-- Do you have any other logins on this forum? Is so, you should know that alt accounts are not allowed to join Newbie games as newbies (only as replacements).

If it isn't obvious, I think you might be an experienced player who is acting like a super-newbie.

aaaaa

not an alt.

lets sum up what i know so that i don't get lynched later. (Still going to because of the reasons stated below)

I know vocabulary (woooooo but it was a sticking point for people)

Don't know how to read, can't defend, can't attack/accuse

and this is why i'm going to be 1st lynch (yay!)

So.....

Like, not a complete idiot but still.

I need someone to make a really bad contradiction

and then help me

see, reading people sounds easy on paper

but when i try it all i see is

(X) posted this

(Y) posted that

(Z) accuses me

(me) idk help

enough.

Loopdan does drive a convincing argument.
I'm gonna join for pressure. If we get to L-1, I'm retracting.

not really much pressure if you promise to retract a vote as soon as it starts to matter

hellfire, maybe instead of looking for scum, you can try to develop townreads and then apply the process of elimination to decide who to vote
or, instead of looking for decisive contradictions, you just regularly update us on things you've found interesting about different and whether it can be interpreted as a scum vs town move

Yeah, I skimmed your other game.

I think this is an act, regardless of your alignment. Your posts are trying to look clueless, but there's enough textual evidence to indicate that you aren't six years old.

Hey, hi, okay.

It is site policy that there is to be no discussion of ongoing games, at all, ever.

I do not care if you are dead in the game.

I do not care if it is about to end.

I do not care if it is the very start of the game.

No ongoing games,
ever
.

Any further discussion of any ongoing game will be reported up the chain of command.

Thanks,
Xalxe

Sorry. I didn't think saying that I had read an ongoing game was against the rules. I guess I should make clear that my third sentence in 111 is talking about Hellfire's play in this game.

Hey so I'm in class right now but I'll make a longer post later today about people's concerns about me when I have more time to read through the thread. Is there anything aside from the word choice argument that I haven't addressed already? Or any other questions y'all have for me?

Yes. Why do you say y'all if you are from Colorado? J/K. That was a joke about word choice.

I want to know what you think the motivations are for the players that are saying you are scummy. In other words, from your POV are they scum motivated or misguided town?

Unvote
VOTE: howard

Look at his iso. First of all, I take the lack of reply as agreement that my wagon is fucking awful. He is putting an easy vote that feigns involvement and asks 2 mediocre questions. That's it. He's an se, and that's all we have from him? 2 posts and really only 1, which isn't even a good 1? Come on.

OK. How would others who have played with you a lot describe your scum-hunting style? Also, what do you think about policy lynches in Newbies?
