Please find time to respond to my post.
Did you not understand his post? He asked for a replacement, and said he had not time to keep up with the game. You have no right to ask this of someone who isn't in the game anymore.
I have every right. Players asking for replacements have an obligation to continue playing to the best of their ability until such time as they are replaced. Notice Griffionday still playing. HE WAS STILL IN THE GAME. But since he is now replaced, respond to my post and all unanswered questions.
Hahaha... No you don't have the right, I'm an exception in that I'm trying to not disrupt the flow and explicitly stated that I'll still be around to answer questions. Note that I'm failing at that.
I still don't see what was confusing about IG's reads. They seemed rather straightforward to me.
This seemed straightforward?
Powderminer is activelurking from the look of it, but he is still asking good questions and actively trying to obtain information.
Town, leaning towards scum.
Yeah. As I read it he sees Powder Miner as town; however, on the scum side of the town spectrum. The second part qualifies the first, not replacing it.
Obviously every single contradiction a player can make isn't scummy. I'm not looking for those. But let's say Player X day one has a super aggressive playstyle and tends to ignore accusations against them. In day two however, he acts defensively, and only halfheartedly pursues targets. I would argue that that is a scummy change of playstyle. Also note the contradiction NQT did last Revolution. He played up analysis of teams and votes far more then actual discussion, but then mentioned a viable scum strategy "supposedly" to initiate such discussion. This slip up eventually led to the discovery that he was scum.
The first case I think is a fairly common sign of fatuige, which is more common in town than scum. As for the NQT thing, I think it was him failing to satisfactory answer questions that exposed him. A thought though: this would not have outed Nerjin, so your strategy is of limited utility. (Not that my tunneling is any better).
I heartily disagree. If the point was to leave RVS as quickly as possible, you wouldn't ask questions applicable to mafia. It may be good to leave the RVS phase quickly, but the point is to look for contradictions in what people say and do later in the game.
Uh, I totally would and do. The questions let you see into their mind as it relates to the game, this lets you decide which people to start actually pressuring. Finding contradictions between what someone says they will do and what they do is VERY different from finding contradictions in what they do from day to day, the latter of which is actually scummy.
Saying: "What is my post frequency?" is a bullshit way of getting someone to admit that you are not lurking. Prodding based on content you added to the game I could understand, but asking him to analyze the frequency of your posts seems needlessly defensive.
Wrong. Making someone explain that they are wrong is always better then explaining why someone is. This probably comes from the debater me though.
Asking him to analyze the frequency of my posts shouldn't of been a problem if he were telling the truth. He would of already looked at that before making the accusation of lurking. Only if he was lying about his motivation for voting me would my question make him do additional work.
I'm not saying explain to him why you aren't lurking, I'm saying only defending yourself based on posting frequency is stupid.
So you're saying one should do heavy research before voting for someone based on a case? I agree in theory, but in practice this means that votes like Nerjin's current one are going to be more common. I prefer having a case on the person you wish to lynch over leaving your pressure vote on someone who hasn't responded.
