drealmer7: >bler, don't be fooled by the back and forth the thoughts present about adalia, just, vote adaliabooks!
He had 2 votes before I'd even joined the new day. With your vote on top he's L-5. I think he's said he'll claim somewhere around L-3/L-2.

Personally, while I've probably at least hinted (half asleep now, so for all I know I said it straight out) he's my current choice,
a) I'm not sure we want to get tunnel-visioned and should at least look at other options before we push someone <who, even if they look most promising based on a select group of posts and theories, could actually be town> to a claim or a lynch
b) At least for the games I've been in I think every speed-lynch has gone badly (CSP #28, Trent/JMich in #29) except the one where I'd actually copped RW as scum, and even that one I think took 48 hours to secure a lynch. RW's game was different because town (ahem, yogs) broke the game when scum missed their counter, but best we can tell that's not the scenario here.

Can't recall if town speed-lynched anyone last game. Definitely not D1, at least.

The unknown fruits that look most tempting sometimes are the ones we at least have to at least try to look at from a different angle before shoving them in our mouths in haste.

Though your question for Kryps was pretty amusing. I have no idea how he'll respond. Or, perhaps more accurately, I have no idea IF he'll respond.

I did. I am not happy with my last one, however. I spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out an amusing single word answer, and finally just gave the Grey Council pledge. It doesn't fit. I should have gone with "How Existential!", even though it is two words.

adaliabooks: We put up with HijacK after all. (sorry HijacK!)
Pls. Plebes can't see greatness from from inches away, let alone miles.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Does HijacK have anything to share on that? Looks like it's going to be a long wait, and I suspect we'll have to hear all his partying stories first.
Ask, and your wish shall be granted.

So, first up it's Friday. Damn, Friday was such a good night. Wild as hell. I asked my buddy if he wants a present, but he said the only thing he wanted was to not get too many sausages at the party. Roger that. Got 4 of my female friends to join. Get into the party: Hold up! Half of the room started screaming when they saw me. They knew me. They knew the party was here. *hand shake, fist bump, lock it, kick it, yo what's up* Then the music continues. The DJ is on fire. Me and the girls are taking shots. I brought them so I had to take care of them. No shots with strangers. I don't trust college hot dogs. So we take shots. There was waaay too much alcohol for a party. That's my type of party. Then we discover. Holy shit, there's jungle juice! O_O We're all over that shit. Me and one of my friends even add extra Jack to make it spicier. Sadly, she's low weight so I had to drink half of her cup, but that was dope. Every other 5 minutes I find more people I know. *whatcha doin', man, yo wassup* Then we start dancing. Yada yada, dance dance. Half of the people there were at least crossfaded at that point. Gotta watch out for touchy bastards. Alcohol killed some inhibitions at that point and I ask my hot friend to dance with me. Grinded like a beast. Loved that. Drank good champagne. 2 hours of drinking, dancing, and hanging out. Great party! Until unknowns show up outta' fuckin' nowhere and my friend has to call the security and kick people out. 2 thirds of the people were just party hoppers. Like, sure, party hoppin' and all, but when you call all your friends to the same party where you know nobody, then you suck. Anyway, return to the party. Dance, drink. Have fun. Get wild. Cha ching. The girls are drunk as fuck. Welp, that was the exit time. I asked them if they are tired, they said they are. An ubber got called and I saw them up to the car to make sure they're safe. Then I returned to partying for a while and then bailed. Now I know what you're thinking. That was an opportunity! No, no it was not. That ain't shit. I'm a classy bastard and I treat women right. I ain't gonna even try seducing women under any influence. That shit just calls for trouble and it's simply wrong. Ugh, I fucking hate frats and frat boys.

