So yeah, two of the three people i most think are scum are V/LA. Almost tempted to say see y'all next weekend, as i'm not sure how much we can do without them. Should have some kind of votecount thing up soon.

I hear that going afk during tense periods is a scum-tell - any credence to that? It only really makes much sense with context imo.

Rare moment of internet connection- 2 points. 1, VE said that it doesn't matter if we no lynch today even though he would probably die. Suspicious. 2. Don't rule out Fonz yet. Maybe VE did block the scum.

1. Is an interesting point.

At this point, i'm fairly suspicious of a ve / the fonz team, but that's simply because the potential gambit greatly intrigues me. I think that's fairly unlikely, but I think if anyone could pull it off, it would be them. I'm far more suspicious of the fonz though.

As for my status, im currently up north with family, I would be happy to post a picture of the lake if you want to accuse me of trying to hide during an important time.

I'm currently going back through ISOs like I had intended to do at the end of D2 (thanks again, VE...), and I'll post my thoughts later when I have them all written out.

FYI, likely a wall-o-text. Be forewarned...

Nah, was just trying to clarify.

@cymru
I never said it didn't matter if we no-lynch. I said that we COULD no-lynch today because it's over if we mislynch (unless I can block the NK). Yes, there's a very high probability that I'd be the target of the night-kill...but that's a sacrifice I'd GLADLY make to earn town one more day of scumhunting...especially since with me dead, people who suspect ME the most can obviously then turn their attention to ACTUAL scum. I'd like my first game on this site to be a win, so I wouldn't mind dying if you guys end up winning. But NOT to a lynch...because then it's over and scum wins. How is that suspicious?

@Workdawg
Why would I be able to pull it off and not, say, Fonz/Zach? Clearly they're BOTH more experienced than I am, and Zach seems to be going to pretty great lengths to distance himself from Fonz. My problem is that Fonz has been actually scumhunting...while Zach has been primarily suspicious of me, until here recently. And I believe you sir, I was just inquiring as to the validity of that scum-tell...or at least others' belief in its validity.

I don't know what to think anymore. I'd like to hear Grimmjow's thoughts (even if they ARE more nonsense about me being scum :P.) Even if we don't agree, his thoughts might spark something in MY mind. I'm just kinda grasping at straws here.

P-Edit:

Thank goodness! WB Grimm. ^^

Well, the main thing is that you and the fonz are already involved, and I can see you two make it work. The fonz is obviously a very smart player, and you've established a track record for doing wildly scummy things and avoiding suspicion for them.

Sorry, guys. I thought I'd have more time than I do. I'm in the process of moving into a new place and getting all the shit together and such is taking a lot of time.

@Mod: I'm V/LA until Monday August 8


I'll be moved in Saturday, but the internet isn't going to be turned on until Monday. If, once we get moved in, I can leech internet off my neighbors (or crack them <.<) then I'll be back before Monday.

I'll still be checking in once in a while, and I'll do some work in the thread when I can. Just FYI.

Meh. Prod dodge then. Nothing new to say right now, other than VE's gambit defence is flawed - if it doesn't involve you, it's not a gambit in the first place.

It seems I will not have access to internet from tomorrow afternoon to some time on Monday (Friday through Monday). I will not be able to do any work in the thread between now and then, since I still have a shit ton to pack up. So I'll be back in full force sometime on Monday.

Yeah, that was a terrible idea cymru. And it's not scumhunting...why are you interested in causing controversy? Isn't there enough of that in the thread already? Why don't you comment on something that's already happening instead of causing even more drama in the thread? You need only read the thread to know that there's a lot going on...did you read the thread when you got back before casting your derp vote?

Okay, I'm going back over the thread keeping Occam's Razor in mind. I tried applying it to the present situation, but I can't decide which is the simplest explanation: me blocking the shot made AT Fonz or me blocking the shot that Fonz MADE. In my opinion, they're equally possible and equally likely.

The Fonz wrote:Meh. Prod dodge then. Nothing new to say right now, other than VE's gambit defence is flawed - if it doesn't involve you, it's not a gambit in the first place.


Well, I don't really consider what I posted a 'defense'...first of all, Workdawg wasn't really 'attacking' me per se...he said that he was suspicious of me and Fonz, but he didn't have much of a reason to suspect either one of us (Fonz because he's experienced and me because of a lie...that I've been avoiding suspicion for my actions...which is absolutely NOT the case.) As such, I was simply presenting alternative that utilized his BORROWED logic (experience).

I do find it interesting how Fonz read that post as more of an attack on me that I had to defend, in spite of the fact that he CLEARLY states in that post that he's more suspicious of Fonz.

Wheels are turning...I'm going out tonight, but I'll be back with a reread and another post later.
