Spoken like a true father!

Two short notes:

#222 - babark - I do not like this line of reasoning. This sounds like an excuse to not be helpful or participate in the game.

#235 - HijacK - "And CSPVG hasn't really done much to be honest..."

I'm glad that you're all noticing just how much effort I put into being absent. It makes me feel appreciated.

---

General:

The deadline is tomorrow. I don't really see myself moving my current vote off of HijacK before then, unless something drastic occurs (a slip, some sort of interesting information brought to the fore by HijacK, etc.).

Agreed.

I will agree with "lynch a4pls, because if (s)he is scum, (s)he is dangerous." Not saying I think a4pls is scum - but that "let's reveal the herbalist/doctor detective combo" thought - if done under the guise of naïveté would be brilliant.

aside call me male / although i'd rather be called "it" and or "they" as chicken wings are neither male nor female.

While I obviously think a newbie lynch D1 should not be me, I agree with the logic. Our town needs information and intel and as sucky as it is for a newbie, newbies are a high level of unpredictability at this stage and throughout.

FWIW - I'd love to provide intel and insight. I've read everything and picked up on anger and hostility - which I'm assuming is nothing new. What's difficult in my position is that intuition has a tough time piercing through typed text. I'm used to playing mafia live where right brain has usually served me better than the left brain analytical.

I'm leaning towards A4plz, babark since they are the biggest wildcards. I understand I'm in that same boat, but it's needs to be said by a newbie.

unvote: cristigale

Rule number 14 in the OP, if the day ends with no majority reached a no lynch happens.

Thanks.

You can indulge my delusions of royalty and call me "they" :D.
I'd like to participate, and I'm following the discussions going on here, but like I said, with the current level of information, I don't see what else can be discussed. If someone says something I deem response-needing, I'll do it!

Call you "they" that sounds like the collective we for scum.... oh wait - i said "it" or "they." darnit.

What is this royalty you speak of? Again - sounds a bit...evil empire to me.

The deadline is already that close, huh?

I find myself in an odd position. There isn't any one I particularly want to lynch, and yet I'm firmly of the opinion that someone needs to die. Newbies be warned: starting Day 2, you're fair game as far as I'm concerned.

In the meantime...Prognosticating, Predetermining, Predicting, Forecasting, Ommmmm.

JMich! You are a horrible human person, and scum! Defend yourself!

Unvote.
Vote JMich.

JMich has provided basically nothing new, has not pushed anywhere, and seems content to wait for the deadline to pass us by.

I think your vote lacks boldness. IF it is a vote at all! Or is it a trick move? I like tricks. Magic tricks! Can you pull out a rabbit out of JM...that vote?

It is ironically funny how some of us lean here or there, have or agree on allegedly good insights, yet none have placed a normal, a valid, a reasoned and a firm vote on a player to lynch. And why the hell am I saying that?

Vote ...

I want to vote drealmer7, but he was lynched D1 how many games now? Looks stupid. Man needs to be given a chance! But this game, I do not trust him. And asking to be pardoned from being killed at least D1, N1 (he did specifically ask scum not to kill him) sounds, looks, feels awkward.

New players? Sure, I expect some fascinating involvement and super enthusiastic, extremely insightful insights that would make me drop my jaw and look like a cartoon character. But babark has a point more or less - all we have now, is our guessing, based on information that is half RVS, half does not even exist and the third half is...something. For D1, I give babark a pass.

Lotsofchickenwings seems to agree with me too easily. He also seems to fully understand the position he is in. THAT means he is smart player and knows where he is standing. More or less. Can I vote him for agreeing with me to lynch a novice? It's too tricky of a situation for me to understand.

Should I vote a4plz? I want to. (S)he is also smart, like the rest of them. And (taken from what flubbucket said) it may just be his/her enthusiastic personality that makes him/her more active. But I did not like "No lynch" proposition, I did not like speaking of the roles and it is basically a WIFOM. A4plz either is a scum, or is not.

Unvote ... (just to be certain everything is in order)
Vote a4plz (it is my final vote)

To sum up the monologue:
- I want to give drealmer7 a chance to not get lynched again D1 and maybe for once, I hope, his ideas (expressed in whatever manner) will prove useful in the game. I still do not trust him though.
- I choose to vote a4plz because (s)he is new, unreadable, proposed ideas were unhelpful for Town, I get strange feeling like (s)he is hiding something. On a side note, I also want to test idea if all three novices form scum team or not.

