I'm going to fake-claim the shit out of this game.

vote elias

HIII LOWELLLL

I love you too.

Yeah take THAT. Last time you were scum, or I was scum, or something something. THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL!!!!

[Lowell]

No problem, once again apologies

any ideas on Skitzer, is a prod in order - probably not yet.

Let's all talk about skitzer more!

unvote, vote xenaroth

[Lowell]

Lowell shouldn't you be voting for me then?

Yeah maybe, who knows. I wasn't really paying attention.

[Lowell]

I saw it.

There's a difference between newbtown and newbscum. He strikes me as the latter.

[Lowell]

Calling attention to lurkers often signifies a reluctance to get in the fray. I think that could be what's happening.

If it makes you feel better, call it a hunch.

[Lowell]

unvote, vote byond birthday

to start a bandwagon.

[Lowell]

Millar gets Lowell's TOWNIE of the DAY award.

[Lowell]

Quick runthrough:

5- nabokov self-votes
10- xena votes nabokov for self-voting
16- nabokov unvotes
20s- Lowell and Elias argue about xena
32- skitzer votes xena for lurker comments [+]
38- nabokov votes lowell for xena vote
57- BB votes xena for being non-committal [+]
61- elias votes millar
62- ash votes millar
60s- elias and millar get hostile
74- simpor votes millar for being active in other games but not here
75, 77- millar requests replacement
80- millar retracts, votes elias for ad hominem [+, odd but townish]
84- awa gives quick run-through of characters [-, not particularly profound]
95- Lowell declares millar town
99- skitzer runs down the cast of suspects [+, decent]
100- as does AWA [+]

Thoughts:

Nothing much doing so far. I think

millar

is town, based largely (strangely) on posts 75, 77, and 80. At first I would have pegged him as a "I'm taking my ball and going home!" caught scum, but with his reemergence to the game I think he's town.

simpor

I could do without. The only thing he's done is show up to vote millar. The timing of his vote on millar doesn't sit well, as it came at the heart of the elias/millar vitriol. If the "town at large" were to try to take sides there, scum would be well served to get in early, which is what I think simpor might have been doing.

BB

and

elias

look very townish to me. What strikes me about this game is how little arguing anyone is doing. Mostly it's just people listing what they think of everyone (see: this post). BB and elias are the only ones really stirring it up. This is a credit to them.

xena

looks worse as time goes on. At first he spent a lot of time worrying about who was and who wasn't posting enough for his liking. That struck me as scummy, but would be fine if that's the kind of player he is (ie. overattentive). Since the game has settled down he doesn't seem to have anything else to say. It makes me think he was using metagame posts at the beginning because he didn't want to risk saying anything incriminating.

fos simpor

, and I'll go back to my original thought and

vote xena

[Lowell]

A lot of inactives right now...

[Lowell]

I'm back from jury duty. Will be able to post something tomorrow.

[Lowell]

Still haven't found time for runthrough. Apologies. For now I'll just say that 125 doesn't overwhelm me.

[Lowell]

unvote, vote ash

. I agree with elias. Let's just get something done.

[Lowell]

vote xena

. same as yesterday. there's not enough room for all these lurkers.

[Lowell]

People who fail at posting:
Millar, BB.

[Lowell]

Heh. Nice.

[Lowell]

People who fail at posting:
Millar, BB.

people who fail at making points relevant to the game: lowell

Millar's was better. More biting.

[Lowell]

I don't see what's wrong with a xena wagon here, other than Lowell brought it up.

[Lowell]

Yeah okay, a bandwagon is a bandwagon.

unvote, vote AWA

[Lowell]

Well we got a vote out of you, anyway. Even if it is a bit OMGUSy.

[Lowell]

unvote

. Not countering. I'm meh on the claim, but we'll go with it for now. Either way I'd say millar is almost certain town.

[Lowell]

@BB- summary post IS coming when I find the time. For now I'll say I don't much like the quickness with which you jumped to me at AWAs suggestion.

