super quick scan pre-work
adaliabooks: Funny, why did you completely ignore it then? Patented bler dodge again?
Well, the question wasn't asked of me specifically, so how is responding at all a dodge, exactly?
Besides, I made the same argument that Lift did (with a hint of damnation's response), Lift just seemingly answered it more thoroughly as I bounced off to other topics. Assuming 10 alive D3, and I happen to be one of them, I would know quite a bit more than I currently do.
adaliabooks: That's not pretty formidable, that's the pretty standard scum team combo. Why does that justify having a second cop?
A deputy just doesn't really make sense in this set up, and is the kind of claim I would pull out if I were scum.
Add the miller - you talked about the upside of a cop, but godfather/miller creates 2 possibilities in 12 cop comes out defending a wrong read, and a) gets killed (strongman/mis-lynch) and b) potentially leads town down the wrong path.
As Mark Twain never said " It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble, but things you know for sure that just ain't so."
Lifthrasil: But kidding aside, if I'm right and cristi flips scum, you'll move out of that comfy 'probably town' area for me. My leading theory is still HSL+cristi+ZFR ... but the latter only because he wasn't lynched at the end of D1. Perhaps it's HSL+crsti+bler after all? Even though your scum-hunting seems genuine, I really don't agree with your conclusions. Somehow we seem to think in opposite ways.
That's fine.
But seriously, have we ever agreed in a mafia game?
Damnation: First off; welcome back, Trent! It's good to have you here, that means my reads on you are not nullified :)
Anyhow; this. All of this! Cristi exclaims she needs time for her claim, and while not necessarily in the danger zone, her remarks bely her feeling a lot of stress and pressure. This doesn't make her buckle. She claimed now, with what she thought was 24-hours to go, and 3 votes from lynching. Why?
Couple this with the fact that her role is BACKUP Cop. Not Cop, not Insane Cop, but BACKUP. That means she has no power as she slightly implied during EoD1, but more importantly; it makes her vanilla as of right now. Sure, vanilla with upside in case of the (potentially unexisting) Cop dies. Until then, she is vanilla. If she dies before said Cop, she remains vanilla. She bemoaned us for not lynching a vanilla, so I really wonder why she thought she was more worthy of staying here than ZFR?
No matter which way I turn this, I only come up with Cristi having claimed vanilla, and one-upping ZFR's vanilla claim, and nothing more. Her death doesn't remove power from the town anymore than ZFR's death would, but it might pack more information - given what we would do with the fact that a backup Cop existed, should she flip Town Deputy as she claims.
Now that's a compelling argument.
elebutterfly: bler, SPF, ZFR, what would it take to get you back on the cristi wagon? You all say you would be okay with lunching with cristi, though you're all voting for adaliawyrms at the minute, I think. We are EOD-24 hours, more or less. Not to rush you or anything, but what do you hope to achieve here?
I'm pretty sure I said last night I'd come over to cristi, of the two I'd just reeeeally rather lynch adalia. Both because I find him toastier, and b/c if he is toaster, I think the wyrm swapperoo is going to make him nigh invincible for D3.
PoppyAppletree: Also,
as a replacement for HSL has not been forthcoming, I will unfortunately have to modkill him if a subtitute has not taken his spot before the final 24 hours begin.
I'll be on tonight and cristi is L-2 (L-1 if we brig ZFR). If a modkill is imminent, I don't see any rush to vote cristi. We may as well see that flip today and discuss whether/how that changes the table.
If anything I'd probably hold off on brigging ZFR (though I intend to do that too).
Late for work! Have fun.
