WW14 - The Edge of Reason

Bigger, if you're still around what are your views on twinkletoes at this point in the game?

null.

hell if I know, he hasn't really contributed much.

since you asked nicely, I went back and read all of tt'S posts (all 7 of them). really not much content at all, although it is ironic to me that he voted for Sareln (and apparently will end the day with his vote on Sareln) because Sareln wasn't contributing. Sareln could never be accused of spamming, but he certainly has contributed more than TT.

That said, I'm not sure that really reads wolfish to me.

Then in his earlier scuffle with Rowain, there was an accusation from Rowain about him mis-reading his posts to get a case.

Sure, but do you think I was misreading him with the accusation?

VM can't even be bothered to present evidence against me.

This is true. And I also really dislike this post, when I tried to prod him for it:

Wh4t, 4m 1 sudd3nly 1n cust0dy? M4k3 y0ur 0wn r34ds!

His aggressive play style is just that: a play style, so it's hard to draw much from it. But the above and a couple of other posts make me feel like he could be scum hiding behind a cavalier attitude. It's always useful for scum to appear reckless and impulsive (if they can get away with it), because they can then act much more erratically without justifying their behavior.

To put things into perspective, VM suspected me and therefore decided to go through all my posts and comment on every one of them, but is still unable or unwilling to state any kind of reason for why Bigger is scum.

Waterbat, same question to you actually?

Funny you would ask. Before writing the last line of my post above (and before seeing your crosspost to Bigger), I pulled out a vote vs. Twinkletoes.

It went something to the effect of:

I have argued that lurkers arent necessarily reasonable lynch targets, especially if a wagon forms on a lurker - we get nothing, BUT setting yourself up to get away with lurking does appear suspicious. So therefore, I am going to vote Twinkletoes89 due to his post about limited accessibility and not throwing his vote around.

So why didn't i follow through?
1) I know that TT is being truthful and will be busy the next day or so as he has indicated this in other fora.
2) My argument didn't seem particularly strong.


Also I didn't agree with zak's post

I suggest lynching Twinkletoes.

I don't like how he went from "lets not think of voting him off just because of his possible post restriction" in his first post to "getting bored of making one up already?" in his second post. It's not exactly a contradiction, but it's a notable change in tone.

Sort of trying to keep my eye on both the Spain v. Portugal match & this game at the same time.

Huh an American watching real football (yes I know you call it soccer )

As I can't do both I hope there is no overtime. And I would like some more votes on Vm

Deadline's in 2:13 as of this post.

waterbat you don't have much time. Your options seem to be Meiz or VM at this point. not afraid to bus your packmate and vote VM, I hope .

[zakalwe]

But I don't like VM's repeated insistence on bandwagoning - that and he says if you're not bandwagoning the person he wants you to then you must be suspicious too. This is my hesitation against voting for Bigger. But novice seems to think that this is indicative of how the game is played on other sites.

Aren't you leaning a bit much on what you think Novice thinks about how the game is played on other sites? I have come across players who argue strongly that day 1 should be all about pushing the first bandwagon to come along until the player in question claims, and then lynch said person regardless of his claim. I don't feel obliged to agree with that philosophy even if those players may have played more games than me. Still, that may genuinely be the way some players approach the game, so I tried to figure out if VM was one of them, by asking him if he was voting purely on game theoretical grounds. He denied that.
