Tiruin:Yeah. You voted him. That kills people, Tiruin.
{I don't get the reference...except for that one top rated comment...}
Oh, it was very simple. I was just quoting a line from the video. "Carl, that kills people!" = "That kills people, Tiruin".
The link should have sent you to exactly that point in the video.
I suppose that's yet another thing that flew over your head.
First of all,
Unvote. I believe I have finally figured out where you're coming from.
I never really had a case on you. I was confused about what you were doing, so I decided to push and see what happened. I'm now satisfied with what I've found.
I was saying that you may have been the Doctor, and are stating such in that one post so as to make a bold distraction.
I've been trying not to poke at your english, but this time I think I have to.
You said: "I was saying that you may have been the Doctor, and are stating such in that one post so as to make a bold distraction."
An equivalent phrase is: "I was saying that you may have been the Doctor, and you also said you were the doctor in that one post so as to make a bold distraction."
Can you see how that would cause me to be confused? I never claimed I was a doctor.
I think you meant: "I was saying that you may have been the Doctor, and said those things in that one post so as to make a bold distraction."
I'm going to assume that's what you meant.
OH! I actually get that.
I never actually considered that possibility because I found it to be absurd. I've been so certain the NK would be aimed at me, I figured that if I were the doctor, I'd be dead right now.
Okay, I think I see where you're coming from now. When I start considering the possibility of me being the doctor, I have to start considering the possibility that someone else was the NK target. Even if I wasn't the doctor, that's still a possibility.
Well, here, maybe I can finally put this issue to rest then:
...I did not expect to survive the night. But man does it feel good to be wrong!
We have a Doctor in the house!
I'm not going to pretend that nailing ReDeadEr was anything but luck. But it feels good anyway. Not so hopeless anymore, is it?
At this point, the doctor shouldn't claim. I just want to throw that out there right away. We're still going to need you, fella. But I'd like to give you a big thank you for saving my butt last night!
Captain Ford: Can you explain how you came up with this?
Okay, line by line, now.
...I did not expect to survive the night. But man does it feel good to be wrong!
I didn't expect to survive the night. I expected to be night killed. It was a very disappointing thing to happen immediately after I lynched scum, which was really exciting!
When I didn't die that night, I was really surprised and excited.
We have a Doctor in the house!
I believed we had a doctor in the house.
Now, I know this is a HUGE leap of logic for you, but...
IF, as the first sentence says, I expected to die last night, then it logically follows that I was saved by a doctor's protect.
Yes, there are other explanations. But it's the simplest one possible. It doesn't require anyone to take any risks or make any bad choices. It doesn't require the 20% chance of fraxert being scum, or the remote possibility of a bandit completely missing the 24 hour window to post their action, or for a bandit to take a gamble with a very low chance to pay off.
Now, if that isn't good enough, explain to me what is wrong with that reasoning.
I'm not going to pretend that nailing ReDeadEr was anything but luck. But it feels good anyway. Not so hopeless anymore, is it?
I had no idea ReDeadEr was scum. I thought he was the doctor. This is the truth.
In particular, I thought this might explain my behavior towards him. The reason why I pressed him so hard and then unvoted him without a good explanation. I really didn't know he was scum. I only voted him because of his low activity. This means I got lucky.
The second part, about it feeling good, is the truth. It feels great!
Day 2 was depressing,
Nerjin even posted that he was worried about people getting discouraged. I felt the mood of the game had been uplifted. I was celebrating that.
It felt good, and I was reveling in it. Because it felt good. That is actually logical.
At this point, the doctor shouldn't claim. I just want to throw that out there right away.
This is so straightforward I can only call you an idiot for questioning it.
We're still going to need you, fella. But I'd like to give you a big thank you for saving my butt last night!
Again, this is me being excited. IronyOwl is correct that I am being friendly toward the doctor. I understand the point you and IronyOwl are making about it, and I understood it at the time.
That post was a bold move. I made it because I was confident about how things would turn out. I did it exactly because it limits my options in the future. I made a commitment that I wasn't going to back down from.

Now maybe you want to know my motives. You have never, ever asked about them, but I suspect that's what you've been trying to get at this whole time.
I did it because people were already going to suspect I was town. I addressed the questions that were on everyone's mind, and said, "Yes, I saw that too, and yes, I think it was a doctor protect too, and yes, this game just got a lot more interesting, and yes, I am excited about it, especially after how depressing day 2 was."
I see the point you're making, and it's bunk. I did this specifically because it might look scummy. I'm not afraid. If you lynch me, we still won't lose outright.
I did it to save us time and energy. I did it to maximize the potential benefit to the town. And I did it in the hopes that if I was lynched, it might draw out the actual scum.

Now Tiruin, if this somehow doesn't answer your question, give me an example of what you're looking for. That's all I'm asking for. It isn't that hard.
