Not sure how this has to do with hotshot. I mean i know why it has to deal with hotshot, yet your not talking about the situation of me vs hotshot regarding my anark push.
One of the points was hotshot was asked about this situation. by anamainiacks
anamainiacks wrote:Yep, heard of it, but the conversation has clearly moved past the joke vote phase. There has been proper conversation going on, and to continue pushing a joke vote at this point would just be pointless and distracting.
This is a 3rd party, backing up the anark push, in the sense that my push was not about a joke at this point. One of the points i bring up was hotshot not responding to this, or my comment.
This is the part I admit I misread the first time. Hotshot did kind of address it by saying that by the time he read it he probably didn't find it worth commenting on. This wasn't one of his stronger points but he wasn't exactly voted as scum for it so I don't know how much you really wanted him to reach back several pages to grasp at.
Storrzerg wrote:strike wolf wrote:b. Who he was on in the Ultra wagon: This is bs. Scum who know Ultra is not aligned with them would not want him unlocking any abilities by shooting him either. In fact, they would be less willing to consider this a good option. Also generally scum do not like leaving loose ends. If they felt they could get a two for one, I would expect at least a few to take it. I would expect the scum votes to be split on Ultra and Virus but if they favored one side, I believe it would have been to lynch Virus. As far as "if you legitimately believed they were scum you would vote Virus". Yes and no. If you were about 85% sure that they were scum than a virus lynch is preferable. However it is definitely possible to believe that they are scum and not being willing to lynch two townies. Testing claims is part of the game. And really least information provided? We have a near confirmed townie out of the deal where the only way this is no longer true is if his alignment changed over night.
Your first point is not valid. It was a hunch he would unlock abilities.
A hunch that mafia can jump to just as easily as town. There's no reason for mafia to be any less paranoid about any such hunch.
Storrzerg wrote: 2. hotshot had no idea if ultra would have the power to vig. IN any case if he DID know, then its even safer for him to push ultra over virus since ultra WANTS to be lynched over virus to prove a point.
What power mafia suspected Ultra would get or not is completely irrelevant. For mafia knowing that Ultra was town, it's a safe bet that whatever ability it would be would not be beneficial for mafia to see in the game.
Storrzerg wrote:The situation was a lover claiming to just be "confirmed town" upon being lynched with virus death. Thats a pretty nice thing for mafia, you have a townie that was being very distracting day 1, who is now going to be confirmed town, who doesn't have a large voice, who won't get shit done. This is a perfectly acceptable "loose" end for mafia to have, since it still deny's a lot of information.
Alright. You've said that voting Ultra for the one person lynch would deny information a couple of times now. What specific information would town get from lynching both that they wouldn't get from just one of them? Ultra's ability that he would have gotten had Virus taken the bullet for him? Useless once he's dead. Furthermore even one extra townie can potentially delay mafia's victory over time (especially if town gets a few good protects in along the way). So that one rambling townie you mention is a bigger loose end than you give him credit for.
Storr wrote:Again, no offense to ultra, but ultra was a weak town day 1. He is still a weak confirmed town day 2. My point stands (this was also if lynched, at the cost of virus). This whole point is an argument of opinion of me vs you, this isn't about hotshot any more. Infact, the way you bring it up, it isn't about hotshot.
It's perfectly about Hotshot. You bring up why going after Ultra was a scummy move on Hotshot's part over Virus. I countered with why I disagreed. You admitting to it being an opinion that voting Ultra was scummier than voting Virus just admits that this portion of your case was Bullshit and as I called it. Weak.
Storr wrote:strike wolf wrote:c. The whole who led Virus issue: Honestly, this isn't so much of a weak point as you just made it sound ridiculous with the whole "Invisible vote" nonsense.
Nope, I 100% stand by my "invisible" vote on virus. Again, this isn't about hotshot, its about you attacking me. The points made "hotshot /confirmed he liked all my points to why virus was scum" and then said "i was the first to vote virus". Those are the facts, this can be deemd scummy, in regards to sheeping, and misrepresenting how influential he was on pushing virus. Since his claim to "i was first on virus" was a response to being called out for bandwagoning on virus.
As I said, it wasn't so much a weak point as it sounded ridiculous. The actual logic behind it. Not really a problem. The way you said it. Sounded ridiculous as hell and I don't blame people for not taking it seriously.
