Captain Ford, you missed a question.
Captain Ford, Who is your second-most suspicious?

I'm going to assume you mean ShoesandHats and Mr. Zero. I couldn't answer for sure, it may be because they've both slipped up majorly and are trying to save their own lives. Weirder things have happened. Like I said I can't prove it for sure but it's entirely plausible.
Oops.
Nerjin, If you can't show a single point of evidence, why bother posting it up? Also, why aren't you pressuring them more to get evidence?


Creating an good attack would take far too long, it would require me to shift trough various posts, create more quote's, re-read, etc.
Thus i concluded that it wasn't worth my time, since i was short on it.

What i could do as well was to defend myself. This is a bit more flexible. You can for example just answer questions, or answers questions which refer to different posts, etc. I chose for the first option, since that was the least time consuming thing that i could do.
Listen that's fine with me, but don't start harassing people just because they didn't have the time to perform the other choice cause of valid reasons and don't add lies to the fray while doing it as well.
Mr.Zero, In my eyes, the issue is not that you were defending yourself, but that you prioritized defending yourself multiple times over scumhunting. If you truly didn't have time, you would have posted later. Instead, you choose to make posts that repeatedly do nothing but defend your actions. Doing so is an over-reaction to his questioning, and isn't scum-hunting. If you were sincerely out of time, why did you post defenses more than once?

You lie, You cherry-pick, you fake information , You harass people not for pressure, no, just harass them because they didn't do that what you would do. What do you have to say ? scum?
Quotes please? From what I've seen, Scottzar has been pressuring you, and you've been over-reacting. When someone doesn't answer your question, the idea is to apply more pressure, not let it go or wait for an answer. You did this as well when I was semi-lurking, why shouldn't he do it if you're not listening to him?

-SNIP- Questions again why i defended myself instead of scumhunting/attacking.

Let's look at it like this. It was quite late, i wanted to go to sleep soon. However, i also wanted to do something with the mafia.

Creating an good attack would take far too long, it would require me to shift trough various posts, create more quote's, re-read, etc.
Thus i concluded that it wasn't worth my time, since i was short on it.

What i could do as well was to defend myself. This is a bit more flexible. You can for example just answer questions, or answers questions which refer to different posts, etc. I chose for the first option, since that was the least time consuming thing that i could do.

But like again, because i was short on time. I quoted the entire thing and added the orange text, i wouldn't have done it that way if i would have more time. But i didn't.

Does this sound more logical in your ears? Your WHOLE attack is biased on what YOU would do if you were in my position.

Listen that's fine with me, but don't start harassing people just because they didn't have the time to perform the other choice cause of valid reasons and don't add lies to the fray while doing it as well.

I've had SOMETHING on Xny, but unfortunately he got replaced by u. So right now, i'm left with a case against shoesandhast and leads here and there, but i cannot figure out something strong or something that isn;t utter bullshit.
Then tell us the utter bullshit. If you notice anything, you can start to pressure someone on it. Maybe not vote them, but ask, Pressure is how you make people slip and crack.
I never asked for a good case. Your suspicions list was like thirty words and required no shifting through the thread. Why couldn't you put that in the post from before?
Also, this post you just made was fairly large. I assume you are still at school/busy because it has no real 'strong attacks' which you appear to claim to be able to make.

Quote
-Snip- Points i have summed up against shoesandhats.
Beautiful. Other people have made these points, yes, but you still need to justify your vote. Voting someone without saying an argument simply because others have made one is usually bandwagoning; even if it is just a compilation of points from the thread, its important to explain your reasoning, so it can be attacked if necessary.

Quote
-snip-.
Actually, if you look at my first post, its half of my explanation for why ShoesandHats is scum. The second adds to this. As does the third. "
ShoesandHats: focusing one person with a very weak case, not fixing errors which they are called out on, "
It's not a completed, every-example-of-a-scumslip ever case, because he repeats the same mistake over and over.

First quote first. What i find amusing is how you unjustify the reasons, while the evidence is before you. You make it seem like  Like i've had no participation in creating those reasons at all, it seems like you are specifically cherry picking that what you want to see. Rest doesn't matter.

