Hi game!

I was ambushed with a bachelor party this weekend so my ability to keep up will be pretty bad. I want to get some thoughts down before I pass out in a bit.

I'd be okay voting Met. I kinda believe him, but this might be a mafia lesson for me.

Still suspicious about Hurt. It's not just that been discussing flavour as a fan, he's used it in his case arguments.

Merks claim makes me feel like I need a re-read with fresh eyes.

I'm getting serious tunnel vision on merk and Byers and it's messing up my read through. I can't stop thinking at least one is scum. But it could be that they're just active players and I've noticed them more.

Your strategy of being a dick is the self-serving part that was just the latest in posts that irked me, why did you jokeclaim SK or explain your "strategy"? These weren't your best options either. I don't understand any of what you're doing in the slightest.

That's not what I said, my point was that if you joke about your alignment you can make people suspicious of your alignment and so it's not your best option. If you've not been choosing your best options previously there's no reason why I have to account for you not choosing your best option now. The best I can figure it is that you're probably trying to ride a too scummy to be scum argument into the end-game and that makes me feel more strongly that you're 3p.

Of course, because one IS scum. Merk. :)

Pinterest Mom posted:

I don't know how he plays normally, but in the last game I was in with TT he thunderdomed a town and then did nothing for the rest of the game out of guilt. He was town. In terms of this game, he is doing a bit more, so yay? But he is also playing a game of Awful Survivor right now, and it's been pretty drama filled. I just did a reread on TT and he seems town. One thing I'd like to see though:

Tremendous Taste posted:

I might even make a case :sun:
Let's see that case TT.

Also, while going back through his posts I saw this:

Tremendous Taste posted:

Er, you doubling down on PM, the claimed doc

TT was asking Merk to explain himself on the mushroom thing. Merk didn't understand the question, so Taste clarified with the above. Merk still hasn't answered him.

You've jumped around with your votes, Merk. You made a Dr Hurt case, and then abandoned it with flimsy reasoning. I like my vote where it is. I'm heading out, and likely won't be around the rest of today. I'll try to check in on my phone when I can.

I'm not freaking out. I can see the writing on the wall. This is really the only way I ever get lynched as Town. People stop talking and votes trickle in with awful (or no) reasoning over the course of the whole game day.

Okay, I'm not getting any wiser the more I reread this stuff.

I'd rather not kill merk today, his interaction with Opop feels real enough early on. But I'm unsure of him, I can't get a read either way. I'm gonna keep voting Dr Hurt for now. Most of my reasoning is that I dislike killing one of the two most active players keeping the thread going. I still like my case from earlier, and he didn't really respond to the point about using flavour to explain his votes.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3654437&userid=189898#post433172028

Another point, admittedly weak, is that he and Opop didn't talk at all really. If both of them like talking about comics that much they should have at least interacted a bit about it in the thread, but I can't see it happening once the game started.

I have already responded to Farbror about his case. And your case on me is basically the two of us disagreeing on how people come across and that I haven't provided content to the game. Mush made a softclaim, you thought it was scummy and I thought it wasn't. You jumped on it and I didn't like how you reacted. Now the doctor is dead and you're trying to spin a case out of it because I believed in her claim. Its a pretty weak case and the fact that most people have ignored it shows that nobody but Farbror agrees with you.

My case on Pin Mom was primarily I felt like he (and also you) reacted hyperbolically to an uncountered doc. Also I didn't like how he wouldn't stop fishing for the town allignment.

It's not fake, just very weak. You cut away a big part of the post. I did say my main reason is that you're one of the people driving the game along, rather than any good read. Maybe I should have said Opop's interaction with you though. His reaction to your whole Beast thing and the exchange around that jokepost seemed like Opop was posting safe things to townies.

I'd still vote Met (and Comma, I think it's better if I hammer than if you do, because I'm likely to be lynched at some point anyway).

Merk's behavior around Pmush' doc claim was scummy, I'd vote merk.

I literally still can't believe bowmore isn't getting killed today.

TT I feel is playing weirdly, and that might mean he's scum, but I don't want to vote for him over Met/Merk/bowmore today.

I laid off PMush as soon as she claimed doc. Merk very brazenly declared that he was still voting for her despite the doc claim. That's very different.
