Slorange: Keep in mind I lack most of the context from day one. Day two is the day I began to play and so the actions taken this day stand out most in my mind. Your post sets off red flags which I have explained in detail over several posts. Though I admit the information against you is mostly conjecture, and there are others who closely tail you on my suspicion-o-meter (namely Sotek, Granola, and Akuma). My major issue is that I am absolutely sure you are lying about your power and the nature of the kill. It's just too convenient that today started with so little information, I see that as an indicator that you are either scum or a third party. It just sets off red flags for me. Also those defending you kind of tick me off, I see most of their defenses as highly based on personal or dogmatic reasoning and sometimes circular logic. I think a lot of people are overlooking you because of your countenance and I dislike that.
To complicate matters I like making a choice and sticking with it. For me switching to Sotek felt kind of like a copout, it was certainly less interesting. Really, with so little information I just want to make a choice. Looking back, perhaps I have been a bit overzealous in the pursuit of its resolution, and for that I apologise.
Schazer: I am not trying to discredit your strategy. In fact I would argue that you are attempting the same to the strategy I favor. I have acknowledged that your tactic has its own strategic merit, but I dislike it from a gameplay and ideological perspective. Also I dislike your constant polarization of the issue. I do not think you can separate players into 'town' and 'traitor' categories based solely on what tactics they favor and what risks they prefer.
Perhaps it is our difference in experience but I just don't like the idea of threatening people so they will post. If we are coercing players to participate are they having fun?
It is clear that we disagree on some basic aspect of the game. I apologise if any of my posts have made you feel set upon or angry. I promise that was not my intention.
AgentBlue: Your point that I seem to be learning a bit too fast is a good one. I would however like to bring up something that I don't think you have considered. They wouldn't have just tossed a brand new player into a moving game without giving them some support.
I have a private quickchat with Dragon Fogel where I can ask questions about the game. He has not given me any strategic advice (beyond the very basic), but has helped me immensely to figure out the tone of the game and its general workings.