Storrzerg wrote:So yes, i believe i had valid points regarding hotshot virus, and your response is in regards to "invisible vote" and no talk about his push on virus, if it was a townie push, or a scummy push.
In context, you are right this is where I did not adequately express my thoughts and is entirely on me. Anyways, like I said, you do have a point on this. He voted Virus based on your reasons by itself, I'd say that's neutral but if there was a point that was just bad in his defense was trying to make it sound more like his original case.

strike wolf wrote:d. Town reading: As others have pointed out it's not really a strong Hotshot attribute to point out all the people he believes are town day 1.
I never stated he points out all his townies. The point was he hadn't made any town reads day 1, and you counter with he doesn't "point out all the people he thinks are town day 1" This is more justification for him not having any town reads. Which is fine if you want to make that kind of a statement. My issue is it doesn't align with the argument at hand. You give him room on a play style that he does give town reads day 1, and they are often few. [/quote]
But that's the thing. He defended it. And then he defended it again until you were basically beating a dead horse while trying to point out how your townie reads were so good and proved you were town. It became a townie read argument.
Storrzerg wrote:strike wolf wrote:Now admittedly reading back through it there were somethings that stood out more and made more sense but overall I still feel like your case got weaker as it went along. At least until your analysis of his reads post. So yes it did bother me that your case on Hotshot felt like it went from well-reasoned and strong to rambly and weak. It also bugs me that others managed to bring some of the strongest points in short posts to the table when your case really had become weaker and weaker as it went on.
I don't understand why you avoid the good points i brought up.
Limited time and all that stuff.
Storr wrote: The whole arching point of these posts is "storr had bad attacks against hotshot" Yet the conclusion doesn't line up with the body of the post.
f*ck conclusions. If I make a 20 page post, I'll put in a conclusion reiterating my points of if I just have plenty of time to do so, maybe. I didn't really have a flowing conclusion to this post. So maybe you just missed what I was getting at. I stated my reasons. You addressed them. It's not like they weren't there.
Storrzerg wrote: He doesn't explain what was good about my push on hotshot. He doesn't explain Who these other people are that made "better points" on hotshot, nor does he explain "what these better points are". I'd even go to say, that most of these "stronger points" had been pulled in because of the pushing on hotshot i made, and hotshots responses. Does that mean anything? Its hard to tell since strike is being really vague about what he means.
To be fair, I did call out Aage who was actually the one who I still believe broke down Hotshot's reads list the best. I thought I had mentioned a point that TFO or Anamainiacks had mentioned but perhaps I am wrong...
Storr wrote:Ok so what you don't like over 2 days so far, I pushed aog early which seemed like an easy lynch at start, but it got complicated since i pushed hotshot. I pushed anark and then he went afk (couldn't push him more)
I didn't like that your essential push was that you were down for an AoG relynch post one of day 2. The addendum being there that you defended it by saying that you had voted Nark the day before which I gave my reasoning that you had long since stopped pushing Nark even before he had gone inactive one of your comments on him as a potential scum candidate (out of several people) was "meh might come back to him well see" which doesn't strike me as you having a very convincing scum read against Nark. It was complicated because AoG backed your case against HotShot which wasn't conclusive but did speak at a possible different relationship between you.
I'll edit out a little bit of this because by itself it doesn't have anything to do with anything.
Storr wrote:Whoo this is important. Where did hotshot read zivel town day 1? This was a large point i made against hotshot, that he had no town reads, and now you state he did have a town read day 1 and pushed it? Why would you not bring this up? in quotes, this seems fairly important. (i think this isn't true considering hotshot made this statement today regarding having a town read on zivel day 1, and choosing to not voice his opinion on the matter)
You quoted it yourself:
Hotshot wrote:This is the main thing I can't understand, is why a scum DD would come out the way he did... as mtam says, by not coming out then ultra would probably be lynched, and then if he came up town (which a scum DD would know), then zivel would have pressure and might get lynched also. The only way I can see a scum zivel coming out is if ultra is also scum, and he was doing it to either A. protect ultra from an almost certain lynch or B. gain town cred if ultra did get lynched anyway. For that reason, I still think lynching ultra is a better move than zivel, because I can't imagine why a scum zivel would come out if ultra were town, but ultra could be scum with zivel being town.
Read between the lines. He is saying a. He thinks it is unlikely that a scum Zivel would counter claim Ultra (you made a similar point I believe). b. Promotes Ultra over Zivel. Is it a strong town read? No but it's there if you just take the time to actually read between the lines.
