The best I can come up with in the scare is Town scenario, is scare scanned me with something that isn't definitive but looks like I am scum, and he decided to roll with it seeing if I would crack Okay, but this feels like he's just not even looking at the topic at all and doesn't CARE how you're responding. If he's not just straightforwardly cop, he KNOWS that presenting that scan the way he did is probably going to draw out another power claim. It's completely anti-town. |

Vengeful_KBM 07/22/17 12:02:57 PM #139 | dowolf posted... One obvious reason for there being two scanners is that that balances out well with having a miller. What the fuck kind of scanner would drop three words' worth of information and then flee from the topic for 12 hours (even posting elsewhere in that time)? But never mind, I guess I understand his AIRTIGHT REASONING on plum. After all, he said "scanned him scum", which is all anybody ever needs to say when they're playing mafia. >_> My nightmare is that this is FFD all over again but yeah. I neither want to lynch someone while they're not here nor do I want to blindly follow them onto a train I don't trust. |

Topic | Star Trek: The Next Character Ranking [TNCR] |
Vengeful_KBM 07/22/17 12:52:23 AM #44 | #71. Chakotay (VOY) CHAKOTAY MUST BOX. Before Robert Beltran's performance as Chakotay, I'm not sure I had ever seen an actor completely check out of a leading role two seasons into a show and still last seven full seasons. But Chakotay is much more than just a bad performance. Chakotay is a complete failure of a character. Let's back up a bit, though, because in the first couple seasons, despite a couple of weirdly terrible backstory episodes, Chakotay was actually a pretty promising character. The idea of the Maquis, as presented in TNG and DS9 shortly before Voyager premiered, is a good one – and the idea of making the lead Maquis character a Native American was both an excellent way to promote classic Star Trek diversity and an interesting parallel for the disenfranchisement the Maquis are going through in the story. Robert Beltran seemed like a good fit for the character, and as evidenced in the excellent late Season 2 episode “Resolutions,” he had a TON of chemistry with Kate Mulgrew's Janeway. But a number of things made all this promise go cataclysmically wrong. Chakotay started getting fooled or betrayed by almost everybody on the show, which undermined his competence as an officer. The show's attempts to portray Native American culture were both inaccurate and about as sensitive as a shotgun at point-blank range. The romantic interests he ended up getting throughout the series were ill-advised at best. And finally, somewhere around the point that the rest of the show started actually getting good, Beltran started openly not giving a shit about the show. The quality of his acting decreases so much over the course of the show, that by the end of the series you can sometimes literally see disappointment in his scene partners' eyes after his line readings. So yeah, even though there are a handful of highlights in the show's history where I'm legitimately glad Chakotay exists, in the end, I can count his really good episodes on one hand. Voyager is 168 episodes long. Chakotay is the first officer. He's just not worth it. Best Episode: Resolutions (this + “Shattered” = the entire reason I couldn't bring myself to place him dead last) Worst Episode: Tattoo (though “The Fight” also deserves a specific mention) |

Vengeful_KBM 07/22/17 12:14:26 AM #427 | dowolf posted... If Scare is a jack, why the hell would he announce this? Honestly I'm having a tough time with "why would he do this" in the first place, regardless of alignment. But the likelihood of him being scum seems greater to me than the likelihood of there being two cops in the game. And yeah, I really feel like he wouldn't have dropped that scan in here like this if he was claiming anything but cop. You can see why I went back to Pez, however. That's actionable information. |

Vengeful_KBM 07/21/17 11:59:17 PM #413 | Screw it, I'm done waiting for Scare. I scanned Pez guilty last night. I don't have any solid information on Scare but I doubt we have two straight-up scanners, and if he were claiming anything else like a jack or something he would have stuck around to elaborate. We have two scum dead to rights here and neither one is Plum. (And I was definitely planning on sitting on this information for awhile longer but Scare's kinda forced my hand if everybody's just going to be content to let the day grind to a halt apparently.) So yeah, now that that's out after Scare pointedly did NOT respond to my comments/questions... ##Unvote ##Vote: Pezloco Back to the person I have actual information on. Also say this is also too early to reveal this kind of info if you want, but dammit this is one, if not two, more scum than Chris caught us so I feel pretty good about revealing this right now. |

