Deathsword. I'm seriously disappointed in you now, in you as a player and in you as an 'example of how to play', which is what I believed an IC would act as.
You're acting like you have this 'right to lurk', and you absolutely don't.
Just look at your posts on
lurker - This whole game you've only made 11. I double checked them all; two of the 11 have been only use of IC voice, and including those, 5 of them have had nothing I can recognize in any fashion as scumhunting. I'm being really generous in this assessment. Anything resembling a question, anything resembling analysis; anything more than answering questions, apologies, or IC voice I'm calling 'scumhunting' - it doesn't seem to be a joke, and even if it is, I'm calling it garbage. Your activity and effort in this game, at least inside this thread, has been poor and steadily getting worse. I'm calling you on it.

Last week you posted -once-. And that post contained NO scumhunting.
I am sorry for disappearing for the last two D1 days
We don't need apologies from you. If you're Town we need help. If you're a rolemodel, Town or not, we need an example of good play, which you are NOT giving us.
Now, last BM, you were Scum IC. Presuming you -are- both Deathsword and Scumsword,
in private chat those lucky scums got the benefit of 36 of your posts in just 39 days. And here's what one of them says:
DO NOT, this is important, DO NOT speculate on night events. Focus on day and the day only. If someone starts speculating on the night, call them out on WIFOM. If they freak out, put pressure on them, ask why they got nervous. If not, just scumhunt as usual.
Why, and for that matter, how dare you coddle your Scum that game with protective and helpful advice, and give us filth, with your IC voice, no less? In the ongoing Witches Coven, the lack of a N1 kill got brief discussion. The two N2 kills got discussion. It's not the only thing being discussed by any means, but it's certainly not a taboo topic.
Night kills, even N1 kills, get some attention in Supernatural 1, 2 and 5. Supernatural 3 and 4 discusses the lack of night kills (and 4 talks more about the ressurection of the D1 lynch). Point being, players that look more experienced than us talk about night kills, or the lack of them, if they see reason to. And -Scumsword-... aka Deathsword, are you not?... saw fit to explicitly and strongly warn his Scum off of talking about their night kill, "
DO NOT, this is important, DO NOT" and instructed them to attack and stop anyone who speculated about it. Why? Because this is very dangerous for the Scum, who are the only players in the game who don't have to guess why and what the thought processes are? And you dare try to use your IC voice to take away our belief in our freedom to talk about it like the more experienced players do should we choose?
Two BMs ago, you were IC and scum, and you lurked there too. Got sick there too.
I'm currently very sick, I'll get another post with non-IC content tonight.
I'm really sorry your health's so bad you've gotten seriously sick twice in the same year. Even without being sick people called for prods on you and complained about your inactivity.
{I won't be able to get that post out after all.}
Even there, as Scum, you're making excuses in your IC voice. I didn't distrust your IC voice, but I do now, as I do everything else about you. From what I see, your play is tainted. You're treating the game itself with disrespect and disregard. I know all about being busy - I work 40 hours a week and am going to school almost full time. I work in a lab now and didn't get home until after 10 PM because we have an inspection tomorrow. Life's tough for everyone, yet you play game after game with garbage... oh, but you find or make time for your Scum when you were Scum IC. Shame on you, giving -this game- so little. Do better or die in this game, Deathsword.
Now lets talk about votes, since you disapprove so much of how I currently use mine.
Imp: If you got nothing better to do with your vote, as you claim here:
Rolepgeek, I've got this vote and no better use for it right now. If you're dead there's no need to replace your spot; and from close to start of play you've not really done much that seems pro-Town to me. Your behavior isn't that bad of a Scum cover either. I'm far from sure you're Scum but I'm far from sure you're Town either, so for the moment this works for me. As long as you're seeking replacement I'm not going to ask you anything.
Then why not use it to pressure someone who can actually answer you? It seems as if you want to vote someone but don't really care who, and Rolepgeek provides a nice, safe target.
