Mini 485: Formula One (Game Over)

[SirWario]

Good post, Zindy.

Right now I feel that Polter should have a chance to claim before he is lynched. Hopefully, the deadline can be pushed back in light of Polter's absence.

I really don't like Roach's obstinate refusal to give us some analysis. Seems like he's just trying to survive the day. This, coupled with deadscilent's lurking, only increases my suspicions of Roach.

[pulsewidth]

I'm going to have to agree somewhat with Zindaras. While I do think Polter is scummy, there is the possibility that he is townie playing very badly. I don't like the last two votes on him for the following reasons:

I'd rather see DeathSauce get lynched (even though it was through no actions of his own), but I'd rather have a Polter lynch over no lynch at all.

We would still have a lynch in the event of a tie, but I will concede that perhaps CO wasn't aware of this.

DeathSauce/ojpower on the other hand:

I am firm with my vote on Discodancer Algoreism.

Whoa, I must have missed that we are under a deadline!

unvote, vote:Polter

Horrible reason to jump on the Polter bandwagon. It's the way he went from being "firm" with his vote on DA and then as soon as CO puts a majority on Polter with his vote, he suddenly switches his vote. I think DS is going for another easy lynch here, much like his predecessor.

unvote, Vote: DeathSauce

Also,

FoS

Roach for subbing in and then throwing idiotic votes around and not contributing.

The reason I switched my vote to Polter is that I had missed the fact that we were under a deadline. Polter and I had the same number of votes, so in an effort to save my own skin before the deadline I switched my vote to him. Since I am town and I have already stated that I believe he and discordian are scum, it seemed the logical pro-town (and admittedly pro-DeathSauce) move to make.

[Zindaras]

I think ChaosOmega's vote here is far scummier than DeathSauce's. I can live with DeathSauce's argument. Self-preservation is natural.

[pulsewidth]

Actually, CO had unvoted you and put his vote on Polter about 2 hours before you switched your vote. Polter already had more votes than you when you switched your vote.

Vote Count:

Polter - 3 (SirWario, ChaosOmega, DeathSauce)
DeathSauce - 3 (discordian algorithm, Zindaras, pulsewidth)
discordian algorithm - 1 (KaleiÐoscøpe)
pulsewidth - 1 (IH)
KaleiÐoscøpe - 1 (Roach)

Not voting (1): Polter

6 to lynch.

Roughly... 45 minutes (I think) to deadline. I am considering a deadline extension so that Polter has a chance to post before the day is over. I'll make the decision soon.

[Zindaras]

Well, we need one more vote to even secure a lynch, so Polter's not in trouble right now...

[DeathSauce]

Yeah I noticed that about 10 minutes after I posted the above. Obviously I need to read a little more closely. Anyway the point is the same.

[DeathSauce]

EBWOP: that was directed at pulsewidth

[Zindaras]

I'm going to think long and hard if I like No Lynch or a Polter lynch less, then come back to vote (or keep the one I have now).

[Zindaras]

EBWOP: A DeathSauce lynch would still be preferred, so I'm keeping my vote on him for now.

[pulsewidth]

Actually Zindaras,

In case of a tie the first person to reach that number of votes is lynched.

So, even though there is a tie, Polter will still get lynched at the deadline.

[Zindaras]

No, we need at least 4 votes to get a lynch at all (see the deadline rules JDodge posted last page).

[pulsewidth]

I *was* quoting the deadline rules that JDodge posted last page. I will post them again:

Whomever has a majority, as long as it is more than half of the number of votes needed to lynch (currently 4).

In case of a tie the first person to reach that number of votes is lynched.

Note the bolded. If there is a tie, which there is right now, then the first person to reach that number votes (Polter) will be lynched. At least, that's how it reads to me. Or is it that the tie would have to be at 4 votes? Mod, can you please clarify?

[Zindaras]

The tie would have to be at 4 votes, as far as I understand.

I think the unclear deadline rules warrant an extension.

*is good at wheedling extensions out of mods* >.>

You need to get at least 4.

In other news, the deadline is extended to 11:26 AM EDT on August 31st.

[SirWario]

Ok now we have a little more time. I'm eager to hear that "imput" from Roach now with the extention. He can no longer give the excuse to wait until day 3.

All we have to wait for now is Polter's defense.

[Roach]

I'm still a little behind, so bear with me.

[SirWario]

You have 3 days now to do a re-read. So no rush at the moment.

[ChaosOmega]

I think ChaosOmega's vote here is far scummier than DeathSauce's. I can live with DeathSauce's argument. Self-preservation is natural.

If anything, DeathSauce's vote is scummier. I move my vote to make sure a no-lynch occurs. I would much rather have DeathSauce lynched, but I'll take Polter over no one. Right after he sees there's backing for someone else to get lynched, he moves his vote to it. His argument boils down to:

Polter and I had the same number of votes, so in an effort to save my own skin before the deadline I switched my vote to him.

But when you voted, it wasn't the same number of votes. I voted about 2 hours beforehand.

vote: Deathsauce

I can get back to voting my #1 suspect. Also, as soon as you replaced into the game, you made a forceful attack on someone whom at the time was under scrutiny. It looked like you were just trying to push the focus on someone already under attack.

[IH]

oh my gosh. I had no idea we almost nolynched. X_X

unvote, vote:Polter

to make sure we have a lynch.

[Zindaras]

We have more than 2 days left to do some scumhunting. This is not an acceptable vote, IH.

[DeathSauce]

ut when you voted, it wasn't the same number of votes. I voted about 2 hours beforehand.

Yes, I recognize that now, as I explained to pulsewidth. I missed that on my re-read, just as I missed that we were on a deadline. Obviously my reading comprehension leaves something to be desired.

[IH]

Oh shiz, I misread that votecount, for some reason I thought Polter was the only one with three....

unvote, vote:Deathsauce

as I would much prefer an OJ replacement lynch, I also thought that Chaos had just moved his vote from the only person that was near deadline lynch....

Also I will try to post something more significant than the above, as I feel it's pretty lame

[Roach]

Oi...things are getting out of hand...
