Dammit, EBWODP:
I like the intent of this post. However, you get 72 hours to figure it out and post some stuff. When you finally post a case it ends up being a massive contradiction. Instead of hunting the person who looks like the worst scum on the face of the earth(me), you go after someone you say is likely "newb town".
So, we're back to this, are we? I figured we were done harassing me about my big fuckup with voting shark when
you said you understood me now.
You've admitted to making shit up to get Jim to stop questioning you; if that's not cracking under pressure I don't know what is. You didn't hunt scum, you didn't convince him your case on Shark was worth pursuing (or really pursue a decent case on anyone), and instead resorted to just kicking up dirt in the hopes he'd eventually give up and go away. That is the behavior of someone who is TERRIFIED of being lynched.
This bullshit with my misvote is just that: bullshit. See, I expected people to say "What the fuck, McArathos" and make me explain myself. I did. You accepted my explanation. Now, when the heat is on, suddenly it's suspicious again. You're looking for a scapegoat to get the heat off you.
Thing is, if you know someone's a newb, why are you even asking him any of those questions? There are few things in that post could actually lead to you firmly believing that Shark is scum.
Really? Asking him to explain his refusal to build a case, or why he is defending instead of scumhunting can't possibly lead to proof he's scum?
Demanding he explain why he's trying to guilt the town out of voting him with his "This could be MYLO, you can't lynch me" shit isn't attacking a scummy move? (You've done the same thing, by the way, and gave less than satisfactory answers for it).
Wanting him to answer for the VERY scummy request that a vigilante reveal itself despite common sense making it clear this is only an anti-town decision isn't attacking him for scummy behavior?
Fuck that, Orangebottle. I had plenty to get out of questioning him, and I got it. He broke town, so I switched focus to you.
Arathos: It's one thing to be tired, but to vote for someone you said was probably newbtown in the very same post? Come on. At the time, what made Shark a more likely candidate for scum than OB?
I said already, I wasn't paying enough attention. I made a list of candidates and some preliminary cases based on what I remembered from the day, and was originally voting Imiknorris. Then I re-read, several times, and forgot to change my opinion of Shark. My vote bounced from Urist to Jim to Shark in the course of rereading. I'd voted him, but also felt Orangebottle and you were suspicious. On another read-through, I didn't have much on you besides infrequent, low-content posts. Those posts did seem productive and town, so it seemed pointless to attack you (hence why there was no attack on you; I'd deleted it for being pointless and baseless). I meant to delete the color change before I hit "Post", and didn't.
Again, it's the only explanation I have for it; it was a big mistake, and I do expect to answer for it. What I don't expect to do is have someone say "Okay, that makes sense", then turn around and say "It's scummy and I demand answers!" within a few hours of accepting my explanation. That is why I believe Orangebottle is harping on it purely because he's cornered and he knows it.
