I don't know why this game grinded to a halt, but I have been sleeping during the heavy traffic hours and staying awake during the slow times, so maybe that's part of my perceived slowdown.
No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.
I thought I gave reasons earlier, Sala.
And hey man you voted me first!
I'd give more reasons but reasons are assailable and easy to fabricate, and I don't wanna come up with a lot of rubbish to justify a lynch I just know is right, y'know?
even though you're doing it wrong, you're probably Town too.
This post gives me the chills. Why bash other town if you're town? Shouldn't you want to encourage or exhort town to be more town? Just putting them down doesn't help anyone but... well, anti-town.
or, you could just like Bulbazoor respond instead of the white knight. he had, to me at least, an empty vote and was trying to draw a response with #80. it was a little antagonistic, so i decided to respond in kind. don't really know where i was going to go ~exactly~. but hey, thanks.

What about post #80 exactly was "antagonistic?" And what does antagonizing an antagonizer do exactly for town / scum reads or helping the town in any way benefit from the exchange? Also, what's wrong with him trying to draw a response from you with his post? Empty vote or not, if he's pushing, shouldn't you respond? Staying silent doesn't seem very town beneficial either...
In fact a lot of what you've done just in the past two posts of yours, I'm struggling harder and harder to find the town motivation at all.
tonally it was antagonistic. voting me, and then 24 hours later with the hello? post. how i read it.
as far as what does an eye for an eye type post do? was hoping to prompt discussion. you ask "shouldn't i respond"? what exactly is the proper response to "Vinkah? Hello?" is it hi? how are you doing? how's the weather? honestly?

I'd like to think the normal response to a "Hello?!?!?! You there?!?!?!" post (which is how I read it), is "Yes?" or "What's up? Questions? Did I miss something?" Not "You suck at being town."
P-edit: No the two posts of yours before that. You posted that right before I posted mine.
In post 97, Vinkah wrote:going with your response, in a game that is moving this dreadfully slow, what does that gain? besides more apathy?
I feel like rather, as you were seeking, you'd elicit responses. You say you were seeking discussion, but telling someone "you suck at this game if you're town" doesn't exactly cause another to... discuss anything with you.
