Open 538: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I don't remember Lucky pushing Boro. I remember me pushing boro.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Yeah later. I'm going to bed right now. I don't know but 2 of you 3 are scum. I just don't know which to lynch first.

There are points where I honestly don't even care because I want this game to end so badly. But I have hated players who played like that to the core. So I'm not doing that. Just saying. More than anything I want to interact with zek who has said FUCK ALL. And if he doesn't at least make an introduction I will vote him without regret.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Or we are doomed?

A bit much on the AtF no?

@mod: Zek has not so much as posted "hi". That's not right. Can we get someone willing to play?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

It's not about "doomed" smudger. Lynching town today means game over. That's it. No more time to be "doomed".

I've had enough of this. I'm tired of waiting on aptil's slot. I'm tired of picking apart your posts, coming up scum, and still not lynching you. I'm tired of your appeals to emotion and fear, and WIFOM BS.

What you mean to say is, lynching you today dooms the scum team. That would be a more accurate statement if you are scum. And would make far more sense from that point of view. Why say "doomed" as town? In this situation, if I were under suspicion, I'd be screaming and trying to force feed my reads. I'd be puking information into the thread hoping someone would wake up. I'd be doing everything possible NOT TO LOSE. Lynching scum today does not guarantee a town win. It doesn't guarantee a scum win either. It just gives us another day to find the partner. So "doomed" is appropriate if you are scum. It's certainly not appropriate if you were town, because you'd know it would be over.

The ONLY reason I am not putting you at L-1 right now is because I need to probe aptil slot. I

NEED

to and I am increasingly more disappointed and frustrated at the lack of activity and COMPLETE ABSENCE there. I'm getting downright mad, to be honest.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

@mod: I'd like to request a re-replacement. Zekrom25 has been on-site for less than 3 months and is currently in 20 games. He is clearly unable to be a fitting replacement here.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Yes, please.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

As of now I'm considering Zekrom to be lynched first.
Hopefully all of his posts moving forward shall be beacons of pro-town play.

Yep.

He hasn't read anything and just wants to lynch someone. Does he even realize it's MYLO? Does he care?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

But you were just voting him?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Why don't you walk me through your town read of smudger, zek?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Why don't you walk me through your town read of smudger, zek?

I'd rather just hear about his vote and unvote reasoning some more, personally - plenty of time to hear about his reads later.

I have reasons for asking what I do.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

um...

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Apparently he does. Personally, I don't think we're going to get anything but WIFOM out of him. He's (more than likely) a newb to the site, and being in 20 games, not read the game in the 2 days since he replaced the slot.... I mean... this is not playing. This is taking up space.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

*sigh*

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I personally think the attempted lynch/hammer on Smudger is some of the best info we've had in days, what's your take?

Yeah I totally agree with this. Built up frustration is spilling, so I want him to get his ass in gear like yesterday.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Zek, what is your claim?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

ZEK - WHAT IS YOUR CLAIM...

[EspeciallyTheLies]

K FUCK IT. ENOUGH OF THIS GAME.

VOTE: ZEK

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Nope. That's my vote. I'm going away now. I'm gonna go drink delicious alcohol. Gonna go celebrate the end of the week and not having to work on Saturday. Then, after I'm good and sauced, I'm gonna play minecraft, kill monsters, and make pretty things. I might even make a meatloaf. A drunk meatloaf.

What I'm not going to do is come back here and fuck around with that thing and get aggravated. There are enough of you to form a consensus on someone else if you really want.

Have fun. See you on Monday. <3

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Lucky was annoyed to get the derpmaster as his scumbuddy

I thought the same thing. Plus I was getting paranoid about smudger possibly being town. I'm still confused as hell. But I'm getting loose so fuck it

I HAVE TWO BOTTLES OF WINE. WHO WANTS TO DANCE?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

comon now don'tbe boring.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

just a rushed vote

since the deadline

NOT THOUGHT OUT

Thor: nice slip up

lolwut

HI ZEK. LET'S TALK.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

thorsi town. my htoughts on lucky an ge found in my iso. even if you duint think about avyoru vote, you vfisrt instinct was to vot e smcudger, even thoush its mylo, and thn... what? you lookd at a vc?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

HAHAHAHA ok.

noscum leaning atlall?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

i was gonnaask you to ans er the qustion but it s clea you have no instenion fo donig so.