Few last things I just feel like saying out loud:
- I believe HijacK is indeed preoccupied with RL stuff and I hope he will soon come out of his "cool cave" and be more active, more helpful.
- CSPVG is living up to his "lurker" status. It both amuses me and makes me want to slap someone's face.
- I recently started watching TV show Friends. It's funny! Casual funny. Fills my current need for light comedy just the right amount right now. Anyone has watched Friends and liked it?

I am basically living my weekend in a train. Hope yours is better.

Easter celebrations done, back at home, time to read what has happened in the last 2 days. Let's see if anything noteworthy has happened, or if wyrm wishes for someone to stir the pot and takes pot shots at me for not doing so (yes, I did glimpse at the last few posts to see if someone was lynched).

Friends is an awesome show. Of my top 5 tv shows of all time it is number 2
1. Supernatural
2. Friends
3. Big Bang Theory
4. Firefly
5. Justified

Have fun on the train, never ridden on one before.

I will leave my vote where it is unless something happens that is vote worthy.

I have him as "participating more than normal for his meta and then when I called him out as possible scum he turtle-headed and has been hiding" and therefore is high suspicion for me.

with the deadline a little more than 24 hours away, I'd like to hear who everyone is willing/comfortable enough to vote and lynch today - topped with raisins is always preferred, of course

in order of my vote comfort:

JMich - raisin stated above + unhelpful lurker raisin
flubbucket - seems like he's tried to antagonize and grasp a few straws but is playing it safe D1 by not pushing too hard and doing his normal scum-routine (let the townies handle killing themselves)
Dessimu - wayyyy off his meta from normal and it feels very odd + seems a bit more focused on me makes me think he's got some fear of my mad skillzzzz

I'd also like to talk more about no-lynch now that we're closer to the deadline. Yes yes, I know all of the arguments against no-lynch and what your positions are likely to be about it and I also lean that way, BUT, I still think with this different setup it is something we should talk more about and really pick apart to see if it might be a good/better idea. If you hold the same standard position and aren't willing to vote no-lynch, please don't try and squelch this discussion for those willing to talk about possibilities.

(obvious) 1st worst case scenario [which is unlikely to occur, I think] - we lynch a power role today, one gets killed tonight, we lynch one tomorrow, and that is the end of the game. I think this is unlikely to happen because if someone gets to L-1 and they claim a PR and it doesn't stink to high-heaven, I imagine we'll let them live, today, tomorrow, etc. Worst worst case would be we L-1ed the herbalist and they can't even hope for protection tonight after being outed. But, well, in this setup, I have to say, that if I am the herbalist I am probably claiming coroner if I get to L-1 in hopes the coroner picks up on the reason why I'd be doing that.

2nd worst case scenario [by odds, the most likely scenario] - we lynch vanilla today. This increases the chances for scum to successfully NK a PR, just slightly, but it will become exponential as the days go on. This is a worse vanilla lynch than a standard game and why I think no-lynch should be discussed.

unless we've got a majority of players ACTUALLY agreeing on who seems likely to be scum D1 (as opposed to the regular "oh deadline is imminent, I'ma vote ANYONE just to achieve lynch" mentality that is the majority here - just stating this for the noobs), maybe a no-lynch is more beneficial to town, especially on D1 when the things to go on are so slim.

*refresh*

I admit to having watched Friends for a couple years in the late 90s when it was on the air. I highly advise you stay away from such trash, it will corrupt your brain subversively. They are not good, funny, likable, as much as they are painted in a light to be. If you actually analyze, they're part of what is wrong with society. Vain, materialistic, narcissistic (a lot of shows put this in a negative light, this show celebrates it), too-cool douche-bags.

Dess, your attitude seems very very very different this game as opposed to other games, anything you can share about that?

ahhh, JMich was eastering, hmmmm, well that kind of changes what I said above but I'll leave it so others can see my thought processes.

unvote flubbucket
vote no lynch

*refresh*

You're right. One of these days, I'll notice the mistake and remember to come back in 10 minutes.

Unvote.
Vote JMich.

Kettle. Kettle shots.
