Billybobfred: I do not recall ever interrogating you, so I will make a request. Similarly to those entries you have given for everyone above, I want you to give yourself an objective self-evaluation and add yourself to the wall, end result and all.
Asking someone else to interrogate themselves for you, at this point of the game, is simply lazy. It allows you to bend whatever they have to say to your whim. Also permits you to never make any real effort.
I thought that a response would have been insightful at the time I posted this, but after some thinking, I felt terrible about it. I will gladly redact this and think of something else to ask him.
I am not attacking your reasoning on any of these individual verdicts (I figure you know what you are doing through experience), but collectively, the chance of something being wrong somewhere is much more likely. None of what I have made bold I find to be especially conclusive, and are the weaker points that I think could be expounded upon to make them believable for the rest of us.
Indirect. Passive.
While it is true that I am nervous to be among those three to whom you have narrowed down your suspicion (which is understandable, regardless of my alignment), I would like to note that circumventing an argument by simply suggesting that you reassess your list should not be confused with meekly pleading for the same.
Suddenly more italics, and you're telling us what's reasonable in advance. Here's my reaction, my reaction's reasonable! But I tried to cover it up, augh, flaiiil~! Tell me, do you use italics when you're feeling especially emphatic? Or nervous? Do your sentences stretch out longer? Here's a hint: normally, you use two clauses. Here, when you start being forced to defend yourself, you stretch to three.
I'm getting a strong feeling of dishonesty from you.
I wanted to prod what I saw were flaws Wuba's list without trying to push him over for a response. The argument that you had with him the other day convinced me that both of you were town, and because of this, I figured there would be little to gain by kicking a response out of him. Ordinarily, I would not have minded, because I can read into an angry response more easily than I could a collected response. As I have pointed out above, though, I have cleared both of your names. It could be a flaw of mine that I try not to be confrontational wherever I can avoid it, and genial with every answer that I offer--I am like this in real-life, too. I was not expecting Wuba to lash out like he did in response to my post, and I was caught off-guard with my defenses down as a result; I might as well have been naked and guilty enough for both of the mafia. While my rebuttal
did give me the information I wanted, it was apparently transparent enough to show my discomfort, despite my attempt to hide it.
I have not come to any decision on who is scum today, so I am not voting.
Go find some.
Honestly, you're playing too passively. Get your hands dirty. Attack someone. Do you think it's going to be any easier to find scum tomorrow?
No. So get to it.
I'll also note that you haven't responded to Webadict's statement that your behavior is scummy, either, despite posting in the topic. That's a very bad sign.
I missed that post. I did not think to scroll up when I entered the thread via the 'Unread Posts' link at the top of the page.
Webadict, I will say that I hesitate to lynch someone if I am not entirely sure that they are scum. I do not plan on jumping on any bandwagons, so while I find jc and Bd suspicious, there is not enough for me to go on to vote for them. Simple and Urist have been absent for a while. Simple is an aggressive player who does not appear to be scummy, and Urist has been reserved even before his disappearance. Between the two, Urist seems the more suspicious, even though I have cleared him after my interrogation with him (which fell apart on a blunder I have made with post chronology). As noted above, both you and Vector appear to be town, and I have not even glanced in billybobfred's direction the entire game, up until he made that nice word wall. I figured that asking him to add himself to that wall would allow me to collect sufficient evidence to clear him before the day expired, but it was slapped down by Vector. IronyOwl is difficult to read, simply because he spends much of his time being an IC.
Does this theory apply so much in a BM, where the scum are sure to be nervous and among the most suspicious?
This implies that you know none of the ICs are scum, Flandre.
Now, how did you figure that out?
Because I asked specifically about Beginner's Mafia, I assumed that he knew that I was referring to novice players as they fit into both alignments. I am aware that an IC might also be scum, and that my question could have been more specific.
