Bookwyrm627: I've listed my reads and suspicions, etc. If you want to know what I think, then just read my posts. You don't even have to wait until I'm a NK to do so. I have been far from silent in my views.
avatar
GymHenson: You could at least link a page number or post/post range, so people can find them without needing to wade through over 600 posts.

(I was trying, in part, to get people to post such so other players didn't have to do that sort of digging for the info)
My posts range from 3 through 691. If you don't have AF installed, then just do a search for "Bookwyrm627" on any given page to quickly find posts by me. :P
DAMN IT

I forgot about the game again. I got up from my bed in a frenzy when I remembered it.

Vote blotunga.

The first lynch of this game. You can thank me for prioritizing Mafia over my tiredness sleep.

"I volunteer as tribute." -Katniss, The Hunger Games, 20... I hate keeping track of release years...yeah, 2012.
Lynch happened, let it be in record that it was 27 minutes before I said I'd hammer. Just so no one accuses me of no-show.


Posing what I had written before EoD happens
===========================================================================
So, I'm going to address some posts that deserve comments/replies but either were written when I wasn't even in the game, or were written after #563 which was the last posts I had the time to address when I wrote my lenghty posts two days ago. I don't expect this to give material for wagon changes anyway, but like I said more conversation helps Town...

avatar
Bookwyrm627: On the "bright" side, I suppose we do have another of those NL's to spare now. -.-
avatar
Microfish_1: I sincerely hope you aren't suggesting we NL again. 2 is 1 too many.
Bookwyrm is correct. We have one NL available again. We just shouldn't strive to use it anytime soon.
I recommend we leave it for when we reach MILO.

avatar
Microfish_1: Catte is voting GH, then not voting GH, then expressed outrage at the NL (not as strong as pooka, but it's still there). I could see him with Blot, Trent, or Book. I feel bad for him if he is scum with Nmillar.
I'm sorry, where is this section of "Catte is not voting GH"? I can't find him hopping wagons or unvoting anywhere.

avatar
Microfish_1: Remember my oft-quoted theory that one scum hides and one scum is vocal? It's been tweaked when I realized they might trade off roles at times.
Hmm. It's an interesting thought. Care to say who you think is vocal and who is not?

GymHenson: Out of curiosity: who(besides me, of course) would you switch to if the Blotunga wagon doesn't go anywhere?
See, I don't like this question for two reasons. If you're scum this is you saying "hey let's lynch townie after townie. Lemme know who you're going after next so that I can help push that wagon". If you're town however this is bad because, combined with other activity from you, feels like you're saying ANY lynch is okay as long it isn't yours. It's minimum effort survival, and it doesn't help root scum out at all. It may help you live longer but might make things harder for the rest of us and may even cost Town the game.

my name is capitayn catte: Still, yay for joppo.
avatar
dedoporno: nmillar has been replaced by Joppo. I have shifted the deadline to allow Joppo to pick up some speed.
avatar
Pookina: It would be interesting to see what Joppo would bring to nmillar's slot (and hey I'm happy to be back with him, at least this game is getting a bit better).
avatar
GymHenson: I am glad you're joining us and I eagerly await what your future posts will contain. :)
Thank you all for the welcome :-D

avatar
my name is capitayn catte: Hey Joppo! Boy do you have your work cut out for you once you're caught up. :P
Yo Catte! Well, you know me. I never get into a game if it is going to be easy ;-)

avatar
my name is capitayn catte: Still, yay for joppo.
avatar
GymHenson: Yes, iirc Joppo is always usually good in these games...let's see how they fare this time.
I think you're being very kind here. My track record isn't particularly good.
Too kind really. Are you trying to buddy up to me? (just kidding. I would find it un-GH-like if you hadn't said something of the sort.)

avatar
trentonlf: Sorry been out of it today, been sleeping most of it. Finally got my results back and I do have Covid. ... I am ok, just coughing a lot, my chest hurts, and I'm tired.
Ouch. Hopefully you're feeling better by now. Also, to Micro, GH, Lift, Catte and Nmillar who had RL reasons not to give as much in the game as they're capable of: Hoping you all have it all sorted out quickly and with the best possible outcome.

/realLifeStuff
About time(also hopefully Blotunga's lack of posting what I asked of them means we got lucky this time)

@Pookina: You wanna talk prioritizing the game? I once stayed up for hours while already being up 18 hours just so I could be here at EOD once. "fun times" ;D

Speaking of: Catte promised the same but seemed to have vanished. I wonder where they got off to?

In this game, more or less any lynch(when I posted that) was imo as viable as I had little to go on(in part due to IRL distracting me during early game).

