Mmm, fair point. I've kept putting it off because I don't want to re-write everything all over again, but I'll have to do it at some stage and I have a free hour anyway. It'll be a good deal shorter than what I'd originally planned, though; I'm not in the same mood for writing that I was in at the time.
Then there's the USEC vs AzureSepulchre war.
Heh, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a
war. T'was a skirmish at best - if even
that, considering the majority of the questions I had for USEC in particular shall now forever go unanswered. Ah, well... perhaps the replacement shall be more sporting.
I won't go too in depth on this right now cos I'm tight for time, but basically, I see it like this - USEC's statement of intent was to try and become a better scumhunter this game. Here, this story checks out and makes sense. Azure's, on the other hand, doesn't. I can't really put my finger on it, but the defensive/aggressive balance of his replies don't sit well with me.
I must say, you rather confounded me with this one; in particular, because I'm not entirely sure how to respond to an attack on my 'defensive/aggressive balance'. Are you implying that my posts come across as bi-polar, or are you stating outright that I'm getting apparently angry over meaningless trivialities and dismiss important points? I remember Broody saying something quite similar during the course of my spat with USEC, but that just confuses me even further; mainly because I can't see what it is you both are hinting at. Ergo, if you would be kind enough to give me a few examples of what you are referring to, I would appreciate it.
That, and his focus and intent on making replies in the first place, reminds me of... well, me, when I was scum in BM14 trying to defend from webadict. For that, Azure gets a middling FoS, but I need to do more digging here.
On the other hand, I found this more flattering than anything else - predominantly because I intent to become a part-time writer when I have finished with university, and I take some small measure of pride in the amount of effort I attempt to put into everything I put to Word. Even if I haven't written anything of real note since I began university. I really should start again... >.>
...err, anyway, thanks for the back-handed compliment, I guess. Unless it was something more specific you were referring to?
Azure: I know you intend to answer my FoS - in addition to this, are you surprised the deceased of yesterday/yesternight flipping town?
For Broody... I'm kind of confused by why he was targeted, to tell the truth. Obviously, I was shocked by the discovery he was the doc and pretty bloody irritated that the scum got lucky enough to get him on the first night, but he came across as too relaxed to be much of a threat. Bayer was the one I suspected would die, or perhaps myself if I was right about Jet. Broody, though? Not a strong kill. I think it was most likely noob maf who got spooked by his many FOS's and wanted him gone before he found them, but even that doesn't make sense when Bayer is the larger scum-hunting threat. I dunno...
For Jet... the fact that he's flipped town was a sharp reminder that this really is a beginner's game, which means that even though the scum are more than likely complete beginners, it doesn't mean they can't blend in easily in a
beginner's game (yeah, yeah, durp durp, I know...
); something I suspected would happen earlier in the game, but forgot about when Jet made his pseudo-scum-tell post. Ergo, while USEC seemed pretty obviously scum at the time (exactly like Jet did), I'm more than likely wrong about him just because he was a beginner. Like I've said, I'll need to observe his replacement more carefully than I did USEC - not to mention the rest of you. Bayer I consider safer than most, since he was right about Jet. But if his reputation is anything to go on, he's usually a far fiercer player than this. Whether this implies that he usually get's drafted into scum roles or actually is scum in this game, I'm not sure.
Now then... may as well make a few questions of my own before I head off for RP...
Scatter: Your own announcement that you are town raised hairs initially, but you appear to have taken on a similar laid-back role to Broody. You also seem highly critical of Bayer, but I'm curious: are you criticizing his methods in general, or are you more interested in how differently he seems to be playing this game compared to how he's known for scum-hunting? Do you think he was lucky in correctly dismissing Jet as a town role, or could there be method to the madness?
Spade: Like Jet, you drifted to and fro during the final stages of the voting process, settling only on people who could be lynched and backing up your attacks with nothing but a flimsy reiteration of other peoples deductions. Why were you so eager for a lynch? What
really made you settle on Jet?
Agikagak (...I think that's how it's spelled. >.>): Where are you? What are your thoughts on how day 1/night 1 ended? Who is your major FOS for day 2, if anyone? I also asked you a question quite some time ago; I would like to have it answered before I elevate your FOS level to blue. Just because Bayer cleared you doesn't mean the rest of us will ignore you.
