Yeah, but at that point, another good hint would have been: “I have not completely lost my mind.”

> I haven’t read the scum thread yet, and I don’t want to sound all self-important, but I think my lynch was the beginning of the end for the scum. Not only did you lose a Serial Killer who wasn’t able to hurt you guys at all, which I’m fairly surprised you all didn’t put together, but you all really exposed yourselves to get me lynched too, and over **Hal** of all people. My top three suspects, the third of which I was too lazy to name and didn’t want to name after I got spoiled, were all pretty much determined from how the scum handled my lynch.

> So, really, I’m thoroughly confused. I figured my cover was good enough to convince the town, and considering all the scum voted against me and I only lost by one vote, I think I did that. So, darn you all, darn you all to heck for costing me the game. :mad:

I’m embarrassed that I didn’t vote for you, because I shouldn’t have expected a Jester type role. But I stand by the “Blam is trying to get lynched” part of that analysis, because you could not have garnered more suspcion if you tried. I know from the forbidden thread that you were hoping we’d leap from, “Blam is clearly acting in an astonishingly suspicious way” to “scum would never do that” but if town are presented with someone who, whatever his exact role maybe, is clearly not town, they’re going to lynch him. Especially because you managed to dominate conversation so much that there hadn’t been any real discussion of anyone else.

Eh, dominating discussion is what I do. 🆒

But really, I was kind of screwed; I couldn’t come out and claim PFK. The town should have realized that lynching a PFK was a bad idea at that point, and the scum should have realized that I’d likely help them catch up.

Unfortunately, coming out and claiming that would have gotten me lynched immediately because the gut reaction is to eliminate an anti-town element. Of course, the town did potentially gain a lot of information from my lynch because of how the scum played it, but that was never used AFAICT. It’s a real shame too, cause I had some interesting plans for what to do with my powers if I’d managed to get into a winning position and it would have made the game VERY interesting.

Still, I hold the scum singularly responsible for my lynch, and thus their loss, because I can. 😃

No, this is good! Maybe I’ll survive past Night One now. More players like amrussell please.

Woot!

Awesome game, Story, seven thumbs up. And nicely done, town. Sorry I sucked so bad in the start.

I’m off to be spoiled now, yay!

You should not be typing while hammering. That can only lead to accidents.

No, no, I was a Hammer Brother in Idles’ game. I’m done hammering now.

Not in the near future, I’m afraid. That is to say, I could have joined one of the two new games just days before my first child is due, but some tingling spider sense warned me that, all things considered, this would not be a wise move.

Ah, but in a few month’s time, when the baby hauls you out of bed at 2am, you’ll be glad of something to distract you while you settle them down 😉

Just the same, I think that right now it would be a _very_ bad idea.

Knowing my luck, the first time I’m scum I’ll be running on 2 hours sleep.

While we’re doing the personal stuff, how did that job interview go?

I didn’t get the job. ☹ At least they didn’t keep me hanging on too long to let me know.

Thanks for asking though. 🙂

Hope everything goes well with the delivery. Let us know?

Everything going well would be an exaggeration, but the ultimate outcome was exactly what we wanted: healthy mother and baby.

Only after naming him did I realise that his initials are ARR. So it’s pirate outfits from here on in.

Hey, congrats!

The initials thing is a bitch, but ARR is actually a pretty cool set of initials. My wife and I are just talking about baby names in theroy, but the few names we have come up with get killed when we think of the initials.
