Mr.Person: If Nuke is lynched and flips scum, what would that say about Dariush? And if Dariush was lynched and flipped scum, what about Nuke?
I'm not sure since I would have to reread the thread and that's a LOT of work to do to answer an odd question like this. However, I can tell you flat our that unless Dariush is third or fourth on NUKE's wagon, we're not looking at bussing. You just never see people on B12 bus on a game this small. Ok, that's not 100% true, I've seen small game bussing, but it's pretty fucking rare. Without looking too hard, I'd say it's unlikely for the other to be bussing the first. Even in the "NUKE is already getting voted...", it's still not exactly likely for NUKE to agree to just give up. I can see it, but it's just not a good strategy, really. I doubt a single scum would survive the rest of the game, so frankly if either of these situations happens with a bus and I assume there isn't a bus, the odds of that scum winning are still pretty low. Somebody's going to throw enough inspections and shit around that the scum will get caught. There's no chance of double killing scum. The game's just too hard for a single scum in this setup, even if that scum probably won't be lynched or NK'd.
I never said it was a townie thing to do. I said it was a weak reason to vote for someone and that you could come up with much better. If you're going to try and convince people to vote for Dariush, then you're not doing it right, as I remain unconvinced. I mean, really? Am I supposed to care that he's not answering your questions? What if your questions are stupid? All I have to base your vote off of is that he's not answering your questions. To that I say, "Why does that matter to me?"
So, yes. Your reasoning is weak. It matters nothing to me. I expect more from you.
It's enough for me. Good thing my primary interest in life isn't convincing you to do as I so. Not that I'm not trying to change your vote, I'm just way more interested in figuring out your alignment. So I'm fine with you not being convinced.
So you agree that Dariush's behavior isn't that of a townie, yet you claim you're not convinced. Ok. So you agree that active lurking is scummy, yes? Good. Active lurking is an attempt to avoid answering questions and generally look useful. You also agree that Dariush is avoiding answering my questions. So how is Dariush's behavior better (less scummy) than TolyK's? I'm talking purely about Dariush's refusal to give me a straight answer, not Dariush's original reasoning. I'm trying to figure out your reasoning here and I'm not seeing it.
... Yeah. Sure. I love how out of context that reply is.
...the (intentional) lack of my response to your WoT,...
Webadict.
How is this.
Ever the right thing to do?
I admit that that is a stupid reason, but not nearly as lynch-justifiable as you might think. Assume that you are now both 1-1 and stop bickering, since YOU set up a stupid trap on Orange. Agreed?
Good. Get back to looking at people.
I was trying to get NUKE and Dariush to stop being stupid to each other. See that part you cut out of my quote? Yeah. It makes sense with that there. Because, you know, it's NOT about me.
That's a really scummy thing to do, Mr.Person. First, you lie. Then, you take things completely out of context. What's next, dirtbag?
Disappointed. If you're going to try and make me look scummy, at least try in a way that doesn't automatically fail by grabbing the entire quote.
Oh. Yeah, that was a misread on my part. And not even a good one since you clearly said "you" and not "us" or "we". Wow, that's just bad. Fine, you didn't make any mistake there, and you're obviously not trying to gloss over any mistakes.
However, I do have a good point in that you're taking a question aimed at you and ignoring it (IE being defensive). How exactly is not answering questions and bragging about it not "lynch justifiable"? That's kind of scummy since townies should be able to answer all questons posed at them due to forming a coherent opinion. Lynching the guy who can't form the coherent opinion is the very definition of the guy to lynch. Hell, you're voting TolyK because TolyK has trouble forming an opinion in the form of never forming one to begin with. I'm voting Dariush for lack of opinion due to not having one he can justify and also for not answering questions aimed at him. How is TolyK scum and Dariush not scum? Your stance here makes no sense, and when NUKE asks you to explain it, you just say "You're wrong, now both of you shut up" without explaining why NUKE is wrong to think that Dariush intentionally not answering a WoT is scummy. That's pretty scummy of Dariush. You can't attack NUKE for doing something stupid and acting like it's smart while yourself doing something stupid and acting like it's smart. That's what Dariush did, literally. So please, explain why exactly Dariush isn't lynch-worthy after not answering my questions, not answering NUKE's questions, and having no reason whatsoever for voting NUKE?
Also, good explaination for why NUKE and Dariush should stop talking.
