Dude, you're playing now, Mr. IC.  You no longer have the right to edit your posts.


Also, we need a new Town IC.  Hm... anyone want to shoot off a PM to ToonyMan or Leafsnail?

Uh... well, I suppose you can (if SirBayer doesn't mind).  The replacement hasn't officially taken place, I think.

In this case, Org would remain as town IC.

If you don't post, Inteuniso, you don't play, but if you're back and you're posting, you play.

Don't go absent.

And that's why I think Rolan is scum.

HE ISN'T READING, JUST POSTING.

An actual argument would be "IF ROLAN7 IS TOWN HE ISN'T READING, JUST POSTING.  SO INSTEAD I THINK HE'S SCUM IGNORING ARGUMENTS ON PURPOSE."
You're wrong, though.  I am town and I am reading, and recently I've cut back on posting (much to your chagrin).

I know SirBayer asked us to stop asking damn questions.  I'm just requesting a rules clarification, I believe I have a right.  Particularly since Akigagak already asked for and received the same clarification, probably.

*Why I think Akigagak is scum*
He claimed a role before claiming that scum had fluff roles. 

Assuming that he is town and that SirBayer did privately tell him that scum have fluff roles, there was still absolutely no reason to claim his role.  All it does is make him look scummy by vehemently opposing then sabotaging a plan which, as far as *anyone else* knew, would have provided town with information. 
If he is town then this was a terrible move, yet he has defended it at any turn.  Look, I even considered the possibility of him being a townie:
Akigagak, come on, we explained in detail how claiming the roles *all together* could help identify scum.  So you claimed all by yourself.  Ignoring me, webadict, org, and inteuniso, you claimed.

I'll explain this carefully in case you're really just ignorant and not scum (which is OK, really, but you shouldn't have claimed if you didn't understand what was happening):
This was a perfect opportunity for him, if he was a townie.  Admit that we were right, see that I was trying to help town, and then proceed to scumhunt.  Instead he escalated this into the infamous back-and-forth no one wants to read.

He is not this dumb.  He is scum.

Same thing worded differently. I can't really see the difference here.
A definition of "reading" and "posting" might be advantageous here. What are you meaning to say exactly?

This sounds like a "either me or him" situation all over again, even if he would have caved in. According to the way you presented the info, anyways. I know this isn't the truth, but one mishap - no matter how large - doesn't quite do it for me, especially in Beginner's Mafia. Prove the scummyness of Akigagak without reasonable doubt, and I'm going to be convinced.

There is an important difference.  Webadict asked us to explain why we each think the other is scum.  Instead of demonstrating that I was scum, Akigagak accused me of not reading the thread and posting too much.  A simple insult, which no one will blame Akigagak for, even if they know it's untrue. 
If Akigagak had instead built a case as Webadict wanted, and hinged that case upon the assumption that I was not reading the thread, then people would be much more suspicious of Akigagak if they disagreed with his assumption.

This is the second reason I believe he's scum: he's not trying to prove I'm scum, he's throwing out insult after insult without linking them together as a case.  He's doing this so he won't be held accountable.  He has to avoid accountability because he cannot make an infallible argument, because he's scum.

I gave him an opportunity to admit his mistake.  Even now he would be less suspicious if he admitted he made a mistake.  If he's town, there's no reason for him not to admit it.  If he's scum, it hurts his "Rolan7 is crazy" "case".  Thus he's scum.

As for the claim... well, I admit, that wasn't thought out by me, because it 'didn't matter.' I have no idea what Akigagak was doing at that point, though, or why he did what he did.

Why would you think it didn't matter?  Because Akigagak claimed that SirBayer told him in private that the fluff roles "weren't important", whatever that meant?  (Akigagak only later claimed that scum have fluff roles like town.)
If so, this implies a lot of faith in Akigagak, and a complete disregard for Pandarsenic, Webadict, and the chance to get town some information.

I demand to know why you ignored the three of us and claimed, if it "didn't matter".
I'm sure you aren't ignoring this, Errol.  That would make you a hypocrite.

