i spiteful comment is rewarded with a spiteful vote. 

 

seriously though, i actually forgot that you made that comment. i reread the last few pages of the previous day though and i remembered about it while browsing.

 

There was no spite.

I'm just letting you know that you don't have to repeat what I said in response to the post I said it in as if I did not say it.

Hence are you telling me or yourself.

 

However it is a bit silly to take that to vote, somewhat childish.

For being somewhat ignorant, but to me.

The problem is that you do not understand the usage of "personally". Due to that fact you contradict yourself by saying you don't want to lynch him later. We already had that discussion and it did not reach a satisfactory conclusion, you just argued the meaning of the word rather than explaining the change of heart. For this reason you are the most suspicious. The fact that you are trying to act so horribly wronged by me for my vote is actually a little sad. Nice OMGUS vote though to try to convince us of your towniness.

I think DarkIceDragon is the best choice for lynch today.  As the number of players is reduced, we need active townies to secure a lynch.

 

I'm echoing this

There was no change of heart, in my first post I say it exactly as I meant it knowing what it means.

At no point was there a change of heart, all my posts follow the same flow of logic.

I'm not acting wronged, I am wrong.

I had no idea I would be dealing with people who could not understand what the word "personally" meant fully.

 

The problem is that your ignorance is too much for me to deal with, I feel punching myself in the face every time someone fails to comprehend the English used.

[KevinH]

... I am wrong.

 

 

Quote for truth! Or did I fail to comprehend the English used?

[Commander Shepard]

I'm not sure if KevinH is scum or just.... ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous. 

I have no word for his behavior, it certainly isn't the same player I saw previously.

His behavior is hardly comparable to the last game, he certainly wasn't talking crap and then not responding in regards to the same crap he is talking about.

 

 

I don't think Commander Shepard is the best lynch option, even if he is currently voting to lynch the player that he now says he doesn't want to lynch today.

 

Above is kind of crap he is talking about.

He said I was voting to lynch Imran, when there wasn't a single period of time that I was voting Imran.

I'm not going to comment on the latter part as he confused about the word "personally" or at least is acting like he is.

 

 

Quote for truth! Or did I fail to comprehend the English used? 

 

No, you quoted a part of a sentence in my rushed post that I did not fix for errors.

Below is the full sentence.

 

I'm not acting wronged, I am wrong.

 

But please continue to act silly.

[Commander Shepard]

I am certain KevinH is a piece of scum and would gladly get lynched today to help the town share my belief that he is indeed a piece of scum.

By god we need to be lynching scum soon, continuing to lynch random inactives is not going to help us get the scum and win.

 

 

KevinH, CoD and Imran(if not proven to be townie by day 3) are good lynches for Day 3.

KevinH, definitely should be lynched given there are no other strong leads on scum.

[KevinH]

I'm not sure if KevinH is scum or just.... ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous.

 
First it's "I'm not sure ..."
 

I am certain KevinH is a piece of scum and would gladly get lynched today to help the town share my belief that he is indeed a piece of scum.

 
Then it's "I am certain ..."

What changed in those nine minutes?

That was a rhetorical question, it doesn't need to be answered.

We need active townies, we don't need to lynch the few active players that might be able to win as the game ends.

Lynching Commander Shepard and learning that he is town will prove nothing other than he was a townie that had a belief.
 

To answer the "ridiculous" points:

• I was confused about the vote on Imran. However, consider that my statement was made as took my vote off of Commander Shepard. The point is that I want active players.
• There was a smiley after the "I am wrong" quote. Even with the "I'm not acting wronged" introductory clause, it's still funny.

[Commander Shepard]

After I wrote you being ridiculous, I had a thought about it and decided that no townie would be that ridiculous.

It got answered, deal with it.

 

No, we need to lynch me.

I can not survive into Day 3, the scum will try to lynch me then and start a rally against me which will waste a day for lynching.

And then we need to lynch the most likely person to be scum, KevinH is that person provided Imran is proven to be townie.

CoD is another good candidate for lynching. 

Lynching me is not going to the harm the town from winning provided that they take my advice.

[KevinH]

Your advice is to lynch me?  That will not help the town.
 
When there is nothing to say, then that is the time to say nothing.
 
There once was a player named Shepard
Who didn't do much as a shepherd
"Lynch me" he said
Then townie be dead
As useful as spots on a leopard

[Chaplain of death]

So let me ask just one question here before I continue to hold my vote on you for your scummy behavior. Is English your second language? I don't mean that as an insult believe me, but I have to ask.

No, but clearly it must be in the process of being your second. 

