I'm caught up. There's not much I can say regarding the arguments that have been put forward recently, mostly because I'm tired and I'm struggling to follow them... If there's anything anyone's asked/brought against me specifically that I've forgotten please remind me!
So let's do a list of everybody on the scale of 1-to-scum from memory.
SirP - claimed. Blocked flub who's a fairly uncontroversial choice. (Not sure about the logic though! You think he's neutral so you want to prevent whatever he might be up to (what are you thinking? Cultist? What other neutrals have scary powers?) Surely the first aim of a town roleblocker should be to prevent the night kill. Hm. Not sure about this.) 7
Adalia/Bookwyrm - 7. Some scummy logic? Unhelpful voting or refusing-to-vote at the end of day one? Damn I should go and look this over again before I post this because I don't think any of that is right... THANKS JOE
ZFR - I believe the claim, not unreservedly. 3
Bler - I've been reading still with the eyes of "this is a townie player" I think there's been a few things I'm not sure about, but can't think what they are - 4
Hypersomniac - 5 - tricky to read. More hotheaded in defense than I was expecting. Tempting to see ZFR/Cristi/Hypersomniac scum team. But I don't hold out much hope. Hm... but the argument has seemed to be most forceful in refuting, not-entirely-logically, Lift's proposal that stalling till last minute was deliberate to protect speeding lunchwagons. At least I can recall that argument, and it's passion interested me.
LIFTHRABBIT in capital letters for some reason - 8 Still tempted to name rabbit as scum. A few people have mentioned that they think Lift's scummy it would be nice to find out if they're right.
Cristi Gee - 6 . I don't know?? Accused of being absent in argument, if not in presence (if you understand me). Frustrating that we failed to lynch. Odd that Hypersomniac claims he still wouldn't have lunched her (esp with the recently discovered quote "I won't let there be nolynch or whatever I'm Hypersomniac me."
Damnatio - 4 Leaning town don't reall know why. Not heard from him in a while it's probably that
Flub - ?? dammit flub.
ELE - ummm let's say 6. Not happy with her choice to vote SirP instead of ZFR but haven't really logiced that through with my new ZFR-is-town brain. I dunno, sorry.
There. Probably not all that helpful but I need to go to bed and this might help me start getting some ideas back together.
Vitek - 1 <3<3<3

Sure Hyper does bear some of the blame for the no lynch but the whole thing was a mess and pushing Hyper as if he is the only one with anything to do with it comes across a bit strong to me.

I'd like to CFD to Ele.
Dinner time. You guys figure it out.
Unbrig
Brig Cristi
Guessing between Cristi and flub. Reminder, Brig is reversible.
I'm wondering why he(you) left his vote on an a wagon that obviously wasn't going anywhere when he wasn't planning to come back before the end. That was basically a vote for a no lynch.
A lot of the other problems that went towards the lack of lynch were plausibly accidental but this seems knowing and deliberate.

Looking at the way things unfolded I'm not sure why he didn't move his vote to cristi (other than I believe she had no wagon on her at the time) but he maybe expected that either his vote wouldn't be needed to secure lynch or he could be back on before the deadline.
I can only assure you that whatever his reasons, they were town, but I don't expect you to believe that.

I dunno, is it weird that I can read this like a subtle, jubilant, if pre-emptive, "mission accomplished" ? What made you say that, trenton, at that point?
Especially considering this, previously in post 468:
From here, that looks almost psychic.... Particularly as it was you, sir, who started the 3rd wagon on cristi in post 562.
Look, there was grounds to lynch ZRF, though they weren't ones I agreed with and I do actually believe his claim. He claimed vanilla, which is not grounds to withhold a lynch on D1... What seems to have happened is someone started a 3rd wagon, instead of giving ZFR's one a good shove when Damn and Hyper stalled everything. trenton started it in 562. I'll figure out all the vote swings on that later.
2) I still think scum was trying to make the end of the day as muddled as possible to prevent a scum lynch
3) Vitek started the cristgale wagon and wanted others to join him in post 558, and if you would have actually gone back and looked at all my posts I clearly stated I had cristi as one of my scum suspects so I had no issue moving my vote. Post 348 Post 417 Post 489
4) I will never vote to lynch someone I think is town no matter how much it goes against the grain of what people think. Town loses by lynching Town combined with NK's from scum, so if I think someone is Town I will not vote them.

I can elaborate on why it doesn't feel useful (to me) to bother with that mental exercise, but it's not shade. Well, not on you, anyway.
It's funny you link both, since adalia's post made me wonder just a bit if he was pocketing me, since I've liked his posts since the "itchy" comment and there it felt like he was echoing. Whether he is echoing or it's independent thought, I think we're both saying "X requires Y, Y is highly unlikely. End." So I think you're reading something into it that's just not there.
He can clarify for himself if he means different.
If you feel pressed to elaborate on why you don't think it fits regardless of it one/both is not HSL-buddies or even scum, smurfy! Feel free. But speaking for myself I just don't find the question that interesting.
I'd rather you talk about other stuff and ask questions and things, personally. But then I'm not one of the people voting you and you'll note in my reads list I have you as a pretty firm not voting, so ultimately it's not me you need to convince. /shrug
While I appreciate the spirit, he's actually voting on a viable candidate, and I'm all for earlier movement in the day. Can't believe I'm saying this but....I don't think we should brig flub...at least not until we can talk about what his vote means / doesn't in D2.

I liked bler's final arguments:
Vote: ZFR
I'll be back in about 6 hours.
The most interesting thing was going back to an exchange with ZFR:

I just logged in and started reading. Reached the point where he claimed and unvoted before seeing that trent unvoted 2 minutes earlier.

What where you expecting??
Please answer, this is not a rhetorical question.
Unlike vitek, both of you stated that you're not against my wagon. So what is it then? I'm trying to put myself in the mind of a player in your position. "It's almost midnight. 15 minutes left. I know because Poppy keeps reminding. There is a wagon at L-2, which I'm not against. That wagonee claimed vanilla townie. Vanilla! It's obviously very bad for town to go to a no-lynch. What should I do now? Let me think... Let me think... I KNOW! I'm going to wait for 10 more minutes. Brilliant! That's clearly the best course of action to take! Hooray!".
Since I don't see a townie!HSL thinking this way, and since none of the two of you are new in this game to put this as a mistake due to inexperience, I reach the logical conclusion that you must be scum.
vote: HypersomniacLive
brig: Damnation
PS. Written before I read any D2 posts. Going to read them now.
cristi's right - he should have been lunched EOD with that claim. Period. Probably a discussion for post-game.
And now the die feels cast and who wants to waste another day on this distraction? But without that AtE and the need to just call it one way or the other and move on... he would probably still be my first choice...and yet, he's just off the table.
My last post of the day half the time I feel like I'm drunk even though I haven't been drinking.
Come on, cristi. Tell us something profound. How do you read the table, and the various vectors in play?
