Not only did he allow town to no-lynch he passed the buck to derp to avoid responsibility as well

I was pretty up-front about the fact that I was okay with a no-lynch there because I didn't like the merk vote. In a game where you're looking for an informed minority that knows everybody's alignment, being wrong about merk's isn't a scumtell.

Unless your theory is that merk and I sat down and decided this was the most effective way for us to blend in, in which case you're obviously paying less attention than I am.

You've done literally nothing this game (except totally hammer merk, for reals guys he did). You have less posts than the loving mod. Today is the first time you've actually sort of taken a stance on anyone. What posts you do have are dithering and deflecting (except for totally hammering merk)

Get lynched.

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.
I agree with the cases on zzyzx and Little Mac and think both of those guys are scum. I also think Dugong is scum.

He made several posts D1 about players (WO and EP in particular) where he talked around his opinion without providing it and had a light "wow that was a bad vig merk" comment, designed to look townie.

D2 he was almost non-existent, but did manage to turn up 2 minutes after deadline for the no-lynch on merk.

Today he's called YPM scum (who he's been sure is scum since D1) but hasn't voted him. Instead he voted KFC and then unvoted as soon as his vote got some pressure.

I'd be happy to lynch any of these 3 today.

Guys if we don't lynch FV I'm going to start crying.

If you want to get some new developments, look at merk's interactions with FV. I said at the time it was happening that I thought Merk was trying to protect FV (although admittedly for different reasons than reality). The only reason his plan didn't work is because of the vig. Otherwise we probably wouldn't have lynched him and would have been stuck in a rut.

Please lynch FV guys, it would make my Christmas.

Where you asked why I haven't gone through merk's history in any detail? Nobody's going to read it, which makes it kind of a waste of my free time. The votes on me aren't there because anybody thoughtfully decided that I'm the likeliest place to find merk's scum buddy (you've been around longer than that and you're not that dumb); it's the path of least effort after the no lynch yesterday.

I'm having trouble getting into the game, and my role's not particularly useful until later, and the town's in decent shape number-wise so far, so it's not the worst thing in the world. For whatever it's worth I'd still pick Chic along with KFC.

If I'm not that dumb then why wouldn't I be voting for where I'd thoughtfully decided the likeliest place to find merk's scum buddy was?

As for what you said earlier, being wrong about alignment isn't a scumtell (no poo poo sherlock), it's the manner you handled the no lynch that is.

You literally refused to vote merk yesterday, preferring to no lynch over voting merk. That makes you a pretty good scumbuddy candidate there, guy, so don't try to pretend that you're the path of least effort when there is a drat good reason you're -1 right now

Is there anything left to discuss before I hammer this scumbo?

I'd be happy to and I'll say right now FV being willing to jump on zyyzyx is one thing what's giving me pause, but Zyzzx' behavior is really inexcusably scummy --- it remains so.

So you still think Merk, under no real pressure, decided to balls out case a scumbuddy out of nowhere, who was also under no real pressure?

I wouldn't pass it off as impossible. Hypothetically, it'd be setting the ground work for later town cred. but hypothetically it could be just a case for the sake of appearing to contribute. Look at Chic to get a proper call on Chic.

The server was quiet for once. The time for a votekick was at hand; they were getting bored. Nobody seemed to know who to call the vote on until a courageous voice uttered into allchat, "Well, what about that tryhard?" Everyone took a moment to think about this, as they all knew exactly who the voice spoke of. He was untalented and he watched all the pro videos and never shut the gently caress up about them and was always giving tips to people who were better than him. It was agreed that they hated him, and so he was sent to hell via votekick without pomp or ceremony. Let it be said of the young man that before the server executed the votekick on him that he gave everyone a nice tip on how to improve aim through crosshair placement.

zzyzx, CS-Aligned Tryhard, has been votekicked off the server!

As tensions began to dissipate and the heat of the moment was lost to the bitter winds of winter, opinions started to fly that actually, that guy wasn't too bad. Sure, he was hopeless and stupid, but he was loyal. Loyal to CS. You don't find that everywhere. And the lag. The lag seemed to be getting worse! An anonymous kickstarter was made for the server indicating its anger. A regular quickly pledged a mousepad signed by Dignitas as tribute, and the kickstarter description language brightened noticeably. Time was running out.

It is now N3! You have 24 hours to submit your night actions!
