    I don't remember the game it was, but he was worried with fixing votecounts or something while having zero interest in the actual thread. I called him out on it as being wolfy, and got a mixture of scorn and ambivalence.

    In Sooh's last game, I called him out as a probable wolf again. He was scum. I barely escaped getting mislynche d1, and got immediately killed by the town vigilante.

    In Representative Democracy, as my teammate, I was literally begging him in our scum chat to please, post and do something. He did nothing but occasionally pop in to complain about the number of posts and do not really anything, pretty much what he's done here.

    Look at XCOM. How much time does he spend complaining about having to read the thread? Does he make thoughtless OMGUS votes then peace out?

    Nope.
    Hmm, but you leave out FrenchRev, where (on the public end) he similarly lolcatted and complained. And I guess for a lot of people XCOM was a rather unique experience.

    Here's some major excerpts from Barto's D2 in FrenchRev, where you voted him for similar reasons:

    I disagree with this. The former part at least.

    With this post I increase my total postcount by 50% (not even you can do that) so I'm giving you a lot of material to analyse.

    I've decided not to say anything when I have nothing to say.

    That is either a cunning Discworld reference or you've had some interesting experiences.

    You… can try to provide something.





    Can't you?



    Your best rebuttal may be that his only D1 activity in FrenchRev was:

    XCOM is more recent and French Rev was barely mafia

    I particularly took a lot of his play in XCOM as a change in style to be more productive

    As a recipient of Barto's unique version of the welcoming committee and me getting a bug in my bonnet about it, he does feel different. I feel a demonstrable difference between Bart in Xcom as opposed to Logic in XCom. Unfortunately most of Logic's play has been off the back foot so even if I did sense a change in playstyle.

    I agree with Monty in the sense that Logic feels like the "correct" lynch today, but illogical me would like to vote Bart here.

    Anyway fatigue etc etc etc neither have been here defending themselves etc etc etc.

    Basically yeah, I'm willing to vote either here, but I think I'm leaning Logic (unfortunately)

    At least Pizza's more cooperative about it than Kami.
    Looking back, this was weak.

    And what do you mean "unfortunately?" If you're town you're not hemmed into any particular read here, you get to say what you want.

    I haven't seen this much of a consensus of a lynch Day 1 though, this is what was bothering me earlier. To the point where you defended him, I guess Zack had a soft defense that didn't leave an impression everyone was cool with his lynch.

    I don't see a world, even if Logic does survive (I'll set aside that if he does survive it won't be because he did a good job tapdancing), that this won't be a thing for the rest of the game. His pressure has been oppressive to an absurd degree and the only way I won't vote him today would be because I empathize with him; this would blow as either alignment.

    This is super lazy, you should vote for your biggest scumread regardless of context except for very specific exceptions.

    This isn't one of them.

    I think thats towny from Fred. Same thing happened in the wild west game that he started to feel sorry for the guy under immense pressure and fred was town there. Not that its not fakeable etc etc but it's in line with his prev town play so thats :top:

    Agreed, plus Logic is just the kind of guy I'd feel really bad about badgering any further than I have. He's really sympathetic regardless of his alignment.

    I like him a lot. Fred's reaction to his push feels really good.

    Yeah, despite my misgivings about EB, I think he shouldn't be lynched here today.

    He's the low hanging fruit, seriously.

    In your experience, how often has the consensus lynch choice halfway through a D1 been correct?
