And now, to webadict.
I may be going for easy lynches, but so are you. In fact, I'm the easiest lynch of the game. I have played half a game of mafia, in person, and that was it. Why do you think my posts sound so damnably confused? I am confused. I can't figure out what's going on, and I have people trying to kill me and defend me right, left, and center. What we have here is the strongest player of the game attacking the weakest player, without taking into consideration that the learning curve of forum mafia is particularly steep.
Why are you not going for more difficult people? ToonyMan, dakarian, and Free Beer are going to be far more challenging than myself, and you haven't even really nudged them. You may say that is because they have done nothing suspicious, but a more experienced player is going to be dropping fewer clues. Everyone in this game is spewing information. Surely somewhere in all that mess you can see something, even if I'm entirely blind to it.
Don't assume doctors, because they might not exist. You might certainly die, because you're a pain in the neck to deal with and kind of scary with your tendency to "instructive insults." Though you are saying dakarian is the most logical choice due to his analytical posts, that doesn't really make sense. You already stated that you were prone to walls of text as well, but other people don't like them. This means that you are capable of the same analytical spewage as dakarian, but you are hiding it from everyone with this flimsy excuse of PR. However, it is evident that you don't care that much about what other people think of you, given your predilection for personal attacks on other people. Your excuse is gone, and you're simply hiding behind a purported care for others' sentiments.
I was not the one who said everyone who lynched Org was suspicious and that there was no reason to. Do not conflate me with ToonyMan. I have even explicitly said that I trust dakarian--so again, we have the situation where you are either lying or can't remember what was said two pages ago. Given your memory of other events, I am forced to think that you are lying.
This is the most half-assed "going for eduren" I can imagine, in fact. I said this explicitly: "I am voting for eduren while I get myself combobulated." Currently, I am gunning for you. I am certain you can see the difference.
Next, you have a tendency to ignore people's questions. You don't get called on it, because you're Fortress Webadict, the Man of Crazy Tells. Well, perhaps you should answer them. There are several instances of this, and I don't see why you should be exempt from answering others' queries when everyone else is constantly forced to step up to yours.
I will also submit here that ToonyMan is getting away with FoS'ing four people simultaneously, where you are blaming me for voting one and FoS'ing another. Interesting--so the behavior is fine in Toony, but not in me? Furthermore, now you're accusing three people of being scum: myself, Jim Groovester, and dakarian. Would you mind picking and choosing some, rather than randomly flailing all over the place?
Then, you are accusing me of "trying to appear like I am scumhunting." No. I am trying to scumhunt. I pressured Org not because Org hadn't explained his reasoning, but because Org had not contributed anything to the dialogue--as I keep on saying. If I were attacking Org for failing to explain his reasoning, I would have tried to do the same to ToonyMan. You may note, however, that I didn't do so. Yes, I lurker-hunted. So did Jim Groovester, and yet for some reason you aren't jumping all over him and trying to eat him.
"This is the same. It's just a bad thing in general to ask. And then he generalizes the question. He's still NOT focusing. He's being as broad as he possibly can to avoid suspicion."
--Referring, of course, to my question to eduren and Org. I actually don't understand why this is a bad thing to ask. If you don't like the question, then perhaps you should have answered my query at the very beginning of the game--that being "How do I know the difference between a good question and a bad question?" No one answered, so of course I'm asking questions you think are dumb.
That three-way question was a final attempt to get more information out of the three potential lynchees. Pitting them against each other seemed like a good thing to do, though I suppose that in your book it isn't. Also, it makes sense that I added ToonyMan to the table, no? If I didn't add him and he ended up being scum, you would have tried to ream me for letting him slip by. Now you're trying to attack me because I added him. It seems that I would be attacked either way; once again you're probing me with yesterday's question, just wrapped up with a bow this time around.
No, the point is not that everyone else has to prove they're not mafia. The point is that I was going to say you had provided me with an unprovable conundrum (which I know know is called Burden of Proof), and then various other people showed up and said that you were being unreasonable. If I made a similar statement, you would be able to attack me for failing to come up with original material. If I said "I am scum-hunting and forcing people to actually show up for the game with useful information," you will tell me I am going for the easy targets. Someone has to do it. Everyone needs to be attacked at some point, and no one wants to be left with the burden of having "gone for the easy lynches." If I get lynched for attacking lurkers but you manage to find the scum there, it will have been worth it.
I didn't say I "just went along with lynching Org." What I said was that "Org was suspiciously silent." If you need me to blatantly say "I suspect Org, the silent one," then I can do that. I thought my voting was enough to say that I wanted him lynched and effectively express my opinion. If that's not enough, than what is? No, I didn't push that hard for Org. Surprisingly, I actually care about what other people think, and value their judgments. I'm playing this game to learn, and I can't do that if I'm trying to bowl everyone else over. So, I will say it even more explicitly: I wanted Org lynched. I made a mistake in my judgment and opinion, and probably should have listened to ToonyMan. Instead, I stuck to my guns. I was incorrect about him, and that's unfortunate.
Is that enough defense and attack for you, or do you require even more?
Unvote. Webadict.
