Native:
Toaster: Did you use your kill last night? If not, why not?
Nuke: Actually, I killed Max...
Are you a survivor? I'm thinking you are, since you're not even reading the thread. Sorry if you're busy, but I think this has gone beyond just that.
Jack: The three people I wanted to hear from most (Irony, Native, and Dariush) hadn't answered my questions when that vote occurred. Native is the only one that had posted at all at that point, and that was with a "more later" answer. Since he's yet to do much of anything
all game, he got the pressure vote. As stated above, I'm now seeing an ulterior motive.
From my late D4 scumlist, Irony is the only survivor. It was only a gut read at that point, which I'm trying to clarify now. Native, Dariush, and MBP need to talk more (though see below regarding MBP.)
Irony:
Toaster:
Nuke: Actually, I killed Max, because I saw him as following a scumbuddy and pissing around instead of hunting for scum. I can't speak for the lack of another kill.
What was it about Max and Powder that made them acceptable targets, when no one at all fit the bill in between?
I've explained this. I was pretty damn sure Powder was scum based on his actions. N2 I got caught up on the MBP deal and ended up with a "idiot town" read on him. N3 I was strongly considering shooting Simple, but wasn't sure and didn't want to lead to LYLO on a misfire. N4 we had some breathing room, so I shot my top scumpick Max, due to his rampant inactivity and passive play, which is scummy in its own right and completely out of character for him.
Irony: What's your view on MBP now that Simple flipped scum?
After careful consideration, I still think he's scum.
No, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for him to bus Simple like that. But even aside from the WIFOM, it's not like this would be his first inexplicably stupid action, and he's done absolutely nothing to convince me otherwise.
On that note, I'd like to hear, in detail, how you could possibly think he's town. "My gut" is a valid excuse to a point, but we're talking about someone who's genuine excuse for instaending the day was "Leafsnail was going to mindrape you all into lynching me," who's only suspicion I can recall has been a halfassed OMGUS, and who did literally nothing D4 except cast a reasonless vote.
I've explained this as well. One, I don't think Meph would give a strong LYLO breaker as that to scum. Two, firing it off at day start like that was something he was lucky to be on a the right time to have done- therefore, it couldn't have been coordinated from the start. It was the move of an individual, not a team. Three, if he was going to vote Simple with such a bad/nonreason, he easily could have voted me with the same. Four, gut and you'll just have to deal with it.
You know, I'm suddenly reminded of BYOR 5.5 and just how wrong I was over it. Hmm. Clearly the power level here is lower than that game, though.
To clarify, your scumpicks are MBP, Jack, and myself, correct?
