HypersomniacLive: Talk to me about the rest in the list. Do you think any of them are going to self-resolve, and if yes, which ones? What about the rest? Remember, we only have two mislynches if there are two more mafia.
First of all I'd like to start with a small request. You've used that phrase "Talk to me about X" a few times now. I was meaning to make a point of it but kept forgetting and since it's now related to a question that I'm going to address anyway here I am. Normally when people use it around me it generally carries a pretty condescending and demanding tone which I find quite rude. I'm pretty certain you don't mean sound in this way but previously I've never noticed you write like this - you're usually very polite and inviting while this sounds off-putting. I acknowledge that this may just be a "me" issue but I still kindly ask you to phrase your questioning in your usual manner, if it's not a problem (feel free to shut me down if you feel my request is unreasonable). Thanks in advance either way.
Now to answer the question. I don't understand what you mean by "self-resolve", please explain.
Nothing has really changed about Babark for me so far. I got the impression that he saw things similarly to Pooka where he can't/won't do a lot on D1 until we get something more to work with on D2 and further. So far nothing of use. RW sort of vouched for him that it's how he played before so I guess there may not be a lot to expect but I still don't like that as it's the easiest way for scum to hide. I also didn't like how he OMGUS-ed at me (I think he didn't vote but it was effectively an OMGUS post at me nonetheless).
I made my case for Catte on D1. Similar to babark things haven't change that much. I still find him scummy. I accept his reason for not making an appearance on during the end of the day but at the same time he's done this before as well - say he'll be back near deadline and then he just misses it. I think it even happened last game when he was scum. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying he's scum because wasn't there to vote for buck. Getting unexpectedly hung up on RL can happen to anyone and I don't doubt it happened to him. What I don't like is that he may have at least placed a vote earlier rather than wait till the very last moment.
I skimmed over Joe's posts today and I think his stocks have actually dropped the most, in my opinion. He feels slightly off but for the better part of D1 I was shrugging that off as his style can be somewhat "unorthodox" so I usually give him a bit more slack than other players (I also like him like a more than a friend *wink wink*). But near the end of D1 he took part of a flash voting which I didn't like then and I dislike even more Today. He eventually jumped to the next forming wagon which was RW and ultimately on buck. Today Joe acknowledged that his vote is likely less assuring that those of the earlier players but also made sure to include me. I wonder what he would have said about Frostburn if he hadn't flipped but that point is moot now. The only thing that gives me pause is the fact that even Joe brought my name up he also kind of defended me which I'm not sure he does as scum!Joe who is trying to point people in the wrong direction.
Razza and Dessimu are pretty unknown to me still. Razza more so than Dessimu as they have been mostly abscent and/or coasting.
Cephy was strongly pushing against Frostburn even after the claim which seems pretty risky for scum to me, especially after they decided to ultimately NK them. Out of the bunch I feel Dessimu's slot is the least likely to be scum.
If there are 2 scum left, we can only afford to mislynch twice and there isn't any further useful information I'd probably bet on babark, Catte or Joe for the first try.
HypersomniacLive: Why do you frame it as him having a special role that makes him more valuable than the goon? Doesn't any role tramp goon? Being a stump-maker doesn't count.
If both of them are scum and goons RW might have taken the hit for buck rather than turn on buck.
HypersomniacLive: On to my second point - as I said in my first post of the Day, we didn't really have the votes to lunch RWarehall in the final hours of EoD1. So, given that he's generally pro-Lynch, and had made posts #361, #371 and #375, do you think that he'd try and save his scum-buddy in a scenario where he doesn't have a special role as you said? I mean, we barely made the votes to get a wagon over, and that was with his vote; you think he'd risk standing out as the one who let it go to NL, and thus his own lunch on D2?
That's a fair point but he was pretty quick about it, wasn't he? Even with him onboard the votes weren't guaranteed until Frostburn and myself turned up so he could have waited a bit longer and maybe take Joe's place or mine.
PPE (pre-post edit): I see 2 new posts but I don't have time to go through them right now. Back later.
