Mini 546: House Mafia - Game Over

[Albert B. Rampage]

No posting means deadline coming.

[armlx]

Damn it, had long post typed out and then accidentally refreshed page.

To sum it up:

Shaft.ed is less scummy now that I look at his posts separately from everyone elses. They just seems awkwardly placed earlier, which could just be a avaliability time issue.

I stick by my early read on volkan being town for the same reasons. For I second I thought maybe he was distancing from Pooky, but then when I went back to check for lynch rules in the first posts I realized it didnt explicitly say anywhere the bad docs could converse outside the thread.

CKD's reaction to one vote was was out of proportion.

JiveMachine is doing the same BS. If it comes down to it I'ld rather lynch him than a random.

Adel keeps changing up styles, which is pro-town if I remember old games involving Fritzler and sometimes Pooky, but the wagon trailing i noticed early is kinda sketchy. Third highest scum on list behind CKD and Jive (not sure on those order).

LU:

Pooky I'ld want to wait 1-2 more days before passing definite judgment. Seems productive but aggressive.

Dean needs to post. What I said about Jive applies here, though Dean hasn't done as much sniping from his lurker hole.

TG seems town based on post style and progressively informed actions.

Ergo needs to post again. See what I said about Dean.

I'm holding my vote until absolutely necessary so we can get more discussion, but if I had to vote right now I'ld say TJM, but with more discussion I'm fairly sure CKD can move on up the list. As for LU, I obviously can't comment on me, but among the others I'ld rather vote Ergo or Dean than random deadline lynch.

[TrustGossip]

I don't really understand what Erg0 is doing. I have a feeling Dean has totally flaked but the only thing from Erg0 I've seen is his suspicion of Dean like 8 pages ago.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Armlx=total scum.

[TrustGossip]

For once I tend to agree with Pooky.

His post feels a little barnacle-y, in addition he was barnacle-y to Adel's playstyle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't two barnacles make a scum?

Unvote

Heavy FOS: armix

As in, once I hear an update on all the lurkers and if they aren't horrendously suspicious...

*bang*

[Albert B. Rampage]

Several issues have been raised in real life that I have to refocus my time on in the next month(s), and so I will be unable to continue modding this game. I cannot put the entire responsibility of this game on Claus, and that's why I need you all to try and find another co-mod to which I will send the setup. Failing that, I will have to declare this game abandoned. I'm sorry about these circumstances.

[armlx]

I'ld be willing to sub in as mod assuming there wasn't some rule about conflicts of interest and what not. I'm fairly sure I won't need a replacement at this rate.

[curiouskarmadog]

well that was a waste.

[Erg0]

Sorry, I've been moving house and had almost no access for the last week or so (see sig). I'm back now and will keep going with this if it's continuing.

[Adel]

vote: if no new mod appears within 96 hours (four days) of ABR's last post, we abandon

[TrustGossip]

Second

, unfortunately.

[armlx]

I guess I agree with that. Unfortunate. Nightless games are really interesting.

[Albert B. Rampage]

Claus takes over until further notice. All your questions and requests will be referred to him from now on.

[shaft.ed]

Welp after staying the night in Atlanta because Delta doesn't know how to run their crap ontime, I'm back.

Looks like it won't matter very much however. I personally wouldn't mind waiting a bit for a replacement mod as a the main reason I signed up for this game was the player list (and Adel was a nice added bonus) but I'll go along with the 96 hours if everyone wants it that way. Really what else can I do play all by myself?

[TrustGossip]

Unsecond

This is actually a really fun game with perhaps the most productive discussion of any game I've been in, so I don't care waiting more than 96 hours.

You guys rock

[Adel]

does that mean we can lynch armix now?

[shaft.ed]

Cool simulposting with Mod continuation, thanks Cluas!

I'll get my opinions on the NLU lynch up tommorow morning most likely.

[vollkan]

Thanks Claus.

I hope this game continues. It's been great fun so far.

[Claus]

Hello folks!

That's right. Until the hospital administration says otherwise, I'll be running this interview process in ABR/House's place. Now go on and tell me who of the opposing team needs to be fired. Here is a vote count to kick things back on track:

[curiouskarmadog]

thanks for your time Claus

[armlx]

And so spoke the prophet Jagger "If you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need".

[curiouskarmadog]

if I wasnt so sure you were scum, I just might unvote after that.

[armlx]

Just what makes you so sure? I'm actually 90% sure you have posted no more reason than your "hunch", unless I missed it.

[shaft.ed]

Still not totally caught up. I really didn't like the accusations against vollkan. To me his play on TJM was very similar to his normal playstyle, I don't see anything scummy there, and I think his attackers may have been hoping to take out a strong scum hunter where they control a large fraction of the votes and may be able to tip his lynching. I really didn't like the begining of Pooky's argument.

I have a gut feeling about Volkan, I could be uttterly utterly utterly wrong.

This reads to me like a weak case with a lot lot lot of ass covering.

2) Volkan's list only includes the 5 people he can vote for, if he did do a full reread, why would he not also post his thoughts on the candidates on his side as well? If he is intent on hunting scum, shouldn't he give us a fair assessment of the candidates on his side of the aisle in order to aid our efforts in hunting scum?

Hmm.. so the guy that made any list is scummy, but the person painting the guy as scum for making a partial hasn't himself done anything but make statements like "X is obvscum." If pooky truly believed this he also would have noted the other players only making partial lists. This information was not included with the attack.

I also find his attacking Vollkan for using numbers to be garbage. I've seen many players use such a system. In fact where was pooky when armlx used numbers early in the day? Twice while vollkan was town with me they were very useful for catching scum because it forced everyone on record as to who they thought was scummy or townie.

Here CKD points out another example of Pooky's logic cutting in both directions:

So basically you are just making offhanded remarks here while skating by on the down-low.

I might consider lynching you but I haven't ever lynched Volky and he seems to be a lot more fun to tangle with because he responds in such wonderful prose when attacked.

ah, so you want to lynch someone who you claim posts more versus someone who as you say is skating by and not posting...so you are condemning we for not providing content, but at the same time want to lynch someone who is..I am confused.

Also not liking most of armlx's recent postings. I haven't got the time right now to analyze him, but I should be able to this afternoon.

Summary I would like to lynch pooky or armlx but haven't completely finished reading armlx yet will decided today or tommorow.


Side notes:
Not liking Adel accusing vollkan of being "scummier than pooky" for his TJM stance as Adel was the originator of the wagon and Pooky was also a part of the voting block.

TG is looking very much like a lemming. He has a few times now posted that he is loving someones posting or their logic and his target has jumped around a bit including myself Adel and pooky at times, possibly others. Don't know if being an ass kisser makes you scum though

[curiouskarmadog]

Just what makes you so sure? I'm actually 90% sure you have posted no more reason than your "hunch", unless I missed it.

you havent, this game is in line to do a PbP, however, there are two games in front of this one that I either promised a read (because I replaced in) or a reread..I will get to it when I can...
