Open 20 - Pie E7 (Game over) - before 453

[Aimee]

With the deadline approaching, I felt it was a good time to affirm my stance on each player, starting with Paradoxombie, the person I am voting for

This was followed by a lengthy analysis of Paradoxombie, but no others followed, and this was in fact Aimee's last post. Aimee, I'd like to hear from you in particular with regard to your voting intentions as the revised deadline approaches. Would you switch to Jordan? To anybody?

Same question to IH, who should have been back in town for a couple of days by now.

Yes, I was actually going to do that. But it will need to be tomorrow, I'm afraid.

[Patrick]

I think maybe Jordan should claim. If he's a protown powerole, the last thing we want is to have a claim at the last minute that leaves us wondering whether to switch or not.

[Aimee]

I want Paradoxombie first, but I would be willing to vote Jordan, I think (although I would need a re-read just to check).

Wouldn't be willing to vote for any of the other four.

[Aimee]

MOD: Can we get some prods on Jordan and IH, please?

[Ripley]

I notice IH has been nice and busy in other threads since his return, but has ignored this one despite the approaching deadline.

[Patrick]

Aghh. Computer gets taken away from home at this inconvenient time. Posting from the library. I really hope the computer is home by tonight. We are in danger of no lynching here. I would like a Jordan lynch personally. I will be unhappy if we get someone claiming a powerole last minute, especially if they are a genuine powerole. I think if Jordan plans to claim, he should do so now.

[Ripley]

The deadline seems to be Thursday July 5th, midnight GMT + 1. (Can we get this confirmed please?). So we still have this evening and all of tomorrow. I think that is 31 hours, though time zones have never been my strong point. Unless "midnight" belongs to the day at which it starts, in which case we only have this evening. Damn, I've managed to confuse myself now.

Mod

: in your next post please would you say how many hours it is from then till deadline, for the benefit of the chronologically challenged.

[Patrick]

Yeah I wonder about that. Computer crisis is solved btw.

[Ripley]

Patrick, would you be up for lynching IH or Aimee if the votes could be got together in time? You said a while back you thought you were more suspicious of Aimee than of Paradoxombie.

Everybody else: can you please specify who you would be willing to lynch?

[Patrick]

If Jordan isn't lynched, it seems that Paradoxombie would be the main alternative lynch. I guess I'd go with an Aimee or an IH lynch to avoid a no lynch.

One slightly interesting thing I noted just skimming back was that neither of the vote leaders are voting for each other. I wonder if that means anything. If I see CTD in scumchat I'll poke him to get clarification on the deadline.

[Ripley]

What actually

happens

in scumchat? Is it just a chatroom, or do people actually play Mafia games there (and if so, does that work well)?

It is both. Chatroom and play games. I don't often play in games, it tends to be too fast for me, but it works well as long as you have halfway decent mod and players. It's a good place to test unusual setups.

[Simenon]

When you're in as many games as IH is in, you have to pick and choose when you leave for a week. I am in another game that IH is ignoring.

[JordanA24]

I'm doctor, sorry for sucking.

[JordanA24]

I'm up for an IH lynch, he replaced Teffc, who looked VERY suspicious, and now he's intentionally lurking it seems.

Unvote Vote: IH

[Aimee]

Well obviously Jordan is off the cards for today. Lynching a claimed doctor would be stupid.

I think Paradoxombie would be the best alternative. I made a massive case against him on the last page, to which he basically had no defence to. He is my preferred choice.

[Simenon]

Unvote vote zombie

[Ripley]

I'd like to get confirmations from everyone that they're not going to counterclaim before figuring out what I want to do next. I'm not convinced Paradoxombie is the obvious move, if Jordan is innocent. If this is the case, it's really hard to believe

two

scum completely passed by the chance to make a move on an innocent being attacked by two experienced players. Which means at least one of Patrick and Simenon would be scum.

I wonder if Simenon's rapid switch to vote Paradoxombie before Patrick, IH, Paradoxombie or I had even checked in, means he didn't need to wait for counterclaims because he already knew Jordan was innocent?

I have this feeling Paradoxombie is going to be speedlynched before discussion goes much further. Oh well. We'll see.

[Simenon]

We have a deadline to make.

[Patrick]

And it looks like the computer is going to be wisked away again just when I got it back. Damn. I'm glad the deadline is tomorrow and not in a couple of hours. I am not the doctor. We definitely need to hear from IH and Paradoxombie quickly.

There may be something in this argument about the quick switch from Simenon. I thought you had Paradoxombie down as protown? I really don't have much of a clue who I want to lynch assuming Jordan is the doctor. I also have too little time.

[Simenon]

He's the easiest to lynch at this point. Deadline no lynches are horrid, no?

[Patrick]

They are indeed.

[Ripley]

It just seemed very surprising to me that Simenon would simply

believe

the claim of Jordan, his prime suspect for virtually the entire game. Scum are going to claim doc in this position a lot of the time (and there are two of them). Regardless of the deadline, which is more than a day away anyway, I'd have expected Simenon to be pretty suspicious of the claim. His switch of vote without even a mention of possible counterclaims... it felt odd. Unless Simenon couldn't get back online before deadline, which is clearly not the case, it seemed like a somewhat precipitate move on his part. And that did make me wonder if he already knew there wouldn't be a counterclaim, and was just saving time by making the move he knew he'd be making once everyone had checked in.

Patrick, do your computer problems mean you aren't going to be around at deadline?

Patrick, do your computer problems mean you aren't going to be around at deadline?

I can be on for the rest of tonight, then it's being taken away very early tomorrow morning (problems with the sound, should have been sorted today but apparently wasn't). I will likely book time at the library for tomorrow afternoon. I can't guarantee whether or not the computer will be back tomorrow evening. If not then there's no way I can be around at deadline.
