It's because Navy is scum.
The kill suggests this, the claims suggest this. If Math flips town this highly suggests this.
But you play like you are, and if you're town... Wow... Cool. :up:

She's probably scum but you're acting like she wouldn't play like that as either alignment and I'd rather lynch a slot with readable content.
That slot isn't being replaced. It gets passed the replace spot, does a stupid post like that and stays in the game.
And people seem to be okay with this, but not okay with me telling them how shit they are for letting it happen.

But...314 votes to lynch.

Or 6 hugs between all active players between each other.

Be nice.

Guys, what's the site policy regarding asking for another player to be replaced in a game? Like, I don't know about the rest of you, but if we can all request Almost50 to replace Vedith, I think we should. The only issue I have there is that he might be scum and this is just a shitty tactic to not be useful.

This makes my point stronger.
Is okay with someone doing nothing in the game and wasting a spot, but as soon as I refuse to follow a plan, wants me replaced. :lol:

I don't think you can do that. I tried something similar once early in my career and it got shot down hard

Navy needs to be replaced to. Because non-content posts should not be considered an acceptable substitute to actually playing the game.

17 real days, 5 posts (0 really).
And it's acceptable to not be lynched.

Is this the same on your home site, Gamma?

Actually yes we do have chronic lurkers there. Like, my first game there were several. The most egregious IMO was BlueDrago. Dude hardcore lurked until he gladiated then he was sorta active. There's no real activity rules on my home site.

No, because Navy is about to receive her third prod, which I assume means she'll be force-replaced anyway, so I didn't feel the need to go through extraneous channels. But your threats of gamethrowing and insults because you don' like the choices everyone else have made are something that is actively toxic to the gamestate. You've added approximately as much value to this game since I replaced in as Navy, so in my eyes, you are equally worthy of replacement.

why did titus suddenly decide that math was hard bussed after she got lynched but before the flip?

Site policy is you can have a player force replaced for breaking site rules. That's it.

They cannot be force replaced for content or beliefs. Lack thereof can be asked and mod call.

No, it's not acceptable to lynch. It's acceptable to replace and depending how often it happens, might be acceptable to ban.

Navy should be on more than 3 prods.
Navy should have been replaced, but because of the amount of replaces in this game wasn't.

So I can tell you what happens tomorrow.
Navy posts "Yo" and everyone goes "Oh lets lynch this stick!"

And yeah you keep saying that I've added nothing to this game. That shows how much of a shit player you are. :lol:

Whatever, I'm done with this conversation. I'm not going to turn this thread into anymore of a toxic cesspool than it already is.

If you want to help us win the game, awesome. If you don't, that's fine, we'll just have to find a way without you.

Nobody lynch Vedith because he's being difficult. Lynch him if you legitimately think he's the last member of the scum team and don't let him get to LyLo.

Because I need 314 votes to be lynched and sooo since people don't want to lynch scum they lynched me instead.

It doesn't encourage it. People get pushed for lurking, and bad cases get blacklisted. It's not like they just let it slide. It just has more lax requirements.

No, I post as if I might die, so I want people to remember that if I do. I can just say that shit myself Day 4, if I'm alive. I'm not confirmed town until I'm dead or a dead Cop confirms it.
