If you choose to call his posts "jokey" thats fine, I posted all my suspicions of Lowell on page 7 (or 6 I believe)Aimee wrote:unvote Fraggle/Teffc... hi!
Jordan and Ryan, what is involved in your case against Lowell, ignoring a few jokey posts? Have you thought that this is maybe Lowell's playstyle at all?
And what about Fraggle? You understand he can't justify any of Teffc's actions at all, and should be judged - almost - independently from Teffc, although granted, Teffc's actions still have some bearing.
So to conclude - what's your case?

I will have many more thoughts on other players coming up...but Albert's posts are very interesting.Albert B. Rampage wrote:Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?

why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?
Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?
If it is a certain restriction he has...then he probably has some sort of special role. I went back and read his posts/poems and they really hint at a possible vigilante or serial killer role. A lot of them are "I'm all alone against the system" kind of writings....just a thought.
If it is just the way he really decided to post this game....then that is a waaaay strange decision and strikes me as very unlikely.
Either way, I think it's a cool idea....in a game-setup kind of way.
I'll be back with more.-

Okay guys... first of all...
That is ridiculous.... NO ONE in any frame of mind would breadcrumb SK... That makes no sense...If it is a certain restriction he has...then he probably has some sort of special role.

Secondly... this is what I would like to see in the next day or so (RL days)... What I'm waiting on are:
Lowell to respond to post #175
TrustGossip to detail the Teffc/Fraggle case for the benefit of HackerHuck
Fragglescum to defend himself against that case...
I think those are the points which have yet to be addressed... I would ask Albert more about his PR but I figure if he was going to he would have done so already...Albert wrote:"Mr. Rampage, can you please explain the meaning behind your violent lyrics?"

-Also, deezr and OvertheUnder have not posted anywhere on site for at least 10 days. Both their votes are from page 1 and I think still stand...which is definetely not helpful for figuring out anything.-

ryan, you are seriously hindering me, oh my gosh. In case people haven't noticed this, but I tend to have a bit of an underdog complex. I tend to lean heavily against the first bandwagon being accurate. ryan, you made a few good points in the beginning against Lowell's incendiary and uncooperative playstyle, but your constant misinterpretation of people's posts is eroding my trust in you.ryan wrote:Wait a second. You just said you didn't like Albert's post restriction ("because it makes it tough on him and makes him post less") BUT than said "I can't think of why any of us would be post restricted?" Huh???
IGMEOY: ryan
The case against teffc is that the sum of her testimony is either; worthless (posting just for the sake of activity), vague (innumerable 'too' statements), or nonexistent (the long period of lurking until asking for a replacement).
But like I said earlier, her getting replaced is generally bad because now we have to wait for fraggle to post enough to analyse.

Since you seem to have forgotten why you think Teffc is scum, try using the view all posts by user function at the bottom of the page. If that doesn't jar your memory, you might want to at least make something up.
Targeting lurkers/inactives on day one is a copout and a hallmark of opportunistic scum. Replacing an inactive is generally good, since inactivityis nota scum tell.-

My case against Teffc was because of her very contentless posts and her unfounded suspicions of you, and I think you, for now, is the most pro-town player here.
And for the record, I was asking the mod to prod the lurkers, hardly targetting them is it? And I didn't say replacing a player is a bad thing, it's just that Teffc acted scummy before Fraggle replaced her, and we shouldn't just completely ignore that.Please delete my comment from your sig...such an awful joke- Battle Mage

