Got drunk on a small sip of sherry
She'd insist upon games
With embarrassing names
Not in any refined dictionary.

[Nero Cain]

sounds like you're starting to think he is scum. I kind of hate how you keep calling me an monkey blood hungry. We found ppl we think are scummy and wanted them dead. Does that not happen on your home site?

[wgeurts]

Haha yeah, though the difference is I wont straight away go and vote them I'm going to wait and see his reaction. In my eyes voting page 1 and less but still so 2 is blood thirsty.

[MTD]

Well, there actually is the possibility to change votes, you know....

[GrayFoxxxx]

Also wtf fox? what part of "here's why i'm not giving reasons" did you translate to "here are my reasons?"

@nero- i'm wagoning for your reactions, i wanna see who cares about a wagon on you, i'm looking for opportunistic vote-hoppers, i'm waiting to expound until you've dug yourself a sufficient hole, or i think my reasoning should be obvious.

Can someone else give me an opinion on this.

"I wont tell you why I seriously voted you"

"I voted you for reactions"

"Wait I still haven't given any reasons!"

Actually, if your post 154 wasn't providing reasons what was the point of it ? I literally cant see anything other than vague reasons for a serious vote.

You say you wont tell scum why you voted.

Are you calling me scum by not giving your "real" reasons?

reading comprehension is tech.

Just explain yourself itsn't that hard if you're town.

mollllliiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[MonkeyMan]

My point is he changed votes, who wouldn't like to lynch a guy like Monky who's seemingly blood hungry? It looks like he tried to change the way stuff was flowing and aafter that failed tried not being visible by posting nonsense. Wouldn't you agree?
As said before, people make wrong choices when they panic.

Show me this nonsense that I posted. I bet you can't do it.

[MTD]

Just explain yourself itsn't that hard if you're town.

really, this isn't that hard.
Hint: there is a difference between reasons for voting someone in particular and reasons for placing a vote (regardless of the one you vote for).

You didn't have a heart to begin with. Also, you are a bad guy in the KH saga so what makes you not bad here?

[Heartless]

Hello again sthar, massive.

It looks like I have a little catching up to do.

[sthar8]

oh hey tth. anti was impersonating you earlier.

[sthar8]

Just explain yourself itsn't that hard if you're town.

Not hard.

Irksome.

Having to read the thread to you is

so annoying

.

And I can't be bothered right now. But I'll have some free time later, so sit on your hands and be patient.

[Heartless]

I just looked through our ISO and his shift key hasn't been touched once. You must not be paying attention.

[Heartless]

A few things:

I'm concerned with Anenien's post 85 and post 98. From the self-deprecating humor and cheeky comments, I can tell he's trying extremely hard to be cute and disarming, but it's having the opposite effect on my read on him.

wgeurt's activity in the first few pages is also disconcerting, particularly post 94. No one advocated "blitz-lynching" Death Stare and I don't know what evidence he saw in the thread to lead him to that conclusion or why he's so seemingly hypersensitive about it. With lack of evidence to show that a "blitz-lynch" was ever

going

to happen, it feels like he's just making up a problem that doesn't exist in order to criticize it and appear town.

*sigh* I'm already not able to follow a few people. Namely: Antihero, sthar8, Death Stare

Why is your vote on Nero Cain "serious"?

Death Stare

:
You suspect MonkeyMan because his vote on wgeurt is "bad" because (reasons). Then, you argue that

after

Nacho called him out on having a bad vote, MonkeyMan shoehorned in another reason to vote wgeurt. This is evidenced by (something). These are the reasons for your MonkeyMan vote.
Is all that correct, and if so, could you please fill in the missing links?

[Heartless]

Add

50 Shades of Purple

to the list of people I can't follow. You say your vote is staying on Death Note, implying that there is a

reason

for you to keep your vote there. Why?

I can see why Anti thinks davesaz is scum. Post 152 is very underwhelming and halfhearted, especially seeing that it distinctly lacks

follow through

. There's no questions about Nero Cain's play style directed at people who know him and there's no accompanying vote on Nero Cain to back up the accusations of empty "-ish" posting. The sentence on wgeurts being null is as uninformative as the rest of the post and the scope of reads (only 2 players) is extremely narrow.

tth what are you thinking wrt deaf stare?

I'm unsure, but you should ask me again after they explain why they're voting MonkeyMan.

I'm caught up in the reading and I feel like this game is really fragmented and hard to follow. Most of the major players are pretty opaque in their reasoning. This includes: sthar8, Antihero, 50 Shades of Purple, Death Stare, Nero Cain. It feels like the Death Stare is the divisive slot in this game and I'm not quite sure why since I don't see anything particularly offensive in their posting.
I would be very much for votes on davesaz or Aneninen. I'm going to need to talk to Anti about this.

I like you.

Heartless can be town.

wgeurts is still scum though.

[Heartless]

Alright, I talked to Anti.

You suspect MonkeyMan because his vote on wgeurt is "bad" because (reasons). Then, you argue that after Nacho called him out on having a bad vote, MonkeyMan shoehorned in another reason to vote wgeurt. This is evidenced by (something). These are the reasons for your MonkeyMan vote.

He told me that there are missing links in the explanation because the whole thing is bullshit and there is go good explanation and Death Stare is pushing a scum angle.
I would really rather take it from the horse's mouth and let Death Stare explain the argument themselves.

In the meanwhile, I'd love to hear from sthar concerning his reads on Nero Cain and MonkeyMan.

Also, I'm moving the vote.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: davesaz

I can't speak for my other head since he's the source of our push on Monkeyman, but I can give you a basic rundown on why I support the vote.

1. wgeurts voted for no lynch very early on in the game as well as made a very awkward-sounding post in #68. This is pretty standard stuff for newbies that don't really know how to provide content on this site yet, but still sounds awkward enough to be very easy to push. MonkeyMan immediately pounced on it.

2. wgeurts posted a response in a similar vein to before and MonkeyMan wasted no time in condemning it further.

3. None of MonkeyMan's posts after this show any particular willingness to deviate from this.

This is the main reason I support the vote. As a side effect, I'm getting townreads on Aneninen and MTD for the opposite reason.

-Ank (btw, I posted a few of the things in the first few pages. I'll start signing now)

[MonkeyMan]

You are right. I shouldn't try to lynch the new scum. I should give them a break since they are new and everything. Why would anyone ever lynch someone because they think they are scummy?
