Well done. Now if I live, you've posited why I should be the D2 lynch. If you're town, can you see why setting up future lynches before the flip is BAD? That doesn't just go for you by the way... all this speculation about who to lynch tomorrow just informs the NK.

Regardless, if Haylen is driving content here in one form or another, I've seen how a game can quickly stagnate once that disappears.
a2rudeboy wrote:In regards to Haylen. Yes i feel the game is stagnating to an extent where it is the same couple of people posting most frequently. I also believe that for a couple of pages, we were caught up in a debate that mostly boiled down to circular logic and even just plain bickering. Right now, I both don't find Haylen scummy, nor do I wish to lose her scumhunting/ability to question and move the game forward.
I view your scumhunting abilities as beneficial to the town in the course of this game. Also, I realise my earlier votes/reasoning may have been based primarily on your frequent walls of posts (see our previous exchange). Further game experience on this site has led me to notice this bias and the negative effect supporting or leading a lynch based on this fact primarily can have in a game.
Looking over the way D1 has gone, Haylen's circular logic has taken town off track far more than Zajnet and lurking. I said that I was leaning this way, and now it's time to make it concrete.
Sorry, but no matter what you say, people not contributing is much much worse than people who use irregular logic - mainly cause they have been told so much that they suck as town by experienced players that they respect, that they begin believing it and lowering themselves to those expectations.
I wasn't lying about my role. I was Vanilla. Jmurph's reasons for hammering are not cool, her case on Zajnet was stronger.
I wont be playing anymore games for a while, this recent trend of getting lynched day one has hit me hard. Chaio.
Seriously. Read your role PM before playing.
I am sorry if you have to prod me, I have absolutely no concept of time.
My prefered pronoun set is "cie/cir/cirs[elf]" but they is more than acceptable.
Oh, I'm not sure if I mentioned but remember I said I was appealing against getting kicked out of Uni? My appeal was upheld and I get to repeat the year except the Psychology Unit I get 92% in (Social Psychology and Individual Differences...no wonder I put a lot of faith in meta, it's basically individual differences in a mafia setting). ^_^

Time was running out, as you decide which two you should lynch. As the sun sets, you decide to lynch
Haylen
. You string her up on the noose, and something falls out of her pocket. Did you make the right choice?
No. The item that fell out of her pocket was a coupon for a book store.
Haylen was lynched Day 1. She was a Vanilla Townie
It is now Night 1. All actions are due to me in 72 hours. Day 2 will begin when the deadline hits. Actions that miss the deadline will be forgone. If you have a QT, you may post in it until daybreak.

The day dawns. You walk to the town square to find
a2rudeboy
's head on the top of the monument, and his intestines wrapped around the statue. Horrified, you talk amongst yourselves to decide who goes next in the gallows.
a2rudeboy was killed Night 1. He was a Vanilla Townie

Whelp, I was thinking of something like a rudeboy/jmurph scumteam, but I guess not. I'm thinking rudeboy's death makes Flay more likely to be scum. Need to reread.

I was expecting Flay or myself to die... Plus, it seems odd for the mafia to kill a lurker. Something I'd expect from a newbie.
vote Zajnet
This vote is primarily in response to day 1. I'll quote and paraphrase if anyone wants a recap.
On hiatus indefinitely. This was a nice distraction when I was working through my faith transition out of Mormonism, but I need to move on to bigger and better things now. Get to know a meat boy

I'm fast out of the gate because I got an email that someone had posted here.
I think you're more likely scum because after Haylen died, I had you as my third scum pick behind a2 and jmurph. Now you're in the top 2, that's all I'm saying. I gotta drive to Austin (4 hrs) tomorrow, so idk if I'll be able to post before or after that.
@Beefster, yeah I actually had expected you to die. More on that later.

Don't forget that there's two scum left. For the newbie reasoning to fly, both people would have to be newbs. You (Nexus) and Kov are the only newbies left in the game. On that note, I really don't think either of you is scum. I'd bet that jmurph is scum, and possibly Flay, or maybe that last scum really is you or Kov. I really need to get around to a full reread to analyze connections. Tomorrow.

I'm doing a reread of the thread so I can settle my thoughts before posting on D2. I will try to have a post up later today.
At the moment, though, I want to say that I do not find posting first to be scummy at all. In fact, in all of my previous games, the person who posted first after N1 was town.
Also, Beefster, I expected Mr. Flay as IC to die as well, which is making me suspicious of him still being alive. Besides, in your reasoning for voting Zajnet you state that you think the scum is likely to be a newb, but then vote for Zajnet, who's been around long enough to not be a newb.
Either way, I'm really not liking this quick-hate mob on Zajnet. I don't disagree that things he did on D1 were scummy, but not enough to merit immediate voting until I've had a chance to reread the thread. Besides, I'm getting a vibe from Mr. Flay that merits a closer look.

If Zaj is scum, this is noted. As it's an obvious defense.
vote:earlder1
The previous reasons on Zaj were for active lurking. Your lurking aswell Earl also don't say "for previously mentioned reasons" quote or link or paraphrase them(same for you nexus).
What's this "if Zaj is scum" business? Seems like an odd condition for that defense to be noted.
Why no FoS on Zajnet? He was also an active lurker. (Not to mention the hypocrisy)
What makes earlder more scummy than Zaj?
@everyone: I can definitely see scum motives behind not killing me or Flay. They're largely WIFOM (to make me and/or him look like scum), so I'd rather not get into them any deeper. There's really nothing to be gained from circular logic because there is so much uncertainty.
