Still maintain that it was a moot point by reason of timing. By the time I was able to post, there was no longer any reactions to gauge. You and others had flat out stated it was terrible. The only reaction to gauge is whether I arrived to the party late and jumped on the bandwagon quick enough. So I just moved on, until questioned.
As you said, the only reaction left to gauge was yours. You came back and opted not to say anything. Your response is now being gauged in accordance. You are taking exception to this and coming up with a multitude of excuses as to why your response shouldn't be under the microscope.

He was assessing players, and his assessment of me mentioned it. It addressed me. Just the same as any assessment of another player, addresses that player.
You were mentioned in an info dump. That does not mean he addressed you. He asked you no questions, he required no comments from you. He didn't even make a formal accusation and even said at the end of the post that his reads were still mostly guesswork. Despite this you felt compelled to address and defend a random voting stage extremely early game vote. That is text book over defensive. And that is the point.

My original issue with Alt, I pleaded with him to not shut down, and remain patient and open to whatever needed to be done to keep the game moving forward. My vote, was due to logic he employed later which I did not agree with. Nor did you, since I will mention again you sided with me and deferred to me being on point.
You didn't plead anything. The exchange goes like this:
Eli: Don't stop talking Alt!
Alt: I never said I was going to.
Eli: You totally said so in your last post!
Alt: No I didn't.
Eli: Yes you did.
That's not pleading. That's you insisting that what you inferred in Alt's posts is what he implied while he was saying you were completely misunderstanding. There's no pleading going on there. Saying you were pleading is deliberately misrepping the situation to make yourself look more townly than is actually true. Your vote is not the issue here. It's just an element that shows that your motivations aren't the saving grace patience you are trying to make them out to be.

Nope, still not addressing the 56 hour point. I've made it super clear I got online once and had a busy weekend thereafter. I wont defend having other things to do away from the forum, especially since most of the game is doing this and apologising after the point.
Feel free to not address anything you want. It won't change the fact that you had plenty of time to post and you didn't. I don't care if you feel like you have to defend being busy, because frankly being busy isn't the point. You were busy, that's fine. But that doesn't excuse what you didn't do in this game. You say you checked in Friday and opted not to post then and were too busy the rest of the weekend. Okay. You still checked in Friday and opted not to say anything. Again. You see I mention this because I'm establishing a pattern of behavior for you, continually opting not to take part in major discussions. Then when it's pointed out later you make excuses for yourself and seem to think that you should be exempt from scrutiny because you have an excuse.

Okay so this one is a long paragraph. So initially, my internal read on him being 100% does a - not mean I could sway others into thinking that way in the time I had, though I still made a point to mention what I thought the critical point was. B - A player was already pushing for him, who did seem to have more time. A player which you were working to discredit, though you're hindsight claiming you pressured him to reveal cop status. Hindsight claiming sure is pretty easy though. Now lets jump around a bit here...
A) If you don't try you definitely can't. Which you didn't. Which is my point.
B) And his pushing was getting nowhere. You don't think that if you felt that shock was 100% scum, that player could use your support? Instead you jump behind me against the player working against the guy you think is 100% scum. Yeah, that makes sense and seems like a good way to get Shock lynched.
As for you secondary mudsling, I wasn't pressuring him to reveal cop status. I was pressuring him for inconsistency. As I pointed out there were two options there, either he was baselessly pushing for Shock and was a good lynch target or he was working on hidden information. IF the latter were the case, the doc reveal at start of day was a safety net that allowed me to push as hard as I did without fear of losing a town P/R. I didn't press because I thought he was the cop, I pressed because I thought he was trying to capitalize on the heat Shock garnered the day before.

A Goblins death is not inevitable. It hinges very strongly on whether the town players manage to communicate and co-ordinate well enough to get the better of them before too many towns are killed in the night phase. That communication and co-ordination requires time. You argue a quick day with a easy lynch makes the goblins scramble. Why? The suspect of the minute is down, the quick day likely meant secondary suspects werent discussed in any depth AND they get to make another (likely, doctor might get lucky) kill on a town player. A quick day means that unless you have had have a few long days beforehand with a concise suspect list that everyone is fairly solid on, a day just passed with little information to add to the next day.
Given were talking about prolonging a hypothetical day in which a player is caught goblin 100% no doubts, yeah it is. Mind you this is one day with one night phase to follow. Coordinating over multiple days is irrelevant because we aren't talking about the passage of multiple days, we're talking about the passage of one. Giving goblins more time in that one day gives them time to discuss not only what they will do when that caught goblin dies and flips, but gives them more time to decide on the most strategic kill to make in the following night, often playing off or messing with what town will be discussing in that extra time. And town is going to talk about absolutely nothing they can't slow the pace of the game down on the next day and talk about, except they will have more information when they do it.

And now to address some general things.
My points haven't waivered. You've done nothing to provide a defense, only excuses that you seem to think make your behavior acceptable. Because of this I have continued my pursuit. You can say I hounded Alt if you want, but all I did there was continually point out why his play was bad. Which it was. I gave him every opportunity I could and only voted for him when he became unruly to the point where he was a clear liability to the town. As for Fel, I was aware of the possibilities before I started my pursuit. It didn't go the way I was leaning initially but still turned out well, so I don't really see fault with my actions there. And on shock, the difference between you and me is my vote wasn't a random voting stage vote. Additionally I voted shock to pressure him into posting and he did before heat on him came too far. I could have removed my vote then if I wanted to. Neo even questioned why my vote was still on Shock days before Fel made his claim, the point at which it would be too late to remove it. Again another opportunity in which I could have easily moved my vote and still maintained any supposed distancing. I may talk in one direction during the day, but my eyes and ears and mind aren't working in only one direction.
