Mini 793: Scrubs mafia- GAME OVER

[veerus]

Hm, I still don't like her excessive fishing about the night results. I also think Brandi's defensiveness about claiming with a deadline less than a week away is a little weird -- why stall if you're the top suspect and time is running out to analyze someone else if the claim is real? And what was that with the "whoops, I quoted my role, oh wait, I didn't, mod said it's ok" line?? I haven't played that many games on this site, but is this stuff generally allowed? Since mod confirmation one way or the other would likely reveal the role, what are the odds of this being a scum gambit?

Would you mind elaborating on this a touch, veerus?

No one else respond to this until veerus has a chance.

Typically, paraphrasing is allowed, word for word quotes are not. In this game, the mod requests but doesn't insist that paraphrases are run past him in order to check they aren't too close to the original. In this case, according to Brandi, she failed to do this, and the mod told her it was ok after she had publicly worried about it.

The sequence of events Brandi claims is a plausible and legal one. She could of course be lying about everything, including the mod pm, to add credence to her claim. I think it has to be a complete nulltell.

[Brandi]

Stop lurking People.

[Furry]

Stop lurking People.

Stop throwing away your vote. At least give opinions on BMQ.

Fair enough, point taken.

Gorrad,

What is it that you're not understanding? It seems to me that you're voting her for the same reasons. In addition, now that I re-read this day, she has also made absolutely no attempts to scumhunt which is a drastic departure from her D1 behavior.

On a side note, and this is mostly addressed to the

mod

, but why did we get deadlined only 10 days after the start? And with 2 highly active lurkers/dropouts (hp & lindisframe) present?

[Brandi]

Stop lurking People.

What on earth makes you think I'm "throwing away" my vote? Just because I'm not using it doesn't mean I wont change it. It's pretty obvious I'm not hot on your wagon right now despite my vote sitting on you. I will agree that BMQ has been pretty scummy, I'm not sure if he is the scummiest currently though.

Also Veerus, quit trying to AVOID answering other peoples questions by saying a bunch of meaningless crap. ACTUALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION. Kthx.

[Fishythefish]

It is an interesting inconsistency that you fail to mention BMQ.

Not quite. His absence has been well documented while the two I named have not been mentioned in quite some time. And of these three, his absense has been explained by the fact he lost his job shortly after the game started. Since the mod seems to replace only at the end of the day, I'm hoping that BMQ will be one of those slated for replacement during the night.

[Fishythefish]

I'm hoping for a BMQ lynch. He has not contributed much, but what content is there is bad. He fits very well the profile of scum trying to go under the radar while joining any townie wagon going.

The deadline is tomorrow. At deadline, a no lynch occurs. This is a really bad thing.

I wish I could elaborate more on these thoughts, but I've been very busy.

So for now:

unvote, vote: BMQ

[Tzeentch]

Crap. I was really hoping this wouldn't be necessary at this stage, but...

BMQ is NOT scum

.

BMQ is my Mason partner. The mod has confirmed in our roles that we are both pro-town.

[Fishythefish]

unvote

Role names please.
I'll be checking in again before deadline.

[Tzeentch]

I'm JD, and BMQ is Turk. It's our "Guy Love" that makes us masons.

[Fishythefish]

Very famous scrubs roles, likely to be in game, probably protown, unlikely mafia fakeclaims. I'm fairly convinced.

vote: Brandi

Marginally preferable to no lynch.

[Furry]

Very famous scrubs roles, likely to be in game, probably protown, unlikely mafia fakeclaims. I'm fairly convinced.

Even though in this case, its mod confirmed, this can be dangerous thinking for future themes. Making "pro-town" characters scum is a favorite for me when I run themes.

Im wondering whats going on though at this point, something feels wrong. I have a leaning town read on Brandi, but that would mean we have run up four town so far.

Im going to read through more and put some thoughts up. Deadline is in about 10 hours I think, so I will be back to hammer on time.

[Fishythefish]

Deadline is more like 8 hours away.

Noted. Thanks.

I still think it's much more likely Tzee and BMQ are masons rather than scum together. Stepping up in this way is a bold move for the scum.

[Brandi]

To be honest, Veerus is the most likely scum player here right now. More than BMQ's lurky non-contributing scumminess. It is pretty obvious from the fact that Gorrad was asking him to back up what he was saying about me earlier about "excessive rolefishing" yadda yadda.

If you notice, he ignored that, and talked about other crap. He didn't back it up because he couldn't.

I'm pretty sure Gorrad was just pretending to be on my wagon to see who would follow him. Too bad he isn't posting right now.

I'm more likely to believe Tzee on something than BMQ, but if he says they are town together then:

unvote

I'll vote for the person who I think is most obvious scum:

vote: Veerus

Perhaps after I'm lynched, you can look into Veerus more tomorrow? Kthx.

[Fishythefish]

I agree with Brandi. veerus’s attacks on her have consisted of an appeal to another player’s list of scumtells, although Brandi has not exhibited the tell in question. veerus then goes on to misrepresent Brandi’s own reactions to the night by wildly exaggerating them.
veerus is the worst player on an awful bandwagon. I’ll be back before deadline to hammer Brandi if necessary- my read on her is pretty much neutral, and a VT lynch is hardly worse than NL- but I’d much prefer to lynch veerus.

unvote, vote: veerus

[Brandi]

=/ why isn't anyone posting? -_- We really do NOT need a no-lynch.

[Furry]

unvote vote veerus

I would prefer a hp lynch, but still have a slight town read on brandi at this point. The replacement rule really sucks. Its basically 7 alive 5 to lynch

[Fishythefish]

Bleh. At this stage, a veerus lynch isn't happening.

unvote, vote: Brandi

. Better hope I'm wrong.
