ZOMG, we should lynch TP42 for using a mac!

@Mute - you're some guy for "innovative ideas"

- but, why not just post normally this time? - I'm not having a go at you, but this audio idea of yours may be something to work on for your next game when you've got time to work it all out? (I'd suggest you think very carefully about it though, as it kinda compromises your identity).

Having said all that:

Drench: I'm VLA until Monday, please bear with me, I've had/still have family issues taking up a lot of time at present

@Drench: I too will be VLA for two days

I'll be V/LA probably until tomorrow night, I'm home for the weekend and Internet is down.

No Lynch

Not Voting - 3 - Concerned, Mute, Neuky

With seven alive, it's four to lynch!

Day Two's deadline expires on the 2nd of March at 10:46pm AEDST (GMT+11).

Activity is rather lackluster. Granted, half of you are V/LA, but I would hope it picks up soon.

Well, I'm still here. <.<

Of course this is just WIFOM, but considering that town would never expect scum to unearth their scum buddies easily like that, why not do it and gain a little town-vibe?

It's a 2/8 shot, or 25% not exactly the worst odds in the world.

Are you honestly expecting to lynch someone based on an rvs comment however coincidental it may appear. You have to give more, make a case, do SOMETHING you've said very little, I know my slot has actually been exceedingly town, and I'll be damned if you paint this slot as scummy because stels made a lucky shot in the RvS.

I'd also like you to answer what scum motivation you think hypothetical scum-ty had for fingering stels.

I stand corrected. You have the right numbers. But still, I wouldn't bet my pay check against those odds.

I didn't get a townie vibe from Ty, in spite of his numerous WoWs (or perhaps because of that), the comment during RVS just stood out as scummy to me as well, and conveniently so at a time when it could be dismissed easily, as you are effectively doing now.

I can think of at least two reasons:
1. Calling someone scum so early in the game, will actually have the opposite effect on most people's mind. The first thing one would say is "Come on, how can he be scum, we are just beginning the game! there is no way we can find scum so early", thus subtly implying that he is innocent at that point.
2. An extremely early distancing gambit. After all, even if Stels flips as scum later on you could just say: "Wow! did you see that? I just got a lucky shot at him during RVS but I was right!!!". Earning super-scum-hunter townie points.

#1 is a valid point, as I can see where that could work in some situations.

However, #2 would not work. If Ty really acted like he had known that Stels was scum, it would be a too-good-to-be-true situation. He'd get lynched faster than you can say it, too. If Ty played it off as pure guesswork, then it's a null-tell at best, not town.

@Drench
Can we possibly have a mass prod go out to those not V/LA?

Workdawg · Post Post #537 (ISO) » Mon Feb 21, 2011 4:13 pm

I'm still here again. I'm just really conflicted on what to think.

I sort of feel like concerned has done a decent job of defending Ty's actions, but I'm not totally sure.

I still feel like hasn't really contributed much either. I think at this point, my top three are Mute, Sordros, and Ty, but I really don't know who I think is more scummy. I think sordros is probably a little more suspicious to me at this point.

Still feel who hasn't contributed much either?

Workdawg · Post Post #539 (ISO) » Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:11 pm

Woah.... sorry. Tired posting ftl...

I still feel like sodros hasn't contributed very much. I'll probably take another look at that slot tomorrow and see if I can come up with anything.

Neuky · Post Post #540 (ISO) » Mon Feb 21, 2011 9:10 pm

I'm back, and would like Mute's post/presentation - I'd mainly want to hear who his top 2 is and why. I've got a post coming up about Stels' comments soon.

sordros · Post Post #541 (ISO) » Tue Feb 22, 2011 3:52 am

Ok, I think this game needs is a little more energy. Considering we lynched scum day 1, we have the luxury to be a little reckless.

In the hopes of re-activating this game, I'm ready to jump to my next scum candidate and jump-start this game again.

VOTE: Mute

I bet we will have plenty of discussion from here on.

Concerned · Post Post #542 (ISO) » Tue Feb 22, 2011 5:44 am

So you hammer?
Best hope I'm wrong and mute is scum...

Workdawg · Post Post #543 (ISO) » Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:57 am

Woah.

Well, I can't say I'm sad about this, but I guess we'll see what we get.

Actually... the person being lynched is NOT supposed to post during twilight from what I gather from the rules.

theplague42 · Post Post #547 (ISO) » Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:15 am

Really? That may well be in the rules, but I've never followed it IMO. The only (*knocks on wood*) time I've been mislynched, I spilled my guts out on who I thought was suspicious or not.

theplague42 · Post Post #548 (ISO) » Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:16 am

Edit: Why the hell did I put IMO? Makes no sense in that context.... "personally" would be a better choice.

Neuky · Post Post #549 (ISO) » Tue Feb 22, 2011 10:37 am

Aah - I haven't seen that rule in a game before either. Well, if you are town, I guess the change in play style was ultimately to do with RL issues, rather than the game and your reaction to the hammer accusations. I do think the last mafia was on your wagon.
