Oblivion, have you been scum at all here since my first game (Spooks)?
I only ask because I've missed several and I might have missed it.

I have not been scum at ratz since spooks. I haven't been scum at TR since late summer or early fall. I'm DP in the mirror-mirror universe or something.

So yeah, every little variation in every game gets picked up as evidence of my scum game. this isn't the first time for you, though you tend to gloss over the wifom and let someone else point it out when you're scum IRRC.

No that's not right. The longer this town run has continued, the easier I've found it to ignore the wifom. I think I only played as scum against in boy bands iirc. A rather different dynamic in that game.

Oh, and Gib.. are you going to post more than comments about MZ and Jynx?

I have a few thoughts about oblivion's game but nothing too exciting.

Still, I'd like to hear them.

I'd like to hear them too. I think her game is different. I can't pinpoint it.
Another perspective would help.

Yes, I think it is, too. I've got to be careful not to trolley track, though. The more people commenting, the more info we have.

DP....

I like the way you keep wifoming me at every turn. you never quite produce any substance to go with the wine.

I've seen this before once or twice.

I was thinking about the boy band game when I wrote that. I don't remember another scum game of yours besides the last one, which I didn't play.

^^ and you may have begun to discount the wifom when you are town, but you almost always discuss it.

[Magicziggy]

You are ignoring the point about me learning to ignore it. It's old.
I even pointed out as much in the last game. Day 1 isn;t the place for it.
The wifom around you is your survival. Not that you are due a scum role.

[oblivion]

OK Jynx has gone off in a huff. I don't think he's doing anything more than his usual tenacious grabbing onto some. Based on all his posts to now, I'm not willing to be the deciding vote to lynch him.

Ping.

I also don't see why mantis should be lynched today.

I'd put any of mono, gib and azathoth above either of those two.

what's your rationale for gib and azathoth?

For mono's fly by: unvote jynx vote mono

this feels like a cheap and easy day 1 bandwagon.

[quoteEdit cross post... no, I don't see mantis as being touchy at all. More kind of mystified as to why she pings for being the recipient of a mayoral vote. Plus, if someone had mayor voted me I would have responded (ie not responded) the same way.

After a reread in greater context than 3"x5" at a time, I've kinda concluded the same, though I'll kick myself if she turns up scum and I backed off on the first-up mayor flinch.

vote Mantis
Pretty sure she's not a don given her reaction. So an early read should be pretty reliable.

and you are ignoring our donnybrook in the V game and possibly others. IIRC part of it was due to your certainty that you'd detected something different about my game, and different coulda shoulda been scummy.

I may not have time to review that game before nightfall, but I will review it.

vote jynx

now i feel a little more confident of MZ, and while all of this is very jynx like it's a distraction. PLus, if jynx flips scum MZ would be clear in my book. barring a day one bus, which seems unlikely.

Geez. Ping. I'm happy with where my vote is.



Oblivion, you seem to be going out of your way to be at me today

[oblivion]

I think I'm caught up. was hoping I'd get a few answers to some of the posts I asked about.

[Mantisdreamz]

first question...

Irre said in the first post of the thread that she wanted to pressure feck.

so how much pressure has she brought to bear? anything like the pressure she and I have put on each other so far? My recollection is "No". what do you think?

No, but I don't think you can really compare the pressure. You both tend to be more active. Feck tends to not post much. He has posted more than normal for day one. Whether that means something, not sure yet. He looks like normal Feck amplified! Which doesn't necessarily say a whole lot. I sometimes get the feeling that Feck is scum - and sometimes it comes out to be right. Not feeling that just yet.

You shot them off pretty quickly. I'm looking at them right now. But, I've still got that lagging thing with this forum.

You've been obliquely going after me ever since I started posting today. I find that interesting, if you'll pardon the expression. I think you're trying to keep me off balance for some reason. I understand trying to get a read, but you haven't closed and grappled on anything you've brought up. You move on to more innuendo like this line thrown away at the end of a post about someone else.

There is a pattern in this. I pointed it out on day 4 of kingmakers when you were lynched and turned up scum.

[Zigmen]

Anyone with a vote count?

I'd appreciate it! Also, a mayor count perhaps?

Thanks~

Didn't expect 9 pages~

I think I've been keeping up with your prolific posting. If there's a question you think I still need to answer, let me know.

I'm not getting a scum vibe off you. I've not voted you nor FoS'd you.
