I'm going to go with squid rather than feck. I'm at risk of trolley tracking on feck after picking him yesterday to put pressure on. Squid seems far more squiffy.
Unvote vote squid

I'm off to bed now, wont be back before end of day. I would hope everyone else will show their cards by voting, and giving reasons for choices.

Just got back from a long day (kids, parties, renovating) and now I've had too much wine to even follow this properly. Tomorrow is another big day for me but I'll try to find another hour at lunch for a proper read. I have no thoughts and will reserve my vote for a later day, should I make it that far. If you want an easy vote on town - pick me, then I don't have eto follow asw well.

The only thing I noticed is that I commented on Azathoth's post last night being iffy and then he was Nked, so that means nothing. I reckon Aza may have been the vig kill and Mono the NK. Maybe someone followed my obviously incorrect logic...

Why have we limited all discussion to squid vs feck?

a) it could be both
b) I would guess at least two other scum out there.

OK I'll be going to bed soon (just watching my TR game...goons might lynch me )

I think the issue is that there are still too many people who have not provided enough input.

[Feck]

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt over the questions.
But she made a connection between me fooling her as scum and me being a good scumhunter. Does that follow?

Where is that post, please? I'd think saying you're a good scumhunter would be an odd thing for nell to say about you in light of your role as scum in the previous game, which was the first game nell played and the only experience she's had of your game to date.

Her mentor told her ?

[The Curious Squid]

Hold on a second! Why the hell is everyone jumping down my throat here?

It seems to me that Higgs put out a bad vibe against me and Irre claimed I jumped on a bandwagon (that contained 1 person ) after the post that Gib quoted where feck states that he knew Jynx would flip town even although he voted for him first!

I voted Feck because he seems to be flailing under the questions directed at him in the first 2 pages, now he's just went quiet while everyone scrutinises me while I wasn't here to defend myself.

My vote stands, the only bandwagon that I can see is the one that contains Higgs, Mantis, Charlou, Irre, MZ and Oblivion!

Based on what exactly?

If you're looking for scum then the list above might be a good place to start. Higgs is maybe less likely to be scum than the others but the flood of agreement was a bit much if you ask me.

[Magicziggy]

By my count, you have 2 of a possible 11.5 votes. That isn't exactly a landslide just yet.

Your list is interesting. It doesn't contain Feck, who you have voted for. It does however contain 6 of the 9 other players, so it's not exactly narrowing it down.

Let's look at who you haven't included and work from there.

Nelli , DP, gib

Why have they been cleare by you?

[Magicziggy]

vote nellikin

a fairly unconvincing post.

[gib]

Why do we think we have a vig and not a serial killer? If there's a chance it's a SK then Nelli would be a good fit.

My quizzing of Feck over his post that i found ambiguous has seems to have spiralled out of control in Squid's mind. Personally i found Feck's answer/explanataion satisfactory.

the thing I didn't like about his explanations was the implication that a scum player wouldn't start a bandwagon on a lynchable town player. The fact that he focused on jynx rather than MZ on day 1 looked a little opportunistic. I dunno.

[oblivion]

gib, what do you think o higgs2?

[gib]

Lemme have a reread of her posts.

Right now i've ground to a halt on the Feck or Squid thing.

[gib]

potted Higgs:

day 1

didn't feel well,

followed me on questioning what MZ meant http://www.rationalia.com/forum/viewtop ... 19#p737519

asked dumb question abouit game design

day 2

this one's interesting:

So charlou wasn't around much, nor dp is that correct? Oblivion fos'd irre but I'm not sure why. Maybe because she was so frenetic at the very biginning of the game? There's the if Jynx is town then MZ is scum meme, but I'm not sure I buy that, they seem to just like to post to each other. Presumably mantis has viewed town unless we hear otherwise, if there is a seer and if they viewed mantis and if she's not a don. and that's all I got for now.

then the weird confusion over sarcasm which looked genuine to me

then

Theres so little to go on; I'm voting squid for jumping on the feck bw.

So it looks to me very much like nothing substantial until day 2, kinda fits in with not being well i suppose. What do you make of the post i just designated as 'interesting'?

[oblivion]

I'm not sure what I think about the post. stating the obvious here and there, and commenting on the two big noises in day 1 without committing anything. that's what is bothering me, I think. she's making observations, but not digging.
