Road to Wrestlemania: Game over - WWF wins - BANG BANG!

[Internet Stranger]

Looks like others agree with me. Thor has been disseminating misinformation all over the place. Now that Nero is lurking, Thor is also looking scummy now.

[jasonT1981]

Nero has been quiet in other games lately though too. I don't think he is lurking.

With 27 superstars active it takes 14 to eliminate a superstar.

JR: Lowell with a sickening piledriver to Thor! The other superstars seem to be turning against Thor right now.

King: Both Sottyrulez and Lowell stomping away at Thor here, not giving him a chance to get up.

JR:...but he gains a respite as Sotty and Lowell are both attacked from behind! A groggy Thor raises his head, then slowly starts to push himself to his feet.

King: The lights are on but no-one's home!

JR: There's definitely a glazed look in Thor's eyes right now...and he finds himself back on the floor as GMan flies in with a missile dropkick!

bristep123 has been prodded.

Deadline is Friday 11th March at 10:00AM GMT. A countdown to that time is here.

On the topic of word counts - I'm happy to use the counter Kublai posted (here for those of you who missed it the first time) from now on for ease and consistency on everyone's part. If it goes over 200 words there, I'll delete everything from 200 onwards here. For the most part I think people are doing a good job of either checking or knowing when to stop before their post reaches 200, but I'll continue to include the link in my vote counts so that everyone can see it.

[Thor665]

@IS - what does Nero lurking have to do in any way with me looking scummy? Also, could you tell me how the instigator tell you used on me is different than your current actions.

[Internet Stranger]

Oh Thor, so I take its all about you now? Since when does Nero have anything to do with you? Or do you have some connection to Nero that we should know about?

[Nero Cain]

@Primate concerning your 657 I've heard this as well but IS' play in Mutiny and this game I can't see it...potential buddying noted. I agree with gobots. Even if he's

that damn good

he shouldn't be above suspicion.

@Hoopster Having played several games with Chess he's often right not 100% but a decent scumdar. However, he tends to act VIish and it really fucks up the town. I'm a firm believer in POE as one of the best scum hunting tools. We should always try to lynch scum but one or 2 mislynches in a 27 player game won't hurt too bad.

<waits for bandwagon>

Wich is why I had Chess post a town and scum game so YOU could decide on your own. But don't take my word for it.[/Reading Rainbow]

IS' 675 if the lurkers would change your opinion of me your scum read must not be very strong. In fact do you have any scum reads besides me?

I hate scott's vote on Chess. Seems nearly chainsawish.

SOMEONE POST SO I CAN FINISH MY POST!!!!!

[chesskid3]

@ Hoppster: Honestly I just don't like the guy. Like, his posting annoyed me early, and I hold grudges.

[Nero Cain]

IS' 729 is fail. Its really twisting Thors words. Earlier He said Thor was more of an instigator than a scumhunter. Then he said b/c I'm lurking Thor is now scummy. Thor asked what my lurking has do do with his "scumminess"

IS why is my lurking and "tunneling" on you scummier but your avoiding EA's question is not scummy?

I would also like to know why Thor is NOW scummy but wasn't originally.

IS is Vi?

Also Bella is lurking horribly.

[Thor665]

"Now that Nero is lurking, Thor is also looking scummy now."

@IS - it became all about me when that's what you wrote - unless it's just poor sentence structure. What you wrote here is connected by a comma, meaning the thoughts are connected. Whassup?

[Scott Brosius]

When did I vote chess Nero?

[Nero Cain]

I meant Snake. My bad.

[Gobots]

Weeeheellllll...

I don't get a huge scumvibe from hoppster, as some seem to. Nor do i get one from thor. I think promoting conversation is good.

IS continues to grate on me. I find myself agreeing with nero about the manipulation in IS posts.

Thor, why does hoppsters playrecord give him an alibi in your opinion?

Bri, seems like theres more to comment on here than just a swing-in vote. You reading?

Baby, why did you self vote in the rumble if you think self voting is suspicious?

Vp, did jason's answer satisfy you?

[Baby Spice]

"BabySpice: I'm not saying just voting is pro-town. I'm saying you called people out on it and then admitted to just posting fluff."

Thing is AV, I didn't just post fluff. Sure I fluffed up my votes for fun but then I wasn't the only one. I did make content posts too.

I think that AV over-reacting to me saying that Furc scummed him up way back in #366.

And I have to ask myself why.

@Gobots. Think I said before, but I see the rumble voting as different from normal voting. The rumble was a s much popularity contest as anything else. It wasn't exactly about hunting scum, though scum hunting took place, as assigning one PR. Eliminating those that we as a whole felt to be unworthy, or too risky to hold that PR. So why not remove myself when the list was down to touse that I personally felt were far more acceptable than myself? I believe I was about the only one to actually be in such a position and willing to admit it.

People's Elbow AV

Big pointy

FOS

on Chesskid though. I still think it was a slip and I'll be watcing you.

[Bella]

Alright, I'm back from v/la, but given the sheer quantity of stuff I'll have to read to catch up, don't expect me to be caught up and posting properly until tomorrow at the earliest.

[jasonT1981]

OK this is now my only active game so I will be able to give more attention to it and be posting more from tomorrow

[Gobots]

There are a whole lot of promises going on here.

[chesskid3]

BS, you fail to understand I don't really care if you think it was a slip or not.
I'm ignoring you.

[Kublai Khan]

For shits & giggles, read Trendall in iso. It's like textbook wallpaper posting. I don't think he's posted 200 words all game.

Let's pressure him.

Shining Wizard: Trendall

[Gobots]

Back-Brain-Kick: Trendall

[sottyrulez]

Thor, the point is that just because Baby thinks you are a worthy end game player if you are town isn't a town tell on her behalf. The fact you are using this as a basis to defend her pretty heavily against AV is flawed this early in the game. Why are you so confident? Why not let Baby defend herself before you leap into the breach?

We think it is because you are buddying up to her and positioning yourself for “I told you so” town cred if we do ever lynch Baby. Simply because the defence is disproportional to the attacks on her. It doesn't make sense.

[Furcolow]

I don't really like the Thor wagon. I took his instigating to be scumhunting. Hoppster's use of parenthesis last page is pinging off my scumdar, town wouldn't feel the need to clarify their word usage, so I'm going to keep my vote there. That is actually something that I've only seen scum do, and is my most unique scumhunting tool that I've used so far. Believe it or not, it has been 100% in usage so far, although people don't typically believe it to be a scumtell. Considering I am the only person on the Hoppster wagon right now, it seems it's going to be the same thing all over again. Great.

Can you all vote Hoppster with me, please?

[SnakePlissken]

Nero I haven't voted Chess either?

[bristep123]

Sorry, I had another game finishing, couldn't keep up.

I've read through everything now post Rumble (I'm not going to try and look for reads in that because I didn't fully get the concept), my main suspect from these initial few days is BabySpice. I think she focused on Chesskid as an easy lynch on a VI, then eased off when nobody hopped on board with her. Tried to vote for AV instead which smacks of OMGUS and using town sway to hop without looking scummy, but doesn't unvote Chesskid so I assume her vote doesn't move.

Elsewhere, IS seems convincing, but I watched him try to lead a game to lynch a townie day one last time I played with him (he got lynched instead and flipped town) so I'm wary.

Mandible Claw : Baby Spice.

[Lowell]

The adorableness of the narration makes me want to change my vote randomly.

[chesskid3]

Unvote

Knife-Edge Chop: BabySpice

This is going places yo
also lowell's presence in this game makes me sad
