Open 708: Pick Your Poison - Game Over

VOTE: EP

To make sure it counts.

[PenguinPower]

So I think everyone has confirmed, when the scumteam picks the power roles the game will start (or when the deadline is up).

VOTE: EP

VOTE: PenguinPower

While I don't support your vote, I fully support what you have created.

[PenguinPower]

Basically sheeping Cult's call here paired with going and looking at Penguin's site iso and noting that there was no other game activity happening at the time, so why was he hanging out exactly?

I know, right? It's almost like I run a queue and have admin responsibilities or something.

You should vote EP.

[PenguinPower]

Also you hadn't done any mod duties for, like, the previous 12 hours - so were you just hanging out waiting to mod?
Meh.
Excuse sounds weak.

You realize there is a whole backend to the site that you can't see, right? Where the admin team discusses site related things?

I mean, if you want to use this as a way to get out of RVS keep on pushing it; but, it's a really weak argument to begin with.

[PenguinPower]

Why in the world should I consider the EP wagon more viable than the wagon on you?

Because obviously I want to win the battle of the skittles.

[PenguinPower]

I won't argue that it's stronger than the EP argument which is almost entirely for the lulz. What's skeevy about my response? The fact that I called out what you were doing? The fact that I called it weak? Both? Neither?

The skeeviness is that I honestly find it unlikely that you were sitting around active in a hidden thread while also claiming that my case is weak.
Like, if you have an excuse of 'I was in a hidden thread that you couldn't see and that's why I responded so fast'.
Okay,sure, maybe.
But by the time you're telling me that - it doesn't gel that you also think the case is weak, because you're having to defend that you were here and active on the site and are aware that the evidence I brought up doesn't support that, which makes the timing look suspect.

So, yeah, you're shade casting me, trying to distract with an empty case, and are on desperate defense.

That's skeevy.

To be more clear:

The case on it's face is weak. It requires that scum submitted their choices and mod was online at the same time, and scum knew this. Then scum would be patiently watching for the mod to open the thread so they could make the first post To what end? What's the motivation for scum to do that?

The case becomes weaker when you try to attribute it to me, because I am usually online during the day doing things.

So, I think the case is weak on face value. I also was active on site at the time the thread was opened. The two are not mutually exclusive. Also, where was I throwing shade at you?

[PenguinPower]

....sorry, is Thor's argument 'pp was online when the thread started = scum?'.

Tbf, pp's defense against this not being 'email alerts for pms' is also pretty weak.

I assume im being trolled with money's response to me.

I posted before the PM so....

[PenguinPower]

thor looks town. whether he is right or wrong about penguin, he is game solving.

Meh, it's too early to tell. This is how Thor plays either alignment.

[PenguinPower]

There is no motivation.
There is however a higher likelihood that a scum would be active at a similar time if the mod was present right when scum submitted.
You are honestly saying you can't even understand my issue now?

I agree with the statement "There is however a higher likelihood that a scum would be active at a similar time if the mod was present right when scum submitted" with the qualifier of "and the mod opened the thread shortly after."

However, how do you know that scum submitted the choice at 5:30CT last night? Without knowing that, your statement is irrelevant. There's no greater chance that the reason I posted when I did was:

a.) Coincidentally logging in, seeing an open thread, and posting in it.
b.) Being active on site, seeing an open thread, and posting in it.
c.) Being scum who somehow knew that the mod received my team choices and was going to open the thread so hung around to see the thread being opened to be the first to post even though (by your own admission) there was no motivation to do so.

I understand what you're trying to say, but I think that its weak. Hell, c. sound downright insane.

This is not true from your postings in threads I can see.

Too bad I can do nothing to prove otherwise. You can choose to believe or not.

My bad -you often say someone's case is weak and act incredulous at their rather plain stance when you're building them up?
I must have misunderstood you.

I often call cases weak when they are, especially when directed at me. As stated above, it does nothing to help me with your alignment since this is just what you do. I never threw shade.

[PenguinPower]

58 makes sense, let's see those reads then. Although I don't think page 1 reads can really help scumhunting at this stage.

It at least requires him to establish reasons for having his tls...although he later walked it back to gut reads.

VOTE: Maxous

I like this for now.

[PenguinPower]

PEdit: Not a fan of how quick penguin is to get the focus shifted on someone else...

Would you prefer I keep beating the dead horse, or would you rather I keep my RVS vote on the empty-EP slot?

[PenguinPower]

then C equates to a higher than totally random chance that the first post is scum

This is where we disagree. It was a good way to get out of RVS, but this is incorrect. I'm going to leave it at that. kthxbye.

And you are digging and dicking around with it.

I've done none of that.

(and you did throw shade)

And, I didn't.

Why Maxous over Moneybags?
Do you have no opinion on how Moneybags has interacted with both the push on you and Maxous?

Because I wanted an answer to the question from Maxous?

[PenguinPower]

> while not pushing any lynch agendas

Not pushing anything makes him a town lean? Why?

I made a good vote

Agreed.

I made a good vote

Agreed.

Penguin will be scum unless he posts a smilie in his next post.

Hm?

Already covered with my skittle battle post. Didn't play out the way I wanted it to, unfortunately...so...fell short.

I like how Thor focused on, or rather engaged with multiple people and dislike how PP primarily focused just on Thor.

Noted. In the future, I won't focus on the aggressive guy pushing me. Oh...wait...no. That's a bad idea. Next time, maybe in your two posts, you can put a bit more reasoning behind your statements. For example:

If moneybags is scum, I doubt PP is.

Why?

This looks a bit opportunistic to me.

Disagree.

[PenguinPower]

Meant to hit preview...hope the formatting worked out.

[PenguinPower]

Tried to catch up last night, but it’s my sons birthday weekend, and I got distracted. I’ll take a second shot at catching up tonight after he goes to bed, tomorrow morning at the latest.
