A new strategy? Sounds scary. Did you have an old strategy? I hope that the drunk and shrink both investigated RedSk last night. And since we haven't heard anything to the contrary, he's looking pretty blue to me. I'm not sure that we've heard from everyone today though. Thinking this through out loud. Feel free to join in. Since the Town Drunk cannot be recruited, we can trust whatever they have to say if they claim. If he says Red's been sampled, we have to decide if/when we want to lynch him.* If the TD stays quiet, then it's assumed Red has either been recruited (see below for Step 2) or was never sampled at all. If the Psychoanalyst claims and tells us Red's scum, it's possible that the shrink himself was the Night 1 recruit, and is trying to get us to lynch our own doc (this forfeits the shrink's life as well, but getting town to mislynch their doc is a risk I would consider as scum). If the shrink doesn't claim, then it's assumed that Red was not a pod person as of Night 1. Of course, this is all assuming that the players in question targeted Red last Night. This is not a guarantee, as different players will have different ideas for the best use of their powers. *If he was only sampled as of Night 1, then he won't be recruited until the start of Night 2 at the earliest. If the Mad Scientist immunized Red on Night 1, then that hypothetical N2 recruitment will be delayed until N3. This continues so long as the MS continues to immunize. The question is whether or not he did, and will he continue to (especially given that the MS can be recruited)? Either way, we can attempt to gamble, leaving Red alive for a Night or 2 to keep using his power for town. Or, we can just lynch him immediately, not wanting to take the risk (which is to say, there's not much of one--his power doesn't help scum, just its absence hurts us a little).

Well, this is certainly one game where "no one's proven until they're dead" is going to be a sound theory for me.

Hi, just reread the first day. I'm just going to vote Paranoia right away toDay for the following reasons: - He wanted a no lynch yesterday.
- His quick vote on sturm
- Wanted the NR to out himself but gave no reasons why
- meta: writing him/her and s/he when referring to the MPP but occasionally slipping and referring to the MPP as him. I originally thought Paranoia had girly bits so read past it. Caught it on the reread.
vote Paranoia

Not heard from yet toDay: sinjin, paranoia, and RedSkeezix. Only vote so far toDay: peeker voted InnerStickler. Only post by SilverJan toDay: It looks as if we are a lot worse off today than we were yesterday. Looking on the bright side though, we now have 2 people that could slip up. I'm not sure that we are worse off today. What makes you think that we are "a lot worse off"? We have an almost cleared townie in RedSkeez. If we had to lose a town role on night 1, the nosy reporter with no real power, seems to be not sooo bad. And we now have 2 people who could slip up? This some how smells to me like you are happy to have some scummy company that can slip up instead of you. Are you staying quiet toDay so that you don't slip up again? Vote: Silver Jan

Uh.
When did I want the NR to out himself.
I said it was suicidal for Red to fake claim sheriff with the NR about.
I never said anything about the NR outing itself. And nice try but he/him tend to be default phrasing for things of an unknown gender.
And I pretty clearly explained why I wanted a no lynch, the quickvote came out after the sheriff claim as a way to avoid Red's lynch and on someone who's reason for voting red did not quite mesh with me and who then pulled a bandwagon vote on me parroting someone else.
I was kinda happy with my vote, then.

It looks as if Texcat is nitpicking, would you care to explain why 5 scum out of 15 players would be accurate, if I had made a slip surely I would have mentioned a more realistic number of scum? I am getting a bit sick of explaining this. I think we are worse off because we should now have 2 people that know who all the scum and would be scum are.

I'm not sure, I want to go back and look at everything he wrote but I won't be able to do it till a bit later. I don't want to vote for Tex just cos I am mad at him. It's definitely a FOS though.

That sounds like a scummy laugh to me. I know that the 10 people who have not yet voted can't all be pods, but it doesn't really help town to vote at the last minute. So I wouldn't blame scum for laughing about now.

So I wouldn't blame scum for laughing about now. totally agree. i wonder if the few of us who are particpating were to go after a lurker and just pile on what would happen. anyone could intialize some sort of random deal and the we just clobber them? fuck i still think inner is a good vote but i could certainly get on with something else. just not dirx at this point. andn inner i think it was zuma who posted to the main thread when he thought he was posting to the scum board. or maybe it was tdn. so yeh, drunk posting is definitely a scum tell. course that makes me scum for the last 40 or so years.

I'd like to hear from Drain. D1#1 - Confirmation D1#15 - asks Dirx to share his calculations on worst case scenario, comments about being math impaired. A veiled PIS accusation or idle curiousity? D1#21 - Votes Peeker, since no-one else had. Wrong, Sinjin had voted him first D1#53 - Votes Guiri, for pointing out PIS. Nice, easy policy vote, wrong again, Dirx had pointed it out. D1#88 - Unvotes, voted Dirx, in response to correction from TexCat Still a policy vote D1#101 - Comments on Peeker's vote on Red, thinks Red's post would very be scummy in a traditional game but not here. How? Red didn't suggest that Dirx made a slip of complicity, that was Peeker. D2#4 - Was away, missed end Day, needs to re-read. How's that re-read going? D2#25 - Wonders if we should lynch people we think were good recruitment possibilities. What do you think? Did you think Bill would have been a good recruitment possibility?

At the moment, I'm not super-pleased with any of the cases on anybody.
And in going back to examine sinjin's case on paranoia, which I thought might have merit, I stumbled upon something Inner said that's really bothering me, but apparently the thread's locked so I can't quote it. Grr.

NVM: Found it again and it was the infamous Cherry Bomb WTF post.
Do we give IS a pass for posting drunk?
in the interim:
Vote: paranoia ; I'm not as confident on the case, but unless I missed someone else's post he's the first to say the NR should claim.

Didn't say it was a scum tell. Said it was something in that post that was bothering me. After a re-read, am chalking it up to IS being drunk. Peeker: I'm sure mrs peek is perfectly lovely As far as Red; though he may have been sampled and on his way to the Gallows, I can think of reasons, given his role, he might have wanted to know who the NR was.

I'd comment more but frankly, I don't want to. I just finished a shift an hour ago and I have to get up in 5 hours to pull another shift so I'm not spending any more time here until tomorrow afternoon.

Did you think Bill would have been a good recruitment possibility?1. Idle curiosity. Just wanted to see the numbers crunched, since I'm generally terrible at that sort of thing. 2. I skimmed through a lot of D1. Busy week. Plus, speaking of drinking, I spent the latter half of it mostly drunk. Yay football. 3. Not sure what the problem is with policy votes when we have only one Scum and it's early D1. 4. I am not sure what you're saying about the Red/Peeker thing. I was responding to peeker, telling him that what in another game might appear to be Scummy was not at that point in time in this game. 5. Just now finished the re-read. Learned nothing new in particular that I didn't get upon my skim. 6. I think Bill would have been an excellent recruitment possibility, but he's dead now, so that clearly didn't happen. A question for you: what ELSE should we be going on right now? Is there a better option than trying to find recruits or aiming mostly blindly for the MPP? And what criteria should we use to figure that out? If I were the MPP, my first recruit would have been you. vote guiri[/color]

Can I find out what it is or are we being coy Today? Dude. COYote. That said: You said: here but then when contradicted by Dirx backed off this position. Therefore, I was already suspicious of you, because even before Dirx came in with his measured point-by-point I don't suppose I have to tell you my feeling on outing people before they "need" to be outed. And then in the "Cherry bomb WTF" post, you said, And this is the part of the post where I throw my hands up and say I don't know what bothered me about this, especially since I'm starting to wonder if you're not right and am looking with a jaundiced eye at both guiri and Drain Bead.
