Open 226: Big Love - Game over! Town wins!

[Shattered Viewpoint]

Hi -- So Calif thunderstorms killed my cellular internet card (I live in the mountains, no landline).

Catching up; I promise content within twelve hours.

[Fidelis]

Ok so here’s more thoughts:

Mr.Sandman: He hasn’t posted all that much, but he does have some good opinions and seems to contribute. Nothing scummy I think.

Pittbunny sends me mixed signals. Most of his posts are basically contentless criticisms of other players. Then once the XMR triangle sprung up and captured everyone’s attention, he started discussing things quite a bit more. This could be scummy tendencies? To post non-controversial things when town is on the hunt and then to come out and say your opinion when we’re focusing on someone else in particular… I’d give him more attention than has been given so far.

Robo: I don’t see why so many people are up in arms about Robo. He’s never struck me as being terribly scummy, he’s been making sense and pushing for lynches of players that do seem scummy. And it never seemed like he was just bandwagoning either… the worst thing he’s done is changed his avatar to a Pokemon.

Sanxion barely posts. I’d like to see more activity there…

Shattered viewpoint just struck me as somewhat insane until his last two posts. He misread something in the thread, but still acted convinced enough by what he read to put a vote on Xite. SCUM! And @Shattered's post above this, posting content seems a little rare for you, I would love to see some though.

SSS doesn’t post, like ever….

Switz is posting a ridiculous amount of content for a replacement in such a confusing game. I say he’s leaning town.

Wacka has been doing some quality scumhunting. Even though sometimes we have different opinions on how to go about it, he does contribute quite a bit to town.

Xite… oh dear god. So the entire “plan” thing makes me itch about him. But that’s also a result of my former policy of lynching liars. He’s managed to convince me that his ploy was probably protown, and he was just being a lying trickster if not a scum… However, in the very beginning of the plan, he suggested systematically lynching the lovers. TERRIBLE IDEA! This puts him on my scummy list.

Yabbaguy is fine with me. He at least posts reasons for all of his votes and unvotes.

Youngminii has had one post that didn’t include a vote or an unvote. God I hate inactives.

Zajnet you never explained your actions like you said you would…. Meh.

Zerofang posts a lot of content as well, he’s fine with me.

[Fidelis]

Sorry about the double post, but the above post had a natural ending point. So assuming we're going through with the lynch of chihuahua and I today, my last advice would be to keep a close eye on Shattered, Pittbunny, and Xite in the future. If Shattered or Xite flare up as scummy again, lynch them! Don't let plausible scum escape more than once. And pay closer attention to don. He doesn't strike me as too scummy, but he is very single-minded in his posts. Other than that, good hunting! Let's lynch this treacherous dog!

[Robocopter87]

the worst thing he’s done is changed his avatar to a Pokemon.

Now wait just a burger flipping minute.

Pokemon are awesome! Lolz, its an opinion thing really. I don't feel like ruining this topic and making people argue over Pokemon so I forget I'm arguing about this.

[Wacka Alpaca]

Ok, so I reread most of the topic, and these are the observations I have made about the "Big players" in this game, at this time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*Organised for ease of reading*

Spoiler: Analysis Pertaining To: Robocopter, Don_Johnson

Robo seems scummy to me for the same reason I think Don_Johnson seems scummy - they push for one person to be lynched REALLY hard, and both have posts that's sole purpose is:
"Lynch this guy already..."
That is a scummy thing in my experiences, and as such, I would like to examine them closer in the next day (Since we "all" seem so keen on lynching Chi).

Spoiler: Analysis Pertaining To: Chiahuahua

To be honest, the only thing that sticks out as scummy for me (for chi) is that he said he would have hammered, but then didn't vote for L-1.
I mean, yes, scum hammer, but day 1? that seems like a big risk. Especially if he flipped town (The lynchee that is).
Althoug again, at the same time, a townie wouldn't care, and votes for people who he FEELS deserve a vote, whether they have 0 votes already, or are L-1.
Overall, appears to be a scummy action.
Plus we have the calling out that whoever the player was (lol memory fail, i dont think ive remembered his name once XD), said he is the lover of Chi, and that BECAUSE he is convinced Chi appears scummy, he wants to sacrifice himself for the cause.

In all honesty, I do believe we should EVENTUALLY lynch chi/(If true)That other guy, but what makes this so pertinant?

What do we GAIN from lynching him day one?
Possibly, one dead NON POWER ROLE scum, who we already plan on lynching eventually.

What do we LOSE from lynching him day one?
Possibly (Again, if true), one townie.
The info we would gain from lynching Xite (Info such as, is Xite scum? is he Millar's lover? is robo Millar's lover? is Millar a VT?)

Again, I think that lynching Chi TODAY, is a bad idea.
I think, lynching Xite, is the BEST course of action for THIS day phase.

And for the reasons above, (I do the arbitrary)

FoS: Chi

, and

Vote: Xite

.

[Pittbunny]

Wacka, did you really have to spoiler those? I was honestly expecting a massive wall.

