I beleive I have been
trying to post something of usefulness since joke phase was over. Clearly, you don't remember. Yes there was a week that has been completly hectic from me, but this isn't the only game I disapeared. I have to re-check, but I beleive I also missed a turn in my only active cc game..

So because I mentioned what I thought I might do, but didn't immediately do it, that is scummy? That seems like a round-a-bout way to get to scum. Could I say the same about you?
Right with your answer below, you took a LOONG time to vote..With the exception I said i would not place my vote yet, you didn't say anything of the like, and you waited over a week to actually do it.
freezie, Monday - July 11th wrote:Same, I vote inactives on day 1 but only because it's day 1...Otherwise I hate to do so.
I'll see what Sax has to say, but won't add my vote on him just yet.
Unvote
for now.
Nice to see you were quick to hop onto a vote after you mentioned your possible intention. Wait, you waited 5 days and 48 posts later to get to your vote.
As explained above, I explictly said I would not do it yet. You proved I standed true to my words.

Nice to see your activity heats up when you have a vote or a FOS on you. Nice try and re-directing the heat.
I was online and able to see it, I answered. And, unlike you said, I am not trying to avoid the heat. Proof is I got 4 votes. I must fail real hard if I tried to avoid the heat XD

A good post, I guess, calculating all the posts from everyone, try to tell which is most inactives...but you're still not willing to include yourself in the post count.
I'm not willing to include myself in the post count? I'm pretty sure I'm right in there. Here, I've highlighted it for you. "I guess" you just missed it.
Yea, I failed hardcore here..I didn't meant at all post count, I wanted to say vote count, which was another post of your..Gotta have to look back and find it. Basicly, you summerized every votes some players placed/received, and point fingers at a few of them, while you had at the moment you only vote against sax, which I explained. Quite easy to point fingers at people for their voting patterns, without having one.
I give you this one, that was my mistake.

A very helpful post, once again.
Agreed that it wasn't contributing to the building of any case, but it was at least expressing that I was visiting the topic and trying to be an active part of the game. I'd rather be active with a few non-helpful posts, than inactive like you seemed to be for most of the time. There was literally a week where you didn't post (Thursday, July 28th to Thursday, August 4th). That's quite "helpful," too, isn't it?
Explained above. Yes I have been inactive for a week, and I didn't hide myself from it.

vote thesaxlad
I thought this as well. My ears were also ticked by Haggis wanting to replace him. I think I understand his reasoning about not wanting to vote someone who isn't around to defend themselves. But I can also see this move as something a compatriot might suggest, wanting us to get along with a replacement instead of a vote if in fact we are onto someone this early.
--Andy
First, you say you'd vote an incative, and when someone goes inactives, you do? Oh yes, you don't vote.
I think I rebutted this above in my post. Glad to see that my non-desire to get a quick-lynch on Day 1 is what you think is scummy. 
Except you agreed that he was completly inactive and not going to answer. Which was the 'condition' for you to vote an inactive, as you'd ''probably'' do it, in your own words. You also said there was a possibility haggis was protecting his scum mate, too.

Safari, do you have a 'time' when the official deadline is up? Like Midnight? or 6 PM Eastern? or Something?

An alright question to the mod, but that's +1 post that doesn't add much to the discussion.
Similarly, I think I rebutted this earlier in my post. At least I am posting, and not a mystery-man lurking in the shadows for a week without posting.
And I also explained that, thrice now. At least I had a reason not be here, and not giving an illusion of beeing here.
AndyDufresne wrote:AndyDufresne wrote:Vote: TheSaxlad
I think we've given him a pretty good chance over the last week, and my other suspicions have even less reasoning behind them.
--Andy
Finally he's getting a vote on someone, when everyone pretty much established sax was beeing voted for inactivity. Still going with the flow.
Again, so my desire to not insta-lynch is what you are working on? You're working pretty hard here.
Who said insta lynch? A week is pretty long to call it instant.
AndyDufresne wrote:Freezie wrote:AndyDufresne wrote:Yowza, well the roles I think are among the interesting tid-bits of all this. Roles seem to be logically (at least do a degree so far) related to the actual portrayal of the character on the series.
So role claiming from now on can be a bit of a double-edge, maybe even triple-edge---there is a possibility we could learn or feel confident who has what character/role if it makes sense, there is also a possibility about tipping off non-town folks, and also the possibility that non-town folks would try to use their fake claims, which might be convincing, unless we figured out if their character/role jived with precedents so far.
Anyways, I think I'm more confused now than I was before.
--Andy
Role claiming beginning day 2 is not double or triple edgy....It's 95% of the time plain stupid.
Right---where did I mention we should start claiming on Day 2? I said from now on. That means from this point, into the future, in English usually. I'll toss this back at you. I know you were joking, but I think it proves my point nonetheless:
Indeed, good point, I mis-read...but I'll say in any cases, role claiming always tips the mafia..
AndyDufresne wrote:Freezie wrote:AndyDufresne wrote:So is Gilligan going to be the focus of day 2 because of his SaxLad actions?

Also, I feel like we've still a few players who aren't posting very much, so much that I just went to the first page to check again who all was playing.
--Andy
Trying to get the head under gilligan ( granted, I agree on that XD ) but not getting wet still. Most players aren't posting much, but most actually added a lot more to the conversation than Andy did.
There are probably some players who have added more to the conversation, Commander9, Strikewolf, etc. However, I'm pretty sure you haven't.
I am pretty sure I have, minus that week.

