Tiruin
Could you detail your thoughts on him?
You've played enough games with me now to know my style: I think how people vote tells you more about their alignment than how they comport themselves in the thread. DarkStar felt everyone was ganging up on him and stopped being productive, I've seen it happen to others in similar situations. He's not the best example of town play, but there's nothing that he's done that says he's definitely scum. We don't have a lot of wriggle room in this game, we need to be pretty damn sure we're getting things right.
Hmm... I know (but I can't expect everyone to take me at face value here) that one of Imiknorris or Tiruin is a loyalist, and the former can't go on missions unless everyone's sure he's a loyalist, and the only person who'd go along with a Tiruin lynch is Dark Star, so:
Tiruin
DarkStar

"Sketchy" my barnacled face. Your 'why would scum do that' ignores the fact that he was acting totally incompetant, and illogical!
Acting incompetently and illogically are not strong scum traits: town lost the last two Revolution games due to incompetent and illogical town players. DarkStar being a poor player isn't the same as DarkStar being scum.
By the way, first impressions dictated a defense reaction there--however I query that. Why do you believe Me over a UI? Anything else other than the vague orange statement (whom I wish to be detailed, thanks)?
The difficulty with this game mode is that you have to have support for your lynches otherwise scum will out-vote town on the missions. There's currently little support for putting Urist on a mission, whereas, one other player would like to see you dead. From my perspective you and UI are equally likely to be scum, so I should try my hardest to get one of you killed on the mission.
I note the 'and the only other', the significance of this wording stands out. Expound, preferably.
I meant what I said and no more than what I said: I want you to die on the mission and the only other person that feels this way is DarkStar. Everyone else wants DarkStar dead or hasn't said anything yet.
PS: If you have such an inclination against me, why do you not remark on my remarks on TDS?
Like, everything I said before this. I suppose I posted enough to be seen. >_>
You know I'm not going to pick over your arguments against DarkStar. Given the fact that town players often present themselves poorly in games, I don't think your arguments amount to a hill of beans and your frantic all-caps approach is unhelpful to a town victory.
I want you, NQT, to give a detailed and concise read between me and TheDarkStar instead of generalized adjectives. Because buddy, you sure are missing a lot--if there's any deviance or discrepancy with the symbolism I'm pushing, bring it up.
No. It's all chaff. The important things are what we've learned from our roles and from the flips and how people have voted. You're focusing on irrelevancies.
Now this. This is an example of how one blows off something.
In lack of you giving any kinds of details, you affirm one of my suspicions: That you fear to even speak. You haven't done so in the past-nor have you tried to detail at all. Where does the chaff blow when there is no wind to puff it?
The important things equal you picking me or UI, yet you
fail to detail either case. Sure, you handwave mine, but given the circumstances--I see you lacking. The common generalities on how you perceive 'bad play' and 'bad town' seem to mesh together in how you put them.
Sort out the differences.You've played enough games with me now to know my style: I think how people vote tells you more about their alignment than how they comport themselves in the thread. DarkStar felt everyone was ganging up on him and stopped being productive, I've seen it happen to others in similar situations.

We don't have a lot of wriggle room in this game, we need to be pretty damn sure we're getting things right.
Uh huh? So you think appealing to me knowing your play will help predict how I see you this game? I see myself as amorphous-thus I see everyone else, for the concept of equality to occur. You are apt to defend TDS, yet where do you do it?
but there's nothing that he's done that says he's definitely scum.
A generality? Oho, yes I agree there is little room for wriggling, but worms know where they lie, and they make themselves more evident the deeper they dig to hide themselves.
Since you're so astute in seeing TDS as non-scum, why don't you detail him out for blind ol' me? Hmm? If not me, then detail it out
for everyone else. You see he's up for the killing block;
I want to see you work on your words and not let them lie.Acting incompetently and illogically are not strong scum traits[...]
Indeed I agree, hence my reluctance earlier. But the part where our consistencies in logic lie are in
how they're played out. I agree that there is no perfect label for a scumtell, moreso a scum
trait, however I tell you once that I have told you evermore: It is in the
essence of the post that matters.
You seem to skim a lot on the superficial grounds, huh. Or perhaps I am only seeing the water's surface on your essence.
town lost the last two Revolution games due to incompetent and illogical town players. DarkStar being a poor player isn't the same as DarkStar being scum.
And this 'Revolution' game has some kind of rooting in this case...how? It's a generality. I can state the differences, but those lie on a whole other tangent.
You intrigue me, NQT.
The difficulty with this game mode is that you have to have support for your lynches otherwise scum will out-vote town on the missions. There's currently little support for putting Urist on a mission, whereas, one other player would like to see you dead. From my perspective you and UI are equally likely to be scum, so I should try my hardest to get one of you killed on the mission.
There is little support as nobody works onto UI. I have my alibi for that. What is yours, if you're so passionate about seeing either/or dead?
Now, about this statement--this seems to be the crux of your belief, as is the obvious notion, yes?
Does the orange part have any connection to how the lynch helps town? Next, 'on the mission' is quite a different wording than I'd expect. What I was thinking to see is "I'll try my damnest to get one of you lynched." What I do see is specifics: What's that last part about, buddy?I meant what I said and no more than what I said: I want you to die on the mission and the only other person that feels this way is DarkStar. Everyone else wants DarkStar dead or hasn't said anything yet.
They'll talk. Unless someone poisoned them.
You know I'm not going to pick over your arguments against DarkStar. Given the fact that town players often present themselves poorly in games, I don't think your arguments amount to a hill of beans and your frantic all-caps approach is unhelpful to a town victory.
Awww here comes the passive-aggressive train! Choo-choo~ Let's roll over logic and skim it on the tracks, shall we?
What preface are you presenting here? 'Given the
fact'? Fact?
I have never seen a fact on players presenting themselves poorly to be town. Doubly so when I explicitly say
town players. Judging by how you and TDS relate--either there is a bus going on, or you two really aren't aligned; and we're actually after the wrong dude.
Anyway, to the purple font, shall we? I see a blatant case of dismissal. My 'frantic' all-caps are for emphasis. Have they been truly replied to? Yes: In the way that I learned TDS has RL stuffs going on, but that
doesn't excuse his ignorance. Now, what catches my eye is how you easily blow off everything I said
as well as failing to give anything about TDS in the first place. I'd be open for a 'one or the other' argument, but you're staying off the tracks for both, refusing to talk about each while cutting it off as
irrelevant.Oh, and you didn't remark on them earlier-to give a tidbit.
tl;dr: Your generalization has no sense. "Tiruin's request for me to give details between her and TDS is irrelevant, and it doesn't help the town. TDS may be incompetent and illogical, but that doesn't mean he is scum."
In truth, you have answered my question--indirectly. I like seeing you squirm.
But back to facts:
No. It's all chaff. The important things are what we've learned from our roles and from the flips and how people have voted. You're focusing on irrelevancies.
What flips are there? I'll call you on your vote-meta here and say that sometimes, you are vulnerable to obvert generalization that you miss the subtle intricacies in
why a person votes.
But that's me speaking before your details.
What are your reads, NQT?