@Fidelis: Yeah, that won't be the last time I hear that judgment. Also, I assume Robo's new avatar is part advertising for his next game. Moving on, yes. It was opportunistic of me to ping the triangle. However, it's a fairly solid situation to be looking in to, seeing as the people involved are quite...colorful? in their actions.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

He definitely deserves death. Even if he isn't mafia, he's still rather anti-town. And as far as getting information goes, we'll probably be better off finding scum without his distractions. I'm still pretty sure he's mafia though...

If you're "pretty sure" he's mafia....

WHY AREN'T YOU VOTING?


Millar is being a tool and very anti-town.

Vote: millar

MOAR MILLAR VOTES plskthx

Remember this? I do.

I don't see any way, no way, no how, that Fidelis is town. Shush now.

Therefore:

unvote

Vote: chihuahua

[DavidParker]

Well, I think it's quite possible one of them is the treacherous lover. I'm not entirely convinced, but I think it's a better lynch than any as we will have to lynch them eventually (since I don't see scum having any reason to kill them due to how scummy they have been). I think it's better to get our "policy" lynches done with sooner rather than later.

With that said, I think we should agree on a chihuahua lynch, but still be pressuring/questioning other players and their motives before ending the day phase, as it's still possible someone may make a bigger slip.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

Pay attention, DP. I just hammered. Day One has come to an end (not that I'm the Mod, or anything, but.)

[DavidParker]

Oh dear, a couple wall posts that I skimmed and no vote counts since L-3 so I missed it.

Oh well. I'm happy with this lynch or I wouldn't be on the list of players voting for him.

chihuahua0 was lynched, so replacing him isn't an issue.

smashbro_of_the_SSS has picked up his prod, but hasn't posted.

Prod Count:

chihuahua0, Muthaa, Pittbunny, Reverse Simplicity, Shattered Viewpoint, smashbro_of_the_SSS, youngminii - 1

We have a lynch!

Thew town gathered. They loved, they learned, they shared, they voted. The decision was made. chihuahua0 was marched to the centre of town. The noose was tied around his neck. His final act was to strike up a defiant smirk and cry "My brethren will avenge me!" before he was hoist into the air and soon became no more.

chihuahua0,

Treacherous Lover

, lynched Day 1

As the lifeless remains of chihuahua0 dangled in the breeze, a sobbing Fidelis broke free of the mob. Hugging his dead lover, he pulled something from his pocket. His gun. And before anyone could react, there was another dead body in the town square.

Fidelis,

Lover

, suicided Day 1.

Night fell, and a shaken town prepared for what was to come.

Deadline for Night 1 is Wednesday, July 21st at 8pm UK time.

[DizzyIzzyB13]

The town awoke from a night of fitful sleep and troubled speculation. They gathered in the town square to dispose of yesterday's bodies... but now there was a third corpse. The mystery body was rolled onto his back to reveal their newly deceased but fortunately single comrade Pittbunny, blood dripping from the hole blown through his head. Looks like you're gonna need some more shovels...

Pittbunny,

Townie

, shot Night 1

So why did Pitt die again?

More later.

[yabbaguy]

Also, please analyze the value of your heated debate before you start one that plans on spanning the length of a page and consists of nothing more than one-liners.

[Robocopter87]

Fidelis! Your death was not in Vain! We shall smite these evil demons from the face of the earth on a mighty foundation of your good doing and sacrifice!

The highest praise to our brave fallen comrade, Fidelis!!!!!

What would you give, to say to those demons, that they may take our lives but they will never take,

OUR FREEDOM!!!!!!!

[Shattered Viewpoint]

Dude. What are you

smoking?

[Robocopter87]

I don't know but everything is all blurry because of it...[/joke]

[Zajnet]

If the scum shot Pitt because they were looking for millar's lover, why not just shoot millar?

[Switz]

If the scum shot Pitt because they were looking for millar's lover, why not just shoot millar?

This is a very good question that makes me rethink everything I thought about Millar. Dislike.

Anyways,

Vote: Shattered Viewpoint

for hammering not because he thought Chi was scum, but because he thought Fidelis was scum...

[Muthaa]

Uh well sorry for being inactive for like the whole day 1... anyways...

@ Robo: Why are your posts so empty lately?

@ Zajnet: Even better: why didn't they kill millar? I don't see why scum would leave a claimed lover stay alive.

[Robocopter87]

@ Robo: Why are your posts so empty lately?

Don't have much to say.

[Zajnet]

@ Zajnet: Even better: why didn't they kill millar? I don't see why scum would leave a claimed lover stay alive.

That's what I said.

It could all be wifom, but I'm starting to think that millar is scum.

Also, SV is definitely scummy for his actions yesterday.

FoS: SV, millar

[Muthaa]

That's what I said.

It could all be wifom, but I'm starting to think that millar is scum.

Also, SV is definitely scummy for his actions yesterday.

FoS: SV, millar

Well if millar is scum then robo probably is his partner, unless that wifom thing get's cleared.
And

FoS: SV

too, I really don't like his way of going with the flow.

[yabbaguy]

Doctor WIFOM. Maybe they were scared millar was being protected if my logic checks out.

Pitt also was blatantly pressuring Xite, who was in that shortlist which was never really trichotomized until Switz asked the ill-fated question. But I need to double-check who else is scummy.
