433: Dry, bland, generic mafia: Game Over

[gorckat]

Wow- here's my review (using last post date before today):

Southpaw 5-2
Sweenytodd 5-3
thorgot 5-16
pete d 5-17
dom:inc 5-17
superstring91 5-17
Dasquian 5-20
CogitoErgoSum 5-20
Eletriar 5-22
gorckat 5-24
kilmenator 5-24
The Fonz 5-24

Therefore, thorgot

must

, without a single doubt, be scum...

He keeps popping up on my radar, joke logic included:

vote: thorgot

[Dasquian]

Technically, it should be pete d since Sweenytodd is now inHimshallibe ;p However, in a game going about as turgid as a milk left out on a summer's day, I'm all for giving anyone who posts even semi-regularly a free pass.

So yes, please, more votes on thorgot

[gorckat]

I knew something was off about Sweeney not posting that long and I now remember I had meant to send a PM to TSQ asking if he could update the first post because I got really confused in a re-read last week.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Unvote, vote: thorgot

[gorckat]

There are at least 4 people who need replacements. I am trying my hardest.

How'd I miss that after I posted before and after it?

The

goggles

glasses! They do nothing!

[kilmenator]

Im still here, busy... will post maybe tonight or tomorrow..

[Thestatusquo]

Off the Mark replaces thorgot! REJOICE!

Also, VOTECOUNT:

The fonz: 1 (string)

Off the mark: 3(dasq ces Gorckat)

inhim: 1 (off the mark)
Kilmentator: 1 (Pete d)
Pete d 1 (Inhim)
Eletriar 1 (the fonz)

12 alive, still 7 to do the deed. Still searching for more replacements.

[Off the Mark]

Haha, hi everybody. I read through this game already, knowing I was going to be replacing into it. I decided I was most suspicious of thorgot and kilmenator. Then I got the replacement PM and guess what - I'm thorgot!! And I'm innocent! So it looks like I'm in a pickle, eh?

Basically, it seems like the main reasons thorgot has garnered suspicion is for lurking and failing to take a strong position. Well, give me a chance to rectify that before you string me up please.

For most of my read-thru the game, I really didn't like The Fonz's accusations and especially when he was pushing CES to role-claim. I think that situation is better left alone, for the good of the town. But the more I read, I just really doubted a scum would come out swinging like Fonz has done on day 1 and so clearly pushing to seek out and lynch scum. We are getting into WIFOM territory here, I know, but if Fonz is scum, he is doing an excellent impression of an aggressive townie.

The player who is consistently showing up on my scumdar is kilmenator. She has not posted a lot of content and when she does, her suspicions tend to run counter to my own, so that is where I am most comfortable placing my vote.

vote: kilmenator

[inHimshallibe]

@ The Fonz: you're answering questions better than I think scum would at the moment, so for this Day I'm going to have to let you sit on the back burner.

@ pete d: what was said on those first few pages haven't changed, have they? Yes, I still think shady stuff was happening there early on.

But.

I think this Day has ran its course.

unvote; vote: kilmenator

- I like this vote better than the other, but with fair warning, I'll hammer Off the Mark.

[Thestatusquo]

pie_is_good replaces southpaw

His finals are in a week, but after that he'll be here. Don't expect any sort of deadline till he starts posting in earnest.

[Thestatusquo]

IH REPLACES DOM: INC

[IH]

Sweet, hi all rereading.

[Dasquian]

Unvote

. I wanted to know why thorgot was posting so little, and now I guess I'll never know. But that's not anything his replacement can help with, so no reason to keep the vote there.

FOS: CES for doing a contentless vote - even though I encouraged it, I think all votes deserve some kind of explanation.
FOS: inHimshallibe for two things in his last post - conceding suspicion of The Fonz straight after Off the Mark staked his claim in the "aggressive townie" camp (seems like scummy back-peddling), and trying to hustle us towards a final lynch with "I think this Day has ran its course."

Vote: inHimshallibe

actually, though I want to hear what the replacements have to say.

