@Zach
I can see why you would find vote-hopping suspicious, but is it really unwarranted here, given what I've said?
Also, I think gut feelings can be very useful, even if you don't know where they come from. For example, let's say for example you feel like proving Fermat's Little Theorem (the following is actually something that happened to me) and you need somewhere to start and the following theorem you happen to remember comes to mind: pCk is divisible by p for k=0, 1, ..., p-1. Why? I don't know, but it has to do with prime numbers. Gut feeling number 1. Next, induction pops into mind. Why? Why not. Gut feeling number two. Presumably, you're going to induct on a, since inducting over the primes isn't particularly feasible. At this point, the proof is very straightforward. Induction using the binomial theorem. QED. Going on gut feelings, the proof took about a minute to find.
Of course, that situation isn't an exact analogue to the current one, but hopefully it had some relevance. I don't know what exactly makes my gut tell me Jason's scum, but something about his posts does. Even if I can't see a clear path through his posts that say he's scum (though his posts do look scummy), like I couldn't see a clear route through the proof (though I could see the outlines of it), my gut (hopefully) shows me more clearly that he is scum.
Sorry for the math examples, but for some reason they're the first things that come to mind >.<-

A gut feeling in this situation isn't going to help the town very much given the fact that you've chosen to put pressure on Jason in a deadline situation without much of a substantial case beyond your gut feeling, in a situation where he will not have the chance to claim before being lynched.DeathRowKitty wrote:@Zach

In fact that whole not have a chance to claim thing really makes me weary about lynching anyone but IK at this point. Deadlines suck.

Deadline is 9:00 am Eastern Time tomorrow if I'm not mistaken.MODCould you clarify how many hours to deadline? And is there any chance we could get a deadline extension because of all this activity?
unvote, vote:Toroin case there will be no extension."Beware of Zombie Entanglements."

mod: i approve a deadline extension.
^^ this does not change the fact that i think it is poor form to run someone else to a claim. discuss away, but ik should be our lynch barring unforeseen obvscum behavior. my sceond choice, if i have to see another player run up would be jason. i don't see the case on toro. if someone would care to paraphrase it that would be great.town 39-32

48 hours would be fantastic.
A vote count would be nice, Alex.
* I'm on it... Got distracted by the phone.
Currently have my vote on Toro, but depending on if we get an extension or not, I would be willing to put my vote back on IK, because I do understand the concept of someone not getting to claim at this point before deadline.ShowTown: 3-4*
Scum: 2-1
SK: 0-1
Unlynched.

You criticized the fact that I haven't mentioned you as a previous suspect when you just said you were looking at people coming off the wagon. But you are one of those people jumping off the wagon so I think it makes sense I'd be starting to look at you. You jumped to a case on DRK while leaving yourself open to all the popular wagons including jason, ik and toro.Zachrulez wrote:

unvote, vote:ZachRulez
Think what you want about my sudden interest in Toro. The way he followed me onto that wagon was just horrible.
You saying I look the worst on the IK wagon while previously scrutinizing Don with a major FOS is hilarious though. Even more interesting than that is that you hadn't really mentioned me as a suspect prior to the above post. (At least not since your previous vote of me which you cast while I was V/LA.)
Plus, it would be stupid to vote a claimed power role at this point.
And who dropped from that bandwagon? How likely is DRK to actually be lynched? What about Red Coyote? Toro?, HipHop?"Beware of Zombie Entanglements."

yes, but only in the situation you are describing. a no lynch would be bad, and lynching someone without a claim, for instance, could be equally as damaging. no offense, but you have claimed vanilla, your actions have been questionable as well as those around you. i find you to be a perfectly acceptable day 1 lynch. if you flip town then i think you will have helped town tremendously as it would confirm many of the suspicions currently being discussed.Idiotking wrote:

Are you using the new vote mechanic where you need half the required numbers to lynch on deadline day if the day runs out? I think that is the new vote mechanic...I think that if at least half the players in the game want an extension then it is fair to give them one, provided that their activity levels are good.
Anyway, it's a ONE time extension. I won't be giving more extensions to the current day.I'm back...-

@RC
I was just questioning the modkill mechanic which Alex responded in 560 to confirm it. I don't see anything scummy or not to evaluate what would have happened in both scum-DTM and town-DTM scenarios. Don stated it would have worked as a day-vig scenario, I saw differently.
There is nothing up my sleeve other then I was very objective about the situation. You can interpret my statement as me trying to look town rather then knowing that I am town, I can see your POV, but you might be looking too hard into it.
Also can you outline the connections that you see right now, this could be important for the coming days.
