Mini 983: It Got Worse (GAME OVER)

[Ythan]

My tunneling is always town. I tunnel on obvious scum.

[SaintKerrigan]

@ SC: How did you come by the Tyler/Matrim info?

Did you read my claim? The mod told me this.

I did read your claim, and I did not see anything that indicated how/where you got that information. So I asked for clarification.

@ Ythan:

@ Amished: Ythan's scum because he's not voting me despite having me as his #1 suspect (hell, his

only

suspect). He hasn't provided a good reason for this. The other two times I've seen this, it's been from scum.

Spyrex is on the list for his claim and that funny feeling I have about him. I'm not going to push his lynch over the others today, though.

[Ythan]

SK is resorting to obvious OMGUS, if it can be called resorting when he never had anything better. Claims that I am scum because I'm not voting him are plainly idiotic.

[Ythan]

SK I'm going to give you an opportunity to completely rephrase your case so that it looks respectable. Please don't waste too much time.

[RedCoyote]

This FoS nonsense is a waste of time. I said it yesterday, I'll say it today, and I'll probably have to say it tomorrow. Y'all have been trying to make something of it since page, like, 10, and nothing came of it. It's a wild goose chase to make people look as though they're contributing, and don't think that I've forgotten that you've been the biggest proponent of wasting the town's time with it, SK.

But Spyrex is still my favorite lynch as the most useless in a stack of useless players (myself included). Nikanor I'm not so fond of for our lynch. I don't see how he has been lurking, as UK claims he has.

Holy shit you're playing this game.

In other news, how has he not been lurking? Did you not notice how long it took him to respond to SPS' call to claim? Did you not notice he was posting in EVERY OTHER GAME HE WAS PLAYING during that time? Why was he avoiding this one? He says "he was waiting til massclaim was over", but why would he not check the thread and such? It feels like a flimsy, untrue excuse to cover his ass. Now, why would he need to cover his ass? Maybe he figured since he already claimed, he could lurk his way through D2. What pro town reason does there exist for that?

None whatsoever.

Good thing my vote is still on him (I think). I want day vig powers

That's what the last scum who did this said, too. So why aren't you voting me, then?

SK I'm going to give you an opportunity to completely rephrase your case so that it looks respectable. Please don't waste too much time.

Or what? You'll vote me? Y'know, like you should've been doing in the first place?

This FoS nonsense is a waste of time. I said it yesterday, I'll say it today, and I'll probably have to say it tomorrow.

Wow. Really? All it takes is a simple FoS: SaintKerrigan. Everyone except you has done it now. This is hardly wasting your time, or anyone else's. This has seriously got to be one of the lamest things I have heard in a long time.

I can't believe I forgot to include you on my list of lynchables.

[SpyreX]

I freely admit I'm playing like junk this game - especially today. The slapfight and eonic masslcaim sucked the energy out of me.

But, to snipe like that from the side gives me a little gojuice RC.

Lurking it up calling me out for lurking AND THEN defending Nik's lurking? What the hell game are you playing at?

Seriously, guys. Almost one day to deadline. We need to have a hangin'.

Unvote: Ythan
Vote: Nikanor

(L-2)

I don't like letting known scum go for a day, but no one else is digging Ythan and we need a lynch. I'll deal with Ythan tomorrow.

[SaintKerrigan]

Wait a minute.

SPS only has 21 posts this entire game. Many of them have little to no content. Having recently finished a game where he was lurkerscum, this is really setting my alarms off.

Is it too late to get an SPS lynch going?

Nikanor's vote doesn't count as he didn't unvote.
SPS is no longer V/LA as of yesterday and therefore has until the end of Monday to post or he will be prodded.

As SK has been FoS'd by majority, SK is now "weakened".
FoS count resets.
Keep in mind that not every FoS result will be the same.
Nikanor is at L-2

[sykedoc]

Day 2 Begins, The deadline is 7/12/2010 and 11:59 PM MST unless I extend it.

2) If there is no lynch by the deadline, the player with the highest vote count is killed.

[Nikanor]

Unvote. Vote: RedCoyote.

