Pbpa Lowell: Again, some posts I quote using “”, and others I paraphrase
Posts 1 and 2:
lolvotes tajo
I already mentioned this, but this vote could be distancing. <wifom> I wouldn’t expect a player as experienced as Lowell to say “just random. Unless it’s not.” if it is true distancing, but then again maybe he would… <wifom>
Post 3:
votes aegor.
I can’t tell if this is a lolvote or not.
Posts 4 through 6:
goading of other players, jokes, etc..
Post 7:
defends Lquiz
(if you can call one sentence a defense)
and asks for more votes on Aegor
Looks like his vote on Aegor was serious, however since he posted no reasoning, it’s hard to tell why
Post 9:
laughs off being accused of lurking
Post 10:
Threatens to OMGUS my predecessor’s brains out.
I’m not if that even makes sense, but I sure hope it doesn’t carry over to me.
Post 11:
Start of the defense of Sun. Says he can’t see scum being that stupid
Post 12:
“Yup. Sun Tzu makes my town list.”
What I’m really missing from Lowell’s posts is some sort of
reasoning
. Something that would convince me that he is trying to pull for the town.
Post 13:
Defends Sun again, wants to pursue my predecessor for being useless.
That is a weak argument to try to lynch someone, but I DO hope I have been more “useful” than Yellowbounder.
Post 15:
seems finally convinced of Sun’s scumminess, compliments everyone else
Post 16:
votes m4yhem, says the light wagon looks weak
I agree about the light-kun wagon, I never really saw anything there. I really would like something to back up his vote against m4yhem. Is he just choosing random people? I just can’t tell from his posts.
Post 17:
moves vote to m4yhem’s replacement ennui
Since Lowell was suspicious of this position (for undisclosed reasons) I wonder what Lowell’s opinion is of dybeck (the current manifestation of blackberry, m4yhem, ennui, and bogre).
Post 18:
states a defense of YB
Post 19:
“I thought he was town because he was too active for a newbie to be scum”
need I say, terrible wifom
Post 20:
“That’s not a super-thoughtful reason”
Ha!! Hello Kettle!! This was in response to Gimbo voting Lowell for a scummy post-Sun reveal post. At least gimbo GAVE a reason, unlike every other of Lowell’s votes.
Post 21:
Defends his defense of Sun
IMO, this is where Lowell really starts playing. Only after someone votes for him does he start making posts that have content and even one that has a little bit of length to it.
Post 22:
says when he replaces he is careful as scum, but not as town. And that he mis-applied that concept to Sun.
Post 23:
votes FL based on Sun’s comment. Gives credit to farside
trying to get townie points?
Post 25:
again must defend himself for defending Sun, re-asserts the FL vote, against give fareside.
I’m not AT ALL anxious to get on a wagon with Lowell, even if I wasn’t suspicious of him. He doesn’t give reasons for his votes when he makes them, so if he is wrong like he was with Sun, he has to do an awful lot of backpedaling, which is exactly what makes me suspicious of him. I do not trust his lack of reasoning behind his votes (or his failure to share that reasoning, if it even exists)
Post 26:
suggests lynching my other predecessor to save his own skin.
I understand self-preservation, but a townie’s goal is for the town to win by killing scum, not sacrificing other townies.
Post 27:
again wants to preserve his own skin, mentions farside’s comment on FL
I’m not sure why he mentions farside EVERY time he brings up his case against FL. Maybe it is because he doesn’t have much of a case. Also, is he really wanting to “make it to endgame” at any cost?? scumtastic
Post 28:
again wants to lynch someone else
would ANY lynch make you happy besides your own??
Post 29:
restates that his only case against FL is sun’s comment.
I agree sun’s comment is damning, but I can’t lynch someone for one newbie’s post, a crazy angry newbie at that. FL has been showing much more pro-town characteristics than Lowell has, that’s for sure.
Post 31:
restates most of what he has already said, trying to defend himself
Post 32:
brings up the aegor/gimbo spoiler/
on this subject, I completely agree that given aegor’s comments, he must be town. It is interesting that Gimbo was the one who was the first to step forward and vote for Lowell
Post 34:
summarizes the voting and some of the posting up to that point. Lists his town and scum lists.
agree with the tajo suspicion for sure.
Post 36:
adds dybeck to town list
Post 37:
says he’s willing to switch vote to tajo since no one is convinced about FL. Says I’m scummy, for no reason that I can see…
Post 38:
says we need to keep him alive so he can help the town.
Has a high opinion of himself. I’m not saying it’s always good or always works, but I know of several times when townie’s were willing to go ahead and sacrifice themselves IF they had become too much of a distraction from finding the real scum… I guess this isn’t one of those cases.
the rest:
okay I just tired at this point because his last 8 posts he just repeats himself. He goes on wondering why people aren’t convinced when he just says the same one liner over and over regarding his “case” against FL.
Post 45:
says not everyone has taken a stance on tajo.
I actually think more people are more convinced of tajo’s scumminess than lowell’s, however, I believe we will get more information from Lowell’s lynch. We obviously don’t have to be afraid that tajo is going to pop us in the night. However, if Lowell lives he could still be a danger tomorrow in trying to sway us into a mis-lynch.
