In fact, everyone here who is pro-town would want a day extension. I encourage all of you to request it. Sorry NAF and mgtman. I think if just about everyone here demands a day extension they may give us one.
That’s a little strong. I’m sure it’s possible to have reasons to not want an extension and still be pro-town.
You know what? I don’t agree. I think an extension would be of benefit to the town, and I am town, but I oppose an extension. If we spent seven days chatting about the dossiers and not about who to lynch, then that’s: (1) bad collective play on our part; and (2) good play on the part of the scum. It would be incredibly unfair to grant an extension in such a case. I wouldn’t want that sort of advantage, any more than I’d want to be granted a fourth strike if I swing and miss at a third.
And if y’all want to lynch me for this opinion, that’s certainly your prerogative, but I would rather win fair than get mod-granted advantages and win in that way.
Right now the day ends in 31hrs and 15 mins. I think if we start discussing the dossiers we may be able to come to a concesus. I’m not at all opposed to extending the day - I’m just afraid if we wait for NAF’s answer, we’d be wasting time if he refuses to extend the day.
NAF, can we get an extension?
I don’t see the need to wait for Hal’s reveal. He’s already set himself apart from the crowd by claiming a power role. And, if he is scum, he could easily make up a dossier based on the (by my count) 64 characteristics that have already been posted.
If we don’t hear from NAF or MtgMan by 10:00 (1 hr 40min) I’m going ahead with the discussion.
story just earned a spot on my trusted town list. He’s completely wrong of course, but scum would not so openly take that position
I’m with Storyteller on this one. I assume the purpose of allowing extensions was to account for non game related events (holidays etc.) and they would be given if it was fair to both sides of the game. Would you think it was right for the town to get an extension if there was a role claim within the last couple hours of a day? By outright claiming that the extention is to help the town, I’d say it goes against the spirit of the extension offer. It certainly not anyones fault besides us townfolk that we were so disorganized in revealing our dossiers.
Storyteller is right in that it is unfair to scum, and I have been the biggest scum apologist to date. Scum never really had a chance in just about every game we’ve played. There’s a reason I like this game… scum have a chance. We cannot mislynch 18 times and have 3 backup doctors protect 8 cops
Asking for an extension because we have collectively noodled around and not gotten down to business isn’t fair to anyone playing. I’m not in favor of an extension of the day. We still have some time to discuss the lynch.
We’ll probably fuck up the lynch and kill a noisy townie yet again. I propose we lynch one of the quiet ones
I never really thought of the fairness to the scum. We knew what the length of the day was and we wasted a bunch of time. Let’s sally forth!
Here’sthe big pattern I’ve been talking about.
It turns out, the more that I research it, the more it is worthless to determining scum. It seems out moderators took most of our traits from that thread - but not all. My original suspicion of Zuma was that some of his traits didn’t show up in that thread - such as ‘aliens steal my socks’. But with more and more reveals, I found several more that didn’t show up in the thread. I kept thinking that it was scum showing themselves, until someone posted a characteristic that wasn’t in that thread along with one of my own characteristics before I had revealed it.
So, while the characterisics may help in determining whose lying, unless we can find where the rest came from, the dossiers appear to be worthless. I’m guessing that the traits not from that thread may have just come from NAF’s head. Which means there’s no way to track them.
Our best bet on determining scum at this point would be to see who tried to delay the reveals. Who wasted our time?
Unless MHaye can explain why he took so long on his reveal:
Vote MHaye
I propose a homework assignment. Take this list:
1.storyteller0910
2.HazelNutCoffee
3.Freudian Slit
4.brewha
5.MHaye
6.ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies
7.sachertorte
8.Hawkeyeop
9.ShadowFacts
[del]10.Santo Rugger[/del]
11. Pleonast
12. One And Only Wanderers
13. Rysto
14. Hal Briston
15. faithfool
16. zuma
17. Hockey Monkey
18. Kat
19. Diomedes
and do some research on the person under your name.Dio you skip back to the top and research Story. Rysto you can skip Hal for now and do Faithfool. Find their characteristics and try to match them to characteristics in the 2 truths and 1 lie thread. CTRL F works really well for this. Come back here and post the ones not on that thread. Maybe we can find a theme.
I’m good with brewha. I also think he’s town. Oooh there I said it. We need to get away from always lynching the noisy townie on day 1. Mhaye and his delay tactics are a good lynch for me at this time.

So there.
I like yourt idea. Hockeymonkey will be investigated this holiday season.
Here’s what I found out on MHaye
His public trait - ** I have handled and fed a lot of snakes, alligators and crocodiles**- is on the 2Ta1L thread.
None of these are, but they are all shared with at least one other person
As for my dossier; my love of Zombie humour is well known.
I believe the Honda Element is a good-looking car.
I enjoy practising the cello.
I played piano with Sly Stone in a Holiday Inn restaurant.
This one is neither in the thread or shard with anyone.
I have met Chuck Norris
Rysto’s dossier facts I couldn’t find in the thread
I wear a size 7 shoe.
I was in a biker movie.
I believe the cruelty makes foie gras all the more tasty.
Farts are really funny. People only pretend to not think they are.
I believe that the world would be a much better place if about 25% of the population were taken out back and shot.
Already done…I’ll try to post a link soon to my spreadsheet. The only one I don’t have in there is Hal and I wanted to get all of the dossiers before drawing any parallels.
Another fun fact, all of MHayes traits (except for the Chuck Norris one) were posted before he posted his. There’s no reason he couldn’t have taken all of them from other players. I’m pretty confident that he lied about his dossier. If you can’t be trusted, I see no place for you at this retreat. I’m happy with my vote.
OAOW, don’t take it personally when I say you haven’t done your homework.
Rysto’s traits about the shoe size and the biker movie are in fact in the Two Truths and a Lie thread. His other traits are in another thread.
I was afraid someone else was doing a Spreadsheet. If I can find a place to host mine, I’ll post it as well.
Some driveby comments on this.
That’s not my public trait, and I never said it was. Read [post=9285974]my post[/post] again.
Since I’m very uncertain that the “Two truths and a lie” thread has anything to do with the distribution of the traits, I’ll do DarkCookies later. I have a few other things I want to deal with first, some of which are even related to this game.
