Open 278: Empking's Five Player

[bv310]

It's awesome that nobody bothered to PM me that the day was open.

Anyway, I support no-lynching D1 (obviously).

Stef, what do you mean?

[bv310]

Ahhhhhhh, I see.

[bv310]

How do we want to start the discussion? I propose we go with the classic RQS strategy.

[bv310]

Wow, Scraps, you're REALLY reaching here.

[bv310]

I've got an idea: Why don't we vote for who's going to be investigated?

[bv310]

I meant instead of voting we vote for the investigation. In retrospect, it's not actually that great an idea.

[bv310]

Because I no longer think the idea's any good. I initially intended it to be a replacement for actual voting (and thus generate discussion), but on further thought it doesn't seem to be effective.

[bv310]

Scraps, by having the cop claim before then end of day (this has to happen), we have either a scum and a confirmed Townie (with a 3-man LyLo at the end) or two confirmed Townies, and a 66% chance of hitting scum and a 3-man LyLo.

@Mod, could we get a prod on Cthulhu?

I don't like how he just jumped in, tried to push a bit, then dropped back into the background.

[bv310]

Coulda sworn I posted in here yesterday. Anyway, I'll get a post in tonight. Writing my 2nd of 3 midterm papers atm.

[bv310]

Read over the thread to see if anything stands out, but honestly nothing sticks out to me as blatantly scummy. Going by my gut, I'm willing to say Cthulu/BVoigt as a scumteam, although I'm much more confident in nmy Cthulu read, so I'd like BVoigt to be investigated tonight.

Anyway, I have class right now, so I'll go over the thread again and see if nothing sticks out to me.

[bv310]

Come on guys, we need to either talk or decide who's being investigated and no lynch and end this day.

[bv310]

How is that a question that you think will get any semblance of a real answer? No, I'm not "lurking and bandwagoning". I'm voting for my top suspect. Whether they have the most votes or not is unimportant to me.

[bv310]

Like I've said previously, I want either Cthulu or bvoigt investigated. I feel like these two are the easiest chance to get a guilty. You're welcome to investigate me, but I'd much rather see a Guilty than an Innocent tomorrow.

[bv310]

Posting in all my games: V/LA from now until the 8th. Two term papers and a 35% presentation mean I'm not going to be around as much as I'd like. If this is a problem, please replace me.

Version 3 of this motherfucking post. The "I swear this site hates me" edition.

Cthulhu is scum. Here's why:

First post, he says that he agrees with the no lynch plan, but that it's anti-town to propose it. This looks to me like something scumbuddies would cook up in pregame to try and help each other get some town cred early.

Then, his reaction to my "vote for the investigation" plan is just bad. His first reaction is a misunderstanding, but once he understands what's going on, he says that he's worried that scum will try to influence it. This is clearly just him setting himself up to go "See, I was right" if the target flipped Town.

Then we come to his interaction with bvoigt. To me, the whole run just reeks of weak bussing. Neither of them ever really commit to the argument against each other, and the second he gets an opportunity to jump somewhere else, he does.

Then he starts asking pointless rhetorical questions, and trying to push not answering them as scummy.

I also love his ISO 14 where he refuses to provide a case against me, saying that no one else has given a case, so he wouldn't.

I'll vote for bvoigt, but I think this day can get a bit more info in it first.

[bv310]

I stand by my Cthulhu case, so

vote: Cthulhu

[bv310]

Really? What else is there to do at this point? I know I'm Town, and I have a strong Town read on you, so he's the only option left.

[bv310]

Woo. I dislike this setup.

[bv310]

Glad it's over.

This. So much this. After that D1, I figured it was over

[bv310]

Pretty sure the only good thing I did this game was choose the right NK.
