Thanks.

I guess if you were Town, you'd have posted more thoughts?

And if you're scum, this is your third scum game, out of 4 total?

I'm not 100% convinced, but the way he brought yesterday to a premature close does raise significant suspicions.

Because there are still 2 IRL days left until the deadline, and aren't we waiting for to Joe to have the opportunity to contribute further?

...

Hahahahaha. Good joke.

But, isn't the last minute panic about actually having to come to a decision half the fun?

Depends on each player's(in this case my own) mood at the time, and other factors as well. Sometimes it's fun and/or advantageous to draw the game out on each "day", whereas in other instances it's(imo) better to get a move on.

Was there anyone else you would have preferred to vote for? If yes, who and why?

What else do you think Joe would have contributed than he already did if we had waited for 2 more days?

Lots....i'm thinking like 2 or 3 whole memes at the very least. ;)

You're sure you've got it right this time.

Once again you concentrate and eject what you think to be the source of the unpleasant smell.

The smell subsides a little.

joppo was the horrible banan (mafia)!

It is now night, please stop posting.

Night will be around 48 hours.

Oh boobs on a fish. I can't believe I messed up the chance to make this pun.

Actually if I haven't lost count this is my third game, all scum. For some reason Random.org loves putting me in the evil side.

Oh come on, no need for insults!

Although the smell improved somewhat with the removal of the banan, you find it is suddenly slightly worse.

JoeSapphire is dead, JoeSapphire was an delicious tunabeef (town).

It is now D4, you may begin posting.

I'm thinking about 19:00 UTC on Monday the 21st of December for the deadline.

With 6 players, 4 votes are required for lunch.

So I guess all the people on my second list are gone, lol. Though I guess Joe was the safest choice for our lone wolf, right? If what I'm reading from the posts above is right, he didn't even appear on D3.

We're six people now, one mafiosi among us (yes, this was intended). Each day-night cycle takes two lives. Let me math it up...

Next Day would be 4 people, if we no-lynch then we'd have 3 people; not enough for a mafia win. Alternatively if we no-lynch today, we go to the next day with 5 people, and one less suspect, but would end back up at 3 people anyway. My strongest read remains Lift, but I'm not going to vote him yet. I'd rather we see everyone's takes for today, before I could decide if it's Lift, or someone else.

Maybe a good way to figure out who is Joppo's scumbuddy is to follow his interactions after being called out on his thing with trent fooling him. I reckon someone was going like "why are you even doing this man, get your act together pls" among the others who held him by the collar.

So, who do we have left? The random characters make the OP too confusing:

nmillar
Pookina
GymHenson
Lift
ZFR
Dedoporno

Okay, maybe not so confusing after all!

Going to have a look through voting patterns tomorrow, and see if that leads to any theories.

Gah, I wanted to say that finally joppo's pelt belongs unequivocally to me, but looking at it, dedo actually made the first reference to it in #301.

Enjoy the pelt, dedo. This way at least I'm more sure of your Townieness.

Joe, your hypothesis was wrong. Mine was right. Why didn't you ever post a bragging rights? You suck.

I'm fairly sure now Lift is the second scum. Mostly by elimination, but everything fits: his quick jump on Micro's wagon as soon as an opportunity presented itself, and his immediate vote on D3 on joppo once he knew he was a lost cause.

There is a small chance nmillar is the one, and a tiny-teeny chance of it being Pooka or GH.

Don't think I'll bother with NL at this stage: it's not like the NK is going to be any of the above if we do it. The scum will go for me or dedo, so the pool won't really get smaller.

Vote Lift

Damn. My theory was Joe, after the way he derailed the Joppo wagon for Micro. But now we know he wasn't. Who then? I know several have me as top suspect now. That's a false suspicion, but of course I would say that as scum too and I can't prove it. And I will be very busy with moving to Heidelberg the next few days. So I'll be rarely present here.
The consolation is that we can afford a mislynch now. So do what you must.
