Toaster: ...what?
Solifuge:*sigh* I've addressed all this stuff before, but I guess I'm going to have to do it again. It feels like I've done this dozens of times.
Point A I have addressed in exhaustive detail. Scum had good reasons not to snuff on the first night. You did read that, right?
Regarding the No-Light on Day 1
I believe that the scum chose to not light a candle on day 1. Why?
1. If they lit one of their own candles, they'd expose themselves. Very risky, especially on the first day.
2. If they lit one of the town's candles, they'd be empowering their enemy. Sure, it might make them look scummy, but you can't count on that, especially if they gain a powerful pro-town ability.
3. If they don't light a candle on the first night, and do on the second, somebody might claim a roleblock or redirect on a townie. This strategy has come up in every game I've played, though it's not always used, in this case, it is the best choice.
When the scum chose to hide Ottofar's candle on the second night, and then light his green, they made it look like they'd lit two candles that night, and hoped they could use the confusion to hide Ottofar's alignment while getting a scum green lit.
Point B is hardly worth mentioning. EVERYONE was confused at that point. You can stand on your high horse and say we were dumb, but you
weren't there.
Point C is quoted very out of context. At the time, I was trying to help Vector pick targets for her inspect ability. I stand 100% by what I said at the time.
Point D is ... god. I hate you. The Moderator FUCKS UP and it's somehow
MY FAULT?!?I go through the effort to check for a tie because NOBODY'S EXTENDING and THERE WAS A VOTE RESET and NOBODY IS TALKING and I GET FUCKING BLAMED FOR IT when THE MODERATOR FUCKS UP THE VOTECOUNT and I end up CAUSING A TIE rather than BREAKING ONE through NO FAULT OF MY OWN.
IT would take you all of five minutes to verify this math on your own. But NOOOOO.
At the time I apologized, I thought the tie was my fault. It took me days to piece together what actually happened. Why? Because I didn't know where I'd made my mistake, and only in retrospect did I realize I was the last voter.
At the same time, I didn't much care because it mostly happened because EVERYONE ELSE WAS BEING LAZY ASSHOLES.
So yeah, go ahead and accuse the ONLY ONE who cared ABOUT PREVENTING A TIE. Nobody else GAVE A SHIT. Even after I WARNED THEM ABOUT VOTE MANIPULATION.
I SERIOUSLY HATE YOU ALL.
I tried. I tried. I fucking tried. I did everything I could to avoid a tie, but apparently that isn't enough. Apparently, trying to convince and corral everyone to not vote like FUCKING IDIOTS means that when the vote ties up, I'M the one at fault. Go look. It's all there. I tried. I tried. I tried.
I failed. You people are just impossible ...
Point E is something I expected to get challenged on a lot earlier. I spent a very, very long time thinking about the answer to that. I eventually concluded it was good based on this logic: "It must be good, because we want it"
I even said so, when Toaster asked me.
Seriously. None of these points are original, and they hurt. They really hurt.
I put in real effort an interest into this game, and when people couldn't even be bothered to put down an extend vote ... it REALLY hurt. On a personal level.
I felt very alone on those first few days as the only person who voted for an extend. I began being overly helpful, and clarifying things right away on things I anticipated being questioned on, resulting in a lot of that "trying too hard to appear town" feel, when it was really "I want to move the conversation forward faster because you people are not talking to me".
This has been easily the most frustrating experience of my life.
If you aren't it, then who is, and why?
Not Webadict. I've deduced that he's a town roleblocker. He used his action on both nights 5 and 6, and couldn't have been responsible for scum actions.
I'm not supposed to know that someone was roleblocked night 6, but Remuthra/Meph made a mistake, and oh well.
I know someone claimed being roleblocked on night 5, and I think it was ZU. It was Nerjin. I see.
I don't know who the last scum is, but I did expose Nerjin on scumhunting alone. I thought I did well ... *sigh*
I have a number of theories at this point, and there might not even be a third scum. There might be a doomspeaker, but if it's a doomspeaker then we just need to kill the scum. The game might also just be on a timer. It's also possible that ZU was the third scum (doubtful).
If there is a mafiakill, then snuffing the green candles WILL NOT stop them from taking actions and won't eliminate the threat to the town. Snuffing the whites is clearly the correct course of action.
