damn, those flow charts get me every time.

Why isn't everyone voting Cat yet?

[VP Baltar]

Works for me.

Unvote, Vote: Cat

[Vi]

damn, those flow charts get me every time.

Agreed. I approve highly of this sense of humor ^.^

It adds for a new dynamic in the humor of mafia scum. It's a nice change!

If that's a suggestion that I should try harder...

Also,

People voting for Cat: Sotty7, BloodCovenant, Vi, hitogoroshi, VP Baltar (L-2)
People who aren't expected to vote for Cat: Cat
Other people who aren't voting for Cat: Porochaz, HowardRoark (possibly belongs in second category?), Izzy, Cayke, Xdaamno, tajo

People with decent/convincing reasons for voting for someone other than Cat: Maybe Cayke

Conclusion: I would post snarky insults, but I've tried that already to no effect.

[crywolf20084]

ha.

So you think i've spelled out my reasons well enough Vi, yet no one else thinks that.

I may vote Cat. I think both Cat and Daamno are the same level of scummy, only Cat is contributing significantly less

[VP Baltar]

Just vote Cat then. This day needed to end about 5 pages ago. I would rather lynch Howard, but compromise is calling.

[crywolf20084]

Allow me to ponder a little bit more.

[HowardRoark]

If it comes down to deadline, I'll vote Cat.

[BloodCovenent]

5 days away. why wait? Haven't we dawdled enough?

[hitogoroshi]

Early morning hito update:

Travel is currently not advised in all of western Iowa, counties along the I-35 corridor, and parts of east central Iowa due to very treacherous road conditions and blowing snow. The Iowa State Patrol has issued a tow ban for the affected areas.

Seeing as the I-35 corridor and western Iowa are what's known as 'the route one uses to get from Minnesota to Nebraska', I'm going to be here for now and I'll be disappearing more or less by surprise (later today? tomorrow?) for a day or so sometime soon here.

In this particular game, it's really hard for me to be apologetic for missing a day when there's only about three of you I can apparently count on to show up once a day. I'll make sure to let you guys know right before I'm out the door in any event.

Enjoy your cornfield suicide, sucka.

[Xdaamno]

Several people have repeated that this day has gone on long enough, so we should lynch Cat. This makes me suspiscious of this wagon... there's probably one or two scum in there. Cat seems like newbie town to me. Not voting Cat today.

[Xdaamno]

EBWOP: Oh, wait, Cat is skitzer's alt, right? Still...

[hitogoroshi]

Hey xd, remember this?

because at the end of the day someone needs to be lynched and if you don't like who's getting strung up then congratulations, you are a tree stump.

Almost correct. If you don't like who's getting strung up and you aren't outrightly arguing against their lynch (or for someone else's lynch), you are a tree stump.

If you don't want to join catwagon2010 then

do something

, don't just sit on your ass criticizing the wagon because of some gut town tell on cat you've only now decided to grace our thread with. (especially since your idea that cat is town is a fairly recent development.)

More importantly, alignment tells be damned, give me one reason not to lynch such a serial non-contributor. Disregarding the fact that my ISO posts were incredibly full of content, with this post I am already beating cat on

absolute post count

. Despite the fact I came in Monday and Cat's been here for a month.

[Xdaamno]

Uhm, I

am

? I'm strongly pro-HR lynch. Personally I feel I shouldn't hammer that in

every post

, because people are more inclined to follow ideas when they believe they have created them in part themselves and I feel that the HR wagon will pick up if the Cat wagon is not viable.

[VP Baltar]

More importantly, alignment tells be damned, give me one reason not to lynch such a serial non-contributor.

In fairness, replacement would have been superior but I don't know if the mod is really on top of things enough to make that happen.

@daamno-I too think the HR lynch is just as viable and probably more likely to hit scum, but at some point you just have to move forward with the game. It's Day1 and if Cat is town she's not an asset that needs to hang around. If her wagon is scum driven, then her flip will confirm that. The point is that this discussion reached the point of diminishing returns some time ago and should be brought to a close for its own health. A fresh day and knowing some alignments will help move the actual scumhunting forward instead of just digging ones heels in.

Uhm, I am? I'm strongly pro-HR lynch. Personally I feel I shouldn't hammer that in every post, because people are more inclined to follow ideas when they believe they have created them in part themselves and I feel that the HR wagon will pick up if the Cat wagon is not viable.

Two problems with that:

Firstly, the cat wagon is insanely viable, such that I'm considering making it my new benchmark of viability (e.g 'How viable is it that Barack Obama will be re-elected in 2012?' 'I'd put it around .35 catwagons.') and if you want to make the cat wagon UNviable, you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Secondly, you don't push a wagon by every now and then mentioning you're still happy with it. You push it by pushing it. Here's your last post on HR:

-i planned to edit some real content in here, but cba. my feelings are that HR's posts feel manufactured lately, so i'm still comfortable with the wagon-

If you want to push a wagon, especially in the face of a strong counterwagon, cba is not an option. You better be assed to put some real content in here if you want us to follow your point of view.

Of course the probability that you'll manage to convince me to lynch a non-contributor is low (like, .005 catwagons low) but VP thinks Howard is positively scum so I'm sure you've got his support if you try to get the old HR wagon a-turning. But you can't just say that you want to lynch HR as though you expect other players to say "well gee if xd thinks it I don't need to know his reasons, I'm sure he's right, vote howard."

preview edit: also what VP said. I tend to forget about that perspective because I was spared the three weeks of tedium prior to my replacing in.

[Xdaamno]

Fair enough, you two've convinced me.

Unvote, Vote: Cat

[VP Baltar]

Someone hammer for Vishnu's sake!

[VP Baltar]

EBWOP: Actually a hold that...a claim would be nice.

[Sotty7]

Sorry about not posting here yesterday. Husband was home sick with the stomach flu. Needless to say it was a very messy and unfun day.

That said I haven't missed much. I am still very much behind a Cat lynch. His last post was pretty crappy "I have nothing to take a stance on" despite there being replacements and a flurry of activity. I find that very weak. I agree that a claim would be nice, but with the frequency Cat checks on this game we could be waiting awhile.

Where's Tajo?

[HowardRoark]

5 days away. why wait?

Because I like my Xdaamno vote, but am not willing to let the day end as a no majority therefore no lynch.

Where's Tajo?

See post 543. (Did that mean yesterday or D2? I assumed the latter.)
