[distad]

Since nobody else asked...

Glork:

why

is BMQ a bad lynch today?

Distad, you've voted for four different people already today, and actually went from voting Simenon (for wagoning Flay) to jumping onto the next wagon he started. It looks like you just found a wagon that you thought might have legs, so you jumped on it without going through the intervening phase of concluding that Sim wasn't scum. I think you want to just get any lynch you can.

FoS: Distad

I haven't concluded that Sim isn't scum. After he posted/voted, he left the burden of research on us. So, I reread the game and saw several points (not his) that I felt were vote-worthy, so I acted on it.

Of course I want a lynch. It's still Day 1 and we're spinning in circles right now. I'm not TRYING to follow wagons. Sometimes it ends up looking like that, though.

[Simenon]

I'll be willing to compromise for the sake of the deadline.

Unvote
Vote Mr Flay

reasons should be obvious.

[VitaminR]

Where's CES in all of this?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Sssh!

Simenon, that's a useless compromise vote. Get back on the BMQ-wagon.

Unvote, vote: BMQ

Glrok still seems off.

VitaminR seems on. Yay for bad puns!

[Erg0]

That's a really strange moment for Simenon to switch wagons. If anything I would have thought that the BMQ wagon has more momentum than the Flay wagon right now (even before CES's vote), so I'm not sure how Flay became the compromise candidate in Sim's eyes.

[Mr. Flay]

Unfortunately, the other leading candidate doesn't strike me as scummy, so I'm not switching to BMQ. Anyone I've voted for today is fair-game, though, as are my own voters. I think this whole 'case" has been built out of utter straw, and scum are going to get through on a deadline because people can't be arsed.

[Erg0]

I'd be ok with voting for BMQ (obv), distad, or maybe Xdaamno today. I'm not really seeing the Flay thing at all. Sim kind of pinged my scumdar with that switch, but I've generally been ok with him today. If BMQ comes up scum he's in some trouble, though.

I'm concerned that we still have one player (Nocmen) who's hardly posted since day 1 started, especially since this could be a very close vote at deadline. I'm equally concerned that nobody has so much as mentioned him since day 1 began. I really don't want the lynch to swing on his vote, it'll lead to one hell of a WIFOM situation tomorrow if we lynch a townie.

[Simenon]

Sim kind of pinged my scumdar with that switch, but I've generally been ok with him today.

Attempting to get a lynch through deadline pings your scumdar?

I'll switch back to BMQ if that will be our lynch today. I would love lynching either Flay or BMQ to be honest.

[Xdaamno]

The deadline is in 2 days. The flay wagon looks very shaky/circumstantial compared to the BMQ wagon (As I said, the BMQ wagon already looks iffy so it's relative), so BMQ would be a more solid lynch IMO. No deadline at all would be preferrable, since I wouldn't place a bet on any player being scum at the moment.

[Xdaamno]

EBWOP: Also, erg0, what makes you comfortable with my lynch? I haven't heard anything about that before

[Simenon]

I think now is the time to say what person looks good, xd.

[Simenon]

That post is ambiguous. I mean, now is the time to say what person looks scummy.

[Erg0]

Sim: As I said above, I really felt like the BMQ wagon had more momentum than the Flay wagon, so I didn't see the reason for your switch.

Xdaamno: That's why you're third on the list, with a "maybe" in front. I don't want to lynch you with a passion that burns like the fire of a thousand suns, but I just haven't really liked your play today all that much so you're above the players that I've found more pro-town.

[Mr Stoofer]

24 hours, 24 minutes until deadline!

[Erg0]

After some re-reading and some soul searching, I've reached the conclusion that I don't want to lynch BMQ. I had enough against him for a vote, but I agree with Flay that there's not enough evidence that I'm happy with a lynch. I'm particularly wary of being on the same wagon as my next suspect, distad.

Unvote, Vote: distad

In addition to the hoppiness I noted earlier, I came across this little gem from day 0 while re-reading a moment ago:

Further, I'd be willing to bet that we DO have a vig in here. Stoof made a point of clarifying the rule that all power roles have to send in a list *unless otherwise specified in the role PM*. There probably is that provision in the vig's pm.

If that's not an SK breadcrumbing for a vig claim then I'm not here...

[Simenon]

Wow, that vote isn't productive.

You're asking us for five of us to change our minds and vote distad in less than twenty-four hours.

Also, I disagree that BMQ obviously had more momentum than Flay. More votes, maybe, but I felt ew had a better chance at lynching flay.

[distad]

That was on D0 when we were all trying to figure out who the "non-methodical" person would be. It was promptly dismissed.

That's hardly even in the top 10 "more egregious" posts in the whole game.

I guess you're not here.

What? You're not going to bless us with more rhetoric?

[Xdaamno]

I think now is the time to say what person looks scummy, xd.

...?

[Mr. Flay]

People I've voted for are on each of the top three votes, which doesn't make me happy. But Glork is the least egregious of the three, and distad's third post strikes me way scummy:

Yeah, Flay... I have some thoughts.

I think that we're all just playing with ourselves here. I don't think that any of this is needed. The scum are going to come up with their lists, and a lot of that will probably be random.

The doc will come up with a list, again, probably just random. The cop will come up with a list, again, more or less just random.

Further, I'd be willing to bet that we DO have a vig in here. Stoof made a point of clarifying the rule that all power roles have to send in a list *unless otherwise specified in the role PM*. There probably is that provision in the vig's pm.

At this point, I think that we should just crack open a beer, sit back, get to Night, and then get our game on.

Emphasis added, obviously.

Unvote, Vote: distad

- that's three. I suggest you claim soonest, and if you're town, give thoughts on everyone still alive.

[distad]

<sigh>

Fine.

I'm a cop. I know I'll get night-killed now because of it, but I'm a

second

cop. Flay was my Night 0 choice, and came back innocent/not cult. Conveniently, Glork was going to be my Night 1 choice.

There.

Looks like you missed *REALLY* big Erg0.

[distad]

Oh, and for the second part of your request, Flay--

It would seem prudent to look at Glork and Simenon because they have been awfully terse with their posts -- almost to the point where they're afriad to say even an additional word.
