I don't understand why
Grey
says I haven't asked any questions.
And some more, and even though 1/4th of them weren't answered, you can't say that I haven't asked questions because that, expressing my knowledge and opinion, and putting up a vote when I think is necessary - is all I've done so far - and moreso the questions than most other things.
Yuck. I actually looked at each of the posts linked. Why? Because I'm a masochist that's why. Most of them are asking individual players for reads, sometimes on specific players, sometimes in general. That's fine. But it's annoyingly non-specific. Quite a few of them are long lists of questions asked when prompted by another player (me, for instance). This is appeasing other players.
A few of them are just empty questions.
Please explain this, I don't know where this came from. Odd is honestly one of the only people who has legitimately pushed at me in this game. (Other than a few stabs from NJAC, and ChriVi.)
I haven't pushed you this game. At all. I've raised red flags. That's it. If I'm going to push you we'll have a long conversation with maybe a vote involved.
I'm also not entirely sure what this has to do with your alignment, or with the quote is was in response to.
Finally:
Because he's a cautious newbie who is oversharing things to fully walk through his reasoning for us. He doesn't want to get lynched, but not in a scummy way, more in an "I'm new, I'm giving 110%, love me friends" way. He's not quite sure how to scumhunt, naturally scared of mislynching, and has not yet developed the blood rage (the blood rage will come children, oh yes it will). It's all super genuine. Plus if he were scum, he'd be scared overcautious scum, which means reading all of his posts for scumtells.
Please tell me you aren't saying that I am scummy because I am polite. This is a game, not a fighting ring...
I can be just as pissy as I am polite. So don't mix this up with me not being genuine everytime I say "thank you" or "are you serious." Plus, you just acknowledged the fact that I am being truthful about my experience and approach, which shows that you do find validity in a lot of what I say. Which makes me think you're saying these things to provoke town conversations, a more solid position on me, and get more info on me. Hmm...
That was a read on me. You'll notice it's a townread.

Please join us friends, in welcoming the scum to the noose!
Grey's Taly vote. A little confident aren't you?

Then how about you explain yourself now?
VOTE: GreyICE
I'd call this OMGUS, but Taly unvotes a few posts later.
It's a pretty contentless spat, to be perfectly honest with you. Grey's initial points are valid, if overstated but his later points amount to saying, "sheep me everybody because I'm right".
More than anything else Taly's vote on GreyICE bugs me. Even though he did retract it later, it came right after Grey's initial vote on him. The rationale seems to be that Taly felt Grey was pushing him without good reason. That's fine, but it seems like a very weak read to provoke a vote.