FOS Andy. The majority of his posts are like this. Fairly non-commital and expressing little opinion on the actual scum tells. He appears to just be going with the flow.
Sometimes it is hard not to go with the flow when it seems like it is mostly a discussion with a small number of players that are posting. Anyways, I'm still building up my reads on everyone.
--Andy
This is where Strike pointed Andy's neutral attitude, and Andy's response was....well, neutral, like all his posts..
I think I've rebutted this point earlier in my post.
I'll go with an answer of yours to half my actions: I am pretty sure you haven't.
AndyDufresne wrote:Freezie wrote:AndyDufresne wrote:Okay, so sometimes I find it is helpful to map out a player's votes, include their initial joke votes, since voting patterns can sometimes shed light on who they vote on, or perhaps who they avoid putting a vote on.

[Died] Talapus Voting: Freezie,

Highlights over the course of the game so far:
- Fircoal has received 3 player votes.
- Gilligan has received 4 player votes.
- TheSaxlad has received 9 player votes.
- Strike Wolf is the most prolific voter, with the most vote changing.
I'm going to take a closer look at voting patterns.
--Andy
Another post where he actually post useful information, but still he keeps himself from voting anybody, taking the heat away from himself by ''beeing here'' when he doesn't help. Oh, and nice votting patern on your part. Or abscence of pattern...
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If anything, I am seeing a pattern here in your case. - Aim #1 - Try to establish I am not posting anything, or posting neutrally.
- Aim #2 - When I post something relevant, helpful, or full of information (you've know twice said I've had a 'good post' or a 'useful post'), you try to belittle it by my non-immediate insta-vote action.
That seems to be the pattern of your case. And it seems a little convoluted and tired.
This is the post I pointed out earlier

I stand ground on what I said: You point fingers on voting/voted people, I point a finger at someone who is reluctant on voting to avoid getting heat. As for your aims, mostly correct. You're posting neutraly, going with the flow, avoid getting heat by avoiding to get your name in the vote count, while you say to everyone you will/may/probably/should/think you'd do something.....when you don't. I beleive I see where we disagree: You take each of your post and rebute my arguments by saying you didn't do it immediatly. I didn't expect you to vote on each of these posts: I expected you to keep your word and do it when the time was right. Of course I didn't want you to insta vote/lynch sax, but you posted -2- times about it without doing it. My case is a whole, not a post-by-post case.
AndyDufresne wrote:Freezie wrote:AndyDufresne wrote:Looking at voting patterns, I'm going to throw a FOS on Freezie.
Based on his voting, and his descriptions of why he is voting, it really sounds like he is just looking to vote, usually jumping onto a case that seems like it could be gaining momentum.
--Andy
I actually explained all my votes, including my vote on fircoal. It sounds, however, like you are trying
not to vote.

Unvote

I am reluctant to vote unless I feel there is a good case or a need because a deadline. You, however, play the 'reluctant to vote' card, to make it seem like your votes aren't just votes trying to get a quick-lynch I think. Hence your move from Gilligan to Fircoal, which was more popular/gaining steam at that time.
I said it I dont know how many times now, I beleived keeping my vote on Gilli when no new things came out was pointless, useless and scummy-ish. Yes fircoal was a weaker case, but hell we'll get more info with me placing pressure ( Read: not wanting to lynch fircoal yet ) than me sitting down and keep my vote where it was useless at the time beeing. I try to vote whenever I can, since that is town's only power against mafia ( well, except the lucky ones that have power roles .)

Yes, mafias. one more post that shows an illusion Andy is here, but isn't.
Pretty sure I've rebutted this, and have already pointed our two Aims with this whole post of yours. 
Yes, yes. I stand firm on what I said.

Again, another neutral post with nothing to add. Especially since many discussed about other possible roles beggining of day 2.
See above.
Rebuted how? You post a speculation question, days after strike and the like had that conversation.
AndyDufresne wrote:AndyDufresne wrote:So how many prospect-cases do we have? Fircoal, Gilligan, Freezie, Naxus, Strike Wolf?
I'm willing to listen to all the cases, but the Fircoal and Gilligan cases have been scattered too much for me to make much of anything. For those of you who feel something about those cases, would you write up a summary post, so we could more easily compare all the cases? Ta1lgunn3r just sort of presented a summary for the Strike Wolf case-building, and Strike Wolf and Myself posted earlier about Naxus and Freezie respectively. If my post isn't adequate enough for case comparison, let me know, and I'll write up something else.
--Andy
Once again placing heat on a few people, without getting wet himself.
I feel like you confuse 'placing heat' with 'trying to summarize the game so far.' If anyone is sweltering in heat, I'm pretty confident that is you, Freezie.
Yes I got heat. Thanks for telling us about that, except we all know this by now. Unlike you, I am not trying to direct it in all directions. Next time you summerize the game, I'd like to see if you'll include that there is a case against you.

Based on what I think the two Aims of Freezie's post were, in addition to playing of the 'reluctant voter' to pass off his desire for voting as just...well...what does he say I'm always doing?

I nearly always try to use my vote, as, as said above, it's town only power. As for everything else..See above.
