Timebomb Game Thread

As much as this is going to annoy diva, I'm changing my position again. What do people think of having the seer view someone that is already armed that we're mostly sure is scum? If that person really is scum we'll find out all sorts of info because i'll be money that scum wouldn't have bussed their own in a nonreveal game. Thoughts?

If they're town it's a waste of a seer view.

[Mantisdreamz]

why do you think that scum have anything to worry about overnight mz? so far I've seen absolutely nothing pointing to anything but scum putting points on at night.

I am making some assumptions.
1. that Ob was hit by a town vig on night 1 [+4]
2. maybe the town vig was blocked last night.

Or some other explanation. It would seem plausible that the big guns on both sides would be the same. ie {+4}.

nooo.... why would a vig hit her?

[Magicziggy]

Bolero won't answer a simple question about what her W stands for when we can apparently work it out.
I'm actually unsure whether Bolero is armed.
Bolero, are you armed?

UT has been pinging over and over today.

[oblivion]

irre, definitely, i'm going to assume that ob probably already has been, but if not she also should be at the top. obviously none of the ones that are armed need to be unless we see further movement in their letters. Honestly ob what are the chances there isn't a seer? I mean really, with this setup how hosed would town be without at least a few clues to go on at some point in the game?

I'm armed. If I haven't been viewed it's a waste to view me.

I hope there's a seer UT, but for a 14 player game town apparently has/had a buttload of specials. A mass out would have had scum playing whack-a-mole for days.

I agree it does feel like a strong town team, but without info it's a directionless town team. Somewhere we have got to get at least one solid lead otherwise we might as well get out a coin and start flipping for who is scum because town will tear itself apart.

Also Zigmen, what are you going to do about aza? Something has to be done soon, having that big a question mark on day four will be completely unfair.

Where does the "buttload of specials" for town idea come from? AFAICT there's a doc and a vig (who's possibly been recruited) ... I've gotten an inkling of another one but won't point to where I got that from ... This hardly constitutes a "buttload".

heh. probably best not to compare notes.

UT has been pinging over and over today.

Perversely, while he's been pinging, his responses to my questions have seemed reasonable ... This is a screwy game ... and UT can be a screwy player as scum ... I'm not trusting him.

[Mantisdreamz]

I'm getting suspicious of fuzzy, with the insatiable curiosity and the lockstep voting behind oblivion.

this looks a little weak.

That's what I thought..

[oblivion]

UT is a good recommendation to view.

gib? given the lack of face time, probably.

I think she's town ... I have thought so since I looked back at her posts yesterday wrt the point tally edit of the OP .. and today's posts, including her certainty wrt her vote on Feck.

[oblivion]

yeah. agree wrt bolero, for now.

I think some of the ratskep game style markers are the game equivalent of chum in the water for me.

[Mantisdreamz]

praying, comes off as defensively passive aggressive which doesn't do her any favours, but I think that's her style and not unlike her town game last time. Does anyone know what her scum game is like?

I played a scum game with her on TR - she has posted much more in this game. And I'm thinking she is town.

She has? Doesn't seem like a lot to me ... but I can see how you'd think so with your low contribution ... It's all relative, I guess.

I behave like a shark -- feeding frenzy!!!!

[Mantisdreamz]

sorry char, i'm not really vehement, ust feeling a bit tired and that's an idea that really could botch the game for town. I don't think i've ever heard anyone say we should leave it in the hands of the vig before. and especially when we're not even sure there is a vig.

as for the ratio, i'm guessing three, scum blocker, and two point adders, but to be honest i'm not really grasping why the points added dropped last night, unless feck is right and arming scum weakens them and bolero was in fact scum.

I don't think that that is a very good theory... that arming scum makes them weaker. It just seems way too complicated.
