not push for them and point out how they're more suspicious than Soniv to you when prompted about him, them?
Ultimately the game is about lynching mafia, not "not making mistake" and being fine with lynching a random because you couldn't read him. 'cept for D1, but that's because it's hard to have a definite read...
As for Coma:

Uh... yeah. Can't really argue about that, especially since I defended the guys with the "RL stuff" card saying I wouldn't question it. You're unrelated to Ghandi, in that you aren't both scum.
However Ghandi's still the "easy" solution because he's been attacked so much, and without Asmo's case on soniv (and Tolkien dying, which seems to have removed a cushion between Wave and Soniv (or just made it one less person for Wave to argue with so he does it harder with the remaining ones )) he'd still probably be the current bandwagon... alongside you.
I'd say I value consistency, but your circumstances, that make your vote on Ghandi less suspicious, now say that it's not a strong vote either because you didn't have much time or material to be 100% sure of your initial call, eg. circumstances have changed between then and now. If you didn't have the convenience of Ghandi to place your vote, who would you investigate/pressure? And why?
(I know the arguments against Soniv are solid but if he's your pick it's going to look like a bandwagon... )

Not as if it's been completely unwarranted, sometimes the easy option is the right option.

I voted for ketchup because he's pissing me off and pressuring me over nothing so I did the same to him.
I don't think my opinion on anyone at this point means anything. My scum read is still Wave. Jeff is town but he's just shitty.

well yeah in addition to the reasons i mentioned i also agree with the other things people called out about ghandi. the pressure was on for me to make a move to i moved on the person i believe is the most likely to be scum regardless of current bandwagoning and what would save my skin.
for some of the same reasons surrounding the death of moonbear I have been saying im not sure about soniv. i was saying this before wave came out with his big attack. but could they both be scum? it doesn't seem too likely.
if i have to pick a third? i don't know im not so keen on forgiving asmo so quickly for the bandwagon on moonbear. guessing what the mafia could be doing does seem townie, but i'm convinced there are scum among those who voted for moonbear, maybe i am focusing too much on that. but if asmo is scum he just attacked soniv so it seems unlikely they both are.

You took a lead in town position just because your first post was a "follow me to victory" post. You've been very aggressive yes, but you've also been pretty defensive in the face of any criticism. You were incredibly indecisive for the rest of the day, keeping your vote unplaced for longer time than I'd expect after you criticized me early game for not placing my vote. On top of that, you wanted to enact some last minute "shenannies". A scum wave would absolutely know how to manipulate a newbie town, so excuse the town for not trusting your "judgement" thus far. This is largely how I'm feeling. Wave, your actions are suspicious. You're quick to jump on other people's posting because they don't line up with what you like, yet when people do the same to you, your defense and martyr shield comes up very quickly*. You also have used posts claimed to be "noob moves", such as claiming VT as your first D1 post and causing arguments instead of converstaion. These actions make you scummy. You're quick to accuse people of starting chaos when you, yourself, have been causing a clamor. Rather than helping the town progress naturally, you are either: a) Town and trying to force the Town to play your way or b) Scum and doing Scum things Both are bad, one is grounds for lynching. And, if you are Town, then all you're doing is drawing death N1. + Show Spoiler +*But, knowing your personality, you're not the type to take criticism easily, much like myself. Even if you don't want to admit it, this may be just your natural reaction.
I distrust Wave naturally because he's more experienced, and his movements have been more manipulative than they have been teamwork.
But I thought the same things about LordT so who knows/cares/
|
Wave doesn't need defending but when I think about what teamwork would look like it probably means all the newbies in here would actually be putting in the effort that he is... otherwise it looks like he's manipulative.

Ah okay, sorry about the misquote. I think you're misreading Wave's attempts to lead the town as being manipulative. I think is a direct result of him trying to guide the newbs which actually backfired on him.
It also sounds like you're getting really down on yourself because the game isn't going as you hope. That's kinda how I felt during my newbie games. I'm leaning towards Req just being discourage town rather than scum.

Really? I see it more as Req continuing to try to convince us that his reads are really just him spouting off stuff that should just be disregarded.

These, along with all of his D1 "but I'm a newwwwwwwbie" whine, paints a situation where he can say whatever the hell he wants - why should anyone listen to it, he's just a bad with bad reads.

The fact that Req's vote was wasted on Wave is, in fact, in scum's favor. When townies don't consolidate and coordinate, it gives scum a huge advantage because they are coordinated in their own scum QuickTopic thread. It's the same reason I was not on board with Wave's attempt at EoD1 shenannies - it can work, but people have to be very coordinated or it can go poorly for town.
Looking through Req's filter, two posts jump out at me:

I'll look into Soniv next, Wave. I can say my focus hasn't been on him much.
This was ~midday yesterday (RL time), a few hours before D2 post.
On October 14 2014 04:54 Requizen wrote: Decent reasoning. I could get behind a Soniv investigation, even if my scum klaxons aren't blaring around him.
Also worth noting: ketchup. Again, largely ignored, no large stances taken. Many, many posts of "Why do you think x is scum" "who are your scumreads". Possibly starting fights, possibly starting conversation, but his volume of posting with little commitment is offputting.
This was an hour later. He says he'll look into me, and then states he can get behind an investigation on me. But today, some ~16 hours later, he still doesn't have any semblance of a read on me? Or at least refuses to give it.
Req, what's the deal.
