Yes Hal, that's what I've been trying to point out! Read my posts. Sure enough...I found the post where she said it originally (sorry...my boss called, so unfortunately the game had to be put on hold)... Ahhh, damnit...I that "the post" is supposed to have the link I copied, but I lost the C&P while doing work stuff...damnit! Well, if anyone is curious, it was...ummm...Post #89 for today, I believe.

Another whose tone strikes me as odd on a similar level is Idle Thoughts. His posting style seems very different to me than it did in M3. Did you read what I said in Day Two about not basing behavior from past games in current ones? I mean if you must reference to them, at least have it be something solid or not using it to mark anyone. I don't think I'm any different in this one as I was in that one. The difference is, this one still has a lot of other players in it. In the other, I felt more comfortable getting most posts in and more aggressive as the game went on and there were fewer players. First of all, I don't agree with not looking at behavior in previous games. I still have an image in my mind of what to expect every time I see the a post with the name " Idle Thoughts" next to it. In my mind, I have a certain tone associated with it, and the knowledge of what your role was. I won't use that as a basis for incriminating you, nor even an FOS. However, being human, I cannot forget that impression and it DOES draw my attention to you in an unsubtatiable way. We're human, and we CAN'T ignore that, so we might as well be honest with ourselves when it creates a prejudice toward crewmanship or pirateness.

Alright, less than an hour to go before lights out, me thinks.
I'm not seein' the Hal Briston thing. What was his pirate mark? Misinformation? It be seemin' to me that thar be leagues of clues but death the only way to connect 'em. At this rate we're gonna be runnin' low on crewmates though, and I for one aint doin' double duty.
My vote on Hacky Sacky, yarr, Hockey Monkey shall stand. His shit-flinging ways are doing nothing but trouble, and I dont see a better target atm. The only other bilge rats my eye be on are Zuma and Gadarene. However, I think Zuma's posting style is the core of that, and as for Gadarene, my gut thinkin' he's bein' a wee bit too helpful-like.

Because I was protown in that game (as you now know) and I'm protown in this game (as you will eventually find out). So therefore I don't think it's in people's best interest to base suspicions on past games. Do you honestly think I'd play every game the same? Don't you think I might change it up a bit? And that only being under the guise that you DO sense something different, which me, I don't. I'm not posting as much, true...but again, I didn't in the other game until there were less and less people. So I don't get it. How do you want me to act? What are you expecting of me? If you're really crew, then I'd advise you to take a step back and reconsider that I may not be playing the exact same in every game but still be on the side of good. I understand what you're saying about human nature. But sometimes it can be wrong too.

I don't think Blaster is talking so much about doing it on a concious level as an unconcious one.
The trick is that even if it's a natural reaction (which I agree that it is), you've got to fight though it. There are plenty of players here that I know were town in M3, so when I see them post here, I often have to give myself a little "don't take their word as gospel" pinch when I read their posts.

That last second unvoting was odd.I am stcking with my vote for Hal even though the beast wagon is rolling and I would gladly hop aboard...if I didn't think Hal was more scummy at this point. Then when AZ caught Hal Briston tripping up,coupled with my earlier suspicion of him in this Day,I thought that was a good reason to switch over to Hal. <snip> My vote will stay with Hal though, for now. And that the fact that he was straight-up incorrect when he "caught me tripping up" doesn't do anything for you, huh? Interesting.... Where is the proof that it was incorrect?Correct me if I am wrong,but all I saw as 'proof" was you saying it was incorrect twice. Ok, let's recap any possible explanation for suspicions against me: -- Voted/unvoted too quickly on Day Two. Explained above...When someone subs in and makes an uninformed vote, you'd rather it stick? -- Got caught in blatant lie by AZ. Blatantly untrue, and proven as such. -- Dresses poorly, questionable hygieneOk, got me there...whaddayawant, we're supposed to be at sea.. Your uninformed vote was bandwagony wasn't it? When called on it you quickly retracted it and decide to vote for nobody.Scummy. Keep in mind, Swine, that voting third is an accepted scum tell...pushing for a lynching after a completely reasonable explanation is made is an even bigger one. I am well aware that the dreaded third vote is a scum tell,and it is more for newbies who don't know that.I however did know that as it was a big topic of discussion in WWI.I was also aware that I was casting the third vote for you and can't believe you brought it up.That is more of a scum tell than my vote. Hal is scum, IMHO.

