bad coin: omg pending !VC

could someone fill me in on what the above means?

and what does FOS mean?

and whats the villager discussion about?

i call... good guys = villagers, bad guys = mafioso/mafia

[Rosso Carne]

oh wow, he only had one vote? yeesh.

vote:omg

I think he’s saying that he thinks you’re scummy but isn’t going to put a vote on you yet because he’s waiting for a vote count first. I could be wrong but it’s how I interpreted it.

and what does FOS mean?

Finger of Suspicion. It means they suspect you but, for whatever reason, are not going to vote for you at this time.

and whats the villager discussion about?

Well it’s not often the way townies are referred to on this site. You say it enough for it to just as likely be your own playstyle as anything else, though I think the suspicion has arisen from Lowell also using the term. For a generally-unused way of describing a role to appear in two players independently of one another in the same game is a bit of a coincidence and so people are examining the pair of you for that reason. I’m not sure it’s worth a vote in itself but it’s encouraging for the town that people are starting to consider links between players.

Then I'm scummy too...I have no patience and I wanna lynch someone...Sorry, but again, I have no patience.

can we kill someone?

FOS: {Arafax, Rosso Carne}.

Come on guys, we don’t need a lynch just yet. A mislynch wouldn’t be disastrous, true, but we might as well get some information first.

[Rosso Carne]

mert, no one has more than 2 votes.

[Rosso Carne]

Well you said sorry for not having checked the way the game was played and that you should have been more careful with your vote. The thing was, your vote was only the second on me and so it really wasn't that big a deal. What you were accused of was trying to get a Mertwagon going to give a quick lynch in Day One, something which only benefits scum.

Indeed, four votes does appear to have done the trick in this instance but FOS: Bloojay for putting on the fourth vote even though it immediately followed a vote count. I'd be very wary of putting anyone at Lynch-n (where n is a likely minimum amount of scum in the game) so early in Day One.

unvote, vote:mert

Call it a big hunch, but that's been bothering me as of late. 4 votes is not lynching range, neither is 5. Also, blatant quicklynches are good for the town, cuz it exposes 1-2 scum. Yeah yeah, sacrifice townies, but if scum are that dumb that they want a lynch, then power to em.

Other than that, personal experience. It's a slip. I'd be willing to put mert at 80% and lowell at 60% after reading this through again.

unvote, vote: mert

I agree w/ the above ^^

[Arafax]

Unvote - Vote Mert

I just want a wagon

[Colonel Kurtz]

As tempting as it is to vote Arafax for saying "I just want a wagon", I'm going to have to go with the Mert wagon at the moment because it seems like he is trying entirely too hard to be in the spotlight. I mean, yeah, I agree with some of the other allegations that he is making a big deal out of the 4 out of 7 vote, but my main problem is that he's sort of trying to be in the discussions consistently without being too much of a leader.

vote Mert

7 to lynch.

[Pink Princess]

I don't think I'll join the mert wagon.

That's all.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Sweet, a wagon.

Unvote, vote: Mert

[Twomz]

Er... that's 2 to lynch, I don't think anyone else should vote until mert responds... even though there's not that much to respond to...

[Mert]

Wow, that

is

a wagon!

Not sure what there is to respond to really. Rosso’s point about blatant quicklynches finding scum is valid only to a point. Yes, there’s a very good chance you’ll find one (maybe two) scum but there’d be precious little discussion to help connect those scum to their buddies. I see his point but his logic doesn’t follow through to how the remainder of the game would play out.

I am still of the opinion that discussion in the day is good for the town as a whole but I think this wagon will prove useful as I’m pretty sure there’s scum on it somewhere. I’ll have a look through the other wagons that have happened and look for patterns and repeat offenders.

As for Kurtz’s point about me trying too hard to be in the spotlight… well, I’d rather be in the spotlight for trying to get people to

talk

and take things sensibly rather than going “whoo yeah, speedlynch, rock and roll!” like Arafax is doing. I think there has been a lot of pretty weak reasoning in this game (not all of it, but there has been some) and I’m just no eager to lynch someone based on only a few comments and craplogic. I’ll have a re-read and post a list of suspicions as soon as I get the chance (might be a couple of days… see my sig).

MERT IS SCUM!

[Elias_the_thief]

i dont really want to jump on merts wagon that much. the reasons for it seem a little bit of a stretch to me. posts 182 (twomz) and 183 (arafax) did not seem right. ill hold my vote for now, and wait for something else to happen.

[Arafax]

I'm suprised that Mert didn't claim...Oh I also think that we should wait and see what else Mert has to say before anyone else votes him...Of course if two come along and speed lynch him that would be fine by me...I happily trade townies for scum.

[Arafax]

Funny you didn't think anything wrong about CES's post (187)...Hmmm, any response?

[Elias_the_thief]

well, we all know that ces has been like this the entire game. i didnt think it was worth bringing up because its not out of his character, while 182 and 183 are out of yours and twomz.

[Twomz]

1) I was the second person on the wagon.

2) I agreed w/ what Rosso said.

So, there was really no reason for me not to vote mert... although if someone else votes him i'll probably unvote to aviod a quicklynch. If he wishes to post a suspision list, he should be allowed to (I don't care about claims in this game).

[Elias_the_thief]

i'll be gone 'til monday. if you feel the need to replace me, go ahead, but i'd like to stay in the game if possible.

[vikingfan]

That's fine- games are usually slower on weekends.

[Twomz]

Especially since it's... LABOR DAY .
