I hadn't realized pfishcher was voting norinel.
Meaning that you refuse to vote for the same person I have voted for, albeit randomly?

I agree. Let's go to sleep or go to work. I stand by my vote.

Kerplunk wrote:This post seems to me like he wants to say, I don't post much because I already have a good candidate. But it's a random vote and he never explained his reasons for keeping his random vote. And then he votes for Yoko because of 'a fishy feeling'. Maybe I'm reading to much into this... but
unvote: Norinel
,
vote: pfischer
.

And, yes, this is an attempt to get shift attention from Yoko and present a better candidate; because Yoko isn't scum.
Hmmm, that's deep, man ;) But no, that wasn't what I wanted to say. And you might read a lot into "fishy feeling" - to me it means "I am not really sure here". What are the reasons for Yoko being so active? Is he just a nice guy who wants the game set in motion? Or is there something more, shall we say "fishy", behind it all? I don't know. You are willing to take the risk, I was inclined not to.

I'm clean. :)
If trying to poke a bit at the fire to see what happens ends up getting yourself killed, who else can you blame than yourself?

Believe me, it would be a mistake to kill me off. Look into your heart.

Fact is, Yoko and me are up with nooses around our necks because we have been speaking out. That's a crime.
You are making a mistake - enjoy it as long as it lasts ;)

So, your hunch is better than my fishy feeling? Take that for crap logic. I think you are trying to get me lynched and make it look as if I am the bad guy. I am not. If you are not scum, you played your cards really crappy.

I withdrew my vote on Yoko because I listened. And Yoko confirms he wants to kill me off. And
I
am supposed to be scum? My fishy feeling is not enough on Yoko, but I am sure about Kerplunk. He is out to get us.

And he also introduced me to crap logic. I'll say that was crap logic. At least I stated it was a fishy feeling and didn't try crap logic.

I haven't said I know you want to kill me off. I already explained that I was convinced by others that a fishy feeling alone wasn't enough to vote for you, and withdrew my vote. But for some reason that has made you even more hostile. What happened?

And the day I jump around scared, I'll let you know ;)
(but I'd like to point out that you and Kerplunk start to sound like one person. Why exactly am I suspicious? Come on, no crap logic this time)

So, which one is it?
Ah, I see what you mean. I meant that Yoko confirmed his vote for me (being a newbie, I am not sure when you use confirms, but voting for me must mean Yoko would at least not protest against me being lynched).
I haven't actually said Yoko wants to kill me off, have I? Maybe Yoko's voting is part of a deeper strategy ;)

Yoko Kurama wrote: Well my point behind this post is so you might be able to give me a reason why I shouldn't believe you are mafia.
If my initial vote on you was some secret signal that I was scum, I am sorry to have confused things by not knowing.

I can see that I am getting out in double-double reverse psychology here, but wouldn't it be pretty stupid of me to hold up a sign saying "Hey! Over here! I am scum!", even if I was, which I am not?

So, please give me a chance to be on the side of the good guys :)

Er, I have to ask what FOS stands for, not just because it relates to me, but I don't know.

OK, everybody is silent, so I'll put my head (neck?) out.

I can understand why I am the FOS guy, and at the moment I haven't a clue as to who are my friends and who are scum. I can't believe that I hand a hand in getting our cop lynched, I'm sorry, I was wrong, so wrong.

Trouble is, if you guys go ahead and send me to the gallows, I am afraid the game's up, but I can't say I have an idea how to proceed.

I figured that out myself ;)

What I meant was you might have a suspicion, a hunch, fishy feeling, crap logical conclusion, whatever, as to who you think are bad/good guys.

I just haven't at the moment. I had, I was utterly mistaken. I don't even dare pointing my finger at anyone, less mention their names...

Yoko, I think that my newbie argument was a while ago (unless you argue that experienced players cannot be confused and in doubt), don't let it be your mantra, because I was not trying to invoke it again.

The reason the mafia didn't kill me is that I am in the direct firing line anyway. That way they get three hits for one's price - we bump of our cop and then me, plus the townie that was killed last night - and bingo. You can read through the thread as many times as you like, it won't change this fact. On this note, I guess I can't even blaim you other townies if you vote me off - it's kind of logical, but unfortunately based on my initial quick voting based on a fishy feeling. Too bad.

I had a fishy feeling about Yoko, but I am not certain anymore. The other people left have been quiet, so maybe the tactics is to kill off the blabbermouths first, but so far I haven't got any real reasons to vote for anyone (except for myself if I use your logic ;)

Bloojay, you might want to justify this outburst - otherwise people might be falling over you.

You cast the first stone, exuse me: vote.
Why?

OK, I'll dare some speculating here. Araltain could have finished me off Day 1, but thankfully he didn't.

So, if I assume that Araltain is not scum (and that's the only thing I have at the moment), then that leaves Yoko and Bloojay, because they were the two others voting for me Day 1. The third was Kerplunk and he was a townie, and is sadly now dead.

Yoko and Bloojay have also not voted for each other or suspected each other. I don't know, what do you guys say?