[Lowell]

Picking up from post 103, where I left off:

113- ash votes xena [-, parroting]
114- xena at L-2, responds to accusers [-, not overwhelming defense]
115- BB calls out xena
124- BB votes millar for being useless [-, expects from lowell, not millar?]
125- xena vote simpor for being a lurker
127- BB unvotes [-, bizarre]
132- skitzer votes simpor for not responding to questions
130s- millar and BB discuss "slip" [I don't see it]
140s- millar and BB argue over nothing
148- ash justifies suspicion of xena using lowell's post [-, why the protest?]
154- simpor requests deadline [+, strangely brave of him]
157- charter votes ash for post 113 [+]
158- BB votes ash, same reason [-, THIS IS WHAT HE COMPLAINED ABOUT]
161- skitzer joins ash wagon
167- nabokov votes ash, same reasons
168- millar avoids talking about ash [--, doesn't want to commit]
180- nabokov moved his vote to ash despite not thinking he's that scummy [+, good reason, actually]
185- millar votes charter for forgetting an FOS [-, the "gotcha" tactic is unappealing]
180s- millar/charter argue over "slip"
211- lowell votes missing ash to speed lynch
214- millar hammers ash [+, decent, gutsy]
217- nabakov killed by mafia
218- BB votes AWA for lurking
227- lowell votes xena
233- BB megaposts, votes millar
251- BB points out millar's asking for coaching [+, agreed]
252- charter votes AWA for being useless
254- non-defense defense by AWA
256- lowell votes AWA
257- AWA OMGUSs Lowell
263- BB votes AWA
264- millar votes AWA
265- AWA claims cop, votes millar
270- BB unvotes, votes lowell

Some town players:

Millar

is almost certainly town. Were AWA to fakeclaim, he'd probably not draw in another scummate to his claim. If Millar were to die first, AWA would be exposed. Besides, it's easier to win at least ONE town member's support that way. That said, I don't like millar's "gotcha" style of play. The two "slips" he thinks he found are both meaningless (130 and 185)

Upon reread,

AWA

looks like town. His lurking makes sense in context of him being a cop. It looks more like someone who has been playing the whole time as a powerrole, rather than a scum who tried to fit in, then at the last minute decided to claim a powerrole.

charter

. Yeah he looks clean so far. I've liked his entry into the game and his relative fearlessness.

elias

. I'd like more from him, but he seems on the level.

Some scum players:

BB

. He's been an opportunist all game. I especially don't like 115, where he calls out xena... yet doesn't vote. It came right after my long post accusing xena, and someone else's support of the xena case. Then he votes and unvotes Millar quickly, without any good reason. In 158 he votes ash quickly and without much explanation, even thought that was more or less WHAT ASH GOT IN TROUBLE FOR. The person before him said "I'm voting ash for parroting and being opportunistic" and BB followed with "me too! VOTE ASH!"

xena

. I have yet to hear what is wrong with this case. I outlined this in my previous PBP (103), and since that time he's disappeared, which is pretty much what the problem was in the first place. That and the link to BB aren't to his favor.

I realize there are some I've not placed. Not sure what to say about them.

[Lowell]

vote BB

. I'll happily lynch xena as well.

[Lowell]

Relax, charter, no one listens to millar.

Millar is the new Lowell.

[Lowell]

Now BB should die instead.

unvote, vote BB

. Asking for replacement is typical scum move, IMO. The "I'm frustrated with this" gives him cover when he's caught.

[Lowell]

I thought I was voting for xena before. Chill out.

[Lowell]

Still ready to kill BB. Let's get this moving one way or the other.

[Lowell]

Look more than 2 days without a post. Go this game!

Let's kill BB already.

[Lowell]

@millar- He already said he investigated you.

[Lowell]

^^^ this is a dumb thing to reveal.

[Lowell]

Figured. The lack of player interest and the loss of Mod... btw, I was town townie.

town townie! What a role! SUPERtown!

[Lowell]

not me either.
