I was worried that Therion was watching and laughing, but he last logged in on the 20th. So you're correct, even if he is scum we should try to find the other one.
Why were you so eager to get dorf lynched at Day 1? Overeager, even. It reads like an exaggerated personal vendetta.
Did I really go after dorf too hard? He was a liar, he even tried to justify lying instead of denying it. I got mad and I'm sorry, but regardless my case was strong. Do you disagree?
On Day 2, you go on to lynch ExKirby due to... not doing his quote tags properly. Oh, and you went into straight-out lynching mode very, very early, perusing other people's arguments, too. This means you accuse him of using other people's arguments... while you are no better.
Haha, what?
Look at page 17 people:
1) Inteuniso made a strong case against ExKirby, accusing him of bandwaggoning without any real scumhunting.
2) GlyphGryph also makes a strong case, additionally accusing him of buddying with me. Which was true, he did.
3) You swing by and say "geee, those arguments look great, but I'm not going to support them with a vote because I don't want to look suspicious. Don't suspect me guys! Certainly don't expect me to help scumhunt, I'll just leave my vote on... someone..."
4) Akigagak votes me for inactivity, which was 100% understandable. Lurking is scummy!
5) I stop feeling depressed about Day 1 and start contributing again.
6) I agree with GlyphGryph and Inteuniso's arguments against ExKirby, so I find and quote evidence that supports them. ExKirby and I get into a back and forth.
7) Looking back, ExKirby's defence still looks scummy. He just tends to lurk, his buddying with me was a while ago, and then he makes unsupported attacks.
8 ) In addition to supporting the strong arguments against ExKirby, I feel like I should add an argument, so I complain about his confusing misuse of quote tags. They really did make things confusing.
In conclusion, "On Day 2, you go on to lynch ExKirby due to... not doing his quote tags properly." is completely incorrect. Why'd you say it?
What you pulled there is called a "Toony Tunnel", and is not pro-town. Unless it hits scum, which is a large gamble.
I've completed my defense, but I want to respond to this because it's a pet peeve of mine.
My strategy, whatever comic name you assign to it, was either good or bad *in the context of what I knew at the time*. I made arguments that are just as correct now as they were when I made them. Dorf and ExKirby acted scummy. I argued that they were the most scummy players at the time. This is all true.
For example, if I made a random vote today and happened to vote scum, that doesn't change the fact that I'm stupid for random voting.
Sorry, pet peeve.
Scumtells don't mean anything if you don't regard them with a bit of distance, which is not given if you bullcharge your target that much.
You call it scumhunting, but it is mob justice. Finding a "witch" and then lynching him/her no matter what.
"Bullcharging" sounds like applying pressure, which is scumhunting rule 1. I didn't lie, and I cited evidence for my claims.
I demonstrated that dorf was a liar. No one else provided such a strong argument in day 1. But I felt I was acting alone, so I waited for others to make arguments first in day 2. When I heard arguments I agreed with, I added my support. Support being citations and further arguments, not just a vote.
Day 3, you waste everyone's time with the highly sketchy idea of a "massclaim", which, in the form you gave us, has too many flaws to actually work. Time zones, unproven assumptions about the scum's role PMs, the fact it's close to impossible to get people to post at the same time, Therion lurking, and that the results are far from reliable in the very end.
At least I tried something, right? "Wasted people's time?" No one was posting! At all! Day 3, our most desperate hour, started two days ago and only now are you participating.
So, the whole game, you have been a liability at best, and only succeeded in lynching townies with extreme prejudice.
This leaves me convinced that you are scum, Rolan7, and you must die.
If I had been scum, I wouldn't have posted. Like you and therion. By your own logic you'd pass me over to scumhunt inteuniso and akigagak, right?
