9 to choose the leader.

[Thanatos]

This is an exceptionally busy weekend for me. I'm so sorry it's taking so long to catch up. It's my Birthday today, I go to new york tomorrow, and I have a screen play and paper to finish by the weekend. You caught me at a freak occurance, but I will become active.

[shaft.ed]

Claus thanks for the extra tally work, but I'm only at 4

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

CKD

CKD

there

now let's lynch erg0

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I think this leader choosing exercise is a waste of time.

I want Erg0 blood

BLOOOOOOOOD

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

What leads you to believe weak town players are less likely to make horrible mistakes than weak scum players?

Do you have any statistical evidence supporting this?

[Claus]

... Okay.

CKD is the leader of the candidate group. With great power comes great responsibility and all that. Eventually.

Case 2 has now started, and you may vote each other. The bad doctors must also stop talking outside the thread. With 8 doctors still in the group, it takes 5 votes to convince me to fire one of you.

[Adel]

Fos everyone who posted in other games while not voting for a leader in this game. Does anyone want to do the gruntwork of identifying those players?

vote: Trustgossip

for a lynch.

I'll declare at the outset that I have no evidence on this front. I do not know if weak town are less likely to make mistakes than weak scum. If you have evidence on this, I would love to hear it.

Now, I've botched up newbie lynches in the past (the most recent example which comes to mind for me is Newbie 514 where I, as cop, pushed hard against a newbie who ended up being doc). I've also had successfuly newbie scum lynches (I pegged Korlash correctly in Mini 495).

My view basically is that newbies are more likely to make serious slips than experienced players, but that pro-town newbies will not, ordinarily, commit serious scummy offences. They may slip up from time to time, but if they are genuine they should keep to conduct which is, at the very least, fundamentally consistent.

[TrustGossip]

vote: Trustgossip

for a lynch.

This is a clarification correct? As in "not a wagon, this is not a press for information, I believe this is person is the best lynch for today."

Basically I'm asking if this is another gambit/ploy. But of course, I don't expect to get a straight answer either way. That's generally the reason I don't appreciate gambits all that much.

I am disappointed I have shaken your confidence.

Oh well.

Vote: Pooky

Is it my fault vollkan turned out to be the Kucinich of Day Two?

[Erg0]

I'm disappointed that nobody else voted for Pooky. I'm sure it would have helped his crusade.

[shaft.ed]

OK I don't forsee myself as having much time today. But my suspicions are on TG and pooky at the moment. I'll probably have to wait til tommorow to get a case up.

for now

vote: Pooky

[curiouskarmadog]

ummm, why is pooky scum again?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Cuz I led armlx around on a leash.

Yea. Scum just love to follow each other around on day one.

It's pretty pro play style.

*Sarcasm Off*

No seriously, Armlx rode my coattails day one like Kobe on Shaq, scum do not do that to each other.

Btw Shafted, if you suspect TG, and TG is voting me, why would you vote me?(I know you suspect me, but that other person you suspect has his vote on me, so don't you think it'd be wise to reconsider your position?)

[Adel]

um, because Shaft.ed + TrustGossip = scum group?

[curiouskarmadog]

I thought if anyone was linked to armix it was Adel (in voting patterns anyway).

Adel why shafted, I understand TG.

Ergo, your thoughts on scum?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I need to find a suitable prize for adel now.

What to get crazy psycho buddha....

[Adel]

@ Pooky: I like childern
@ ckd: read pooky's last two posts again. TrustGossip should be our lynch choice for today, but they will try to puch this Pooky wagon as hard as they can in the meantime.

[TrustGossip]

I don't really mind people voting me. It seems a vote requirement must be met for the second phase of day to occur. I'd rather that happen without too much wasted pontification and then CDK can invoke whatever ability or subject of interest that ABR had planned.

Just saying though, doing a re-read, I don't see how you got to the "shaft.ed/TG" scumgroup conjecture.

[curiouskarmadog]

if you are town, and you win if we lynch scum..why are you ok with people voting you?

and I have a feeling if we lynch incorrectly it is my ass on the line, so I would like to do it correctly.

Why are you needlessly conjecturing when it seems wagon number is the trigger for more the interesting and information-filled portion of day?

Also I don't believe a lynch can occur without the diagnostic period coming into effect. It's then the twist will be revealed and hopefully some concrete or close-to-concrete information will offer itself to us.

I am simply offering myself as a convenient way to hasten this process.

I don't believe this action is anti-town.

[Erg0]

Ergo, your thoughts on scum?

I've lost my train of thought a bit (hence my being a smartarse instead of contributing), reread is pending.

how long you want to soak that excuse?

[Erg0]

I seem to remember you using a very similar excuse earlier in this game.
