    Well that's six pages I need to catch up on. In the meantime I'm gonna avoid putting Mathblade at L-1, given the extended deadline.

    Unvote

    Okay lots of posts waaaaaaaaaay too many to quote individual ones with the timeline racing in.

    We absolutely need to lynch someone. This no lynch shit is bogus. We either need to lynch someone who we all agree is scum ideally so that way they are shorthanded.

    Based on the numerical analysis, the most likely ratio is that there are 3 scum and 10 town. Because of this we really don't have that much time to lose in getting the right people lynched. If there is a no lynch I'm going to be one pissed off townie.

    Secondly fuck the mechanics. The idea has always been to lynch the mafia and that's the way we alive people need to play it. The more we talk of if someone is town what they'll do when dead is A) preposterous and assumes that we are lynching down which is the exact opposite of what we should fucking do. Lynch scum should ALWAYS be our game plan. Let the dead protect the living as best as they can. We gotta look out for the living.

    Thirdly, I am definitely for a Sloth/Rubicon vote. And with Maiden disappearing maybe her too. Hell I'm for lynching ANYONE rather than a no lynch. No lynch only helps the mafia.

    I love this quote but I do have some questions to ask and hopefully I won't get a damn cookie back.

    @Rubicon: Why the hell did you suggest the ratio of town is more important and therefore don't lynch??! That's like scum fuck. I haven't heard a good reason in this thread for you doing it yet and I want an explanation. Having a person die D1 whether town or scum gives infinitely more information to work off of. You went really high on my scum list. I can run common sense and tell you we gotta lynch.

    Second of all if you and Sloth are going to call me out for not responding, fucking read my posts. I responded to why the hell I didn't vote a lurker when prompted. Really fucking scummy to make me quote my own damn posts as responses to prove I responded. This is just a distraction.

    Let's face it anyone up at 2 am (or off hours) to try to get a lynch is probably town. That right there boosts the town cred to me of anyone here.

    So look let's be honest here we gotta vote anyone before the deadline and I am more than willing to change my vote to help town out.

    Likely scum:
    Caligula (either inactive scum/town always rates highest on my list until a replace or mod kill)
    Rubicon >> Although is heading toward neutral but EXTREME derping.
    Zennith >> Trending towards top scum...Posts contribute almost nothing
    Sloth
    Sesc

    Likely town:
    Citrus
    Fonti
    Lyrium
    Snowvon

    All other players neutral ATM

    Concrete is meta similarities which Sloth touched on + this being her second game ever + prompt and reasonable responses to your attack on her + not being defensive + probably other stuff but it's 1am. If you need more, let's call it gut and just say I don't feel comfortable lynching her right now.

    You asked me if I responded to post 60 of yours which I did and quoted.

    Hell here's a goddamn picture of where I responded. Move on please I do not know of any other way to tell you I replied. Either ask about the reply or move on.

    You might be right, but the pet peeve I'm talking about is people yelling "it gives infinitely more information!" and not specifying what information they expect to get in a no-reveal setup.

    I can't tell if you're faking this. I literally linked you to the post I'm talking about.

    @ika: Thanks for the updates :) We appreciate it :D

    The post 60 you linked to is the post you made asking me if scum would lurk or control the lynch..I'll take a picture of that too if it helps...Try copy pasting the text you think I didn't respond to and I'll get it. I think it is a board mix up because I've asked and answered the lurker strategy question about 4 times now. :/

    I'm probably just going to count it as a huge mark against you and move on.

    Uhm no...That is a big mark against you. I've answered every question to the best of my ability and seriously let you ask any question you thought I haven't answered and given you a third way to do it...:facepalm I'm trying to be an open goddamn book and let you ask ANYTHING you want from me and because I'm being open and trying to rectify a mistake I may have done it is a mark against me??! WTH dude.

    And I'm going to bed it is clear we're not getting a lynch done tonight and it's 3 am and I'm tired. I'll get up early in a few hours and see if we are close to a lynch. If we are then I'll try to help it out.

    MathBlade, I linked you to the post. You paraphrased a section of it so I know you read it. There are 5 questions in the post. You answered none of them. I know from the last game that you're willing to fake being derpy for strategic reasons. What am I supposed to think?

    I think I see the Maiden stuff. Might reevaluate. Lynch the people below Lyrium.

    This sudden burst of "I'm the towniest town to have towned around town" feels so fake I don't even know what to say.

    Do you normally sound like this? I don't remember reading any of your other posts in this thread as being so artificial. Apparently derping on purpose is part of your strategy, so I'm not sure what to think here.

    Of course lynching an obv!town is dumb (and probably wouldn't happen if everyone had a town read on them?), but discussing the possibilities and how we can work the results of the D1 lynch (be it scum or town) in our favor is a big help.

    Why is everyone talking about Rubicon now. I fake-wanted him dead a thousand years ago.

