so we should always no-lynch on D1? that’s what you’re saying. besides all lynches are blind unless your scum.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear.
That “you” was meant generically, because I have seen some people saying that. I wanted to point out that I was not voting Visor for that reason.
I should note that you (SP, not the generic “you”) have a point about Visor’s silence being potentially Mafia-motivated. I know that I tend to clam up when I’m mafia under heavy suspicion to avoid giving away something about my teammates.
But as scum, wouldn’t you try to defend yourself with at least some sort of response? Twist some accusers words or make up your own accusation or point out an inconsistency or something? I guess I’ve never seen scum just clam up and say nothing. I’ve seen scum say something like “well, there’s no way I’ll convince anyone but I’m town and you’ll all be sorry” in the face of an overwhelming vote count, but not say nothing at all. And it’s awfully weird to me that it looks to me like he started his own wagon.
But, to quote Hal, that’s probably just what they want me to think!
Besides just stating that it is scummy, then paraphrasing what I said to make it sound as indecisive as possible, could you explain why it is scummy.
The person I would most like to see lynched is you. But it is Day 1 and I am not sure of anything. I was okay with Visorslashes lynch before, but Texcat’s point about what his silence might mean leaned me even more in that direction. That said, I still thought your misdirecting defense against Stanislaus’ case was more scummy, so I voted you.
If I had needed to vote Visorslash to prevent a no-lynch, I would have had no problem doing that.
We’re coming up to 9:30pm, which means Dusk should fall soon (10pm at the latest, iirc).
Nothing I read turned up a pointer worth lynching on. Maybe Tomorrow.

Because it’s so wishy washy - it’s not taking any kind of stance at all. It’s barely making a case. Yes, it’s Day1, and that sucks. But that’s no reason to flip flop back and forth, all in one post. And your last line reads to me like you’re seeking other players approval for your vote. I find that scummy.
You’re kind of doing it again. You were OK with Visorslash’s lynch before, and you leaned even more in that direction with more info. But you ended up voting for me, which is fine. Yet you’d switch your vote back to **Visorslash **to avoid a no-lynch. Which might also be fine, but you placed your vote when it’s patently obvious that no-lynch isn’t going to happen and when the wagon’s already running away on Visorslash. It just looks to me like you’re trying to avoid jumping on a wagon and playing both sides while you’re at it. Apologies if you think this is mischaracterizing you; it’s just how it came across.
:smack:
The forum software automatically removes nested quotes, I believe.
That’s not at all what I said, please re-read.
So I’m not sure what happened: I thought I posted Dusk when I left work, back at 3:00, but apparently it didn’t take. Thus, a semi-abbreviated version:
Dusk, Day One
*The day was uneasy; no blood had yet been shed, but the signs and omens were portentous. Each of them felt eyes watching, from the sides of the road, from the insides of the carriages that rumbled alongside - and none of them believed those eyes to be kind. In the end, they seized upon one, a sinner to be sure, hoping his blood would placate whatever malevolent forces had seized upon them. Like all of them, he was a sinner indeed - and they were not, collectively, particularly inclined toward mercy.
But one among them felt he could be forgiven after all, and when they went to bed that night, none had died.*
Visorslash, who was and is Town-aligned, has been pardoned and is NOT dead.
Night One begins here, and will end between 1:00PM and 5:00PM Eastern on Saturday. June 30. All Night actions received up until 1:00PM on Saturday will definitely be accepted; any Night actions submitted after this time will be accepted until the posting of the Dawn of Day Two.
Have fun!
Argh. I thought this variable end of Day thing wouldn’t be too bad, but after 7 hours of F5ing, I’m re-thinking.
And, after 7 hours, I end up cross-posting with storyteller. :smack:
Good work by the pardoner!
I’ll post a bit later today on what has pinged me.
@ the people who said I gave up
Assume makes an ass out of you and me. But really, just you at the moment.
I have a feeling the pardoner and Visorslash are one and the same.
Welcome back, Visor! Note that I never voted for you. Not that I exactly came to your defense or anything, but you know how it is.
Very nicely done, Pardoner! And I’ll leave it at that for tonight…Thirsty Thursday at the ballpark and mafia is not a wise mix. 
it would seem he was. very sly move on your part, Visorslash. now we have a voting record to work with.
And that is why we shouldn’t choose a no-lynch.
Well done!
And yes, you fooled me.
Well, on behalf of one person on the lynch mob, I guess my feelings can be summed up in one word:
Oops.
I have respect for the move you played, Visorslash. You didn’t fully ping my scum radar but I just couldn’t make sense of why you’d be acting the way you did. I seriously, honestly, never considered your role as pardoner as a means of explaining what was going on. Well done.
Note to everyone: I’m going out of town today for about 2-3 days so limited access to Dope and posting. Just FYI.
Holy cats! Nicely played, nicely played indeed. I think there’s good info to be had in that wagon of yours.
Most impressive. I can’t stop grinning. That was cool.
By the by, storyteller, check your profile. The links in there are for Evil Dead Mafia.
Trying it out…so it does. I did not know that. Good to know. Stanislaus, apologies.
For a brief period of time, we had nested quotes and it was glorious. but as with so many other things, dopers couldn’t handle it and screeched about the possibility of misattribution and so the power was taken away again. No, I’m not bitter.
