Guys, I'm gone. I'm leaving tonight and I don't think JD will be picking up after me; after all, weeks of poking him when I was around haven't prompted any action so I assume he'll just sit back and ignore the game if he can. Sorry about this. I'm off for three weeks, and my access will probably range from none to very limited. I had hoped that having a partner would allow me to play during the summer.
I'm just going to spin off some of the thoughts that are crossing my mind about who might be scum in this game. J-scope is another Hydra with a sleeping head; I really doubt Scope is doing any talking. Scope's passiveness suggests town to me; I reckon he would put on more of a facade as scum. Possible connection between J-Scope and PTA; after Shaftscum dies Jscope who has up to then been attacking PTA is very quick to clear him. Also although shaftscum built a case against PTA, he's not pushing it aggressively and earlier in the day he had pushed the A&B wagon when the two were on level-pegging. I could see a shaft/scope/alpaca group.
I do not think Ojando is scum. I also think it is unlikely that ZB is scum; I am often getting pro-town vibes off them.
The thing about nyballs is that he seems very open to just running off the one piece of work they've really pulled this game; that is, deconstructing the case against us. Clearly, they were interested and motivated then, because they were willing to go to some length to disprove ZMD. But that seems to have defined their play, they're not looking beyond it. This is tunneling of a most unusual kind and I can definitely see it as being indicative of scum. Furthermore (and I get the feeling that no one listens to me when I post this, because although I posted it before it's since been posted again by ohgodIdon'trememberandIdon'tcare) they had all the possible lynches down as suspects before they started tunneling.
Jscope is weird around the end of the trotsky lynch. I remember (wrongly, apparently - it was ortohoops) clearly that we were at an impasse there until I made the move off ZMD onto trotsky to get us a lynch. After that there was a general doggypile. nyballs, rw, PTA jumped on. Jscope tingles my scumdar for a weird passive-aggressive post about Trotsky (acting as commentator not as protagonist).
there's a point where nyballs shows evidence of skimming:
The Frog Dodging attacks are getting pretty stale. First it was that he was the serial killer. Now that that's over and done with, the speculation is that he received the scum doctor protection. Can anyone point to scuminess in their actual play? That would probably be a more promising place to start.
I think this is referring to Ojando, in which case it is a mischaracterisation: Ojando was attacking a possible discrepancy in our posts about our inability to contact each other. I'm ambivalent about jscope's subsequent case on RW. Overall it's a slihgt towntell as it looks genuine and he's avoiding the tasty ZMD wagon.
Besides, a Night 0 choice for a player likely to be killed would hardly be FD.
These sorts of comments are a massive thorn in my ego
I want us to win this. My suspect list goes as follows: nyballs, J-scope, PTa, ortohoops, the rest of you pro-town bastards.
I didn't really get much on ortohoops. They stayed more or less anonymous in my mind, as I basically skipped the large walls of text, so I lost their argument with Yosiwen. My gut there is town, but it's the sort of gut feeling that normally presages being violently sick, so I wouldn't put too much trust in it.
Yeah. I want nyballs dead; I can't see anything that says town and I've seen a lot of stuff that says scum.
