Regarding Kefit: On quick reread, Kefit's arbitary case on Polaris doesn't look so good here. Keeps his options open by saying that he's willing to vote for three people, and does not explain as to why his Polaris case seems any better than the Nat Tea or the Nobu cases even though they are so similar and even though the Nat Tea case has more points to it (and more convincing and complete in general anyway).
Basically, his case is an explanation on Bard's opinion on Polaris too, but with a tacked on conclusion that he's 'not really derptown' without explaining why. Pretending to have an original case and not explaining why it's more convincing to similar cases is active lurking in my opinion and so I'm quite weary of him.
Indeed, the cases against Choja and Polaris are very similar. I prefer the case against Polaris because I've been keeping an eye on him since I called him out mid D1, and he's done absolutely nothing to help his case since then. In fact, he's made things much worse by being all but completely absent today.
I don't see his play as derp. Derp is running around like a chicken with its head cut-off - unsure of rules, unsure of proper procedure, unsure of how to catch scum, unsureness in general, and generally presenting an image of being clueless. For instance, I consider waffling back and forth on one's vote to be derp. On the other hand, not placing a vote at all is scummy. It's worse than simple lurking, since it prevents a player from having to make their stance known on something that will be confirmed upon alignment flip.
Then again, I'm not sure why you are attacking me on my vote for Polaris, and in fact blatantly misrepresenting it as "arbitrary", seeing as you immediately raise the case against Polaris on the same basis I have - lack of contribution:
I'm okay with lynching Polaris at the moment for the sole reason that he's not giving us anything to work with. He did not commit to anything on D1, and if he does not commit to anything on D2, it's impossible to pin anything on him by bandwagon analysis, and he has to be eliminated before lategame before he becomes a liability.
If this is what you believe, why don't you place a vote on Polaris? You're making me a bit wary now, with your misrepresentation of my case, weak attack on Kilga's softclaim, and failure to put your vote where your mouth is. But that's something I can store in the back of my mind for now, because:
Polaris needs to go. He's hasn't done a damn thing today aside from
making this short promise to deliver content that has not been fulfilled. Even Choja has at least
made his opinion known and placed a vote today. Barring something unexpected, my vote on Polaris will not change today unless Polaris posts real content of some kind AND places a vote.
Re Neo: The cop claim does seem awfully convenient, especially given the roleblock on Kilga last night. On the other hand, I'm not finding Neo's behavior this game to be as scummy as everyone else seems to think. The waffling on stances explicated by Kilga
here strikes me as more confused derp (inconsistency due to stupidity) than anything particularly scummy.
I'm inclined to agree with what Kilga implied
here. Scum's actions tonight will probably provide some strong evidence towards the verisimilitude of Neo's claim, and I would prefer to wait for that evidence rather than lynch Neo now and possibly regret it.
