OK, I don’t think you understand what smudge means either.

**Yes I do.**

Joey here is trying to smudge me, and say that I ALWAYS play like that. Well, I had nothing to compare it to. And I know my play, in terms of post clarity improved in LOST.  
Meeko happens to be sober today

Is LIGHT YEARS different from

Meeko is a teetotaler.

If I am the latter, and you say the former, then YES you are smudging.

No, there’s a difference between smudging and being wrong.

Offering an opinion, even if far from the truth, is not the same as a smudge.

Joey pointed out something you said and something you did in your very third game as being poor play and consistent with what you did in your very first game.

It’s his opinion.

A smudge is usually described as trying to make someone appear Scummy without really saying anything about them.

(Forgive me, NAF, if I get this wrong). It is like saying: “Meeko is playing a great game. He has good analysis and seems to be acting in Town’s best interest. But then, isn’t that what you’d expect from a savvy Scum?”

Do you see how I didn’t make a case against you. Didn’t point out anything you did wrong, but you are still left with the feeling that I called you Scum?

I am not going further into this conversation.

Ed, you have my vote for now. I think I made my point(s) as clear as I could. (I honestly would like input here from someone I do not know.)

For all I know, Ed, you could be WIFOMing me right now, while talking about WIFOM and then also voting me.

You probably wanted a reaction. You got this much of one, and this is where you an I stop talking about this.

Meeko, “The Epitome of OMGUS” is NOT a good reason to vote. Well, sometimes it can be, but not like that. You came right out and said that you were voting for Ed only because he voted for you. You have given no other reasons why and from what I can tell, you are refusing to do so in the future. I REALLY want to vote for you, but at the moment, I don’t think you’re acting scummy.

I do. Kinda. And I also think that Meeko is going to be a massive distraction for as long as he is alive. He was the Scum MVP in Glyph and was very helpful to them in Lost. I’d rather we had people around that were providing useful content.

**Vote Meeko**

For a blatantly scummy OMGUS, for refusing to answer direct questions, and for being a massive anti-Town to the point of being Pro-Scum distraction.

**Voting for me doesn’t help me improve my play either.**

Well…you can improve your play AND get unvoted by doing what they are asking. Ed wants you to take it down a notch. Nanook would like you see you do the same AND either put GOOD reasons on your vote or take it back as well as answer questions that were asked of you.  
That’s how the game is played. When someone votes for you, they give reasons and/or ask questions. Upon answering questions and defending yourself the voter will then decide if they want to unvote you.

During this game a few people have mentioned that if it’s needed to break a tie, they would switch their votes. In general I’m against doing that\*.

Meeko, based on your last statement (post 311) you are not playing the game well. You’re not playing it at all. This is EXACTLY the type of stuff I’ve told you about in the first game and in this game, but you just can’t seem to stop. If needed to break a tie, Meeko, you’ll have my vote.

I honestly do not understand why Ed is voting for me. Or why anyone is voting for me.

What part of my explanation do you guys not get?

Seriously, you voted Ed and stated it was an OMGUS vote. When pressed for a reason it’s because Ed is an idiot, when I called you on it, you still didn’t defend it. Really, that’s how you are playing the game.

Aww fuckit. You’re making the game not fun.

Shhhh, the grown up are talking.  
But really. How about some solid reasons on exactly why you think Ed should be lynched toNight. Come up with that, and my vote goes back to Booze.