(also tbh/full disclosure: I primarily play to enjoy myself and to keep playing mainly.....I want my team to win, but that comes in slightly second for me)

In part I meant that you're fun to play with. ;)

Also I buddy up to everyone...I love to be sociable. :D

The problem is, not EVERY lynch should be acceptable. A townie's focus should be to hit scum; after that they should be going after players (that often end up being townies) that have done and said scummy stuff, like contradicting themselves. After that go after lurkers and players that post but do not try to solve the game. At least there will be one less distraction then.
And at the bottom of the list you should have players who are active, act towny and post the sort of stuff that makes it hard for scum to stay hidden.
The problem is, you're throwing them all in the same bag.

joppo: The problem is, not EVERY lynch should be acceptable.
Oh, not every lynch is acceptable to me usually.....when I start a game I more or less consider everyone possible scum until I start leaning/weighing them. This game, that took awhile due to my IRL issues/etc getting in the way of my focus....so for a time near every lynch was more or less as acceptable to me due to me not being able to focus easily and read people/posts.

(sorry for not being more clear earlier in what I meant, btw)
Lynch has been achieved.

Please, stop posting until I resolve the day.
FINAL VOTE COUNT ON D3

blotunga 5 - trentonlf (#545), Bookwyrm627 (#563), Microfish_1 (#657), GymHenson (#669), Pookina (#692)
GymHenson 2 - Catte (#650), blotunga (#668)

Not voting: Joppo

=============================================

blotunga has been lynched. He was Town Vanilla.

=============================================

It is now Night.

Please, stop posting in this thread.

Day 4 will start in about 48 hours.
=============================================

Bookwyrm627 is dead.

He was Town Innocent Child.

=============================================

The Mafia day-chat is disabled.

It is now Day.

With 6 players it takes 4 votes to achieve a lynch.

Day 4 ends in approximately 5 days.

You may begin posting.

dedoporno: Bookwyrm627 is dead.

Sees first bit: :(
Sees second bit: Dangnabbit!

Why didn't you let us know, Book? Then we would've been able to have scum day chat ended and maybe(if I read the rules/OP posts right) still had you with us....at least for awhile longer, that is.

Well at least scum day chat is over...so silver lining and whatnot?

Now what to do.....well, for starters there goes my "Book is scum" theory. That leaves JoppoMillar and (to a lesser extent) Catte.

Should've kept my vote where it was, I suppose.....so i'll likely be up for a Joppo wagon today...that is if everyone else is up for it, or has any better ideas.
*groan* From hell's heart *weeze* I stab at thee...
and kill your chat......as you've *gasp* killed me..... *expire*
Hmmm. I had already a warning planned for the IC that toDay would be the worst possible Day to come forward, but now that the IC is dead it's a moot point.

At least there won't be any discussion of whether it's the right time for the IC to reveal themselves. That would take precious time best used elsewhere.

@pookina There's one thing I wanted a reply to.

avatar
Pookina: So I guess it all boils down to GymHenson first, blotunga a distant second. GH seems to be strange this time around, which is honestly a record-breaker because let's be honest, his playstyle is already strange, so if I say he's strange this time around, that's an achievement and it's pretty worrying. Blotunga I'm only considering due to the circumstances around him and even then that's not strong enough for me to vote him outside of an "avoid NL" situation.
Re-reading D3 and continuing the "replies to old stuff", this called my attention. Blotunga obviously gained some scumpoints in your eyes since you felt like hammering. Care to mention what provoked this change?

Also, during the night I reread some stuff by Micro and I'm not so sure of his scumminess as I was before. I don't know. Wanna see more of him toDay to decide whether I was tunnelling or seeing something real.

Just an FYI today was the optimal time for the IC to claim. It would have confirmed a Townie putting one less person in the suspect pool and removed the scums day chat. The reason we needed that today is because a mislynch and it's game over, and all we have now is a bunch of people suspecting each other with no clear leads and that just benefits scum. My hopes are not very high on Town winning this as we have not done a good job at all this game, and one of the best driving forces we had has just been NK'd.

For everyone NO SPEED VOTES. All scum have to do is get two votes on one person and they can dogpile and win.

avatar
GymHenson: .
Tell me GH, why did you accuse Bookwyrm or Joppo of probably being scum for suspecting blotunga yet voted to lynch blotunga yourself?
Ok, we should tread carefully folks, we're at MyLo now.

I'm literally about to go to bed, so more thoughts tomorrow.
avatar
trentonlf: Tell me GH, why did you accuse Bookwyrm or Joppo of probably being scum for suspecting blotunga yet voted to lynch blotunga yourself?
In large part because the MillarJoppo Wagon had fallen apart, so I joined onto a viable wagon in the hopes that others were right(I second guess myself a lot and sometimes go along with others in a number of games....especially when i've got little to go on in a particular game).

avatar
trentonlf: For everyone NO SPEED VOTES. All scum have to do is get two votes on one person and they can dogpile and win.
I say now's the time for caution and action.....we need to pick carefully, but mulling about too long might help scum lead us astray and onto the wrong lynch. As such:

Vote NL

(I wanted to go with my gut and vote Joppo, but decided to be a bit more cautious and think this through)

To Trent/All: I am guessing a NL would give us more time to find scum, and(with the NK at/after EOD) the pool of players would be narrowed a bit more....possibly making it easier to find said scum.
