Mini 942: Gonzo Mafia - Game Over!

[xRECKONERx]

Actually, fuck it. hohum has played scummy enough to the point where I can't see me lynching anyone else except him. If he's town, he's an easy mislynch target in LYLO. If he's scum, game over.

Vote: hohum

L-1.

[VP Baltar]

"Who

you?"

he screamed.

"What do you do for a

"Never mind that,"

I said.

"Right now I'm your

skyhook

--so come off that goddamn ledge and let's get some of this stuff on paper. We don't have much time."

"

Paper

?"

he screeched.

"What are you--some kind of

?"

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

I smell like poo

[hohum]

Damn. Too bad I can't self-hammer.

Anyone want the honor?

[Amished]

I will hammer you after Vi answers my question if you want out this bad. I hate that I think you're town though.

It'd be for the sole reason that you called me Ed all this time. And claiming cop in your first post that one game.... *grr*

[hohum]

wait, did you just say you'd hammer someone who you think is town?

[xRECKONERx]

wait, did you just say you'd hammer someone who you think is town?

DUN DUN DUNNNN.

Unvote

.
Nevermind, not voting for hohum today.

[Zachrulez]

wait, did you just say you'd hammer someone who you think is town?

Yes... he did.

Hmmm, maybe I AM wrong, I need to think on it.

Unvote:

[Amished]

There's a difference between think and know, people. Jesus.

[Amished]

Also, I like how xRx is deciding not to vote for hohum (for my alleged slip or what the fuck ever you want to take my comment out of context as) but isn't voting for me because of the slip and how sure he is about it.

Vote: xRECKONERx

[xRECKONERx]

DERPA DERP.

[Amished]

I'm so right, I can feel it. I gave you {xRx} an easy out to follow me before, and you did it.

Zach, remind you of yourself when I caught your scumbuddy raven in that newbie game at all?

Honestly I could see any one of you three as scum easily...

[hohum]

There's a difference between think and know, people. Jesus.

what might that difference be in your opinion? For academic purposes I see it as the difference between thinking you're doing something bad and knowing you're doing something bad.

Why would scum-me not just sit on the hohum wagon until it is inevitably hammered and then excuse it tomorrow as "Uh, who WOULDN'T lynch hohum after his play this game?" and get away with it like that.

Scum-me can't afford to sit around and derail easy wagons at this point because scum-me is all alone without any partners left (allegedly).

Now, onto the players currently left in the game:

Zachrulez: I have a town read on him, and I like that he unvoted hohum despite starting that wagon.

hohum: Scummy as shit, but probably just awful town.

Vi: I can never get a good read on Vi. I'm gonna go with completely neutral at this point, but I could very well see a scenario in which Vi is the last scum.

DDD: Lurking his ass off without contributing much as usual. I am usually content to pass this off as "typical DDD play", but with how unsure I am of the last scum, he's definitely a suspect.

Sotty7: Eh, Probably not scum.

Amished: I can't tell wtf he's doing. I seem to recall a wagon being pushed on him by now-dead-scum a few days ago (or am I just insane?). If that's the case, there's certainly room for bussing, but I recall it being pretty hard bussing especially when scum were in a bad position. Too lazy to look now.

[Zachrulez]

Hmmm, I've been seeing DDD as town, but I haven't really ever been able to reason much as to why. He's been under the radar for the most part over the entire game, and I don't really understand his distrust of Vi beyond the fact that the scummiest players who are most likely to make endgame should they avoid being lynched may also be likely to vote Vi in an endgame scenario.

That's something that actually is a bit unsettling to me. I'm very confident in my Sotty and Vi town reads, I just don't think either is scum in this game.

[Zachrulez]

Also Reckoner, do you think that Vi's interaction with Ortolan on day 1 was possible/likely scum/scum? That's pretty much the only way Vi works as scum in this game.

[xRECKONERx]

Which posts, specifically?

[Zachrulez]

Which posts, specifically?

The point where Vi voted Ortolan and then Ortolan retaliated by calling Vi scum saying "You always try to get me lynched when you're scum."

Which resulted in a back and forth between them which resulted in Ortolan requesting replacement and Ortolan's wagon being pushed to lynch.

Ortolan's ISO (toward the bottom half mostly.) gives a pretty good summary of what went down.

I just have a hard time swallowing that interaction being scum/scum as Vi's attacks on Ortolan seemed to upset him and result in him requesting replacement.

If Ort already had a reasonable amount of suspicion on him, I could see it as a bus where Ort simply was upset that Vi was bussing him, but given that it was suspicion from Vi that actually resulted in a bandwagon. (Where there were plenty of excuses for Vi to pursue other wagons.) I don't buy that it was a bus.

[xRECKONERx]

Hmm... good point.

Okay, I'll bite Vi as town. Which means...

SCUMMY

DDD
Amished
hohum
Sotty7
Vi
Zachrulez
xRECKONERx

TOWN

hohum is still scummy as shit. But I just have this...thing...stopping me from lynching him.

[Zachrulez]

Hohum seems too self destructive to be scum at this point. (Though it could just be a trick.) My experience and gut tell me that lynches like this don't tend to turn out well...

I could see Amished as scum pretty easily. I've outlined reasoning for Locke scum, and my suspicions of the player slot have never really subsided.

DDD's placement on both wagons actually has garnered him a lot of town cred and seems too perfect. I think it's possible that he's been fooling us all.

Glancing at isos and voting patterns, I am actually leaning more toward Reckoner being town. He's been on both scum wagons with votes that are arguably weak, but hasn't bothered trying to take credit for the lynches. (As I would expect scum to try to do to a degree.)

Also the dead scum seemed pretty interested in lynching him too.

[xRECKONERx]

Oh yeah, that reminds me:

Hey guys those two scum lynches were totally all my doing fyi

[Amished]

Zach, what do you think I'm doing?

xRx: You also need 3 mislynches to win (assuming 3-9 split) from here out (6 other players, 3 mislynches and 2 nk's leaves you in a 1:1 night endgame). Using up a single easy one now is not going to win you the game. Allowing an "easy" mislynch to go through now while not creating another one pretty much backs you into a corner where it's damn near impossible for you to win.

[xRECKONERx]

Excellent point. You're right. I'm convinced I'm scum now.

[Amished]

Good, so follow me again into voting scum!
