Mii, myself & I
3 hours to deadline and I can see the cases (as small as they are) against Hazdoc and E-plus. I'm going to lay my vote on Hazdoc for 3 reasons;
1) Hazdoc has one serious post in the game in its entirety
2) Hazdoc's reason to vote me is less reasonable than E-Plus - not that I see what E+ saw in my interaction with LutR but lynching lurkers does make sense
3) Hazdoc is the current leader and we've got 3 hours left :P

Real talk, with 3.5 days gone and the vast majority of the game at 5 or less posts (1, at least, would have been prior to game start), you can say the majority of this game is lurking. There's one person with double digit posts and a only a second that is ahead of mod in post count. Holiday weekend and all so you can give or not give as much leeway with that as you want, but we've all contributed to how slow this game has been.

This is ironic considering he calls out votefinder for posting a summary post that says nothing. This is white noise at its finest.

I find it odd that you are attacking people for those posts in a weird and rapid fire fashion after having been absent from the thread and not generating content yourself.

Stand down, men! It's only smooching!

These are the things that I'm pondering:

1. There being no content is not surprising at all, and people being sad there is no content with a deadline looming is also not odd, but the amount of discussion on lurker lynches being a viable option right now is absolutely mind boggling. Town mindset is not "well we'll just cuddle someone I guess" it's "let's get some poo poo going!" There's a whole lot I've quoted that doesn't jive with that mindset, and far too much shrug-placency while feigning frustration at the lack of content.

2. I still don't like GG's weird self-consciousness at this point and would like an answer to why he is doing that, as I have asked.

3. BottleKnight I'm giving you a pass because the last time I was really certain you were scum I was 100% wrong and you are playing the same. But I don't understand some of what you are doing.

4. Kleedrac I don't understand that random AN lurker callout when most of the thread wasn't here and I would like to know why that was the direction you went, especially since you've been trying really hard to drive the narrative from what I can see. You should know better than that, so what gives?

5. Everything else I've mentioned I just am having a hard time wrapping my head around the "and why was this posted" aspect.

I don't believe you, because you have commented on absolutely nothing other than the Kleedrac/LotR exchange. Please give me your thoughts on basically anything because you are also doing that "driving the narrative" thing that Kleedrac is doing, but in a more "disengaged from everything while prodding stuff" sense.

Quidnose: This is scummy coming from you as you should know what I'm trying to do - I was vote-prodding someone. I wasn't voting someone and walking away - that I could see how it may look scummy. But I was involved - I've been around most of today - and I was prodding AN to post - once AN had posted I removed the prod as it wasn't necessary and Amni had posted in the interim. You're actively trying to blow this out of proportion and given that I'm currently tied for vote leader it looks a bit suspicious.

While I'm not a huge fan of lurker lynches until poo poo actually hits the fan and lurking is a serious no-no, lynching one now is not a terrible idea either. Admitted I've been doing a terrible job of paying attention to the meat of what people have been saying, if people have been resistant to lynching a lurker they're bad and should feel bad. Lurking is inherently anti-town, as you're not putting your neck out and getting crosshairs put on your head.

Of course, that's the reasoning behind my vote on Kleedrac earlier, to see if somebody would come out and call me on it, or on the flip side, agree with my bad logic and hence be an evil motherfucker themselves. Somehow instead I got bandwagoned with some suspect votes thrown on. Even better, IMO.

Perhaps I'm a bit :tinfoilhat: about this but seriously it reads like scum distancing themselves - your vote on me was now a joke? or a gambit? Causing discussion isn't the same thing as generating content. If I were to scumclaim right now as a gambit It would generate a lot of discussion (and a lot of votes on me) but all of that wouldn't be content as the lie makes it all useless!
