Linki: Yes. That result is pretty lame indeed. But I would be fooling myself if I didn't admit that I was probably voting for INH.

I've been criticized for this opinion before but I don't think lynching people who are purposely being useless is a terrible choice, even if they flip town.

I moved my vote to INH because the drive-bys seem to be coming in now.
An astute point.

I feel a bit worse about trice and Wilgy.
FYI I was the the first vote for epi, hardly a driveby. You could make the exact same point about late voters for INH too (who as we know now was civvie)

Epi has also brought up a_person twice in response to me voting for him, but I've always considered it poor sportsmanship to vote for somebody who hasn't been around to defend themselves (on that note, if a_person isn't able to play, maybe we need to look at replacements? he knows the game has started now so that excuse is gone)

I thought you might be shading me for opportunism re: MP via implication without directly stating it, which would be a dubious assertion given the fuller context of my dialogue with MP.

To your credit, you didn't go there. You didn't provide a "reasonable perspective" either; you left your answer at its most basic: "I thought your accusation was b/s and it was a ping". It's not a thorough explanation, but it's also not one that looks made up. I can on some level appreciate the take-it-or-leave-it frankness.
This is a good point. I can believe that a baddie Dom would have engaged in the latter.

I don't really have time to do a full catch up, just enough to see that (I assume) inh was good.

I don't much like the epi votes. Except maybe trice's one.

I also really don't like scotty basically being like 'told you guys'. Calling your shot on someone being civilian is the easiest thing to do in the world since a) most people are and b) all baddies have an even higher percentage shot of being right (in this case 15/16); but

c) bragging about it afterwards is the equivalent of discrediting a load of people, even when at least half of them are town, and d) not only does it discredit, but it also puts the focus squarely on 'who voted for a civilian to die' instead of 'who is bad' which are not necessarily the same thing.

I'll be all for looking to see if any inh votes are uninspired. But when I last looked, there were four and all of them felt fair and well explained in the thread to me.

RIP, INH. Honestly, I hadn't spent much time looking at you or your case. I apologize for not further substantiating my thoughts on MM, but JJJ's explanation is pretty much my train of thought. Using a weak, time-based rationale that would've made the most sense for a timmer vote to vote me. I'll have to look at MM more closely in the next day phase.

What are you thoughts on Epi, Scotty, and INH?
As I've said before, Epi's gimmick renders him pretty much impossible to read at this point. I lean town for the sheer reason that he's not actively attempting to mislead the town's efforts in thread. Scotty seems authentically annoyed, and I like him avoiding the INH vote. I also like his challenges to BWT. Stronger town read than on Epi. And INH is, unfortunately, irrelevant at this point.

I'm interested in why MP is the self-proclaimed Mother Theresa this game, and is getting a pass for listing off civs.
:suspish:

And where are you getting that impression about me? Do you think my behavior has been suspicious? If so, what's your beef with me, man?
You made a series of posts back in 1996 (aka the first few pages of this game) where you expressed your lack of confidence in calling out people for being bad so you instead would resort to calling people good.

Anyone can call anyone good. You may be an idiot savant with calling people good correctly more often, but this isn't alignment indicative and I feel like it's an easy cop out for scum hunting.

Not to say you aren't scumhunting, but that pinged me hard.
Does not compute.

Both the orange statements and yellow statements seem contradictory within colors. Try me again.
Ah I see what you mean- yep that was a stream of consciousness post that made sense when I wrote it. What I meant was that it wasn't a good example of being civ. I thought I was clear at the time but I can see where you might have thought I was changing my opinions in the same breath. Does that clear things up for you?

And Golden: wow. I just read your analysis of my playing personality and found it hilarious, so I shared it with my girlfriend. Her response? "I don't care, get this out of my face" hahahaha what s kidder I love her.

I do not believe scotty didn't look at his PM. It's possible he just said he didn't for playful fun, but his tone is not one of playful fun. But Scotty takes his team duty seriously and wouldn't not check in my opinion.

Thats fine. You don't have to believe me, and I would be naive to think you would.i made reads without any context and it was quite freeing. I do take my team duty seriously, but I also don't mean getting civ cred if I call them out early. As soon as Day 1 started, I did look at my role, which, again, you don't have to believe. I didn't check in Psych (not mad max like I thought- thanks for clarifying, JJJ- until somewhere in day 2. This time I figured I wanted to be involved more in the case that I was bad and was pissing off my teammates. Still not bad.

