And yet, I'm punished for playing by the rules of the game because apparently no one thought someone was capable of remembering that. It's a lovely argument no matter which way you swing it

And you're still sniping without voting. Scummmmmmm

People are misled because they're putting it in a day 2 context that didn't exist day 1 when I made the post

If they had made your argument, that it was a backdoor escape, I would actually concede the point. That's pretty loving scummy. But that's not why they're saying it's scummy, so yes, I am upset by their illogical reasoning

So vote me. You pretty much say that you will. And you aren't. Which is hypocritical for a guy calling on me for fence sitting

You're not voting me because you want to see if this is going to gain traction. And that's loving scummy, hence my vote on you

Spoonsy is still a good vote too, but since he said he had real-life issues I'd rather give him a chance to contribute/replace.

Squiggly on the other hand has said plenty today and I really don't buy "oh that was an obvious joke" line about the one vote but even if it was he's spent way too much time on an awkward defense of himself and what little looking he has done for scum is pretty forced.

Squiggly posted:

I DONT JUMP OFF OF A VOTE ITS NT A REAL VOTE MY ONLY VOTE IS ON QUID STOP BEING SO loving DENSE

Ok I'm awake and less groggy than last night and actually, I'm sorry Squiggly but this is actually really damning. It's a pretty convoluted defense, where the natural answer would've been you forgot or something and I don't think anyone would've cared. It's made worse by the fact that you mis-voted gamer purposefully and the only saving grace is perhaps your reasoning is so complicated that it may be true, but simplicity I think is key and I feel you got caught in a lie and are back peddling hard.

You say you didn't like the post and wanted to prod gamer, but there are so many other ways to do that than fakely voting. I think you were serious about the vote. Even if we're to take you seriously and accept it as a tactic it's a pretty bad one and nothing, absolutely nothing, would've been lost by laying a 100% real vote on gamer. The fact that you're trying to be clever about it is super weird and unnatural.

Now you say that your two cases, the real one on QPQ, and the prod one on gamer are really different of quality and distinguishable in their own right. And while it's true there's less accusation in the gamer, the fact that you look for back-up in regards to QPQ really weakens your vote to the point that it's not really all that much better than the fake-gamer vote. The two votes are presented below:

The points merk and other make on bussing can stand but that's not something I'm as good at reading and so I'm not looking into that, it's this "not" vote thing that's the worst and most damning thing I've seen all game so far.

So with that in mind, as much as I dislike merk's arrogance (seriously I think you're a lot of fun to play with but tone that down, it's unpleasant), I think he has a point. More can likely be said about Squiggly but I think it'll be re-treads or other players like me discovering for themselves his scumminess. Your claim would move us past this discussion and onto a new one.

Like, asking the group if you should hammer absolves you of any responsibility if he flips town. You're making it look like you're doing this for the good of the town instead of owning your vote. That is so incredibly lame.