Then it went to Saturday. Man, Saturday was lit. Met new people, another Romanian. Hung out with my friends. Watched the Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm fight live. Great fight. Then went to kick back. Long story short: My half native american friend got fucked up again. He's from the same town as Holly Holm so the whole night he was just fucking loud. Only way to shut him up was to shove a bottle up his mouth. He starts drinking. Passes out. Lands on his back. I'm like "this dude is just gonna choke if he pukes." I help him out and cut my arm in the process. I get pissed. "Time for you to go to bed I say." I put him to sleep in the same room as one of my female friends. He was passed out as hell. Then I hop next door to one of my other friend's party. We hang out. Suddenly my female friend enters the room. I'm like "What's up? What is Joey doing?" She's like "He got over me and I was kicking him to get away. He's blacked out. Oh, yeah. And he pissed in the closet." Wut? My friend who owns the apartment got hella angry quick. So we both rush next door to see what's up. I get in the room first. Joey was still pissing all over his opened closet. Pissed on his drawers, pissed on his clothes, pissed on the floor, pissed on his bag. Shit got liquid real quick. My friend got angry. And Joey in his blackoutness was like "I want to leave." You want to what? I took him by the collar and took him down to the ground in the bathroom in a bed that we made him. He just kept falling out of the king size bed. He was unconscious at that point. My friend got angry and he gave us sharpies. People started drawing dicks on his face. Hella funny. After this we only hung out for a little while and then I bailed. This concluded the parties for the weekend.

Alright, time to get back to the game.
avatar
HijacK: Alright, time to get back to the game.
Yay.
avatar
Krypsyn: I did. I am not happy with my last one, however.
Heh.

If only you could edit. I was more amused that our posts were more or less simultaneous and you beat me to the punch.

avatar
HijacK: Alright, time to get back to the game.
avatar
Krypsyn: Yay.
Think you made amends with that one.
avatar
bler144: Hijack - was your flavor PM same or different?
I got locked into my room with some fancy lock that took me the whole night to pick.

avatar
bler144: Or is "roleblocked" not game related and just an admission you "partied too much" IRL?
Sir, I am a responsible student who has great grades and a bright future. Also, I plead the 5th.
avatar
drealmer7: On HijacK:

I think this needs talked about more.
I like fame, so bring it on!

avatar
drealmer7: To me it seemed he was not worried at all about his frequency of posts
I got things to see and people to do. If you don't like my real life schedule then put a few million in my bank account and I'm sure I'll find some time. Ignorance is bliss they say. You know what time of the year is? Exam time! When I'm not studying I'm partying. Gotta socialize, ya know.

avatar
drealmer7: , paying much attention to the game at all
I'm paying enough to know you'll post massive great china walls of text that often go into setup madness where you envision the craziest of scenarios as likely.

avatar
drealmer7: , and then when he got prodded he didn't seem to care.
Should I? I never even got a PM. Saw it quite late. Agent, please confirm there was no PM alert. Also, what you fail to see is that I actually posted soon after I got prodded. Selective reading or what?

avatar
drealmer7: To me that reeks of confidence in the "ehh, that isn't going to affect me so badly" sort of way and is hugely scummy to me that he didn't get killed last night with the "better chance" thing.
Maybe I got watched. Maybe I got tracked. I ended up blocked. What if it was a jail? For someone who goes into the craziest and weirdest of flavor places your stance is beyond obtuse.

avatar
drealmer7: Aside from adalia, I could vote leonard03, or HijacK
Oh, I don't know about leonard. His neutral type of play will bite him at one point or another, that's at least how I see it. But I'm pretty contempt with voting you too. The points you bring up are terrible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

On adalia. I don't know. Play seems to resemble some of his scum games, but not all of them. Maybe the pressure is kicking in? I could compare his posts to the ones made in the Space Opera and the Island show ones. I'd have to ponder on this. I think I need a re-read. Not sure I grasp the arguments good enough.

Booky wap is a funny one though. Should I vote, should I not? The no flip thing is what triggers it for me, but I'm trying hard to think of alternative scenarios where maybe he just properly calculated the situation of the game. I tend to give Booky wap the benefit of the doubt since he's a smart player, an intellectual, a connoisseur (most of the times at least, sometimes he goes nuts in bad ways), but he's also a wordsmith and fools people easily, so I must tread carefully. He too deems a re-read.

I only wish I had time to do these tonight. Alas, it's time to sleep. Got classes tomorrow and exam on Thursday. No vote for now, but I shall place one soon.
Hey, we are back on. And earlier than expected, too. 2+ pages to read already. Catching up. brb
While still standing around the body of JMich, the discussions already start lively. Who is responsible? What to do with the body? ... Well, in the latter question you don't have much choice, being locked in and all. Fortunately, next to the kitchen is a large cooling room where you can store the bodies of P1na and JMich. In that way they at least won't start to smell in the days to come.

