Again, apologies. I've been away all week and won't be back until the weekend, but I don't want the game to stall it on my account, and the activity doesn't really warrant an extension.
Quick answers/thoughts:
If he does indeed volunteer, then he's not scum, votes on him are immaterial or wrongheaded, and I hope he survives (is survival a possibility? we don't know). If he tries to wriggle out of it, though, then yeah, he's scum.
PPE: Oh yeah, you are scum. Tiruin. (But I'd still like to see IronyOwl respond to the above)
I don't follow you here.
During Day 1 you stated that you thought it was likely that the person using the skeleton would be killed, so why did you cast your vote for IronyOwl when you were voting Deathsword all day, only to change it in this same post to Tiruin? And then later you say that your vote on IronyOwl wasn't a full case, but you were apparently perfectly willing to vote him on it, even though you thought Deathsword was scummier.
Simple: I grew uncertain about Deathsword as end of day approached, since I knew I could be misreading noob-tells as scum-tells. He was scummy enough, but I wanted to have a second choice, which Tiruin gave by recanting his volunteer thing. He had been scummy earlier (as I mentioned, for example,
here), but I couldn't reconcile his being scum and volunteering. When he took that back, he jumped to first place.
About IronyOwl, I found his vote on Deathsword questionable, so I questioned him. I voted him as pressure, a demand to explain himself. Then Tiruin made his scummy move, which sealed his fate. I clearly explained this
here.My case on Book:
1) shameless bandwagon on Tiruin;
2) quotemining OB;
3) giving Jim shit about his skeleton vote while ignoring Tiruin's statue vote;
4) ignoring my questions;
5) lying about answering the aforementioned questions;
6) voting OB after he asked for replacement, bullshitly claiming that he was 'running away' (despite OB asking for a replacement in at least one other game).
This is ridiculous, but in brief: 1) explained above; 2) explained
here; 3) explained several times; 4&5) never happened; 6) bullshit, I don't keep track of games I'm not in, and it was less than 10 minutes after his post; 7) blow me.
As for who the scum is, I think
Shakerag has done as little as or less than Org; he generally tends to be more useful when he's town, and activelurk when scum. Meta, lack of material, and gut tell me he's scum. Second choice shared between
Org, for uselessness, and
Dariush, for blindly tunneling with empty cases and having done fuck-all otherwise.
