I was being sarcastic because I had addressed the accusations of being "wishy-washy" earlier in that same post. I'll try to remember to use sarcastic orange from now on.

MacDougall wrote:Lynch jackofhearts team and we will be sitting pretty.

As several people have already asked, what about him makes you say that? Can you give me or anyone else a solid reason to vote for him? It seems to me that he's just not as adept at playing this game on this forum, which is something I can relate to. There are a lot of intricacies and stuff a lot of you are aware of.

Epignosis wrote:I'm skeptical. First off, how does Scotty drive, text, and flip a coin?

Of the votes cast, I find yours, Scotty, to be the least genuine. I don't believe you flipped a coin (how could a coin have multiple sides- surely there were multiple people who qualified as low posters). I'm going to pull the exact quote:

"I actually flipped a coin among a few of you that had low posts and [Jack] came up [...]"

Explain to me how you "actually" (your word) flipped a coin to decide among a "few" (your word again) low posters.

I'm glad you caught that. I totally missed it in my efforts to catch up on the last couple pages.

As far as the vote goes, I'm going to place mine on Scotty until he can explain himself. I'll check back in before the poll closes to make my final decision, but the logic of flipping a coin between more than two options doesn't add up and I find it hard to believe that a civ with good intentions would be so flippant in their decision-making process. We're supposed to be trying to root out the bad guys--not lynch people at random.

That being said, I have not forgotten about Quin and llama's super shady attempt to discredit me. For now I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that it was just a genuine attempt to root out baddies.

Can you be more specific?

I don't think there's a real question I've been asked that I didn't take seriously.

Convince me you aren't just being opportunistic by saying you might vote for one of the players who already has two votes for no real reason.

This post is pretty flippant, but in fairness to you, I think I keep confusing you with Notsawyer, since I don't know either of you. I can't tell you apart. Please try to be more distinctive.

Well I don't like that your avatar is what you'd get if Diablo fucked a sharptooth.

But I don't vote for stupid reason.

I know this post was accidentally aimed at me but I'll answer anyway.

We were in Unfortunate Events together but you got lynched on Day 1.

If I had a day kill that I had to use this second, I'd shoot Mac. Three seconds in and he's sure I'm scum? Never played with him before so his certainty is either a bluff or a lie (depending on his alignment and if he's bad, how many scum he thinks exist outside his group). Plenty of townies are jokingly certain of scum on Day 1 but with two posts about it, I get the impression he isn't joking. Some townies can act really certain on Day 1 when they actually just have a hunch. Don't know Mac's meta to know if he plays that type of a townie game or if he's just looking for a mislynch or to look like he's contributing.

I'm not actually planning on voting for Mac, though. I'm planning on voting for whoever pings me enough that I want to lead a lynch or my top suspect that is getting enough votes to make them lynchable. (I don't vote third party very often cause I want my vote to matter.) I don't know who that is, yet, but I'll let you know.

Why you seem so bad then?

What's a townie Marmot look like?

Something akin to this

I'm afraid I don't see what you're getting at. I was saying that I didn't see an argument or any evidence as to why people thought you were bad, but qualifying it with the fact that I don't know many of the people here as well as the rest of you know each other. I've known LC for nearly a decade, which is my basis for the civ read I have on him. But I've also known him long enough to know he can't be trusted. He won the Star Wars mafia I hosted on Lostpedia as an Indy role, so I know what he's capable of.

I totally betrayed and murdered my Civ BTSC team for more power.

Jackofhearts, I see you.

Placeholder vote on Quin. I don't think my original point was that obscure.

You had the chance to reiterate your point. Why didn't you take it, and instead choose to believe that I'm (assumedly purposefully) misinterpreting your question?

Epignosis wrote:

I predict a mechanic that stops the person with the most votes from being lynched and the lynch is actually decided based on the location of each voter.

That's okay. It's normal for people to think my suspicions are off. I even get lynched for them sometimes.

So I see a lot role-claiming. I thought this was illegal. G-Man...will those who have claimed an alliance have negative consequences?

(Still have a bit of catching up.)

Spoken like a true Democrat.

I won't be satisfied until I have double digits in negative Hillary points.

I didn't lynch you last time because you didn't make 100 posts.

Just don't make any jokes like "Rule 1: Always lynch X day 1" and you're off to a good start.

I have a rule. Long Con is always bad when he starts cracking wise and not being serious.

Emphasis on the 'wisdom' factor, I'd say.

Is this where I get voted for?

I would never cast a vote until I was 100% sure that the pity party was over.

S~V~S wrote:Sure. Although ALL of us would probably lie about it,lol. We're Mafia players.

I'm a civ, and I fully support Hillary Clinton.
