unvote, Vote:CES

I would keep it there, but I know CES is just that kind of person.

unvote, vote:Ripley, IGMEOY:CES

(regardless of your playstyle = D )

Because it's the next coolest thing to do after voting Twito.

[IH]

For CES, it's NEVAH to early for a HAMMAH.

unvote, vote:SV

Hunch. = )

[IH]

....Since when did you become likely to get replaced CDB? ._.

[IH]

Well, I only put you on lynch minus 1, not lazarusmoth.

That's why I asked.

[IH]

Oh lord... Fritzler and CES in C9. A lynch is soon to follow. No one put anyone else at minus 2!

[IH]

unvote, vote:CES

-1 ftw for Fritz!

unvote

naaaaah

[IH]

.... = | If CES AND Fritz wasn't here I'd put you at -1. (I dunno if he'd actually do it, but I don't wanna risk it)

Seriously. I keep expressing why I hate this phrase

But don't you think this game could use 5 pages of serious discussion? That's why I did that, to stir up discussion.

It's a catchall phrase that can cover anything you do, and is essentially a way out WHICH I DON'T LIKE.

[IH]

.......eeehhhh

unvote, vote:Ripley

DEADLINE STOPPER!

I don't know about Ripley just offering up his opinions like this. I don't see to much actual... suspicion or whatnot, just wanting to know what he thought he would accomplish.

I still don't like the excuse. = |

I'm not sure how scummy I think CDB is. Mostly I believe him on starting conversation, mostly from the wording, and then it doesn't seem to be a frustrated unvote from it.

igmeoy:SV

[IH]

No, it's more... more than a random vote. Also, I feel a little more inclined to believe CDB more now that I've gone over the wording of his initial post.

[IH]

I just got kind of a weird vibe from his post. Kind of noncomittal, kind of... I dunno.

If gameplay was picking up I wouldn't have said anything about it, which is where post 85 came from.

BAMBAMBAM

Sorry, trying to call Fritz for some posting.

As far as your points of contention against me go, Ripley, while I certainly see your point, I don't really have any reservations about picking up votes in a C9 game. I know that if I get speedlynched then the culprits are going to be very obvious the next day, and I also know that this game is newbie-free, which means that everyone knows what they're doing.

Unless CES and Fritzler speed lynch, in which we will wifom ourselves from existence tomorrow, and ending up with just a speed lynch.

[IH]

= ( Ripley makes a slightly convincing argument at this point.... especially with the deadline baring down on us, I feel tempted to agree...

Mod:

What's your deadline rules?

[IH]

.....Pheh, I've come to the conclusion, that even if Fritzler is a townie, he's going to be more likely to be a strong lynch target in lylo, and that today is the day to get rid of him if we're going to do it.

unvote, vote:Fritzler

[IH]

A claim would be appreciated by the way Fritz.

[IH]

How close were we to deadline when CES hammered?

[IH]

If the issue is sufficiently interesting to you that you would bother raising it, why wouldn't you take the trouble to look up the answer? It took me about 30 seconds, probably less time than it took you to post the question. This kind of behaviour makes me suspicious. FOS IH.

Let's see what the answer was.

The deadline was Saturday, February 24, at 10:30 AM EST. And it was specified that it was tentative and could be extended either by request or by activity picking up.

CES hammered at Mon Feb 19, 2007 3:07 pm.

So, there were the best part of 5 days remaining. Which makes spectrumvoid's reply:

Alright. 1, how does me asking a simple question make it scummy?
2.I'm pretty sure that you took SV's answer the wrong way.... Usually someone doesn't hammer until they're two days away from Deadline at least.

He hammered more than 2 days away.

3.I don't like the Fritz hating that much. If you would notice, CES hammered before anyone could reply or unvote... I understand his reasoning that he didn't think we'd get a lynch on time, but I kinda think it was a poor reason to hammer him right after the claim...

Ripley, please explain your logic on how I am scum because of the so called "awful" vote on you, in a dead game....

[IH]

Ok Ripley. Essentially your logic for me being suspicious is...

I'm lazy.
Some other people thought it was suspicious, so I'm going to say it too.

Did I get that right or not?

[IH]

It's how I seem to be seeing it. I asked a question, which I would have to go back a page or two. Instead of doing as such, I asked a question. This is apparently odd. If it is odd, it is only because I am lazy.

Look, people get away with voting for all sorts of dumb reasons so when a vote attracts as much negative attention as yours did it has to be especially weak. It's not just my opinion, it got you a vote and a FOS from other people:

My vote got negative attention, so it must have been weak. If you don't believe that it got negative attention, look at this, where some people said so!

Seriously.

[IH]

I think I'll look into doing a pbpa of Ripley myself. Some of his logic has been off today (as I have already expressed). I also like how Ripley is very accepting of this claim... but still hasn't responded to my 152, and the resulting 154.

[IH]

That claim isn't too testable SV. We're at lynch or lose. If we "test it" we lose...

I'm feeling an SV lynch at the moment.

And really, IH and I make a most unlikely scum pair given his bad vote and attempt to make a case out of nothing against me yesterday, and my starting off today attacking him. Oh, and him accusing me of poor logic today (he's yet to clarify what he meant by that so I haven't been able to respond).

Err.... This is a stupid reason to give. I've already clarified what I was talking about Ripley. I'm not going to repeat myself. You seem to be blowing that vote on you out of proportion from yesterday. It's like you're saying I made some giant case about it. It was essentially something that was a little more than a random vote since discussion was so low.

[IH]

Actually, I'm not sure IH immediately grasped the situation either. His reaction has been a bit more dithery. It's harder to tell with him because he never actually said he believed the claim (I asked him what he thought of it but got no reply), but equally, there's no sign of "spectrumvoid and Ripley must be the scum then". I think he's just playing it by ear and avoiding committing to anything.

Don't be stupid Ripley. At the moment I'm pretty confident of you and SV being scum, but when CDB claimed, whether he realized it or not, he drew the lines if we make it to day 3. If ChannelDelibird is scum, then he's risked being counterclaimed and lynched. You seem to ignore the possiblity that CDB could be scum claiming cop....

If him and CES are scum, well played. Doubt it.

Ripley seems to be trying to define the lines to early, forcing the choice of choosing a scumteam. I don't like this at all. Notice how it's either CDB and CES are scum, or me and SV are scum (His original call of course). There is no possibility apparently that CDB and SV could be scum together...

At the moment, I believe it's Ripley and Spectrumvoid.

[IH]

Ripley. Too early. Day 3. Wording makes a difference. That's why I use it.

.....Last night I shoulda killed Ripley actually, but I was just not thinking.
