Mini 942: Gonzo Mafia - Game Over!

[hohum]

Fine. I'll rephrase.

You would sooner play to do... what ever the fuck it is you're doing right now than to catch scum.

[VP Baltar]

When I got about halfway up the stairs I stopped and raised both hands. "Don't worry!" I shouted. "Police!"

He shuddered and fell back, saying nothing. His eyes were huge and a shudder ran through his body as I approached. "No problem," I said to him. "Just routine police work." I flashed my gold

Special DEA Agent

badge at him, then reached out to shake hands, but he moaned suddenly and leaped away...and as he collapsed awkwardly on the cold marble floor I saw that his left ankle was encircled by a heavy steel band that was strapped to a black box.

Fine. I'll rephrase.

...and what are you basing that on? It should not be

that hard

to see what I'm saying in plain English - that I find two people suspicious and can't go after both at the same time.

@Zachrulez: So who's scum?~~

[Zachrulez]

@Zachrulez: So who's scum?~~

At this point, Hohum's Reckoner vote looks pretty weak, and contrary to what I would expect from his play.

No one else has really done anything that seems worth noting.

Your play is aggravating, but pro-town.

I'm also pretty happy with my Locke vote at this point given the sum of his activity at this point. I'd like to see him get more involved in the game.

[ekiM]

Vi, are you going to be posting `in character' all game?

[hohum]

@Zachrulez: So who's scum?~~

At this point, Hohum's Reckoner vote looks pretty weak, and contrary to what I would expect from his play.

It's early still. I'll either lose interest in him and move on or build my case.

[Locke Lamora]

Zach: you think my activity in the first 24 hours of this game has been scummy/unacceptable? What exactly do you expect from hohum?

[Zachrulez]

Zach: you think my activity in the first 24 hours of this game has been scummy/unacceptable? What exactly do you expect from hohum?

Your activity over the sum of the first 24 hours consisted of a random vote, and a question to another player, but little else.

Given the differences between your activity level in tweed mafia and Sigma's mini normal game. It is something I find worth watching. (Plus a better place for my vote isn't really screaming out at me.)

Hohum comes across to me as an aggressive player. His approach to Reckoner has felt contrary to that. (Though his follow up posts are more characteristic, which is why my vote hasn't moved.)

[Locke Lamora]

I'd say it's quite common for me to start a game like that regardless of alignment.

So your issue with hohum's vote was that it wasn't aggressive enough for town-hohum?

[Zachrulez]

I'd say it's quite common for me to start a game like that regardless of alignment.

So your issue with hohum's vote was that it wasn't aggressive enough for town-hohum?

That's pretty much it, yeah.

[hohum]

I think he would have preferred it if my random vote had contained some off color references to race, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs.

Either that or he's just trying to justify a stupid attempt to snipe.

[Zachrulez]

Anyway...

Unvote: Vote: Sotty7

One random vote, one question toward me, (That feels like it's buddying up to Vi.) and no scum hunting. Her play feels off to me.

[Sotty7]

Eh it's the start of the game, I was finding my feet. Questing is how I do that.

Right now I don't see your RVS vote as scummy as Vi seems to find it. I was wondering what your point was about "you're clutching at straws" but your right she could be voting Hohum. But I see Vi just being Vi, she's like a dog with a bone when you're in her sights. I don't find it scummy.

What do you think of flinter Zach?

Do you think Hohum is scum for saying that?

With profound, 100% confidence unheard of before on this site... Probably.
I would be voting hohum right now, but I think my interview with the prestigious winner of the Most Contrived Random Vote award is still worth keeping on schedule.

I've noted the fact that you would sooner play to maintain your status than to catch scum.

Hohum trying to make out that Vi doesn't find Zach scummy is bizarre. From that post it looks like Vi has two suspects, Zach and hohum.

Fine. I'll rephrase.

You would sooner play to do... what ever the fuck it is you're doing right now than to catch scum.

What makes you think Vi isn't scum hunting with her push on Zach?

Unvote, Vote:Hohum

flinter, why no vote yet?

[Zachrulez]

Now that you mention it, Flinter hasn't really done anything and seems to be trying to fly under the radar.

[Zachrulez]

In fact, the only thing Flinter has really done is show concern for Vi's suspicions of Hohum while ignoring everything else.

Unvote: Vote: Flinter

[Locke Lamora]

Lot of vote-hopping early on here, Zach. Is this normal for you?

[Zachrulez]

Lot of vote-hopping early on here, Zach. Is this normal for you?

Well I've changed votes twice... if that's your definition of lots.

My vote on Sotty was primarily for a reaction. Her approach here is a little different from Sigma's game. I'm satisfied with her latest post however. Flinter looks pretty scummy to me at this point.

I don't see pursuing you further at this point as productive. Ditto for Sotty.

[Zachrulez]

But yeah, I do have a habit of hopping around with my vote.

[xRECKONERx]

Vote: Zachrulez

I've never seen him hop around this much.

[Zachrulez]

After playing this game with me, you don't seriously expect me to let you get away with saying that do you?

[xRECKONERx]

You hopped around a bit, but not thrice within 1-2 pages this early on.

[Zachrulez]

You hopped around a bit, but not thrice within 1-2 pages this early on.

That's

not

what you said. You said you have never seen me hop around with my vote this much. A blatant lie.

The truth of it is that I hop around a lot as town. When I am scum... I actually have the opposite approach... I rarely ever change my vote at all.

[Zachrulez]

Also I replaced into that game, so yeah.

[xRECKONERx]

Examples of you playing as scum please.

Those are the two most recent.

The only vote change I can recall from the recent newbie game was forced by a cop claim.
