hot persuit of no-good scum, yessiree (oh, move over, Flash, so I can drive!). Sorry about lack of activity recently. Have been busy, and, as noted before, my PR makes it a bit difficult to just dash off a quick post. Lucky for you guys, I've contracted conjunctivitis and have some unexpected time this afternoon.
To repeat - I'm somewhat inclined to believe Zwets' roleclaim - at least to the point that I'm interested in using lynch and discussion on stuff other than 'I believe his claim' 'well, I don't!' 'I do, so we should lynch Player Y' 'No, Zwets' roleclaim isn't to be believed!' 'but I think it is!' etc. I
do not
want him alive near endgame. That means we'll either have to hope any availible Vig shoots him or, failing that, we lynch him before a LYLO scenario.
The most interesting thing, as I reread and such, is (obviously) the Zwets/Santos situation.
Santos claims that his Role PM mentions Zwets, specifically, as an alien.
Santos wrote:Also, even if zwet is death miller, we won't know until the end of the game. So lets try and be optimistic when we see that he turns up scum and we can go into the night with higher thoughts as opposed to making a mistake in lynching a verified townie.
Something about the tone of this post is giving me bad vibes.
Anyway, Santos claims that he's a pro-town lyncher and his character doesn't trust Zwets, am I right? On that topic, I firmly agree with EmpTyger's
151. So now . . . we have a claimed Lyncher (non-Town) and a claimed Death Miller (pro-Town, if you believe him, which I'm somewhat inclined to do, though not through the end of the game, as above).
But besides that, I'm much less inclined to believe Santos' claim anyway. As Slicey has said, it doesn't make sense for Lyncher-Santos with Lynchee-Zwets to unvote him with 24 hours to Lynch. At all. But Zwets begging to get lynched and Santos begging to lynch Zwets - there's something fishy I can't put my finger on. Worst-case scenarios involved Jesters or scum gambits, but I can't think of anything specific regarding my paranoia that will help the town, so cutting that off right here.
I'm already voting Santos
. Looks like that early suspicion might have had something to it (and, as you know, that doesn't always happen).
I endorse the lynch-Santos-let-the-Vig-kill-Zwets-if-we-have-a-Vig-who-is-so-inclined (I endorse the Vigging of Zwets but feel that as he's claiming such and asking for death, a Vig kill is preferable to using another day arguing about lynching him). Santos is almost certainly lying scum or anti-town Lyncher; Zwets I think likely Death Miller, plausible he's scum, in multiple WIFOM messes. Cleaning it up a bit will do the town some good.
The number of votes on Santos: I want this
higher
, I want it mean, I told you
higher
now I
mean
higher
. Do you understand higher?
