Firstly, I shall open this post by expressing my apologies for my extended absence.
Now that formalities are out of the way, I shall append the following to my post:
##DeLurk: PX##Vote: BTAs outlined within my prior posts [55] [56], there are a few issues that I had with BT's posts during the first Day Phase.
The first being that BT's first serious vote [6], was based solely on the fact that SB was third on wagon. Now, given that these events transpired fairly early into the Day Phase, I realize that this point does not hold as much weight but it is still something that I keep in mind.
The next point that I wish to restate is regarding BT asking why he and PX are receiving pressure for making votes with minimal reason while Zakeri is not [23a]. As mentioned in my prior post [56], I feel that this is indicative of a state of mind that is attempting to shift blame rather than actively search for criminals.
Now, he does address this point within a later post [23b], however this seems like a weak reason to me given the existence of other lurkers at the time such as ActionDan and PX.
Moving on from this, I shall now address BT's posts regarding myself that occurred later during the first Day Phase.
As mentioned recently by Serela [57], a majority of BT's reasoning for voting myself [58] during the first Day Phase involved borrowing SB's reasoning for the most part and his further posts regarding myself [59] [60] [61] do not add any of his own reasoning.
In addition to this, the switch from having left his vote on Zakeri for most of the day to voting for myself and thinking that Zakeri is almost certainly town [61] seems quite unnatural to me.
Now, if we take a look at BT's more recent opinion regarding myself [62], it is again quoting SB rather than using much of his own reasoning. In addition to this, the reasons BT provides regarding myself are uninteresting. To break them down individually:
- Dormio's cases have been cherrypicked - Please clarify this matter.
- his engagement is unhelpful - Please clarify this matter by providing your definition of unhelpful. I have stated my opinions with regards to who I believe to be a criminal and provided the reasoning for these opinions. Does this contradict your definition of helpful?
- and I'll add that he wasn't helpful towards deadline - I added a vote to my counterwagon as the lynch that I wished for did not appear to have a chance at succeeding.
- didn't budge about Zakeri's claim - I fail to see how a claim should make me want to vote for myself.
- declined to claim himself - I fail to see why you require access to my confidential documentation.
- and hasn't posted even a good morning post so far - guten Morgen
In addition, regarding BT's most recent posts [63], I request that BT provide an explanation so as to why SB mentioning that I have been voting for BT for the majority of the day is worse than BT voting for Zakeri for most of the day for non-contribution towards the continuation of the game state when ActionDan and PX existed at the time.
[6] I'm a rogue. Wanna see what I can do to you with a tongue depresser? Because that's what you're gonna get for being third on the wagon.
[23a] So here's my diagnosis: Zak is allowed to vote really cryptic like, why are PX and I not?
[23b] I'm voting Zak because it seemed like he disliked the Serela wagon (and the late joiners on it) because of vote tallies (hence his vote) but then he figured out vote tallies don't matter as much as they usually do and then proceeded to do fuck all and leave.
[55] Following my previous line of questioning towards BT [18a] [18b], his vote on SB [6] seems quite lazy to me. His followup vote on Serela [19] further builds this sentiment that BT is not actively attempting to find the traitors in our midst that would prefer to live in a world without rules to govern our behaviors and instead looking for easy targets for the lynch.
[56] The first statement that I wish to address is BT's initial argument against Zakeri [23a]. What I find interesting about the argument presented within this post [23] is that he argues with the people attacking him by stating that WHMZakeri is guilty of the same crimes that he has committed and appears to be affected more by the fact that WHMZakeri is not being prosecuted for committing the same crimes as himself rather than the fact that he has been accused of a crime himself.
[57] When I reread, BT's Dormio suspicion is LITERALLY JUST SHEEPING. Other than prodding when Dormio dropped his dumb SB vote to retake the BT vote he'd used most of the day, but that's just easy pickings. BT's d1 is actually worse than I thought it was, on reread. It really just looks like him going, Oh Hey, People Suspect Dormio, Let's Quickwagon Him Now That Zak Claimed.
[58] I'd add on the topic of Dormio but I agree with what SB's saying and can't think of anything else that looked weird. I mean, I have my doubts too, 'cause I remember posts that made me think town pro-activity, but I know Dormio's capable of that. Muu. Amaurosis fugax.
[59] Why not Dormio. Salpingoophorectomy.
[60] OK but at least Zak claimed. Hello.
[61] Last chance for any of you stragglers to switch to Dormio. I'm pretty certain that Zak is town at this point. Blood infusion.
[62] I'm going to parrot the mentally deceased guy's argument here - Dormio's cases have been cherrypicked, his engagement is unhelpful, and I'll add that he wasn't helpful towards deadline, didn't budge about Zakeri's claim, declined to claim himself, and hasn't posted even a good morning post so far.
[63] Look, I started coming around to the Dormio Lynch when SB mentioned that he's been voting me for 24 hours for pretty assumptuous reasons without updating the vote. Before that point I actually leaned town on the guy.
