It's simply not rational to think that voting someone will gently indicate to them that you'd like a reasonable, well-thought out case now, please.
Players lay pressure votes on what they see as potential scum.
Well I see you as scum right now if that wasnt obvious by my posts so far in this game, if it hasnt been maybe I need to be clearer. The point is, my vote of you falls under your third line, I see you as scum and by avoiding my case, people seem to be disregarding your case and going to one I dont favor in comparison. So I am putting a pressure vote on you to get some answers and to get other people to pay attention as well.
This generally provokes an OMGUS reaction, which the pressurevoter then takes as confirmation of their hunch.
Not true. I can vote for quite a few people without getting OMGUSed, although some people seem to OMGUS regardless. If you are saying someone OMGUSing a case against them is a scum tell against the person pushing the case because they are fishing for an overreaction, then I dont know what to say. OMGUS = slight scum tell.
The reason to lay a vote on someone "to make them speak up" is so that they'll say something you can use to attack them with.
*facepalm* no no no. With this logic if I was scum, I would just need to lurk and whoever votes me gets lynched for trying to make me look bad. This sound pretty defensive to me, as you are turning the fact that I am attacking you as a point against me.
Ninja, post 881 was a good way to get a reaction from me. Simple, direct, non-antagonistic questions.
I cant comment on this without losing it.
regarding Faerie: yes, absolutely. I'm voting k7 because he's scummy, too. If they're both scum, then who cares what order we lynch them in?
regarding my play vs k7: this one will take longer to respond to. A big difference would be that despite Llama's best efforts, there is no wagon on me that I would need to hide from.
(Have to go to work now. Will almost surely have time tomorrow for more posting.)
Actually there is a wagon on you right now, and by my quick count, you are tied with K7 for the votelead (at last). The K7 vote seems very opportunistic though when compared to what you had been saying. There were a few mentions of you feeling uneasy about K7, although you never started pushing a case against him. FL was what you spent most of D1 and D1.5 setting up, and when it died out, you left that to move to K7. Now with what you just said, you have it set up to move back to FL if K7 gets lynched (or vice-versa) regardless of what happens with their flips. I am getting a feeling that we have Corin-scum and FL/K7 town here given how he is playing.
I would like to hear from armlx on Corin, he was mentioning him earlier and now we have a bit of a forming wagon and he is sticking to FS debates. Also KoC, FL, CFR and Manito would be nice to hear from on this new wagon.