After that is done the discussion moves to the big dining hall. Some accusations fly back and forth and the current count of votes looks like this:

Vote count:
***********************************************************
Leonard 1: Krypsyn
Yogs 1: flubb
adalia 3: yogs, trent, drealmer
Bookwyrm 1: Ixam

With 14 alive it takes 8 votes to lynch and no one is close to that yet.

bler144: ....................
I see yogsloth's play and it isn't town play.

His comment about the janitor, taken as a run on sentence, is founded on speculation and conjecture. That in itself isn't any different than other players guesses, except for the details. Why is it always the narcissistic rant of I'm gonna be killed.... I'm gonna be killed??

Look at him, he's so town.....

avatar
bler144: ............................

____
On more serious matters than yog rapping, it looks like both Hijack (639) and adalia (565) are claiming to have been jailed and/or roleblocked? adalia noted flavor of being locked in a room. Hijack - was your flavor PM same or different?

............................
Two role blocks/jails is worth scrutiny.
So, we are back to the old days where JMich dies on N1. And no flip, either, which is shitty but also interesting. It kind of reminds me of the TOWN Arsonist game where a select set of people lost their minds as soon as the word [town] "arsonist" was used among a bunch of options. Funnily, all of those people had some kind of related knowledge that rang their bells instantly. We have some here, as well. Interesting.

It's quite obvious the no flip isn't by default like it was in the milk game so hopefully we'll start getting them sooner rather than later.

Question to the more experienced players - how likely is it to have a janitor and no coroner?



avatar
adaliabooks: I fully expected this when P1na flipped scum. The only defence I can give is riddled with WIFOM (why would I say what I said if I was his buddy, knowing how he would flip) so I'm not sure it's worth bothering (beyond what I said in the previous parenthesis).
It is WIFOM and maybe that was the entire point of the play. Next level buddy bussing where you do it in a way that is not antagonistic to appear less LAMIST in the end. I actually like such approach, it's clever. Of course, this may be just the paranoid (this is not a claim) in me talking and you can be legit. I still don't understand why you were in such a hurry to hammer. Either way, you have my attention now.



avatar
Leonard03: What else am I supposed to do if I don't think the current wagon is a good lynch? Just not vote? That is silly sir!
You said earlier that you are sitting and waiting for better targets. OK, you said you don't believe in the p1na lynch but how are flub/kryp better targets? I have to agree with adalia on the fact that in the end any flip is better than no flip at all. Just like you (and I to that matter) can't understand why p1na behaved the way he did I can't understand your way of seeing things. I didn't see anything pro-town coming from you Yesterday while a bunch of stuff here and there that are the exact opposite. Adalia at least bussed his buddy (this is mostly a joke, I have no proof, but it's totally plausible).



avatar
bler144: To this point, no one has asked the most important question:

Does the fact that the game restarted well in advance of deadline prove that Hijack is not scum? That's mostly a joke, but...it was my first thought when I saw the game was up already.
This is the most important question? Really?



avatar
bler144: I will say that I thought the end of yesterday actually looked pretty good for 4 people, only one of whom wasn't on the wagon. And one of those 4...was yogs. But I'm not lining up to kiss anything! I mean, I was paranoid enough to think yogs would make the original play + claim as scum, but... I'm not willing to be quite paranoid to think he's going to do all that AND bus a teammate. He does like a challenge, but...he's not stupid.
Honestly, when is the date? I have to RSVP, no? May I +1?



avatar
adaliabooks: No, I don't 'have to'. I find the reasons bad because I genuinely feel it was a really sucky lynch. We basically told a player he shouldn't bother playing because his playstyle is distracting and we don't like it, or at least that's what it looked like to me.
What happened to "Alea iacta est"? I thought anyone was fair game for lynching on day one and for even less meaningful reason.



avatar
bler144: In any case, I think many of us who voted for P1na would dispute that "playstyle" was the issue, even though you seem determined to stand on that interpretation. But this seems like a distraction from today's purpose at present.
For me it was part of the package, yes. That doesn't mean it was the only or even most important part.



avatar
Leonard03: He said he meant vanilla as in normal role, not some made-up one specifically for the setup. I won't deny it wasn't the best move, but I didn't find it scummy.
So, you found everything p1na said and did townie enough to stay away from him, yet flub and krypsyn ringed your bells so hard you put effort into placing useless votes on them? Tell me something (and I don't mean to offend you, just trying to figure something out). How many games have you been in so far?