Add to that, I have a tonal issue with scotty. Trice just described him as 'arrogant', but no, this is not normal scotty. The scotty I'm used to is a town force who maintains a certain level of 'tipping his hat' to everyone else. Arrogance is not something I associate with him in the slightest.

thanks, m'lady! *tips fedora*

What's more, from my perspective, Scotty has a habit of getting himself into early trouble when bad. I don't agree with whoever said he is a 'bullseye', because I don't think scotty gets lynched early very often. But I can recall twice he got himself into early trouble - red vs blue and Lost Again season 1. In each of these games my perception is that he was playing a pretty decent game (and trying to replicate town scotty) but got himself caught up in contradictions.

i also tend to get myself in trouble early when good. I'd be remiss to think I could get through a day 1 without a vote towards me. I think the past few times I got in trouble when bad were circumstantial and not a direct correlation. Just unlucky. My "getting caught up in contradictions" as you say, is just an unfortunate side effect of either posting while commuting or between scenes in my show. I'm actually feeling depressed right now in the sense that I've got a lot of personal things I'm deadline with but still committing to 4 games at once. So sue me if I contradict myself sometimes. If that's suspicious by itself, then lynch me. I've got enough on my plate as is.

The Scotty I see at the start of this game is not a scotty I've seen before. But Scotty has no need to mix up a town game that serves him well. On the other hand, he seems to get caught early as a baddie. My impression is that this 'distant' scotty (my read of what Trice is seeing as slightly arrogant, I think) is his attempt to mix up his baddie game and not get caught.

:rolleyes: you haven't seen this day 0 Scotty before? How absolutely obvious, because I was just a neutral party making reads.

Add to that, he's getting caught in contradictions again.

:sigh:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having said all of that about scotty, my vote for inh was more than a 'no u'. I do apologise for my mini meltdown, but to me there is only so many times that you can criticise everyone else for 'not creating meaningful content' while doing nothing yourself.

Jay pointed out that inh 'described mafia' when criticising what others were doing. I agree.

He does things like call out the sig votes as having 'no thread basis' despite criticising the things people are trying to do to establish a thread basis for their votes.

I see it being very plausible that inh is bad and someone... probably not sig... is taking heat for what inh considers to be bullsuit reasons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm genuinely torn between which to vote for. Scotty is generally the one of these two I find easiest to read long term, and I do feel as though he has lacked opportunity to contribute so far. On the other hand, he seems like the much more likely place to get some sort of vague consensus, which means my vote has a higher chance of relevance.

Woof, im easiest to read long term, am I? Guess I should change it up. :grin:

On the other hand, I find inh potentially much more insidious as I do not really know if he ever creates content, and so I don't know what I would hang him on later if he is bad. I also feel as though inh flipping bad would tell us more than scotty would, because I get the sense inh is old school and that defending teammates by implication on day one is definitely something he would do. But he is much less likely to be lynched.

So, with that dilemma in mind....

I'm going to leave my vote on inh, because I have more conviction about him, and if I happen to get some time in the morning I'll revisit it then.
I think deep down you voted for INH and not me because you know you're throwing mud at me for unsubstantiated reasons and even you don't believe it. INH was still a nothing case, and such is why day 1 lynches are generally hogwash. This little diatribe poses as a criminal breakdown from a warped psychologist. I think I'd leave the doctor stuff to the real Wilgy in this game.

I don't much like the epi votes. Except maybe trice's one.

I also really don't like scotty basically being like 'told you guys'. Calling your shot on someone being civilian is the easiest thing to do in the world since a) most people are and b) all baddies have an even higher percentage shot of being right (in this case 15/16); but

c) bragging about it afterwards is the equivalent of discrediting a load of people, even when at least half of them are town, and d) not only does it discredit, but it also puts the focus squarely on 'who voted for a civilian to die' instead of 'who is bad' which are not necessarily the same thing.

I'll be all for looking to see if any inh votes are uninspired. But when I last looked, there were four and all of them felt fair and well explained in the thread to me.
What??! How is "well there ya go" in any way "I told you guys"? How is that bragging about it? Show me where I bragged about you all being wrong.

Now you're just putting words in my mouth and manipulating this away from you and the other INH voters so you don't have to take responsibility for your votes. Yes, civs make the wrong votes all the time. Of course they do. But I already feel like you, JJJ, Sloonei and Mp have all come after me on day 1 for bullsuit reasons and I find it manipulative. Couple that with the fact that I don't trust you guys, makes me think at least 1 or a couple of you might be bad. Just because I haven't had a tennis match where I've spewed 5028 posts in the matter of 24 hours doesn't mean I can't make reads off of votes.

I didn't know INH was gonna flip good, but I definitely didn't think he would flip bad. So get off your high horse, golden.

Love, Scotty :cloud9:
