[Haylen]

Right then guys! Lets Party!!!



You can expect general irresponsibility of me, and I expect general irresponsibility of you Now get to it!

Also, I like blue, please dont use this specific colour. You wont be modkilled if you do of course, I just like to keep a track of where i've posted ect and it makes it easier for other players to know who is who ^.^

Lots of Love,
Hayl xxx

[Haylen]

PS. Please don't refer to me as 'Mod' it's too formal for me, just call me Hayl or Haylen, I don't mind either. Oh, and can you do me one tiny favor and put votes on a new line? It's easier to spot =)

[TheLonging]

DTM thinks I am scum because I think Goro hasn't contributed.

DTM again: Yes I have been following the game, but I must have missed the reasons for WHY he said Lacey was town.

I can wait for him to post etc., but I don't really like the play regardless.

Unvote

For the record, I find both Lacey and farside town

[Sando]

As far as who I believe to be scummy so far, Thelonging voting for GoroHonda isn’t super scummy, but it’s awkward because he’s essentially voting on 2 posts that mean nothing until Goro elaborates as to why he’s being so useless. Lol.

This is pretty scummy, in answer to your own question of who you think is scummy, you say that 1 particular person 'isn't super scummy'. No commitment to scumhunting at all.

There's a difference between scumhunting and looking scummy while doing it, and looking scummy because you're not scumhunting.

Whatever you say boss. Calling me scummy isn't going to force me to have any stronger reads than I already have. So pressure me all you want, you're not going to force me to make a commitment I don't feel comfortable making.

Yikes, over-react much? I say that you're not actually scumhunting, and you respond by agreeing, claiming it's not scummy in your case, then saying that you're going to scumhunt without worrying about looking scummy?

Oh, and you're still not scumhunting, just pre-emptively whinging that everyone sees you as scummy. Seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy there...

I agree on Spring, is simply re-iterating the points made a couple of pages back and not actually attempting to scumhunt.

Unvote, Vote: Spring

[CSL]

Just to let you know that flavor is up at every votecount.

[Kmd4390]

Farside, gut is a perfectly valid reason to suspect someone. Spring is another good choice though.

[The Quintastic One]

Oh, and you're still not scumhunting, just pre-emptively whinging that everyone sees you as scummy. Seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy there...

Still don't care. I'm analyzing posts, keeping notes in my head on who's actions I believe to be scummy. I have a few people I'd like to vote for, but those situations are already done and discussed, and trying to bring them back to the table will either make me look scummy (what a surprise) or anti-town (due to potential tunneling and not willing to let subjects be dropped).

If you think my posts are a self fulfilling prophecy of scumminess then vote for me. Otherwise stop badgering me. I'm going to play this game at my pace, not yours.

[Gheb]

For the record, I find both Lacey and farside town

I'm more concerned with people who haven't been very vocal in this discussion. A discussion as long and as vocal as the Lacey / farside / kmd thing is on the one hand pretty productive because people take stances, give us something to work with and help to find scum. Out of these people I find farside to be particularily town, kmd and lacey are also town for me because they have made legitimate efforts to find scum. So far I think none of these 3 people shoud be considered a play for toDay.

On the other hand it's also an invitation for scum to stay unnoticed especially when we assume that the whole discussion has been TvTvT. Spring and Goro are both guilty of this and I still consider them the top suspects and best lynches.

[farside22]

Farside, gut is a perfectly valid reason to suspect someone. Spring is another good choice though.

Gut is good enough for me to vote but hard to prove in mafia. Reasoning, slips, comments made. So far DTM is being analytical in his comments which is just a red flag to me as it's against what I saw last game.
Plus when he answers a question I can't for the life of me figure out what he is referring to.

[CSL]

Hi. This is your regular mod speaking. Haylen isn't online, and GoroHonda flaked. Normally I would be saying that I need a replacement, but someone graciously offered to claim his spot.

yellowbunny replaces GoroHonda.

And with that, I'm off. See you all in 6 hours!

[yellowbunny]

Hello everyone (especially familiar...er...faces)! Just checking in...I have to get caught up on reading before I post anything meaningful.

[yellowbunny]

I had a little time to read so I'm up through the end of page 3.

