Mini 368: Town Of Suspicion - Game over!

[Thok]

Give me a good reason why he should be having that reaction at all?

If he's scum, he might think (incorrectly) that a townie in his position would have that reaction. Scum do make mistakes, you know.

[Thestatusquo]

I've got one. He hates this game. He is sick and tired of playing it, and while his concience will not allow him to give up, he's not caring terribly much if he gets lynched. That seems equally likely to me as the 'scum trying to be town but doing something neither scum nor town would do' theory to me, if not more likely.

Even if you're right, it's not nearly warranting the 'HUGE' fos you put on him, and hence, you are reaching.

[Thok]

If he was bored, he'd make comments about his upcoming demise that reflect him being bored.

He had no reaction to what he claims he thought was the deadline. No sense of urgency, no sense of relief at things being over, nothing. Can you imagine anybody who knew a deadline was coming, was likely to be the lynch at the deadline, and had no reaction?

[Thestatusquo]

Which is exactly why it's a nul tell, thok...Must we keep going round in circles, or are you going to keep trying to prove to me that this reach wasnt one.

[Thok]

Whatever. I've explained my reasoing; if you don't want to believe it/seem fit to attack it, whatever.

It's at least worth making alko explain why he didn't feel like mentioning his upcoming deadline lynch.

[al_kohaulec]

Why shouldn't I mention my upcoming deadline lynch? Well, people should know that it's the deadline (I was just stupid and overlooked the date, and only considered the day of the week), and it was obvious IMO that I was going to be the one to be lynched at deadline. I have been expecting to be the one to be lynched for a couple of weeks now. All of my 'last words' were all of my thoughts/opinions/what I've obtained from rereads over my last few posts.

I expected to be lynched, I just wanted to get as much out as I could before I went. If you were expecting something like "Well I'm gone, good luck town." I don't do those.

[pablito]

Even though I begin to doubt that al_ko is scum, I feel that his reactions are extremely scummy. My confidence level that alko is scum is dropping, but everytime he responds to a question or allegation, it just goes back up. So alko, if you're pro-town, try. It's been your lack of passion that really makes me think that you're scum now.

[petroleumjelly]

I have to agree with TSQ that it looks like a null tell to me. Both Alky and myself have wanted this game abandoned for quite a long time, and I don't believe either of us are enjoying the game whatsoever. There have been nine replacements, as well as a mod replacement, a three month Day One, and the set-up certainly appears as if it should not be in the Mini Regular section. Add on that the fact that Alky has been attacked for quite a while on Day Two and I can understand his apathy; but I can see that apathy happening as town or scum.

[LuckayLuck]

PJ: I feel your pain, even if I am a replacement.

VOTE: Al_kohaulec

Let's get 'er done :p

[mith]

Bloody jetlag... I've either been asleep or THPing the last 48 hours.

al hasn't done anything since my last post to make me feel better about him; I remain happy with my vote.

I'd still like an answer from CTD (644).

pj, I believe you are the only player not currently voting. Who do you find suspicious right now?

[Kelly Chen]

With 9 alive it is 5 to lynch!

Tentative deadline for

Wednesday, Jan 24

. Most votes gets it.

[petroleumjelly]

pj, I believe you are the only player not currently voting. Who do you find suspicious right now?

Same people as before. Alky, you, Thok, Luckay (was Rosso). I don't know what to think of M4yhem2, because it looks like he doing the exact same things as yesterday whenever I read his posts.

I'm at the point where I am not confident enough to vote for Alky, but at the same time, we have had so many claims in this game so far that I am wondering whether or not it would be beneficial to pressure people who have not claimed, to the point where they may feel compelled to claim. If I am only to stick to those who already

have

claimed (those people being Pablito, Thok, and Alky), I would probably prefer an Al_Ko lynch, but my problem is that I am

not

enthralled by the people currently voting for him.

I would mostly like this game to die, however.

[Thestatusquo]

unvote, vote pablito

[Thok]

OK, I'll bite. Why are you voting pablito?

[petroleumjelly]

*chomp*

[Thestatusquo]

Even though I begin to doubt that al_ko is scum, I feel that his reactions are extremely scummy. My confidence level that alko is scum is dropping, but everytime he responds to a question or allegation, it just goes back up. So alko, if you're pro-town, try. It's been your lack of passion that really makes me think that you're scum now.

To me, that screams opportunistic scum. He's hedging his bets. If he gets lynched, and is scum, he can say he was on the wagon. If he's lynched and town, he can say he was ambivalent about the lynch.

[M4yhem]

Please can we just lynch Al_Kohaulec? He hasn't done anything protown. The apathy may be a null tell- it certainly seems to be infecting more people than there are scum in the game; but his poorly explained vote on me.1 is scummy enough to condemn him, surely?
He clearly tried to deadline lynch me and then denied it.

[al_kohaulec]

I did not try to deadline lynch you, had I not voted, you still would've been lynched. I left myself with plenty of time to unvote you. Everybody agrees that you were acting scummy, and you vote for those you find scummy (and yes I was starting to change my mind, but I was wanting to make sure before I switched my vote), so you're saying I'm scummy for voting for somebody who was acting scummy.

[pablito]

TSQ, please try harder to start a counterbandwagon on me. I'm the perfect candidate, you just need a better argument. Yes, I am hedging my bets. But just add more evidence. It'll make you uber-pro-town if you start an attack on me.

[Thestatusquo]

Hmm...So your response is "Yeah, I'm doing what he's saying I am...*insert many OMGUS attacks here* Interesting...

[pablito]

If it helps get alko lynched quicker, I'd be very glad to have a countercase started on me.

[Thok]

Is confused by pablito's play.

[al_kohaulec]

Pab? Why do you want a case against you so bad? I have you down on my town list. Are you just frustrated with day taking so long?

[pablito]

I just found it very astounding that after all this time, TSQ would bother start a case against me at this very moment in time. Apparently, he's not been paying much attention as of late, so it's okay. But I mean, with the way he's been quoting PJ and referring to past actions, I'm worried that he completely ignored the LML-Relyte-pablito claim stuff. It's just not vibing together.

And then he chooses to value "hedging" as a valuable scum tell - at least enough to warrant a vote in light of a deadline with better suspects to evaluate. It's as if TSQ is purposely avoiding addressing alko, mith and thok right now at this moment - and that is annoying, but slightly pinging pro-town.

I'm playing around to see what the hell TSQ will do when I act even crazier. And so far the only one post with a reaction is feeling pro-town. But really, I don't get it.

However, Thok's reaction is curious. I'm more worried about Thok now based on that short reaction. The non-comment is opening up opportunity for the future without saying much. I don't like it. I know, it's based on a very short statement, but, hrm, it's not keeping me at ease.

[pablito]

And alko, I was on your scum list until we covered the whole Relyte claim argument again. So don't go off trying to persuade me to go back into acting all pro-town. I'd almost expect alko as town to start to suspect me again. I don't know if that's even a tell, but at least I have a reason to keep my vote on alko.
