Open 172 - Mini Love - GAME OVER!

[Vino]

Just the one. You'll find though that my general posting frequency is not high in it either, and we shouldn't really be talking about it since it is ongoing.

VOTE COUNT

Netlava (2): Vino, Yankee
Vino (1): Netlava

Not Voting (1): Nikanor

With 4 alive, it takes 3 to lynch.
2 is needed to lynch at deadline. Which is on December 8th.

[Netlava]

Yankee, what are the reasons for your change in stance?

[Netlava]

Also, the word "lurking" does not necessarily mean one is not genuinely busy, but simply a lack of posting.

[Yankee]

I already explained why, did you not see?

[Netlava]

The only so-called "explanation" I see is that you can't get a read.

[Vino]

I'm finally back from vacation.

Netlava don't you have something more constructive to say than this?

[Netlava]

Well, I'm waiting for Yankee quote this explanation that I've somehow missed so that I can address it.

[Yankee]

I have nothing to quote. I am trusting Nik's judgement on this since i cant tell which is which between the two of you and I know Nik is town. So your effort would be better placed in trying to convince Nik then me.

[Vino]

Where is Nik then?

[Netlava]

Earlier in the day you seemed pretty convinced that Vino was scum. So I'm just wondering what happened with the sudden change.

I hope you aren't swayed by Vino's appeal to emotion. The following 2 quotes are both appeals to emotion.

This pisses me off. Does anybody even want to read the remaining thoughts that I have about why I think Netlava connects well to SB and Looker, or does nobody even care?

I fail to see the logic behind any of this, and I'm saddened by the apparent lack of caring about any of the things I've said.

"Nobody cares about my case" is designed to evoke sympathy. Apparently, it may have worked somewhat as both Nikanor and Yankee said "I care," perhaps to be nice or something.

The following quote is a misrepresentation.

When there are flipped scum I always look for connections between them and other players, and Netlava connects rather well with Looker and Snow Bunny. It's a shame that the only people who actually did that were Battosai and Kirbyoshi, who aren't in the game anymore.

Battousai was clearly joking when he posted his scumlist, so including him is a misrepresentation of what actually happened.

Also, let's compare the case against Vino with the case against me:

The case against me is that I was bussing Looker (if that can be called a case). However, if I were scum, I wouldn't be so eager to bus from the beginning of the day, knowing the drawbacks of lynching the treacherous lover first. Vino, on the other hand, bussed Looker at the end of the day.

The next point against me is that I misrepresented Vino by calling him a lurker. Unfortunately, I complain about lurkers in every game, because it's important for the town to do so in order to get a read on them. Plus, a lot of scum have lied about how busy they were during the game. See Open 167 for example.

The next point against me is that I bussed snowbunny. I expressed by support for the snowbunny wagon before dramonic had voted. Either way, the word "bussing" can be applied to any townie who had been on a scum wagon.

The case against Vino is more than just blanket labels of "bussing" or "distancing."

[Netlava]

In any case your inquisition on Khamisa's votes was insightful but I think you were barking up the wrong tree.

Here Vino discourages the case against Khamisa. This happens at the very beginning of the game! There's no way a townie could make such a claim so early. There's no reason to be discouraging scumhunting either.

You on the other hand are acting scummier and scummier all the time.

This is a very arbitrary label.

[Yankee]

your case is solid, sorry for doubting you. Until I hear from Nik I am just going to

Unvote

Completely.

[Yankee]

By the way, when the heck is the deadline?

It's on the vote count at the top of the page - December 8th.

[Nikanor]

Sorry guys! I've been swamped at work. ):

I pick this one.

With 4 alive, it took 3 to lynch.

It was with some sense of finality that the villagers started talking. Vague suspicions were cast around with little confidence until the under-fire Netlava stood forward, hopped onto the statue and talked about his suspicions of Vino at length. The others began to nod slowly, and Vino started to back off worriedly.
Nikanor stepped away from the group and started muttering to himself. The others waited in silence as he mouthed unknown words to himself, a pointing finger moving between Vino and Netlava.
"You're right." He finally said, looking up, snapping out of his stupor and pointing his finger at Vino. "He's guilty."
"Yep." The villagers turned to the stricken Vino, who panicked and began to babble inanely. The townsfolk closed in on him, makeshift weapons held aloft. Suddenly, Vino's gaze hardened.
"BACK OFF!" In one fluid movement, he reached down and plucked out a small pistol concealed beneath his shirt. He aimed the gun widly, and the shot rang out across the square. Netlava ducked as the shot flew over his head, and it was Yankee who took the opportunity to deliver a sweeping blow with a shovel to Vino's knees, who let out a cry as he fell, firing the gun again, the bullet ploughing through nothing but thin air. The villagers crowded around the man's fallen body and made short work of him. There was no need to go searching. The villagers knew that the presence of the firearm confirmed their suspicions.

Vino, MAFIA GOON, has been lynched.

Finally

Thanks for playing, everyone!
I've really enjoying modding the game. I hope you're happy with the way I've handled the game and its modding. If not, feel free to give constructive criticism as to why.

I hope you've enjoyed playing as much as I have modding.

Feel free to discuss the game or whatever here.

[Nikanor]

Woooooohooooooooooooo!

[Yankee]

I am ok with QT being posted. And WTG TOWN! Woot Woot!

[Yankee]

@Mod - You are by far the best Mod I have played with thus far. I really enjoyed having the Vote Count at the top of every page, was very helpful.

[Nikanor]

I agree, great job modding mole! A very fun game, to be sure.

[Snow_Bunny]

Fun game. Shame we lose. T_T

Well played, town. I thought for a moment we could win.

[Yankee]

I am still very curious of what Animorv did claiming as a lover that was going to die..... what was his reasoning...

[Snow_Bunny]

I'm curious about that as well. You know what made the town win? The doc protecting Nik N1.

I told you guys! We should have gone for a different target!

[Nikanor]

Hehe. I'm just too dangerous for you.
