Sounds good, Meeko.
So we have an extra 27 hours in this Night. I assume Day Five will still end on Sunday at noon. Is this right, Ped?
Oh, sorry I didn’t notice before:
Quoth Thing Fish:
My analysis shows peeker as likely non-Blackheart because I’m assuming a low number of Scum-on-Scum votes, and peeker has voted for lots of folks, and lots of folks have voted for peeker. So in almost all scenarios where peeker is Scum, multiples of those other people are Scum, too, contrary to assumption.
Seems like people are looking at Peeker. After Peeker, we have Rysto. As I write this, Rysto comes in just after Peeker in the number of posts department. I might be a bit fuzzy here, but, I believe, save for Peeker, that Rysto is the next living lurker.
Given our track record on lurkers this game, what should we do here?
Just an idea, because I’m tired of shutting down, thinking about my final hours here. I need to be more productive than I am in this game. 
Meeko, Inner Stickler and AllWalker have posted less than peeker and I.
Honestly, Meeko, I don’t really think there are any lurkers left. People post different amounts of varying quality, but everyone in the game at this point is playing, at least in my opinion.
That should be parsed as Meeko: Inner Stickler and AllWalker,
Obviously Meeko has posted more than I have.
I think Meeko has 427 posts, while the next highest is specialed, who had 195.
This is nothing for Meeko, who posted more than 800 posts in one week of Haggle. That’s right…just 7 days of trading and he posted 800 times.
The man is not human…he’s a machine!
Yeah, some folks have more than others, but everyone has something that can be analyzed, now.
Well, maybe peeker doesn’t have anything that can be analyzed, but whatever it is, he has plenty of it.
I’m not a machine, I’m an unemployed Human.
I wonder if someone isn’t try to ell me the wrong time. I mean, when day is over with.
It would be over the top scummy of them if they do.
Well, that’s interesting. I understand what you’re saying, but given that he hasn’t actually come all that close to being lynched, I am guessing that at least some of those votes going both ways may have been face-saving votes (especially when peeker first came in and was throwing votes around willy-nilly. IOW, I think this method may not work as well for** peeker** as it might for someone with a more, um, traditional approach to the game.
Good point here fish. We should never forget what someone has done in the past, when we thrust their play into future events.
I’m curious Peeker, what is your win loss ratio? Is their a method to this madness?
It would be a very foolish scum indeed who tried a lie that obvious. Straight from the horse’s mouth:
Jesus… I’ve lost all track of this game because it seems to have forgotten that Days and Nights end at some point. Are we on Day still? Did I miss something? I keep checking in to find a Dusk post and haven’t seen one…
This is why I prefer different threads for each Day and Night. Much easier to tell when the Day or Night ends. As it is now I drown in Meeko posts everytime I come here to see if I can locate a single scarce post by Pedescribe…
Dusk post is number 1828. We’re in Night 4 right now and it ends Wednesday at some time that I’ll be at work. I haven’t bothered to figure it out more exactly.
Since Rysto has jumped ahead so far in the latest version of my post-analysis numbers, I thought I’d look over his history (spoilered for space):

Analysis after the break
Rysto has had a total of 89 posts to this thread. Out of those, approximately a third are concerned with Sin and Sinners (how they work, who he suspects is a Sinner, etc.). Another third of his posts are miscellaneous little things, about the general workings of Mafia games, explanations of terminology, clarifications of rules, etc., that are at least superficially helpful in general, but don’t really help much in the specific. The final third of his posts are largely taken up by fluff, NETAs, discussion of the vote-buying mechanic (which apparently stung him pretty badly in a previous game), discussion of my analysis methods, etc. He doesn’t say one thing about Blackhearts, or take one step towards finding them, until this past Day.
I think this all looks quite consistent with the hypothesis that Rysto is a Blackheart. The general-but-not-specific little helpful hints are a time-honored Scum tactic for looking more Townish, and a Blackheart in a three-faction game like this one could also build Town cred (while also helping his own team) by taking an active role in attempting to hunt Sinners. But a Blackheart would naturally not want to hurt Blackhearts more than was necessary.
There is no recourse if Pede is late tommorow, is there?
:dubious: What like if he’s 10 minutes late class is canceled?
No… we just wait until he posts the Dawn post and then carry on.
Thanks IS… I completely missed that I had thought we were still on Day 4. 
The “discussion” in what I now know is Night 4 makes more sense now.
