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.
True. I referred to the IC's (and inteuniso) to show Akigigak that other people understood the plan. I kept bringing them up because Akigigak kept ignoring this, but I'm done trying to convince him.
Okay, everyone, you're all set on who you believe is the first scum. But, who do you believe is the second scum and why?
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.
You know what, I think I am reading to much into this. Particularly since you're being cool about it now. Why do we even need to choose the second scum today anyway, just because Webadict asked? I'm positive about Akigagak, only suspicious of you.
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.
That's fair. Of course I don't think you have a good case against me, but I was a bit too eager here.
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.
Eh... I've admitted it was a long shot. And yeah, it was practically impossible to execute properly. So okay it had a very slim chance of success.
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.
I think I really have shown Akigagak to be scum. We needed someone to step up and scumhunt. Yeah this got out of hand and really heated, but otherwise how would we know who to vote for tonight? Scum wins if we do nothing.
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.
brb Dinner, having to make a break here.
I agree excessive self-defense is scummy, but only when it's to the exclusion of scumhunting.
I was heavily involved with the previous lynches, and that's suspicious. My explanation is that I'm trying to keep the game going, and Dakarian made a post in day 2 saying scumhunters should always act completely certain and apply pressure. I think maybe I took that too literally. Notice that my latest case against Akigagak ignored his rabid cuss-fest, his overwhelming lists of completely baseless personal attacks. I started ignoring all that and instead am focusing on solid arguments, like whether he sabotaged a town plan without reason, is he lying about what SirBayer told him, is he refusing to admit to an obvious mistake. Instead of just saying he's acting scummy, which he certainly is, I'm demonstrating he's scum. With all respect, I think my case against him is stronger than your case against me.
You seem a little suspicious of webadict, and I agree. My first impulse was to trust him because he's an experienced player... which is clearly stupid.
He asks us who we think the second scum is. Seems innocent enough, except that our arguments are already out. I understand if he doesn't want to read them again, neither do I, but: what if he's trying to restart the arguing by asking us to repeat our arguments? See? Particularly he might have seen that you and I were calming down, and didn't want us cooperating like town should.
I don't know. I have a headache and I'm going geocaching. But I think the two scum are likely Akigagak and Webadict.
Fakedit: Wow, as I was typing:
Now, Errol, why did you ignore my comment? Why are you focusing so much on Rolan7? Is it because you win when he's lynched? I mean, can't you find another scum? Or is it taking all of your current scum ability to find it now?
I think he wants me to buddy with him against you, Errol.
