Mini 987: Alternative Vote Mafia- Ovah!

[TheButtonmen]

Well then.

Pom's claim is not sitting well with me, I dislike the Jack is obvpartner aspect of it and the Elli protect seems weird given how she's been voting. It is however believable.

Vote: Zach

[Jack]

Methinks Shattered is lurking his way through this. Scumz.
Would lynching someone else (shattered) and leaving both claimed docs alive today be a good play?

No, it seems like we should lynch one of the claimed docs. They can't get a successful protection anyway.

Perhaps I was right about zach-sv earlier. But pom's claim is pretty bad.

If we lynch zach and he's scum then it's probably sv.

If we lynch pom and she's scum then we have to decide between sv and vollk.

Zach's lynch probably gives more info, but I think he is much less likely scum.

No.

[Jack]

Elli, Pom was V/LA after the second time you asked the question.

[The Fonz]

Deadline is a few hours less than a week away.

[Pomegranate]

oooooooooooooh counterclaim baby!
Pommy, why'd you protect me who I remember was somewhere midway on D1 ballot?
Zach, same question except me is Jack.

I'm obv heavily leaving Zach scum per why Pom is a power role a few posts up.

Well... if you were scum I think you would have 'hammered' me, as it would have made more of a commotion than a Jason lynch, and I think you could've milked a good mislynch out of the remains of it. And no one would have been surprised that you put me at the top. Plus, the 10 or so consecutive posts you made at the end of the day had a townie feel to them.

But both of those happened after I submitted my ballot, and that's why you were #4 on my ballot, and not lower.

[vollkan]

Both basically look dreadful. Zach claimed in circumstances where, as scum, he'd be risking a high likelihood of a counter claim; however, it's fair to say that with a claimed cop (who Zach-scum would have no reason to think one-shot) and the likely prospect of a doc/other protective role giving the cop a possible safe night, fakeclaiming seems a valid, if not optimal, strategy for Zach-scum. This last part applies to Pom as well, but to a lesser extent because of the 1-shot claim.

[Jack]

Zach has posted like 20 times today but hasn't shown up here.

I'm pretty sure that if zach is scum, SV is scum.

And if pom is scum I think vollk is scum.

But I suppose we should lynch zach. If town he clears me and sort of vollk.

[Zachrulez]

Not sure what I need to say. Obviously we have a guaranteed scum lynch no matter what happens, so the choice is either me or Pom, so she's obviously going to be at the top of my ballot. I just need to think things over to figure out where everyone else fits in.

[TheButtonmen]

Dear Shattered.

Post.

Sincerely TheButtonmen.

Also as you said before:

Vote: Shattered

Zach, pretend I have an innocent on Pommy: then who's scum?

Shattered Viewpoint and Vollkan.

Reasons, people. Reasons.

Indeed. Give us reasons. Now.

Specifically,
1) Why is it that you suspect Jack and Zach?
2) How is it that, since the end of yesterday, both Elli and myself have dropped below them in your rankings?

[TheButtonmen]

Offical Ballot:

1. Zach.
2. SV
3. Pom
4. Jack
5. Volikan
6. Elli

[Jack]

We should have the top suspects vote first and explain why.

[vollkan]

We should have the top suspects vote first and explain why.

Agreed.

[Pomegranate]

Yes.

But then we have to establish top suspects. But it works.

[Jack]

Yes.

But then we have to establish top suspects. But it works.

Are you seriously pretending that you aren't one of the two lynch possibilities today?

[Pomegranate]

I guess.

But why the HELL would I counterclaim Zach if I was scum?

[Jack]

I guess.

But why the HELL would I counterclaim Zach if I was scum?

Lack of counterclaim from scum-you would equal town auto-win.

[Ellibereth]

I don't think Pom is faking dumb.

[Jack]

I don't think Pom is faking dumb.

Don't be insulting :p

But yeah, I can go for zach and sv I guess.

[Pomegranate]

I guess.

But why the HELL would I counterclaim Zach if I was scum?

Lack of counterclaim from scum-you would equal town auto-win.

A one-for-one trade isn't worth it for scum.

If Zach flips town you lynch me tomorrow.

Happy?

Ok not that it matters. But if zach's claim was believed then there were only three people left remember. sv, vollk, and you. And the town had a mislynch to spare. So that would be game over. But if you were scum you could get the mislynch on vollk, then we would lynch you, and then maybe we would lynch the wrong one out of sv/vollk. So you had to counterclaim if you were scum.

I'm tending to disbelieve zach's claim more though.

[Pomegranate]

I'm a tad confused by your wording. I don't think that it proves that scum had to counterclaim though.

[Ellibereth]

Oops. >.<
SORRY POMMY, WASN'T MEANING TO OFFEND ETC.

And Pommy:
Assume Zach is real doc, and no counter, so peoples believe him.
THat means, Me, button, Jack, and Zach, are all confirmed.
3 people left. 1 mislynch and 2 scumz left.
So town autowins.
