Open 29 - C9+2 (~GAME OVER~) before 470

Mert · Post Post #125 (ISO) » Mon Jul 09, 2007 6:58 am

As you rise, still excited from having successfully caught Honary Hitchhiker in the act, you feel invincible; it is as though you can take on the world. "Let's go get the next one", somebody shouts. "We can do this, nobody takes on

our

town!" somebody else chimes in.

Then suddenly, a grave feeling hits you. You realise that

DeliciousGoldfish

has not joined you. You go back to DeliciousGoldfish's house and see the body lying there, bullet holes through her chest and head. One of the braver town members decides to take her identification from her wallet. She was a townie, it seems.

DeliciousGoldfish, Townie, Killed Night One

It is now Day Two. With seven alive, it'll take four to lynch.

I've been thinking about this. There are only three people who didn't vote for Honary Hitchhiker to get lynched. I'm going to assume, for now, that his scum partner did not vote for him. So, let's analyze the three people who didn't vote for him:

Ripley -- Has repeatedly said that Honary Hitchhiker is his prime suspect. Ripley had a vote on Honary Hitchhiker, but retracted it later because he was not ready to get Honary Hitchhiker lynched. Ripley was fairly instrumental in turning the tide against Honary Hitchhiker, so I doubt he is scum.

AmeliaLi -- Has not posted much, so I am not sure what to think. When she has posted, she didn't contribute much. Still, without much to go on, she becomes my secondary suspect.

Lateralus -- My primary suspect. I know I defended him before, but I noticed something very interesting. Lateralus never voted for Honary Hitchhiker, but cast an FoS at him after things started to turn south. Also, Honary Hitchhiker cast an FoS at Lateralus, but never voted for him. Neither of them significantly contributed to the case against the other, but simply went with the flow. This seems to be an attempt for scum partners to distance themselves from each other. Also, we have to consider why DeliciousGoldfish was killed. She was fairly vocal about her suspicions of Lateralus.

I am pretty sure about this. Lateralus has been acting suspicious all game. I think it's enough for him to get one vote.

Vote: Lateralus

This is good reasoning, but I'm going to

Vote: Ripley

instead.

Ripley · Post Post #128 (ISO) » Mon Jul 09, 2007 7:47 am

I was the first to vote HH, the first to make a case against him that was any more than a passing comment, the one who pointed out that he never answered it, the first to point out how he tried to blend in by FOS'ing Lateralus without adding any actual arguments. I unvoted him because I felt it was to soon to lynch anybody (AmeliaLi has escaped without contributing a useful word on Day 1) and also because the speed of the wagon made me slightly nervous of scum jumping on for an easy quick lynch.

This is the opposite of what scum do. They never build the initial case against their buddy. They jump

on

bandwagons to look good on the voting records, especially when it seems likely the guy's going to be lynched. Which is why I think it's naive to assume his buddy wasn't on the wagon. By the time of the last couple of votes the guy was almost certainly going to be lynched.

Having said that, Lateralus and AmeliaLi are among my top suspects for today, not really because they weren't voting HH but pretty much for the reasons given by Rishi. AmeliaLi just basically avoided posting anything all day. I was highly suspicious of Lateralus yesterday (see post 76 for full details of why) and Rishi makes a good case against him. I'm also suspicious of YogurtBandit - posted no content at all before HH's bandwagon looked to be gaining unstoppable momentum, and then voted him, repeating that HH was obvious scum, though notice how he never said a word about him before that point, and never at any stage gives any reasoning for his conviction.

Torn between YB and Lateralus. Since it's possible we have a cop with a guilty result, I'm not voting at all till everyone's checked in.

AmeliaLi · Post Post #129 (ISO) » Mon Jul 09, 2007 7:51 am

Once again, I appologize for not being on. HH was lynched before I was able to chime in and thus the topic was locked.

I agree with what you say about Laterus. DG might've been hitting too close to home with the scum and they thought they needed to get rid of her. With that my vote goes to Lateralus, for now.

Vote: Lateralus

You also changed your mind pretty quickly yesterday about not quick lynching HH.

Just so it's clear what I'm getting at, it seemed to me that you changed your mind when it became obvious that HH was going to be lynched. Also the posts you made about wanting to put the hammer on HH seemed a bit over the top to me.

Not really, no. Fact of the matter is, we spent most of Day One discussion talking about HH. I don't have much to go on regarding everyone else. It's effectively a Day 2 random vote.

I did. I wasn't comfortable with it, but I thought it was necessary.

I was trying to dramatically threaten him. And it would've worked if it weren't for

those meddling kids

Ripley.

I'm waiting for Lateralus to post. But I don't know if mass prods are necessary. Except for YogurtBandit and Lateralus, everyone alive has posted on Day 2.

What's your hurry, anyway?

I don't know. Got the bizarre feeling that no-one had posted in ages. Really not sure why...

I'm as confused as you are about that...

Your top suspect can't be Honary Hitchhiker any more because he is dead. Who is your new primary suspect?

Or are you too busy not adding anything of substance to answer this question?

somestrangeflea · Post Post #141 (ISO) » Wed Jul 11, 2007 10:21 am

Unvote

Vote: Lateralus

Because, Scum or not, he's clearly not paying enough attention to be useful.

Noticing that Lateralus hasn't been around much, you all start to put some pressure on him, secretly praying that some unknown higher power will contact him and persuade him to turn up. He shows up and explains that he needs to be away, at which point blood begins to boil and before he can catch his breath he is hung by the neck from the nearest tree until he is dead.

Getting used to finding people's true feelings by looking on their person, you decide to check his wallet for identification.

Aw shucks, he was nothing more than a

Townie

Sorry for the delay, guys - hectic weekend sort of caught up with me.

You each wake up after an extended period of sleep and go to assemble in the town square. Suddenly you notice that Ripley hasn't come to join you. A quick search reveals nothing special about him at all.

It is now Day Three. With five alive, it only takes three.