Errol, for buddying with Akigagak.  After Akigagak made his stupid roleclaim, Errol essentially came to his defense by roleclaiming as well.  He's also supported Akigagak's mistake by ridiculing my plan.  More recently he's expressed willingness to forgive Akigagak for "one mishap - no matter how large". (all I ever wanted was for Akigagak to *admit to* the mishap).
Despite offering this "get out of lynch free" card to Akigagak, he once again votes me without explanation.  His last argument against me (beyond generally name-calling) was me "buddying" with inteuniso, which is ironic given his relationship with Akigagak.

Before inteuniso went AWOL, he tried to organize the mass-claim.  At that time Errol and Akigagak were actively lurking while Inteuniso and I tried to do the mass-claim.  The mass-claim was apparently *so unimportant* that they started posting again just to sabotage it and call me stupid for being involved. 

Thus I think Errol and Akigagak are both scum.  The least scummy thing they've done is attack me relentlessly for trying to help.

No, I overlooked it :X Sorry about that.

I thought it didn't matter because Akigagak already sabotaged the plan, which robbed it of whatever chance it still had. Not that I was optimistic about the whole thing, but I stated my opinion already. That is, it was neither practical nor had it a good chance to work.

By the way, you should probably not rely on the ICs too much. In the end, it's our game, and only the players decide what happens. And ICs are people too, they might just be wrong. For anything further, refer to the idea/execution differentiation.

Errol, for buddying with Akigagak.  After Akigagak made his stupid roleclaim, Errol essentially came to his defense by roleclaiming as well.

You might be reading too much into this... I put no thought in that action, which, in retrospect, was really stupid.

He's also supported Akigagak's mistake by ridiculing my plan.  More recently he's expressed willingness to forgive Akigagak for "one mishap - no matter how large".

That's my general policy. We're in Beginner's Mafia, so you get exactly one chance. Before you try to apply this yourself, you pulled your highly questionable tactics Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3. That's not exactly one failed chance.

(all I ever wanted was for Akigagak to *admit to* the mishap).

Unrelated.

Despite offering this "get out of lynch free" card to Akigagak, he once again votes me without explanation.  His last argument against me (beyond generally name-calling) was me "buddying" with inteuniso, which is ironic given his relationship with Akigagak.

This was mainly for SirBayers votecount. The last time I changed my vote was to vote you, and I see no real reason to change it, nor do I see a more scummy target. And, until that, my vote stays.

Before inteuniso went AWOL, he tried to organize the mass-claim.  At that time Errol and Akigagak were actively lurking while Inteuniso and I tried to do the mass-claim.  The mass-claim was apparently *so unimportant* that they started posting again just to sabotage it and call me stupid for being involved.

Being involved - or trying to push the thing through? That's two different things. Much like Akigagak never admitted that his individual claim was the single worst thing he did you never - or too late, after stubbornly insisting some time - admitted your plan was, basically, retarded, in terms of execution.

Thus I think Errol and Akigagak are both scum.  The least scummy thing they've done is attack me relentlessly for trying to help.

You helped as much as me, or Akigagak. Which is, not very much. All what we did was riling each other up.


Now, lemme make my case. At the moment, it is most likely that Rolan7 is scum. He doesn't listen to arguments or listens to the exact wrong passages, pulling them out of context, tried to push a lynch through every day so far, with great recklessness. Day 1, you had a slapfight with dorf just like today. Difference is you actually were more sensible then, didn't defend quite as much, and you didn't grasp at straws, which is what most of your arguments are consisting of at this point. It's almost as if you are struggling for arguments. Like scum.
Day 2 you jumped on the ExKirby-wagon at a rather late point (I admit that I did that too), and only surfaced after being voted for. Then you destroyed every single chance ExKirby might have used for proving his town-ness, not only by getting on rather late, but by virtue of brutalness of attack, like you always do.
 tl;dr: Your method of scumhunting is mainly consisting of getting your target lynched, not getting scum lynched. This is an indication
The second place was originally Therion, now replaced by webadict, whom everyone seems to assume as town. However, web stays on the sidelines. There might be a reason for this, but for now, I'll assume the worst.
Alternatively, Akigagak might be scum. If he slips up again, we can be certain, but at the moment, it's just a possibility.
