Not gonna just sit on the vote, though.
You said this after withdrawing your vote for ed boy. It seems that everytime you don't get a response, you give up and simply move on to someone else.
I've gotten shit in previous games for sitting on a vote instead of doing anything useful. So I'm not doing that anymore. If I can't get anything out of someone and I don't want to lynch that person, my vote needs to be somewhere else.
Well, you seemed to be irritated by my previous analysis, so I offered you some more arbitrary reasons for choosing those two. How is that strawmanning?
That's how. You're giving a blatantly shitty alternative and treating it as an actual argument against my point.
I don't want arbitrary reasons. I don't actually think your reasons were bad. It just looked like you were trying to avoid betraying any kind of personal preference. It's overly cautious, and that's a scum trait.
When ed boy didn't respond, you didn't bother to press for actual reasons. Instead you withdrew your vote and started on backtobasesix. It seems that you don't actually want to go too deep and are just voting for pressure.
"Actual reasons"? I didn't think he was
lying. I believe the reasons he gave
were his actual reasons, I just didn't like them. Thinking something is scummy isn't the same as thinking something is false.
Zombie urist. You say that all I'm doing is complaining about basesix lurking. Reread, and then tell me...
where did you get this completely false idea? I mentioned the lurking only when others brought it up. The entirety of my focus on basesix at this time is from wanting a question answered. Lurking doesn't even enter into it!
Well then please tell me what else you have contributed in scumhunting. I don't really care if you didn't mention lurking, since that's not the point. I do care that you haven't done much more while waiting for your question to get answered. All you did was answer other people's questions.
Yeah, I admit, I haven't done a lot. Mea fucking culpa. I'm done with that now.
(For some reason, I thought the focus of your accusation was the "complaining about basesix" part, which is the part I was addressing.)
You know what, I changed my mind. I'm not most suspicious of basesix anymore.
This seems rather arbitrary. All the information was there before. Why didn't you look into it earlier?
Because, like an idiot, I was waiting patiently for basesix to show up. But as I've said, I'm done with that.
I dropped the ed boy thing because I didn't really know what I was doing with it. He was overly numbery, I told him why that was bad... That's all I had. To be frank, he's doing exactly what I would do if I didn't already know why it was wrong, so I can't really see it as that scummy.
And how did you come to that conclusion? Did Toaster tell you?
... Which conclusion? The "he's doing what I would do" conclusion? Well, I know what he's doing, and I know what I would do if I didn't already know why what he was doing was wrong, and they're the same thing. That seems too obvious, though; are you actually asking why I can't judge it as particularly scummy? Well, I'm town, and he's doing something I would do under slightly different circumstances.
Quite frankly, I'm wondering why you think Toaster
could have told me that. It's a judgement of my own personality under circumstances he hasn't seen. He's not qualified to say what I would have done!

See what I said to Orangebottle about using every post of a player as evidence.
How, precisely, are these scummy? There's no crime against being Captain Obvious. Similarly, while you say a lot of his questions are useless, he (and I) might disagree. What's the best piece of evidence you have against him?
zombie urist already pointed out your lack of commitment concerning your vote, so I'd like to see those issues answered as well.
I don't like Captain Obvious reasoning because it
looks like scumhunting, but it doesn't require any actual scumhunting
effort. Maybe that's not as big a deal as I think it is, but it's not completely ignorable.
His questions are useless (in my opinion) because they consisted of "same question someone else asked", "what is scumhunting", and "why did you do this". The latter wouldn't normally be bad, but the "this" in question was a post that contained the answer to the question. And the only reason I like his question of IronyOwl is because of IO's answer -- but he probably didn't expect that IO being an IC would change the dynamic that much.
I used all his posts as evidence because the thing I was trying to support was that he hadn't made any
good posts. If I had left out a post, someone would have said (rightfully so!) that this implied that I thought the ignored post was good, and that my argument was therefore invalid.
My "lack of commitment" was the first thing I answered in this post. That's not anything against you, I just don't want to type it out again.
Speaking of "not waiting for my current focus" and "being an IC changes the game",
Jim, if the Random Number Goddess had granted you the position of roleblocker, who would you block and why?
