Acting as separate from the town? What the hell?
Seriously, this is what I said:
Percy wrote:You may have just cost the town their vigilante. And you waited.... a full 7 minutes after Wulfy's post to hammer! And just after Artem is discussing optimal town strategy to deal with this situation as well.
"The town" is a faction in the game. How else could I have said what I said? I guess I could have said "You may have just cost
us our
vigilante", but is that really any different? Different enough for a vote?
I was trying to figure out a way to proceed more cautiously with the kirroha-kill, to make sure we didn't lose the vig (if she was actually just a stupid vig). It turned out not to matter, but the fact that the hammer was so damn quick while we were in the middle of discussing optimal strategy was worth calling out in the strongest possible terms.
Artem 223 wrote:Unvote
while we're thinking of a good strategy to deal with the vig claim. I'm not completely happy with any of the ones proposed, and I think a Kirr lynch may still be a viable play.
kirroha was then at L-2. _over9000 attempts to put her back on L-1:

vote: kirroha
...but the lack of unvote means the vote doesn't count. Now Wulfy posts:
Wulfy 225 wrote:Kirr <---Shouldn't be lynched. Mafia will definitely take care of the Vig/SK because both are very dangerous to them. Therefore, I feel no reason to worry about Kirr yet. Still, more thought on this is needed before we dedicate ourselves to any particular move.
Now Farkshinsoup wanted to go with the 'leave kirr alive' plan:

...but semioldguy points out:
semioldguy 229 wrote:kirroha has asked for replacement due to vacation/parents/time issues saying that she won't be able to post. She is in at least two other games currently with no mention of her vacation and no replacement requests there. She has even posted in one of those games within the last six hours and at multiple different times of day over the past three days and it appears that she intends on being active there.
I am going to go with "Lynch all Liars" and say we should get rid of her today.
Now this is a fair point, and fairly damning against kirroha. However, Pablo points out:
Pablo Molinero 230 wrote:Look out, semioldguy. I’ve seen that whole “ongoing games” rule bite the town in the ass before.
...and Artem's 233 involved quite a lot of thought as to how we should best proceed, including:
Artem 233 wrote:That means that leaving Kirr alive and asking her (or replacement) to shoot somebody (i.e., Percy's idea) is the best play.
Out of the blue, Wulfy votes for kirroha, and
seven minutes later
_over9000 hammers, both based on the "ongoing games" post made by semioldguy.
I was stunned - if kirroha was town, then that was the scummiest hammer ever, as I said at the time. Both Wulfy and _over9000 seemed to have not even read the thread. Neither really stated their reasons for voting and ignored the discussion that was going on, and just voted. She's flipped scum, but it was still anti-town play. I do not accept _over9000's contention that not stating your reasons for voting for someone is indicative of your towniness because "what scum would want to look scummy hammering scum", as it's pointless WIFOM and ignores the central issue - that no reasons were stated, and a hammer was performed when it was pretty clear that many players didn't want kirroha to be lynched, and had a
better plan
in mind.
Claims that I've done nothing to help the town are greatly exaggerated.
