Trifia: Town wins after Day Eight

[AndrewS]

Well, since I'm one away from a lynch..I suppose that I should claim....

I am an ensign assigned to sickbay. Every other night that I correctly answer, I have the ability to protect one member of the crew from being nightkilled.

[Dmi]

Odd or Even?

You "intentionally select wrong" when you have a protecting role? You say that it's every other night that you answer correctly. Knowing that your role could save someone I would hope you would do more than skim the post that had the answer to your question in it.
Since you got the first question right, you got to use your role last night but then have to wait two more nights before using it again, and that's only IF you got the questions correct? Is that right?
If so, since you got this question wrong you would have to get the next two questions right in order to protect someone on night four?

[AndrewS]

It wasn't intentional, how many times do I have to reiterate that? And yes, I would have to get the next two questions right, and yes, I protected someone night 1.

[mneme]

Well...Since I don't know the answer either, I'm just going to say....

Answer: Tony the Tiger

Er...you intentionally locked in your answer on something you knew wasn't correct, rather than asking for help...that's pretty intentional.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

small pox

[PeaceBringer]

vote andrew S-

scum claim

[Fuldu]

Eleven of you surround AndrewS and drag him down the hall to the vacant airlock. Over his protests, PeaceBringer opens the door and pushes him in, sealing the door behind him. It's hard to gauge how long it will be before the cold finishes him off. You'll check his quarters once the locks disengage.

AndrewS

(Unknown) has been lynched.

If I was scum, why would it help to intentionally select wrong? Lynch me if you want, but all you'd be doing is killing an innocent.


The theory as I understand it is that mafia gets its kill no matter what, while townies have to 'earn' their night choices if any by submitting right answers. So yes, if you're scum, selecting wrong answers intentionally would help your cause.

I'm going to see if you've claimed a useful role, and if not -I'm voting you.

No useful role claimed.

vote: AndrewS

I'd like to call to attention these two posts by Leonidas and ask him to explain himself...you say in your post that you'll wait and see if his supposed role is useful, then two minutes later vote for him without giving him a chance to claim...what sort of bs is that? whether or not Andrew is scum, I feel that you were definitely way too anxious to add to the vote count, not even giving him a chance to role claim before you voted for him...he was still three away from a lynch when you posted, so it's quite understandable that Andrew might not have claimed yet. However, instead of letting him claim first so you could decide whether his role was useful or not, you voted for him just

two minutes

after the first post. Please explain yourself, because my vote's going on you once day comes around again.

[Dmi]

AndrewS already claimed.
What Leonidas meant was after he would finish his post, he will analyze AndrewS' claim. Then he didn't believe him and voted for him.

Are you deliberately misinterpreting here, MoS?

[Leonidas]

MoS: here's what I had in mind - I wanted to vote AndrewS, but still needed to quickly check again whether he had

already

claimed a useful role or not.

(When many votes have already been cast on someone, no matter how suspicious I find them, I want to make sure that they have not claimed, say doc or cop, before I vote for them myself).

Looking quickly at his posts for the day, I made sure that he had still

not

claimed any useful role, (and that he was not one away from the lynch), so I put my vote.

Does this satisfy you, MoS, or do you want to discuss the topic further?

What I find strange is that you seem to indicate AndrewS was innocent...
(Otherwise, why do you threaten me of your vote tomorrow? If he's scum, then what basis would you have to vote me??)

So either you're pro-town and knew AndrewS to be innocent, in which case you could and probably should have shared the info explicitly, or you're scum looking for a bandwagon target for tomorrow, because you know AndrewS was not part of your team.

Thoughts?

[Leonidas]

Taking a closer look at your post, MoS:

You say in your post that you'll wait and see if his supposed role is useful

Never said that. Here's what I said:

I'm going to see if

you've claimed

a useful role, and if not -I'm voting you.

[Mastermind of Sin]

AndrewS already claimed.
What Leonidas meant was after he would finish his post, he will analyze AndrewS' claim. Then he didn't believe him and voted for him.

Are you deliberately misinterpreting here, MoS?

from what I saw, Andrew didn't claim until after Leonidas voted for him...are you deliberately misstating the facts?

Also, I can accept your explanation, Leonidas...i don't know if Andrew is/was scum or not, but it seemed that you were either scum jumping on a bandwagon of someone not on your team, or you were scum with him and were trying to get a vote on the wagon before he got close enough to a lynch that you might be accused of just voting for him when it seemed hopeless...anyways, that was just my reaction at the time...I misread what you said and I apologize

Post 245. Those of us who were old enough to vote when Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford still remember a little of what was happening in the nation back then.

Last time your state went Democrat, Quailman.
