Couple of things.....
I won’t quote Cayve directly because it would be huge.
But the first point was that I didn’t want to vote for raptor because he was awesome on D2 in another game. He was awesome In a another game on D2. And I said that well before there was consolidation and more in the time we were talking about lurkers. Having some frame of reference for the lurking was better than no frame of reference.
I went back and looked at the list I made in the Qt for ADK, and my scummy/lurky folks were Glooble, Raptor, Lekkit, and Mail-mi. (EFHW and LL were my scummy, not lurky ones). I know I posted that in the main thread, too, but I’ll hav eye go find it when I’m at a computer.,
The next thing argument is that I preferred MiX to MM and that is scummy. I haven’t played with MM enough to have a sense of his play, but MIX was/is playing more laid back than usual.
Then going back to raptor was scummy? That doesn’t make sense, but here is my thinking....I voted for raptor shortly after Cayvie because I would have rather lynched a lurker than MiX (this is a typical sentiment with me), but then the votes on him came in quick succession. It felt too fast and perhaps being driven by a heap of scum. I didn’t unvote because he had healing, I unvoted for him because of the speed. When faust called MM chicken for not hammering, I wanted to take a breath because that kind of baiting seems really weird to me. (It still does! Like maybe MM and faust are buddies) At that point, I it felt like the decision was between raptor and no lynch. So, I went back to raptor figuring that even if it was a mislynch, we weren’t losing much in terms of interaction.
I was stunned that he was scum. I haven’t been playing all that long, but I don’t think I’ve ever been part of lynching scum day one. Especially not in a last few hours zero-to-lynched move. I’m also stunned to be alive, figuring that revealing my draft order was a death knell, but that it wasn’t useful to speculate that scolapasta was #1 when he wasn’t. I guess I still might be poisoned, so we’ll see.
Anyway, being tentative and voting for lurkers isn’t a surprise from me. I appreciate that cavyie is trying to take a good look, but the LL follow is less impressive.
