Long post ahead:
I dunno if I'm quite ready to hop on this Watno wagon. Some people seem a little eager to accept ashersky's story as if it directly implicates Watno, when there are still a lot of details missing. I went through and found a brief history of Watno and ashersky:
Here is Watno not wanting to participate in the universe claim, then conceding genre:
I know the mod might be lying, but since he said giving away fluff information in our pms might hurt, i don't see the point in doing that, so I wont give you the answer to my universe and everything, but maybe someone can explain this to me?
Oh, I just saw theorel had already explained his reasoning, I missed that somehow.
So I'll say this much: Genre: Science-Fiction
Watno then calls out a few people for lurking (he calls out me in the post directly following), and votes ashersky based on the quoted post (he actually votes me based on a counting error and then votes ashersky again but I'm condensing):
I looked through the posts again and noticed that the following people havent neither claimed their genre/universe
nor given a reason why they dont, even though they have been posting:
Captain_Frisk, Morgrim7, O, ashersky
Especially, I noticed this:
Is 10 votes a lynch?
And how do you define genre? Isn't everyone saying fantasy a bit uninformative, since that could mean anything?
And is it geeky to think a buffyverse bastard role mafia game would be awesome?
with no mention of the genre/universeclaim later. This seems to be kinda dodgy to me. vote: ashersky
I'd like to know from all of you why youre ignoring this issue in your posts totally.
Watno then ended up on the pps wagon. Note that he was among the very few who never gave a universe claim on D1.
Meanwhile, ashersky also got away with never giving us a universe claim on D1. This is all he ever said:
Do I really need to genreclaim for anyone to guess? Does literature count as a genre?
ashersky then put an odd vote on cayvie close to the deadline, which I mentioned I thought was suspicious:
Read through all the ftl posts and while nothing stuck out I can see why some might be uneasy about him. I get a completely neutral read and that troubles me for some reason.
Am I crazy for agreeing?
The deadline is creeping up, isn't it? Anyone else think Cayvie's successfully ducked attention? May I add a <b>Vote: Cayvie</b> even if it doesn't get us closer to a lynch? Will you all be disappointed I didn't jump on a wagon?
I don't think people will be disappointed, but it's a matter of getting 9 people to agree with you in less than 5 hours. But the standard rules apply even under pressure: if you strongly feel that someone is town, don't vote for them.
I think the reason you guys are getting such a neutral read is because his posts are all fluff, there's no real content, just the illusion of content. Trust me, all scum wants/needs to do day one is to just skate through and survive.
Man this reeeeeaaaally makes me want to vote ashersky, since he's been flying under the radar too, and then comes in 5 hours before the deadline to cast a meaningless vote on someone with no chance of being lynched to appear involved. (btw, where's Archetype and Frisk in all this?) I'm not so much disappointed as suspicious, so I'll save a FoS: ashersky for D2.
Jump to today and we have this:
Is anyone Darth Vader? Does that make sense to anyone?
and
I am not from Star Wars and I am not your father (i.e. Darth Vader)
Then asher votes Watno, gives us cryptic stuff about the Imperial March, others pile on, yada yada yada.
Sorry for the super long post. I'm not sure exactly what to make of all this but I wanted to go back and get this all in one place, and see what others think. I find both of them a bit suspicious overall, especially since
neither has given a universe claim.
I'm also really curious about what Watno has to say about these recent accusations.
