OK, caught up on my notes again, which reminds me of something I forgot to address, what with the excitement over Alka. On the topic of testing Daphne by having her block Drain Bead: Yes, if she’s a Scum roleblocker, it’ll potentially tie up her use of her power. But if she’s a Scum roleblocker, then I don’t just want her power tied up; I want her dead. Even a powerless Scum is still a Scum.
Discussing your protection strategy in any more detail than the above is probably not the best idea.
NETA: Damn intervening posts. The above was directed at peeker.
peeker, you should know better than that. Even if jpei couldn’t use his power again, that didn’t make him vanilla. What it made him was a confirmed (or at least, mostly confirmed) Townie, which is very nearly the most powerful thing Town can have. Now, TexCat, that would be a poor choice for Doctor protection, since we didn’t know about her power role until she died.

With all the voting and unvoting, please check your votes(and those against you).
but how can you be so sure? what other targets do you think i would be protecting?
also, i don’t know how to do this so someone either more industrious or smarter would need to figure it out.
as of this post how many folks have referenced insane or being nuts (or some reasonable facscimile)?
wifom for scum is a good thing.
let’s see if booz is still going to play the vote straight. soft claims stink. something is just not right. and you weren’t blocked but you still failed. hmm.
vote boozy
and while i understand the ltl votes, because that would be my default position. that’s some serious weak sauce on the fs[ voters. i mean seriously after today you can’t buck up better than that? i would definitely conclude that there is some anti town action going down there.
You could have protected yourself or any of the claimed power roles, but any other choice doesn’t really make any sense, even from a WiFoM standpoint. After all, you (assuming you’re Town) didn’t know anyone else’s alignment, so a random protect would have a chance of hitting Scum, and therefore do no good at all (or possibly even harm, if you protected them from a Vig or the like).
So if I had to pick between lynching Daphne and Drain, I’d say that the case against Daphne is stronger, but mislynching a VT is less dangerous than mislynching a weird combo-power role like Daphne.
That being said, I’m going to go along with Tom Scud’s line of reasoning, which seems to be the most rational to me right now, and
vote: Thing Fish
I still want peeker to hang, but I understand I’m not getting any traction there.
We’ll see how things shake out by tomorrow.
Butthurt much because you’re not getting enough information out of me? Come on, peeker, why would I arrange something stupid like the Alka scheme if I were scum? Do you think that I, as scum, would value my head over that of a combo of mine another another player’s?
Argh! Caught up (more or less) but no time to post in detail!
Unvote Boozy
vote Freudian Slit
Detailed defense of charges against me to follow tomorrow morning.
Um, could we have a translation of that sentence?
Damn, I hate to think we need a Squid-English dictionary. I really intended something with that. Something like:
Do you think that a scummy Squid would value his own head over that of a two scum players, either one to be revealed as scum at the death of the other one?
NETA: remove the extraneous indefinite article in that last sentence.

I’ve been skimming, so hopefully I didn’t miss anything, but assuming I didn’t, the day ends Wedensday, October 14, 11:35 AM.
Alka unvoted boozy a while back; I don’t think he voted anyone.
Mods, I unvoted in post #1377
Since I unvoted after the Boozy/Alka number I should be excluded from this conclusion (phew!) however I do not think it is anti-town to vote for someone who has added nothing to the game in over a week. If FS is scum or third party, we have a good lynch. If she is town and we mislynch, we are no worse off than we are currently.
If we were to take all claims as plausible for the moment, we shouldn’t be voting for any of these 7:
Alka - Town power
Boozy - Town power
Daphne - Town power
Drain - Town Vanilla
Gryff - Town power
OaOW - Town power
Peeker - Town power
So we would be left with 13 players in which to find a scum leader, a possible scum roleblocker, 3 more scum (goons or not, based on 25% rule) , a possible third party and 7 more townies (vanilla or not). I can confidently exclude myself so I would have exactly a 50% chance of a successful scum hit from lynching any of the following players:
AllWalker
Amrussel
Chronos
CIAS
Freudian - inactive
Normal
Oredigger - inactive
Scuba - recent sub with weird fetish for doilies
Thing Fish
Tiltawhirl
Tom
USCDiver - inactive
I agree that the case against Thing Fish is convincing and I previously suspected him/her for starting a scum bandwagon on Daphne when several players raised suspicion but didn’t follow up with a vote #1192 leaving Drain to take the first move followed by a weak vote from Gryff (who, despite the claim and recent events, still pings my scumdar)…
Vote Thing Fish
