I HAVE RETURNED
Anyway, picking up where I left off with Serp:
153: 'Screw it, I'm voting the lurker.'
The problem I have with this move from him is that it just feels...not at all like Serp. Just compare this to his play in Yume Nikki Day 1...it doesn't feel like he'd just go for the easy way out like this. :/
161: Tells everyone 'Stop talking and vote the lurker'. Admittedly the point 'don't lynch Donut unless Pesco is scum' gets him a little credit here, but still, Dorian feels like a cheap target who he doesn't really need to explain. If you don't need to give reasoning on your vote, there's no danger of contradicting yourself.
171: Blah blah blah, Dorian should go burn in hell. This gets really repetitive to read after so long. :V
174: 'Sparing cop without lynching lurker makes no sense'. Rambles on about how the best course of action is (as always) to lynch Dorian and let NF live, seemingly unwilling to accept the possibility that Dorian is a new guy. Why so unwilling to cut him some slack when he looks like he has no idea what the hell he's doing?
178: Posts his 'scumhunting', but half the post is just a tirade about how this game punishes effort. For the record, Serp, how does this logic hold considering this was Dorian's first game here? Unless his teammate told him explicitly 'Don't post', it wouldn't make any sense. Then gives two (very simple and obvious) points against Dorian and says that he's done proving his case. Forgive me for WIFOM, but doesn't it feel a little too easy making a case on Dorian?
202: Donut's giving up and admitting he can't hunt? Eh, Dorian's still worse.
Interesting how his opinion on Donut has changed from 'lynch Pesco first' in 161 to 'lynch Donut first' in 202, as a side note.
208: so yeah my entire case against Dorian was sorta pointless sorry guys
But insists he's going to watch Suwakodium carefully. Unvotes, leaves himself ready to hammer at deadline. (Obviously doesn't get the chance because Donut gets lynched sooner.)
209]http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=1128.msg43733#msg43733]209: Spends half the post defending his view on Dorian, then throws out suspicions of NF AND Pesco without bothering to vote either. Again insists he's watching Suwakodium.
242: Some criticism of NF, saying 'yeah you probably did get doc'd' and calling him out on WIFOM, but why no vote even for the sake of pressure? Also no mention of Suwakodium.
248: More criticising NF, but insists that he won't bother voting (not even for pressure) until Suwa shows up.
269: Calls Pesco on crumbing, more nagging at NF before FINALLY voting (but only after NF has declared his intention to quit :V), and suddenly declares after a reread of Zak he's willing to agree with
Affinity's argument against him. Where the hell did THAT come from!?
285: Half a post of modkill speculation, then unvotes NF because he doesn't want a quicklynch. Note that this entire time
he's had nothing to say about Suwakodium.312: Declares suspicion of Pesco and Zak, still no mention as to why Suwa fell off his scumdar. You can't specify that you're watching a player and then NOT SAY ANYTHING about them, surely.
324: Oh wait, Zak/Pesco makes no sense as a scumpair. Complains of Zak's flighty voting, NO SUWAKODIUM. Seeing a pattern here?
368: FINALLY mentions Suwakodium after being prodded, and says 'I didn't bother saying anything because he's done nothing scummy'. Why did it take him so long to admit he didn't have suspicions of him, and why only NOW after his weird 'don't lynch Pesco based on roleclaim' thing?
389: Declares that he's perfectly fine with the Zak modkill. Consistent, I suppose, but the post doesn't really achieve much besides that.
403: Clarifies his view on Suwakodium - hasn't seen anything scummy out of him, but thinks that Pesco's iffy questions about him are somewhat justifiable.
Calls Zak on WIFOM with Suwa's reactions. Leaves with his vote still on Pesco.
So after this analysis, I'm thinking I really didn't give Affinity the proper time of day in particular. He seems too defensive of Dorian and only has minor issues with Suwakodium, leading me to think potential scumpair. That said Serp could be linked to Affinity as well given his sudden jump on the Zak wagon late D2, or he could've been bussing Dorian on D1 to get cred and make something of a useless buddy but after Suwa showed up he didn't want to bus an active scum...
ASDF this is hard let's just take the easy way out today since Alice gave it the OK
##Vote: No LynchI need to be out of the house in about 20 minutes. >_>
Serp Ninja:
Alright, I've been holding Zakeri as my secondary or terciary lynch pretty much all game.
Actually like I just said you pulled him up out of the blue D2 so uh
My point was a valid one - that once you've got something solid to comment on, there's no excuse to just make an "I'm here and here's my clever way of confirming that without drawing too much attention to myself" post.
How solid is 'your response is too serious, RVS is RUINED FOREVER!'?
I didn't want to bring him to L-2, to be precise. Pesco had stated intent to vote him as well, but had not yet done so. Maybe a bit over-cautious on my part, but I was worried that someone else would bring him to L-1, and that a clueless townie (say, Dorian) would accidentally hammer him. Or, alternately, that he'd self-hammer.
You admit that L-2 is awfully nervous, which is one of my points. But why are you okay with Pesco bringing him to L-2?
Plus why is Dorian suddenly a clueless Townie to you? Were you honestly thinking on D1 that he could potentially mess it up as a Townie?
Okay now I REALLY need to go back later to look over other people
