just because it has changed so much since this morning:
2- hocow (StarvingButStrong, Pleonast)
2- Pygmy Rugger - (Queuing, brewha)
1- MonkeyMensch - (Lakai)
1- brewha - (Fretful Porpentine)
don’t think I missed anyone.
Get your votes in people, only a little more than 24 hours to go!
At this point, I still believe that the SK has got to go. The only real hint we have for an SK identifier is that he or she will want to avoid attention from both the Town and the Mafia.
The three most “under the radar” players (on my radar anyway) are hocow. StarvingButStrong and Rysto*. Rysto I’m pretty sure is Town. StarvingButStrong is slightly higher on my possible-Town list, so I’ll vote hocow.
Yeah, yeah, I know I said hocow had a point about Fretful Porpentine’s Blaster Master-related conspiracy theory, but such an elaborate theory is more likely to attract attention, rather than less, it’s just so out there. (Although, I’d still like to know what Fretful was [del]smoking[/del] thinking, if she can.)
Well, as near as I can remember, I was thinking: a) there was no way the recent role claims could ALL be true; b) all the smoke and mirrors about whom the Vig could kill had resulted in the death of Winston Smith, a townie, and I was inclined to think Mafia had engineered it; c) one particular exchange between glee and Blaster Master kind of reminded me of that scene in Richard III* where Richard and Buckingham fix things up between them so Richard ends up with the crown while making a public show of refusing it.
a) and b) had some partial grain of truth to them, since one of the role-claimers (FCOD) really was lying, and kivvik did, in fact, nudge everyone toward Winston Smith during the debate. As for c), my only excuse is that I wrote large chunks of my MA thesis on that scene
I’m not sure why I thought the Vig wouldn’t kill anybody who made a false Vig role claim at once.
I don’t know why, but this post strikes me as an opportunistic attack of brewha.
Storyteller was the first to raise suspicion of brewha’s “playing for yourself” strategy and now Pygmy Rugger is bringing it up again with very weak reasoning to back it up. How do you get “playing for yourself” out of voting for the third most suspicious player? I see no connection, all I see is Pygmy Rugger trying to get a bandwagon going.
I printed out Rysto’s (thank you) spreadsheet of votes and hocow always ended up with a vote on a townie at end of day. That is until yesterday (game time) when with fifteen real life minutes to go she jumps on the Aguecheek bandwagon with this. It just struck me as a quickie rationale: “for many reasons already mentioned.”
Hocow had also been sticking out from the scum side of my uncertainty cloud so I vote hocow.
As for me, I am torn. After I made my last post, basically aiming suspicion at Pygmy (again) and MonkeyMensch, Pygmy responded. MonkeyMensch, by way of contrast, has not aswered my comments and has only poked in with a quickie vote for the player already leading in the vote. On the other hand, Pygmy hasn’t voted at all. I need to think about this a few more minutes.
I haven’t voted yet because I hadn’t decided which of my top 3 to vote for when I left the office yesterday, and was out of town all evening. I most likely won’t be on until right before the day ends.
Fair enough. Now, I totally get where you’re comming from. Now that I’m online, I want to cast my vote, but I’m pretty sure storyteller’s going to call me out for being oportunistic if I vote hocow. However, I think brewha and Lakai are right. It doesn’t matter which of the three people on my scum list die, as long as I think they’re all scum. I’m torn between voting for hocow, brewha, or holding my vote until I get home. But, I think not voting is even more suspicious, and since brewha just unvoted me, I’m going to go for hocow.
storyteller was also the first to bring up me being opportunistic in my attacks. Your reasoning to back it up seems pretty weak, too, especially considering you “don’t know why”. :dubious:
NAF, can you give Pleonast a break, since he’s told us he doesn’t want to post as much to avoid pointing the crowd in any direction, given his status?
And give Rysto and/or hocow at least until the “morning” to make their posts, if they don’t come in “today”?
Players I don’t trust, because of laying low: hocow and Rysto. Few votes, few posts. At this point in the game, it’s a scum tell.
Players I don’t trust, because of what they’ve said or voted: Queuing, Pygmy Rugger and Lakai. It wouldn’t surprise me if more than one of those on my list was a Townie, but those are my suspicions.
I’ll change my vote: unvote hocow, vote Rysto. Don’t take this as an endorsement for hocow, I won’t mind if they get lynched.
I’m afraid that hasn’t been update since part-way through Day 2. Google Docs does not play nicely with my Linux system. Firefox’s Javascript interpreter under Linux is unbearably slow. Did you mean sturmhauke’s spreadsheet?
Sorry. Earlier in this game, I was attending university and had plenty of spare time. For the summer, I’m working full-time, so I have a lot less time to keep up with this game. Plus, the NHL playoffs have started so that how I’ve been spending my evenings recently. I had planned on doing a bunch of analysis last night, but I ended up falling asleep at about 7:30 or so.
I don’t have time to vote quite yet, but I’ve been leaning towards Pygmy Rugger. I will get some analysis in before the Night, and I promise not to start any last-minute bandwagons.
Don’t worry, Rysto, my vote is intended to get you to vote and speak up. I want to avoid bandwagonning. I’ll switch my vote to someone else once you vote. Of course, you’re still on my suspicious list, so defend yourself.
I myself don’t have as much time as I did earlier in the game. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have a verifiable Town role, so I can get away with vague posts and accusations while I await my inevitable murder.