HANG!!

[EspeciallyTheLies]

It is your responsibility to check the thread and make sure you are ready to commit to the game BEFORE AGREEING TO REPLACE IN. You don't get to complain about it. You didn't post at all. You had TWO DAYS OF NOT POSTING to read the game. Maybe you shouldn't be in 20 games?!?? It's not fair to the other players.

I despise players like this, just saying. You're making zero effort. You refuse to answer questions posed to you. You have yet to even acknowledge most of them!!

[EspeciallyTheLies]

thorsi town. my htoughts on lucky an ge found in my iso. even if you duint think about avyoru vote, you vfisrt instinct was to vot e smcudger, even thoush its mylo, and thn... what? you lookd at a vc?

Oh my gawd, now I want to policy lynch you.

Oh hush.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

ETL i am able to manage the games

Oh really?

replacing into a game that's almost 60 pages

So that's why you haven't read a scrap of the game yet? That's why you've ignored the questions people are asking you? So, then, if you're doing just dandy, the reason you've been floundering thus far is because............. you're scum.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

@ETL - anyone who "drunk posts" with a lot of mis spellings, by definition, needs lynching. I have drunk posted many a time. I get maybe a little more fighty and a little more silly - but I can still manage to operate a keyboard. Every time I read a post like that I kind of admit I start presuming the poster is like 16 or something.

*shrug* I'll try to type better next time. It doesn't happen as often as people seem to believe. I

do

work during the week.

Panic bus? Came in voting his partner who he saw going down and wanted to be on the wagon for it. He realized it was either really obvious or that it actually wasn't a sure thing smudger would be lynched and panicked back off. Hard to tell with zekrom the way he's played so far.

This reads to me like you are trying to make sure you aren't implicated as the partner when zek flips scum. It's really the only option for you, isn't it? You know you can't push me. You know you can't push obvtown BB/Thor. Admitting that zek made a foolish scum slip in trying to get a quicklynch means you're the only one left to be the partner, so you come up with this convoluted theory? You know, the most reasonable assumption...

Have yu ever seen a panic bus happen anywhere before? I'd love to have an example to evaluate this one by.

And yeah, this.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I am not going to vote anyone other than you or lucky today and much more preferably you.

Thor I have gone back and forth on smudger. Given zek's "content" thus far I see him more likely to be town at this point. I do need to take a look at aptil/lucky interactions just to be certain but I'm pretty comfortable with my vote.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

First part was @zek, obviously.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

@thor: About smudger, it's a combination of his attitude and comments the last few days (most notably - "I know I'm town - It's absolutely lucky/zek!" - He keeps repeating this because, I think, he's tried to explain his reasoning otherwise and was not being heard/understood). What does a townie do at that point? They just keep repeating what they know. What does a scum do? They make up new theories because they can. Then, add in zek's responses, or lack thereof, and Lucky's reactions to both, and I'm leaning much more towards townSmudger than not. And the more I look back at the game, the more I like it.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Thor,

do you see town act rationally more often? I don't. I agree smudger hasn't done much spectacular, but clearly you have doubts about him as well, so I'm not just seeing things. If you look at his argument with me over the past day, it seems very much like he went "well fuck it". If he is in fact town, that's his constant. He's town-reading you, me and BB. In his mind, those are facts, or as close to facts as it gets. I get that. I've been there. It's not beneficial for scum to town read so many at this point. It would be smarter to add me in the scum pool. Having more variables makes it easier to hide. Zek hasn't played very well at all whatever his alignment, but he has tried to throw suspicion on me because I think he sees that PoE is not going to work in his favor here. And the way he's been trolling Zek tells me he's at least not partners with zek if he is scum. Do you see lucky+smudger as a possibility? And if so, how do you explain lucky's shitty explanation for why zek voted smudger at his entrance? Because it's pretty clear to me zek is scum, and of the two lucky seems more likely to be the partner here, especially given the suspicions I had about him D1.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I don't want to work too hard to convince you. I honestly can't take the guilt if you're right. But I feel very strongly about zek being scum, and that's what I'm focusing on. The biggest thing for me is that lucky is scummier than smudger, and zek is by far the scummiest.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Is there more to your suspicion of smudger than his attitude? I mean, anything concrete as far as his voting patterns or the pushes he's made?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

You aren't gonna try to convince me smudger is scum lucky?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

UNVOTE:

Not ending the day yet. I'm going to the store.

