Alright, I've got some time. Lots to read through, so let me know if I missed anything.
. . .Well. . . Is this a new record?
In light of the recent flips, I would have to put my vote on eithir Urist or Hapah.
It is very WIFOM though, If Hapah was scum, and he knew borno was town, then he really pushed that vote hard and that makes him suspicious now that he has flipped. As a matter though he did directly lead to the lynching of a power role, so my vote is on him. for now.
I'd disagree with this. I knew my case wasn't the strongest, but I felt borno was the best vote of a bad lot. I dont' think I crammed it down anyone's throat, though I did have to defend that vote more than once. And how would I know borno was a power role? It's real unfortunate, but I had no way to know.
Well, that was fast. Okay:
My vote on Hapah still stands, because he's a scummy son of a bitch. I still say his reasons for voting borno are bullshit. Beyond that, he was perfectly alright with letting Day 1 end with a no lynch.
In addition to this, Urist looks pretty goddamn suspicious to me. I think your attack on Borno was also bullshit. OMGUSing is a scum tell, but in this case, I think it's a null tell, because EVERYONE ATTACKING HIM HAD BULLSHIT REASONS. Including you.
I would also like to clarify something in this post. I make a clear distinction between a shitty reason and a bullshit reason. A vote with a shitty reason actually has some basis, however small. A bullshit vote has NO REAL BASIS. You are not making votes with shitty reasons, you are making BULLSHIT votes. That's why I think you're scum.
So I a "scummy son of a bitch." I know my reasons are weak, and I played it straight. And yeah, I was alright with Day 1 ending in a no-lynch, because
this is a beginner's game. Telling people that a D1 lynch is necessary is all fine and well, but experience is the best teacher: And most of us are in this game to learn. I actually wanted to see how it played out, I've never been in a mafia without a D1 lynch. I'm well aware that my actions may be controversial, but there you are.
Jiokuy: Glad to see you getting your hands dirty! Not happy that you're shooting at me, but it's preferable to lurking. I wouldn't say that I redirected anyone to borno. I was asked questions about my actions and opinions, and answered to the best of my ability. Others (Super and Flying, if memory serves. Will have to re-read to confirm) picked up on things that made him borno look scummy, and the things they spotted seemed reasonable (to me, at least). Also...nevermind, Urist already set you straight on the "if he flips town, lynch me" thing. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that.
Hapah: So, your weak-ass case on borno actually got you to a mislynch. Congratulations, scum. Let's detail what you're going to be hanging for today.
borno's "edit" to his RVS question was inconsequential. Dopey, sure, but not scummy. Not answering a question until you've answered his? Unnoteworthy. But you vote him for it and get fairly defensive when he responds (IMO appropriately) to you.
[Also, borno@76, that really wasn't an OMGUS.]
See the top of Hapah@77 for something more OMGUS-like.
You've got a self-admitted weak case. You had other players telling you it was a weak case. Yet you kept your vote on borno the entire time and, more importantly, never really went back to put more pressure on him! If you had put in as much effort pressuring borno D1 as you did defending your "weak scumtell" to everyone else, I might not be voting you right now.
Saying I'm going to hang today is a bit premature. Why is everyone so hostile? I haven't even defended myself before this post.
Yes, I knew my case was weak, and I readily admitted it. I kept my vote on borno because it was generating discussion, even if most of it was accusations and suspicions leveled at me. I think anything I did at that point would have been painted as scummy.
More pressure? He's trying really hard to get this guy lynched on no evidence, SCUM.
Less pressure? Apparently that makes me scummy-looking too.
Change my vote? God help me, can you imagine that? "Look, he's trying to get away! LYNCH!!"
Hell, if borno hadn't tried to deflect suspicion every time someone looked at him he'd probably still be alive, but we have to go with what we've got. I'm sorry that he got lynched, but I'm not going to stick my neck in the noose so he can live. I know town's primary concern isn't living, but I'm not going to martyr myself for another person whose alignment I don't know at the time.
If I missed anything, or if you have any follow-up questions, let me know.
I imagine Flying was killed because (s)he was very good at that particular way of questioning that makes you spill your guts to answer the questions. You just get needled and needled, have to answer this legitimate question that that quote taken somewhat out of context and oh yeah, what about this questionable thing you said? It's exhausting to be on the receiving end of that, and when you make a slip Flying would know.
My suspicions are that at least one (MAYBE both, but I find that unlikely) of the people that voted borno are scum. Flying is dead, so that leaves me, Super, and Urist. Signs point to me, apparently, but there you are.
