I'll just drop this here: I used to be a Vigilante, which is why I was so sure Zathras was scum.
What in the hell do these two have to do with each other? Does Vigilante give you non-power-related scum-sensing ability? Would only scum attack your pure townlike vigilanteish visage?
At first I didn't want to go after him because he felt like aggressive town, but as time went I started to realize that he didn't feel right and I knew I was onto something.
Interesting, because this would seem to mean his attack on Pandar was what finally lead to your realization. Was that it? What specifically made you feel confident enough to kill him?
I was attempting to not draw too much attention to third-party teams because I was looking for them.
What's your reasoning here, that people would be more likely to let out cultslips if nobody else mentioned cult?
My stance on lurkers is the same as it always has been, but I figured that if it got to be too much trouble this game I would just take them out myself - I tried to get other town to hunt active people, but that backfired on me.
That's a lot of targets this game. Do you really think ignoring and then NKing them is the most efficient way to combat lurking?
I hadn't really decided. If I still had to, I would say...Pandar is kind of suspicious, but not really someone I would kill. Native or Mr.Person, maybe, out of sheer spite.
The plan was pretty much to kill Zathras, but he was leading town towards killing a role that's very beneficial towards town, so I figured it was a better investment to give up my NK ability and save a scumhunter.
I see no saved scumhunter. I hope you're not talking about yourself.
1. Honestly, yes. Maybe that's a little vain of me, but I felt that I wasn't being as scummy as he was trying to make me seem (seeing as, y'know, I know I'm not scum?), and that he should have gotten what I was
trying to say. Yes, I was a little off about it - I've been really busy, if you missed that. I'm just getting back into the game.
2. It wasn't his attack on Pandar that did it - I don't even recall the particulars of that attack. However, he was tunneling me heavily, and it seemed to me that he was seriously jumping the gun; he posted twice to rage at me for lurking when I posted saying I would be gone, then had two separate people come by to let you guys know. Seriously, no one gets that riled up D1 without knowing something, and on D1 there's only one faction that knows something the others don't.
3. Uhh, yes. It's happened before, I think. If I'm quietly searching for something, it's probably easier to find than if a couple people are loudly stomping and shouting about it. That's what we like to call logical.
4. It was an attempt to get people to just fucking ignore it for at least one game day! Jesus Christ, it's so goddam frustrating - every single game, that's all people ever default to. I was hoping that we could make it through one game in which it wasn't a problem, because lurkers would find themselves dead and the actual hunting would have more room to happen. That was my plan, anyway.
5. Let's get to that, shall we?
NativeForeigner, I've seen you parroting Zath a lot after his death without actually presenting a case. All you've said is, "Nope, Zath's points are good." without adding to them. That's not how scumhunting works, and it's certainly not how it should work when the person you're parroting
was the Serial Killer. You claim his points are valid, and yet I was arguing against them the entire time, when you were so sure he was town. He was ignoring every point I made and you rode right along with him. Why are you so complacent as to continue supporting the SK even after you know who he was?
Nirur Torir: You haven't posted since I responded to you. I'm curious to know your thoughts. What's your list of suspicions?
Argembarger: Toaster beat me to it, but you've been a passive little guy, haven't you? I'd like to see you
actually participate, instead of trying to slip by. At least the lurkers in this game are fully lurking.
Pandarsenic: Almost the same as Argembarger, actually. Towards the end with Zath there, you were starting to show more activity; keep that up. Who are your top picks now, knowing Zath's flip?
MBP: I've answered your question. How do you feel about Zath's flip? Does it change your suspicions at all?
And back to
IronyOwl: If you think MBP is scum, why aren't you voting him? Is Pandar more scummy? And where do you think I fall, after all this? You've made it clear that you don't think I'm town. So who exactly do you suspect?
If I missed anything, someone slap me and link to it, please.
