Meh. I’m allowed to have fun when I’m (going to be) dead. That question was meant entirely earnestly, and was a play on the boards being down.
You folks read entirely too much into jokes.
Jokes, hell. We read too much into words. Ask one of the oldtimers to tell you the story of the debacle Debacle.
Right back atcha!
Hey Inner, would you tell me about the debacle Debacle?
Hardy har har. It was before my time and the mafia wiki is down so I can’t refresh my memory. IIRC correctly dotchan used the word debacle to describe the results of a lynch and got mislynched for it.
I imagine “scum gloating” got bandied about?
Something to that effect.
Well, that was a nasty outage.
It took so long to bring the site back up that I took an involuntary nap.
My schedule’s a bit thrown off because I need to access the site in order to do my host-related duties of reading instructions and carrying them out, tallying and whatnot.
Long story short, sit tight, this isn’t going to be ready until morning sometime.
That said, we’re not in a rush because both day and night are being stretched so we can get onto a Monday-Thursday Day schedule and a Friday-Sunday Night schedule.
Did you get my PM?
Yes, Astral.
It’s a good thing I did go to bed last night, I could have been sitting here with match sticks holding my eyelids open instead of being nicely refreshed and wide awake and still no results.
There’s a current SDMB thread about “Quantum Immortality” in the many-worlds interpretation of modern physics. You’re living in some worlds, dead in others but … cheer up! … You’re only aware of the worlds wherein you survived.
But frankly, I still think my link in the set-up thread to Tease and Denial is more apropos.
Also confirming that Bright House is having massive problems locally in my area. Estimate until 6am local time for the problem to be resolved.
Haven’t been able to load more than a page or two for the past couple hours.
Sorry folks. Technical issues.
Doesn’t Bright House realise that this is a matter of life or death
I know! I totally can’t access my much-needed elf-on-dwarf porn. sobs uncontrollably
Lucky I stopped…
I’d rather not say.
Can’t you get that on HBO? New season started recently.
I have the sudden uncomfortable feeling that I have a target on my butt. Amazing how easy it is to forget about that in the heat of battle.
Normal was worried about the PetW wagon and I don’t know why, so I went and had a look at it.
This is the post that Normal Phase hated so much.
I think there is a ton of terrible logic in this post, as Normal points out later. It doesn’t really ping me as Scummy, because terrible logic is not solely a Scum trait. Sometimes Scum try to weasel their way into or out of a vote, and you get bad logic then, but there is nothing weaselly about this. It’s very direct.
First vote on PetW
PetW not fazed at all.
Pretty solid vote from Normal.
Kind of a ’ me, too’ + OMGUS vote, but I have a bit of a Town lean on Gad, and I can see him making this vote as Town.
I already said that I hate this vote. He gives a perfectly logical reason why someone would think all the kills were from Scum, and then goes for a PIS accusation. After I said that charlie spazzed at me in a way I saw him do before as Town, so I’m holding neutral on this now.
Guiri says over-confident. Hmm, maybe. I don’t think so though, really.
Silver Jan with a villagery sounding vote.
Normal Phase doesn’t like the speed at which the wagon took off?
This looks like it was posted while Red was catching up (it refers to a Night post), and he probably didn’t know about the wagon. Not sure what about it screams Scum exactly, but a lot of people hated that post.
I’m less forgiving of poor logic from an experienced player. Scum don’t lie for no reason, as if being randed Scum turns someone into a compulsive liar all of a sudden.
There is a discussion through here between Normal Phase and Skeezix about whether or not it’s a good idea to randomly attack people in the hope of working out their element. It seems obvious to me that this is not a good idea (because it will weaken Townies, and knowing people’s elements is hardly crucial info). Scum points to Skeezix for pushing it.
Red changes his vote, but is still suspicious of PetW. I think he is also not caught up, because he is responding to older posts. I’d be interested to see what he makes of PetW’s later posts.
Gnarly said he wanted to put pressure on PetW to see his reaction. I guess he liked it. That makes sense to me, because I liked it to.
This is the worst of the unvotes, to me. Like, everyone else did, so now I will too. But he didn’t really address her concerns, so I think Jan could have left her vote there if she was Scum looking to park her vote.
That leaves Gadarene, who never really specifies that he changed his mind (I think he still has PetW as a scum lean, actually), but did some vote hopping around to try to start a second wagon.
The wagon seems fair to me, both in the way it formed, and the way it dissolved, so I’m still not sure why Normal is unhappy about it.
Some other things that stuck out to me when I was reading.
I believe that not everyone can change their elemental alignment.
Gadarene, do you think an abstain vote is more Scummy than no vote at all? I kind of think you think it is, but I don’t understand why.
This might be nitty, but I think this is bad. As in, could be power role hunting, and even if it isn’t meant that way, it could help Scum find them. Please don’t.
Lol, that you went from here to voting for me. What makes you think this isn’t my villager game?
And apparently I misunderstood something choie wrote, and red is indeed the proper color for unvotes. Though if BobArrgh can get that vote-counter working, it would be better to have them in blue.
