a) He posted an idiotic random vote, and then nothing else other than this kook business.
b) He was asked his alignment, and he didn't respond, waffled, deflected, and didn't actually claim it until his penultimate post.
c) "Kook" isn't his alignment. If he's a townie kook, then his alignment is "town". I say he knows enough to see the difference, but plays dumb well enough to get away with it.
d) His last post is clearly disingenuous. "Modwrath"? "a hidden clause about claiming"? Please. Even he doesn't buy that. "It's a good thing to do" Oh, how townie of you. "I claimed my role" no you didn't, you claimed kook, but nothing else. Enough waffling, wine and half-truths there to fill a pigsty.
e) Otherwise, utterly useless, just as much as Org or Jokerman.
f)MBP is not new. He has been playing here longer than I have. He almost won BYOR4 back in September or thereabouts, yes? That was my first (non-BM) game here. He was acting lurky, evasive, noobish and so on there too, and he was scum (arsonist). He may not be too smart or incisive, but he's not noober than I am, he just plays that card well, but it'd be dangerous of us to buy the act. But meta-wise, he's not a good liar. If he must conceal something he's more prone to lurk, deflect or ignore than outright lie until pressed; like he knows that if he lies he'll be called on it. That is exactly what his behaviour here has been; he didn't actually claim kook until five posts into the waffling "am I? Should I say? would you believe me?" act.
Ok, i'm terrible with quotes, sorry about that
a)Fair enough, that's really what happened. As I explained , this being a bastard mod I was somewhat stressed about claiming. Again, i repeat, this is a bastard mod. Anything goes, that's why i turned around the pot so long, to see if id get soem feedback from the mod about claiming, received none, so i felt safe enough to claim. After the RVs from first post, the 2nd said basically that i was a Kook( the reference to Jim, last paranormal).
b) See a). Like those game, and id rather not get booted of it during christmas time ( when i can actually play it)
c) I claimed Kook since in my mind Kook is a Townie that get a Scum when investigated. So basically a townperson who appear scum.
d) Heh, i did actually believe that. it's a bastard mafia after all, Part of the charm.
e) True enough, got pretty much nothing in the hunting department right now, i'll work on changing that.
f) Hehe, that was mean, and that still gave me a bit too much credit. BYOR4 was also my first game, and i did not play many since then. Frankly, i'm poor at scumhunting since i'm more accustomed to play this game around a table, and use body language to find the scum. Internet is much more about information, and i have trouble keeping up with it.
And you are right, i'm not a good liar. Still, i don't see my playstyle like the one in BYOR4. Back then it was mosly shallow promise of content then lurking, etc, like you described. My behavior is not one of lurking and shuuffling around. I claimed, stand by it. I shambled about at first due to apparently irrational fear of a bastard modkill. Check it back if you want.
Now, for the hunting part. Right now, no obvscum (obviously) or that little part would not exist.
Argem. You got any reason other than my claim for your insistent voting ?
Also, how could a dopp benefit from claiming Kook as a first gesture? Don't you think the attention would defeat the whole purpose ?
Also Also, on your karkat response to Toony, why are you apparently so certain my claim is a false one ?
Zath: With the few content we got to work with right now, how is lynching me more than a simple policy lynch ? If you are still unconvinced about the reaosn why i kept turning around my claim at first, what is the difference between me and Org ?
Will answer any question asked, of course.