Midday yesterday you weren't for pushing me or Chris. This morning you thought you spotted a scum tell from last night and you thought I ignored it. Tom Bombadil posted... Oh hey that's more what I expect from Pez. You're not OFF the scum list but you're no longer at the top either and that vote won't do much now anyway. |

If you can give me a good alternative, I'll do my best to engage it. This is as close as I can find to you "fighting" for another lynch. You said things just enough for people to notice that you were here, but you weren't doing anything active here. |

Vengeful_KBM 07/21/17 9:20:03 PM #358 | pezloco posted... Dowolf and I were actively fighting to stop the Oddity lynch. You need something better than he was just not having anything productive. I focused on trying to convince Tom because he didn't have a vote on Oddity. I thought he would listen to me because of our past. If i got him to follow me, I'd have switched to working on Dowolf too. I was contributing IMO You absolutely are not "fighting to stop" a lynch when you're voting for someone who isn't even in contention at the end of the day. That is some extremely weak fighting. You had multiple options that just... didn't take off because scum was fine letting (what I assume is mostly) town just mislynch Oddity. Show me where you were "actively fighting" in your, like, two posts per page (most of which were about previous topics). |

This seems like a likely attitude for someone who knew the lynch was town on town. My reasoning on Pez can also very much apply to SBell, but Pez just seemed more... here to be seen, rather than having anything productive to add. |

Vengeful_KBM 07/21/17 9:10:25 PM #352 | ##Vote: Pezloco None of the splinter votes really sit right to me, especially since it feels like scum was just sitting back and letting us lynch Oddity of our own accord. Of the splinter votes (excepting Oddity's, obviously), it's Pez on Death, SBell, on Red, and VI on Scare. All three of those votes were useless and allowed the popular vote to just continue to sit on Oddity. Of those three, Pez's actions throughout this topic stick out to me. He's certainly around but never really actually participated in the things that were going on. He sprinkles in random thoughts, doesn't participate in Oddity's lynch, but also doesn't participate in anything that would put anybody else in contention. I want to start here. (There's also the fact that confirmed town Tom and Chris both voted for him, along with plum who I'm feeling pretty good about. I can't remember their reasons for voting him; I'll have to go back and reread the first two topics in a bit, but the votals have people I trust suspicious of him so that too makes Pez feel like a good place to start.) |

Vengeful_KBM 07/21/17 2:50:35 PM #10 | Screw it, I'm going with my first instinct. #72. Alexander Rozhenko (TNG/DS9) It's really hard to know where to start with this kid. First of all, he does manage to show up in otherwise decent episodes now and again. He's never the reason said episodes are good, though, because it's really his very existence that I find frustrating. Until Alexander came to live with Worf on the Enterprise in Season 5 of TNG, Worf's story arc was a highlight of the show. Alexander's birth the previous season even served as a pretty interesting plot point in said story arc. The problem is that Alexander never truly stops being a plot point. Instead of being his own interesting character, like his mother K'Ehleyr, he seems to exist solely to question his father's Klingon ideals. Especially in the fifth season, his visits to the show just bring things to a dead crawl as we're forced to watch Worf contend with a whiny brat, as opposed to, say, the House of Duras. He's at his absolute nadir in "Cost of Living", a horrifying Season 5 episode where Lwaxana Troi takes Alexander under her wing and the whole thing's just a big, disturbing mess, with creepy clown faces mugging in bubbles at a mud bath. To add insult to injury, after seemingly getting (wisely) discarded as a plot point, Alexander shows up again in DS9 and the problems start anew. He wants his father to accept him so he does Klingon stuff really badly and is the butt of jokes. Apart from a brief return to be his father's best man, that's just it. I sincerely wish he'd just stayed on his never-ending vacation at his grandparents' house. I'm sure he served more of a purpose there. *EDIT: Okay yeah I wanna do Best/Worst episode too.* Best Episode: You Are Cordially Invited... Worst Episode: Cost of Living |
