I don't think I was understanding what was being argued, grim, and I admitted that when we talked about it then, as well as when Thor explained the thing with the scum list, not to mention at the time I was under the impression that Varsoon HAD voted for JKLM. I stood by the argument that I understood at the time. Does that make sense?
The above was your reply to my questions. You say two things:
You didn't understand what was being argued (
response 1
)
You were under the impression Varsoon had voted JKLM (

)

However, the biggest reason I believe Varsoon is scum is the way he acted towards the end of JKLM's lynch.
In post 811, JKLM wrote:Angry pidgeon is scum.
Beli is scum. That's all I'm sure of.
Angry is scum because look at who he thinks is scum: me, varsoon, and NEARLY EVERYONE ELSE. Scum trying to leave mislynched open.
Please don't let them discredit me tomorrow. Don't underestimate me ever, Beli is scum for sure. (I'm just really bad at presentation)
You all ready to eat your foot? Not really, it isn't your guys fault for the mislynch, it's really mine, a don't need to tell me that, so yay.
Good luck town. This is a tough list of people.
I tried, JKLM.
I really did.
It was really obvious from your play so far that you're town.
Reads list, bro?
OH no wait, JKLM is town again!

You have me as scum (I definitely am not).
Bold pinged me so hard. I don't know that I've ever heard this from town or said this myself (except as scum). :/
There is no indication at all here that you thought Varsoon voted JKLM. This was never part of your case. (I snipped it to only the relevant part, but you can check, nothing about Varsoon being on a JKLM-wagon). This goes directly against

I like EtL's points on Varsoon very much. Especially that, despite his objections to the JKLM wagon, he stayed on it.
VOTE: Varsoon
Here Paschendale comes in. He entirely misreads your case (because he probably didn't read it) but does add his vote based on reasons you supposedly give.
At this point Guyett expresses disbelief through posting a .gif
But now comes the really surprising part:
In post 845, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:Grim I find it hard to believe you don't understand what pasch just said....
In post 848, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:I suppose it is only fitting you did not read my post, since I didn't read your fairy tale.
Instead of believing your own words, your own case, your instinct tells you to vouch for Paschendale.
You say that Guyett didn't read your wall, implying somewhere in that wall you talk about Varsoon staying on a JKLM-wagon despite his reservations. Yet you didn't.
This is where your sudden "belief Varsoon was voting JKLM" was coming from. You slipped, in an effort to grant Paschendale towncred. You assumed Paschendale knew what he was talking about, and Paschendale misread you.
In post 850, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:Maybe, you and I have different definitions for "on the wagon". Because voting for someone and saying they are scum is pretty much it.
This is just an extremely awkward way of trying to get out of this slip. You turn to semantics, and try to explain that simply "calling someone scum" is the same as being on a wagon. It is clearly not. But this part of the discussion also goes directly against your
response 1
, because it's obvious that you knew what was being argued. Whether or not Varsoon was on a JKLM-wagon, and whether or not you said it.
Here Guyett further clarifies it for you, further going against your
response 1
.
After this you decide to steer clear of the discussion.
I see two scum having slipped over this. PAschendale later feels forced to remove his vote off of Varsoon over this mistake, in an effort to avoid people from noticing the concurrence of your mistake and his mistake. He later puts it back again when this discussion is gone and forgotten.
You seem to have conveniently excluded the part where Varsoon and you both pointed out he was not ever voting for JKLM, at which point I double checked for myself, admitted my mistake, and explained that I had thought he was on the wagon?
grim... that had more to do with YOU and less to do with pasch... I was making a comment about you since I had considered you were playing dumb on purpose.
I'm surprised that you are attempting to hinge a case against me based on whether or not I directly stated in my initial case on Varsoon if he was actually voting JKLM or not, since I quite clearly believed he had.
The point is that you didn't make the mistake while making your case. You made the mistake after Paschendale agreed with an argument that wasn't present in your case, by telling Guyett he should have read your case.
The slip is the following, in one sentence:
You agreed with Paschendale's mistake on your own case.
And the way you tried to withdraw from that mistake, was an awkward discussion about the semantics of the word "wagon".
I never argued the semantics about the word "wagon"... wtf? I never once argued about that. I honest to god thought Varsoon had voted for JKLM. Is it completely impossible to look at that case and the conversation following it from the point of view of someone who thought that?
1. EtL makes a case.
2. Paschendale agrees with an argument that isn't there. (JKLM stayed on a wagon)
3. Guyett notices the oddity of step 2.
4. EtL claims there is no oddity in step 2, and states the non-existing argument is there.
5. EtL explains this by stating that she interprets "wagon" broadly.
6. Guyett shows surprise at this interpretation of "wagon", EtL steers away from further discussion.
7. PAschendale, despite EtL saying Paschendale was not being odd in 2, admits to his mistake himself and removes his vote.

At which point, I was corrected, and realized I'd made a mistake. I thought he had voted for him. What else do you want me to say? I thought the dude had fucking voted for him.
I do find it suspicious that he both pushed and distanced himself from the wagon at numerous times.
After which you didn't reply anymore. The difference between Guyett's definition of wagon and yours, is your inclusion of "calling someone scummy", which Guyett read as that being in itself enough for constituting a wagon. You didn't react against this implication. This is the semantic element, the tiny way out of your tight spot.
If you had argued that wagons are actual votes, the mistakes made by you and Paschendale would be unexplainable.
