Good lord, this thread is really really active. That's awesome but sheesh now I have to catch up on over 40 posts and try to avoid parroting people in the process.
Anyway, I promised, and therefore I deliver. Would've posted earlier today but I was werkin'.
Anyway, about the allegations of me being lurky and passive, well, I can't dispute that a bit, but I can try to do better from here on out. May have to bear with me here, as this game actually feels more complicated than Paranormal for some reason, haha. Sometimes all I see are massive, impenetrable walls of text and reasoning (moonlogic or otherwise). And being the lurky little jerk that I have been, I need to insert myself into the rapid stream-of-consciousness, preferably in a way that isn't horribly jarring and disorienting to myself and others. And get my head straight about these facts and accusations being slung around the room at insanely high velocities.
Soooo I think the best way to do that is to start clean and just analyze everyone asbestos I can. Mostly because I really have nothing already here to work with other than people telling me to quit lurking and post something useful.
So, alphabetical order for my reads on everyone. Because why not.
Archangel. I am extremely wary of this fellow. He never did answer the question I asked of him, and then when he promises content, he delivers a pretty incomplete attack against Pandarsenic and then disappears again... Nevermind the fact that Pandar's the only person who's really attacked him... This could be seen as quite the OMGUS, especially since, in my opinion, there really wasn't much bite to what he had to say. Suspicions against other people are totally unvoiced, and he has nothing to say of Nirur Torir's chainsawing buddy behavior... As time goes on, I suspect more and more that they are on a team.
Argembarger. A pretty cool and nice guy who wants to not lurk and hunt some scum instead of lurk.
IronyOwl. I have no real overt reason to suspect him of anything at this time. Really active, outspoken, etc. Doesn't come off as scummy, really, not to me.
Jokerman-EXE. As much as I want to avoid bringing Zath's death into this, I can't help but feel that you killed him because he had you pinned as scum and that made you uncomfortable. Finger of suspicion for now. Moooostly because I find it very strange that you just sort of say, very matter-of-factly, that you killed Zath, that you regret nothing, and then you leave that little tidbit there and move on to other things (which you may or may not be being attacked for by others at the moment). I don't entirely see how it's justified, I mean, you couldn't have known he was a SK, and any real reason you may have had to suspect him for being scum before his flip sounds OMGUSy to me. But, um, thanks for killing a serial killer? I guess?
I don't want to lay out the impression that I'm clinging to Zathras' tunnel against him mindlessly... just that that whole debacle is pretty irrevocably planted in my head, and asking me to totally ignore it is something I'm not prepared to do.
But now it looks like Joker and Native are OMGUSing each other >:-|
Mr. Person. Seems to be changing his vote a lot, which is totally fine, but of all the people who I feel neutrally about, I feel most neutrally about Mr. Person... if that makes any sense at all.
Uh, but, you aren't just letting Pandar off the hook that easily, are you man?
MysteriousBluePuppet. Clashing swords with IronyOwl quite a bit... Any suspicions besides IronyOwl and lurkers? Otherwise, fairly neutral read on him.
NativeForeigner. As I said in the Jokerman post, looks like Joker and Native are OMGUSing each other to me, which I would find hilarious, if they weren't focusing exclusively on each other. However, there seems to be some kind of odd thing going on between him and Toaster... A couple of times, it looks like Toaster is pushing Native, and getting him to attack Joker more. I could just be paranoid. And it's a pretty unsubstantial thing to attack someone for, but I'm gonna keep an eye on that. However,
Native, what's your read on Toaster?
Nirur Torir. I have to agree that he seems to be chainsawing/buddying Archangel pretty severely.
Come get some. You said "partially" in response to whether you're still attacking me for attacking Archangel. Why was Archangel worth chainsaw defending?
It's only a chainsaw if we're both scum. I am a townie.
As to why, it's because of you putting him at the top of your list for the wording on his question. We've been over this.
I mean, this applies to me because I suppose I attacked Archangel for the same reason Pandar did, but regardless, there's a big difference between defending someone on the grounds that someone is attacking them for a lousy reason, and defending someone by voting the person who is attacking them for a lousy reason, citing that lousy reason as proof that they are scum... As if scum are the only people capable of making slipshod arguments...? I mean, yeah, voting him for that isn't the greatest, but hey, if it gets the man talking, you know? All I can say is, you're trying to bridge a pretty wide gap here connecting Pandar's attack on Archangel to some degree of scummitude...
Oh and the definition of a chainsaw is "a player who defends another player by attacking the other player's attacker is very probably scum"... Can you really make the claim that what you are doing is not a chainsaw defense?
Org. Oh lord, Org. Buddy, pal, I will never support a policy lynch against you, but I'll totally support a lynch of you for not doing anything.
Still, I kind of like to think of Org like the Protoss in Starcraft. Takes a while to get them going, but they're really strong when they finally get established. Although, with people saying stuff like "Org will screw us over in LyLo" in other games, I'm not sure how much my opinion of Org holds up. There isn't much, really, to say about him at the moment, other than he's kind of being himself, and being pretty passive.
Promise you start doing work soon? Please? Because you're making me look dumb for trying to defend you..
Ottofar. Too inactive to get a read on.
Pandarsenic. I share his suspicions about Nurir and Archangel, but otherwise, pretty neutral.
Toaster. Hyperactive. Throwing plenty of stuff at everybody. No scumtells that I've seen. Based on activity and what I've read from him, he leans town at the moment for me.
So based on all of that, my top scumpicks at the moment are Archangel, Nirur and Joker.
Keeping the extension until Thursday in mind, will a vote on
Org spur him into action? I really want to hear what you have to say about everything. And if it takes vote pressure to do so, that's fine by me.
And there you have it. A wall of text from yours truly, featuring almost nothing but original words typed by me just now.
