Gooner has requested replacement and it is currently being sought.

OhGodMyLife and tman2nd have both been prodded.

The deadline for Day 1 is Monday, February 17th, at 8:00 PM EST. With 21 people alive, it takes 11 to lynch. Deadline in (expired on 2014-02-17 20:00:00).

[Yates]

How does it feel to know that you have to cut part of a post out when you reply in order for you response to fit? Does it feel bad? It should.

Stop it. If he is changing context, you have an argument. If he is making his point more obvious by using fewer words [ie. being concise], you have no argument. I do this ALL THE TIME. In fact, I just did it.

[Yates]

So what idiot's fault is it that we're not lynching this.

that would ut, who wants to keep zekrom around in order to shoot the claimed doc.

If UT is scum - why does he need Zek to shoot the claimed doc. Can't he - you know - do this himself?

[Yates]

FORMERFISH TO FRY

CAN ANYONE WHO APPRECIATES PUNS PLEASE GET ON THIS

Olympic Judge gives this a 4.5 for style and 6.0 for execution. You did not qualify to advance to the medal round.

[Yates]

Prepare to qualify.

The argument you're implying here is outrageous. Truly, truly outrageous.

This quote, however, was way more subtle and an awesome/unexpected 80's reference [even if targeted towards little girls].

Nailed the execution and landing on a high degree of difficulty trick. The judges are impressed.

[evilpacman18]

vote: sthar

vig: pisskop

[pisskop]

lul. Zek's not shooting me.

[Yates]

I don't like it when I can't predict the vig.

Need to know if you guys should block him tonight or let his shot go through on Town?

[DeathNote]

We have too many people just throwing out vig shot ideas. We need to establish a set pool of

4 at most

and then make sure Zek sees it and understands he is to kill these people and no one else.

I am just worries we will get to tomorrow with a spare kill on some random ass person like pisskop who will end up flipping something important and then the whole town rages. Zek, meanwhile, just says "Sorry I thought Pacman wanted that."

I admit, I haven't been paying that much attention to Sthar so I will iso him I guess and see what all the hype is about.

[Yates]

But, he has to choose. Are you suggesting he use random.org or something?

if that ^ is what the rest of the town wants

Come on, guys. Can we pretend we know how to play this game?

Look, you are supposed to breadcrumb your shot. You blew that chance. Now you have to straight up name 2 people and shoot one of them. Easy enough? Good.

[Yates]

We need to establish a set pool of 4 at most and then make sure Zek sees it and understands he is to kill these people and no one else.

Yeah. That number needs to be 2. Two is the number.

[Yates]

Zekrom: Please kill Gooner. I have information that says he is scum.

Is this serious? I'm not going to read the whole game. Spare me the drama and tell me.

[DeathNote]

If we limit it too low then Scum know more about who Zek will kill. I don't want scum to leave Zek alone just because they know he is targeting town.

[pisskop]

Z-man.

I would like you to shoot RCB or . . . hmmm

Radient Cowbells or Gooner or Oh God My Life

*Radient cowbells* be off
*Gooner* is worrying me so no skin off mine if he's town.
*OGML* is lurker x2

Nikanor is a number 4 though hes likely to catch more heat eventually.

[Yates]

VOTE: sthar

(1) Because Elyse's Post 972. In particular, sthar's interaction with mollie strikes me as scum trying to get into the good graces of a player they think will go to bat for them if convinced.

(2) Because sthar's Post 1009 looks like scum trying to push -reasons- to lynch a player other folks have already voiced a willingness to lynch. It looks that way because sthar's reasons are really quite bad (pointed out why below), but he gets the double benefit of looking like he's actively scumhunting (e.g., "look at this effort!") while being able to fall back on the fact that plenty of other players have already also stated Marquis suspicions (e.g., "alas, I, like all those other town, were mistaken").

- sthar uses quotes isolated from their context to concoct a scum motivation for their content while ignoring the ongoing discussion to which these posts were responding.

- sthar mischaracterizes what Marquis's posts are actually about. For example, Post 748 is talking about DeathNote, not Zekrom. And the ambivalent/sure point is based on Post 599, which speaks more to how Marquis feels about Fish than Zekrom.

- sthar thinks that finding fault with believing a vig-night-kill plan can actually survive scum fuckery even though scum are fully aware of what that plan is amounts to scumminess because... unclear. I am apparently unaware of sthar's extensive knowledge of all those times that scum haven't screwed an early-game, out-in-the-open town's night action plan, so that expressing doubt as to its success is no longer a "legitimate reason" to not champion such a plan.

I like you. I'm going to sheep you. I hate your NK choices but this is good work.

VOTE: sthar

[Untrod Tripod]

I'll do the sthar lynch. I'm not ecstatic about it, but I'll accept it.

unvote, vote sthar

[Yates]

If we limit it too low then Scum know more about who Zek will kill.

Yeah? And? Then TOWN will know who a TOWN Zek will kill. And he kills from a Town list not created by him. Isn't this the whole point of a "leashed" vig?

I'm cool with RCB and Gooner.

I feel like one gives us more information than the other but I'm not going to politick my choice.

[pirate mollie]

So what idiot's fault is it that we're not lynching this.

that would ut, who wants to keep zekrom around in order to shoot the claimed doc.

If UT is scum - why does he need Zek to shoot the claimed doc. Can't he - you know - do this himself?

I dunno einstein mebbe so he can nk some1 else? gosh this is so hard could you mebbe explain it to me O Great One

anyways if you read the game I am like, you know, currently town reading ut mebbe

[pirate mollie]

@ mod - how many does it take to lynch again?

[pisskop]

11 to lynch

[pirate mollie]

ty

[Zekrom25]

ok so those 4 are possible targets ?

[pisskop]

Sure, z-man.

[tman2nd]

VOTE: Marquis

The problem with the vig pool is that if we make it to small, scum will know whether to roleblock or not, but if it's to large, we end up with people not sure if they should claim, and potentially a pr getting killed, or to many outed pr's. This is tricky.

It might be best to lynch Zekrom.

[Ythan]

A suitable alternative is not one that is not as good. GC u r dumb.

Willfully obtuse Ythan is willfully obtuse.

-

You

think Formerfish is "obvious scum." (Post 1041.)
-

You

wanted obvious scum (Fish) lynched, or a "suitable alternative." (Post 1041.)
-

I

am saying sthar is scum, and have not subscribed to your Formfish is "obvious scum." At most, Formerfish's play on balance has been scummy, but far from "obvious scum." (Post 709.)
-

I

am saying that because I think sthar is a pretty good scum candidate, and because

you

yourself have acknowledged that sthar gave you the "heebie jeebies," (Post 1032)

I

think that sthar fits under

your

request for a "suitable alternative."

-----

Literally GC walled to make the point that another character "gave me the heebie jeebies" and that I should lynch them instead of scum. And has done shit else lately.

Is it possible for you to be more bad at being scum?

Guess what nobody cares.
