Azkar - Hasn't posted in a while, I don't know what to think about him
Fircoal - Doesn't feel very suspicious.
Seol - Somehow, he feels more like a machine than a human. I don't know how to describe it.
Theopor_COD - He feels suspicious. A few page ago, he reacted very strongly to me saying i wanted to vote him, but he does not seem as suspicious as before.
Thesp - Don't know what to think.
VitaminR - He still feels suspicious.

My suspicion list right now is:

What caused this change in your suspicions about Fircoal, Avinyl? You didn't post anything to indicate a reason to no longer be suspicious of him...

This is something interesting to note, a small scumtell of sorts.

Of the five players that made suspicion lists throughout the game so far, notice that only Fircoal and Avinyl, two of our suspects for scum, listed themselves on their own list. This could possibly come from a subconscious need to assert one's protownness, which is a trap that scum sometimes fall into. Out of a feeling of guilt, scum tend to want to repeat the fact that they are protown, and I've noticed that especially in lists such as these, scum are far more likely to list themselves, in order to make them seem less suspicious through subliminal messaging.

A twist on an old joke- 1 out of every three people are scummy...look left, look right...if you didn't see a scummy person it's you :P

Just flat out- we need to hear more from you, Avinyl. You've got less than one post per page in a 13 page game.
Gorckat, can you explain that statement? I don't see how your little "joke" was relevant to what you quoted from Avinyl.

Also, can you explain why, out of all the posts you've made in this thread, you've only mentioned Avinyl twice? It's almost as if you're avoiding talking about him.

Sure- I forget who told the original joke (Steve Martin, maybe?) but it was bascially one out of every three people are ugly- look at the person to your left and the one to your right- if you don't see an ugly person, it's you!

Avi was saying no one seemed really scummy and "...i just can't come up with anything to say." I tried to prod him into opening up- he really shouldn't have had to "come up" with anything if he had nothing to hide. If he couldn't "come up" with anything, maybe he was the scum- which has, in fact, proved true.

As far as mentioning him, I often abbreviate names, so if you CTRL+F my posts for Avi and and not Avinyl, you'll see I've actually talked about him quite a lot the last two game days. Day 1 he had virtually nothing to comment on, so saying I avoided him is overlooking that he avoided us.

So we got

Gorckat 2 - Fircoal, Avinyl
Fircoal 1 - Gorckat
Avinyl 1 - Mastermind

My head say's one thing, my heart say's another and a voice from the dead is saying another.

At least everyone thinks I'm a townie :)

Give me a few hours.

Sod it longer I think worse it will be.

Dead Townies
Vitamin - for Fircoal, Avinyl - against Gorckat, MoS

Thesp - for Gorckat - against Fircoal, slightly against MoS

I can see an MoS/Gorckat partnership, Fircoal and Avinyl seems less likely, Gorckat/Avinyl even more so but still I guess possible.
Mind if Soel/MoS was scum why didn't he hammer me when he had the chance mind same argument applies to Avinyl, I wasn't half playing scummy so he could have hammered and escaped a lynch I think.
My main argument against Fircoal applies to Azkar/Gorckat.
Then we got Gorckat coming straight out accusing Fircoal off scum, why investigate Fircoal and then Avinyl counterclaims, for some reason I don't understand why both "supposed" cops would investigate Fircoal, Gorckat's second investigation is pretty convienent I'd have liked him to have investigated me or MoS. Avinyl's makes sense in a way mind if he's scum he knows everyone's alignment.
As for Vitamin's killing - I can see arguments for both Gorckat and Fircoal ordering the hit, mind I think as a newb Fircoal would prefer someone who thought he was town still alive. Gorckat if he's with MoS would probably have to had made the hit on his own and I reckon prob thought of Vitamin as the biggest threat, which probably answers why when he first appeared he attacked VR straight off.

I do hope I don't regret this . . .

Vote Gorckat


And if he's mafia which I'm 80% on (good enough I think, the longer I think the more I'll change my mind) then MoS is his partner.

If I'm wrong apologies to the town and well played scum, fingers crossed eh.

I cannot see Avinyl counter-claiming Gorckat as scum partner. I'm pretty certain MoS/Soel is the other scum. As such . . .

Generally, I'd not agree with this...but MoS is one of the few who
might
have been able to pull this off. So -- way to go.

Woohoo!

Looks like I was entirely right about Seol, and very wrong about Avinyl/gorckat. (I was watching after I died, watching all MoS's posts, thinking,
MoS is sooooooo scum!
I'm glad the town pulled it off. Nicely done, everybody, with particular props to theopor_COD and VitaminR. Good game!

Yay!

Well-done, theopor. Was I "the voice from the dead"?

When I saw gorckat claim cop, I actually thought "there'd better be a real cop in the game, I don't want to lose this."

I really enjoyed this game.