Opposing an FoS-lynch when we don't know what will happen? Scummy, it might be something good for town.
Defending me and saying I'm not lurking, but only when it's clear that I'm going down? Scummy, he's defending a townie for town-cred.

[RedCoyote]

Since everyone is so up in arms about lurking, how about we do a real post count and analyze this situation from an impartial point of view?

From right now until this same time last week, the top of page 37:

UK 17
Ythan 14
Nikanor 11
SK 11
Llama 11
SC 7
Amish 7
Spyrex 7
RC 3
SPS 0

And, yet, Nikanor is the big lurker, according to UK, when he's actually tied for third most posts this past week. Do I need to go into last week, or do you concede the point? Obviously you can't analyze activty purely by post count, but it gives you a general idea. Now if Nikanor wants to come in here and call himself a lurker, that's his business. He's still technically wrong according to just the raw factual evidence that he's posted more than a majority of the players in the past week.

Hm, looks like you just got "weakened" by it. Still defend your strategy of FoS until the town wins the game? It's nonsense, and it's the perfect tool for players to make like their doing something important in the game. It would be nice, as scum, to throw out a bunch of useless (or harmful, as it appears) FoSs and chastise others for not following their lead.

All this being said, I didn't realize the deadline was tomorrow. If Nikanor is the choice, then I will be on tomorrow to vote him. Spyrex really is the way we should go though, or possibly SK.

Mod

, you left my vote off the vote count.

Actually, let me go ahead and

unvote

. I'll

vote: SaintKerrigan

because this "weakened" thing might mean it takes less people to lynch him. If the deadline is ~30 hours away then we need all the help we can get.

Are you counting posts along the lines of "Hey, I'm here" or are you making judgment calls as to whether it actually has content? I think the more accurate indicator is quality, not quantity.

This also may work

FoS Nik

I would vote SK to ensure a lynch, although they are not my prefered vote.

[UncertainKitten]

@RC: You see, part of lurking is the CONTENT of your posts, as well as timing. I love how you are trying to use numbers to save your scumbuddy when they absolutely do NOT address what I'm talking about.

Why are you defending Nikanor?

SC has the crux of why your post is silly, RC

Anyway,

FoS Nikanor

Hopefully this doesn't do something stupid like make him stronger.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I've returned from Luculinburhuc.

SK, fairly sure my play in Trader Mafia isn't really comparable to my play in this one apart from my lack of activity (and that one makes sense considering the timing.)

SK's actions the last couple of pages remind me of pro-townSK.

Going to iso Nikanor.

[SpyreX]

Nik is at L-2 and RC flips because weakened might make the SK lynch easier?

Ohh to hell with this:

Unvote, Vote: Nik

Now there's no funny business with scrambling for a lynch. Its right there.

When he's scum though hopefully its a good long night so you can go ahead and explain the business this page.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Wait, I'll iso Nikanor later. And it should be Lucilinburhuc.

I just remembered something:

However, I also forgot SPS is playing.

SpyreX makes this comment approximately 27 hours after the Night ended in which he supposedly jailed me (and the night wasn't particularly long either). I've numbered among his suspicions since then and he could freely claim to have jailed, so this is also a perfectly believable screw-up on SpyreXscum's part.

Unvote, vote: SpyreX

Exactly. Also consider that in the past week we've had SK/Ythan bickering that didn't help the game and massclaiming (which also didn't help the game). You tell me what useful posts each person made.

Why the hell aren't we lynching him?

Nikanor is fine too;

As for SPS:

I forgot he was playing - he faded into obscurity after fake dayprotectgate.

And has done nothing, but sure hopped in quick to respond to me saying I forgot he was playing.

if you wanna pick and choose; this is as good a post to look at as well.

Ohhh so beautiful. Its like a punch card.

You're right SPS that something would be fishy except for the fact I was trying to, in fact, call you out as WHO I JAILED because you've done nothing and only an SK was killed making me think I may have had something to do with it.

Then the game got bad and a massclaim happened and slapfighting and here we are.

If this goes to a nolynch I will channel pure rage at all of you.
