PookyTheMagicalBear: 1 (VP Baltar)
Not Voting: 3 (charter, elvis_knits, PookyTheMagicalBear)
That's the argument you are making about me though now isn't it.Pooky wrote:Your argument is still terrible, not every person that the scum fail to hammer at lynch -1 = scumbag.
How many of those reasons do you think applies to me less than they do to you? Not lynching me on my super speed wagon very easily fulfills all of those and probably any other shaky reasons you can come up with. In terms of my wagon, what I think is much less shaky is rofl clearly trying to use me to his advantage after I had claimed.Pooky wrote:1) Not feeling threatened, wanted to keep me around since i wasn't really contributing
2) felt i was an easy endgame push lynch
3) thought i could easily be fooled into voting for a townie at endgame
4) thought they would be overexposed by a hammer on me.
And yet, you're still to give any substantial reasoning why they wouldn't hammer you prior to that when they had a golden opportunity to do so with minor culpability. I've already pointed out a legitimate reason why they would pile on you even if you were scum in that position. Tajo was the lynch pin (heh) in their scum team and they needed to protect him no matter what. I'm not buying the "they were waiting for another townie to do it" because there were minor grumblings toward tajo from SC already at that point. If you were town in that situation it'd make perfect sense to hammer you soon after your claim and nip that in the bud. Like I said though, they took a gamble hoping to not lynch either of their buddies that day and it didn't pan out so well.pooky wrote:What did they do when Tajo looked like he was about to get run up? almost all of them ended up piling onto a pooky wagon.
Well, that's nice and all, but you didn't answer my question. What do you think is scummy about Charter since you are considering it, as any good townie would?Pooky wrote:The only way a townie can guarantee that Charter stumps to prove his innocence prior to a lynch is to withhold his vote. If you actually meant what you said you would never have voted without actually getting a stump from charter.
I think you know very well that wasn't what I was saying. You basically picked out parts where scumbags said "I think VP is scummy for this" and then said "oh hey, but they didn't lynch you when they had the chance, obv. scum!". I'm saying that I could go back, CTRL +F Pooky, and probably come up with the very same argument against you.pooky wrote:Of course I'm going to select the relevant quotes from the scumbags for when they are talking about you, i'm not going to quote them when they are talking about some dead guy as that would be pointless.
The only viable lynches were YOU or TAJO at that time. They had no reason not to lynch. Unless you're their buddy, of course.pooky wrote:if they were trying to save me, they would've run up somebody else, like they did with Xyl to save you.
Why would they not care when their whole scum team collapsed because they didn't lynch you? That's good logic there.pooky wrote:The scum didn't care if I died or not, but it's pretty obv scumstrategy not to lynch the idiot townie if the town looks like it's about to do it to you.
See, this shows me that you are not actually looking at the context of anything and are simply trying your best to get me lynched on a bad argument. Actually go to the page with that vote count and read the next couple of pages.pooky wrote:How could it be that the viable lynches at that time were me and Tajo when Tajo doesn't have a single vote on him?
And yet that was exactly what they did shortly after that when tajo's lynch became even more imminent. Clearly they didn't care about looking suspicious, just about not lynching you.pooky wrote:gee whiz, i don't see any oppurtunity for a scumbag to hammer me in those votecounts when Tajo becomes a viable lynch, looks like people switched off me to tajo, those taking me away from the edge while making tajo a viable lynch. kinda kills your whole case doesn't it.
Unless you're honestly surprised that three scum sitting with their votes in different places didn't suddenly synchronized make a move on me when i'm at 4 votes and tajo is at 3.
cuz you know, that wouldn't look suspicious at all, 3 scum suddenly coming at voting me just cuz tajo got to 3 votes.
Um I've been lazy and not reread what I promised. IT began because we seemed to have time to kill and because I wanted to hear from pooky.VP Baltar wrote:apart from the three folks voting him there was also talk by others that he was a scum bag.
Again, look at context beyond the vote counts.
EK, you're making me uncomfortable with your silence. At the start of the day you were leaning toward pooky being scum. Then charter said he was leaning toward me, and you seemed to be agreeing a bit more that way. It seems a bit like spurring on a fight from the sidelines. I'd like to hear you fleshed out opinion.
It didn't happen in an "instant". Furthermore, they knew tajo lynch was disaster for them. And even further more, none of the scumbags who have flipped thus far are stupid by any means. They would have easily seen what was happening. It's not complex. The opportunity was there and they had major incentive to take it, yet they didn't. Simple as that. You're not going to win this argument by simply repeating the same garbage and trying to pummel the town with words now after you have made a concerted effort to be unreadable up until this point.pooky wrote:so the scum were supposed to instantly see this analysis and all extract themselves from their positions all over the voting arena and converge on me quickly?
Yes, therefore, none of them would vote you for the fear that their partners weren't "psychic".pooky wrote:heck if they even voteshift, how are they supposed to know the other scum will voteshift onto me as well? they aren't psychic