Just for the record, I asked our mod to prod Deezr and OTU yesterday so I am sure he has done so and if they fail to pick up their prods they will be replaced, so lets try and focus on the actives...
Since no one else seems willing I will go through and try to outline what I have percieved as the case against Teffc....Teffc wrote:Good morning again now! i see i got my first ever vote on Cooney Island. YEY!
anyone not posting?Teffc wrote:p.s. I am a she:DTeffc wrote:hiya there. i'm back just wanted to drop by to say i'm still alive Mr. Green
A lot of lurking in plain sight, posting without adding any real content....Teffc wrote:morning, my computer crashed yesterday and i had to have it fixed...sorry i couldn't post earlier
there are a few persons i would like to see post.
so i'm sticking to my first choice, deezer.
Takes a benign statement of yours and twists it. Also role-fishing...Teffc wrote: Why the bold statement, HackerHuck? Seems to me you are trying to get someone's attention with that. Is there any particular reason for it? Being immune to investigations sounds like a good reason for saying it.
This is Teffc addressing Jordan but it sounds like he's describing his own posting style with "but no real substance in those posts of yours"... To me Teffc comes across as new to the game and trying to be helpful but at the same time not actually adding anything to the discussion...Teffc wrote: too me it does seem you are trying to play it cool and way too safe. Are you waiting for an opportunity to bandwagon or even hammer someone? YOu have been keeping count of posts and posting and awful lot of theory but no real substance in those posts of yours. You seem to be prodding to see who cracks so you may cling on.-

I'm still trying to decide whether or not you're just a little overenthusiastic about finding scum, or you are one. Most of the rest of us *cough* *cough* are also trying to find scum, though maybe not as zealously as you are, to the point of a great deal of misreadings.ryan wrote:

Lowell: I will be voting for you if you do not respond to my questions in #175... Discuss....
Albert is on my list of suspects as are well, a lot of people.. But having (or claiming to have a post restriction) does not exempt you from activity, I expect more participation.... And voting for lowell for this post:
My bolding for emphasis... Seems counter-productive... It was obvious he was making a point about using posts like that to draw reactions... Why would you vote him for that?Lowell wrote:Good post. This guy is town.
Now comes the part where opportunists jump on me!
And for the record we can't possibly KNOW his restriction is real... I was trying to put together a meta-game perspective on Ryan and read part of a still active game (not going to discuss it)... Not saying more, just that I don't assume just because there is an "obvious" post restriction in effect doesnt mean it is legitimate...-

Why is it that when the heat gets turned up on Lowell he throws a couple names out and than disappears? Sweenytodd has been asking you questions Lowell, why don't you answer a few instead of posting a quickie and bailing on the game? If you can't post why you have suspicions why post?

Post restriction or not, Albert is playing a very solid game.
For the first time, I'm considering Lowell as scum. ryan's been drawing my attention simply because he posts often and says a good amount per post. Still unsure about whether teffc was inexperienced scum or just inexperienced.
I'd still REALLY LIKE some status updates on OTU and deezr.Compcrack

So I am willing to give Lowell until Tuesday:
I still don't see a lot of his posts as scummy but need him to respond to our concerns.Lowell wrote:will write more when I get back to work on Tuesday.
Also Fragglescum needs to post: We replaced Teffc and will not allow another non-contributor...
I believe that OTU and Deezr were prodded on ThursdayMODwould you confirm this and if they haven't picked up their prods when can we expect replacements?
Primoris: I don't think I've seen you comment since I entered the game... What are your thoughts on Teffc/Fraggle, Ryan, Lowell as of now?
Trustgossip: Was the case I outlined for Teffc what you had in mind or do you have additions to that? What is the order of your top 3 suspicions at this point? Do you see the interactions between Jordan and Ryan as suspicious at all? (Specifically psts #124 and 125) Those two posts bother me because I looked like Lowell was making another joke post to get a reaction and they immediately bit and in ver similar fashion. I am not suggesting that Ryan and Jordan are scum together but the interaction just seems odd to me.
Aimee: I attempted to lay out what I see as the case for Teffc and asked Trustgossip to add anything I missed... Who are your top suspicions at the moment?-