Lucky, if zek is scum, who is the partner

[EspeciallyTheLies]

K. Why smudger?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

K. Why smudger?

I'm back from the store, Lucky. Can I see your case on smudger please?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Is there more to your suspicion of smudger than his attitude? I mean, anything concrete as far as his voting patterns or the pushes he's made?

Yours too, thor.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Then it wasn't very memorable. As far as I recall, you just think he's scum because of his attitude at his own wagon, your suspicion of lucky, and because you used to think aptil was town. Is that incorrect? With the aptil slot now on the chopping block, you think lucky is town?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Ugh ok. This isn't getting any better and Lucky has apparently checked out.

VOTE: Zek

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I actually had to CTRL+F for this thread in my list.

WHAT THE FUCK. I don't even care who you lynch at this point. Lynch me for all I care. Just get it going. Stop stalling.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

LMAO... good thing your predecessor claimed doc huh?

THOR YOU COME IN HERE AND LYNCH THIS SCUM NOW PLZ <3

[EspeciallyTheLies]

You are dumb. Look at the setup.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

ETL i am able to manage the games

You don't even know what game you are playing!

[EspeciallyTheLies]

THREAD NEEDS MORE MJÖLNIR

[EspeciallyTheLies]

you all are making a mistake on a VT

I thought you were a VT? Aptil claimed to have protected me N2.

lol....

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I was gonna tell you to just stop but this is funny.

Keep going.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

ETL he's obviously a miller

Oh really? I was thinking he might actually be a jester.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I left my phone at home by accident today. I do not have much access until I get home.

THOR, BB, you guys better hammer this scum!!

[EspeciallyTheLies]

VOTE: lucky

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Votes smudger; suggests No Lynch.

Real town logic there boys.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Oh. Well.

That changes EVERYTHING.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

No. What you said was:

"Here's a cake. Or I could just kill you."

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I don't really care for your appeals to fear dude.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

The rigth question should be how many glasses of wine have I had tonight. So far only 2, but gaining because I'm pissed off. So tonight is not the night to play dumb.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I didn't jump to do stuff. I was looking for a particular reaction. It didn't happen.

UNVOTE:

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Why do you keep mentioning that you are confirmed town?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Fuckin hell. BB, help.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

BBmolla

[EspeciallyTheLies]

It's not a vote. I was hoping he'd appear. I am not magic though. I'm a fool.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

It's not me dummy.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

You are both just pulling my heart strings and I can't take it.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Oh yeah I forgot. I mean I knew it was valentines day but I forgot again.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

We've narrowed it down to 2. Me or Smudger, you and BB can talk it out now.

This is not new news...

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Yes, smudger. We are waiting for something, or have you not been reading the thread? I asked for input from BB, who was busy yesterday. He'll get back to me at his convenience, and I will be waiting for that. I'm not making a move until I discuss things with him.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I'm leaning Lucky atm fwiw

The problem I'm having is that I've had suspicions on both during this game, and both are AtEing like nobody's business and it's working. So I'm at a total loss.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Why exactly is smudger more likely town than Lucky? I really couldn't find anything substantial in the way of associatives between Kalimar-aptil/zek with either of them.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I have an idea. At work right now but I've been doing some re-reading. Will post when I get home.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

That's fabulous lucky.

I spent all my time on something else that was more urgent. We have 9 fucking days. You can wait one more for me.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

WHO SAID I WANTED 9 DAYS. I SAID GIVE ME A DAY. I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Actually you know what

I'm tired of mafia. People are fucking assholes.

VOTE: lucky

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Mon Feb 17, 2014 9:18 pm <<<< not over a day ago. Math is hard, I know, but give me a break.

You're already voting who you think is scum so what does it matter if I vote lucky? The only one who can decide it now is BB. If he decides to go with you instead, I'm doing that. I don't care anymore. I took a break for a couple weeks and then really wanted to play mafia but I'm getting to the same point I was before and I shouldn't have come back so soon. Or at all. I'm tired of being treated like garbage.

End this game so I can move on.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Tbh, it came down to Smudger actually giving a shit about the game while you sat around and twiddled your thumbs.

^
I'm sorry anyway.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

wow. dead thread was convinced of my scumminess.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Thanks Anorway <3 Expertly modded.
