...pretty strange hearing about passivity from someone who lurked D1 away.
For most people, I'm sure it would be. In your case, however, I think our scumhunting was pretty comparable that day. You had more overall interaction, but most of it was reactive.
And I just explained my stance on lurkers - until they get in here and say something, it's impossible to tell about them anything except 'they're lurking'. When they do, the position against them may be a bit... biased.
This has nothing to do with you voting someone and then sitting on it, and it's certainly not an excuse to do nothing at all.
I admittedly don't have much in the way of suspects, but I'm actually doing something about my list.
Yeah. You're ignoring it.
Do explain.
IronyOwl: Can you summarise to us your points against Dariush and reasoning for same?
I didn't really like how, in the same post, he said he'd be very careful with his vote, even during RVS, and then promptly hopped onto Toony.
Upon rereading, it occurred to me that that was his first real post of the game, and he was the third vote on Toony, with an RV question, well after more interesting things were happening.
More importantly, he's been doing almost no scumhunting, especially prior to being called on it. That's not to say he's not here: He's responding to questions, voting, and even lightly scumhunting people who accuse him (in a fairly OMGUSy manner). In terms of voting someone and then scumhunting them, though, there's very, very little- he votes, asks them some token question, and then defends himself.
When I asked him about this, he had this to say:
Toony was digging a pit for himself and finally fell into it. My questioning wouldn't have changed anything. Max already dug half a pit and is now desperately trying to get out of it. The bad thing about lurkers is that they don't say anything substantial which makes it impossible to base any case on them except 'they're lurking'. What are your other suspects?
In other words, he's content to just ride lynches. He's not so passive that he won't
vote for people, just passive enough that he doesn't feel the need to do anything afterwards.
So you're saying that you're perfectly willing to lynch him and not bother with other suspicions (seeing as you haven't fielded any), and if that doesn't work...you'll just act like that's totally fine. No, that's not how the game is played. That's how the scum-game is played. If your suspicions were real, then you would have multiple suspects, not one that you latch onto and not even care whether or not he's truly scum.
Toaster/Everyone Else: You're saying that I'm not hunting because I asked several people what their scumlists are. But you know what I got in response?
"Bandwagon on Max first, then Dariush because *regurgitates what everyone else says about Dariush*."
"Nah man, scumhunting isn't my game. I'll just keep going with the second bandwagon."
"Don't have an answer, or can't link to it, so I'll pretend it wasn't asked."
So you know what? I'd have to say that it WAS effective scumhunting, because it pointed out how blatantly certain people in this game are coasting by without really contributing at all (OH GOD THE IRONY IS GLORIOUS).
Anyone else have anything to say?
Oh, this is rich. Really, this is just awesome.
See, a real townie's gotta have suspects. So what you'll do, see, is ask everyone what their suspects are. Whoever has the least suspects go on
your suspect list, and the one with the absolute fewest suspects gets your vote. And since you did it first, you've already got your list of suspects, so nobody can do the exact same thing to you!
Brilliant. Especially since half your post is being suspicious of two people for being suspicious of the third, which you are now
also suspicious of, for the exact same reasons as those two. I mean, calling people out on their bandwagon like that
while joining it just really takes class.
