I'll get to you two eventually. I've been trying to but I've been occupied with playing Civ IV with my father.
Whu-really? You play Civ IV? So do I. I'll PM you about that.
Anyway, non-off-topic...
Unvote Leafsnail.
Right now, I'm calling it- scumteam is Lonewolf, Jim Groovester, and Bandages.
Why? Many reasons. To start with, see my recent (since near-end of D2) posts attacking Bandages and Lonewolf. (Ok, don't disregard those.)
Next, they've been distancing fairly regularly, with weak attacks that they back off of after a few posts. See examples starting here and here. In particular, Jim says Bandages is buddying me, then Jim goes on to buddy me all day today. It's been niggling at me that it's happening, but now I see it for what it is.
Oh, hey. Guess when this comes out? After Leafy points it out. Reactionism to the max, my toasty friend.
Here's the crux of the matter- they're all voting Person. How they voted him is telling as well. LW's first post of the day voted Person with no reasoning, and contained WIFOM with his conclusion that Jim was town. Jim's reasoning is Person being in on both D1 and D2 mislynches, and that he didn't vote right away (at mylo, no less.) Bandages' reasoning is entirely based on his assertion that LW is confirmed town, and Person was still voting him. Assuming LW's motivator claim is true, scum now holds 4 votes out of 9. That makes it lylo, not mylo. There's not a huge difference, but with that near-majority, all they have to do is split town a little bit, and they win the lynch and the game.
To win this, LW needs to hang today so scum can't give themselves an extra vote.
An interesting concept. A motivator in a scumteam. It all fits nicely.
Except for, y'know, the fact that that would completely break the setup.
If there are three scumbuckets and one of them is a motivator, then this setup is horribly, horribly broken. That's just ridiculous. You're assuming a shitty setup and I just can't accept that. Webadict does not make shitty setups.
On the other hand, I have very little in the way of leverage against your actual arguments. You may be on to something. I'll be paying a bit more attention to that side of the pond now.
Fuck you, Jim. You're a tunneling bastard and you're slowly starting to feel the pressure. You've been giving off scum-ass vibes all game and I'm glad someone else has noticed. Unvote Toaster.
Hey, look who's ignoring me!
Hello, scumface.
You ever gonna do anything?
Honestly, yes, he seems very scummy to me. However, I'm not sure where to fit him in my theory.
In any case, I just can't see Person as scum any more. With four total votes on him with your motivation, there's little chance of it breaking unless I can get everyone else to agree with me.
Oh hey, maybe it
doesn't fit in your theory? You've got to be somewhere between 33% and 66% wrong. I agree completely with the Lonewolf thing, but... gawsh.
I have to wonder just exactly what the fuck you think you are doing. Don't invite the obvscum to join your wagon. He might just oblige. Let him make that decision on his own, and then let him take the heat for it.
Exactly why I'm not voting you.
You're trying to bait me into something. Jim, I know for a fact that I'm not scum. I can't prove it to you because you have so much more experience than me, you're just going to turn anything I do into a scumtell. Whatever I'm doing, you're simply extolling as "scummy" and using it to crucify me in the eyes of the other less-experienced players.
You're the most diabolical kind of scum. If I wind up dying without being able to convince everyone of just how scummy you are, then I hope that you people will have the sense to listen to me and hang Jim next. I'm willing to stake my life on it.
So you're... not voting him because he'll turn it into a scumtell?
Oh God, this is a man breaking town. Fuck. Fuck me.
I understand your frustration, Joe, but turning around, ignoring it, and pretending like it isn't happening doesn't get you anywhere. You know how I handle it? I get mad. I get so furious that I
have to prove them wrong, and then I just attack with whatever's on hand. It works.
Try it instead of just sulking off.
So.
Unvote Jokerman-EXE. I've been wrong and I apologize. That said, I obviously need a new target.
And I'm thinking...
Leafsnail. This is a gut feeling sort of thing, and as I have shown above, I've very little evidence on the matter. I, however, have a few reasons.
1. The gut thing. Durh.
2. Coordination with Mr. Person's attacks. No, you're not saying the same thing, and no, I'm not convinced he's scum, but I'm not convinced he's not either. Furthermore, I get this feeling like you're dragging at Jim Groovester because he's been one of the big players in this game - one of the loud folks. You're trying to hit big, noisy targets.
2.5. Oh hey, upon review,
you're defending each other. Now ain't that interesting? Defending each other from a noisy player... wonder what you're trying to accomplish?
3. You've made a point of avoiding interaction with this fellow attacker of yours. There hasn't been any acknowledgement, even, that the other one is making advances. There hasn't been any discussion about this theoretical scumbucketitude, and I'm starting to think that you're purposely avoiding it.
4. Your insistence that Jim is "obvscum" despite the fact that you're trawling deep and interpreting more into it than an English professor into Catcher in the Rye. <(Terrible book.) I see a lot of arguments, but I don't see a lot of...
I was going to say I had some question about these arguments, but then I did some quick review, and changed my mind. Given that Ablacutter was putting off vague scumtells at the beginning, it's not so far-fetched that you've picked up a scum game here, Leafy.
