Ok, thanks just a heck of a lot for spoiling the ending. I am still on post 400 or so. Crap, gonna fast forward a bit.

[quote=“Mahaloth, post:1237, topic:494271”]

Did you just vote ed because he spent early time in the game emphasizing that we should not edit…something we all pretty much agree with? Did you just throw a vote on him for being a pain in the ass? **NOT PRO-TOWN**

Kind of scummy to fling votes on players like that.

When you voted for me, briefly, it was because I was giving instruction to a new player about Ped’s way of explaining rules\*\* before the game even began or roles were assigned\*\*, which is ridiculous. Were you suggesting I was scum before roles were pmed out??? That vote was also **NOT PRO-TOWN**

Did you just edit a post as well, something we all agreed to not do? NOT PRO-TOWN

Hey, can we chill a little with the generalities? I know that a few of you have taken it into mind that editing is OMG SO SCUMMY, but not all of us agree. Especially on this board, where the edit window is so very tiny. I object when things like this are posted.

I agreed to nothing of the sort. A few people agreed to it, a bunch of more people ignored it. Up until now I was in the ignore it camp, but if you’re going to spazz out like that over an edit, I’ll register my own opinion.

GO Coca Cola, Go.

It was obviously done in jest. How anyone would justify a vote on a joke is a far reach.

PIAW gets an OMGYS vote.

We’ve had scum give themselves away before by posting something to the main board that was intended for the scum board. We’ve had scum give themselves away in previous games by saying that there’s exactly 3 scum in the game.

Scum, no matter how talented they are at this game, will sometimes slip. The no edit rule means that they can’t cover up those slips.

You are quite right. I over generalized on this point.

Now that I think about it, I should address the “spazz out” comment as well.

I’m not spazzing. I listed other reasons for my vote for peeker in addition to the edit, which was not enough on its own to merit a vote.

> On another note, I’ve finally finished the post number/content count I’ve been planning on since the start of the Day. Starting when **pedescribe** announced Day 1 (since that seems to have been when role PMs were sent out), I classified each post as “signal” or “noise”, and tallied for each player. **This was necessarily subjective, of course** , and others might come to slightly different counts. A post was considered “signal” if it contained a vote, a question to the mod, discussion of general strategies, discussion of actions of other posters, or other material relevant to the game. A post was considered “noise” if it did not contain any material relevant to the game. A high amount of noise, or a low ratio of signal to noise, is a bad sign, since it may indicate a Scum trying to hide in plain sight: Escape being labeled a lurker, while still not providing any actual information to help the Town. Totals are up through post #390

Bolding mine.

Yaknow I appreciate the level of effort that goes into these exercises but …

Because of potential bias on the part of the poster there are false outcomes that can be reached.

And I totally understand and agree. There are slips that occur but you have to take them in context to a certain extent. A newb fixing a coding error feels different than a more experienced player changing syntax. I just didn’t see the necessity of **ed** getting all worked up. That’s why I was screwing around. I didn’t change jack except to add that I was phuqing around. Was kind of meant as humor. The fact that I get called on it, to the extent that a vote is cast seems like a reach. That’s very weak in my opinion.

How many of those slips would have been editable under the rules this board imposes? The only one I can think of is the one Santo made early on, and he edited that post anyways regardless of the rules. Most slips are not immediately obvious as slips, and as such would not be edited since the window is so small on this board. I’m not saying allow editing willy nilly on every board in every game. I’m saying on THIS board, in THIS game, that a blanket player enforced no editing rule is stupid.

Ok, I’ve made it to about page 11 on the BB and need some help.

She’s not new. She’s an experienced player from Facebook who knows the consequences of editing posts. She knows why it’s not allowed, and she knows how to correct her errors without editing.

I knew she wasn’t a new player. I knew she knew why we don’t edit. She even knew not to edit. She edited and then apologized for editing. To me, that just looked like someone trying to set up a precident for editing. It was the only thing I saw on Day 1 that had potential pro-scum motivation and no pro-town motivation. Therefore it got my vote.

You may come to your own conclusions as to how you want to look at editing.

**Chronos** , are you on ADD medication? If so, I think you need your dose adjusted downward.😛 Seriously, great summary.

\*\*Claims: \*\*\*\*special ed \*\*and \*\*Meeko \*\*have claimed to be “busybodies”, which is similar to Masons. They have their own board. They have this cute Odd Couple bickering thing going on. Since nobody else has counterclaimed, this seems probably true. IIRC they have not specified whether there are more of them, but I am not 100% about that.

\*\*paul \*\*yesterday, and **Mahaloth** today, have claimed that their vote was bought. Since **paul** is now confirmed Town, this seems to confirm the presence of a Politician. Since the Politician directed **paul** to cast the crucial vote which lynched a Sinner, the Politician is almost certainly not a Sinner.

Dead folks: \*\*Telcontar \*\*(Town protective/investigative role), \*\*Spurious George \*\*(vanilla Town), **Captain Pinkies** (Hester Prynne, who was mentioned in the opening color as the leader of the Sinner faction, but was listed in his death notice only as “A Sinner”, leading to much speculation about whether he had any special powers or whether he might even have been the only Sinner), **paulwhowasaghostandnowisevenmoreofone** (Town with multiple powers).

So, if **Chronos’** estimate of an initial ratio of 11:4:3 is correct (which has not been in any way confirmed but which seems reasonable), we are now at 8 Town, 4 Blackhearts and 2 Sinners, which means we could conceivably be at LyLo as soon as Tomorrow. Gulp.

For those of you new to **peeker** , he likes to give people nicknames, which are usually somewhat comprehensible, but how do we get from “ **Nanook of the North Shore** ” to “ **Coca Cola** ”😕

Nanook leads to polar bears leads to those cute commercials by Coke featuring the polar bear family leads to Peeker calling me Coca Cola.
