and like right here too?




It is a classic move, it's called 'My opponent's arguments are moonbeams and cobwebs, I refuse to roll over and die because he's got a 'hunch'" It's classic, but it's classic normal defense, town or scum.



I don't lie about RL stuff period, I consider that out-of-game and while it would probably surprise everyone here I'm something of a byword for blunt honesty in RL. I'm pretty RBIRL, and will be busier than normal till the elections are over with and being in a swing state that might be longer than Tuesday Nov 6. There's nothing scummy about that, but its not just being busy, I've been trying to be more hands off in recent games, I've said as much before.



That is kinda true, irrelevant now, but I never really cared about who people would accuse beyond an off hope someone would come up with a case, I wanted to see who people didn't accuse or who they accused deliberately weakly. That had, in my mind, about a 50/50 chance of nailing us a target, with a fall back of being able to at least limit our damage on a possible lynch to non-aggressive townies or scum. It didn't give the scum plausible deniability though, I certainly hope it appeared to, good to know it apparently did. There's the plan by the way, we'd have had the list of who they were willing to accuse, or of who they wanted it to seem they were, and during the wrangling it would have been easier to note who dropped cases most casually, who pushed harder, etc... e.g., evidence, data, something to go off of.



I gave you that chance repeatedly, I flagged my vote as an OMGUS, you declined to really defend or pursue it, I asked you to withdraw it, you elected not to, so I plan to see you lynched. It really has nothing to do with my alignment, you should know that. Aggressive defense is what a player should do, in all cases and roles, hence I will do it regardless of my own alignment.



Why? You keep saying that but notice how no one is nodding their head in agreement. It's not selling, frankly it sounds more like you are scum, realized you'd over-played your hand and are now screwed, and you're thinking "Why didn't I aim elsewhere?".

I mean honestly, your whole initial series of arguments has a flavor of being rehearsed in your head as a scummer. It was like a litany of reasons I might be viewed, as a player rather than by alignment, as a killable target. I'm 'cocky', you say, and 'overconfident', and I 'muddy the waters', arguments that to me sound like someone coming up with arguments starting from the POV of wanting me personally dead, rather than in-game evidence of being a darksider.

So your whole argument, minus hunches, minus out-game behavior, is that having been confronted with a plateau I waded in with a minor modification to the existing plan that gave it some teeth and also had a decent chance of netting us a fish.

Again, honestly, I'd be going after you right now regardless, just on OMGUS and what I see as anti-game behavior, but I really do get a sniff of something out of place and I think you're going to be lynched as soon as Rana returns or Yuna or ? decide to flip votes.

Here's another reason why... you're at L-1... no voluntary character or roleclaim... why is that? Almost every townie RC's at L-1 territory without prodding. Scum rarely do without being asked for it.