[superstring91]

kilm is at the top of my list right now.
along with ces

kilm is echoing fonz, and not giving a whole lot of content.

ces just isn't giving content

id like to see pressure on them, and the one with the most votes presently is kilm

so,

vote:kilmenator

[gorckat]

I read through this game already, knowing I was going to be replacing into it. I decided I was most suspicious of thorgot and kilmenator.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

But- let's go to five since things are rolling again and my follow-up question was ignored when kilm touched base.

vote: kilmenator

[Thestatusquo]

Nanook the wolf replaces eletriar.

[NanookTheWolf]

Hey guys .. just replaced, give me a little time to catch up on some reading.

[NanookTheWolf]

My vote goes out to ...

Vote: Cogito Ergo Sum

This vote partly is placed based on the fact that I'm interested more so in finding out more about this doc claim. It's not so much that I want to be sure he's the doc as I am curious as to him being scum. I find it odd his initial reaction to Dodgy's behaviors and why not continuing with the doc claim was scummy.

Why suddenly retract a role claim that's already been made is something that I've always had difficulties dealing with.

One issue I've had in the past with Dodgy was much similar to this one, and for whatever reason I always have Dodgy pinned as scum in a game whether he is or not.

At this point in the game with lessened discussion I'd rather push a "re-claim" and or new claim from CES to clear the air.

I'm not saying just lynch the guy, but for whatever reason that he may or may not change his role claim should ly informative to the players in this game. We can't really hurt anything from knowing if he's the actual doctor considering that the claims been made already through Dodgy and no matter what he claims the mafia will have a hold on the night's decisions.

CES also seems to be avoiding participation in the game. Why place a 3rd vote on Off the mark with no explanation what so ever?

The only other person really sticking out to me is Gorckat ..

I've found his play in this game to be flamboyant when voting for one. He had a sudden change of heart when Kilmenator had 4 votes and seemed to take advantage of throwing on the 5th. Originally he had voted Kilmenator, retracted his vote and placed it on Thorgot aka Off the mark, based on what? .. Joke logic?

That's all I've really got for now

Other players haven't really uped any of my suspicion thus far so not much point in listing my opinions of them just yet.

[Pie_is_good]

This is a shameless "Hi, I'm here" post. I'll try and skim over the weekend, then read in depth the weekend after that.

Scum may begin enjoying their last week of the game.

[NanookTheWolf]

Hush you ..

I'm a bit rusty and honestly after reading 13 pages straight with 10 of them primarily focused on debates with the Fonz, it was hard for me to even come up with that ..

[Dasquian]

Nanook - what in Pie's post elicited your somewhat defensive reply?

[Off the Mark]

I don't like that post by Nanook one bit:

FOS: Nanook

As I explained a little bit earlier, anyone pushing for a role claim from CES seems fishy to me at this point. Also, Eletriar (who Nanook replaced) seemed to be scummily flying under the radar earlier in the game.

I do agree with him somewhat about Gorckat, though... a couple of his posts seemed "off" to me too, while reading through, but overall I felt his suspicions made sense, if you can ignore the jokes. So I came away thinking, "goofy but pro-town"

[Off the Mark]

EBWOP

Sorry, but by "that post by Nanook", I meant post 302. Although 304 is pretty odd too.

Flamboyant is not an adjective often used to describe me...I'll take it as a compliment

thorgot/OTM and kilmenator are at the top of my list.

thorgot was inactive, inattentive, never really weighed in on Dodgy and even his replacement suspected him during his pre-PM reading of the thread. However, I assume his replacement will be contributing more, so some of the reasons I voted him may be invalidated.

I left kilm to vote thorgot primarily to generate some discussion. Yes- he popped up as my joke logic's target and I had missed TSQ's post saying four people were due replacement. My earlier reasons were still valid, but I probably would not have voted him had I seen he was likely to be replaced.

Hopping back on kilm to put her at -2 is the first opportunity I've had to put pressure on someone I felt deserved it.

My vote on inHim was more of a "Hey- people are waiting for you to answer a direct question!" vote.

Now goofy

is

a word used to describe me I'll take that as a compliment, too.
