Okay so I know it's shield and there are a lot of people who don't particularly care for Shield but almost lynched in 6 days despite two posts and the mod saying he was looking for a replacement really? The case seems a bit rushed to me. Anyways, I'm going to note Zimmah real quick and then get onto who I actually think is suspicious. Zimmah. You are too quick to jump to conclusions. You need to slow down and think through your actions better.
Now onto a serious issue. Hippo...first he is the fourth vote on the Andy Joke wagon. He reacted harshly if jokingly to Spiesr's warning about voting him. he continues on to put Shield at L-1 on December 7th after he had not posted in thread since December 2nd. So his first vote coming back from being semi-inactive is to bandwagon vote an inactive into a l-1 situation. He later unvotes after some pressure only to revote a day later (putting shield back at L-1). He also pressures VS a bit to cast the hammer. He flip flopped, appears lynch hungry and is hypocritical that's at least FOS worthy by itself but when he gets called out on it by BG, he reacts harshly and OMGus votes him. His next few posts are short one liners implicating BG as scum before shifting back onto the popular Shield bandwagon. So what do we have from him.
1. bandwagoning the joke vote.
2. Bandwagoning the inactive wagon after he had been inactive for 5 days himself.
3. Pressured someone to hammer.
4. OMGus voted the person who called him out on his behavior.
This warrants a vote from me.
Vote Thehippo
All very reasonable to assume, and frankly I am off my game in the last couple of days. This is my last week before I head off on holiday for a month ... so I will be slow at responding from this point on. Thought I better let you all know that now before you thin
that is dodgy behaviour in its own right!
To answer your points. Yes, I was bandwagoning the joke vote on Andy, we all do it, but nothing came of it so I let it go - as did everyone else. Yes, I bandwagoned the inactive wagon, although with all the "he's coming back, no he's not, he he is" I began to wonder whether he was ever to be replaced and figured that he was playing a trick. Then he was replaced, so no point there is there!! I let it go, and I expect everyone else to as well, after all why attack you when you have just arrived. Let's see you make a few mistakes first
Not sure what you mean by "pressured someone to hammer", perhaps you can explain that. But sounds a bit like more of the same. Actually, not my style and I think you have been skimming. As to BG, actually I didn't OMGUS him at all, you definitely skimmed there. BG thought I did and I thought ... whatever .. I made a typo or two and he misunderstood but figured that it wasn't worth making a big deal of!!
So there you go.
So, back to the drawing board. I wind it right the way back and there is my big quote about spiesr. Have a read of that. That's the best thing I can think of at this time, so ...
unvote vote spiesr. That was back on day 5 and, as dazza noted, I was serious.
