Spooks Game Scum thread

[oblivion]

Also, I'm thinking tonight's kill should be either mantisdreamz or ani. endgame will go better for us if neither of them are alive at that point. Also, it might look like a scum attempt to throw more suspicion on DP if ani shows up dead.

If ani swings his vote I'd agree, but whacking him right after he's the first one to point a finger at you would draw a lot of suspicion. I was worried about mantis, but the last few days he's just been following along with the bandwagon. maybe that's a tell he's a special, unless he always plays that way. It should be one of those two though, everyone else is either no showing or completely stumped.

This is the hard part of the game. Fewer players, less talk, everyone poring over the past days looking for clues, and suspicions at a fever pitch. All of this is intensified by Town's dismal record so far. People will jump on anything. So, it's important to keep our posts clean and townish. I've posted a lot so far today. I'm trying to spin a narrative for town, and especially for Ani, and now I'm going to let it sink in. We'll see how it works.

I'm at home for lunch today, but I don't think I'm going to post in the main thread. It seems to be going where we want and I don't want to screw anything up.

Is it just me or did blip just say witti might be a special and then vote to lynch him?

yeah, sorta. but Blip has also speculated that there aren't any of the regular specials in the game.

Hey guys, JA is looking around for a Redial replacement. How would you feel about NKing her on night 6 if he hasn't found someone by then?

I'm a little concerned about a dead town player coming back in the game. When people get a chance to sit out and watch without the in-game pressure, they sometimes see stuff that the still-living players miss.

I figured a forfiet meant redial was out of the game, so why do we have to kill her? or are you talking about just offing the replacement?

You don't have to kill her. A forfeit is tricky for the gm to deal with. You guys don't need the help atm, but a god kill plus the lynch today plus your kill is a big help to you. If I can get a sub it won't be an issue, but it's something I need to deal with. IF you guys kill her for me if I can't get a replacement, it's a neat solution for me.

You don't have to agree at all, it would just be a favour to me if you don't mind.

It's not really fair to town to lose an extra player in this round. If JA finds a replacement, then I think we just deal with it by deciding whether or not to NK them. What I'm suggesting is that we use our NK on the "empty" player spot and call it "NK Redial" if he can't find a replacement by tomorrow at the end of the game day.

We should start thinking about tonight's kill, too.

I suggest Ani or mantisdreamz still. Ani will create a tremendous amount of wifom over whether he's dead because DP is scum or he's dead because scum want town to think DP's scum. That is dangerous, but I think we'll have to bite that bullet eventually anyway. Having Ani around with a vote at endgame could complicate things. Mantisdreamz eliminates one of the best town players left, though so far she's not putting a great deal of effort into the game.

Leaving Blip in the game one more day has good points and bad. The best thing about it is that people will wonder why she isn't dead (I think). The worst thing about killing her is that people will wonder why I haven't been scum-killed (I think). In the environments where I usually play, no matter what my role is, town starts asking "why is oblivion still alive?" by day 4 at the latest.

let's see what mantis says today, he is definetly someone to watch. Ani has to go before end game, which i'm thinking will be sun/mon. Redial's leaving is a problem, it would be honorable for us to kill the empty slot tonight, but in this part of the game it's a huge disadvantage for us. Let's see if anything developes the rest of the day and tomorrow then we'll decide.

just read Manits's post, he fos'd alot of people you and dp among them. ani on the other hand fingered you and witti who's almost certainly going to die today. Killing mantis right now might sow the most confusion about who would gain by it. Or killing tim, might make the less experienced go after mantis for us especially if he stays quiet again tomorrow. That last one is a bit of a risk though.

Actually, killing timinane might be a good alternative. he voted MZ repeatedly and he's still alive. He votes mantis and boom.

Whatever happens, this is getting complicated. I can probably talk my way out of a lynch once. Not sure about twice.

We seem to have entered the apathy zone. I'm wondering if this game will actually finish, maybe things will pick up over the weekend. Any of the three we talked about is fine as a night kill by me. Let's have DP do the hit again since he's going to be drawing attention to himself by being absent this weekend anyway.

Strangely enough I have no problem being our designated hitter.

Let's take out Timinane tonight, just to really mix things up.
