DAY FIVE

*Another tie! Sadly, the Tie-Break-Inator is on the fritz. So, let’s lynch the person with the longest name. “Askthepizzaguy” = 14 letters. “Darth Sensitive” = 14 letters. Hmm. All right. Let’s lynch the one whose name spells “YUGA ZZIP” backwards.

Askthepizzaguy, also known as Brian Donner, a Town player (Vanilla) has been lynched.

But that’s not the best news. The best news is this: HI, SHERLOCK, AND WELCOME TO DEAD!

DaphneBlack, who was Sherlock Holmes, and obviously Town (Variously a Watcher, Tracker, Name Investigator, and Clue Investigator) has been slain

Finally, a bit of an announcement. There are many things I dislike: anchovies, puppies, and that wanker Yuga Zzip. But what I dislike MOST is a wallflower. Our various wallflowers are reminded that I have ready access to rifles and military-grade explosives, and should consider increasing their participation levels lest I decide to make more liberal use of same. THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Decompositionally,

M*

Day Five begins now, and will end at 12:00PM Eastern on Wednesday, March 19.

1102

well, fuck. wait, am i allowed to say that on the Dope?

okay, to summarize why i voted to for Darth:

  1. he voted for players who demonstrated that they went after scum like Scathach, wevets and Rysto. he also voted for me despite my pursuit of Texcat.

  2. i was already suspicious of him since D1.

  3. ask…

1103

by the way, Astral, i should have been clearer about asking about the case on Idle. i saw your case. i wanted to see the other ones which made other players vote for him.

1104

Town, avenge meeeeeeee!

For the moment, the biggest thing that jumps out at me is Scathach’s place at the head of the line voting for Texcat on the first day and then completely dropping both the case and the game.

Vote Scathach

1106

I could support lynching Scathach, too. However, I still think Inner is the better choice.

Vote Inner Stickler

Vote Scathach

List of remaining players and their postcounts for this thread as of 14:09 CDT.

1108

I’m tempted to vote the inactive players, but want to focus Lynching energy on the True Scum:

Vote: Astral Rejection

1109

I’d ask if you found out something last Night, but then I remembered you made a vanilla claim, didn’t you?

In any case, we at least agree on this.

Vote Astral Rejection

1110

As for the cases on Inner and Scathath, not sure I see what everyone else is seeing just yet.

Inner, maybe, a small amount…but Scathath has been mostly off my radar.
Of course, those are probably the people I most need to worry about. :smack:

1111

The participation in this game is overwhelming.

1112

Other than the fact that his name is in my clue, what case do we have on Inner? I think we should lynch him, but am curious if there is more than my clue that makes you suspect him.

1113

I don’t like this statement at all. Do you know that **Astral **is True Scum? Do you know that **Scathach **is not True Scum?

vote septimus

vote Inner Stickler for repeatedly trying to throw suspicion on Daphne’s claim, even after she outed the GF.

I will also be tempted to vote for those voting for **Scathach **even after **Storyteller **said at beginning of day that he would consider taking care of those who are not participating. This is a stupid, lame, lazy vote. Scathach has been AWOL for a long time, I am more worried that something has happened to them. Same goes for Pleo. If either are sandbagging, I will be disappointed.

1114

Ghost comment: Ends all discussion regarding my obviously town alignment quite nicely, dunnit.

1115

I had a very strong feeling that either Pizza or Astra was Scum. With the flip, we now know the Scum is Astral. (But writing “True Scum” capitalized was silly of me.)

I’ve just reviewed all posts by Astral up until the TexCat Lynch, as well as mentions of Astral by Chronos and TexCat, and votes against Astral. There were several good cases against Astral early in the game that I’d forgotten. I hope those who voted Astral earlier will review their early cases and vote him again. Those suspecting him include Daphne and Pizza; I hope their scum-hunting efforts were not in vain.

One tell is that Scum avoid talking about each other, except with incidental, neutral mentions. Looking at prior posts with that in mind, it doesn’t look good for Astral, though some of the evidence conflicts. I’ll list most of the mentions:
[ul]
[li] #237: Chronos votes Astral; Astral responds by laying his case against Daphne thicker and joking with Chronos.[/li]
[li] #288: Astral mentions TexCat.[/li]
[li] #305: Chronos snuggles TexCat and Astral slightly.[/li]
[li] #445: Texcat mentions Astral, but no comment on case against him.[/li]
[li] #467 [Astral]: “[from Pleonast] we get a vote for Texcat for an understandable if overstated reason. I personally wouldn’t toss a vote out for that, because TexCat is largely right.”[/li]
[li] #550: Chronos votes Astral, saying “the votes on Pizza and for Astral were for getting the Daphne wagon rolling and jumping aboard it, respectively, without any good justification from either”[/li]
[li] #577: Astral votes Chronos[/li]
Astral slips, using the {s} tags he uses on the Scum board. This tip-off isn’t conclusive but one response is interesting:

[li] #587 [TexCat] “The masons may or may not have access to outside boards. Just another possibility.”[/li]
Is the next a Freudian slip?
[li] #639 [Astral]: “Exactly. The lynch needs to kill town.”[/li]
[li] #795 [Astral]: “Just for fun, I’m going to go full-bore defense on TexCat, because the votes she’s getting are awful, and because the votes she’s getting are in spirit the same votes I’m getting. TexCat, you better not be scum, or this will not look good for me.”[/li]
[li] #802 [TexCat]: “Astral is correct; these are easy, bandwagon votes, and I am certain that there is scum in there.[/li]… If either Astral or I were scum, there would have been no reason to start a third (or fourth) wagon on Dizzy and Pleo. That only makes sense if both of us are scum.”

[li] #804: Astral pleads for TexCat’s life[/li]
[li] #815: Our excellent but deceased scumhunter Pizza thinks Astral is “White Knighting”[/li]
[li] #848: Texcat discusses possibility both TexCat and Astral are scum.[/li][/ul]

Astral helped Lynch his Godfather, then snuggled his Backup Godfather. These facts do give me pause. But these are excellent players we’re up against, so don’t dissuade me.
I think Astral is Scum. Truly.

1116

:rolleyes:

Good to know that if I’m ever scum, all I need to do is bus the godfather and you won’t ever touch me.

1117

To clarify: the point is not that Astral and TexCat mentioned each other*** but that they didn’t.*** Cases were being made against both of them, but they didn’t comment on each other’s cases one way or the other. Here are those very few “incidental, neutral mentions”. #288 and #445:

Well, no. You still just suspect it. But anyway, I feel your case was largely fair and well-reasoned (if wrong). I’m not gonna go line-by-line and address it, because I feel your casemaking comes from a townie-enough perspective.

I would like to comment on just two parts…

[quote]
[li] #815: Our excellent but deceased scumhunter Pizza thinks Astral is “White Knighting”[/li][/quote]

Yes, he accused me of “White Knighting” in a post where he himself admits to white knighting the same player. I’m not sold on this being solid evidence of my scummery. :slight_smile:

[quote]
[li] #848: Texcat discusses possibility both TexCat and Astral are scum.[/li][/quote]

I think TexCat has a vested interest in seeing me get lynched if I’m town, don’t you? I wouldn’t use scum quotes about my scumminess as evidence, but that’s just me.

Anyway, fair enough case, I guess. If I had to guess, I’d say my lynch is a good bet for today, so I’ll spend it yelling about Idle Thought’s scumminess instead, in case you guys feel like listening to me after the lynch.

1120

I need sleep. Case making will come tomorrow instead.
