7 alive, 4 to lynch.
Quite a few people?

My theory was posted on Post 152.Patrick wrote:I'm confused about that. Your last post doesn't make sense. It seems that you first said that you were disproved, then 5 posts later you asked what reasons there were for Nightfall/Ernie not being scumbuddies. Those two things don't make any sense together.
I gave some reasons for not thinking they're scumbuddies in my post 155.
If I understand right, you think there may have been some scum strategy to take heat off Nightfall (presumably scum in this scenrario) by talking about Ripley? Why would that distract us from Nightfall? It's not like anyone was making a case against Ripley for making a useful post, and with the lack of discussion, nothing would stop the town from talking about both things at once anyway.CDB wrote:Ripley's case on Nightfall sort of disappeared - people basically said "Ripley looks protown" and then talked about whether that was a null tell for him.

Nightfall, could you go back and answer Ripley's post about you, please, and if you did, please tell me where it was as I must have missed it. Until then (and possibly after), FoS: Nightfall
The point I was making was that the case on Nightfall seemed to disappear because people were too busy discussing whether Ripley looked pro-town or not. I think it was worth exploring further, and if it had only been one person who was talking about it possibly being a null tell for Ripley, I would have accused them of trying to take the heat off Nightfall. As it was more than one, I'm not so sure it was a scum strategy.Patrick wrote:CDB, elaborate on this please:If I understand right, you think there may have been some scum strategy to take heat off Nightfall (presumably scum in this scenrario) by talking about Ripley?

I want to point out that I never made the arguement that lynching me "would be bad for the town" (although it would), and that my absence has been genuine. As for addressing charges placed against me, I'm not certain there really was anything substantial. Ripley random voted me. Patrick voted me because of a comment I made about trusting his decision making (which he overeacted/took the wrong way), and Ernie placed me one from lynch to see if I would get hammered.Ripley wrote: I had some minor reservations about Nightfall before the whole Ernie thing started up (see post 82 for details). Reading through again, I still feel uneasy about him. The almost total lack of content is a problem, but in this particular game it hardly even stands out from everyone else. But I've been in a couple of games lately where a scum about to be lynched started saying "guys this is a terrible mistake if you lynch me it'll be down to lylo tomorrow and you don't want that..." - you know the kind of thing, where they completely avoid addressing any of the charges against them, and I just got that feel from a couple of Nightfall's posts.
