Open 268: Raise the White Flag (Game Over)

[andrew94]

at airport (free internet) (only things thats free) (hope my luggage doesnt get stolen)

more when my plane actually arrives and lands (stupid delay)

[SnakePlissken]

First, a contradiction:

Why would scum be the first one to bring it up? Wouldn't that make them the obvious scum once I flip town?

I was the first to bring up the little connection between chk and yabba, and with this logic he gives, it makes little sense for me to be scum. However, once I kept hounding him about it:

I just don't feel like posting content to have some scum with more tenure shoot it down because he can write more eloquently than I can.

Wait, I thought scum wouldn't draw attention to that out of some odd paranoid fear? You're weak ass story is falling apart man, and you're getting pissy about it.

BTW, hope you get well soon.

Striker, snake, bvoigt:

Wait...you are already accusing scum buddies when one scum hasn't been gotten. Not only that,

but striker votes snake for WHAT reason?

That is either some silly ass distancing or a really shoddy vote.

It's a shoddy vote. I come back from V/LA briefly just to put a quick post in I haven't had anytime to read back so I don't know what questions you are referring to Bvoigt?

I've swapped in and then gone V/LA I haven't had a really decent moment to get the feel of this game yet.

Well, I thought they were both scummy for separate reasons, and the fact that rekirtS didn't want to accuse Snake just added to their scumminess. You're right, though...I won't bring this up again unless one of them flips scum.

UNVOTE: SnakePlissken
VOTE: chkflip

Unfortunately, we probably don't have enough support to lynch either of them; this seems like a good place for my vote with the deadline in a few days.

bvoigt seems to be trying to create BWs with little substance and hoping they'll catch on. While Chkflip looks to be a bit scattershot Im wondering whether it's the headcold or the IRL stuff going on that is causing the non comittal responses, however I feel his frustration over the more elequant/better posters (In that I mean those who take naturally to the game and can post better than others myself included) as I am victim to that and it makes me withdraw and be more tentative rather than engage head on, so I'm not entirely convinced Chkflip is scum. I read through Linisfarne's posts and see nothing realy that stands out for a Chkflip lynch.

We have a few days left so Im nit going to rush into any vote. Is there a case for a No lynch?

[bvoigt]

Chkflip is not my #1 scum candidate, but I don't want a no lynch. And, like I said earlier, there probably isn't enough support for lynching you or rekirtS. BTW Snake, have you read the entire thread?

[SnakePlissken]

Not yet, im getting there, but Im off out to a resturant for dinner so Im going to be away for the next few hours. I have been going through individual posts to see why they are reasoning on who thye are voting for currently.

[Lindisfarne]

CHK's staunchest defense is against my weakest argument. I admitted the yabba connection is the only thing that makes sense with yabba's death, and would be in lieu of other reasons if he was scum. However that is the one he defended most against, and his reasons amounted to a paranoid, contradictory conspiracy. That reaction seems very suspect to me.

No lynch seems like a horrid idea right now. The Math:

Currently 9 players - 3 scum and 6 townies.
Tonight 1 townie will die. Giving that a No Lynch occurs this equals 3 scum and 5 townies, 8 players.
TOMORROW, if town does not lynch a scum, and instead lynches ANOTHER townie, there will be 3 scum and 4 townies, 7 players.
At night, another townie will die, and scum will win: 3 scum and 3 townies.

If we No Lynch today, and mislynch tomorrow, town loses.

If we lynch a townie today, we will have 3 scum and 5 townies: during the night another townie will die equating to a 3/4 ratio. This still gives us a lynch tomorrow even if we mislynch today.

One method gives us one lynch to work with and the other gives us two. A No Lynch is a horrid idea at this stage.

[rekirtS]

Sorry for the rash vote yesterday guys, I guess. I voted him because I had thought he had read the entire thread and that was all he was going to offer. Oops.

Eh touche I suppose.. least for this day

VOTE: chkflip
His giving up and frustration just seems like an annoyed giving up at having a role with higher responsibility (scum) and blowing it. I'm a bit more confident with this wagon vs the stupid ass wagon that day 1 ended with. If he ends up flipping town... scum has got to be on this wagon...

Lastly I'd suggest whoever is going to hammer.. to warn others before hammering and give chkflip a chance to give his final words (ala hammer close to deadline).