StorrZerg wrote:So what do you think he was accomplishing with the attack on my case of nark (which had evolved past the joke at that point) to which a 3rd party responded, pointing out it wasn't about the joke at that point to which he didn't respond.
The case had barely evolved. I had a similar reaction to it as Hotshot as have others. I believe I've already stated this a couple of times. I do not find it scummy.
Storrzerg wrote:I explained why i was ignoring your case on me. 1 i didn't consider it serious, you didn't have a vote on me. 2, it was nearing end of the day and the focus was on ultra/virus/dd5/aog. Narrowing down what to do at that time was more important. 3. I had judged at the time, that i might be wrong about pcm, so stopping the conversation would be beneficial, since it was turning into more of a slugging competition of staggering posts. The matter imo, could be resolved day 2, or would resolve in the night.
1. Because I would spend the majority of the time on a four hour post talking about a case I didn't take seriously. You know perfectly well that a case can be serious without a vote so I am counting this excuse as another example of your bullshit.
2/3. And being that I knew it wasn't going to get anywhere because I exhausted most of my energy I had for that on the big post and everyone other than Pancake and Zivel had ignored it, I was willing to let it wait until tomorrow. Then you made the comment about pressuring you then and there. It struck me as a redirect to make the case seem weaker. Another example of you being manipulative. Surely you can at least see how this looks scummy to observers?
Storrzerg wrote:The delay of reads, has often been to cause attention, and get people thinking about what i'm talking about. Hotshot in particular, i made sure people became aware of him, to read up on him and make sure they would be ready to judge with what i presented. Its a lot easier to convince someone about something if they have limited knowledge about someone. If i was full of shit about hotshot, and my case, it would be a lot easier to judge and cut down quickly since people would be aware of his play, and the case at hand. And since my reads have been always backed up, there hasn't been an opportunity of people to claim, i sheeped someone, or that my points are not my own. Its only scummy if i had claimed to do something, then failed to do it, or sheeped someone elses read with out giving insight to my own. So Your whole point seems to be an issue with playstyle and not for something thats actually scummy.
I am mostly satisfied with this answer. The problem is that it can be a scummy tactic and as was pointed out can be used to garner opinions about a case before making it. Now what you would do with that information would determine more if it was scummy or not. That said, the generic stating of town reads bugged me worse than this.

I don't like you posting your town read on Zivel as some grand town gesture when honestly, I consider it an easy read.
StorrZerg wrote:I made the same jester, on crasp, no comment on him? So what if its an easy town read, i made points and stated my opinion. Even if its an easy read, you can still judge zivel off the content i presented. You can still judge if what i came up makes sense, if it aligns with what you thought. Considering at the time, there was pressure on lynching one of the lover claims, and i made it clear that i thought zivel was not the option.
See this is what I find really great about how manipulative this case is. The fact that you take things out of context to make it sound like you have a point when you dont. This isn't a pancake situation. I know you had read this post before posting this so saying that you are reading as you are catching up isn't going to cut it. I stated that I felt your read on crasp was more town indicative than your Zivel read.
Storrzerg wrote:Strike Wolf wrote:I mean I am pretty sure the major critics of Zivel were Mtam who stated that he believed all three lover pairs were town, AoG who no one was listening to and Virus/Ultra who had some bias in the matter. Beyond them, I believe the harshest critique of Zivel after the lover counterclaim was that we couldn't fully rule him out as a scum possibility. There was simply no legitimate risk of Zivel being lynched Day 1.
I don't think its fair for you to make that statement. Its hard to tell what would have happened, if people hadn't spoken up about their town read on zivel. Maybe tambo pushes zivel hard end of day over aog, and zivel is lynched because people don't speak up. Virus also didn't like zivel, and i'm sure a few others would have been happy to lynch him. SO considering how many people didn't speak up, we know at least 4-5 people spoke up as a possibility of lynching zivel.
