Six. Still.

[Johnny, Combo Player]

What do you think it is, Fuldu?

[inHimshallibe]

Why does it matter? Are we going to play 20 questions? Just tell us if you want Fuldu to guess.

[Johnny, Combo Player]

If he guesses right, I say he's right. If not, then I reveal it. I just want to see what he thinks first.

[inHimshallibe]

::smacks forehead::

[Fuldu]

Uh-uh. If you're making up a claim, having me hand you one that at least I find believable is totally outside the bounds of what I'm willing to do.

[WindSlicer]

unvote:Fuldu

Just had to make sure ya were still alive

vote:Johnny

Pressure applied.

unvote:Johnny

So no speedlynches ensue, I will place my vote back when I deem that Johnny has done all he can to prove himself innocent.

[Johnny, Combo Player]

Very well. I am John Anderton, a PO. I can investigate one person each night, and am given their role. I investigated rajrhcpfreak night one, not that I can prove anything. This will lead to a mass voting on me, and I die. Or, I die by mafia tonight. Either way, I'm screwed. See why I didn't want to roleclaim now?

[Talitha]

Did you get sent a result for night one?

[Talitha]

I'm tending towards believing Johnny, so

unvote: inHim, vote: Astronaut

I think Astro may have slipped up when he made the comment about it being more fun to lynch someone when you know their name. When I called him on it he basically said he

did

think Johnny was scum, and thus he wanted him to claim. But if his statement was a serious one (which he hasnt denied) then it implied he didn't believe Johnny to be scum.

He's also been kinda coy in stating exactly what he's thinking.

I think it's the best evidence there is right now anyway.

[Phoebus]

I'd be willing to lynch Astro.
He's set off a buzzer earlier...

[inHimshallibe]

Unvote

- wow, I really didn't see that claim coming until you made it, Johnny.

Hmmm... this Day has taken awhile. I think right now it either falls to Astronaut or DP (let's shamelessly bandwagon the shameless bandwagoner, no?). I'll cast a vote by tonight.

[Phoebus]

unvote: WS; vote: Astro

[Dragon Phoenix]

I'm buying the claim. I'm not buying the half-hearted attempt by inhim.

Unvote Johnny, Combo Player
Vote inhimshallibe

[Johnny, Combo Player]

See? Now the mafia kills me. Either way, I'm screwed now. Tried warning you though, so it's your fault.

[Fuldu]

I believe the claim as well. Given that it was what I had expected (role-wise - I hadn't really thought about role name), I'm a little surprised at inHim's shock, but I don't think it seems scummy. I don't really like the approach DP is taking in response, either, but still don't know that I find it scummy. I think Talitha's "evidence" against Astronaut is sort of weird. Certainly I can't think of why Astronaut would say something like that, but that holds whether he's town or scum. It was just a strange comment. Her determination that Astronaut is therefore more likely to be scum seems forced, to me, especially when she then admits

unvote: Johnny, Combo Player; vote: Talitha

[inHimshallibe]

Half-hearted attempt at what? Trying to get Johnny lynched? I'd say I was fairly adamant. And now I'm wrong. Unless you mean I was half-hearted at something else.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Classic. Trying to shift a bandwagon to one or two players without climbing on it (last sentence).

[Dragon Phoenix]

Oh, and as I apparently need to dot the eyes and cross the teeth (yes, I know that's not the original, but I like this one better): my "halfhearted" refers to the kast sentence as well.

[Astronaut]

My comment about wanting to know Johnny's name before he's lynched was not in any way a slip-up. I thought I explained this before, but I'll gladly do it again: What I was saying was that I don't think anyone should be lynched without given the opportunity to claim. Johnny did just that, and although I'm not 100% convinced by it, I'm willing to keep him alive rather than risk losing a power role.

My Seol vote didn't exactly do much other than attract attention to myself, so in an attempt to save my own hide, it's back to my original bandwagon.

unvote: Seol, vote: inHimshallibe

I thought you would be familiar with the relevant Jeep tell (when someone says that a player is town without saying "if"). The reason I am a little hesitant is

because

it was a "strange comment" it makes me wonder if I'm mis-interpreting. But Astronaut's subsequent posts have made me comfortable to keep my vote on him.

[inHimshallibe]

Actually, I'm branching out here -

vote: halfpint

. She has really flown below the radar.

Nope, I'm right here, and have been active this whole time.

Like I said earlier, I'm having a hard time trying to go through and determine who I found scummy. The only person that I think I have a read on is inHim -- he definitely seems pro-town to me.

I was thinking early on about Johnny, but I couldn't really figure out if he was being scummy or just being a newbie.

Hmm - I did not realize that this was a Jeep tell ... I tried to get to the wiki page to look, but I think it's down to the move? Anyway, I didn't find anything wrong with his comment, but this is an interesting thing you bring up.

[inHimshallibe]

Yes! First September post!

I didn't mean lurking when I said flying under the radar. I meant not having been called to much attention yet. Mafia prefer to contribute, but lay low while doing so.

[Phoebus]

Interesting enough that in my last and only game with halfpint, she was town and quite active through inHim's definition.
Now she IS flying low. Not having played any games with her since, I'm not acting on anything yet.

Rather lynch Astro.
