Current vote count:
2 – OAOW (voted by: Chronos [180], Jimmy Chitwood [184])
Having just come out of a game where I was almost lynched for making a slip, where the greatest pressure after the slip came from scum players, I am almost inclined to vote for OAOW. For that and the speechifying (paraphrased) “Oh here it goes again another day 1 lynch”, which doesn’t match my experiences playing with OAOW.
It’s a simple play for a scum player to latch onto a typo and often a good one. Since they are able to take something that in reality is not a scum tell and turn it into one. Other typos I am more suspicious of, especially cultural misspellings that a moderator would not make (an american mod would not say behaviour or neutralised, two typos which I’ve seen recently by british scum players).
@Peek, maybe I’m being obtuse, but are you claiming that the name of your role in this game is wicked witch of the west? You keep alluding that that is the case, but not actually saying a definite yes or no.
oh for goodness’ sakes. yes i am the wicked witch of the west. i am a witch and i win with the town.
when you folks go out with a date do you sit around and talk and stuff. “darn you look nice.” “that is so interesting.” “i love kittens, as well.”
or do you just come out with “wanna fuck”?
subtlety is apparantly lost on this generation.
Wait, is one of those the right answer?
snipped
No, but we introduce ourselves. 
How about, “Wanna fuck kittens?”
It appears that I am the only person in this game with a parenthetical description that’s longer than one word. What does that mean? Who the fuck knows.
I’m kind of curious why OAOW got so many votes for picking up on the spelling error but Meeko dropped what appeared to be PIS and got a pass. Personally I read his original post about the scum knowing all about each other and I thought it was a slip. Of course it’s been explained now but I think it’s interesting that it was ignored.
Admittedly I’ve only been scum once but the first thing that we did was post our PMs to insure that we all knew about each other. All that my initial PM said was the names of my teammates thought we all had the same name so I guess it was a moot point. Of course one thing that came out of the last game was that the people calling out PIS slips tend to be scum and in the Last game Rysto was almost caught that way so it might be worth looking at Special Ed overcalling out a PIS slip, even though if I’d been online I would have as well.
I think Peeker is lost among the Mafia.
I, at least am trying to swim back to the shores of sanity. Please join me.
Working backwards on Digger’s Snipped quote :
I can’t reconcile “it’s been explained now” with "it’s interesting that it was ignored’. I see no vote from you here. Should I assume that bodes well for me then?
I intended the entire “Scum know each other” to mean user name. If I do not offer clarification in that specific post, I know for a fact that one of my sub-headed reasons address it. I should point out that I made clarifications, or at least additional points on stance long before Ed started up on me. Please look at the timing, look at my responses, and note that the terms are ambiguous. I’m not trying to play both sides here, I am just saying that there is room for benefit of the doubt, if you guys are not inclined to give me anything else.
But, if you guys want to vote me for PIS, go ahead. I just hope when you mislynch me, it will help you to re-evaluate how you consider a PIS. At first blush, this may appear to help Scum, but I assure you, it helps Town. By definition a PIS can only work if it is a “correct” [perfect] slip. I don’t have any PIS here, no slip to show. In as many words, I am town. ((At least this time, I don’t have votes. Perhaps by my 90th game I will be where you all were in your 9th. -In one sense, I thought I was already there.))
I think a large majority of the one time held votes on One And Only came because it was an out and out vote. Not a FOS, not a laundry list of questions. It was an over eager, EARLY day 1 vote. --To say nothing of the ““Reason”” for the vote. That’s been covered before.
Quoth Drain Bead:
Not quite; One and Only Wanderers has the description “Olympic gold medalist”. Still, “spiritual leader of the nation of Argentina” does seem like rather an outlier. But if you’re not sure what the significance of that is, then I sure as heck don’t. Assuming, of course, that you’re telling the truth when you say that you don’t know the significance.
As for Meeko’s alleged “slip”, he’s had a tendency in other games to take things as certain which were merely likely, and the Scum starting the game knowing who each other are is in fact likely.[sup]*[/sup] Heck, just look at this game right here: Meeko is similarly certain, on less evidence, that NAF is a power role, even though there’s no plausible way he could have perfect information on that, yet. Net result is, coming from Meeko, I think this is a null tell.
- There have been games where the Scum didn’t get this info in their PMs (Screamers, where I was Scum, was one), but that game Scum were allowed to talk during the Day, so we still started off by introducing ourselves.
When making claims I feel it is better to lock people into a position, and close the door on “It was just a joke”, “Did you miss the subtext”, that kind of thing.
And FTR, I’ve had better luck with the second than the first, so maybe subtlety along with chivalry is a lost art.
Catching up after what was a busy weekend.
I totally get that he is catching heat. It was a lousy vote with a silly reason. He made a mistake and deserves to catch heat for it. Do I think he deserves votes, not really. I wouldn’t vote for him based on that, but I do think he deserves the heat he is getting. That’s how mafia works.
Speaking of how mafia works, I can’t believe that you aren’t catching more heat for hopping on the bandwagon and then hopping right back off again when you realized that town wasn’t on board with OAOW’s catch. Scummy as hell for Day 1.

vote peeker
for being so cagey about his name and parenthetical description (which we still don’t know). It’s distracting town at best, scummy as hell at worst.
He’s a witch, TexCat.
@Texcat: How is peeker not disclosing his parenthetical scummy? Or in other words, What is the scum motivation for doing so? I don’t see it, nor do I see what the point the point of creating a distraction centered around himself would be for scum. What I do see is someone latching onto a recent discussion topic (peeker’s allusive claim) and trying to turn it into a legitimate vote.
vote Texcat
Hey look at that – Vote counts! You totally weren’t gonna get a vote count from me until tomorrow. You guys are so lucky to have ShadowFacts on the case.
He could have been a lot clearer about it. And I don’t think he had any motivation for acting as he did, other than the fact that he seems to like to be weird. I don’t think he’s intentionally anti Town–he always is like this so it’s hard to get a good read on him. It’s not helpful so I have no clue WHY he does it.
Here we go.
“peeker is just being peeker”
There. Someone said it. You knew it was coming.
He’s being peeker, but I wouldn’t say he’s JUST being peeker. To clarify, I think his behavior is extremely harmful to town. I don’t think he intends it that way, though. I’m torn on whether or not to vote for him. I honestly don’t think I could ever tell if he was town or not. In any game. It’s easy for scum to vote for him because he so consistently is anti town, so they can get in an easy vote. Then again, it’s easy for a townie to vote for him because he is so anti town.
It’s a terrible way he has of playing, but what are we supposed to do about it?