So far, despite Lacey's protests to the contrary, I think she was waffling on her KMD vote.

Also, Gheb's post 70 bugs me. In response to Lacey's regression, you wrote:

Nobody is interested because it doesn't help us to find scum.

I fail to see how knowing your odds hurts town. After all, votes are nothing but educated guesses, and I don't see how it doesn't help to factor in the current odds of winning? Seems a bit off to me...

[yellowbunny]

Will keep reading...I'll get caught up asap...

[Gheb]

When did I say it hurts town? I said it doesn't help us to find scum. Maybe it

can

indirectly help us somehow but that's not an avenue of discussion worth nudging.

[Haylen]

Flavor

Suddenly, all the clamor vanished, as the students walked away. Maemuki had stayed, still kneeling at Haylen's body, still sobbing. UncertainKitten walks to her, and encourages her to stay strong, that all will be right in this world eventually. Maemuki stands up, and together, they walk on by. Meanwhile, spring hasn't moved in a while. Is she ok? Everyone hopes she responds soon, and more lights on her podium spring up.

With 12 alive, 7 will lynch

~ Hi bouncy bubbly octopus , Hi farside, Hi Yellowbunny. I believe I know you. If I dont, wth?
~ I hate this vote count format. Yes, CSL nicked it from me, but it's only appropriate for large game
~ People with children, must keep and eye on them around claw grabbing arcade machines, you know, the ones where you use the joystick to try and pick up a toy. I read a newspaper article about a 2 year old who climbed up the bit where the toys come out and got stuck on the inside. True story.

[CSL]

Haylen is still covering you all, but MY LORD! Where did all the enthusiasm go?

[TheLonging]

Nice vacation CSL

Anyways

Vote: Springlullaby

I didn't see why people voted for him at first but then I realize he didn't post most of the game and provided nothing for when he posted. Did he replace someone or was he here from the start?

[CSL]

Actually, I left about 20-till 10, and just came back. I leave again in a few hours for 4 hours.

Haylen is offline now, so it looks like I am back in the saddle. Will update Hayl's vc with a flavortext thing.

[CSL]

Let me go check who needs prods. If at least two do, deadline moves closer three days. I know at least one does!

[Kmd4390]

Unvote, Vote Spring

[CSL]

Fongoid will be prodded. You lose NO days.

Deadline is March 29th, 2010; @ 4pm EST. Failure to reach a majority will cause the game to go to night with no one taking the plunge!

[DTMaster]

Um at work right now so I'll post a full response when I get back home.

@CSL
Are you allowed to do that still? :S I know you're already being nicer with your deadlines, however, it is still the weekend.

[CSL]

It was a joke. I was just messing around. Nothing would've happened anyways. lol.

[farside22]

*waits for spring to offer more*
yellowbunny needs to finish before I can come to any conclusion from him
DTM: Can you please quote next time what question your answering or commenting when posting as you do. I find trying to go back and see what your talking about as sometimes difficult to down right confusing, especially looking at my question and not see your answer as fitting.

[yellowbunny]

*waves back to Haylen*

Also...I should have done this when I first posted, and I'm still not done reading yet, so

unvote

@Farside: I'm a her not a him.

When did I say it hurts town? I said it doesn't help us to find scum. Maybe it can indirectly help us somehow but that's not an avenue of discussion worth nudging.

Saying something "doesn't hurt" is a figure of speech. My point is that it seemed odd that you wanted to shut that conversation down.

Okay, impressions up through end of page 6 now:

Meanwhile kmd is all ready to end the day now before replacements have even weighed in. This is very anti-town, and if he keeps this strategy I say we take him on his offer of a trade. Lynch me today, and when I flip town, lynch him tomorrow.

Above seems odd, after all her talk on differentiating between anti-town and scummy behaviors. Also, aren't you implicitly calling him out for being rash here, and I'd say you are guilty of the same thing.

Oh god, Lacey's being attacked. Let me see where this started

What was the point of this post?

Also, TheLonging, my feel of your play up til here is that you are actively lurking.

Also, Gorohonda, my predecessor, made extremely weak posts (Post 116 & 118) - kudos to farside for calling him out on it (post 120)

Anywho...I gotta run...I'll try to get all caught up by this evening.
