Epi, shortly before quoting the post when LC initially asked him for his thoughts on players wrote: I'm sorry- where did you ask me to give "some player opinions" until just now?

Maybe this post is accusing Dyslexicon and defending Ricochet. LINK

You're not trying to get other people to vote for me today. Your treatment of me reminds me of Mass Effect when a) you weren't a civilian, and b) you nibbled ("You got nervous").

Thanks for bringing up Mass Effect. It's cute the way you want to try and angle what happened there, but let me clarify... in Mass Effect: a) I was genuinely hunting baddies, and b) you were a baddie.

Let's compare.

Obvious parallels. Attempt to discredit your accuser as a method of avoiding suspicion. This is a proven Epignosis baddie tactic. How else can you discredit your accusers? Maybe rolling your eyes at them?

Then you asked me a question about Dyslexicon.

Then you ask me a question about Ricochet.

Just like in Mass Effect, you are getting nervous because I am questioning you. You try to hide it behind condescending bluster and bravado, but your tells give you away (" "), and your meta seals the point.

You are bad, you're phoning it in, and you got caught. I understand that's not something you're wired to accept, but it's happening. I couldn't close the deal in Mass Effect, and you ended up winning as a baddie just like I was screaming you would the whole time. I don't have a lot of faith that the other players will see it this time, because you're historically really good at the manipulative talk to avoid your own lynch. But I saw through it then, and I see through it now.

You need a new shtick. Vote Epignosis

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 9:49 am Stop trying to control the conversation. I addressed you because I looked at your ISO and found it lacking in player opinions. And now, instead of giving some player opinions like I asked, you're trying to steer the conversation away from that. I'm not interested in discussing times in the past when you might have laid low. You're doing it now, that's the concern.

Control the conversation? My my my. How over the top of you.

I'm sorry- where did you ask me to give "some player opinions" until just now?

The irony is that you said this, which I gather is a criticism:

The criticism here is that I've "pretty much only focused on Dyslexicon as a suspicion."

Then you asked me a question about Dyslexicon.

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 1:12 am No, I'm asking you questions because all you're doing is accusing Dizzy and defending Rico, and laying low.

Now your complaint is that, in addition to accusing Dyslexicon, all I'm doing is defending Ricochet (I'm not, but that's how you're choosing to frame it). Then guess what?

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 9:49 am Looks like Rico is going to be lynched. You think he's Civ? 'Cause your efforts to save him have been pretty lacklustre - who should we lynch instead? Dyslexicon? Long Con?

Then you ask me a question about Ricochet.

And I'm not laying low. I addressed this. I have had other shit to do. If you can't fathom that, oh well. speedchuck can tell you I've been busy writing and editing. nijuukyugou can tell you she was visiting us Thursday evening and Friday morning and that, when I have company, I don't sit on my computer playing Mafia. Elohcin can tell you the A/C downstairs crapped out and my dad and I were in the attic working on the damn thing; we were unsuccessful last night, but for some reason it's working this morning like nothing ever happened.

So no, not laying low, Mr. Manipulator.

Maybe this post is accusing Dyslexicon and defending Ricochet.

I'm sorta tempted to vote for Rico because I'm pretty damn sick of the annoyingness, but Epi's pushing me to reconsider since I don't really think Rico necessarily looks like/is behaving like a baddie. Like, he could be "hiding behind" the singsong bullshit and the no-u pattern, but I don't have a particularly strong reason to think that. But the more he's getting pushed on it and remaining stubborn, the more I'm doubting his innocence... idk. WIFOM and all that jazz. If I can't make up my mind on Rico I might join DH in voting for G-Man -- the points there don't feel like much but it's more than I have on anyone else.

I'm "pushing" you?
