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

[Skruffs]

it's not that patsy had a clear enemy, it's that other players did, except you.

[Zindaras]

it's not that patsy had a clear enemy, it's that other players did, except you.

No. There were two main rivalries: Skruffs-Ripley and Aimee-Zindaras. The only one who didn't have an enemy was Patsy. The only one you could implicate was Ripley, and that would be by killing yourself, or you, by killing Ripley.

[Skruffs]

So are you saying you think I killed patrick?
Sorry that I am asking for clarification, but your posts are sporadic and tightly parsed.

[Zindaras]

I think that you would've killed Patsy. You argued that you wouldn't have killed Patsy, I'm arguing that that's not true.

[Skruffs]

K.
Well.
I would like to vote Ripley, but I feel that both of you are probably more likely to vote me than each other. If I vote RIpley, I feel that I will probably be, in turn, quickly lynched.
ANy one care to contend that?

[Skruffs]

Neither of you have interest.

Mod : Prods or Replacements please? Or just modkill both of them?

[Zindaras]

So, basically, you think that we're both going to vote you only if you vote Ripley yourself? I don't really get your point, Skruffydear.

I don't intend to quicklynch anyone.

[Skruffs]

I mean that I feel I am the more vulnerable townie between the three of us, one of whom is a scum. If I were toa ttack, it would be easy for the person I attaack to turn it on me, and that would lead to a scum win. You two haven't even talked to each other since hte game started.

Go ahead and look: You've both replied to me, and not at all to each other. Because neither of you are discussing hte other except in response to something I say.
I'd really like to hear you guys at least discuss each other.

[Skruffs]

I will note that I was voting Ripley for a while yesterday, which would suggest that Zindaras is less likely scum than he is.

[Skruffs]

Okay.

I want ot vote ripley but if Zindaras is scum, he'll just hammer, and will have won.
I want to vote Zindaras jsut to preserve my pride, but theres no reasont o take BOTH of us down just for some petty off-game differences.

None of you have ANY INTEREST in this game, OBVIOUSLY.

[CrashTextDummie]

Ripley has been prodded.

[Skruffs]

Screw it.

vote : ripley

I actually think that ripley is more likely scum, and the prolongued vote on him day 2 by me without anyone else trying to exploit it (aimee)
Trumps aimee's possible bussing of zindaras late in the day.

You both have identical playstyles today(none), so, if, Zindaras hammers you as scum, ripley, you have yourself to blame. I thought it was possible zindaras left me and you and killed patrick to leave you 'without friends', i've suggested that, neither of you thought it was likely.

[Skruffs]

HAppy birthday CTD.

...


Just modkill them?
Town win through apathy?

[Zindaras]

I'm sorry.

This game doesn't deserve a winner.

Vote: Ripley

But it will get one.

[Patrick]

Meh. Took you long enough.

[JordanA24]

Bah! This game is certainly not one to remember from my point of view.

[IH]

phew Crazy Zindy. = )

[IH]

Funny thing, that last post right there by me was the 666th in this thread

[Simenon]

I am going to pretend this game doesn't exist.

Who's with me?

[Patrick]

Gah. I suspected Aimee/IH as a good possibility for a long time on day 2. Not that there was much connection, but both Simenon/Skruffs and Ripley seemed more protown than either on the whole. Just the lack of quicklynch managed to disassociate the two scum in our minds. No wonder I couldn't make up my mind between Ripley and Skruffs after dying. I think I was leaning slightly towards Ripley, because his day 2 posts started to look more manipulative after we found out Aimee was scum. But there were some good points on both sides.

I can't help but wonder what would have happened if only I'd put that third vote on IH for the day 1 deadline. I think Ripley would have hammered him instead of Paradoxombie, and we'd have gone on to win. Paradoxombie, if still reading, you should always claim if you're about to be lynched and you've got a powerole.

I'm tempted to say the scum managed to bore us to death in this game by lurking.

[IH]

This is the first game I intentionally used scum tactics, btw. = )

Notice that I distracted from conversation in day 1, while attacking Para for it.

<3 Zindy

[Zindaras]

I sucked. My entire analysis was as I would really have made it, except for the whole "Aimee is certain scum" part. I felt I had to bus her. It just sucks that I didn't do a good job rereading.

[Skruffs]

*shrugs*
I had nothing to go on. You were both avoiding the game entirely, nobody would replace in. AT least it's over now.

[Skruffs]

I mean I could not actually win this game, because Ripley wouldn't have hammered you anyways. Not because he thought you were town, but because he didn't care enough to vote.

[CrashTextDummie]

Just to make it official:

Final Vote Count

:

Ripley

(2):

Skruffs, Zindaras

not voting

(1):

Ripley

Ripley, Townie, Lynched D3!

The scum,

Aimee and Zindaras

win.

I feel terrible about this game, and I apologize to all the players for my shortcomings as a mod. There are a couple of issues I didn't handle well at all (mostly deadlines and replacements), which did its part in letting the game degenerate into what we turned out with.

I think I learned some lessons here, and I'm sorry you guys were along for the ride.

To whoever locked this topic:
I'll leave it open for 24-48 hours and then close it again. I hope me re-opening it is not breaking some kind of rule, but I've been asked to do a proper ending and want to leave the door open for some last words, should any player like to make them. >_>
