In that you admitted that it had no statistical value but didn’t condemn the practice either. I took it as a minor endorsement.
I haven’t seen much suspicious goingons yet…
It’s weird that zuma still hasn’t posted. She’s experienced and, from what I’ve read, insightful, I’d have expected something by now, so
Vote zuma
as a “lynch lurkers” policy. I’ve never seen Sitnam before, so I don’t know whether he’s avoiding suspicion, caught up in something else, or just expecting the game to start later (hmm…maybe that explains zuma too). anyway, I figure this is a step up from random voting (which I dislike) and I have little else to go on.
:smack:
K, Sitnam is supposed to be bolded, and I meant to say “many suspicious goings-on”
Not a big deal, but I’m going to point out that votes should follow the form:
vote username
I will count Nanook of the North Shore’s vote for MadTheSwine as valid, but please include vote in blue bold to be “official”. I don’t want the game to devolve into some sort of mind-game of “did that vote count?” or “I left off vote on purpose to manipulate the vote.” Not that any of you would try and manipulate the game in such a way. The minimum criteria for a valid vote is “vote username” in blue.
Bold, single line, by itself is a courtesy to me.
ditto
Oh, Nevermind.
1 - bufftabby (WF Tomba)

1 - MadTheSwine (Nanook of the North Shore)
1 - Menocchio (fluiddruid)
1 - Sitnam (Blaster Master)
3 - fluiddruid (Queen of Town, Menocchio, Mind Wanderer)
BT my new goddess (of blackberry). The missus still keeps that designation on the home front.
Hey, Sach everyone seems suspicious. Anyway you can let a newb have a break? If you would give me another fourteen votes I could vote for everyone
Please, pretty please?
Still ain’t feeling the love on a purely random lynch. I am going to keep my vote where it is. I could see changing to MTS if the rest of the town thinks that would be more productive.
Now that I’ve had a chance to drink about it MTS is primary while WFT is secondary. Therefore:
unvote W F Tomba
vote Mad the Swine
Remember, I’m from Texas where we vote early and often.
Continued apologies to ICM for the wrongly attributed quote.
I am still anticipating that HUGE trophy for my mantle. I will not let myself down.
I’m here.
All I can say is I’ve had a busy, chaotic, and fucking awful couple of weeks, and I have not responded well to the associated stress. It’s not reflected well on me in any aspect of my life.
I have also not read a lick of this game. All I can do is promise to do so Sunday.
If I fail to do so by Monday, I’ll request to be replaced… I don’t think it will come to that. Just bear with me for 24 hours or so. Again, sorry for the absense.
And that’s not a scum tell or an excuse… Just the honest truth. Again, sorry for the absence and I promise to read and post by late sunday/early monday.
Confarnit, I never live past Day 3. 
I didn’t explicity condemn something that I spoke negatively about, so it’s an endorsement? That’s pretty sticky reasoning, Menocchio. I’ve got my eye on you.
Sorry I’m late, I’ve changed my user profile to make my Email address available. If I’m still in it, sachertorte, you can email me at:
Yay!
Everyone has now checked in.
This is the kind of “follower” reasoning that I mentioned in an earlier post that I don’t like. Don’t do what the rest of the town thinks is “productive.” Vote for who you think is scummy, and give reasons why you think so. You followed this quote up by changing your vote to MadtheSwine, saying he was “primary.” What does that mean? I think you need to explain that vote.
On an unrelated note, zuma has checked in with RL excuses for his absence. Nothing much to say about it, except that I have played with zuma before and he’s probably not bullshitting. Also, he said he would ask to be subbed out if he felt unable to play, so I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt:
Unvote zuma
Also, Sitnam has appeared and checked in, and there appear to have been communication issues there. I expect his/her contribution will begin now.
So who does that leave for lurkers? Anyone? I just went through and did a “substantive post count,” i.e. I counted everyone’s posts and weeded out what I thought was fluff/non-game-related. (Obviously, this is somewhat subjective, but I tried to be generous with what I considered game-related). Here’s my count:
- Blaster Master (14)
- bufftabby (2)
- IceCreamMan (8)
- zuma (0)
- pedescribe (8)
- WF Tomba (2)
- Koldanar (10)
- MindWanderer (2)
- Queen of Town (3)
- MadTheSwine (1)
- Nanook of the North Shore (1)
- ShadowFacts (4 - including this one)
- Menocchio (3)
- peekercpa (12)
- Sitnam (0)
- fluiddruid (3)
So, besides telling me that I need to participate more, it shows that a few people are dominating the conversation so far. Time for the rest to step up, myself included. With that in mind, and keeping with my “vote for lurkers” plan:
**Vote Nanook of the North Shore **
A new day dawns on Simpleton. The evenings fog rolls from the hills, the cock stretches it’s neck and begins to crow, the children wipe the sleep from their innocent eyes, and Blaster Master calls for my death.
The official town sign outta read:
Simpleton, pop. 16 You will never find a more retched hive of scum and cut throat bastards.
This is my first game and I can’t wait.
I agree with Blaster Masters assertion that at least a random lynch will give us some information so I’ve randomly selected:
Vote Blaster Master
(color removed by me)
Really? That was random? Because it reads like an OMGUS vote to me…
That’s four posts per Day, right?
