I see what you did there Sorsha.

That moment when the accused makes a better case for themselves to be voted for than the person who accused them.

MacDougall wrote:How the fuck after this is Banana the lynch leader. Holy shit that is such an obvious counterwagon. Town plz.

Finally something I can agree with you on. I don't like this at all and I think most of the votes for Banana are super weak. Banana is just as much of a newbie as BUGLA but BUGLA has given much more reason to be lynched.

MacDougall wrote:Dom vote for me. Surely you must think I am scummier than Banana.

You seem very on edge about being voted for when it is next to impossible that you will be lynched in the two minutes that are left.

BUGLABUSH is too scared to fake scumhunting, hence the silly approach. I don't buy it for a second. If you have original reasons for voting Dom why didn't you state them when voting for Dom? I am not sure whether your glaring inconsistencies are weak town play or revolutionary scum play.

linki@Mac 1 - See, you've got some nerve insinuating that I'm protecting Dom when really I'm just attacking your poorly justified vote. Dom is one of my suspicions based on his recent content, but I don't think he is more likely to be scum than BUGLA and I think if he's not then he could provide us with some good content later on. I have given more reasons to be suspicious of him but not vote for him than you given reasons to vote for him at all. Good reasons, I should clarify.

linki@Mac 2 - Others have voted for Banana instead of Bug, why not call them out? My imaginary protecting of Dom is less apparent than your irrational singling out of him to justify your anti-vote.

linki@Mac 3 - I'm not going to vote for you for not liking your play, I'm going to vote for you if I think you're scum. Defensive much?

Your rationalisation is bizarre. I am putting faith in an Epi town read and his scumdar. I don't have a read on Dom but he does. I haven't said I agree with his case I am deferring to him in lieu of my options.

I like that his lynch is not easily forthcoming too.

So you admit that you don't even have a read on the person you're voting for, and that you've hand-picked someone who you think is town to decide your opinions for you in a game where there are no guarantees of any alignment of your own, but MY rationalization is bizarre.

Um...

linki@Sorsha - He's begging for it. He brought it on himself.

Sorsha wrote:I could also go for a BUG lynch, wasn't fond of his comment to zebra mostly. Also if he's getting tips from Floyd or some bad btsc partner he could just be playing the noob card, it worked for quite a while when Floyd did it and was bad. If Dom is going to be around and contribute like he is now I would likely think better of him. I'm also reminded of his play in the gentlemans guide game when he was a low laying baddie who ended up winning.

Can this opinion become unanimous please? I don't see how it isn't obvious that that's what's going on.

*votes*

Dom wasn't interested either until he got votes on him. If buglabush was scum I would imagine his team would be screaming at him to contribute, probably even post coaching.

Bug looks like an island to me.

I also want to respond to this.

Explain my disinterest. How was I disinterested?

Low post content comparatively.

Where's that siren GIF when you need it?

Golden wrote:If bubbles is bad, I'm prefectly happy to give you partial credit, zebra. My point, though, is specifically meta, in that bubbles more or less leaps out of her skin to claim she is civ in every game.

I know, I was half-joking since we had different points anyway. If that does go so strongly against her meta I could see myself voting for her tomorrow. But today I haven't seen another lynch candidate that comes close to BUGLA's uncompromising nonsense.

Golden wrote:Switching my vote to bubbles.

Bubbles would normally say 'I am town'.

For her to say "Am I bad? Go by my track record" looks to me... suspiciously like someone trying to avoid saying that she is civ.

Damn, son. Nice catch.

Partial credit por favor.

Why no? And why should we go by your track record as opposed to the content of your posts in this game?

Epi's case against Dom might be great for all I know, but that's just the problem, I can't know. It's meta-based. It makes no sense to echo a meta-based case when you yourself aren't familiar with the meta of the lynch candidate, especially when you were the one boasting earlier about how poor the reasoning against BUGLA is.

Lol what would you prefer I do Zebra?

Pretty much anything but weakly echo a case that is relying primarily on meta that you aren't even familiar with yourself.

Not good enough. If your primary scum candidates were not votable, you were commuting across the country and only posting at red lights and piss stops and there were 40 minutes left to vote... what would you do?

Why is your bug vote stronger than my Dom vote? What is your bug case again? How is it better than Epis?

Dios H. mio. I'm going to answer your questions in quotes from now on until you decide that my posts are worth reading.

Which was followed by anything BUT giving opinions on other people in the thread and explaining whether he thinks they are good or bad and why. If I'm given a reason to think that anyone else is a more valuable lynch than someone who is practically taking enjoyment out of refusing to contribute, (which I believe would not be the case if that BUGLABUSH is town, so this is in no way a policy lynch), then I will change my vote. Give me that reason, please.

To recap, the case against Dom is entirely meta-based. It might be accurate, but based on Dom's behavior in this game alone, I don't see anything remotely suspicious (until recently that is) and I don't think you should have either. Compare that to one of the most obvious newbie-lurker-scum performances I think I've ever seen, and yeah.

Turnip Head, I would go a step further and say Mac's vote is significantly more effortless than the lurker/newbie votes and even the self-vote.

linki @ Dom - Where did I imply that I was demanding detailed opinions on everyone? Just more reads than a single person who you're basically voting for to save your own skin anyway.

I'll likely be voting in self preservation.
I think Sorsha's vote on me was suspect AF.

Yeah, but like, maybe other reads that you hadn't already mentioned? Oh dear.

Don't tell me you just disappeared after that last post Dom because THAT would make me vote for you.

Wow.

It is okay haha your total lack of consideration that it could have been possible makes you look great.

What kind of wow am I looking at here?

The wow is I can't believe no one else thinks BUGLA looks remotely bad here, newbie or no newbie.

You don't have to, neither do I.

I would like for Epignosis to elaborate on his suspicion of Dom in a non-exclusively humorous manner if that's not too much to ask.

Side note: Getting any good advice from your BTSC buddies, BUGLA?

I'm keeping a safe distance from Day 0 vote speculation for the time being.

linki - Really?

That being said, I don't think the original post that got Sorsha on the offense warrants much investigation. To me it seems humorous as well and nothing more.

It's not the presence of humor but rather the lack of a decent response that might be the issue, Epi.

To BUGLABUSH it is.

There is a crucial difference between overreacting with a defense and overreacting with an action. You performed the latter, in the worst possible way second only to claiming scum, so sorry, my vote stays too then.

Can you explain how nutella is lurking?

Two posts. One is an introduction and the other is echoing what others had already said with nothing original to add. Out of the other minimal posters, nutella seems the worst to me at the moment. But like I said, there really isn't anything so far I find that suspicious, so it's more of a pressure vote than anything else. At least for now.

Now in glorious underlining: nutella

Inconceivable!

Maybe we'll policy lynch you just for being on holiday.

I don't know if what you're saying is directed at me or not, but if it is, I suppose I should make it clear that I am not advocating a policy lynch. What I am advocating is for civilians to not vote for themselves unless they truly want to be lynched.
