Your argument requires
-me to want to save Poque despite him wanting to die
-me and Poque to be scumbros both before and after the alignment change
(-or both Poque and dhd lying about the alignment change)
-me taking the risk of drawing attention to myself by using thunderdome specifically to save Poque knowing that he'd eventually flip scum

When the alternative would have been to do nothing?

Yes, and when Asiina brought up some of the same points I admitted that there were holes I hadn't considered.

CapnAndy posted:

Christ, do I actually have to defend myself, I thought that case was self-evidently silly

Because its entire lynchpin was that I've been paying attention at all

It's kinda hard to accept a defense of ignorance in a 73 page (at the time of this post) game, even this one. Especially when the case was that you treated me and Poque differently, and the defense would suggest you had no idea of anything Poque was saying. Look at the Post Counts, Poque and I are first and second respectively; if you know anything about anyone in this game, it should probably be us two just from sheer volume.

Puntification posted:

The OP doesn't specify what sort of lynch we are using maybe majority at the deadline got poque lynched? (mods feel free to clarify this). If true poque flipped goon so she should be without any abilities no?

CapnAndy is right that byer's case requires us to believe that he was following the game, which is flawed reasoning on a narrative-heavy case he did two things and byers tells us a story why, pretty weak.

I think we should play this as d1 of a new game more or less, I'm not saying every argument I've seen from people so far is dumb as gently caress but this sentence implies it.

I don't like anything about this post. Reseting the game is something scum would want to do, not town. Andy and Punt are both using the mature of the game to try and excuse Andy's actions, which is a blanket defense that could conceivably be used to excuse any action taken up until Saturday. I reject the idea that there isn't valuable information in the game up until the thread split, or that we should excuse prior play due to not paying attention. Lurking, maybe, but I'm pointing out something specific in Andy's post history.

I'd vote Rarity, but I feel Andy and Punt more. They're scummy in my eyes for actual content in their history, Rarity is scummy due to a lack of usual content, if that makes sense.

I want people to care about the game if "resetting" it could achieve that then it's worth suggesting it; I think merk's given up, ernie's AWOL, rarity's emoti-posting, capps says he's barely read the game, opop says he's got nothing, YPM says he has no clue what is happening, asiina is openly pining to be in the other thread... People are jumping on my suggestion because of the "scummy" implication but if there really is useful information in the 73 pages preceding us it doesn't seem like anyone's motivated enough to find it and I'd rather risk appearing scummy to make a change in a game that I feel is stalling than do nothing. The fact that people have jumped on it also runs against your point you're calling me scummy based on post-schism content.

The defence of Andy is tangential to my opinion your case was weak, you point out two things and talk about what it "means" but you can't actually demonstrate your opinions as fact so it's pure speculation and it's de-contextualised from the facts that second time around people will have less patience for someone scum-claiming when the first person to do it actually flipped scum and when dealing with a smaller group size it's less intimidating to speak your mind/follow the thread. Also you talk about the sheer volume of posts as a reason to have been paying attention to poque, I think it could equally be a reason to have started ignoring his posts.

Started ignoring implies he wasn't at first, and Poque was literally scumclaiming and self-voting from the beginning. You're defending Andy by saying things are "facts" that aren't; the fact is that Andy ignored Poque's claiming and self-votes and immediately voted for me when I did the same thing. There's a difference in approach between those two things, and the reason behind it will always be speculative. Your reasons are speculative, my reasons are speculative, the point is to make the best interpretation you can and present that to the thread. I've done so, you're trying to undermine that by labeling my case speculation and the defense as totally factual.

As for the first paragraph, I've read it twice and I literally don't know what you're trying to say at the end of it. It seems like you're saying you didn't really believe we should ignore the rest of the game, but made the suggestion to get the town moving. You made a similar statement when you pushed sos early in the game, that it was just to force content or change. I let the sos comment go because I could see that as a town move; I do not see how your suggestion is a town move, as it allows scum to excuse anything scummy they've done since the game started.

This thread has a lot of baggage and not a lot of useful content, if having a fresh start would motivate players to be active it was worth suggesting, but not only was it a suggestion, it was qualified as to not actually suggest I thought people had to ignore things they didn't want to.

That's a fair point, they are how I feel about the situations and so are factual from my perspective but it is misleading of me to have portrayed it that way. Andy's relative activity within the thread pre and post-schism does make me think that your argument is reaching for meaning on something that could be mere coincidence, to be clear I'm not actually calling him town I just don't find the argument convincing.

I get Punt's frustration at the lack of content and doing whatever he can to get people involved. He seems to be really against lurkers who are fine being lurkers, which annoys me too. You know that you aren't going to make the cutoff and apparently are okay with that? gently caress that. Why would scum care so much to try to get the thread moving when there is such apathy to coast off of?

I don't really understand the case against Andy. He treated Poque and Byers scum claims differently is what I gather the crux of it is. Let me re-read Andy and see if I see it.

Okay I re-read Andy. It didn't take much because he posted almost nothing and what little he did post is both useless and infuriating.

He did vote Poque right at the beginning of D1

CapnAndy posted:

Let's find out?

##vote poque

Then the only posts he makes between then and the thread splitting are posts saying he hasn't been reading the thread and has no intention to.

CapnAndy posted:

Jesus Christ I cannot keep up with over 200 new posts every time I check this thread

CapnAndy posted:

CapnAndy posted:

Okay I'm posting, has anything of value happened because I'm not reading all the bullshit I skipped, I was skipping it for a reason

And having no issues with being modkilled

CapnAndy posted:

Have I really because that's cool if so, but I don't see a TT/Hurt post about it.

And this bullshit post which makes me mad at him. Don't loving sign up if you aren't going to play. That is a lovely rear end thing to do and I wish you were modkilled for it and not allowed to play again.

CapnAndy posted:

Hey I was happy just lurking, I didn't make me post

Then the thread gets split and he actually starts participating.

CapnAndy posted:

Okay this seems a bit more interesting! Let's play mafia :)

At which point he votes for Byers and wants me to use my vig on Byers.

CapnAndy posted:

I don't really "get" this game, Byers are you really scumclaiming

CapnAndy posted:

##vote byers because he's scum? I guess?

CapnAndy posted:

Please shoot byers

And that's pretty much it, other than calling Byer's case stupid.

Let me put my thoughts in another post, this is gonna be long with all the quotes.
