NETA: I don’t know what OaOW’s motivations would be. The misspelling tactic is a weird road to go down for a scum, I’ll admit. And it’s not like OaOW is a noob who would do something odd or do an OMGUS vote. But honestly, I do think that trying to go down the misspelling path again is very anti town. It just makes absolutely no sense and it’s way distracting.
I’m not going back and forth with you and wasting everybody’s time, ed. I stated my reasons.
If you’ve got something better it would be absolutely swell if you’d out with it finally.
So how many players do we need to lynch for distracting you in anti-town ways, Freudian?
unvote TexCat
vote Freudian, vote magnet or no.
So, you argue that someone did something because they are Scum…and then when pointed out there’s little Scum motivation to do so…your response is, well, just because they aren’t Scum for my reason doesn’t mean they aren’t Scum is kinda foolish, no?
Well, OK, granted we do have to find reason for people acting as they do. I just think you can’t defend people by saying they can’t be scum because scum would never do x.
Dude, Tom, what is with this vote? She points out anti-town behavior and you vote for her?
WTF?
I don’t have a vote on record for the day and Tom’s the first one to really ping me with his lame vote there, so I’m gonna lay one down.
Vote Tom Scud
Well, let’s see. Yesterday, she spends all day going … oh peeker is anti-town and confusing, but I don’t think he’s scum, so I won’t vote for him… but then she finds a reason to vote for him. Lo and behold, peeker is Town.
Then she starts off the day voting Meeko on fairly specious grounds, and draws a couple votes for it.
Then as soon as a wagon starts on someone else, she’s right there. And conveniently neglects to mention that her vote pushes her out of the vote lead, while we’re at it. And her justification is some vague waffle about anti-town.
This looks distinctively opportunistic to me.
NETA (and on preview I see you’ve voted me. Whatevs.)
Bleah. NETA “distinctly opportunistic”. (Stupid 60 second rule)
I’ll be quite happy voting for OAOW, you just happened to be the one I spotted first.
As for Tom, his slip is independent of yours, and regardless of how you flip, he’s gonna get my vote eventually too.
I’m not sure if I should be subbed out–I have the ability to read and post, but my head is totally not in the game. I can’t even remember who I ended the day voting for yesterDay.
Well, I genuinely thought that Chronos made a good argument for voting for peeker. And he IS anti town in every game he plays in. You know that.
I don’t think my vote for Meeko was specious. His defense of Kelly was specious to my mind.
I changed my vote because OaOW seemed a LOT scummier, and because it wasn’t likely my vote for Meeko was going to make any headway. I’m still keeping my eye on him, but for now, I’m going with someone who pings me more.
Hey, everyone.
Any opinions on what Tom is pushing against Freudian?
Freudian does seem to be going from target to target with weak cases and poor reasoning.
special ed, I voted for red and then I changed to peeker. Today I voted for meeko and then one and only. I don’t know that that’s jumping, but isn’t it better that I vote for whom I think is scummiest rather than just staying put for the sake of looking less suspect? Besides, other people have voted for those people. Why are you only calling me out for having a “weak” case?
Tom and Jimmy have both been pinging me. Tom, I think may be just OMGUS pinging. Although the night thread slip could very well be a real slip. Jimmy has been pinging me since he did not agree with the name claim, was reluctant to tell us his name, and was one of the last to do so. I also do not like his vote on Wanderers.
I don’t find anything in Wanderers’ post particularly scummy. He is merely speculating on NAF’s death, and naturally his speculation would wander to his retracted vote on NAF. Is he trying to point to Meeko being scum, and if so, why didn’t he join Freudian in a Meeko vote?
I’m not sure what to make of Freudian. Her behavior does look a lot like scum trying to start a bandwagon. But she pointed out Tom’s slip and so I don’t think both Tom and Freudian are scum, and Tom’s been pinging me, so I’m willing to give Freudian the benefit of the doubt for the moment. Hell, I don’t know, I could very well be wrong about everybody.
Vote: Jimmy Chitwood
for not wanting to name claim and for his vote on Wanderers on reasoning that was suspicious.
Tom? I’ve been after Freudian for this since Day One!
Good, good.
But again, I wasn’t the only person on those people. On day one I voted for Red and peeker. I don’t remember if anyone else was pro voting red, but chronos voted for peeker. He started that case. Was he suspect? Or just me?
I’m interested in what people think about the case against you. I guess I wasn’t really thinking about asking you for your reaction, but I appreciate your thoughts
I do believe your reasoning has been weak for your votes, but I’m not necessarily holding that against you.
If i had to venture a guess as to other people’s reasons for suspecting you more than other people who have voted in the same fashion as you, it would be because of this:
and then this:
Now, on the surface, it just looks like 4 weak votes (and, again, weak isn’t necessarily a scummy thing on Days 1 & 2)
However, the vote on Red almost immediately followed TexCat’s vote on red. and put Red in the lead over Oredigger, OAOW, peeker and TexCat.
The switch to peeker later pushed him into the lead over Texcat (when peeker had momentum and red obviously had none).
ToDay, the early vote on Meeko might be viewed as opportunistic. It didn’t get any traction either. And when Jimmy voted for OAOW, you were quick to support it and after Oredigger bought in, you added your vote. It pushed Oredigger into the lead over you and Texcat and Zeriel.
Then, later, when MHaye questioned the very basis of your suspicion of OAOW, your response was basically, ‘OK, my reasoning for voting OAOW may be bad, but that doesn’t mean he’s Town’ Hardly a resounding support for your vote, because it also doesn’t mean OAOW is any more likely to be Scum.
