23 votes available, 12 votes needed to lynch

Deadline is July 18, ~ 10 am PDT

[Celebloki]

Mod: V/LA until Tuesday, July 5th. I should be posting again then.

[Antifinity]

I would be interested to hear a claim, if only because he seems liable to give more information than necessary (ie, revealing his belief in other scum factions). I'd unvote, but it seems no one is eager is to hammer.

[vollkan]

I'd still much rather see Malthusis dead than Kast.

#721 and no subsequent post is really making me consider the possibility that he's lurking while hoping the lynch goes through without him needing to have any input on it.

Looking at his ISO, he has two previous large (> 3 day) gaps in posting, so I don't think his current lurking can be attributed the motive that you are suggesting.

Quote please? I assume you're talking about Kast, and I don't remember him bringing up multiscum at all. (LC did that, Kast queried me on not going after it.)

[Candle Jack]

Oh damn, wrong account.

The thing here is this pretty clearly reads like this is a slam dunk deal.

But the vote itself and subsequent posts sure don't make that look like the case one bit.

Bullets wouldn't be bad if they visited this cranium.

[vollkan]

Aside from what SpyreX and Tar have already noted, I'm puzzled by the second part of the above "if only because...etc". Do you mean that you'd be opposed to his claiming if he didn't have the tendency you allege?

The reason this is important is that conditioning your support for a claim on a weird point like this has the effect of making your support passive - as in, you aren't advocating claiming

per se

, since you are advocating it for an ancillary reason. So, I'd like to know why you think his tendency to give information away (and, in answer to Tar, why you think he has said tendency) alone justifies claiming.

[ZeL1nK]

Yeah, I'm taking that into account, but with the speed at which the Kast wagon built, his "need to read on Kast" with no follow-up looks opportunistic.

What exactly is the "opportunism" here? If he was joining or supporting the wagon, I'd understand where you are coming from. But, as you yourself pointed out in your previous post, he is lurking.

[ZeL1nK]

If the Kast wagon dies in his absence, he avoids taking a firm stance on Kast while Kast is under pressure.

If the Kast wagon goes through, he can say that the lack of stance on Kast was due to being inactive.

[Nocmen]

Current lurking of who are we talking about here?

[ZeL1nK]

Malthusis.

[Nocmen]

I agree with that opportunism. But I still keep my vote on him because 1. I feel there's enough pressure on Kast, as once Kast returns, I'm willing to jump on as well and 2. I want to keep my vote on malth because I'm really curious for his reads.

[vollkan]

Ehh...it's not what I'd normally call "opportunism", but your argument is legitimate enough that this is now just a semantic debate. As I said though, he's lurked enough already that I don't think anything can be read into his current delay - at least given that it's currently only been two days.

[SpyreX]

....

I may have been wrong about ZeL1nk.

I approve of this thought process quite a bit.

Ah, my bad. Forget my promises of unvoting as well then.

[Amrun]

Why are we stalling so much?

[populartajo]

Im basically waiting on Kast claim.

Prod Kast, plz.

[malthusis]

I'm sort of waiting to see Kast's claim. He hasn't posted anything at all lately.

[StevieT92]

Do people really need to ask why there's not that much posting? Sometimes I wonder.

[GhostWriter]

Not everyone's American.

[Iecerint]

It looks like Kast's V/LA ends tomorrow.

[Kdub]

Prods will be going out tonight.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I hate when games stagnate for a claim >.>