[silverbullet999]

Also the mac is temporary... I'm STILL laptopless... I would highly suggest you not (with the exception of a ps3) purchase Sony products....

[Chaotic Neutrality]

On a mac, copy-paste is Apple+C and Apple+V.

You seem afraid to give an opinion. You've given a weak opinion of chkflip and a fading scum read on shotty/Lind. I keep ISOing you, and I can't find a single strong opinion anywhere, except that you think Andrew's a VI.

I disagree that I'm afraid to give an opinion, I just didn't have an incredibly strong one. Day 1 I stated my opinion of disagreement with the crappy wagon.

[Stefunny]

I agree that a no lynch is a bad idea, and I agree that chk is suspicious, but I was hoping to hear more from Snake and andrew before possibly mislynching. I'm a little upset that we may not hear much from them before the deadline and I get the feeling that at least one of them could be riding coat-tails through the game.

His giving up and frustration just seems like an annoyed giving up at having a role with higher responsibility (scum) and blowing it.

Or it could be 'I'm a townie darn it!' desperation. Not that he's really tried hard to go that way either, but I could see being annoyed and giving up going either way.

I'm a bit more confident with this wagon

vs the stupid ass wagon that day 1 ended with.

If he ends up flipping town... scum has got to be on this wagon..

.

I don't like this sentence at all. I'm not sure why, but it reads really funny to me. I feel like you are agreeing with this lynch and distancing yourself from it at the same time.

chk is L-1, correct?

I would go ahead and tell chk that he should give his final words now, rather than waiting for someone to say they will hammer if it gets close to deadline. At this point he needs to start talking regardless.

[chkflip]

Your loss.

A lynch has been reached. Please hold for the next available agent.

[Equinox]

chkflip's pleas fell on deaf ears. The lynch mob continued to lay on their accusations, one after the other, until their victim could take it no longer. Before anyone could stop him, chkflip ran for the gallows and hanged himself.

When he finally stopped twitching, they cut him down and started searching the body. They found nothing but a bunch of house keys, a few Tylenol pills, and... a black flag?

chkflip,

townie

, has been lynched on Day 2!

Night 2 begins now. The deadline is Saturday, January 1, 8:50 PM EST (UTC-5).

[Equinox]

When Stefunny failed to show up for a scheduled meeting on Halo: Reach and didn't return any phone calls, her fellow unicorn brethren reported her missing to the local police. However, it seems even the police have been infiltrated by the mafia, for the report itself vanished. Given the situation, you all assume that Stefunny is now dead.

Stefunny,

townie

, was killed on Night 2!

Day 3 begins now.

Sorry, my brain isn't functioning properly this evening. Thread is now open for discussion.

[andrew94]

woot 2 games day started at once.


lindis, ...
i dont like ur last post. it was like full of mathemathic fluff

[silverbullet999]

That was a fast night...

chkflip... i figure your still reading this to make a bah post...

that self hammer was unnecessary... I'm sure someone would have hammered you by the end of the day before deadline...

(sigh)

bloody hell i'm tired...

-all
Those who didn't vote are being thrown on my town list for the day (unless they do something incredibly scummy) as I refuse to believe that town would fail this bad... (though I guess it's slightly possible...). I'd ask that one of these 4 be the lynch for today (though again feel free to investigate all) Lindisfarne, Chaotic Neutrality, bvoigt, silverbullet999.

Anyway BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR VOTE AS ONE WRONG VOTE MEANS THE SCUM CAN JUST HOP ON AND WIN i believe.

[SnakePlissken]

Bvoigt and CN were the two I was thinking of after the flip.

[andrew94]

why is your name in the list silverbullet,,,
what kind of act is that

[bvoigt]

DON'T SELF HAMMER AS TOWN!!

Anyway, I still think Snake is scum, and probably rekirtS. However, I'm wondering why the scum killed Stefunny. I certainly didn't have a strong town read on her, and it didn't seem like she was heavily accusing anyone.

[rekirtS]

He was saying everyone who voted CHKflip yesterday.

Anyway, I still think Snake is scum, and probably rekirtS. However, I'm wondering why the scum killed Stefunny. I certainly didn't have a strong town read on her, and it didn't seem like she was heavily accusing anyone.

Isn't a town self hammer ban-worthy on this board?

It depends on the mod.

Who do you have a strong town read on then?