    I assume you're attempting to include yourself here.

    Everyone hopped off the Sloth wagon pretty quickly, and you're his strongest scum read. On top of that you're coming off as pretty desperate right now.

    If you have time before deadline, I'd like to hear a case for Citrus being town.

    At any rate, I will not be online at deadline. Hopefully you guys can get a lynch in if you want one.

    MathBlade, of all the things I posted...that is what you're quoting? I don't know if you're trying to outderp or what.

    You have questions for me? Where are they?

    Rubicon, the setup has built in mechanics that seem to reward dead mafia or town with PRs. Its a revealless setup but with even numbers starting out I'm not sure why a no lynch is a good idea.

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

    MathBlade, where are you getting 13 players from? Its 12 players. 9 town, 3 scum.

    Maiden, nice to see you join us.

    Seriously? I studied and went to SLEEP.
    Not only that, but this reads so scummy; it sounds like you want to save your own tail and you're willing to throw people under the bus.

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

    Does the website keep going down for anyone else? It's gone down in the middle of me reading, twice.

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

    I have to go to school soon. In case the site goes down again:

    /Vote MathBlade

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

    That's the scummiest thing you've said. As town, we should ALWAYS be scumhunting. What do you propose we do at the beginning of the game? Twiddle our thumbs? And it's completely inconsistent with some of your actions. You actually gave Sloth a wallpost. Bleh.

    ---------- Post automerged at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

    Heading to school; might post from my phone. Later guys.

    Okay responding to all three of these at once. Really? Defending myself is all of a sudden "desperate" or "derp"?! Look, if the lynch takes me it does, but I hope to God town still wins and I'll do my best to help it from being dead. There's just way too much confirmation bias there and if I continue to defend myself more, the argument of more "derp" or more "desperate" comes into play. So if you're going to lynch me do it already as time is running out and lynch a townie. Admittedly, lynching me is better than a no lynch. :facepalm

    And yes I absolutely agree we should be scumhunting. That's what my post said. It just along the same vein of Lyrium's post earlier about cookies which is going into my list of most memorable mafia quotes ever.

    Typing up my questions now and my last wishes too as it will soon be night.

    IKA: VOTE COUNT IS WRONG.
    This has already been brought up, but he hasn’t changed it yet, so maybe he missed it.

    EVERYONE: We’re at L-1, we need a hammer.

    Ugh, site is being crappy…

    Anyway, holy crap, what the hell happened after I went to bed? Tish went from 19 posts to, like 50, and she’s not the only one.

    --

    Just general things…

    @Tish
    ?
    Spirit Tracker - One of you has the ability to talk to Spirits. If you die, your gift will be passed randomly onto another town member at the point the Spirits begin to communicate. This will only happen once. If the Second Spirit Talker dies, then the town will gain no use from the Agent of the Dead.”
    I mean, you’re right, it’s not called Spirit Talker, but it can talk to them, not just to confirm the fifth/sixth mislynch.

    Wait. Fake-edit: Just saw Ika’s #197
    IKA, are you saying the Spirit Trackers can ONLY talk with the third and fourth dead Towns? No one else?

    -

    @Mathblade
    Most of this post is doubt-casting me, but this paragraph is the worst.
    “Why are we listening to scum? He’s scum and he’s trying to save his ass, and he’s scum.” This works on the idea that I’m scum and nothing I say matters. You don’t address any of my points against you, because to you, they’re irrelevant because I’m scum. That’s not how Town works.

    I went through your posts very carefully. No, you didn’t.


    -

    @Rubi
    No. The idea is that we’d be moving him a step close to getting to that point.
    …Rubi, what have you been doing since I left? I can follow a lot of what you’re saying, but at the same thing, things like this make me double-take and wonder what in the world you’re thinking.

    And do not go back to trolling, for the love of God.

    -

    @Snow
    You need to vote. Now.
    In fact, why haven’t you? Your last post in #251 was to call Mathblade out yet with the deadline looming you end it without a vote? The hell?

    -

    @Prophy
    Day ends in less than an hour. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t hammer yet, the site keeps crashing. What are your thoughts on the developments? You’ve been very slack on giving them all game.
    Also, please vote ASAP.

    Just for you again Rubicon. It was all there in my prior posts. I guess the board ate it. :/ It has been having problems.

    I did not like how fast it was moving but valid points were made and then all of a sudden the wagon shifts to me. I haven't heard anything that makes anyone else feel scummier.

    I think he feels the same.

    What's been weird is that everyone is always 100% sure so and so is scum or not scum. I may have some confidence in who I think is scum but the amount of confidence people are having is a bit ridiculous.

    Asked and answered. IMO if I'm scum and I'm doing neither that should clue you in that I'm NOT SCUM.

    Just a very strong newb vibe.

    @Mathblade, it's not defending yourself that's desperate. It's how.
