Aage, we are just arguing semantics, anything brought up in attack or defense of a person could be used to build a case. The issue is if that case has any merit. You obviously see Jak's case as weak, and I agree with you, but to say someone should not try to build a "case" is not an optimal goal for the town. Even if someone has a vendetta against a player, it is best for it to be seen out in the open so that everyone can debate its validity, and should someone be seen as overreaching, then it just points the light on the one leading the charge. All in all, I think we are on the same side of this issue, I suppose it is just the phrasing that is causing the conflict.
Chap, I agree the OMGUS seemed like a noob move, and is exactly how I took it as well. It is also what led me to believe he may be scum, not because of the vote itself but what it said about the player (he is unexperienced). So my thought process is that as an unexperienced player, he saw the votes mounting on CM5 and got worried, not realizing how little pressure was actually on CM5. He made the post asking what CM5 did, without either looking back to the penis vote and figuring it out or waiting for things to become a bit more clear. The rushed reaction to the CM5 pressure is what looked like a possible alliance between them. A more experienced player would not have worried any about such early pressure in the joke stage. There is always information out there, even during the joke stage, it would be wise to dissect as much of what is available as possible. Day one cases are going to be weak, it is just the nature of the game.
Nice timing, eh, PCM?
