After checking up on some recent newb games, I have found that AK is correct. While I still think the possibility is there (because past =! present), I do think it's less likley. So I shall unvote.
I, too, would love it if AK explained why GT is scum and I am not, even though we took virtually identical actions at the beginning of the day.
While I wouldn't be overly surprised if this was true, and I agree with wagoning BT, there's a distinct possibility that the last scum is a godfather. I'd like to hear AK's result when he's ready, but I would like to note that an innocent result does not necessarily mean innocent.
o, sorry bout not responding, but you said that you had more coming and i didn't want to step on your toes.
well, what your point against me looks like is that basically that you didn't understand where i was going with my "nonsense".
the whole witch trial thing was [what i was trying to do at least] was to prove the legibility of using the witch trials as an example of a mean-spirited case. i argued about the little things that built up to prove my case, while AKid just keeps trying to accuse me of being in kindergarten.
mean-spir·it·ed or mean·spir·it·ed (mēn'spĭr'ĭ-tĭd) adj. Having or characterized by a malicious or petty spirit.
[read Dragon Keep and you'll see a mean spirited witch trial.]
[I]"its characteristics remain the same: fanaticism, self-righteousness, abuse of the legal forms, contempt for justice. The anti-aliens purge run by the Attorney General Mitchell Palmer immediately after the first world war, which claimed countless victims, Senator McCarthy's witch-hunts after the second world war, the Watergate and Iran-Contra hunts, the trial of Judge Bork before the Senate and now the electronic lynching of Judge Thomas, are all instances of what happens when the fanatic strain gets the upper hand in American society."[/I]
contempt: the feeling with which a person regards anything considered mean, vile, or worthless; disdain; scorn. abuse: to treat in a harmful, injurious, or offensive way fanaticism: Excessive, irrational zeal.
now, just tell me why a witch trial isn't mean-spirited. if not mean-spirited, what do you think the witch trail was? [i am just want to get your view on this matter, it really doesn't make a difference.]
AKid's whole "prodding" towards netfinity was very petty. o, look at that, petty is in the definition of mean-spirited. petty: 3. having or showing narrow ideas, interests, etc.: petty minds.
4. mean or ungenerous in small or trifling things: a petty person.
5. showing or caused by meanness of spirit: a petty revenge.
this is what i was trying to say with that debate, except that this is a better way of course. [i am in no way trying to start this all over again AKid.]
I am not disputing that AK was or was not mean-spirited. What I am questioning is why you think it matters. Can you please explain that to me?
Is it possible for multiple people to have the same roles? I.E. two grenadiers? If not, I think that we could lynch either BT or EER, not sure which is scummier at the moment.
However, I do think that EER is more likely scum.
To give people a chance to discuss the claim, FoS EER
Who claimed Grenadier? I'm too lazy to search the thread. Or are you claiming Grenadier right now?
Anyway, looking at the dead players, I know for a fact that the rolenames are doubled up. Goat and I are both Soldiers.
EER's claim, not entirely surprisingly, does nothing for me. No time for detailed analysis of his posts, but EER, I made a basic summary of the points against you. Mind responding to that?
And for those who are voting EER and following Akid blindly (and Akid too actually) could you post a case?
I've got no time to post a case now, but hopefully tonight I'll get a PBPA or something posted on EER. Basically, what my case boils down to is that everything he posts is nonsense: he attacks people for reasons that aren't reasons, and "defends" himself by babbling randomly. There's probably more on him, too, but that's what sticks out in my mind.
Also, while I still think BT is scummy, I'd much rather go after EER right now.
@Goat: My top three suspects, in no particular order, are Jerub (even before AK's results, I thought he was suspicious. Net wasn't good, and the overall vibe I got from Jerub's posts was that of scum trying to lynch someone who got too close for comfort), EER (babbles scummy nonsense, avoids points directed at him. I'd probably be voting him right now if not for AK's cop results), and BigTime (I know iLord said BT was town, but I still think he's scum).
I, too, would love it if AK explained why GT is scum and I am not, even though we took virtually identical actions at the beginning of the day.
It's on day one. I'll post a PBPA of your performance after D1 on Fri., hopefully, but you really haven't gotten a whole lot better since day one.
I did one earlier. All of it still stands. But it's good to know you're not scum. I was getting a little worried there :rolleyes:.

Vote BigTime.

Also, even if EER is town, I wouldn't mind going after BT tomorrow. I still think he's a good suspect.

I agree with all of this. Vote EER.
Honestly, BT is next on my list anyway, so I wouldn't mind pursuing him tomorrow regardless of EER's alignment.
