Wow. This really does seem a good catch. I won’t switch votes at the moment (to spare things for the GM) but I join in the call for a GOOOOD explanation from Pygmy.
Ok, the fact that I am now in a voting bloc with Pygmy and Winston gives me the heebs. Damn.
Unvote chrisk/JSexton.
I’ll re-cast my vote tonight.
No kidding.
Any reason you think Sturm, Auto and chrisk are townies? One way to find out is to hang Blaster Master or Pleonast, who have both expressed their trust of chrisk and their approval of his Open Detection System.
Hanging FlyingCowOfDoom won’t gain us much. If he is scum it will help, but if he’s town then we have nothing. If Pleonast turns out to be town, then I would have to rethink my whole approach to the game. If he is mafia, I’m going after Blaster Master and then Sturmhauke, who he defended.
The only concrete evidence we gain will come from dead bodies. We need to choose one that will give us the most.
Sorry I haven’t posted for a while - real life got in the way. :eek:
I didn’t post any warning about this though (as you can see from the thread).
I continue to believe that Autolycus is best out of the game - as Zuma put it neatly:
However it does seem a good idea to ask the Vig to deal with him. As Autolycus doesn’t appear to post anything worthwhile, he won’t mount any informational defence.
Now if JSexton has taken over from ChrisK, we should get something interesting.
So lynch ChrisK
and please will someone* save the thread from any more depressing Autolycus posts!
*If not the Vig, could SK do us all a favour…
I’m going to say ditto.
I’ll in fact ask both of them to target him in case one gets blocked. And for the GA to not protect him. If we get only 1 kill at night and he survives then we’ll know something. But I suspect we’ll be pleased.
I still don’t see that Auto’s presence here could do anything but help the town, but i do think we’re on to something better than my personal distaste here:
unvote Autolycus
Vote Pygmy Rugger
I’s begs to differ. Maybe I ‘aint some pro at analyzations like youz guys, but I’ms contributin’ lately like. I’s admit math aint my style, see, but I’m helpin’ in my own way. Not me’s fault if ya is too dumb to recogsnize it.
If ya asks me, I think you’re just tryin’ to off me and save the mafia the pleasure. Ands besides, I still thinks a man should do 'im owns dirty work too. Kids these days gots no sense of ethic like stuff.
Geez I got me’s a bad feeling about tonight. Anyone’s sellin’ life insurance?
You know, I never thought counting would be so hard.
I am going to hold off on doing another vote count until I rethink my method for keeping track of the votes, because clearly it is majorly flawed. I should have the next vote count up by tomorrow night. Until then, Pleonast is still in the lead…um use MtS’s most recent vote count as the last official one.
:dubious:
Um, not real sure how you figure we’ll get information from lynching chrisk/jsexton. chrisk hasn’t posted anything that I think we would find useful, and jsexton hasn’t posted anything yet. I’m sure he is about ears deep in the thread though. This is highly suspicious, and makes you scum in my eyes now. I don’t think I need to change my vote now…we can lynch you soon enough.
Well, my reasoning behind believing sturmhauke is town I outlined on Day 1, but I don’t blame you if you don’t want to search for it. Basically, I think he got piled on Day 1 with absolutely no evidence against him. One or two random votes for someone with no basis behind them doesn’t really tell us much, but a big push to lynch someone with no evidence smells scummy to me. If scum are pushing to kill someone, it seems de facto evidence that the someone is question is not scum.
Autolycus is either town or the worst Mafia player ever.
Finally, I have no solid reason for viewing chrisk/JSexton to be town, other than that chrisk’s posts in this thread have read much more like confused and frustrated townie than like a master manipulator. Read his reasons for leaving the game again - if taken at face value, don’t they sound a lot more like someone sorry he can’t help his team than someone who’s Master Plan was unfolding exactly as he’d hoped?
Well, hanging FCOD gains us something if he’s scum. It is true that if I’m wrong, we gain nothing. Bears thinking about. Because of our experience last Day, though, I’m still not comfortable voting anywhere in the vicinity of Pleonast until he’s had a chance to speak in his own defense.
Well, hell. I’m so wrapped up in my own line of investigation that this blew past me the first time through.
For the record, I did post on this thread that I’d be away until late last night (I was working on my mother-in-law’s barbershop chorus show - seriously - all day yesterday). The others, I don’t know about.
I’ll wait to change my vote until I hear Pygmy’s explanation, but this might be the best lead we’ve seen so far. Nice catch, Mad.
(uncolored quote to avoid vote-confusion)
Other than the aforementioned comment, Pygmy Rugger’s activity so far is:
-vote for chrisk (JSexton)
-a bunch of drinking posts
That looks like it’s about it. Unless I completely missed it, he didn’t contribute to the Day One discussion at all. That by itself is excusable, since the day’s end caught everyone by surprise.
I’m happy with my vote for Pleonast right now, but I also think Pygmy needs to explain himself.
Pygmy Rugger did say IIRC. Maybe he didn’t. He also voiced reservations about **Blaster Master ** a little before that post. **MadTheSwine ** may have just picked up on an honest mistake. **FCOD ** jumped right in to get the wheels of the wagon turning. Since I think **FCOD ** is scum (as does storyteller0910), it leads me to believe that **Pygmy ** is innocent. **Menocchio ** has also chimed in with a vote for Pygmy, and now if I have counted correctly, he is up to 4 votes. Pygmy, please come defend yourself.
Hi, folks. I’ve been skimming along the last week, but I need to start over with a deep re-read. That’ll come tomorrow. unvote in the meantime.
Also, pima, how about you let Pygmy answer for him/herself?
Vote count:
Pleonast - 6 (Fern Forest, Fretful Porpentine, Gadarene, Kat, Lakai, Suburban Plankton)
Blaster Master - 4 (brewha, hocow, pimaspinner, Queuing)
Pygmy Rugger - 4 (FlyingCowOfDoom, MadTheSwine, Menocchio, Zuma)
chrisk/JSexton - 3 (glee, Pygmy Rugger, Winston Smith)
Queuing - 3 (kivvik, nesta, StarvingButStrong)
Menocchio - 1 (Autolycus)
Gadarene - 1 (chrisk/JSexton)
hocow - 1 (Malacandra)
brewha - 1 (MonkeyMensch)
Rysto - 1 (sturmhauke)
I still don’t know what I did to arouse your suspicion, pimaspinner. I assure you, I’m not scum. I switched to Pygmy Rugger quickly because I wanted to make sure to catch his attention. I really don’t think one vote can be considered a bandwagon…
–FCOD
So we can expect you start posting sometime next week then?
I thought that’s what I asked him to do. 
This post stinks more’s than a fish in heat. Why’s you be’n so damn nice to Pygmy, defendsdin’ ‘is innocence and sayin’ please 'n shit? Sounds likes youz two’z could be in tha club, if ya gets my drift. To quote’s a favorite show I watch and stuff: “not that there’s anything wrong with that”
I’m unclear on what you mean here.
Are you telling us that you are unvoting Gadarene, whom **chrisk **voted for several hundred posts ago?
Or are you asking us to unvote you until you have a chance to catch up with your reading?
Regarding Pygmy Rugger, some of you folks must do even more thorough documentation of the thread than I do, because that slip-up slid right past me. I find it Very Interesting, but I’m not changing my vote for **Pleonast **just yet. (Partially because he has yet to re-enter the thread to defend himself, and I’m fairly certain that he didn’t announce that he would be gone for a few days.)
One thing I did notice is that **Autolycus **suddenly seems to be all over the place, and actually has something to say, if I’m translating his posts properly. They do add a bit of color to the proceedings.
