Onyxjew:QuoteIn other news, crap. I can't honestly say this was too unexpected, but with Spaghetti dead as well, I'm out of leads.@_@
Suppose that leaves me with either the consensus was right before, which didn't prove well with Irony, and that means NQT is the remaining scum. Not exactly going with that one, or...
I was wrong about someone.
Edit: No, wait. Just reread the listings. Could just be Tiruin. I'm lost again.
{Half-guessing isn't a good idea of planning and aiding your team...while it exudes honesty, it shows that you're practically lost - something people would poke at.}
Which I'll do right now.
Since you're out of leads, then what? Begin from a new point or don't mention that you're lacking in reads, but start a new one by asking others questions pertaining to what they did beforehand.
Other than guessing, who do you think are scum, and for what reasons?
Should be about why.Onyx has no reasons whatsoever except that he might as well bandwagon, his only justification apparently being a 180 from "I don't have any overt suspicion of IronyOwl" to "I've reread and everyone else's case seems good so let's go with that, which sucks but all the cool kids are doing it anyway." Like NQT and TheSheep, he's also opposing any extensions with that magnificent case in place.I suppose this is the part where your violent snap-back is going to kill all of our poorly placed assumptions and save you? A fair idea, actually. I don't quite like your tone, but I admit I was rash. You at least deserve a chance to defend yourself before we dogpile and murder you. Cute thing being, you just did. I don't plan on extending just to keep this game going. I now find Spaghetti scummier than you just because I haven't really made much of anyone but Quad, Sheep, and You. Gaze fairly upon this magnificent tapestry, I completely forgot Spaghetti and even so don't have nearly enough to make a case, I disregarded NQT because voting him would have no effect or point, you were already going down and he would be next as according to the census anyway, and I also discounted Shakerag because he seemed active and aggressive enough. Leaving me with one person who already had the ire of an entire board, and no one else to antagonize. It wasn't a real reason, it was process of elimination. Also, dat run-on sentence.
I swear if this paragraph of pennance gets me attacked for switching opinion, check the opinion I'm switching from. It was "No real point". Now it's "eh, why not". I see little change in opinion, only in execution.Onyx:A person known for Raeg? How fun. I'm actually going to try a non-BM after this one and from what I can piece together from the conversations and Quad's summary, it should be quite the menagerie. Fun.In other news, I'm lost with these allusions to Org and Dariush. I take it they're common patrons of the other parts of the Mafia board?Dariush is a player known for his RAAAAAAGING at various things, most notably newbies. Org is (was? haven't seen him in a while) a player with a very unique playstyle, mostly consisting of being as intentionally curt and unreadable as possible.Yes, I think I answered these above. Feel free to ask again, but I think you would be much better off convincing someone else as the clock is ticking. Tick tock, Irony. Tick. Tock.Scumpick? IronyOwl. I read through the reasons, and I feel they are good enough for this lynch. Besides, my vote doesn't exactly carry much weight when the Town has such a nice consensus, does it?This is a lazy, scummy bandwagon. At the very least, you should explain why or which reasons seem good enough.
^Weak reasons? Why, yes. But my vote carries no point or weight beyond some arbitrary ceremonial point. The die have been rolled, the mob formed, and the gallows built. The democracy demands Irony's blood and I have no ability to deny it. So why try?
Perhaps more importantly though, you don't sound terribly convinced, yet you're voting me as your top suspect. What does this say about your reads in general, that even you admit your top, willing-to-shorten-to-lynch-this-scumbag suspect is a shitty, vague, bandwagony copy of everyone else?
Onyx:Answered that one twice now. Not doing it again unless I'm given a decent reason.Onyx: You said a while ago(post # 364) that you were going to give us your reads. Could you give them now?
Another thing. In Day 2 I was much in favour of finding consensus, as were you. Unfortunately, that led to a bandwagon in which scum could easily conceal themselves, and with very few reasons. Looking at the old way, I think it's better. Do you agree?That's a bit subjective, truthfully. We did work well enough on Remuthra/Dice, and now you're flipping because it has now failed on Irony. Not really a conclusive finding, truth be told. At least not on those facts alone. I think we just got lucky with Remuthra because, no offense here, he was kind of obvious.
