I'm sorry Jim I wasn't quite sure what to answer. It was more of a lets see what his reaction will be.
There's something that you'll need to learn very quickly, and that's it you need to answer every single question directed at you, without exception. And you better do a damn good job of answering them, or you'll end up lynched at the end of the day.
Player's don't take it too kindly when they get ignored, and they will get more and more aggressive to get the answers they want. And the thing is, that's optimal play. There's no avoiding it, because good players will not give up until they get an answer they like or they see you dead.
So when I ask you a question about why you voted someone, I want a damn fucking good answer.
Now, I'm not some needlessly harsh taskmaster here to drive you into the ground and beat you to a bloody pulp for every mistake you make. I am
very forgiving to Beginners. So I'll ask you a different question instead:
Your answer here, that you were testing his reaction, is contradictory to your answer
here, where you state that you voted him because he asked you a hypothetical question you couldn't answer. Why the two stories? It's not because you're scum and you don't have any idea what you're doing, is it? (As a general note, if you keep with the game, you're going to get asked lots and lots and lots of loaded questions, especially if somebody suspects you, which I do. In most cases, they're not interested in getting an answer to their loaded question. Answer the substance of the inquiry with substance.)
Phantom of the Library, why are you covering for zombie urist, chainsawing people who investigate him? Protecting your scumbuddy?
You have a few posts you could link to that make you think this way?
Besides, if I was scum then the last thing I would want to do is defend my scum-buddy, as that would make it blaringly obvious that we were working together.
This is WIFOM. You should avoid it. It's not really something you can expect scum universally wouldn't do, so it doesn't make a very good defense.
Mod/ICs:Didn't know that votes get carried over, do the same questions that people asked stormtemplar get directed to Strategia?
You can't expect that a replacement will have answers for the player he's replacing.
There's nothing stopping you from asking, however.
