Micro 214 -- Chosen Mafia (Game Over)

[JKMatthews]

Probably should've been 252... first post you mentioned any suspicion of me. Then you questioned Jake, then you voted me.

Okay. I thought it was obvious I was still debating about my read of you in those two posts, but it probably wasn't.

Back to your original question, I'm voting you because your hohum vote pinged my gut, so that and the things I mentioned in post 253 led to the vote. So, what were you hoping to get by asking me to explain my vote?

[Alexcellent]

Hey guys, been sick as a dog for the last few days, I'll catch up and post tomorrow.

[Jake from State Farm]

that was just him being him.

I can't recall if we discussed this already cause I am in way too many games right now. you an alt or hydra? how do you know me again?

[Narrow]

I'm an alt.

With nine alive, it takes five to lynch.

[OhGodMyLife]

Less than three days to deadline. Partly my fault for being MIA the first week or more but it is what it is. I fully endorse a JKMatthews lynch.

[Amrun]

JKMatthews is an excellent lynch.

[JKMatthews]

Is this a joke? The whole point of the game is to get information and analyse is, so yeah, that's what I was hoping to get...

[Alexcellent]

Ugh... UNVOTE: Runnerman
VOTE: JKMatthews... Yep. That's L-1.

I agree with OGML on JKM's earlier arguments against me. There's definitely more scum motivation in them than town, and he particularly seemed to be trying to discredit me and throw anti-town points my way. I don't think I'm Chosen though. If JKM's scum, I get lynched and I flipped Chosen then I'm pretty sure everyone would be lynching JKM tomorrow three ways from Sunday.

I read through all of the earliest posts between me and JKM. It still feels off and, like OGML pointed out, most of them are scum motivated. They seem more focused on trying to back me into a corner and set me up rather than actually trying to figure out my alignment. But most of all, JKM appeared to see me as 100% scum from the get-go. My initial posts may have been weak, but JKM as town, I feel, wouldn't have attacked me in tunnel-vision mode so aggressively, so early on.
I might be wrong, but my strongest scumread is on JKM at the moment. The HoHum vote was bad, especially this late in the day.

[JKMatthews]

Mmmm, sweet, sweet opportunism!
You're moving your vote to me now based on stuff that happened in the first 4 pages? Geez...

[Alexcellent]

I'm voting you based on your entire playstyle this game.

[Amrun]

I don't like the "I may be wrong but" qualifiers. Gah conflictions.

[JKMatthews]

That's not what your post says, Alex...

[Alexcellent]

Your playstyle is still occuring here. Even in this post you don't actually try to refute what I'm saying, propose a counter argument or question me.

[Amrun]

Where is runnerman now that the pressure is off?

[Alexcellent]

I don't like the "I may be wrong but" qualifiers. Gah conflictions.

As town there's no way that I will be 100% certain. The only way anyone here is going to be certain they're lynching scum is if they themselves are scum.

[Amrun]

Yes, but saying so right there is overkill. You were just saying he was your strongest scum read -- that's already an equivocation, far from an absolute, so further qualifiers sits uneasily with me.

[Alexcellent]

Fair enough I guess

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

It looks like the only players we are going to lynch are either hohum or jk. I am not particularly suspicious of either but I'll re-read to see if anything crops up.

[runnerman]

I am here and reading along, just not much to add as I still hold the same opinion. I am getting conflicting reads from Alex though. There seems to be some villager motives behind his posts such as #287. Not the post in isolation but as part of what he has been saying. I'll need to think about it more.

[Jake from State Farm]

I read through all of the earliest posts between me and JKM. It still feels off and, like OGML pointed out, most of them are scum motivated.

my read of his iso was completely different, can you link me to some of these scum motivated posts?

While you're out reading the thread looking for villager motivations, can you please answer the question you've been ignoring?

But I think one of them is a good possibility, simple statistics and the fact that my wagon caught steam so quickly that it is very likely at least one scum is involved.

Why have you so far only focused on people who were actively engaging the game? I jumped on your wagon and vanished soon afterward.

runnerman, y u ignore me?

[Jake from State Farm]

i'd be down for an alex lynch