To Sweenytodd:
I'll do one better, here's a revised list of my opinions on all the contributing players (from most suspicious to most trusted).
Lowell: a great deal of vote hopping (didn't realize the extent until Albert pointed it out), comments only for the purpose of provoking ryan further, throws out names of people he 'trusts' and people that he suspects as scum without much extended reasoning, a generally detached style of play.
Fragglerock: extended lurk period after replacing, no urge to establish town-ness even though his predecessor has/had a bandwagon on them. Why?
Primoris: put ryan at the closest to lynch yet (besides yours). Left it there for around two days, even after multiple people expressed concern. At least you had the good sense to retract your vote after I made it clear that I did not agree with it out of possibility of quick lynch. He has also not contributed much (I know HackerHuck stated that inactivity is not a scumtell, but not actively sharing theories and looking for scumis)
Jordan: looks increasingly like a piggybacker. In the beginning of the game I didn't think much of his support for ryan because I was also supporting ryan's innocence. But he seems to be unable to vocalize an opinion that dissents from ryan's unless someone like HackerHuck points out a logical fallacy and Jordan quickly backtracks but doesn't really explain himself.
ryan: contributes often but seems to have blinders on as he continually focuses on Lowell and not really considering anyone else (he had suspected HackerHuck, but after the presentation of other interpretations of HH's posts, has seemingly abandoned this campaign). His misreading of people's posts seems more like overzealous scumhunting, as I imagine a scummer would adopt a more complacent attitude and wouldn't adopt such an unpopular philosophy as "bandwagons are unproductive".
aimee: she's this low on the list mainly because I feel like she'd be a much greater asset if she was just more active. I'm seeing her as a non-entity simply because there isn't that much she's provided that we can draw inferences from.
HackerHuck: uses his experience to benefit the town has spent a great deal of time trying to teach ryan to use his time more efficiently than a simple crusade against Lowell. Hasn't done any questionable voting and starts helpful lines of questioning.
SweenyTodd: well first of all you like a great play (haha j/k). In the short amount of time you've been in the game, you've actively compiled evidence without skewing it for personal gain and generally have been the leader in questioning ever since the bandwagon against ryan has looked increasingly useless.
Albert: displays unusual levels of prescience in his actions. Although he's cryptic and the post-restriction is unusual, it seems sufficiently annoying that he wouldn't just do it for fun. In my opinion, all of his actions have been very spot-on.
TrustGossip: well of course I'm the most trusted, as I'm still the only person that I'm certain is town.
I'm simply providing my opinion of people at this point in the game. People's most recent and most prominent actions weigh the heaviest (meaning that people who do more things tend to have a positive bias on this list). Please try not to use this list as a basis for voting. I'm actually discouraging voting because I feel there's a great deal of information missing because of the two inactives (three if you count Fraggle, four if you count Primoris). Sorry for lack of quote evidence, but I did not want to create a behemoth, and I am also somewhat lazy.Compcrack

I can understand your concern. I did not intend to be away so long and do apologize...replacing in on Memorial Day weekend became more difficult than I anticipated.TrustGossip wrote:
Fragglerock: extended lurk period after replacing, no urge to establish town-ness even though his predecessor has/had a bandwagon on them. Why?
To start I should say that I came in unconcerned about Teffc's bandwagon...from my readings she made almost non-sensical posts and then fizzled out, so I could understand why the town would find her suspicious. I promise to be different.
I think that, as a replacement, it is very hard to simply state "town-ness"...and that it must be earned through actions. I will do my best to be worthy in my scumhunting.
I'll be working on my quotes, responses, and impressions....more to follow.-

And how am I piggybacking? I'm the one (with help from Ryan), that came up with Lowell as scum in the first place, and I've not changed my vote since. And I'm vocalizing opinions, I've made numerous good points about Lowell, me and Ryan just happen to have the same opinion, but I've already said, there's absolutely no connection between us. And the only reason I backtracked the last time was because HH wasn't adressing me when he made that rather strong post.TrustGossip wrote:Jordan: looks increasingly like a piggybacker.

Okay Jordan, here are my questions for you...Let's pretend that Lowell is innocent, or even if we lynch him and he comes up innocent, then who do you suspect... I mean thats my problem with this kind of one sided crusade... Here are some questions for you... If Lowell is scum, who would you suspect next to go after tomorrow, and if he is innocent, who should we go after... Who else is suspicious and do those suspicions tie into the results for lowell...?
TrustGossip: Ty so much for putting that list together, that helps me a lot to understand where you're coming from...
Fragglescum: I'm not going to argue that Teffc made no sense.. That much is obvious... What I want to know is, having read this game as I am going to assume you have done at this time... What do you think about the current cases? How do you like the Lowell wagon? How about Ryan? Aside from the idea that Albert is breadcrumbing SK or Vig, do you think he makes good points with his posts despite the restriction? What do you think of Aimee or Primoris?
