Mini 946 The new Zachtown (Game Over!)

[Zachrulez]

5th vote count of day 2:

Maemuki - 3 (VP Baltar, Lacey, Col.Cathart)
Jeromus- 1 (DeathRowKitty)
Col.Cathart - 1 (JasonT1981)

Not voting (Maemuki, Alexithymia, Jeromus, Vi)

With 9 alive it's 5 to lynch.

If I made any mistakes, let me know asap.

DL is May 6th at 1pm CST.

[DeathRowKitty]

Errr....sorry about not posting yesterday. If I don't post today (probably within the next hour), feel free to throw tomatoes at me or something.

[Vi]

Vi - your images annoy me greatly. is that why you continue to post them? lol

Correct in one guess.

In related news, none of the above posts have changed my mind about anything. (jason's particularly)

I'm not going to go through and analyze every post from the past few days. I'll try to hit on all the important points though.

1. I'm really not seeing at all why people find Lacey to be so obv-town. I wrote off a lot of her day 1 play to meta, but given the likelihood of two scum teams, her comments early day 1 look terrible. The only thing to point to two scum teams for scum that early on is having two players, which would more likely suggest SK. Unless someone has some key insight into her play that says she would be playing drastically differently as scum, I don't see why she's getting a free pass on that.
2. I'm also not seeing what makes Jason such obvious scum. I've had no problem with most of what he's said. Notable exception:

   OK, as scum I throw my vote around jumping on the popular wagons piggy backing of others cases, as town though I like to ask questions and get responses first before committing to a vote. As I like to make sure my vote is going on the right person, as scum I don't care who gets lynched.

   ORLY?! <---Jason as scum
3. Lacey's OMG LOOK HOW MANY TIMES THESE PEOPLE POSTED thing is starting to get a bit annoying and I really don't think it's that useful.
4. I would prefer to get more of Maemuki's thoughts before a claim. I have no problem with rushing the day, but it seems like we're rushing the day just for the sake of lynching fast.

Just a general question for the more experienced players. I've run into low levels of enthusiasm except from 2-3 players in nearly all of my games, with 50%+ of the players lurking. Is this normal? It's a let down.

Yes. Especially when we have people like DRK who haven't been posting.

FoS DRK

. STOP LURKING!

[DeathRowKitty]

Also *gets Tomato Launcher 3001 ready*

O.O

Looks like I was just in time...

[Vi]

@DRK: How did you put "fast" and "this Day" in the same sentence?

Also, who is scum? (and if it's not jeromus, why aren't you voting them)

[DeathRowKitty]

The day's felt fast to me...have I really been gone that long?

Who do I think is scum? Well definitely Lacey and jeromus.

Others I'm not quite so sure on. I'm still tempted to say VP as one of them and I still have no clue why. If I had to pick a pool of 3 for the remaining choices, I'd probably go with Jason, VP, and Maemuki, in some order. I would probably put VP as the lowest of those three. I find Maemuki scummier than Jason.

[Lacey]

The reason you don't get the purpose of (3) is because you haven't sat down to think about why we haven't already received (4).

The point of how many times Maemuki has posted on the site, is to compare it to her activity in the thread. She is avoiding giving us her thoughts, and avoiding the game in general, despite many people having asked her for said thoughts.

[Col.Cathart]

Jason --> I'm fine, really... I mean, we have a national mourning until Sunday and the funeral, but that doesn't mean I'm supposed to lose contact with the rest of the world for entire week, instead of going forward aye?

Btw, care to address my post 378? It's dedicated to you and your case specifically but you didn't respond to it in your last post.

Jeromus --> You have nothing to add? Come on... You didn't even comment anything on D2. What's your opinion on Jason? Or Mae? Or on whatever, really...

Alex, where are you?

If Mae is posting freely somewhere else, and not here, that means she's either scum, scared of all the heat gathered on her, or she's completely not interested in it. I vote for replacing her, since she's not going to tell us anything either way...

[Lacey]

Just a note: I'll be V/LA from Thursday to Monday evening. Not that it seems it will matter as the game has kind of died.

I'll try to keep up when I can while on V/LA, and should be able to post some quick thoughts, etc.

[VP Baltar]

I'm fine with Mae getting replaced. Over the past page from my last post basically nothing has changed.

Vi, if you had to pick 4 scum right now, who would they be? Col, same question.

[Col.Cathart]

Vi, if you had to pick 4 scum right now, who would they be? Col, same question.

Mae and Jason obv.

As for other two... Jeromus and a serious headache whether the fourth spot goes to Alex or DRK. Maybe if Alex would post some more, I could really tell.

[Vi]

Vi, if you had to pick 4 scum right now, who would they be?

Mae, jason, jeromus, Haylen. Mae and jeromus megalose for not being able to catch up and say something intelligent-sounding, which is a newbscum tell. Haylen is lurking it up and knows fully well she's probably going to get away with it Today. jason is etc.

Why are you asking me this question?

I know we're contractually obliged to turn on each other eventually but still.

[Vi]

Something tells me I don't have all four of those right though. It's a best guess based on what we have. I think after another Night things will become more clear.

Thats all and well, but in your previous post you said....

Col, I will address you when I return from town, need to get some shopping in. Everytime I tried to post yesterday the site seemed to be down, or not letting me post.

[Alexithymia]

Hi. Yer, I've kinda lost the will to play mafia recently. Not sure why, but meh.

Mae isn't usually this uninformative as town, even when she does replace in. Jason is scummy to me aswell, but it has all been said as to why he is scummy, I dont really want to go over it again. I'm pretty sure Vi is town.

I think at this moment in time I would be more willing to lynch Mae over Jason.

Vote Maemuki

[Zachrulez]

Commencing search for a Maemuki replacement.

[jasonT1981]

Col - 378... ok, you have addressed you putting both at -1, I just find it suspicious. Seems like a good way of getting a lynch, without committing yourself to the acual hammering so as to avoid suspicion.

Now, Mae needs replaced... Dang it! that role is cursed lol..

[Zachrulez]

Konowa replaces Maemuki effective immediately.

[Konowa]

Hi.

[jasonT1981]

Hey, welcome to the game.

[Konowa]

So, top two scum are jeromus (active coasting say what!) and Lacey (the whole two scum talk D1).
Gut scum reads on Alex (lulz reactions, is something I find scummy) and jason (self meta in 354 makes me itch).


@jeromus: Contribute. Nao.
@Lacey: With the quality of scummers in here, reading through once gave me a big WTF. Explain how not being able to read the game is scummy.
@jason: I do not understand. How does placement on the wagon equal more/less suspicion?
@Alex: Follow up on this list.

Paranoia talk in the back of my head tells me that Vi and VP are scum together. All the "but I am going to turn on you eventually" makes my skin crawl. Trying to ignore that voice.

vote jeromus

[Alexithymia]

*blink* holy fuck! It's you!

[Konowa]

@Alex: Hi. After you follow up on that list, could you be a doll and explain why you think jason is scum?

[Alexithymia]

Noted for later. Thank you for the reactions guys.

My actions during the RVS make me a prime target for scum. It always has done. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the people on that wagon were scum. Basically, i was doing something controversial to make the game light hearted for me, and because by delibrately doing something controversial, it makes you the most likely Day One lynch mainly because the scum push for your lynch and tthen they wont be blamed for it. So I've just got to look for the person pushing my lynch the hardest at that time and I've got scum.