Shiver me timbers, I missed Zuma's role claim! That whoreson wheevil shagger, no good can come of such knavery.
I'm gonna 'strain me head and think about this logically. There be two options: he is or he 'aint. Let's take a looksy, shall we?
1) He is: He's a prime target, and will probably get offed somehow.
2) He aint: He's lying to save himself, which will distract attention away from more important matters.
Both options are terrible, but in any case I dont think he's scum. 'e would have to be madder than a salted herring to try to pull that wool over our eye patches.

Unofficial, of course, but here's how I see us standing at the moment:
5 -- auntbeast (hockeymonkey, panamajack, NAF1138, ArizonaTeach, Blaster Master) 4 -- hockeymonkey (autolycus, FlyingCowOfDoom, diggitcamara, auntbeast) 2 -- Hal Briston (Lakai, MadTheSwine) 2 -- Lakai (Hal Briston, Gadarene) 1 -- Autolycus (capybara) 1 -- NAF1138 (Idle Thoughts)

And what's with this round of musical votes that you and zuma were doing with Hal in the last few minutes? This makes both of you look very shady in my eyes. Added since it happened in the time that I was composing this: AND NOW it was all for naught as you unvoted him again and vote now, for Auntbeast! And on that note.. *stripped color*Vote NAF1138 *stripped color*,by far. I think it's fairly obvious to everyone here what we were doing, Idle. What I see you doing is attacking pro-town players for pro-town moves. vote: Idle Thoughts

Where is the proof that it was incorrect?Correct me if I am wrong,but all I saw as 'proof" was you saying it was incorrect twice. S'ok...I've obviously missed things before, so I'll be happy to explain this one out for you: 1: I mention reading about AZ's role claim toDay. 2: AZ says no one has mentioned the role claim toDay, therefore I must've seen it on your scum board. 3: Bandwagon ensues. 4: I point out Idle Thoughts' post from earlier toDay -- "Anyway a few things of what our self-proclaimed Capt S says:" 5: Claim that I must've seen it on your scum board collapes, bandwagon soon follows. Except, you know, for scummy voters. Your uninformed vote was bandwagony wasn't it? When called on it you quickly retracted it and decide to vote for nobody.Scummy. Gotcha...duly noted: "When you make a mistake, don't fix it, lest you be declared scummy". I am well aware that the dreaded third vote is a scum tell,and it is more for newbies who don't know that.I however did know that as it was a big topic of discussion in WWI.I was also aware that I was casting the third vote for you and can't believe you brought it up.That is more of a scum tell than my vote. So...your defense there is "Telling about scum tells is a scum tell!"?

How do we/I know you're pro-good? What, your role claim? How do I (or anyone for that matter) know you're not lying about that?
I'm expressing misgivings in believing you fully and you vote for me? Yeah, that's a way to get out of it...

I understand what you're saying about human nature. But sometimes it can be wrong too. I understand and agree with your points. It would be best if we could look at each game one at a time. But my point is, I could say " Idle Thoughts looks suspicious to me, but I can't put my finger on it" or " Idle Thoughts is suspcious to me, and it's because of this difference". I'm not expecting you to do anything, per se, only pointing out what I see, and why. In that, it's enough reason to look closely, but certainly not enough to hang anyone on, even if we have no other leads (unlikely as that would be).

Finally, in case I don't make it through the night.
I'm now realizing that I did make a mistake on night 2. I think if I were a pirate, I'd want FCOD or Arizona to die. I didn't think things through clearly enough. They'll be on my potential watch list.
The reason I'm convinced Pleonast is town stems from the fact that he was the only person I knew I could trust in M2, and his posting style and actions in this game are one hundred percent consistant with his play as a mason in M2, so obviously he'll be on my watch list as well.
Finally, I have a feeling capy and I are pretty sure each other are town based on our mutual defense of each other.
If Pleonast or Capy ever come under suspicion, please keep that in mind.
I have 4-5 others on my watch list and I'll be choosing randomly.
As far as scum go, I'm having a hard time coming up with anything, altho Idle is pinging my scumdar lately.
Let's hope for the best and hopefully I can get some more information tonight's investigation.

Time!
Just when it all looked up for Hal Briston, a late intervention by Auntbeast and some hasty filibustering tied up the sunset vote. After another heated argument someone drew attention to the breeze that was getting up, and hands made haste to shorten sail. But first they brought up a loaded pistol and emptied it into the chief suspect of the moment. Admittedly it was hardly a unanimous verdict nor even an overall majority, but there was work to be done.
Auntbeast (Crew) has been shot. Day Three is over. It is Night. PMs to me please.