Now for quote 2: Here you mention that in your first post, you gave a variety of reasons why shoesandhats is scum. However if we look at post #191, we see nothing.... Now you could've have made a mistake, but if we look now at post #194. We see... One reason! During the course since that post, you claim reasons which were already mentioned before your arrival one by one. Until we came to this point where, you dismissed my existence of helping to obtain those reasons.
#191 has no reasons in it?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Of course the reasons where brought up before I arrived. That's how mafia works. Someone makes a slip, someone else notices, and they pressure the person on it. A new person joining the game doesn't make the scum-team suddenly make mistakes. What I did was instead explain my reasoning. If my reason for voting someone is going to be questioned, it won't hold up without reasoning.

Sometimes i can slack off slightly and post a quick answer, however this does not mean that i can write out a massive argument with quotations and all. Simply because i have work do as well during class.
Of course. You aren't my first suspicion, you are just reacting badly to my pressure. Wait until you have the time, and show us what else you have. Really, I just want to see your reasoned suspicion list and/or some pressure before day-end, because otherwise, if ShoesandHats flips town, you have no leads. And you're already the second highest on the lynching pole.

Here you ask me to reveal everything i have...again... how original. Didn't i like just do that? But for now il give you my suspicion list.

1. Shoesandhats for reasons stated.
2. Scottzar, reasons stated below.
3. Borno, low activity, doesn't post anything of value.
4. Rest, they make mistakes i guess or forgot to add variables.

Maybe your predecessor was better, cause you're doing all kinds of nasty things which town wouldn't.

You lie, You cherry-pick, you fake information , You harass people not for pressure, no, just harass them because they didn't do that what you would do. What do you have to say ? scum?
I don't lie. Anything in a quote box is either the truth or a -snip-. Care to provide some evidence of where I lie (don't say "the part where you said I (Mr.Zero) admitted to defending being a higher priority than scumhunting" because unless you bring new evidence to the table, my point still stands.)
It's true that I don't address people's entire posts. That's because entire posts are rarely incorrect. I don't say "no, I'm not putting pressure on you" when you accuse me of harassing someone who is short on time, because I am putting pressure on you. I can just quote myself, really, and say;
Quote
Because pressure doesn't magically go away because you're busy. It sits there, as a suspicion, until you have the time to address it.
Guess what you need to do? Hint: its not address my pressure. You are doing that fine. It's address the root of my pressure, i.e. your lack of scumhunting.
This being said, you are starting to show some scumhunting. Or, at least, the fact that you have suspicions and that they have some reasons.

As a side note: harassing people for no reason doesn't help scum. Making people angry at you makes them more likely to lynch you. I'm harassing you only in the sense that I keep refuting your points and shouting at you.

Mr.Zero: Do your suspicions change at all if ShoesandHats flips town? Are the people voting you now more or less suspicious?

Nerjin:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You say there is no real specific reason why you think they are bussing, just that they are both scum and happen to be attacking each other. Arguments for them being scum have been thrown all over the place, however, your argument for them bussing has no real support.
Why did you say that you think they are bussing if you aren't going to support the statement?
What did you hope to achieve by accusing them of this?

Okay, disregard that post where I said that my suspicions of Mr. Zero are waning. This recent post is just...
Blugh.
As Jim would say if that quote weren't totally out of context.

You lie, You cherry-pick, you fake information , You harass people not for pressure, no, just harass them because they didn't do that what you would do. What do you have to say ? scum?

Evidence. Quotes. Make an argument, don't just say "You're a big poopy head because you said something that I'm not going to bother to even reference!"

Creating an good attack would take far too long, it would require me to shift trough various posts, create more quote's, re-read, etc.
Thus i concluded that it wasn't worth my time, since i was short on it.

This is going to sound rather hypocritical of me because about 70% of the people here would call me lazy, but this is just too much. You're allowed to say that you're busy, but you have basically just said that you're too lazy to make a decent argument.