Considering that Mtam had stated that he felt all three pairs of lovers were town before you made your case. I doubt he'd make a push. Well let's start with the people who started posting that they believed Zivel was town before you made your big Zivel is town case shall we? DD on Page 15, Virus initially pushed that Zivel had town cred as well on Page 15 (Actually I will admit I was wrong here Virus never really pushed Zivel as scum on day 1.), Me on Page 15, Aage Page 16, Mtam made it clear by the end of page 17 that he felt all three pairs were town, Anamainiacks reads Zivel as the most townie lover pair page 18, and TFO Page 18. Let's see that's 1...2...3...7 people not including you or Zivel nor people who obviously believed him over Virus/Ultra and we can't even guarantee that Zivel's lover even pushed him as a town read up to this point and the only one to really push him as scum was AoG. So yeah at this point, it's fair to say that Zivel is not really at risk of being lynched. After this there was one semi-accusation and WhatSausage who said we shouldn't take the case as a guarantee. There was never any sense that Zivel was going to be lynched after counter claiming lover day 1 and like it or not, that had very little to do with you. It was the players in the game who collectively decided he looked to be town.
Storrzerg wrote:strike wolf wrote:Of course at this point, Hotshot comes in with his list of reads and yeah...I want to hear more about this but right now, I have to agree mostly with Aage's assessment of it.
fantastic you want to hear more, do you follow up really? (not really)
The next time I really had gotten on after HotShot had posted, he had made his claim. I feel this claim can be tested and proven. So no, I did not find it necessary to dissect his reply to Aage's analysis when I had reason to believe he would be proven town and you pushing me to be shot and being non-specific about when you would actually form a case against me as to why I should be shot which is still easily one of the scummiest things in this game and the reason that I am still not ready to unvote you.
Storrzerg wrote:strike wolf wrote:So after considering long and deliberately on this...Vote Hotshot. I think Aage actually made the best post on this with his break down of Hotshot's read and honestly, I was leaning more towards voting Storr before that.
This seems oddly confusing. 1. the amount of effort spent into explaining why i had a bad case against hotshot. 2. The lack of evidence of the good points i made. 3. Supporting hotshot lynch because others convinced you (more than 1, so in addition to aage). Not knowing who the other people are. 4. Not really explaining why you find hotshot scummy, all we have is other people who did a good job explaining how he was scummy. 5. thinking he was scummy day 1, but not really doing anything about it.
I was trying to use that post to explain why I had made an earlier post and I was running out of time at the end to explain it fully. So I made it quick. Could I have added to the case? Probably if I really searched through it but I had stated some of my reasons during the course of the day (The Null reads, the increased activity when put under pressure etc.).
Storrzerg wrote:See this is scummy from strike. Earlier he wanted to see the follow up from hotshot about aage. Which he did follow up, and strike has no comment to make. + There is the continued pressure that strike make a more detailed read besides a 1 liner, which strike hasn't commented on. I would assume the lack of comment would be because he wants to know more, yet his actions indicate he wants to shut down hotshot discussion by avoiding it, and pressing myself. HIs explanation for the unvote, is entirely mechanical. There is no response from him regarding what he believes of hotshots alignment as of this moment, specially when he isn't following up on the hotshot lead he said he was interested in.
Like I said above. I believed the claim can be proven. Furthermore, you were giving me plenty of reason to doubt that Hotshot was indeed scummier than you were at that point and don't say I am being vague about this because I have brought it up more than a couple times at this point.
Storrzerg wrote:strike wolf wrote:What you did was suggest that I should be shot:
These 2 posts are at very different times and don't really have a relationship. So its strange that he pairs them up, as if to say, no storr didn't look for clarity, he just wanted to lynch me. Which is false. He doesn't address anything i say in the comment either.
You asked Pancake what he was finding scummy about you suggesting I should be shot. I was backing that up. As for why they were paired up, maybe because I was making my post about why I felt you had become scummier than Hotshot with that remark.

I really do hope you find a legitimate job some day Storr where you have to work 40+ hours a week to get by and can't spend all day on the computer criticizing others for not having the kind of time you think that they should. That said, bullshit. You know I've been busy. You have seen that there were plenty of gaps where I wasn't posting how I wanted to be posting. Could I post within the 4 day limited? Sure. Could I guarantee I could make a full defense in that time? No. If my schedule hadn't cleared up a little since last week, I probably wouldn't have found time to respond to this post.

Bullshit. I had a strong stance on AoG. I haven't exactly forgotten about DD, I am in the process of reevaluating him and frankly with all that's gone on with the HotShot case and trying to keep up with limited time, I haven't completely done that. I still feel his claim stinks. I am still open to lynching him but his overall posts today seemed townie. He expressed ideas that seemed more like his own than I felt he was yesterday.
