Scum mafia: On Cecil pond [Game Over]

Also, my daughter has developed a puking bug, so I may not be around as much as I’d like for the next 24-48. Chances are I’ll get it too…

Eh, don’t worry about it, a little bug can’t puke up all that much, I’m sure. But why did she develop it in the first place? Science fair? I can’t see the usefulness of a bug that pukes.
:wink:

Seriously, Drain? You’re voting for me because I voted for scum? On the basis of a “scum wouldn’t do that” argument? That’s the best case you have on Day Six?

I thought it was relatively clear that the basis of my argument was that Scum would do that.

Your argument is that scum wouldn’t allow a vote involving scum to be that close without at least one scum voting for the scum.

My argument is that Scum would vote one of their buddies in a close race for potential cred, and Scum would spread out the vote–I am assuming there is at least one Scum remaining in the one-off voters as well.

That’s two sides of the same coin. You’re so sure that you know exactly how scum would act in that situation that you’re to base a vote solely on that?

NETA: you’re willing to base a vote…

I have it on my Ipod touch. … I have Version 4.0.0 which dates to July 24 1996. I had a bookmark at cycle crash. So I guess I made it into the Cs.

Oh yeah, Night happened, death and all of that. – I totally forgot that ““night”” happened.

Help me out here:

1.Story was Vig.
2.Skeezix was 3rd Party.
3.Story Vigged Skeezix
4.Scum NK’d Story.

Yes?

Natlaw, I assume this is a list of final votes, and alignment, by player?

Isn’t this the infamous Chronos program just rewarmed?

I assume it is.

Vote Sach. You flat out ping me. Period.
Vote Diggit. Your voting history.

Come on, Meeko, even though you’re more or less confirmed Town in this game, you’ve got to give us more than this.

Vote Spawn

I’ve looked back over the end of Day 3 voting to see if Rysto’s vote was in fact scummy. This is his vote:

That was at 2:22pm EST (Day ended at 3pm) and this vote moved **Kelly **into a tie with Mahaloth. While this is a pretty crappy vote, and I agree in principle that it is unlikely that there would be NO scum voting for **Kelly **that Day, I think that it is less likely that a Scum would vote to move a team member into a tie with less than 45min left in the Day.

Vote count:
Spawn 2
Rysto 1
sachertorte 1
DiggitCamara 1

Look at it this way. The longest Kelly could have been expected to live at that point was one more Day. Kelly appears to have had no additional powers. The vote at that point was a tie; any number of people could have broken it in Mahaloth’s favor (including Scum), and in fact, that’s exactly what happened. Knowing that Kelly was Scum and wasn’t going to live much longer, I would fully expect at least one Scum to vote Kelly and vote late, just to look good later. This, or something very similar, has happened in pretty much every game I’ve played in.

You know, I had been looking at Day 3 in isolation, but you’re right; Scum would’ve known that **Kelly **was a goner eventually and moving a Scum player into a tie or lead is a great way to get Townie cred. And looking back at the last hour of voting that day it was **Rysto **who put Kelly into a tie, then Cookies(known town) put him ahead, before **Alka **(known Scum) moved it back into a tie. It was **story **(known town) who finally put **Mahaloth **into the lead.

So I’m with you now…

vote Rysto

I really don’t think that you guys are thinking this through. Consider this: if I had voted for Mahaloth over Kelly, would you be voting for me toDay?

Is it worth it to reevaluate Kelly listing Digger at this point?

Sach just pings me on the language used to chew Drain out.

Diggits votes were all wrong to be town.

But, I wonder if Rysto isn’t harvesting the fruits of an investment prior, re Mahaloth over Kelly

Hard to say. If everyone who had voted for Kelly on Day 3 had been proven to be Pond, I’d continue to look at those who had helped save Kelly that Day.

I’m trying to catch up! I am happy to be back and sort of surprised that I’m still alive. Back later.
