Seacore wrote:I don't like Dramonic, Cobalt, EK or Budja, but I also don't like BC... so many options, I think I'll keep mine where its at until next week.
Why Cobalt?
Budja wrote:The case on EK mostly sucks but her reaction didn't feel very townie and I disliked the Cobalt attack. I'm believing the claim now.
Nice waffling. Which is it? Scumpoint for Budja.
Seacore wrote:So either you [Budja] voted for me because of my bad idea, which means you lied in your voting post, or you voted for me because of earlier cases, in which case you just lied in the above post.
Maybe he did both? Maybe he forgot why?
dramonic wrote:How am I suppose to get a reread done when every time I turn aside 5 pages pop up?
Read faster.
benmage wrote:Amongst those 4 fast unvoters is definitely scum.
Yay for content-free predictions. Scumpoint for benmage.
TonyMontana wrote:Dgb is town.
I really have trouble reading DGB. She's so... goofy.
TonyMontana wrote:Someone, i forget who, articulated perfectly why lynching a claimed cop on day 1 in this game is bad.
I believe that was Vi.
Cruciare wrote:IGMEOY: Seacore, Blood, Cobalt, Pom, Xyl. Plus Coug and Farside for nonsense on the Seacore wagon back then.
Why? For all of them.

Yes. I actually find his play strangely charming.

Oh ho ho. [1][2][3][4][5] Why did you wagon Elvis in the first place if you were going to hop off like that once she claimed? What else did you think she would claim? Farside for this post and Coug for this post.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no scum in their right mind would dare take my feisty self on, when they so easily can be rid of me while I sleep. The kids are probably town.

Elvis, I think Seacore is town. Cobalt and BenMage don't even have votes.

Be a sweetheart and vote for Dram. Or Budja.

I'm already voting Dram, but if you switch to Budja, I'll vote Budja too.

That should keep things hopping.

Yeah, if these are players that they find hard to influence, or even menacing, why not? If a lot of scums are at the top of the list, they may not want to cut down all the threes that they are hiding behind.

They don't
have to
, but if a few townies are being stupid, you know they are going to 'help.' Everyone loves free stuff, and scum loves free lynches.

Because she's scum, and because it's good play to get a couple of results from a claimed info role before we lynch her. She can still help us find the second scum faction even if she's scum cop.

Hey thanks for not doing a billion pages today :)

Ek's cop claim is interesting. And i'm not sure how to approach how much we trust a cop in this game regarding people they claim as cleared town down the road(untill after we know the cops alignment anyway). Obviously she'll be wanting to help us kill atleast one of the two groups whatever her alignment is, so that's good atleast.
The whole EK wagon was for meta reasons I can't know not having played with her right? Because to me she was far from the scummiest person here.
Speaking of scummiest person here, waiting on dramonics re-read, he like me should be able to catch up with this game when he gets online with how little the games moved today by comparison. Other scummy people in the game ofcourse, but my experience with him was as someone very strong in their opinion who liked to try and direct town, in the game I had with him, he's being very opposite and it makes me nervous. If I didn't have past play with dramonic Cobalt would probably be pretty close to dram on my list.

Do you think that she's guilty of the exact opposite of OMGUS, whatever that's called, or do you simply find it weird that she has a town read on somebody voting her?

Something's bugging me about Vi right now, but I can't point my finger on it. DrippingGoofball is acting exactly as I expect her to, so still no read.

True. The people formerly voting you have almost evenly split to two people on each wagon now.

Could you please unvote Seacore and vote either of your other two top suspects (preferably Cobalt)?

I just think her reasons for finding me town, or for finding that townie are fairly absurd.

Also SC you seem to be on the fringes mostly, or at least that's my initial impression. I don't really know where you stand at all on a lot of things, (although I guess it's possible it's my fault) and it seems like you're just..there but not getting stuck in to the thick of the game, fair assessment so far?
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?

Not at all - but I don't people to say "oh shucks I didn't notice!" That's why I am asking whether they are AWARE.

After we have gone after #2 to the claim, now some people are pushing for #1. Just making sure it's all clear.

That is true.

However.

There are strategic reasons for the scum to pressure the players at the top of the order, first.

Furthermore if I was buddies with elvis, I sure wouldn't bus her, because that would bring our wild pyjama party in the QT to a sad and premature close. Some of you may interpret this as WIFOM, and that I might have been in fact bus'ing elvis, so be it.

The reality is that elvis would not be a top choice of her buddies to bus. ESPECIALLY if scum, at the top of the order. She'd be way too useful. Yeah, WIFOM. But I doubt it in this instance.

However a townie at the top of the order is an excellent wagon to pursue and get a free claim from.

Thus I think this wagon had lots of scum on it. They had to figure that a player at the top of the order would have a claim they could extract, escape a lynch, without getting their hands dirty in an actual lynch.
So... you're not against voting/wagoning/pressuring people high in the order... but you do think that people who do so are more likely to be scum? Have I got that right?

unvote, vote DrippingGoofball

Bingo. I was waiting for this.

Cobalt's wagons fit under three broad categories - unexplained, wagon-hopping, and most curiously, defensive. This one is defensive. I would let it slide, but it's the FishytheFish vote following this post and under otherwise no pressure that got my attention for being a blatant reaction. And
that's
when I started paying attention to Cobalt.

Furthermore. Fishy brought up that he was concerned for why Cobalt didn't pick Cop, as it's an obviously broken Town role. I have a similar concern, as Cop is also a good Mafia role. It's not, however, a good SK role. I have a suspicion for what Cobalt picked that WOULD benefit an SK - especially an SK at the top of the draft order - and that provides another reason for why I would like to see Cobalt lynched.

If there is enough opposition to lynching a high-draft power role today, I would be fine with stalling a Cobalt wagon today -
but
- I suspect there should be one in the future.
