Open 529 -- Picking Simplicity -- Game Over

[JacobSavage]

Right... what do I do?

I know:

LA to the 16th

[ArcAngel9]

are we not lynching anybody?

[penguin_alien]

Who do you think we should lynch?

[Maenara]

Right. So what I could do now is to vote for Antihero. Penguin would no doubt agree, and then ArcAngel would come in and hammer without a word. Then we'd be on to the last day, and either me or Penguin would be dead, and the other person would have to figure out which of ArcAngel and JS is scum (hint: It's JS). That's the inevitable destination. But I'm not gonna do that. D'you know why? Because this, right here, is why lurkers are atrocious. Because there are limits to which I do not appreciate being pushed.

ArcAngel9.

JacobSavage.

I loathe your playstyles as presented here. One of you is mafia, and to that person, I suppose, an uncomfortable kudos for having kept this going for so long. But

fucking hell

the other person; what do you even think you're doing? You're not posting. At all. You know that your vote is vital to town, and that with 99.99999% probability, you will be left alive tomorrow. But you're not reading. You're not posting. You're doing bugger all, and you don't even have the guts to replace out.

That's

low

.

I'm not going to place a vote until at least one of the above people have written a post of at least three paragraphs, of whatever length. And if the deadline approaches and only one of them has, then I'll bloody well vote for the other. Yeah, at this point, I'm fairly certain it's AH/JS, but that's based

solely

off BrianSkies, before he replaced out. If it wasn't for him, AH/JS and AH/AA would look identical.

You're not playing to your win conditions. You're not even playing against them. You're just not playing at all.

Screw you.

Yeah, it's not always easy, trying to be active. Hell, I know that I have a tendency to lurk, and I've done my bloody best not to, in this game. It's been confusing, at times, with twenty players, and replacements, and weird-ass cop gambits. It's been tempting to just become the local town drunk of WIFOM-land, swilling the cheap rosé of doubt and chugging the delicious champagne of investigation immunity - hell yeah, just get another drink in, and screw contributing to town; it's not like we can know for sure either way! But I haven't that, have I? Nor has Penguin. Nor have most of the other dead people. Hell, I was on Aptil's arse for most of the game, and he bloody contributed. But you two?

^Actually Antihero would probably self-hammer, making it even more useless...

With 5 alive, it takes 3 to lynch.

V/LA: JacobSavage, through Monday December 16; Antihero, through Tuesday December 17

Deadline: (expired on 2013-12-27 16:40:50)

[Nobody Special]

Antihero has informed me that he went on V/LA without informing me, so now I'm informed. And so are you.

I am waiting, however, on him to inform me as to

how long

he'll be on V/LA. And I will inform you all accordingly.

[Antihero]

Still here, and I'll be V/LA until Tuesday, but I'll post as much as I can.

[Antihero]

What incentive do AA9 and JS have to be active, Mae? I've already herp-derped my way into my own lynch and you and penny have shown no intention of not lynching me today, so they're going to just hang out until you two vote me.

[Maenara]

I have already provided reasoning for that. Which they - and, for that matter, you - might find, were they to actually

read

the thread.

[Nobody Special]

ArcAngel9 has been prodded.

[JacobSavage]

Right okay I'm back and ready to party!

[penguin_alien]

So let's see if scum come in and hammer JacobSavage; otherwise I say we lynch him or Antihero, probably Antihero, as I think his avoiding answering our questions when he has nothing to lose as town is pretty indicative of him being scum making a last play.

[Maenara]

Even if he wasn't scum, they couldn't lynch him. The pairing would have to be Antihero/ArcAngel9, and with ArcAngel's absence (I'm sorry about your loss), there's no way in hell Antihero will try for an extended quickhammer. Frankly, there wasn't any chance in the first place, what with their infrequent posting - I'm pretty sold on JS being scum, but even if it was AA, a solid part of their low post count is genuine, so trying quickhammer would be really dumbass on their part. Hell, that's half the reason I dared vote in the first place.

That, and, y'know, we've stalled. Completely.

[penguin_alien]

You agree that town-Antihero would be working to convince us of his innocence at least given that we both came in indicating a willingness to listen?

[Maenara]

Yeah. Pretty sure he said once that he was way more active as town than as scum, too, but I don't recall where, and I'm not about to dig through four years of posts to find it.

[JacobSavage]

I just don't even know anymore...

[penguin_alien]

Holding pattern, urge to vote Antihero and end this day rising...

[Maenara]

Nobody is V/LA anymore. Nobody has an excuse. Just... post, damnit.
