I don't like the Axxle wagon at all. Robz, I think definitely you were in the right in your spat with Axxle, but you weren't like, so overwhelmingly in the right that anybody seeing it differently must be scum. Can you give more reasons for the vote?
Sure. I mean, I think I was totally in the right, but I was considerably lurking, so I accept Volt's vote for me as entirely just. And O does his thing, and so does Morgrim, so whatever, that's fine. I try to look at how people behave, if it is in keeping with their behavior as town in previous games. So those are, you know, I think they're wrong, but it's okay. Ftl at least gave some reasoning, and it made clear that I wasn't the only person looking more suspicious to him.
But when I explained things to Axxle, he did unvote, saying he needed to pay better attention. Then he immediately revoted:
Vote: Angrybirds. I will unvote you if you explain to me exactly why you are not mafia, who you think is mafia, and tell us something unique about Yuma, your twinclaim. Yuma is one mafia who always evades us.
Response
A little jumpy?
Backlash
Yeah, okay, really going to focus on this game more. And just in time! A little wagon is building against me.
It looks to me like O and Axxle voted for me because they didn't like my response to angrybirds?
I agree that he did exactly what I asked. I didn't have any problem with his response to my questions--which were just attempting to generate info on a new player I know nothing about anyway. I said, "Jumpy are we?" because he said that I looked more suspicious to him. As far as I can tell, his reason for being suspicious of me was that I had asked him these questions and voted for him. That's textbook OMGUS suspicion, isn't it?
Really, though, I don't think he's scummy. He's just an eager newbie who thought that the right thing to do when someone went after you a bit was to return the favor. So Unvote. But to be clear, I said he was jumpy because he reacted to me voting/questioning him by saying that I was suspicious. Which is jumpy, right?
I'm not quite sure why that caused O and Axxle to vote for me. Well, my cynical answer is that O is just being O, and Axxle wanted to get a wagon going that wasn't his own.
Robz. Why did you not unvote immediately? Saying "Jumpy are we?" sounds like a way of trying to get more people to vote for him without explicitly calling out for it. A scumtell in my book.
Revote: Robz
Um, I didn't unvote immediately because it was one vote, the only vote on this guy? And I was trying to get info out of him? And I don't see how my line about "jumpy are we" is an instance of the thing Axxle is explaining, nor is the thing Axxle is explaining necessarily a scumtell.
Admittedly, this is far from the most sure I've ever been on a Day 1 lynch, and no Day 1 lynch is ever correct. I was lurking--my fault, crazy week, moved to DC--and then I found myself playing defense over a vote and a comment that frankly surprised me it took so much heat. So the best I can do is focus on this little wagon against myself, and note that Axxle is the one on it who is definitely the most scum-looking. And other people have voted him for that reason and other reasons, so it seems worth to vote there. But, I can understand not liking the Axxle wagon. Day 1 with so many people is tough stuff. Everybody tends to run together.
For instance, has Sharky been replaced here? I'm okay with taking the still-hardcore lurkers to task. I think it's probably way too easy to disappear entirely from view in this game on Day 1. We don't want to let anybody slide by entirely undetected.
