So, I’m full of hot dogs, had enough parades, and am skipping the firework because I feel that once you’ve seen it once, you’ve seen ‘em all.

First, some admin things:

Very sorry to hear that flub. I know it’s not very much consolation, but I hope you can find that berating and humiliating the rest of us for the next few weeks might prove to be a bit of a welcome distraction.

Well, the way I see it, we’re unlikely to have accomplished much in the next week anyway. Given that Leonard is usually good at participation, this game starting on Canada Day and going right into him being gone for a week… I’m willing to give him a pass and say we shouldn’t bother replacing him. He can catch up adequately next week, and we’ll probably still be in Day 1 anyway.

OK, so what did I miss?

Examples of what… inanity? You can figure it out, YouTube boy.

Oh, I feel better, then. I’m an “incidental” vote, voted on for a reason that you’ll “state”, but not necessarily believe. That’s much better.

Yes. No. Yes. Both. What?

Hey agent, more like this please. In fact, you promised to read more and post more notes. That was almost 24 hours ago. Ya still with us?

Erg. Awkward turn of phrasing there. I see you were called on this by others and didn’t like it. Just noting it myself.

Well, I started it, so I think in the long run it will be useful. Bookwrym’s antics have distracted us all – me more than most it seems – but I still believe getting the lay of the land is going to be a key to winning. It’s the exact same feeling I had in the beginning of the milk game. We just don't know who the bad guys are. If we could have figured out in the milk game there were two Mafia factions, it might have saved us some headaches. I think we're in the same place now. One big city Mafia? Two mafias, small town and big city? What are their agendas? What would a neutral want to accomplish? What are their motivations? I don't think we can hurt ourselves here, because talking about our characters and what they want is going to force Scum to lie and guess, and forcing people to lie - and catching it - is how you win. TRENT.

But yes, that just pisses too many people off. So be it.

It’s like you’re still playing the space game. I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but at some point, you’re going to have to explain to pea-brains like me what this is all about. I mean, I get made fun of for “vote hopping”. You’re vote-puking.


Hey man, you know I love active players and active games. I’ll take a funny, entertaining player over a dozen cold logicians every day of the week. While there is some truth to what you’re saying here about information and reactions, it’s not truth that precludes origination from the bad guys. Yes, it’s Day 1. Yes, I have bupkus all to go on and am already feeling a bit of “rerun frustration” settling in (especially with no deadline for end-of-day, o god help us), but there is no doubt in my mind that what you’re doing is just… I mean, can I say too much fun? Help me out here. I spent half the milk game howling that Sage was the scummiest player and needed to be lynched, and nobody believed me. I spent the ENTIRE game show game howling that JMich was the scummiest player, and nobody believed me. And now you’re just ticking over all my boxes, man.

Let me add my voice to the choir. No-lynch is bad, especially Day one. You learn nothing and more than likely, start the next day with nothing new and a dead Townie.

So, gonna be a long Day. Let Bookwyrm explain himself more fully, and maybe I’ll back off. Else I think I’m just going to be sitting here for a while.
