hurrdurr d1 walls. I'm just going to leave all the quotes after the first out of this for the sake of everyone's sanity.
How did you even arrive to that conclusion? And that whole "Prod votes are not in town's best interest", I can't help but read that as "Prod votes are as scummy as I feel like interpreting them at the time".
Okay, you know what? Since you seem to interpret anything that is not stated as if it is an absolute fact as wishy-washyness (which is largely irritating to me because I tend to word things this way a lot), let me rephrase that.
Prod votes are scummy because they allow scum to place their vote on a player without giving out a proper case on them or holding onto opinions. They are not even proper methods of pressure because when the target returns you're obligated to remove your vote and have effectively just gone through a stretch of time without doing anything of note.
Your prod vote in particular reads like a textbook example of that. You dropped your previous case and had nobody else to vote, so you placed your vote on a lurker only to take it away as soon as they responded. Was there really any point in voting them in the first place? No, because it's just a trick to make you look like you're doing something when you aren't. Just because there were lots of lurkers last game does not mean D1 LALu is a valid tactic.
You dropping the case on Polly is just what I gathered from your post, since you unvoted him in exchange for a much weaker case. If you still think Polly looks like scum, then that technically makes your exchange for a lurker prodvote even worse.
Yes, I expressed irritation with PX disappearing. Did I vote him? No, because his disappearance wasn't actually scummy so much as annoying. Not seeing a problem here, since I was going after who I believed to be scum rather than parking my vote on him until I could think of something better. The issue with you is not that you disliked him not being around, it's with your vote on him because of that.
Not agreeing that my reasoning is shoddy, otherwise I wouldn't be voting you. See above paragraphs for defense on it. The Polaris point is silly considering in that post I had
just said that I understood what you meant at that time.
Oh yes, about what I said in regards to Pesco. That... is not even my main reason for voting him, in fact I probably would not have brought that up had he not pressed me for a response after he said that (or at least I felt his post was pressing me for a response). The "while I agree that" is not wishy-washy in the context of the post because it is not something that would make him look less scummy based on whether I agreed on it or not. Do I need to restate my case on him the same manner as I did above for you to buy that I am being sincere with my vote?
If it seems like I'm criticizing everybody, then that's because, to be honest, most people do not look that great to me right now. The exception to this would be Zakeri, since his posts have come across clear and reasonable to me. I do not have an issue with Affinity from his vote on me, but he has not posted since so it is hard to judge. I'm not even sure about what I think of Serela now either, my case on him was mostly ED1 and I'm willing to drop it provided he can give out something reasonable enough to make him look better in my eyes once he comes back. PX and Solf don't look good but I don't think I would want them lynched yet since I'm just reading newbtells from them.
Not impressed with the OMGUS, honestly. I don't really see your case on me beyond "he's criticizing lots of people and used indecisive wording like twice!!!". This may be because I do not believe my reasoning against you to be weak, but eh.
