Note: I've tried to divide things up some to make it easier to read. Notepad can get screwy with line breaks; I've tried to remove extra line breaks, and my apologies if I missed any.
Bookwyrm627: It seems like a good spot to park it while I plow through the thread. I didn't find Ix's behavior particularly town while I was surface reading, and I'm willing to add to
certain existing wagons while I go back through Day 1.
yogsloth: So Wyrm makes it clear he’s willing to push existing wagons to see what will roll. He “parks” his vote on Ix… but never removes it because later on mchack, Krypsyn, and Vitek all add on to it and suddenly he’s on the largest wagon.
Your turn for a Misinterpretation Correction. Please review the now bolded word in the quote of me. I was willing to push some of the existing wagons, but not all of them. You ignore how Adalia's wagon may have been able to roll, but I voted Ix even though Adalia's wagon STILL had more votes AFTER I added mine to Ix. A Quad Vote Count is two posts down from my Ix vote.
Later in the day, I found Ix's arguments rather less than compelling, and my vote on him solidified. Even Trent's
inspired defense of Ix didn't persuade me, I'm afraid.
As for the "sudden" extra votes: mchack joined a day after I did, Krypsyn joined 3 days after I did, and Vitek (apparently tired of Ix's struggles) joined shortly after Krypsyn.
yogsloth: And that’s when he got to work:
You are complaining that I "got to work", rather than
bailing out,
going to sleep, or
spinning in circles? Why yes, I did decide not to sit around staring at everyone else while we waited.

Bookwyrm627: While it is technically possible he could be a
Jester, I find it unlikely.
The problem with his self-voting is that it takes very abnormal circumstances to be a town move; maybe if he knew that someone else was a really powerful role and both he and the power role were one vote away from lynch.
yogsloth: Bookwyrm627: 2) Why MUST one of the people on Ix's wagon be an intruder? For that matter, why must ONE of the people on Ix's wagon be an intruder?
yogsloth: this whole post,
Bookwyrm627: If you're content with lynching Ix, we could try testing that right now. Team has already been assigned, so we shouldn't incur any sort of auto-fail based on that.
yogsloth: I noted this to myself at the time.. Wyrm had shifted from a passive “parking it” vote on the wagon to actively, player by player, attempting to shepherd it along. I recognize this because it is the exact same tactic I used to lynch Leonard back in #28. Wyrm and I have been accused of having similar thinking, so I just couldn’t help but notice. :)
So, now you display one of my reasons for lynching Ix, my questioning Drealmer about why he thinks exactly one scum was on Ix's wagon (which is partly a response to him saying I'm probably scum), and me trying to get other people involved and working towards a lynch (not necessarily my candidate!) instead of sitting around and possibly ending up the same way YOU GUYS did Day 1 (gratz on that No Lynch! :P). Then Adalia asked a question, and I suggested a way to answer it, assuming Adalia is willing to go with my plan. Would you mind linking me to where everyone objected to the idea of lynching Ix? I
specifically asked for reasons not to lynch him,
and I seem to recall only one person replying (Trent's spirited defense, already linked above).
I notice you might be going back to that tactic you used to lynch ME a few games ago. I've got my Eye on you.
yogsloth: You ready to use that claim you thought of now?
While I'm at L-4? No.
RWarehall: I also do not like the way you have claimed at L-3 after threatening to claim yesterday...
mchack: Nay, for the fullclaim :/ not sure where you were at, agent, but I don't think it was more than L-3 or L-4.
I think there is at least one more such remark by someone, but I'm tired of looking for it.

trentonlf: I still say only scum would want the crisis to happen,
Then you'd be wrong. Again. Your assumptions about players and/or the game are going to keep getting you in trouble.
trentonlf: Post 1556 the same post where you make it very clear that it's no big deal for the crisis to happen because the worst thing that can occur is town loses power roles.
The "worst that can happen" line is actually in response to something else. I was on an ipad, and our ipad is stupidly annoying to use when trying to do anything beyond very, very basic posting. The evidence I am providing for my assertion about the mobile limitation is the brevity and non-complexity of the very post you are linking.
I was responding to this line, snipped for length (of my post) and focus:
RWarehall: My thought is even if wrong, the worst result is the elimination of an anti-town player.
Go to his post to see the full version.

trentonlf: Your vote was in place to lynch a townie, that's why you never moved it.
Are you saying that Adalia is town? If so, why did scum me choose a different town player entirely and work to lynch him instead of the easier, further along choice? Not like there was a lack of suspicion about Adalia/HSL at the time. Where are your accusations against Yogsloth for sitting on a townie's wagon for so long? He's even admitted that he'd do it again (assuming he had the same information).
trentonlf: That remark from Krypsyn you are grasping at says "Before I go read my role PM", oh gee what could that mean. Did he just randomly throw a role out there trying to be funny before he even read him PM for the game, no way he was saying that right? Weak argument on your part there.
It is a minor oddity, and I pointed it out to see what you'd have to say about it. I do believe I mentioned that "Other than that, the breadcrumbs do look legit." Do you dislike me saying that I think your breadcrumbs are not false leads?
trentonlf: Yes the clock it ticking, and I'm sure once again your buddies will help to dilute the waters and prevent a lynch until after a crisis has occurred again so more damage can be done.
Heh. Like town actually needs any help dragging their feet.
trentonlf: You have a smooth way of talking
Thanks!

RWarehall: <not relevant to my question>
I'm curious, RW. Why did you choose the people you chose, and why assign them to the teams they were assigned to?
-----
yogsloth: Once we have confirmation from JMich and RW (beyond "Int is my highest") this will make for some very nice analysis. I suspect, as RW notes, that the claimed values are going to average very, very high.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. We can get information from crises without townies having to reveal their PM or their role? THIS! IS! SPARTAAAA!
-----
trentonlf: No idea. At the end of the day (before the night had started) I received a PM saying I felt more energetic and could get things done and all my stats had a +1 until the end of day 3. No hint as to why in the PM.
So someone used a day action on you? Or else someone popped something like one of those illegal drugs you referred to?
-----
Vitek: Have Quadr ever confirmed players chosen for the crisis event or do we only have RWare's word for it?
Quad puts the tentative list in the second post while we wait for the confirmation, and then he marks it confirmed when the team is sent off. There is also a history of each crisis in that same post.

This post is long enough, I'm going to take a break here and start my next Wall O Doom.
