Dynamite Stick Mafia! GAME OVER

[Erg0]

STRIKE A LIGHT

I agree with the above. I'll hold out for a little while before deciding who I think should kill and be killed.

[Erg0]

Whoops, I need to post here. Will catch up tomorrow.

[Erg0]

The problem is that you guys are blinded with the power of being ABLE to kill someone that you aren't thinking logically.

I'm really feeling Ooba to be scum.

This seems contradictory to me. Lee spends this post debunking ooba's logic, but doesn't actually show him to be scummy, just wrong. The second last paragraph is framed as if speaking to a townie, but then he calls ooba scum. Mixed messages, I say.

Oops, he's dead (I think). Never mind.

DGB's death makes me much more suspicious of newer players than normal.

Why? I had a thought on this too, but it's the opposite of yours.

Surye is definitely bringing the token townishness up to this point, though offering to blow himself up detracts from this slightly.

I'm not so good at abstract thought, but Adel's plan seems ok to me, provided we're able to enforce the chosen kills and/or prevent superfluous light-strikings. If a scum refuses to kill their designated target that doesn't make their target scum. If a scum fastkills someone other than their designated target that also doesn't make their designated target scum. The success of this plan is somewhat reliant on the ratio of town to scum, and how much of a difference it makes if scum manage to take out an extra townie on their way out.

I don't particularly agree with much of anything that Skruffs said when he came in.

Skruffs: do you still think that Quag is either town or tricksy?

[Erg0]

Why do you disagree with Yos' heavy attack on lurkers?

I presume that we're going to go with Adel's plan for today? If so, a reminder that anybody who strikes a light without town consensus can expect a speedy demise.

[Erg0]

Sigh...

[Erg0]

The policy is not "do not strike a light under any circumstances". It's "do not strike a light without a town consensus".

[Erg0]

Isn't lynching directed by town consensus?

As someone else said, towns have a long history of self-destructing when everyone gets dayvigs, purely because people get trigger-happy. We need some sort of system to stop individuals from just blowing up whoever they want, and this is better than anything else I can think of. If the system fails it's due to a lack of town buy-in, not because the system itself is bad.

[Erg0]

That may work for

you

, but what if everyone else behaves the same way? 20-odd individuals acting without regard for the opinion of the rest of the group are not going to win a game like this unless it's by blind luck.

It strikes me that we really should have had this discussion much earlier in the game - and we probably would have, if not for the individuals acting without regard for the group's opinion.

[Erg0]

Alternatively, you could blow up Adel for failing to keep to her word.

[Erg0]

Hey, what say we take things a little slower today?

[Erg0]

Vote: Surye

Sorry I'm late.

[Erg0]

That doesn't really look like a genuine appeal to emotion to me. It looks more like a lazy defence. I'd suggest that you come over to the correct wagon, and I'd

strongly

suggest that you don't blow up a guy that nobody else finds suspicious.

[Erg0]

Oy.

At least try to blow up the right person.

[Erg0]

Sorry, retracted - I hadn't quite grasped the situation when I posted that. I still think you should blow up the right person, though.

[Erg0]

Reaching much?

[Erg0]

Reaching much?

Who, me?

Yes, you. Implying that kuribo was suggesting a no-lynch was a massive leap, and looks like a desperate attempt to distract from your own wagon.

[Erg0]

and if it is close to deadline and nobody has been blown up, i'm blowing up surye, with added confidence...

I approve of this message.

[Erg0]

Def.

Vote: Surye

Will need to read before deciding on number 2.

[Erg0]

I don't care who blows up whom, so long as one of them is Surye.

[Erg0]

I feel the need... the need to read!

Surye was all I had, I'll have some more thoughts in a day or so.

[Erg0]

Re-reading Surye in isolation:
- Skitzer and NabNab look pretty town to me right now.
- I think it's likely that one of CES and Yos2 is Surye's buddy, as he keeps mentioning them in the same sentence throughout the game.
- I'm curious as to why Surye dragged Yos' name back into contention when it looked like people were trying to force him to blow up on day 4. He said in his post 19 that skitzer was his number 1 choice, then brought Yos back into things in the next post.
- I find it interesting that he tried to push the lurkers as the biggest threat at the start of day 5. This probably indicates that at least one of the active players is scum.

Not sure about this Elmo thing, it seems pretty circumstantial. More reading is required on my part.

[Erg0]

Sorry, I'm being useless. CES is a good bet, in my opinion. I'm a little iffy on Yos, but I think CES is marginally more likely to be scum. In turn, if CES is scum then I think skitzer has a decent chance of being scum also.

[Erg0]

More or less what I said in my previous post (a week or so ago) - Surye's play leads me to think that one of Yos and CES is scum, and I've found Yos more actively pro-town in his play throughout the game. If not for the amount of attention that he's been given by other players, I'd probably have Yos in my "obvtown" brainspace by now.

[Erg0]

Buh?

[Erg0]

Yeesh, even when I'm useless I get nightkilled.

I guess I wasn't too far off with my townie picks at the point when I died, though I definitely picked wrong on the Yos/CES thing. Elvis was way under my radar at that point, so I've got no idea if I would have got it right at the end.

GG all, fun was had.

[Erg0]

Yes, except I wasn't doing

that

well...
