The Recent Oman Gaffe
Oman wrote:Aye, you guys did fall off my radar, I was working too hard on my mini-essay and so I was playing in the games most requiring my attention.
The town here is strong
, and we have lots of players, plus activity is high so this took a back seat (all my C9s got priority
).
Sorry to do it to you,
the idea was that you'd catch scum without me
. I'm going to bed now, (0400) but tomorrow this is my first game I promise
So Oman doesn't post for a while. And understandably states that he was very busy. I totally believe this, he's in a lot of games and a thought out Discussion Thread was posted by him in the interim. But I have issues with the above statement especially the bolded portions.
Rephrased later as:
Oman wrote:No its, "we need to find scum, other games cannot do it without me, but teh town here is strong enoiugh without my input".
So in Oman's view the town had been hunting scum very well especially it's active posters (assuming he means vollkan, Gemelli and myself but I'll leave that for him to clarify). This statement was made after his hiatus starting on Sept. 29th, before that he had been quite active in the thread. Let's see how the town was doing at hunting scum, specifically Oman scum:
Gemelli Sept. 26 wrote:Oman
: One of the most active players. On day 1, most vote/suspicion posts were directed at pro-town players (myself, VH/ryan, spurgistan, Carrotcake). Tended to support originality day 1, has distanced himself from him starting at (I think) post 434. Has been a frequent vote-hopper day 2, often following up another vote for that player as a bandwagoneer. Currently dividing his attention between dybeck and Elias, with occasional shots at originality. My odds on him:
80% scum
(50% mafia, 30% SK), 20% town.
vollkan Sept. 26 wrote:My final thoughts:
I was wrong...Dybeck's latest stuff makes a lot of sense and I now see he has never been stubbornly pushing for Orig's lynch; in fact, Dybeck now appears quite pro-town to me.
Orig looks a lot worse to me right now but, for reasons I gave previously, I don't want him lynched today.
Gemelli looks very pro-town to me, as does shaft.ed.
I am a little concerned with the lurky players: Lucienne and Elias.
As such, I guess
my suspicion falls back to
the second person who has raised my eyebrows today:
Oman
.
AlyG Sept. 27 wrote:I also am suspicious of Oman's Vote hopping and bandwagonning. His votehopping has been very frequent during the course of this day and he always seems to be following up other peoples suspicions as a bandwagoner.
shaft.ed Sept. 27 wrote:Oman: Started off the game with a very odd maneuver using tiny white text. This got him off on the wrong foot with me. Did some meta'ing and felt this was pretty normal for his playstyle. He set fine with me most of yesterday. While he did get a bit overzealous with ryan yesterday, I pretty much agreed with the reasoning behind the bandwagon that ryan should be pressured for trying to bully dybeck. Since ryan turned out to be an ass, we really got nothing from that bandwagon. Today Oman has been all over the place. Basically any time someone makes a point or places a vote Oman swings his position and says "yeah yeah that's the ticket vote whoever was just mentioned." This is reallyl making me uneasy with him and as of now I'd be most comfortable with an Oman lynch.
*Post ranked Oman as most scummy player
vollkan Sept. 27 wrote:Scummy
Oman -- 60%
dybeck --65%
...
My 3 suspects are:
1) Dybeck
2) Oman
3) Gemelli
Gemelli Sept. 27 wrote:vote: Oman
Gemelli Sept. 27 wrote:That being said, my #1 and #2 choices (
for vig'ing
) would be Oman and Elias
Gemelli Sept. 27 wrote:Oman -- 75% scum odds
dybeck Sept. 28 wrote:I'm not sure about the SK - right now I'd lean towards Oman, but it could be anyone.
AlyG Sept. 28 wrote:Oman: - Probably in my eyes the most scummy player in the game. he has been bandwagonning the whole game. Whenever somene changes their vote and throws around suspicion he is always there to follow-up and always votes for the same person straight away. he is a big vote hopper and always jumps on the person getting suspicion. He seems to be trying to keep pressure on other players which is scummy. her are some examples of bandwagoning:
Long list of examples in post 676

1. No Kill
2. dybeck
3. Oman
4. Elias
Lucienne Sept. 28 wrote:To clarify - my main suspicion is Oman. Reasons - major flip-flopping and bandwagonning.

1. No kill
2. Shaft.ed
3. Vollkan
4. Oman
AlyG Sept. 28 wrote:Ok my list:
1) No Kill
2) Dybeck
3) Oman
4) Meh...Elias
shaft.ed Sept. 28 wrote:AlyG thank you very very much for pointing out Oman adding you to his list. Listing a confirmed tracker for NK is just ludicrous.
vote:Oman

I'd like to revise my vig list:
1. No Kill
2. Oman
3. Elias
4. dybeck
vollkan Sept. 28 wrote:My list:
1. No Kill
2. Dybeck
3. Oman
4. Elias (though well below the others).

Wha..!?! You want the confirmed tracker NKed.
Increase HoS on Oman
...
At deadline, I would change to Oman if it came down to it, but I would prefer a dybeck lynch today.
vollkan Sept. 29 wrote:Despite how dreadfully he worded this; I think Oman is trying to argue that the fact that he has now replaced AlyG with Lucienne is entirely independent of the fact that he has been called out for having AlyG on his list.
I believe the most appropriate term is "back-pedalling".
So if the town's been so good at scum hunting, and you've been the primary/secondary target of most of us posters, are you trying to say that we're correct in thinking you are scum?