avatar
drealmer7: ~ non rhymed content ~
Not trying to be a dick about it but weren't you supposed to rhyme your stuff until the end of D2 or did I misread that? :P



avatar
bler144: Pondering it, the alternative is troubling, though it points both directions. Could yogs still be scum (unlikely but possible) and NK someone who wouldn't give him any leeway? Sure. Could scum have chosen JMich for precisely that reason? Sure. Or could we be looking for reasons where none exist, as yogs suggests?
In my opinion JMich is actually one of the scarier people around in terms of paying close attention and picking up on irregularities. He has been called a late game rockstar (ironically by Yogsloth) so let's not be too hasty in writing people off entirely.



avatar
Bookwyrm627: This...sounds like a lot more work than it is worth. Why not just off you, clean it up, and then go for a softer lynch target, like Adalia or Leonard (assuming that the three of you are town)?
WIFOM? It's only natural for a coroner to be able to get info upon investigating a corpse (sorry adalia). On N1 the only corpse we had was p1na's. Yog isn't that much of a threat on D2 role-wise (under the assumption he's a coroner) so why bother with him?



avatar
bler144: adalia was against or ambivalent about the wagon, and then hammered when it was inevitable.
And still against or ambivalent. This again reminds me of a previous game where adalia refused to hammer his buddy Krypsyn for whatever reason (I think it was to spite yogs). Could there be an evolution to this? Like bus him, but be reluctant about it? What is the next step? Go full LAMIST and bus the shit out of them like "Yeah, take that you filthy scum!!"?

Am I tunnel-visioning right now? How come so much stuff piled on for adalia? Leonard looked worse yesterday.



avatar
drealmer7: I want to know why people don't think adalia is scummy? with how the P1na flip turned out and adalia in regards to that. His reasons+defenses do not hold up, at all, imo.
But the is. I just still can't get my head around his "play" with that hammer.



avatar
HijacK: Alright, time to get back to the game.
Yes, please!

avatar
HijacK: I ended up blocked. What if it was a jail? For someone who goes into the craziest and weirdest of flavor places your stance is beyond obtuse.
Why would they block you instead of kill you for being more killable? What does that even mean anyway? Does that mean others are less killable by default?



Was I the last one to check in? I figure that the "blocked" reports are the only ones we are getting today or so it seems at least.
@Leonard – loved the drawings, hope there’s more


avatar
HypersomniacLive: I'm curious what that "might find out more than he wants about the consequences of lurking" was all about.
Does HijacK have anything to share on that? Looks like it's going to be a long wait, and I suspect we'll have to hear all his partying stories first.
I wondered about that as well. For a moment I thought perhaps Hijack being locked in his room was part of the consequence. But then I rechecked the OP and it says being prodded will make you more killable, which mostly shot down that theory.

@Hijack – did your PM make any indication if being locked in your room was related to the prod?


avatar
trentonlf: abbreviation explained
Thanks, no clue what that was


avatar
Ixamyakxim: I think he is scum and can cause a no flip - if that's the only option for a role then yeah I could see that…
avatar
Ixamyakxim: Of which his only important conclusion is the bit where he presses yog on if yog is coroner. yog actually seems to shoot that notion down in a later post, but I thought there were a few more instances after this where Bookwyrm continues to search for a coroner.
avatar
Ixamyakxim:
(emphasis added)
I haven’t had a chance to re-visit day One.
@Ixam - Do you think there are more and have not checked, or did you check and was not able to find more?
Should have refreshed before posting.

avatar
flubbucket: Two role blocks/jails is worth scrutiny.
I can't see both of these being scum. A thug, a janitor and 2 blockers (or blocker + jailer, etc.) in case we assume 4 scum? Doubt it. 3 scum obviously conflicts with 2 scum blocks, too, and 5 looks like too much, so yeah.
Right. Large post incoming. Not sure how long it will take me to put together, but hopefully it should answer most of the posts directed towards me.

*starts writing*

But first:

Leonard03: Number 4
Lol. Thanks for these, they are absolutely hilarious :)

adaliabooks: Lol. Thanks for these, they are absolutely hilarious :)
That was the best one :)
