What should I work on/do differently for next time?
Who's the most likely scum partner for Deus, Scintillant?I don't really have any suspicions on this at the moment. If I was to hazard a guess, I would say one of the players that hasn't interacted with Deus much, like krusader/4mask, since not interacting with one another could be a sign that they're trying to avoid being associated with one another.
I don't have a particular preference one way or the other, I just wanted to know the reasoning behind the vote.At the top of your post, you vote Deus Asmoth. However, here, and throughout your post, you repeatedly accuse Scripten of having weak cases, bandwagoning, and general scumminess[...]
In addition, several of the arguments that you use to show Deus Asmoth's potential scumminess can just as easily be applied to Scripten. Why are you voting Deus, and not Scripten?
I have reasonable grounds to suspect that either Dorsidwarf is scum or Deus is (given that scum don't typically both vote for the same person on a D1 mislynch). That's a smaller pool to choose from the people that were on the Shamrock mislynch. Deus is the scummier of him and Dorsi, hence the vote. Doesn't mean I don't think Scripten is suspicious.
Do you particularly want me to vote Scripten instead?
The replies you gave when pulling your votes don't exactly make it seem like the answers were satisfactory. Your gut was telling you there was something off about Masked and you were still suspicious of Comrade, but rather than press them more you unvoted. Why?Other than the gut feeling, I didn't have much of a case against either of them after they addressed my concerns, so I unvoted. I view gut feeling as a reminder to keep them in the back of my head and pay more attention to their posts than I otherwise would. However, I don't see it as enough of a reason to keep a vote on them.
I've already told you that it's a speech habit that bleeds through to writing when I'm rushed, which I was when typing the response that seems to have made you decide I'm unwilling to commit to anything. It's also worth bearing in mind that that response was an answer to Dorsi asking me why I was acting over emotionally, which I didn't think I was. I don't see how anyone could be 100% certain about why they're making someone else think something.Ok, I'll trust you on that.
Scintillant, one other thing: what's the difference between Shamrock's defense of misreading some of Scripten's posts and you justifying some of your actions by saying they're newb mistakes? Why is it scummy for Shamrock to call himself stupid but not so for you to call yourself a newb?Now that I think about it, there isn't really a difference. That was hypocritical of me and it was my fault.
If you think it's suspicious for me to appear indecisive in one post, wouldn't it be considered suspicious that you changed your vote as many times as you did on day one?Each time I changed my vote, I had a reason for doing so, namely receiving satisfactory answers to my questions. In your case, however, I see the indecisiveness as scummy. You said earlier that that's just how you talk when you're pressed for answers. Why would you need to be indecisive, and thus, in my mind, evasive, when you're being questioned? Only scum would need to be evasive.
Why did you want another extension to day 1 when the person you were voting for was going to get lynched, and why weren't you quizzing anyone else if you had misgivings about voting Shamrock?
Why did you want me to find questions you missed for you rather than reading back through the thread yourself?
I don't like how quickly this Deus Asmoth lynch is forming.Why is this? How is a lynch forming quickly bad?
Scintillant: Do you believe Deus was telling the truth about being unsure earlier, and if so, is being unsure about things good enough as the sole reason to vote for somebody?I don't think Deus was telling the truth about being unsure. In my opinion, town play should be loud and confident. I think I saw it referred to somewhere as "boozed up and looking to lynch someone". Unsureness, I feel, is a scum tell. And no, unsureness is not good enough of a reason, but Deus, as Scripten said earlier, has also consistently been misreading Scripten's posts to make an inaccurate representation of Scripten.
Scintillant offers a number of reasons to vote Shamrock and backs them up in reference to actual posts. This case is formed in reaction to Scripten's questioning, and the vote on Shamrock is buried in the response rather than directed at their target. A great way to to get inexperienced players mislynched is to not directly question them when you're trying to lynch them.What exactly are you implying here? Are you implying that I was trying to get Comrade mislynched? You seem to be saying at first that my case against Comrade was good, but then go into observations about it and describe a possible scumtell. How do those three things relate?
Initial Conclusions: Deus Asmoth wagonned on the SBC mislynch and didn't vote at all when Shamrock was mislynched. Masked Krusader was on both mislynches with somewhat suspect cases; Scripten was on both mislynches with even more suspect cases. Cheetah and Scintillant didn't have amazing cases against Shamrock but they had cases. Dorsidwarf stayed off both mislynches. I'd be interested to see who they think is scum now we've had some flips.At the top of your post, you vote Deus Asmoth. However, here, and throughout your post, you repeatedly accuse Scripten of having weak cases, bandwagoning, and general scumminess, specifically here.
NQT: I didn't put a vote down by the end of day one because I was fairly sure Shamrock wasn't scum and didn't want to vote for him, but I wasn't certain enough about Crusader to vote for him. Perhaps I should have voted for him anyway, but I wasn't sure enough.Wow. That has to be the most uncertain post I've seen in a long time. This is a very, very suspicious post. You refuse to commit to any sort of position here.
Scripten, I think we can all agree that what you just posted is a big pile of crap.Why is this? I see no justification in your post that explains why Scripten's post is "a big pile of crap".
Most of my scumhunting seems to be aimed at Scintillant, who doesn't seem to be in the mood to answer my questions at the moment.Again with the uncertainty. Also, which questions have I not answered?
Dunno. That's just how I talk and write when I'm being pressed for answers. Why do you consider it worthy of note?Using those words and phrases makes it appear that you don't want to fully commit to your post. This could be indicative of scum, since you could easily deny any questioning of this post by replying "Oh, I wasn't sure", and avoid suspicion.
Bahahaha, what is this I don't even(I'm assuming you need my action.)Easy Peasy 1/5 Epic Failure
Donate my apartment to the cult.
Due to a mix up in paper work it appears that your apartment is actually owned by your mother's cousin's dog. Which has since died but has around 30 descendants still living and it has since been passed on to one of them.
