Mini 975 - Dirty Dirty South Mafia - game over

Vote: Kenman

Camn, with me!

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

@steam-powered shovel- what the heck is a steam-powered shovel?

A shovel that uses steam power, obviously.

@ Shovel. I don't know you, and I am not going anywhere with you.

But it'll be fun. Join me in my valorous crusade against Kenman! He's a Hussite AND a Cathar.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Damn 'scum acting up.

Mod

, could you delete my last post?

Done. - Incog-Mod

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I don't like this bandwagon; too cliqueish. I would consider getting on if Elli left.

P.S. camn's implicit support of the Hussite heresy is noted.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

SK, being confused is not a scum tell.

That second bouncy.bouncy vote by MS was horrible.

Unvote, vote: Midnight's Sorrow

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Still like my vote. Let's string him up.

I see no problem with Ellibereth. (I totally knew she'd end up voting for me sooner or later too. Eerily DGBish.)

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

The Morning deadline is only relevant for role actions, not lynchings.

bouncy.bouncy, please hammer Midnight's Sorrow. It would be mucho appreciated.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Why bouncy.bouncy in particular?

I could tell you, but

then I'd have to kill you

that might defeat the point of asking the question depending on my motivations (or possible lack thereof).

ISO 4-7 of Hoopla strikes me as innocent jokewagonning. Was anyone seriously thinking about lynching bouncy.bouncy?

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Incompetence seems an unlikely explanation for the lack of a nightkill. MS was at L-1 for a significant period of time and I can maybe find 3 people on the players' list that I could realistically see screw up. (And if there was a screw-up, Kenman is not an unlikely culprit.)

So let's go with bouncy.bouncy on this one.

Vote: Kenman

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Seems like a reasonable plan.

Unvote

Need to think a bit.

Elli, your suspicions are based on nothing more than me playing my usual game. I just like to bandwagon.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Forgot to address this:

I don't like this bandwagon; too cliqueish. I would consider getting on if Elli left.

I see no problem with Ellibereth.

Explain, plz.

Ellibereth's part of the clique. Thus, if Ellibereth were to leave, the bandwagon would no longer be "too cliqueish" for me. That first quote didn't imply distrust of Ellibereth.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I'm going to

Vote: TheButtonMen

.

Looking back, I don't like how he holds off commenting on the MSwagon and then pushes the wagon while voting for Earlder. I also don't like how he justifies his Day 2 Earlder vote by referring to his previous statements despite only posting one line's worth of anti-Earlder reasoning on Day 1.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Okay, I agree with camn that we should give kenman a day. And I'm opposed to a mass claim today.

I don't really see the case against Maemuki. She's been lurking, sure, but I don't see that as particularly indicative of alignment. I prefer my Buttonvote.

P.S. I am allergic to "N scum on/off the wagon"-type reasoning.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Well....it works.
Also, in my experience, people who attack the method is usually scum but my exp. is kinda limitted so far.

And you know that it works how?

I don't deny that there's a real effect underlying the notion, but I don't think it's a particularly strong one. And there's a tendency for people to dabble in fallacious probabilistic reasoning where they fail to take into account that if 4 of the 5 wagonners look townie, then that raises the likelihood that there isn't scum on the wagon considerably. And if there are two things I can't stand, it's mohawks and fallacious probabilistic reasoning (just kidding, I don't really mind mohawks all that much).

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

What do you think about Mae from last page?

Weird mostly. I have trouble gleaning anything in terms of alignment from it.

Hoopla, I'm well aware that's there a genuine effect at the heart of it and the tell can, in principle, be applied responsibly. (Although I personally have no qualms being the third scum on or off a wagon.) But in practice it's very hard not to be influenced by a priori reasoning such as "it's a very rare circumstance for all three scum to be on the lynch wagon" when clearly this is not an unreasonable possibility if you've already determined 2 scum to be on the wagon.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Lynching Kenman today would just be bad play.

There are definitely no breadcrumbs in Hoopla's posts - I suspect she tried to act like a doctor.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Anyone want me to hammer so the Day'll end a few hours earlier?

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I'm not convinced by this wagon, personally.

But I see no point in extending this day any longer.

=========[]

Unvote, vote: Maemuki

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Eh? Maemuki was clearly getting lynched. My early hammer just speeds up the game a bit. I don't see how Maemuki's alignment would factor into this.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Scum hate to take a stand.

There simply wasn't enough content on Maemuki's part for me to realistically have a town read on her. So I'm not sure what type of stand you were expecting me to take.

Anyway, Kenman is confirmed scums, so let's get on that.

Vote: Kenman

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

He actually made a post which consisted solely of notifying us that he had sent in his choice. He certainly didn't seem to have a problem with hiding behind Earlder earlier. And the "breadcrumb" comes several days later after we had decided to leave him alone for the day.

There's no real room for doubt here, camn. He's scum.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

It's indeed the best move not to lynch too soon.

The order of my first post of the Day and Incog's VC has also been changing for me by the bye. Mucho strange. (And I'm not drunk or high.)

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I'm a VT.

Next up: Ellibereth

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Defending Kenman is not a bad play for you as scum, camn, if you think you can get away with it since it explains your continued survival. I don't this is the right moment to explore that possibility though.

And the Hiderclaim was too much of a coincidence to be true, camn. That's what convinced me of his guilt.

Vote: TheButtonMen

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

Why is TBM not dead yet? This confuses me greatly.

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

We have to get a lynch in before morning ends or we lose right? (Unless a kill is prevented.)

Now we know that we have a dead cop, tracker and jailkeeper and there haven't been any signs of scum powers, is it really all that likely we'd have a roleblocker too?

[Steam-Powered Shovel]

I was totally going to vote bouncy.bouncy today. (Maybe I should've done it straight away.) Balancewise it just didn't work out.

Oh well. Good game, scum.
