@Ghostwriter: Going through your post line by line.
-Nope Quilford replaced in literally 5 posts before he voted and his explanation included the following " but
for now
EC's scummier" considering he only copped on that he was the one who hammered EC 3 posts later showed that if the timer had not run out within the hour Quilford could have done manner different infinite possibilities.
-wasting time pressuring him over going the route benmage suggested which was to put a vote on dramonic and hope that one of the 3 players who had not joined the two wagons would decide to log on before the night was over. Great, except of course 1 of those players is as bad as dramonic for not posting, the other hadnt been seen for 2 days and the last sleeps in a different timezone...Work with what I got or put it to chance. I opted to work with what I got.
-It had been confirmed by the mod that if two players are voted to the same level the one who arrived first would be lynched. That was confirmed. Dramonic in my book is a waste of space, I'm not as die hard as Hoppster thinking he's scum, but I rather lose him then a player who in my eyes had contributed to the game, even if it was in a strange up and down manner. So yes I decided to take chance on seeing if someone would jump out to push EC over the line and I fubared it up thanks to the hilarious antics of Troy and Abid.... I also explained the possibility of a town voting with the position that pushing EC 'over' was the equivalent of hammering, anyone who was town (and wasnt at the time not paying attention and messing up like I did) would have demanded a claim when he was even with dramonic instead of continuing to push over. (I explained that in #491)
-The important thing here is the game ended even sooner then I expected, and I can hypothesize all I want (and you can join me) on how me pushing at quilford or how other posters might have contributed to the scenario. I genuinely thought I had at least another few hours gametime based on Slaxx's post #474 where he said it was going to be
another VC in 2 hours
. This was later changed to being the endgame in #477 which I missed among the fubar drama and things went the way they did.
Would I have preferred a Dramonic lynch? At the time yes.
Do I regret how the way things went? I regret my fubar and I am sad that EC had to die. But its reassured me of something which I am going to talk about now.
I guess the question should be why I am voting benmage and not pushing on Quilford more.
I was hoping to see if I could go toe to toe with benmage on this and see if I could prove my point without the need of relying on my full hand. But I'll be honest he's good with the words and I can see this being a debate that will get buried in the background or worse turned against me. And this is my first big game so while I know the timing to do so in the mini games would suit now based on what I know, but I checked a thread on the point and the advice is clear.
If you have information you should claim.
so
ROLECALIM: COP, CHARACTER CLAIM ARCHIVIST
I am a cop I can check if someone is guilty or not each night. There is no warning of possible sanity issues but a possible framer or equivalent existing was hinted at to me.
I checked benmage last night based purely on his last two posts and the result came back guilty. Its an early claim and god knows I wouldn't do it if I didn't get a guilty read, but I feel if I tried to go one more day without claiming that I'd be NK or lynched based on what I've seen so far.
Hints of me being archivist can be seen by my initial case comments on both Hoppster's arguments that ShadowDancer is possible scum by me checking his past games and again when I was casing EC I checked his past games.
