I lied, mountain echos never sleep.
I supose I will address what I fear is the easiest target, which is the Hakurei shrine maiden. I said quite a few times how I feel about this, but I feel the need to stress it. Read the beginning of the day. Really read it. The person who was doing the most early day scumhunting is Reimu. This is ignoring the gambit. Reimu was actually trying to put out pressure on her suspect (as much as one can for flavor reasons, but.. I have a feeling she was serious about that). She immediately engages Tojiko in dialogue and answers any questions asked of her right away. Like a townie trying to put her feelers out. It's hard to be that easygoing early on as scum and just give away opinions like that. It's really obvious if you just stop and look back. Don't lynch Reimu. I don't want your junk in my graveyard.
Then there is the gambit. I find it interesting that despite the fight originating as Reimu vs Yuyuko, with some small votes thrown that way, the current turned towards Reimu vs Yoshika, or Typical Loud Townie Lynchwagons. I don't exactly fault you for it, it's natural. The ones putting out the most have the most to throw back at them. The basis of votes against Yoshika were disliking attacks on Reimu. Except for Toziko. Who I am about to write a huge case on because I am that disgusted by what I'm reading.
Soga no Toziko: Your vote makes me angry. Let me review.
##Unvote, ##Vote Yoshika
Miss Yoshika, I understand that you are confused as always, but what is it that you find odd about Miss Sanae's lack of reaction? For what we know, she may still be busying herself with this 'youkai extermination' act that she has yet to spot the wagon.
Miss Reimu, you're quite vocal for one who claims to be fatigued. Will we have the pleasure of seeing you take direct action in solving this incident, or will this sightseeing last long?
It would be good to have Miss Mamizou state if her vote is serious or not.
These are all very good questions, along with a reasoned out vote. Unfortunately a search tells me that this question about what Yoshika finds odd about Sanae is not pursued, neither to get an answer or an acknowledgement it was ever answered. This seems to be a habit.
Mentions of Mamizou, in order:
@Soga
yes go watch the video
Negative, then. Have you anything in the way of thoughts? I would appreciate names of the perpetrators here.
Miss Mamizou, it's well established that you dislike Miss Reimu's trap. I would appreciate more diversity in your opinions.
I can put my finger on why this bothers me so much now.
It doesn't go anywhere. It neither cements Mamizou as a townread or a scumread. You throw out what looks like a prod in her direction and then just ignore her. There is no sense of pursual or interest. Since you barely have any posts and what's there is the barest of bones of input, this is a serious problem.
This is the voteswitch:
##Unvote, ##Vote Youmu
I do not agree to Miss Yoshika's actions being excused this easily. Noteworthy is her waiting on Miss Reimu's content before reconsidering the vote. It is just as undesirable as Miss Yoshika claims Miss Reimu's "wait and see" act is. Nevertheless, stronger is my belief that Miss Youmu is the perpetrator in this junction. The initial vote against Miss Yoshika was weak but forgivable. However, as was agreed on by several others at this point, the voteswitch is less so. As more people showed up to stand by Miss Yoshika, the persuing of the vote turned more and more into refusal to let go of said vote -- eventually leading to the switch, since the wagon potential was not there as it was during the initial casting of the vote. The vote against Miss Sanae, in this case, is nothing more than a filler vote to avoid blanket unvoting.
Recall that Soge was voting for Yoshika before this post and you can be amused by how much her points against Youmu apply to herself. The initial vote against Yoshika was weak = sitation needed. How was it weak? The 'real' reason chosen for voting is a point that several others agree with = popularity contest voting. What this post is lacking is a reason what Youmu did is scummy. It tells us what she did, but not WHY holding onto a vote until the wagon was impossible is scummy.
Also, this post leads one to believe that Tojiko is still suspicious of Yoshika, yet her later posts lack anything resembling a push in her direction. There's a weak comment about sheeping? Yoshika wasn't a target anymore, so it seems suspiciously coincidental. Reimu is also an on and off target depending on how many votes she has. Contrast these two posts which have no reasoning between them.
Since the meta is that the vocal ones die D1, so why would scum want to draw attention?
No more of this for the rest of the game. It's WIFOM-y and wrong to say the least.
Whichmakes me likly town, albeit, dumbtown, following the meta and policy you cling to, and thus, Kogasa is right in defending me.
Being right about something doesn't make one town, my sincerest apologies. In this case, Miss Kogasa's act of defending you may be "right" but it is also non-contributory and an easy way for scum to get away with posting. I see why people are interested in this lynch. Personally, I want to hear more from Miss Kogasa first.
My vote is here. Unimpressed by the defense. Not fond of lynching Reimu. Disagree with Futo; why is it townflail and not scumflail?
Excuse me but why are you suddenly not fond of lynching Reimu? You were all for it a post ago. Why unimpressed with Youmu's defense? I dunno. Justification is far beyond ghosts. I'm also not sure whether she is expressing interest in lynching Reimu or Kogasa in the first paragraph, which is worse. If I can't tell who your suspects are, it just might be because you don't have any.
Quite a few of the questions and opinions given are based around game theory. Theory is a good thing to talk about, but not when it ends up taking the place of any content in your posts. It's something scum are happy to chat about, it makes their posts look big and tells you zero about what they actually mean. I accuse you, Soge no Tojiko, of being lurkscum trying to sound helpful and ask the right questions while answering nothing. In conclusion:
I doubt the existence of a D1 'Serelapony' in most games, unfortunately.
It's you.
