Jesus, (a personal friend of mine, since I am dead) Diqnol and Merk the two of you have had this back and forth many times regardless of alignment and I think it eats up a lot of the focus of day one needlessly.

I have plenty of time, as I am a ghost.

I've tuned like 80% of it out because it feels like the same stuff over and over.

Just wanted to come back and respond to this post. I guess I can see where you're coming from but I don't think I agree at the moment. It's certainly something I will keep in mind.

Also, I'm not sure if I completely agree with the last sentence. Since generally speaking a townies power lies in his vote, I feel like an acceptable use of that power is to pressure someone into putting forth some effort.

Is that what you think that he was doing though? Because that wasn't how it seemed to me.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

Ok, you defended merk as not being scummy, just casing, and called out Diqnol. I agree with you, just remarked it was interesting. It stood out in my first read. As for "backing", it was perhaps a poor word choice.


I'm still not through a second, deeper read of everything that's happened, we had a minor emergency around the house (at least, I don't think toilets are supposed to leak water out of the tank onto the ground constantly) and I wasn't able to finish before work. Here's a list of the people I've been looking at the closest as I do my read;

Jedit, Diqnol, Kash, Rarity, QPQ, ljtrigirl

I'll try and respond to current events a little at work, then finish my reread when I get home.

I look forward to your conclusions, especially on Kash. He pinged me early on for loudly bandwagoning a lot but has sense blended into the background.

But you've spend more posts on him than anyone else, if I remember. And he has way more vote pressure right now.

I guess I just think that, if he is scum, you are bussing him here based on your interactions and the way that you've pressured him.

TMMadman posted:

Hmm. You make a good point, but I guess it kind of depends on the player being pressured. Personally, I responded and engaged with Gamer because he seemed calm and inquisitive. I didn't particularly care for the vote going along with it, but I accepted it as just a vote to ensure I followed through with my promise.

Frankly, I don't think I would have responded well at all to being called an rear end in a top hat a bunch of times. I probably would have completely refused to acknowledge him or gone off the rails trying to slam him down. So in this case his approach to get my to respond was the correct way, so maybe that is coloring my opinion of him right now.

I want to lynch PM here or maybe Kashuno. Lumpen's recent stuff has been good enough that I'll at least give him until tomorrow.

I'm kind of torn about diq and Merk. I think Merk's case on diq is better, but diq's frustration has felt genuine whereas Merk just kind of feels like he's sitting back and drumming his fingers together. And I really didn't like his pushback about me figuring out that diq = pizza because of posts because that feels like a really obvious thing to figure out. On the other hand, I feel like some of the engagement and votes on diq has seemed kind of bus-y to me. I think I'm leaning towards scum!diq, but I'd really rather focus on other people because I feel like most of their conversaitons have been alignment neutral.

I still think that TMM is good. I think I've come around on Rarity. I think Keane might be good too, which is a definite change over before. I like the way he's switched between lightheartedness and content, and I like the places he's chosen to interject.

That a terribad mindset. Goods should be paying attention to it just as much if not more. Votes are our weapons. And multiple ones are more powerful than singletons.

Besides, you need a bunch of people voting with you to lynch someone.

If it's deadline I agree with you, but shouldn't we be voting our #1 scumread other than that?

I get your argument about how it was unclear to you why I wasn't voting diqnol, but to say that it's surprising because of voting pressure? It irks me.

I think that would accurately portray my thoughts on Diqnol. He is no longer my #1 scumread (obviously) but I would still vote for him because I think he is scummy.

Those are the two statements in question and I think it should be obvious that the implication is yes I felt he was just pressuring me to put forth some effort.

For me, I just didn't see the move as very scummy at the time, so I wanted to explore why others felt that way. I can see their points, but I'm not sure I agree with it in this case.

Sadly, I don't have enough time to keep up a decent posting gimmick. Life can be cruel at points, but so it goes.

Looking over things, I really think that the conversation between merk and diqnol makes it impossible for me to readily discern alignment. I lean town for diqnol, but upon further contemplation and reading, I now have a solid null read on merk. Gamer is the one who has emerged as the most false thus far, and I feel like he is the most likely scum out of everyone today.

I'm also uncertain about Hal and Samfucious; Hal mostly on account of his being nice to me. People who are nice to me are rarely town. Sam is more of a tone issue. There's something about his posting that just makes my gut rumble, I can't put my finger onto anything in specific, but I think he's worthy of further examination in the future.

For the time being, though, I'm quite content with my vote on Gamer.

Because my interactions this game has been poking someone for trying to get people to post without having content themselves and then swatting someone for being scum.
