blackmagechill:I wasn't voting over the FoS, I was voting him because his super best friend/ possibly scum pal voted for me after reading all that pressure. Maybe to apply pressure to me, or at least move me off of the flailing mafiat.
If this is true, why are you voting the guy who's the recipient of what could only be a scum action instead of the guy actually performing the scum action? Do you not consider the odds of Chaos Armor being scum to be higher than Deathsword being scum, even though it's Chaos Armor's actions that have sealed your case?
And, having the one person you questioned throw a pressure vote on someone pressuring you is a pretty huge read.
Is it? What makes you so certain this is a deliberate buddytap followed by a deliberate chainsaw, as opposed to a coincidence followed by legitimate pressure?
On my part, I mean. I thought I'd gotten rid of all of the other crap in the post. My bad.
If it's unclear, just repost it. Better to double post than to have your stuff be indecipherable.
Deathsword:IronyOwl: I'd rather not share anything that I got from that exchange right now.
Alright then.
However, this does raise a few issues. For one thing, your current sole claim to activity is asking Fiskav why he considers you the third scummiest person here. That's it. You have, as far as I can see, zero questions beyond that one. Does this strike you as an effective pace for catching scum?
Secondly, Super Secret Hidden Plans tend to not work very well, because they usually amount to "I don't want to tell you anything or do anything useful." Oh, sure, you've got some hidden special cunning scheme that requires absolute secrecy to function, but they almost never work out, and then you're left saying "Uh, well, the reason I refused to explain any of what I was doing for three days was, uh, I wanted to see if I could catch SoAndSo doing scummy things, which I couldn't. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm totally not scum!"
Then you get lynched for dodging questions while doing jack shit.
So, I'd like you to take a good, close, long, hard look at the reasons you have for keeping everything secret, because overly elaborate plans usually fall flat, and trapping scum is usually a lot less effective than pressuring them. They already know, intellectually, what to avoid; you're not going to lure someone into some dead giveaway scumtell just by not telling them what they're doing wrong.
Pressure, on the other hand, is harder to resist, because it's more subtle. It throws them off. They can't just follow a textbook entry describing what not to do when pressured, whereas they obviously can do that with raw scumtells. If your plan requires not telling anyone about it, most likely they've already covered that part by reading the same list of scumtells that gave you the plan. If your plan requires yelling from the rooftops that somebody's scum, most likely they're going to panic, however slightly, at the realization that you've caught them.
So, up to you, but I'm not likely to move my vote until you've explained yourself.
