First order of business: Assist.
I've looked over the evidence, and Soli is in the middle ground. He got my vote for being too eager to go into the ring, and he hasn't done anything to sway me that he is truly town.
This post reads to me as one giant appeal to emotion- and other posts of his dabble in it. Org... I can hardly read. His actual contributions are low-rent, and
this post is a vague threat to the town that comes when he's under pressure. Given the options, I think the best bet is to help neither of them.
No assist.
Next up: Focus for the next day.
Lonewolf:
Solifuge and Ottofar - Why shouldn't we pit our two most likely lurky players together in the first round for a nice, cathartic duel to the death?
Toaster - We were the only two players to resort to hex, and we both picked the exact same color. Imagine the odds.
I shall make mine a bit darker. Keep your "Garnet".
Unvote Ottofar
Solifuge - Pics of your kitten or you get to risk your life in the arena. I love kitties. :-P
JetSquirrel - Have you never read through any games Vector played? I find it hard to believe that you're only now figuring this out.
Since i admit i suck in mafia games now (played 2 games Begginer magia 1 and wizard duel 1) i cannot make proper decisions and badnwagoning people gets you in trouble most of the time. so i voted for her? to look how she and other people would react towards me. and thats all i can think off
Covering excuses for poor play amidst your reaction to her gender could be interpreted as a primer intended to cause us to subconciously forgive your mistakes ahead of time. Why shouldn't I interpret it that way?
so i voted for her?
Why the question mark? It's a statement of fact. Why would you be questioning your own actions? Are you afraid you attacked the wrong person, since Jim called you out on it?
These are your only two posts of Day 1. In the first, you RV Solifuge and Ottofar with a question. Ottofar never answers you, and yet you drop your vote on him. Wanting to use your vote elsewhere is fine, but you completely drop your question to Ottofar. If you don't care about following up, it tells the world that you don't really care about your question. Therefore, either your scumhunting has no teeth or you already know his alignment (ergo you are scum.)
Assist Org with a defensive earthen barrier.
Neither Org nor Solifuge is striking me as scummy, and I see more value in this first battle in watching where the assists fall and in what order, and analyzing them afterwards. I choose to go along with Org's claim mainly out of curiosity.
This just bugs me. If you don't think of either one as scum, why work to condemn one? You aren't required to assist. (See note later)
I don't think anyone is scum at this point, and both Solifuge and Org have a tendency to not be useful.
I'll pick my attack on Jetsquirrel back up when the next vote stage starts, assuming no one else (looking at you, Vector) does anything suspicious during assists.
Lonewolf I, why not pick up your attack on Jetsquirrel now? There's no gap in discussion, and since you're not waiting to see what the results of the duel are going to be there's no reason to wait until the next Vote Phase to start.
Well, I was going to wait because I felt that scumhunting in the assist phase should focus on those going into the battle and anyone who makes controversial assists. If Jetsquirrel does not provide an excellent reason for not assisting, however, he will enter the latter category and come back up to the top of my priorities.
Lazy. Unsubstantiated attack on Vector. Unwillingness to commit.
Is it necessary for the doc to protect? For the cop to inspect?
Your assist is a tool to hunt scum, to defend those you don't believe are scum, or simply to test the waters in an effort to find someone's affinity. Not using it is usually, if not always, a waste of potential data.
Now quit stalling for time and give a complete explanation of your reasoning behind this action. A gut feeling, or lack of one, isn't going to cut it.
Now you're just looking for excuses. I find it ironic that you would accuse someone of stalling here when you admitted not long before you were waiting for events to unfold (AKA let others do scumhunting for you).
Get your battle wand out, scum.
