It is day 5. Town is in Mylo. With 4 alive, it takes 3 to lynch. Day ends on Friday September 13 at 3:00pm EST or when a majority is reached. Countdown: (expired on 2013-09-13 15:00:00)

[BoroPhil]

in case that gets lost on the last page. Jen - why would you expect that?

I suppose we'll have to wait a few days for an answer.

[ChannelDelibird]

Sod it. I'd end up here anyway.

UNVOTE: No Lynch
VOTE: Jennifer

[BoroPhil]

Ofc if you were the wolf, you could easily make a case against Jen. In fact, I'm sure anyone could make a case about anyone at this stage based on a selection of posts. But would you have picked Jen? I actually think Stubbs or maybe even myself might have been more obvious targets.

I was pretty sure slimer wasn't the wolf, although that was mainly based on the linxie-robo interaction (which could have been distancing)

I guess we just have to go with gut feelings at this stage.

We should still no-lynch. I doubt I'd be engaging in any discussion tomorrow and while 1 more NK won't change anything, it still seems the sensible action. Obviously, if Jen wasn't the wolf she wouldn't be NKed now but for some/all of us, our 2nd candidate might get removed, making the decision slightly easier.

But would it add more doubt? and is CDB being too keen? Coming in and providing this brilliant case, is it too convenient? Clearly an experienced player, so could easily be capable of it.

Possibly, but making a case and other people believing it are different things. Don't doubt it "because scum could fake it", doubt it if there's reason to think it faked.

There's no reason for me not to be this keen. I replaced into a 50-page MyLo, it would be irresponsible of me not to put the requisite effort in. I'd obviously do it as town and I'd attempt to imitate it as scum - the difference being, if I were scum, I'd have to be faking reasons to be suspicious of Jen. So if you think my reasons hold true as part of a clear thinking process, there's no reason to think me scum.

[BoroPhil]

yeah, and you pretty much managed to sum up exactly what I was thinking about Jen, so if it is a fake, it's an excellent one.

Jen - ball is in your court as far as I'm concerned

[Jennifer]

Phil, you have a tendency to be pretty emotional/attack or suspect everyone throughout this game at the turn of a dime, so, yeah... not surprised.

Haven't heard from Stubbs yet. I'd like his response to my question of why the snark re 'acting' and then I think we should no lynch and plan tomorrow.

CDB's vote on me just consolidated my scum read though.. that he would risk losing the game by voting today instead of tomorrow is irresponsible and BAD because killing me WILL result in us losing the game, and there is no way wolf should be able to win this at this point, especially as we got his partner Day 1.

[ChannelDelibird]

Jennifer, my voting you today only makes a difference if there were any chance of you being nightkilled after a no-lynch, which I don't think is very likely, do you? If both of us were alive tomorrow there's a strong chance I'd be voting you anyway based on the reasons I've detailed.

A no-lynch works well enough, and I'll go along with it if it happens but I feel pretty confident that we'll win if we lynch you today.

Getting rid of robo so early actually left the lone wolf in an incredibly strong position, which is why darthe should never have come out so soon. Interactions between robo and anyone else are thin on the ground as a result.

It does make sense then that the last wolf would basically drift through the game contributing very little which sums you up perfectly although slimer and stubbs to a lesser extent haven't exactly been prolific.

[StubbsKVM]

My "quiet" play of late is solely correlated with how much work has consumed me of late and has nothing to do with anything going on in this website let alone my alignment in this game.

Boro jumping to agree with CDB I'd expect, but not from Stubbs. Why the snarky question?

I simply said CDB did a great job catching up and his case on you looks pretty good.

If they both think you're the wolf, it makes me doubt my own read. Which is why I want you to react to it.

[StubbsKVM]

CDB pretty much gave himself no way out of voting anyone but you. I don't think he would have done that if he was indeed the wolf.

I also think the nightkill points more in your direction.

Ughhhhh I'm so damn torn it hurts. I guess I'm okay with either one. We are allowed one mislynch, I'm sure Jennifer/Stubbs has a wolf in it, and that any flip from one will let us get the other.

Things have changed because now we have 2 mafia flips we weren't able to talk about until now. Both of which happened to be right.

And if Boro's mafia, I'm going to hate myself. Like. Forever.

If CDB was the wolf, he would have kept DBK alive if he wanted to lynch you.

[StubbsKVM]

This also pretty much rules out Phil, because DBK seemed to have given up on wanting him dead.

Well, there's a pretty large amount of wine to go with those assumptions, but still.

[BoroPhil]

I think what has most impressed me about Jen today is here ability to form a case on someone else, giving us an alternative to herself

(if you are still reading DBK - that was a joke)

[StubbsKVM]

Don't forget the ability to defend against accusations.

[StubbsKVM]

Prod on Jennifer?

[Bulbazak]

Prodding Jennifer.

[ChannelDelibird]

/prod-dodge

Yeah, so I want to lynch Jennifer today or no-lynch and then lynch her tomorrow. Let me know when we can get on with either of those things.

[BoroPhil]

we'll end up in this place regardless.

VOTE: jennifer

[BoroPhil]

UNVOTE:

then again

[Bulbazak]

Looking for a replacement for Jennifer.

[ChannelDelibird]

Guys, do we really have to make another replacement read through 52 pages? Can we not just end this?

[ChannelDelibird]

Flaking out in LyLo is much more likely to happen as scum than town, btw. I've done it.

[StubbsKVM]

So has slimer.

She appears to have siteflaked, so I don't really want to hammer yet.

[BoroPhil]

Might as well play this out

[Bulbazak]

Maybe it's because the story didn't follow the typical pattern of the Mowgli tales. It's different, and that's what made it endearing.