The only way you can make that claim about how I use my vote, and how I use pressure, is to disregard how I have played this game so far. Considering how -you- have played this game so far, I'm not surprised at you at all.I -am- using it on someone who -can- actually answer me. But how are you using yours?
You're not really scumhunting with your vote on me, because you're not really working or thinking, you're either just randomly pushing - taking the easy out that you accuse me of - or you're actively trying to control how I use my vote. Shame on you for either, you IC jerk. My vote is -mine-. The pressure I place is -mine- to use as I see fit, be that pressure with words gentle, harsh, or supported at the time or later with a vote. Get into this game and play, be the role model and player in this game that you are supposed to be, or die here for your failings.
Oh, hi there,
Rolepgeek. So...
That's an extremely poor idea. Until I'm replaced, I am going to continue to play to the best of my ability.
Is how you have been playing 'to the best of your ability'?
No...no, no, shit, I can't do it. I can't get the time and I'm getting too emotional to play. Well, that, and I can't get into the right mindset. I can't look deeply into posts, all I can do is stare at them. It's frustrating. I'm gonna have to ask for a replacement, sorry guys. Should have done this a while ago. I'll still answer questions and such, I just...I can't work up the motivation. Sorry.
This is the best of your ability? Your end of D1 post, more evidence of the best of your ability?
I don't have school tomorrow. HOWEVER, turns out I don't have extra time to do stuff, because I still have to get up at the same time.
Sorry. >.> Not planned.
You keep telling us stuff like this -
Alright. I dislike having to do this again, but I can't do anything today, really, because I've been dealing with a lot of drama. Tomorrow I hope to be able to do a nice large post with the various things I want to say on it.
And internet will shut off soon, so I need to cut this post short, though there may be a follow up.
Alright, well, as a stopgap measure I'm gonna try to answer questions at the least on my IPad.
Gah. Sorry. I have like two minutes to do this. I got a girlfriend. >.> I really wish I could respond, but when I say two minutes, I mean my internet will shut down in two minutes, and I'd rather not give hasty answers, and I'd rather not not post. I'll vote for an extend, too.
Now, this is your weekend too. You've essentially told us you have drama issues, time issues, distraction in the form of new girlfriend issues - heck, you probably have other issues you're not bothering to mention, I know I do. Relaxing and doing what you please is a big part of handling stress.
I figured, as I'm answering everyone else, lets make sure I didn't miss anything from you, so I checked your recent posts to be sure.
Dang! 32 posts elsewhere since you last posted here. One of them impressive things has over 1000 words in it. Are you surely sure you mean what you say when you say stuff like "Tomorrow I hope to be able to do a nice large post with the various things I want to say on it."[/spoiler]
I know what you've been showing all game. And you still find time to play elsewhere, post dozens of posts in other DF threads in the last couple of days... Oh you have focus and you have self control, you just -won't- use it for this game now. Maybe cause you're Scum. For sure Scum can just skate through this game, and that's the kind of crud you're doing. You're acting like Scum. You have pages of posts to somehow manage to read, you have this entire game that you signed up for to play. Do it. Right now it seems pointless to question you - you're claiming you can't even read the thread. Play, or die here. You've got total control over your own behavior.
I'm really sorry I haven't been posting more, but I'm still mulling things over, and I have to leave for school in a few minutes.
Squill...
I'm really sorry I haven't been posting more, but I'm still mulling things over, and I have to leave for school in a few minutes.
...That's alright. There's no rush for -anyone- to post at any specific time or day. It's overall patterns. Patterns of play and attention and involvement and intention... especially intention, that's maybe the truest way to find the Scum? It seems to be how Scum have been found, and why they haven't been found, in some of the other games.
Superblackcat: What's your take on all this? The whole of it or little pieces of it, whatever you think is most important? You, among others in this game, you've been to a D2 before. What are we supposed to be doing now, and how? Are you doing the best scumhunting you can?
To
everyone.... You can't all be Scum. Most of us have to be Town. Town needs each Townperson's help or Town's probably gonna be lost. This is our packing room 53. Don't lurk. Don't coast. You joined this game to play - play.
