There is more Wine in that one post than in the entirety of Kill Webadict Now's D1.
Never pre-defend yourself. It's just plain old anti-town. If you want to say something that you know will make us suspicious then just say it and ride the suspicions. Trying to stifle them early on does nothing but get the town drunk and the fact that we're so confused now is mostly because of the Wine already filling us up.
The reason why KWN had less Wine is because we decided to ignore most of it and just lynch off the hip. Note that the only real reason why D2 happened was because I was a Survivor and decided I'd rather drink some of it than play risky pro-town.
The point: the more wine you throw out, the more the town has to ignore your entire argument and go off instinct just to survive, since anything else poisons everything to death.
The short of all that: Most of your post, Mr.Person, is ignored. What's left is wishy washiness, a desire to take up both sides of the fence, and a wish to flood the town with babble than actually hunting for someone (you think Shadow is going to take a deep interest in ONE quick, VERY passive attack stuck in the middle of a mass of self-defense?)
Consider that a FoS with serious thought towards what my next moves will be.
You act like WIFOM is an ultimate evil. Well, it is bad, but it doesn't have to dominate things. I would say to ignore it, but the proper response would really be to read it, take your first instincts on the first pass, and go with that. Don't read into WIFOMy statements too much. "Oh, but that's what he wants me to think, I'd better read into the statement a whole lot!". You'll get nowhere with that, but sure, go ahead. I won't stop anyone from wasting their own time. Who knows, maybe somebody will figure out I'm town from reading into my WIFOMy statement.
Alright, look at it this way. If I was scum, why would I make the post? To WIFOM the town? Maybe, maybe, but realistically, so I could get away with not hammering Neruz. If I was town, I would post the WIFOM there to say something scummy that happens to be my thoughts, but mainly, I don't want to hammer Neruz. Thus, null tell, and in either case, I would want to make it as null-telliest as possible. Thus the WIFOM.
Now you've got an easy job: Determine if I don't want to hammer Neruz because I truly can't read him or because I have alterior motives. It's that easy. Wow, it's like you're... determining if I'm lying? Wow, it's like a regular game of mafia all over again!
Wait, how is pre-defending oneself scummy, exactly? Dakarian, you're blowing a little bit of null-tell WIFOM out of proportion. Good job mentioning it, bad job on trying to make me look scummy for it without getting aggressive at all.
Yes, I do expect SHAD0Wdump to take interest in my request (requests aren't attacks, mate). Why wouldn't I?
He said that people who don't vote for him are scummy.
Wat?
Seriously, this entire situation smacks so hard of scum really not wanting to hammer me for fear of drawing attention that i can almost taste it.
Which is a good point, btw, but I dunno why
you would bring that up. That's kinda what I meant, you're basically saying 'Lynch me or you'll look scummy", which is obviously false.