4. Rest, they make mistakes i guess or forgot to add variables.

Now this just sounds paranoid. I know everyone is a suspect, but there's got to be someone who you don't suspect. For example, I don't think Sottzar is scum. Even though I suspected xny, Scottzar is doing a good job of pointing things out and scumhunting.

Mr. Zero

Are you going to provide any evidence for any of the claims you make in that post, or are you just going to keep making baseless claims?

Because I was answering your question. as for evididence I don't think me re-stating it over and over is any help. I should have linked to it though I suppose. Can't do it now though. As for the evidence thing they seem to be throwing out enough new evidence, such as Mr. Zero's "I'm to busy to do good." post speak  for themselves but I do comment on them as neccesary.

Quote from: Nerjin
There are no interactions between the two that confirm this for me but they are relatively equal in suspicion for me. Mr. Zero for reasons I've stated time and time again and Shoes for his attempted buddying of me [it is buddying isn't it? Am I using the term wrong?] and his incredibly lazy reasoning on everything. As for direct contact between the two? I feel like Shoes may have been bussing but I cannot confirm this through any particular quote.

I was just throwing out a hypothesis to be honest. It is no more than that. What do I hope to achieve? Nothing honestly, I was just sharing a thought.

Unvoting for now.  I think it's funny how we went from ganging up on Mr.Zero to ShoesandHats, and I want to look into that a bit more.

This was several days ago. Thoughts about this since then?

Massive answers incoming. I forgot the order of it, so it may seem off.

You need to make sure your posts are well-formatted. It's impossible me to follow your quintuple post.

There are no interactions between the two that confirm this for me but they are relatively equal in suspicion for me. Mr. Zero for reasons I've stated time and time again and Shoes for his attempted buddying of me [it is buddying isn't it? Am I using the term wrong?] and his incredibly lazy reasoning on everything. As for direct contact between the two? I feel like Shoes may have been bussing but I cannot confirm this through any particular quote.

If he's buddying you, he's trying to get on your good side so that you avoid looking at him as a suspect. This can be done in a variety of ways, poorly and well done. Poor examples include straight-up flattery. Better examples include strongly agreeing with your case, even if your case isn't that good.

Keep an eye out for this sort of thing. The bad examples should be easy to spot. The better examples can be hard to differentiate between scum agreeing with you versus town agreeing with you.

Mr.Zero is under pressure, says he has some (not very good) scumtells, and only has limited time to post -> he posts to defend himself instead of aiding in the scumhunting -> Therefore, he prioritises defending himself over scumhunting.

This really isn't the crime you make it out to be.

I didn't say it was terrible, did I? It's not town behaviour though, and he looks like he might give in to pressure by the end of the day. If shoes flips town and he (Mr.Zero) has no other cases because he was too busy defending himself, where does that leave him?
More importantly, how would Shoes flipping town change your suspicion of Mr.Zero?


Hmmmm;
@ShoesandHats: you used to have a case about xny and Mr.Zero bussing each other. However, he wasn't voting you, and I am now, but apparently I am less suspicious.
Indeed, you haven't really posted any arguments for a long time, so Mr.Zero being scum and myself being town are the only things I know. Who do you think is scum other than Mr.Zero?
Can you provide a list of the players and how suspicious you find them?

I did ask for you to post your bullshit. About three real life days ago.

Giving into pressure in this case meaning 'facing the fact that he doesn't have any scumhunting to show for since the ShoesandHats slipups happening". Which, admittedly, is becoming less strong as you react to me.

I'll be honest, if Shoes flips town I won't have much of a case on anyone except for you. Although, borno has two posts of substance (i.e. longer than a single sentence saying he will post later.) in total, which is interesting.

Wow. Certainly is quiet today.

Captain Ford, Who is your second-most suspicious?

Right now, the only other person who stands out is Mr. Zero, just because of the sheer number of bizarre and nearly illegible posts he makes. But at the same time, it doesn't strike me as a particularly smart way for scum to behave.

I imagine a good chunk of my time will be spent going over his posts again, once we get to day 2.
