Ugghhh that Liverpool game was brutal. For a few games now we've only turned up in the second half and it cost us today. Oh well we'll still win the League.

My stance on Zekrom being town is fairly firm, he looks like a scapegoat who is completely out of his depth. That said I really don't want him alive at the end game and if I didn't have a fairly strong scumread on our resident active lurker and a couple of others who are blending into the background I might even vote for him.

In post 83, Gooner wrote:VOTE: Green Crayons

I felt his vote on UT was just as bad as Zekrom's but Zekrom's the one getting all the heat for it. Best I have at the moment.
I actually checked this out since I was rereading the thread. As of the time of your Post 83, Zekrom and I were both voting Tripod, but for clearly different reasons. What made my reason "just as bad" as Zekrom's? While we're at it, you can also explain why Zekrom's justification for his Tripod vote was bad, because I now think his reason for voting Tripod was valid.
I was referring to the inital post where you voted on UT which I believe someone declared was hyper-town. I didn't see the reasoning and voted. Since then I haven't seen any explanation of the vote.
(Hint: you should also explain why you decided not to pursue another player -- not Zekrom -- who voted for Tripod for the same reason I did.)
Tman? He actually explained his vote-namely that Tripod refused to answer a question. You didn't

Slightly creepily that line has become a bit of a catchphrase on the other site where I play Mafia.

But yes the sentiment is one I definitely agree with. It's why my vote is on GC at the moment.
While we're at it, perhaps you can explain why you think "all votes on <player> are bad and you should feel bad" is a sentiment you agree with, but apparently as applied to Tripod. What makes Tripod so incredibly town in your view?
Nope, I was referring to Zekrom and the votes on him which are bad. My vote on you is more for active lurking. Tripod's null for me, the votes on him are pretty bad but I haven't seen anything town indicative in his behaviour.

In other news GC's post on Death Note makes me happy.

VOTE: Fish
Has made some poor, active lurky posts and is sort of watching the game go by instead of actually getting involved in it.

I had completely forgot that Fish and OGML are in this game. Can we get a good ol fashioned lurker wagon!?!? I'd totally be down for Fish if the Zekrom thing isn't gonna happen.

I think the same criticism can be lobbied against you in your pursuit of the Elyse vote, and with the same degree of validity. Y'all's unconvincing back-and-forth tunnel vision on each other is what strikes me as two towns going at it.

The explanation should be pretty apparent from the posts quoted in my Post 71. In fact...

...No, not Tman. Tman voted Tripod in Post 53 for what appears to be essentially the same reason why Zekrom voted Tripod in Post 73.

I was referring to Marquis. (I didn't catch this until my reread.) Marquis actually stated the reasons for my own vote with her vote back in Post 49.

I'm not quite sure how my "unexplained" (scare quotes) Tripod vote could be "just as bad" (actual quotes, per your Post 83) as Zekrom's explained vote. That denotes some sort of equivalency between my vote and Zekrom's vote that I don't see. After all, I wasn't voting Tripod for the same reason as Zekrom, and you didn't even think I had a justification for my vote (unlike Zekrom). Please clarify your Post 83 comparison of me and Zekrom.

This explanation is nonsense. You explicitly said the reason why you were voting me is because of the sentiment that "all votes on <player> are bad and you should feel bad." You now stating that Post 252 stated that you were voting me because of some other reason (active lurking) is just a blatant falsehood.

Well it wasn't for me. I just saw a reasonless bandwagon jump.

Ahhh ok. Sorry, I didn't see that. Again I just saw a baseless bandwagon leap. Can you see where I'm coming from here.

As for the second part, my notes have Zekrom's vote down as unexplained too. I must have missed a post at some point/misread a post.

[
I'll quote the posts which show I was voting for you for active lurking in a moment. I never said the reason I was voting for you was "all votes on player are bad and you should feel bad" because I was responding to the Zekrom wagon not the UT one, by that point in time Zekrom was clearly just a newb completely out of his depth rather than scum.

Now GC. He's been active lurking up to this point. I mean read his ISO. It's all lovely blending into the background, not doing anything to push the town along type scum. The type of player you don't really tend to notice until the end of the game when he's revealed as scum. Fortunately, I have a lot of experience with this type of scum and have grown accustomed to spotting them from a mile away.
Here GC. I even mention active lurking.

Yes I see, I messed up and thought your vote was on Zekrom at that point. Your last posts confused me and I only spotted this error on a re-read.

~ discussion about the use of the term "tunnel vision" ~


it should not be used at this point and time and it looks scummy when people are using it.

why? cos tunnel vision involves the exclusion of outside data like I dunno flips, investigative results, etc. to use at this point and time is a mischaracterisation of the word itself and seems like a convenient thing for scum to toss around to say some1 else is scummy?

^ lazy scumhunting at best if town, pretty obv as scum I just wish would town would not do it but they do

I prefer the term trolleytracking. it is a hockey term where you are so focused on the puck that you get blindsighted by the other team and lose teeth and get bloody cos you never saw them coming. this is d1 we are fishing out reads, I think elyse is scum and I got this read early and I am not going to change it unless she does something outstandingly townie which she isn't and elyse knows how to do that.

@ elyse

I had you as scum, I liked the deathy post but then nika said he didn't and it looked like early distancing to me went back to my scum read why the fuck are you not banging on about that shit

like srsly you are doing a thing and you are not scumhunting this is not the town elyse that I have come to know and love
