Mini 546: House Mafia - Game Over

[Adel]

I would be more than happy for the town to all choose between myself and Erg0 for today's lynch.

[Erg0]

I love it when scum mistake me for an easy target! It is probably the most rewarding aspect of my current playstyle. I'm sold on Erg0 being an accurate lynch.

I love when scum attempt to act all nonchalant about my suspicions of them, it shows me that I'm on the right track.

[Erg0]

Adel, why are you so enthusiastic about being lynched? And why are you trying to turn this into a false dilemma?

[Adel]

Because I do not at all suspect that it may be a false dilemma. I'm sold on you being scum, and that there are enough other bright players that your lynch will happen easily.

[Erg0]

A choice between you and me is, by definition, a false dilemma. There is at least one other player (Pooky) that is a viable lynch candidate for today. By placing yourself in direct competition with me you're attempting to force others into taking a narrow view of the situation.

My guess is that you're expecting them to look back at our respective voting records and lynch me based on that - which would explain why you're not giving a case on me. That comment on others' intelligence is exactly the kind of manipulative phrasing that I'm voting you for.

[Adel]

er, no. Vollkan and ckd and shaft.ed and pooky are

bright

. I'm not in a town of morons. I have been before.

That kind of opportunistic recycling of rhetorical rubbish is another great reason to vote for you.

[Erg0]

You might want to justify that statement a little rather than just throwing it out there and hoping that nobody notices that it doesn't make any sense.

[Adel]

have you ever been this combative as town before?

[Erg0]

Yup. Plenty of times.

[shaft.ed]

eh, I have pooky in the same category as Anix: damned annoying lurkers who intentionally avoid anything that might somehow indicate their alignment. I consider their lynch to be equivalent to throwing the dice for a lynch.

I thought you hated lurkers? I haven't played with pooky before, or Anix at all, but I am a bit surprised by this stance.

[Adel]

hating them and lynching them are two separate things. I've never (in a completed game) lynched someone for lurking.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

my thoughts are that we will probably find the last scum on the attempted Shafted Wagon.

Erg0 is a fine start.

vote Erg0

@Adel and shaft.ed: What are your thoughts on waiting for the twist?

Who's your second option? Based on that logic I'd have to assume it's Adel.

@Adel and shaft.ed: What are your thoughts on waiting for the twist?

I'm trying to weigh the balance of a 7:3 nightless where the scum don't have to reach majority or tie. It sounds like it would favor scum so the twists would be mostly pro-town or just for interest.

The first twist could go either way, second was decidedly pro-town, third would likely have been anti-town if Near didn't ended up on the chopping block.

I think I agree with Erg0's sentiment though. It seems rash to self impose deadlines to specifically avoid a twist. I say play as normal. If a lynch comes it comes, but I certainly don't think rushing is in our best interest.

[Erg0]

Adel's dropped into meta discussions, I see, once again deftly avoiding responding to the content of my posts whilst deferring to an argument regarding the tone.

In case anyone missed it, I believe I'm currently at lynch-1.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I do not have a second option

I believe we will kill you and then celebrate our victory with much champagne

[Erg0]

That's not helpful. It's high time you actually started sharing your opinions with the rest of us, beyond "that one guy's scum".

Also, this doesn't fit with your earlier statement that you think the scum was on the shaft.ed wagon. It was only me, Adel and Near on that wagon, so if you meant what you said then you'd have some inclination towards lynching Adel if/when I'm lynched as town. You obviously have other motives, and you need to state what they are. Letting a lynch go through with such a poor standard of discussion would hurt the town massively in tomorrow's post-mortem.

[Adel]

I think we may want to beat the twist. We have this one in the bag, I'd rather avoid the result of dice.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I would imagine if I were a scumbag and there was a timer on my buddy's life, I'd try to get a mislynch to save his ass.

Nobody else's really tried to save Near's ass from being fried by a twist. So yea I think you're scum.

[Erg0]

I admire your persistence, if not your transparency.

You still didn't answer my question. Who is your second option? This is going to be important tomorrow if you lynch me today.

I mean, it's not like I'm trying to get you lynched here. Why are you so reluctant to answer me? Are you

that

sure that you're right?

Incidentally, the above post was aimed at Adel.

I suggest you reread the events of that deadline. I fail to see how Adel and CKD are not included in your logical flow.

[Erg0]

I was coming back to make that point - Adel and ckd both made a good attempt at getting me lynched in opposition to Near. You'll note that Adel was on

both

of the wagons that were attempting to save Near.
