...Sorry for what is clearly a filler post, but I can't help but think about a certain other type of filling today.

Yes, I've been to the dentist's. No, it wasn't terribly pleasant.

I'll keep up with the thread, but trying to put things into a coherent plan will have to wait until tomorrow.

Is Trent the most uninteresting player in the game, at the moment?

1. I'm not acting mysterious enough by lurking
2. I don't think yogs needs to be the focus of so much attention, finding scum should be
3. I want to lynch who I feel is a detriment to the game with how they are playing
4. I'm not from MU

All this obviously makes me totally uninteresting

I have to say, this vote seems rather out of the blue. Are you trying to stir the pot and get us moving? Would you like to explain your reasoning?

It seems to me that a couple of tandems might be at work here. Nacho and Tammy seem to be working together, and Stan and Dragon are giving me that impression as well. (Stan votes for Trent, Dragon comes in and states he's not a fan of trent). (Need to go back and do a reread).

Tammy and Nacho are still in my neutral category. Becoming more suspicious of Stan and Dragon.

I have the impression that Dragon is just reiterating things other people have already said; I don't think Stanari is the only one he's "following".

Well la de freaking da, this is going well.

New Proposal, to move Day 1 along: barring some massive slip, lets just pick one of the people that already have a vote, and lynch them. I'll keep my name in the candidate list, since I'm the one proposing the idea.

Current vote count:

Lifthrasil - (1) Nachomamma8
docbear1975 - (1) QuadrAlien
Ixamyakxim - (3) trentonlf, bler144, Lifthrasil
QuadrAlien - (1) docbear1975
bookwyrm627
SirCrimsonFox - (3) DragonSushi, bookwyrm627, Dessimu
yogsloth - (1) SirCrimsonFox
trentonlf - (2) yogsloth, Stanari

Not Voting (5):
Ixamyakxim
RWarehall
Brasas
cristigale
TammyTown

I don't mind moving my vote to someone who hasn't disappeared, under the assumption that the mod will do something about the player who has been gone for a business week.

My lynch preference (of those with votes), from Most to Least:
SirCrimsonFox - Extended AWOL, so something of a special case in this regard. Virtually no content.
Ixam - Nothing to speak of towniness. I'd be fine helping this lynch along.
Quad - Lurker in the depths. Another lynch I could live with.
Docbear - Nothing really scummy, nothing really towny. I can live with this lynch, though I'm not inclined to push it.
Lift - Tends to be active when he can. All other things being equal, I'm not inclined to kill a talker.
Yogsloth - He's either scum, or running something. I don't know which. I wonder what he'll put together today.
Trent - Feels more or less like town Trent. Not interested.

Lift, what can you tell us about your penalty?

Ixam, what can you tell us about your penalty?

SirCrimsonFox has been penalized

gone for several hours

I can't tell you anything because of POST RESTRICTION... no that's not it. Because of SECRET STUF... no, not that either...

I actually don't know about my penalty. I was informed I was penalized and that's it.

And rather than voting from your list, can we PLEASE just mass lynch the next person who enters with my favorite gameplay loop statement:

*start loop*

"Wow, a lot to read. Really busy. Check in later."

*end loop, return to loop start in X days*

Huh. I wouldn't have been at all surprised if you weren't allowed to talk about it, but I didn't expect that it would be completely unexplained.

Well then.

That idea works for me.

While I've got you on the line, Ix, would you please list your preferred "lynch order" of those with votes?

Mysterious...

Who are you Emma?

I'll post some other stuff as well, need to make it eloquent.

Bump please...

I think poor Fox for lack of participation (I know, I know the irony) or maybe yog because he is acting VERY odd. Not on the list, but I could even get on board with Dragonsushi for the "Hey look I'm hear, but not really saying much" posts.

Heck, I'd even be totally gun ho to do you (God I both love and hate your claims - love them because they get the game moving, HATE them because they are SO out of place) but you slightly innoculated me to your town false claim last game - otherwise I'd be completely jumping down your throat.

But in all honestly obviously nothing screams "Lynch me" and there are more likely people I *won't* vote much more than people I *will* vote.

Ok, so the Trent | Yog thing is deja vu all over again. I really don't like what Trent is doing though.

For one, he talks about pushing others, but pushing involves at least one arm and some force. At most he was using some fingers to tickle us, or maybe giving us one of those cute shoulder punch "aw shucks, you dastardly stranger you". [Oh my kingdom for a gif here...]

That in itself I could just put to Trent being Trent, I remember this tension about scumhunting a la Trent, and what the heck that means in a few games I lurked.

But these jumped at me:

I haven't seen Yog dominating the discussion, either talking, or as the topic. Maybe right at the start a tad. I mean I haven't done a wordcount but this ^ feels factually incorrect.

And this:

Is doubling down on the Yog storm in teapot and bordering on personal attack. Sure Wyrm was a bit provocative but still...

I haven't really had the time to iso Nacho or Wyrm (and the Champions League starts today so I despair...) but you just jumped to the top of my "ok to lynch" group. Can you reply to this with the coolheaded logic I want to see? Or are you going to blow up?

It's like, I don't see this as scummy per se * more like some weird type of tunneling. But it still of stinks.

* if I squint I could frame his 2 as slipping that Yog is town... but it's a stretch...

Now that's out of the way, a few more things I wanted to reply to.

Bump please. Although this should take longer to write...

I was hoping for an ordered list, similar to what I provided above. Could you please provide such a list, even if you have to perhaps put two people on the same line?

And in my defense, I think that just about the only time I've ever out-and-out lied as town was false claiming the Deprogrammer. Granted, there are times I've shaved the truth so close that you could use it like a window, but not quite a lie (I think this is likely what happened with whichever apparent lie Cristi is referring to from Bler's game).
