Yes I know that Peek. If you don’t like it, kindly persuade me that you and Krayz are Townies.

gd you are a good dad but fuck you are thick as a brick. although the **ed** being scum has crossed my mind. and the typical “i was just trying to get a reaction” thing is a tad bit tired as well.

and **naf** you don’t think i am that stupid do you? really, you post too little. oh fuck i better pick it up kind of shit wouldn’t stick out. and if i am scum you really think i want to stick out?

but like i said whenever i exit this beast at least that fucking bit of nonsense can get removed from the table forever.

I explained how I came to my conclusion about your vote. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

Peeker would you like to hop onto one of the lead wagons or are you content with that throwaway vote of yours?

Really? You’re going to quote me out of context? Really???

Here’s the actually post:

Why would you do this if you’re a villager? Time for you to die.

i don’t know what the fuck **krayz** is so how the hell would i do that? and shit although i know i am town from my pm ain’t so fucking clear how i can prove it either. apparantly i was scum because i wasn’t being antagonistic enough. well in the words of guns n roses “antagonize this mother fucker”.

you are going to have to define “throwaway”. when i vote i vote for scum. if the rest are too obtuse to realize it sounds like their problem, not mine. so if you are asking me would i hop onto a band wagon of someone that i am not convinced of being scum as opposed to voting for someone i am convinced is scum the answer is no.

Nah, it goes either way, depending on mod discretion. There’s no telling how it will be in this game, until it happens to someone in this game.

* * *

This is the current vote situation, +1 vote for **krayz** from **precambrian mollusc** that’s not yet counted:

I’m not buying the case on **krayz** for posting crazy. His approach strikes me as anti-town, but not pro-scum. I’m not willing to policy vote him for not making sense. I understand the case, but…no.

I just re-read **texcat** ’s posts, and I don’t see a case on him whatsoever. His summarizations of his interactions with **mykbot** that are in question are accurate IMO. It seems that **lilflower** either misunderstood or mischaracterized **texcat** ’s interpretation of **mykbot** ’s comments, and I don’t understand why there are still votes on **texcat**.

**peeker** ’s a tough read. I think his posting style is different than normal, but I’m not willing atm to attribute that to scummitude.

I read all of **silver jan** ’s posts, and I saw very little content. She voted for **peeker** in what seemed to me to be an opportunistic fashion, and hasn’t done much else but complain about people voting her. I am as happy with a vote on her as I am on my current votee.

**unvote mahaloth**  
**vote silver jan**

this is scummy. anyone who votes for a bandwagon just to get on on said bandwagon is either spineless town or scum. both of which town is better off eliminating.

my two cents, of course.

I think the question is whether you would vote for someone actually in danger of being lynched so that you could save yourself.

Perhaps “not true” was not strictly a correct statement, but nevertheless, your assessment struck me as that of someone who hadn’t noted the previous discussion. Since the general view has been that **peeker** is posting differently than he usually does when he’s Town, if you’d paid attention to the arguments, I’d expect the tone of your statement to be more of a refutation than the simple declaration you offered.

I agree with this, certainly vote worthy.

Was hoping that this wouldn’t be pointed out, but yeah.

He’s already answered though.

He’s unfortunately not looking that bad to me though. May have to switch. Still don’t like krayz or tex though and don’t feel like silver has done enough for me to push him late.
