Open 50: The New C9 - Abandoned!

[Shteven]

I posted my roundup at the same time as CKD's, so I hope people can see I was trying to legitimately go and find things that needed attention in the thread.

That said, I missed LML being the one who orginally claimed the Oman lynch was incoming

. And he said probably, making it more reasonable.

Since I missed that, I misread CKD's followup, which was perfectly reasonable. I am sorry about that.

UNFOS: CKD

If "unfos" is even possible

The people I find suspicious at the moment are:

Sammich
Oman
Aimee
SSF
LML

I'd like to hear more from the last 3, of course.

well if I got a "major FOS" for "assuming", why are you not asking LML the exact same questions you asked me and giving him a "major fos" for assuming?

See bolded section above.

[LaptopGun]

yeah you do, now back on topic. What was the topic again

That's a very good question Previous serious subjects have included yourself, scumtells vs non tells, misunderstandings, some guy who sounds like he's from Sanford and Son, and abandonment issues. Take your pick.

Seriously now, I am as confused as everyone else why the game broke apart like it has.

[TylerJ]

maybe we should go back to random stage. j/k. I think I'll yhave to do some re-reading tommorow.

[curiouskarmadog]

going to be a light poster 11/09-11/12..long weekend holiday..

[Oman]

I'm going to say chronic lurking has broken this game apart a fair bit.

Now...I'm going to put forward an unpopular idea bbbbuuutttt...What if we just lynch a lurker (and I'm not usually in favour of this but this C9 allows a fair few mislynches I think). I mean, we get a bit more info (based on NKs and lynchee).

Or we could jsut lynch Schteven.

[curiouskarmadog]

my vote stands

[LaptopGun]

Oman, that's just stupid to say. It's a bad idea for the town to do randomly- granted, we may not know a lot about some of these people anyway. I also think at least one of the lurkers is a mafia whos gone MIA. Still I dont like the odds. If we're all hard up to lynch, lets vote for the suspicious characters we have gone after. I realize some people would include me in that, and I understand that some people are concerned about me (though I hope I can alleviate things), that as long as we do something intelligent.

[Shteven]

Agreed; it's much better to lynch someone who's suspicious than to randomly target someone who's not here.

[Sammich]

Agreed.
Unless Oman is MeMe's alt or something.

FOS: Oman

You've found Shteven suspicious for a long time now, you even suggested his lynch in that post, and yet tou say we should lynch a lurker, which is plainly a bad thing for the town to do, since we may as well be rolling a dice as to who, and therefore which

role

we lynch. The fact you even said that Shteven was suspicious in the same post you suggest lynching a lurker just makes it worse IMO, like you'd be happy just lynching anyone, which is what a scum wants to happen.

[LaptopGun]

Unless Oman is MeMe's alt or something.

Haha. So if the Russian roulett theory ends up killing the mod, who takes over? So kidding...

[Sammich]

I think it would be hilarious if we rolled and Oman was the person picked.

[Oman]

WHoa, sammich. I'm talking about lurkers, not just roling and lynching anyone.

Also, scum are more likely to be lurkers than town (statistically).

[Aimee]

Also, scum are more likely to be lurkers than town (statistically).

From a theoretical standpoint, this is misleading.

Still happy with my top suspect being sammich and ssf.

[Oman]

Sorry Aimee, you're right. Scum are more likely to lurk when a deadline is around though.

I'd agree with Sammich, but can you tell me why you suspect SSF?

[LaptopGun]

Scum are more likely to lurk when a deadline is around though.

I agree. I've seen it in the other games I've been in. It's by no means a ironclad trend, but for once I think Oman said something that actually helps the town.

[JordanA24]

Also, scum are more likely to be lurkers than town (statistically).

Yes, but, truthfully, would you rather we lynched a random lurker, that is statistically more likely to be scum that town, or someone that has consistently made scummy posts, and are therefore, logically, more likely to be scum than town.

To use a cliché, this is a game of logic, not statistics.

[TylerJ]

So, are we actually scum hunting. I realize I haven't been, but I have been busy these past few days. IF we want to lynch someone, how about we find out who is the scummiest.

*Tyler says to himself: WoW! what a wonderful Idea!*

[Shteven]

While I wouldn't say I am certain by a longshot, I'm more comfortable lynching Oman or Sammich than I would be a random lurker.

Picking a lurker to lynch is an excellent opportunity for scum to name someone they want killed. I mean, if the lurker turns up town, are you really going to hang the person who suggested the lynch? Especially after the idea of lynching some lurker has been accepted, it's a pretty secure way to guide a town lynch. They just say they're disappointed but felt that a lurker would be our best chance, and day 2 continues.

This alone isn't much of a sure thing, but I've already been suspicious of Oman most of the game, so if we're looking for a lynch that desperately, let me suggest:

Unvote. Vote Oman.

[Oman]

Yes, but, truthfully, would you rather we lynched a random lurker, that is statistically more likely to be scum that town, or someone that has consistently made scummy posts, and are therefore, logically, more likely to be scum than town.

This is a great point. The only porblem is we can't come to a consensus.

I would like sammich or Tyler down, and I've stated why previosly.

[OpposedForce]

Ergh. Forgot to keep up to date. I can't say I approve we lynch a lurker randomly but however if that person has a suspicous background in the game it wouldn't hurt to look into the person. Otherwise lynching randomly is not a good idea.

Fos:Oman

not essentially worthy of a vote in my opinion for proposing an idea like that but something to be noted.

[LaptopGun]

Where's SSF?

[somestrangeflea]

Where's SSF?

I honestly have no idea. I didn't realise that I'd been gone for a week. I tend to base my posting rate on how fast the game itself is moving, so that I don't control 1 in 5 posts, and that each post I make is separated by a fair amount of other posts, so there's some content for me to actually talk about! There've only been 30 posts between this post and my last post, which, for a game with 17 players alive in it, is kinda sucky.

To sum up, I haven't been posting because overall thread activity is low. Whilst I realise that my lack of posting is contributing to this, I can't help but find it hard to be motivated in a game with so few active players...

Mod: Can we get prods on LML, White, ManaSpryte, AlyG, timmers, ooba and skitzer, and a votecount, please?

[Shteven]

I understand where you're coming from SSF, This seems to happen to a lot of the games I've been in recently. I've tried to remain active but I don't feel entirely productive either...I did list those people you asked to prod some time ago, although I probably should have bolded it, so thanks for making it offical.

[Gatorguy91]

My productivity is awful- If we can find another mod, i'll stop because honestly i'm not going to be doing you guys any favors.

anyway, the fonz replaces timmers2001
