it would be irre because if she views as scum that clears a lot of players and if she views as town those same players are the ones that need to recalbrate.

[gib]

ok finally we're on real time, i have at least an hour, what else is one the agenda?

btw the beachcombing started off frustrating but i kinda think it's a useful way to play in many ways. Interesting to lay down my thoughts and then as i caught up see how others had timedelayninja'd me.

Glad to see you contributing, Gib.

Feck 2
Irre 4 w/mayor
Gonzo 1
MZ 2
Gib 1

Nightfall in just over an hour.

after this, the following votes came in:

Feck voted Irre
Diva voted gonzo
Praying voted Feck
Diva unvoted/voted Fuzzy
UT voted gonzo

As MZ has noted, this puts every unarmed player in the game within reach of either scum or the vig arming them tonight.

Except praying. I seriously considered backing off irre and putting a vote on praying today simply to put her in the same pile. But, I wasn't willing to take 2 votes off irre.

tonight's going to be interesting.

Praying if you're town go back and read day one again, i left some important clues in there aimed directly at you and so did at least 9 other players. You should really start at the beginning. Hint: use Google Translate to put each player's posts into either Polish of Portuguese depending on whether you think they are scum or town. hth

[oblivion]

also, I have to say that I find irre's reaction to being armed a little odd, though it did happen fast with her. My wtf moment happened at the beginning of day 2 and then I quit worrying about it.

alignment difference? or just different personalities?

[gib]

Glad to see you contributing, Gib.

Bear in mind i'm kinda bipolar when it comes to being right or wrong, you're going to need to help out.

[oblivion]

town vote subtractor (if that's what you are):

I don't need to spell this out for you, I'm sure. Please do everything you can to keep yourself and/or Charlou below the magic number tonight. Hopefully tomorrow we'll start to understand which other armed players besides Charlou need to be disarmed if possible.

fuck. posted this in the closed thread I was reading earlier... sorry.

I was suspect of you because you were not posting as much and I am now glad that you are since it will give everyone a better read.

I am going to go back through your posting history in this thread, in order to better absorb what you are trying to say.

[divagreen]

gib, you asked what posts by Irre seemed sort of white-knighty regarding you. Here is the one that caught my attention today.

This was in reply to a post where I think I first voiced my niggling concerns about the substance/frequency of your participation (which, yes I know were exacerbated by the TR game and by the dns error stuff -- I still wanted more posts from you so I could firm up my read)

I'd like to see gonzo armed today.

and I'd like to see some points on irre and gib at least for a while to see if that focuses their attention.

I kinda feel like the GMs should let us know 1) if they are looking for a sub for Aza, 2) how long they'll let it ride, and 3) what they plan to do if they can't find a sub.

Town needs to know whether it's ok to just let Aza drift or not.

I think gib's posting in the wrong thread is more townish clueless. I'm leaning town on him.

I armed gonzo, see my post.

This made me think about yesterday and I think she said something about your townishness every time you came up.

OK I have read the threads.

this is a really bad time for me (kids in bath) but quickly: most suspicious are gonzo and mantis

most towny are charlou, ob, gib and UT

I will post actual reasons for that, but I have to get offline now

vote gonzo for not playing at all like the FF game

goddam ratz is so damn slow I think there have been ten posts

Hi oblivion.

Shit this thread moves fast. Now the kids are at school and I have some time online. Apologies to everyone, but my first priority (after IRL stuff) will be the FF mafia game, seeing as I've invested 2 years of my life into it

OK, I had the benefit of reading the whole of day 1 after day 1 ended, with fresh eyes of being new to the game. I think charlou is legit, because she outed after clearly thinking long and hard about it (after aza's suggestion of a mass outing) and she got a pile of points overnight. I think oblivion is townish because she's been doing proper scum hunting (putting people under pressure, moving on to others). UT is someone that I have a good read on, because of how often we've played mafia together. Outing as a vanilla town I think helps town, though unless we think a mass outing is a good thing I don't recommend other vanilla towns out because then scum can special hunt more easily. Gib indicated a very townish thing that I note mantis has also picked up on. That gib didn't get a load of points overnight suggests to me that mantis is town.

MZ going after charlou today is so weird, even for MZ standards, so I have him as very suspicious. Bolero is pinging, too, following charlou but now putting her doubts about her. Gonzo, I know you'll never let me live down that vote for you on FF, but your game is quite different. I'll try not to trolley track on you, but so far my vote stays.

Aza needs to participate. His mass out idea is one I'd have had at that time in the game, because I tend not to read PG and rules much. I have done this game, just to get my head around this codeword and points thing.

It looks like a vig and scum 'hit' overnight, to me, but the targets seem wrong...they would both be scum targets, and the vig might be having a shocker. MZ has dropped a couple of threats in the thread, I'd like to hear more from him.

then she overreacted to your joke about your town tell. That looked a little odd, unless it was maybe a counter-joke.

someone tell me in the postgame about this towntell i have, i could find a use for that :evilmoustachetwiddle:

OK that makes me nervous. I have to re-evaluate you and mantis.

And, what is up with that fuzzy thing? I saw it on TR, too.

then there's this:

I'd like more pressure on Gonzo. I can see why people are after mantis. I thought her seeing the same thing I saw about gib meant she was town, but gib has denied dropping a crumb, and in any case scum would have gunned for charlou, so she's not on my town list any more.

Going back and looking at this is interesting. there's an entanglement of you and mantis in her posts, and whatever it was that made her think you and mantis were town, she changed her mind. And yet she still says she thinks you are both town. she pursued Gonzo over mantis yesterday, and she reaffirmed that she thinks you are both town today.

I am leaning town wrt you, gib. I'm undecided about mantis. her posts since day 2 nightfall have looked far more townish to me than her earlier stuff.

The person I am most confused about is probably MZ. I have a feeling that I am confusing people also due to a lot of course changes and some frenzy about people changing directions abruptly at nightfall.

I know that the abrupt change stuff often comes from townish confusion, but it still leaves me very uneasy when things change drastically in the last half hour or so.

ok this is interesting - i have some thoughts but will let irre answer first

eta jesuzfuck pappa your server is lamer than josh timonen's charm, have you tried switching it off and on again?