[Chaplain of death]

Actually nothing I've said has been a misuse of the English language. And I definitely wouldn't argue that someone is scum just because I misused a word, I would have clarified my meaning rather than arguing the usage of the word. You are now using personal attacks simply because you made a mistake that we have recognized and pointed out and you apparently think that this makes us terrible people. 

 

If you continue to make these personal attacks then I would recommend that the mod remove you and that you wait awhile before joining another one of the games. I don't like the idea of keeping someone from playing in our games, and I haven't witnessed it happen on these forums yet as people are usually fairly nice, but you are definitely pushing the boundaries right now.

 

This is first and foremost, a game. Please do not get offended just because you made a mistake and we pointed it out. You may have intended to say something different but word choice is part of the game. KevinH is poking fun at you because you are getting angry with him for a mistake you made rather than owning up to it and explaining what you meant. That does not make KevinH a horrible person, hes trying to make light of the situation so that you calm down and stop with the needless insults.

Me too.

The case against CS seems to merely be his inconsistent use of the English language. He also talked like that in the previous game though when he was a town PR. So IMO it's definitely not a scum tell and I'm pretty sure he's a townie. However, we need to at least lynch somebody and with the clock running out it seems that CS is now the only viable option. So, whatever...

Vote: CS

Sorry CS, I believe that is a hammer.

You haven't made any points, you keep speaking about how I am wrong and you're right.

No one is challenging the meaning of what the word means after I made all points.

All the evidence points to me being right.

 

People basically responding with "no" and making no points like you're doing is not something I care for.

In fact I'm pretty sure all your posts were worthless in that regard.

I'm not making any personal attacks, are you?

I don't go anywhere nobody else goes, so if I am making personal attacks then you must be too.

 

KevinH use his understanding of the word to attack my ingame image, basically saying I don't know what "personally" means, I make posts as to why he doesn't.

The exchange between me and KevinH was tame, he eventually had no point and I think he resorted to making jokes as you said.

While KevinH may think he is making me angry, I simply continue the exchange until it comes to an end.

There is no point quitting when you know you're most likely right, which is same thing I did with Imran. 

 

My exchange with you was less than good, as you were more aggressive in your posts and I simply responded to it in a similar manner.

Calling me sad, certainly doesn't speak volumes of being non aggressive.

.

I'm not offended at anything, you set the tone and I only play it.

The main problem is that it is a thin line, I don't know if your ignorance of the truth is scum tactic or simply what it is.

Which is partly to do with why I don't stop responding to you.

[Commander Shepard]

I was going to make this post earlier but nobody challenged that my desire to lynch Imran would carry over into this reality.

People seem to be confusing two very different sentences.

 

Below is what I said

 

Personally I'd lynch you right now on the spot,

 

Below is what people seem to be interpreting what I said 

 Personally, I would vote you right now on the spot,

 

 

Two very different sentences, the second sentence implies heavily I will try to lynch Imran even if others are involved as my vote belongs to me and no other person can decide my vote.

In that case me wanting to lynch Imran is very strong and I would probably be voting him if I said that.

 

However in the first sentence which is what I wrote.

Lynching is not a decision that belongs to me in this game and hence it is an alternate reality scenario that doesn't exist for us.

Would that wanting to lynch Imran carry over to this reality where the group picks a target to lynch, it is questionable and certainly possible as it is not ruled out.

Evidently it did not cross over for me wanting to lynch Imran today as I made no effort to do so and did not vote to lynch him.

KevinH was confused about the voting for one reason or another and thought I was voting Imran, that shows why he thought I wanted to lynch Imran today.

 

That sentence doesn't really need the word "personally", as anyone who thought about it would know that I do hold the power to lynch and that I did not have a desire to try to lynch Imran today, from the following posts that I made.

The word "personally" only really highlights what the following words state.

But it also highlights that it would be an individual decision from me to lynch Imran in that scenario. 

[Euclid of Alexandria]

Let it go Shepard. Nobody agrees with your interpretation of the word personally. You can take that as a sign of their malevolent game play or as a sign that you might be wrong. Whatever suits you best (it's the latter though).

I'm not going to go to someone who has English as their second language to find out if something is right or wrong as it is very unlikely they know.

I would rephrase the words you used in the previous game "butt out please" but I am more polite than that.

 

In the previous game we argued over what something Imran said actually meant, which is somewhat similar to this.

You did not understand what he meant and attacked him for it, I simply pointed out what he meant and your false understanding of the English he used.

So I'm sure you can understand if I do not think you're the best person to be giving out opinions as to what the English means.

 

 

But really you should listen to what you said in the previous game "I'm not gonna discuss semantics with you"

Then don't even try.
