Open 708: Pick Your Poison - Game Over

Pretty sure one of these forefront votes on Tex is scum

Hey tex can you be a doll and vote hws

[TesXX]

Gah I missed the pagetop!

[TesXX]

HURT: Transcend

[texcat]

Ack. I hit submit instead of preview....
I'm giving RC the benefit of doubt for now, and hoping for the best. Transcend's cc did not strike me as scummy, especially since he retracted it fairly quickly. I saw it as more of a test of RC's claim.

and kilck, what is it with you defending the bella/rc slot so hard?

I thought it was Flubber that he was defending so hard.

you ever gonna play this game?

Not playing the way you play or the way you think I should play does not mean that I am not playing.

What would be the motivation for fake claiming? It just means that you're outed as scum sooner rather than later.

Missed this the first time around. Giving RC the BOTD and then later asking (me I think) the motivation for fake claiming. Seems inconsistent.

I can kinda see what people have been saying about texcat.

I guess I can settle.

VOTE: texcat

Theory Question: I've heard from a few people on the site that it is usually a bad idea to No Lynch. Why is that? It seems to me that if everyone is town or you can't all agree on a lynch, it's best to No Lynch, especially on an early day.

And this is why I'm voting Beef. What exactly do you find inconisistent? Let's go back and look at what happened. In 493 I said that I was giving RC the benefit of doubt. Although I clearly did not understand why RC was claiming, as I said in 491.

Then much later, after Transcend claimed you said,

Well considering the three of you are my top suspects and that a fake claim is the most damning... Yeah. I'll keep my vote on the fake claim.

A quote you conveniently forgot to include. I replied asking what motivation you saw for the fake claim. Explain to me what is inconsistent.

[texcat]

I did not understand the motivation for a town RC to claim. That's different than thinking that there was not motivation and it would be suicidal for a scum RC to claim. But Beef leaving out his own quote that I was responding to seems damning to me.

[Beefster]

What's weird is that you initially doubted the claim and then later asked what the motivation for fake claiming was... But then again, I might be taking things out of context.

Why would I bother quoting myself? I know I'm a hypocrite on the idea of an RC fake claim theory... I'm not trying to hide anything.

You're reaching.

HWS has been in my null pile. I doubt if he's scum. Although since I'm sure I'm town, I might do it for self preservation. Of your 3 (or 4 if you include Klick) I'd be more inclined to vote CofA. I still think Money is town. And I was suspicious of Klick for a while, but that seems to have dissipated recently.

[texcat]

Have you noticed that CofA was posting a lot before you subbed in, and then it's practically come to a standstill?

[RadiantCowbells]

Yes, I have.

I have also noticed that CoA's activity site wide has faltered and I know from her that she is busy with RL stuff so I do not think that's alignment indicative!

[texcat]

That's good to know. Thanks.

[RadiantCowbells]

UNVOTE:

SOmehow that 'thats good to know thanks' makes me think they're town

[texcat]

Let's look at the votes on me:

texcat and Thor have had their votes parked on Flubber since Page 8.
I believe at least one of them is scum and has been very comfortably floating this Flubber scumread all game.

And that leads me back to:
VOTE: texcat

Klick starts because I was voting Flubber. I guess this is fair, although I contend that Flubber was not and is not playing up to his town game. I think he knew he had the IC card to pull out of his pocket and didn't bother trying to look town or to do much scum hunting.

Money voted me in post 970 for lurking, voting Flub, and thinking there was an IC in the game, after RC had said scum would be stupid not to include an IC and I agree.

VOTE: Beefster
I think it was the whole volunteering to be lynched thing that pushed him to the scum side for me.

VOTE: Texcat

I find it flagrantly unbelievable that someone would actually say this.

I replied to this. But I guess you can't argue with RC. *shrug*

screw it, i'm probably overthinking it.
VOTE: texcat

And this is the clue that I am town. Moz gives up and goes for the compromise lynch. Always town. No one has a good case, but everyone has some lingering suspicion of the lurker. Doesn't ever work.

And then there was Beefster.

Money put some research and thought into his vote. I don't agree, but I still think he looks town. I'm accepting RC as town, but the other three, Klick, Moz, and Beef will deserve a close eye after I flip town.

VOTE: hewhoswims

i'll test this

[mozamis]

good vote, can we finally do this?
obv i'll go back to tex if need be.
VOTE: hewhoswims

@ MOD: -vc please

[Beefster]

HWS has flip-flopped on me so much that I don't think he could be scum. Even with players as confusing as I have apparently been, scum is generally going to try to stick with one story and not deviate from it. At least not suddenly. He has also contributed meaningfully to the conversation.

He's also playing quite a bit differently from the last time I was scum with him. As with all meta reads, take it with a grain of salt, especially since HWS is a new player and is likely to have learned from past play.
