Okay, I've already sardonically snapped at DFR for this post, so I guess I can take the time to address it if it bothers you so much.
I didn't jump off freezin and then dismiss it, and you'll see that if you re-read the relevant section. I backed off after getting what I wanted, but even then, I noted in my very next post that: "Yeah I don't buy the whole "neutral" thing either, but his defense did seem natural and genuine enough to dissuade me. Still not reading town, but not getting enough of a wolfy vibe to sustain a vote on him."
The one thing I said was unimportant was my assumption that Gradiant liked seeing Haku made fun of, which is a personal assumption and not game-related, so it really isn't important. Especially not after Gradiant told me in as many words that it wasn't necessarily true.

That said, let me leave you this:

1. dbp is leanin' townie based off tone, early posting. Subject to change but dbp tends to be just as obvious as greggles makes it sound. Unless he's SK. But not worth lyncing D0 or even really discussing atm.
2. No point in discussing if I trust Charu or not, because until a counter-claim or something so scummy it can't be ignored happens, I'm just gonna let Charu do birdstuff.
3. Haku's D0 is absolute shit and while a lynch on him is certainly worth discussing, my conscience got out today and is considering letting it slide a little. But I wouldn't really object.
4. I may or may not be absent a bit later in the evening / drunk.
5. Saturday I will be out with the girlfriend finishing up her birthday gift (which is why I may be gone later tonight.)
6. I guess you could say I'm a little weary of freezin. Just weary though.

Thank you. Don't be bothered, I just wanted to see where you stood, considering that you were actively posting at the time I asked, but the posts themselves didn't carry much game-related content.

I lurked up to page 13 on my phone but didn't post because phoneposting sucks. Here's a few impressions:

- Charu is almost surely actually the bodyguard blah blah blah there's no point in me parroting the same analysis that people have already done.

- I don't like Haku, I get that he does questionable plays as both alignments but even then his questionable posts this game are lacking the genuineness that I read in his questionable posts last game.

- Gradiant is a funny fellow and his posts look natural. I don't know if he usually manages to play along well as a wolf, but without knowing his meta I'm giving him a townlean

- Freeze is weird. I don't see him as particularly town-leaning or scum-leaning right now but I'll be sure to keep an eye on him

I normally don't criticize your posts, but that one is a bad idea.

I still find ShadoWolfe's post odd because of just how out of nowhere it was, and I don't really follow his reasoning. but the quotes he used were legit. my bad.

I'm sick my brain is not working don't blame me

Honestly I think it's kind of weird that you're making such a big deal out of it. If I had made an incorrect statement like that on purpose, don't you think I would have had a reason to do it, and would therefore defend the point? I guess my question is: why would I purposefully craft a lie like that and then take it back right away? doesn't make much sense to me

Yeah, I was gonna ask you where you seemed to have gotten the idea that I was misquoting Freezin and leaving out context in order to suit a predetermined agenda, but you followed up with an admission of having misread it, so I'm cool off that.

I'm confused as to how that post would strike you as weird and out of nowhere, though. I said all this before, but I had read Gradiant's push on Haku as a town-aligned push to see how Haku would respond under pressure. Then, out of nowhere, freezinIce had called him out on it and made a big deal, and his progression seemed really really weird to me. I isolated his posts to better see where he stood, and, as I said in the post you find so weird, he went from one extreme to the other pretty quickly, so I noted it and pushed him (with a vote and a callout). Once I was satisfied that his defense seemed genuine (despite refusing to admit his fault), I backed off and stated why I had done so.

I've said all this before, though, so it seems a bit odd to me that you'd think my push on Freezin is so odd and out of nowhere...

This, on the other hand, I can totally agree with!

[inDheart]

drunk posting isn't against forum rules though? ...have i been playing these games all wrong

[FreezinIce]

My guts tells me to vote gradiant.

I don't like that your trying to stir up stuff and start conflicts. I mean yes this is nessecary to a certain degree but theres a line between stimulating conversation and attacking and making aggressive points and stances just for the sake of doing so and in my mind you've crossed it. Being on the attack early isn't going to deflect attention in my mind. I want some pressure put on you to let you know that just because your throwing your weight around doesn't mean I'm going to give you an automatic pass.

You want to strike back at me and make some pointless connections? Bring it on. My vote will still be here till I get a different feel from your posts

[inDheart]

i see some things to respond to, gotta get my computer to not fumble all over these keys

So you're voting me because I'm stirring up arguments to get reads on people. You're essentially mad at me because I called you out for being defensive with haku.

[Gradiant]

You want me to do nothing and talk shit on myself? That's not a very good way to play a day 1

[Hakulyte]

Tell me more about it coach.

[Gradiant]

So you can just suck it up and post with some reasonability and maybe I won't think you're scummy

[Gradiant]

Called in to work early. I'm supposed to be off 9:30 server.

[FreezinIce]

Yes, you certainly have. There isn't any point in a good ol' game of TWG if at least 30% of it isn't spent inebriated

[juckter1]

Off to eat I'll post stuff in like half an hour
