Lynch All Lurkers Mafia! GAME OVER

[Stephoscope]

Unvote Vote Xtoxm

That's the hammer.

[populartajo]

Told ya.

[roflcopter]

nice self hammer buddy

[Xtoxm]

Cheers. Thought it'd make you happy.

[roflcopter]

if antihero has straight flaked from the site he's going to need to be lynched sooner rather than later, even though i think brian mcq stands a much better chance of actually being scum.

[DrippingGoofball]

Cheers. Thought it'd make you happy.

Alignment?

[Xtoxm]

Take a guess

[DrippingGoofball]

Take a guess

I don't know. Tell me. You self-hammered because you say you're a distraction. Just spill the beans already.

[SpyreX]

...huh.

Normally I'd be cheering, but this move doesn't make ANY sense as scum or town in a game where lurking gives scum powers.

Sigh.

DGB, you think that if Xtoxm were scum, he would have self hammered?

[Xtoxm]

Haha I think i've made my alignment obvious enough. If you haven't figured it out yet you can wait for Yos or Ether to turn up. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise...

[DrippingGoofball]

DGB, you think that if Xtoxm were scum, he would have self hammered?

Maybe?

[Empking]

Why put a jester in this game?

[Xylthixlm]

One note: no lynching before everyone has posted. If both Antihero and BMQ end up passing the threshold, we'll have to use today's two lynches on them. Trying to rush so the whole day lasts less than 72h would hurt more than it would help.

I'm thinking that Antihero has either flaked or is pretending to (account seems like an alt), but I'll wait until it's official.

We can lynch xtoxm and one of the lurkers to end the day before lurker points come into effect.

I

really

don't want to have to rush the whole day to last under 72h.

[Xylthixlm]

... and I said that without having read the previous page.

Let's see how fast Ether/Yos show up, then ...

Wow, that lynch came out of nowhere... One potential problem now is that if both Antihero and BMQ are scum, neither will post before the deadline. If this is the case, we have roughly 32 hours to lynch one of them. I still advocate an Antihero lynch.

8 Xtoxm (SpyreX, roflcopter, Xylthixlm, elvis_knits, Empking, Stephoscope, DrippingGoofball, Xtoxm)

1 Antihero (image)
1 ortolan (populartajo)
1 populartajo (ortolan)

4 Unvote (Antihero, BrianMcQueso, MafiaSSK, q21)

15 alive; 8 to lynch.

Xtoxm died. ._. He was a vanilla townie.

It is now Day 2, Block 2. With 14 alive, it takes 8 votes to lynch. The votecount has been reset.

Brian is here, and reading.

NOT COOL

[Xylthixlm]

1. If you are part of an Uninformed Majority (
   i.e.
   Town) in a game I am moderating and contribute to your own lynch by self-voting, I will consider you modkilled for violating your Win Condition, absent other circumstances^*.
   
2. If you contribute to your own lynch by self-voting (absent other circumstances^*) and turn out to be pro-town, I will not knowingly play with you again.

QFT

Now, let's wait for Antihero to reach 72h, then lynch him.

[Stephoscope]

...wow.

Back to the drawing board.

Sorry, Xtoxm.

[BrianMcQueso]

@ Stephoscope: I don't enjoy being in a game with you. Every single one of your posts, you're being a jerk. I understand you're trying to hunt scum, but for all of our sakes, settle down. All of your thinking is extreme. All of it is single-minded. A lot of it is just plain insulting.

It's not

just

Steph, though. A lot of people are throwing around "this person is scum guaranteed" like it's fact. It's not. So many of you are SO SURE about

everything

you say, but there's no way you can be positive about someone's alignment unless you're scum.

Other than that, there really doesn't seem much else to catch up on. Everyone's still stuck in the same old beliefs. I don't feel like we're making any progress.

Brian McQueso - Scum. He's next. Seriously "Pardon my ignorance, but I'm totally confused by this zwet-wagon." Really? REALLY?

*sigh* Do you really want me to go over this

AGAIN

? Really?

[q21]

Xtoxm's lynch was disgusting. Unfortunately, it was also unavoidable once he'd asked to die. It gives us nothing, nothing at all to go on. All it gives us is a dead townie. That was honestly the most pathetic piece of play I've ever seen.

Moving on.

Mod, please prod Xtoxm, Antihero and Brian.

This post, more than anything else makes me think that potajo is town. Yos said in the rules post that prods would only be made on people who have already been inactive for 72h. I don't see a players of potajo's ability not being fully clued up on every rule to do with activity if he were scum in a game like this.

However, I'm not convinced of potajo's towniness either. Bussing is a possibility that explains both feelings, but it doesn't make much sense given the day one scum lynch.

Having your cake and eating it too. "poptajo might be scum, he might not, but either way ortolan is scum".

I hadn't actually thought of it quite like that, but you know what? You're right.

vote Ortolan

[SpyreX]

Xtoxm is now officially a policy lynch for me. That is absolutely ridiculous.

@Brian:

Yea, REALLY. My bad for not being here to call you out on the hyper-apologetic I-better-not-step on anyones toes PS vote Rofl post that has been a focus of your sparse, sparse posting.

And confidence isn't a scumtell. Far from it. I'd rather have confident and strong players who are absolutely wrong versus tenative ohh maybe gee I dont know I can go every direction players every time.

I'm pissed because xtoxm was scum. His PM may have said town but that business was scum through and through.

I need to parse q21's last post because it gives me the creepy feeling all through my bones. I cant decide what it means in the grand scheme of things however.

[DrippingGoofball]

Alright. I know you're all thinking that roflcopter "plays his town meta" but I think he's smart enough, and experienced enough now, to "play his town meta" as scum. It's still a point in his favor, but his meta is not a slam dunk proof of alignment.

Feel free to blame me when Malyss comes up town

i will be too busy blaming xtoxm

I believe that's what Xyl helpfully referred to as "setting up mislynches" a few pages ago.

(4) roflcopter didn't wait a few hours for Malyss to be prodded and to claim.

I pointed that out yesterday. I still believe that roflcopter rushed to lynch before allowing Malyss to claim. Sure. You all can dismiss it "oh but he's playing to his meta!!!" But he did hammer a townie before said townie had a chance to claim.

but dgb, if i was scum with antihero, wouldn't i be jumping at the chance to bus him?

how come your "scum always bus/never defend buddies" theory goes out the window when you can use it to pursue a case?

This is scummy. It's planting WIFOM. I wouldn't put it past roflcopter being scum with antihero. It's also a misrep; I never said that scum always bus. I do believe bus'ing is irresistible to scum under many circumstances, and that scum is more comfortable bus'ing each other, than defending each other.

Like zwet. What self-respecting scum wouldn't bus zwet really hard? I do believe that there is a high probability that this is what roflcopter did.

tajo results plox

your life hangs in the balance

Of course, roflcopter KNOWS that there's a high probability that tajo has been roleblocked, since tajo wasn't nightkilled. I believe that's what Xyl helpfully referred to as "setting up mislynches" a few pages ago.

I believe the day finished two or so hours before antihero was able to earn any lurker-points.

vote: populartajo

waiting for results also

Same here. And a vote

before

tajo claims his target. Ortolan knows the same thing that roflcopter knows: there's a high probability that tajo has been roleblocked, since tajo wasn't nightkilled. I believe that's what Xyl helpfully referred to as "setting up mislynches" a few pages ago.

My current scum team includes:

roflcopter
MafiaSSK (gah! LURKING IN PLAIN SIGHT FOLKS!!!)
ortolan
antihero (long shot)
