Uh... context? If this is for my post length that's kindof an established joke by now But I think getting organized merited the list.
I am once again ~~asking for your financial support~~ on mobile, so I apologize for quoting the entire message.
I’m not sure what to tell you about my late post lol [...]
As per me “staying off of the wagon,” and “not expecting it to be taken so hard,” I again point to my late post. If I was scum, I wouldn’t have said a word and nobody would be questioning me becuase I could’ve just said that I was too busy and forgot or some other excuse, but I came in to give an answer that was my straight out opinion.
I’m not entirely sure what you guys think is wrong with “I think the actions Kevin took were scummy, but ultimately were done with the intention of pro-town,” because I think some people misconstrued what he RC’d for in the first place. Somebody questioned if there was a set kill list of people with the infinity stones, or if iSoc was chosen at random/for another reason, and he wanted to help clarify that there was a killing action taken and that iSoc didn’t just die. Granted I don’t think he should’ve RC’d for it, and it was a scummy action to do so *in hindsight,* but I didn’t at the time think he did it with anti-town intentions.
First off, I chuckled at the Bernie reference here. I'll give you humor points at least.
I snipped most of your second paragraph because it all appears to boil down to excuses that don't help your case or discuss the content of your D2 post itself. The hypothetical that you could have stayed inactive is much the same - you may be right that people may not have paid as much attention to you if you'd just been quiet, but it WOULD have been negative attention. What matters is what you DID post - rushed or not, tired or not, needed to or not - and WHAT you posted drew attention.
To respond specifically to your first line, the problem we have is that your D2 post was as follows:
"I think kevin was acting scummy, but not necessarily to a point where I’d hammer him now that he’s at 6 votes and deadline being so close."
Which reads very differently than:
“I think the actions Kevin took were scummy, but ultimately were done with the intention of pro-town”
Your D2 comment doesn't include the pro-town backtrack at all. It reads as though you were agreeing with the majority that Kevin was scummy but avoiding an official vote to that effect. On D3 you have tried to claim your D2 post meant something very different. Obviously anyone on the Kevin wagon will point to the awkwardness of his claim to excuse their involvement, but here you are trying to claim you were never for lynching Kevin at all - changing your story instead of just regretting that the wagon was wrong - and that's quite a reversal that doesnt seem to be supported by your original text.
Combined with the fact you avoided voting at all, your D2 post reads like you were scum posting when prompted by Brewers so that you wouldn't appear inactive, siding with the majority to not draw attention or be controversial, and avoiding scum vote stacking on the already packed Kevin wagon.
These people need to start taking sides. Instant FoS to anyone who doesn't vote today, and we only have a few more RL days until the day ends. Don't necessarily need everyone to vote right this minute, but some of these people haven't even posted today, much less given any FoS or indicated who they're suspicious of.
Agreed on this point. Especially after Velocity's point of "I could have stayed inactive", I dont want to give a pass to those who are doing just that. Imran and Velocity themselves are at least involved in the conversation, but iSoc2 is my #2 suspect pending a post. Much like Velocity I want to see an explanation for their D2 end post. It seems very odd to have dropped an attack on LWW like that then go silent.
@TW: Is it possible to get a mod poke for iSoc2? This is one hell of a loose end to leave hanging, unless he really does need replacing.
I'm surprised those of you who have experience playing with each other are accepting any type of excuses of "just making mistakes" from experienced players like Velocity. From what I understand, Velocity is one of the most skillful scum players there is, although the rules do not permit me to bring up past games, I think you all know the history. Good players generally don't make mistakes unless its on purpose.
Even now I'm starting to doubt my vote for Robert and find myself wanting to vote for brewers again, not because I have any type of evidence, but rather I believe he is a skillful player that likely would have been taken out in the first two nights if not scum. Any one of us can claim a distain for brewers, @everyone in discord, sending dicks to people on day 1, spam posting just because, breaking #counting chains, everyone's got a legitimate reason to vote him off, a brewers night kill would give us nothing to go on, but yet he remains and the longer his is around the more suspicious it is.
I'm also surprised that I'm still around, with my wild swings, I've bound to have named a few scum in these first few days. From my perspective, as an inexperienced player to this group, scum likely view me as a low priority threat, people who have voted for me in the past are likely townies since its not worth swinging the town to vote off a low priority target early on when you can get someone like Kevin voted off instead.
My biggest threat is being voted off by my own town members. Yet I remain consistently inconsistent. I agree with the "follower" diagnosis but not for the same reasoning. I am much more likely to jump on a wagon. relying on others justifications to make sense simply because I don't have much to go off of in terms of intuition with my lack of playing time with everyone else in this game.
And that's where I leave my vote, once again, believing that those who have presented a legitimate case against me must be townies, and those that have not, must see me as a low priority threat.
Unvote
Vote: Brewers
First off on the subject of "just making mistakes" - this is a thing people do. Scum have the added burden of keeping their story straight and generally playing with the guilty knowledge of who their allies are and that everyone else is town. The more they post in an attempt to appear to be scum-hunting and look town, the more they expose themselves to slipping up and contradicting themselves or revealing knowledge they're not supposed to have. Experience or not, anyone can do this - especially if, as Velocity claims, he was tired and posting in a hurry.
You are definitely all over the place, and that's not exactly a compliment in a game that is intended to rely on a certain amount of observation and logic rather than just gut feeling. Inconsistency, flipflopping, and changing your story - like when Velocity makes a post that reads one way and then tries to correct it after the wagon resolved - are typically scum tells.
If you're town, you're not helping town - you present yourself as someone who can be led around by the nose if anyone presents a coherent-sounding argument, which can amplify scum votes or town votes depending on which way the wind blows.
In terms of you "consistently inconsistent", you've also done it again - you just said that you accept being labeled a follower because you're relying on others' experience to put together justifications for you to jump on wagons, but then you go back to voting on Brewers - a wagon that YOU are starting, and that nobody else is arguing for. What is going on here??
