Well, then, this tells us there are three scum. Very informative of you, Rat, another 4 stars. So who is the scum? Tonfa is an obvious choice. I presented a case against him the previous day, and he conveniently found a way to divert attention from himself towards the stumbling Tom. It could have been an honest to goodness mistake – five of us voted Tom, after all, and others such as LD expressed a desire to do so, only avoiding hammering before other people could weigh in/Tom could produce a stellar defense. Apparently.
However this leaves us with the problem that whether a malicious push to deflect attention or something far less sinister, Tonfa has posted infrequently, and has contributed next to nothing to the game other than this recent Tom affair. If there is a lurker in this game, it would be Tonfa, and I find this very troubling.

Does 'or such' include periods? Question marks? Exclamation marks? Parentheses? Quotation marks? If not, why not? If so, why are you using them?
Please define 'or such' clearly.

I have no objection to this. As a critic (and, by the way, this post of yours gets 4 stars of informativeness) I happen to be a vanilla town. My restriction had been detailed amply already previously, and I haven't had it changed. I would suspect you for claiming that, but Tom's words about a warning re: breaking restrictions was apparently right, as I can't see why he'd lie about that as town, so I suppose your change is also possible.
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=572.msg12449#msg12449Yes, you've been saying you don't like me for quite a while, Excal. I've noticed. 3 stars of persistence, for you. It's hardly anything recent and whatever arguments I present end up being dismissed in favor of parts you cherry pick, as if they devalue the entire thing.
But what about answering some of the questions towards you instead to our satisfaction? I won't press you on the things others don't like about you. All I want to know at the moment is what I asked the previous day: why exactly did you not vote for someone you believed was scum? In fact, why did you vote elsewhere? I can see LD's reasoning in wishing to wait for Tom to talk more, or for other people to perhaps comment on the matter. But you accepted the Tom lynch as a done deal, and yet placed your vote elsewhere. I find this puzzling to the extreme. I find your avoidance on the matter even more puzzling. It wasn't decided, you claim? Yeah, that's not what you said here:
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=572.msg12373#msg12373Let's call it 3 stars and move on to the quote.
So... so... I know, I know Tom is probably going to be pushed...
And then here is a token of your own thoughts on Tom, from the same post:
I'm sorry Tom... really, I am, but... Well... That darker me, she wants me to talk, and... well... all I can hope to do is put it all in my words. Please forgive me!
If any of this or what follows it is an actual defense of Tom, I must've missed it.
So, I find myself forced to ask again: if you saw Tom as scummy due to an apparent slip and other matters, why did you not vote for him? If you had something to object to in the case against Tom, where was it?
I cite your next post (
http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=572.msg12406#msg12406 ) which gets 3 more stars and came a few minutes before my vote as further evidence. By that point, Tom HAD spoken. Also, I stated my intent to hammer him and my reasoning for this, as well as the time I set for this. I specifically stated I was going to wait if there was a request for such. You neither clearly asked for more time, defended him nor voted him yourself.
It is as you said. We hadn't heard all of his words, and there was no proof yet that Mr. Thomas was going to be pushed.
This is true… for the situation back then (the original post of yours I was commenting on). But what about the situation at the time you made that new post of yours? It was already after Tom's arguments. You speak about me and OK, yes… but none of your words actually constitute a defense of Tom. I could understand if you said "he must've gotten a warning, I believe that, now you I don't trust and everyone should switch their votes to you instead". I tried something similar with smodge. But that's not how you acted. You accepted the Tom lynch without a pro-Tom argument, while pointing fingers elsewhere. And you never actually took the time to go change your vote to make your stance against me clear while still voting for what we all considered near-confirmed scum with no single challenge against it. Why didn't you go along the lines of "FoS Corwin, Vote Tom" despite having no defense for Toms apparent breaking of his restriction?
I find this incredibly scummy of you.

http://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=572.msg12487#msg12487A three star post of annoyance. And not just at the failure to use proper tags. People keep on going "I think I know what you mean but—"
Yeah, no. I, for one, don't get where it's headed, so why don't you clear that up for me? I don't mind waiting until OK and Andrew post for you to do so, just as long as you revisit this.
And speaking of revisiting things… this entire post is intended to present questions to Andrew and Excal, and to restate what case exists against our lurker Tonfa. Given it's LYLO I hesitate to outright suggest a lurker lynch, but he better talk today, and a lot. On Excal and Andrew, I'd like to see some responses first, before deciding. This leaves Yakumo and OK, whom I can't really read either way, and LD who I still think is both weird and lurking. But she's no longer my prime candidate, and with three scum around I can't keep on looking just for the one.
