Lynch All Lurkers Mafia! GAME OVER

[Xylthixlm]

Do we lynch tajo now?

Signs point to yes.

Aren't you surprised that I went from wanting to kill you, back to "let's lynch tajo"?

I was assuming you did a reread or something and realized I'm obv town.

[elvis_knits]

You're not obv town. I just figured you wouldn't go for the nolynch/nokill thing if you were scum.

I mean, maybe you did it to earn town points or because you were on the block, but I lean more toward you actually being town.

8 alive; 5 to lynch.

[Xylthixlm]

I don't really buy that logic... I mean, populartajo voted nolynch too. But it does clear Kinetic who suggested nolynch in the first place.

I'll believe you (elvis) think I'm town on gut and are looking for a logical reason, though.

[elvis_knits]

tajo voted nolynch, but I think he was the last to do so. That's what I would expect scum to do, vote nolynch to get town cred when you think you have no choice.

[elvis_knits]

I'll believe you (elvis) think I'm town on gut and are looking for a logical reason, though.

You're kind of right on this though.

I have felt you were town on gut most of the game. I guess it's just the tone of your posts and the way you don't seem to run from responsibility for your actions... that strikes me as non-weaselly.

However, your actions associated with known scum look bad, which made me suspicious yesterday.

Didn't notice the thread open, reading now...

Alright: A No Kill means one of 3 possible scenarios played out:

1) There are three scum left and they didn't want to lower the pool of players. This could mean many things, but overall it is a null-to-scum tell (very slightly) on Pop, who was the center of lynches yesterday.

Reasoning: The pool is still large enough, scum want to keep their options open in a game like this which is either at or close to LyLo. No matter Pop's alignment, killing or not killing will have similar effect on peoples view of Pop. Killing could help scum pop, but that is iffy, but if Pop is town there is little that killing or not killing will do.

On the other hand, if Pop is scum there is also a pretty good advantage to not killing as it leaves the most suspects available, but still leaves the game in technical LyLo if 3 scum are alive.

Thus, looking in the short run, the no kill is a null tell, but in the long run the no kill is a slightly scummy act. If Pop flips scum expect major bussing for town cred on her wagon.

2) There are 2 scum left and the scum are trying to play a craps game.

Basically as I outlined previously if there are 2 scum left their best play was to make a kill. However, the better play for scum with 3 alive was not likely to kill.

If we lynch town twice today, unless the scum have multiple night kills we still end up at WORST in LyLo tomorrow. No killing for a 2 scum group is VERY risky here, and why I don't think they would have done it. If they did, well, its a gamble that they would only play if they were SURE they have at least one confirmed player among their roster.

3) Empking blocked the kill, and thus, either scenario has possible chance, with an increased likelihood of 2 scum.

I listed the possibilities in order of likeliness. We need to play like there are 3 scum alive, that means we have 2 chances to hit scum where yesterday we only had 1. By no lynching we have GREATLY increased our chances of hitting scum.

Either way, we have to act like we are in LyLo, for both lynches.

O cute. I'm a giant target now. >>

[Xylthixlm]

MafiaSSK and Stephoscope have not posted since the start of day.

[Stephoscope]

I'm around. I've been re-reading looking for clues and trying to ensure everyone's speculations make sense...and I figure we're kind of waiting for tajo to get back anyway.

[ortolan]

I don't see Kinetic as

confirmed

town.

Can we lynch tajo already?

[Xylthixlm]

vote: Tajo

Squirm, scum, squirm

[Kinetic]

Posting now to reset timer, I will be out of reach all day tomorrow.

[Empking]

How long has this thread been open?

[Xylthixlm]

Thread has been open 41.5 hours.

[ortolan]

Good point, where's Mr. Mason?

[Stephoscope]

Good point, where's Mr. Mason?

There has been no activity in the mason thread since daybreak, for whatever that's worth.

[MafiaSSK]

Sorry. Computer fried. I now have to use one with very weak internet access. But I don't see a reason not to lynch tajo unless it's the other unlikely 2 reasons that Kinetic posted

Vote tajo

[Xylthixlm]

Hallelujah! He posts!

[ortolan]

and votes tajo, even better

[Empking]

Sorry. Computer fried. I now have to use one with very weak internet access. But I don't see a reason not to lynch tajo unless it's the other unlikely 2 reasons that Kinetic posted

Vote tajo

For something said was a "mild scum tell"?

[elvis_knits]

Im sorry about my activity in all my games. V/LA until the 2nd.

Just PLEASE dont lynch me.

Oh where oh where can my tajo be?

[ortolan]

It's not like Empking to be so confident in someone else simply because they are also a claimed power-role.

[populartajo]

Reseting lurker time.

Still busy. Tonight.

Just do me a favor, lets say you all finally lynch me. When I come up town, who will you suspect and why? Just to feel you are doing the right here.
