View original post1) He was originally flagged as suspicious for minimal participation, considered an anti-town action. He came up lowest in 4 methods:
I did- was busy at work, and since not much conversation had happened, I hadn't made a substantial post yet.
View original post2) Upon coming up topping all those methods he posted in to hypothesize about game make up, at which point I felt his suggestions strongly implied he possessed some game relevant information as the suggestions were otherwise random and counter-indicated by the minimal knowledge of the game we had. The principle theories raised focused on multiple scum factions, a rare thing in a game of this size and while grounds for a mod to want many players to help absorb the extra night kills it is very definitely not a reason for a Mod to want 12 players. All options focused on an abnormally powerful scum faction(s).
What I find interesting is that, despite your criticisms, no one has been able to come up with a good reason that Bergioyn asked for specifically 12 players. And I stand by my point that if it was as simple as "doc, cop, and some townies" vs "scum and a roleblocker," that he would not need a specific number- 11 or 13 is just as workable.
My post was based on guesswork and extrapolation- which, for Day One, is pretty much all there is to go on.
View original post3) He accused me, on the grounds I clearly thought he knew something, though he claims to know nothing. This accusation to be logically coherent would require A) That he had guessed and guessed correctly and B) That I was a scummer and C) that I would believe he had not guessed and D) That with all of these I would tip my hand so out of character and incredibly clumsily of fashions. All 4 of these improbable conditions must be true for his accusation to be viable, and thus far he has not even confirmed the first one, he has not yet denied having extra knowledge and has IMO sought to imply he did even as he presents an accusation that can only be true if he does not.
I accused you because you were being uncharacteristically aggressive. We don't need the universe to form a once in a lifetime conflux for you to be scum. It's just as simple to say:
a)That you saw me post something that you thought you could seize on
b)That for whatever reason (either that I hit close to home, or that I was simply a target of opportunity) you figured the best defense was a strong offense
I haven't implied I have any extra knowledge beyond the ability to do simple arithmetic.
View original post4) He was asked by multiple players to role claim, a customary request when one is considered a primary lynch candidate, which is obviously the case. He was also reminded that any delay would damage the credibility of his claim, he has neither roleclaimed nor offered any defense or reason why he should not.
I believe "roleclaim" has come up... twice? Ranagrande just (as in, TODAY) asked for one, and I believe someone mentioned it at the beginning of your attack. I'll respond to ranagrande shortly, and I ignored the original one because it was early in the day, and there was no particular push for a roleclaim (and I had other posts to respond to)
View original post5) In his remarks he referenced being 'bussed', a term regularly used here and exclusively to refer to when a scummer votes for another scummer. Revealing slips of this nature are not unheard of even very rare, but may be sheer accident so he was asked to explain it. Rather than claiming it was an innocent slip of words he instead claimed the term did not mean that, and replied evasively when told by the two most senior players that it only means that, including citations of the mafiascum wiki and a post where he himself asked what the term meant and was told, in absolutely unambiguous language, what the term meant, by the moderator of the game herself. He was also challenged to find any use by any player if the term in which his definition was used or even a definition other than the one given. He has not done so, instead claiming that even taking note of the usage is 'grasping at straws', this is not a proper offense but is instead an attempt to discredit the accusation rather than justify his own actions.
This entire point is laughable. What it boils down to is that I mixed up the meanings of "bussed" and "bandwagoned." I apologize that the instruction I received 4 years ago (from a mod nonwithstanding) was not seared into my brain.
Actually, my entire defense rests on the fact that I've done nothing wrong. My OFFENSE rests on the fact that anyone who's played with you should be able to realize that you have an agenda.
This isn't an either-or, and the fact that you're trying to make it one further speaks to your duplicity.
Isaac became aggressive towards me immediately after my big post. His entire case against me boils down to:
- beetnemesis made a rambling post with some odd theories
His other points are just bits and pieces he's picked up to try to make it seem like he has a legitimate accusation.
