Woke up along with 13 others, all displaying erratic behavior, looking for 3.5 scum in our midst. (13+1=14 14/4=3.5) It was already apparent that the hardest part was going to be looking past the group's odd behaviors to find their alignment.

7 people were already voting for each other by the time I got to the common room, and I originally couldn't tell if anyone's votes were something besides jokes. It looked like the only one that might be for real is Somberbrero, probably doing what I have seen him do in 5-8 games before. Tremendous Taste had 2 votes, 2/7=0.2857~=0.29*100=29% of the vote total.

We knew from our win condition that the 3.5 scum are staff, hiding among us. Does that mean they aren't crazy like the rest of us, and they have to pretend to be crazy? But Rule #1 seems to say that every person (14 people) has a post restriction, so I guess this line of speculation is useless.

At some point, I even picked up a vote. I remember thinking, "why? what makes me stand out from the rest?" I'm still not sure why jon joe picked me, 1 out of 14, take the 1 out of 14 and you have 4, or you have 14-1=13 (prime, can't get 0 in modular arithmetic unless your modulus is 13 itself), 1+3=4, take the 1 out either way you get the same result, isn't that funny? Obviously works with any number between 10 and 20 but not inclusive, 10-1=9, 10-10=0, 9!=0, not inclusive, only {x; 10<x<20}. So that's settled.

Sometime around then, Somber claimed staff. Staff! We were told the 3.5 staff were out to get us, but then if I were 1 of 3.5 then I wouldn't reveal it. Unless that's what he wanted me to think? But I like his

No, I think it was clear even at the time that voting based on such a claim was the easy way out, not to mention clearly ignorant of the numerical facts, so I didn't see any other option than to ##vote Kleedrac in turn.

While I try to remain relatively removed from such matters, I find it difficult to parse their manners of speaking. I can't say I wish to remove them from the equation for said reasons, but I worry we might have to.

As far as somber's claimed position, I think it's not a slip. He's a bright man, Mr. Brero, and I've got faith in him.

My issue with your post is that you didn't claim that your flavor was staff - you claimed that you were staff. You must be lynched! Though perhaps after supper - we've still got time and I'm excited for supper already - I'm thinking of BBQ'ing some sausages :)

We've got 9 hours to deadline (and six hours to our Canada Day BBQ with ribs, hot dogs, and most importantly HAMBURGERS!) I'm hoping you guys have had enough to eat and will see that Somberbrero was the only scum to make a slip up and we should lynch him immediately.

Is this supposed to be a case?! In what universe is it considered scummy to try to hang the dude with at best the worst miller claim in history and at best an actual scumclaim. You need to go have a snickers cause you're not you when you're hungry! Is anyone else looking at this series of posts and thinking "scumteam trying to save one of their own?"

It should be noted that I really dig your PR and how you've done it - you deserve a cake in your honor. But in the fun day one the best we have is you followed by one of the lurkers - and in this game I could see the lurkers being people with difficult PR's as opposed to lurking scum this game.

Missed a day, but everyone knows that family visitation day is more important than even these events. There wasn't much to say, anyway, only 33 posts since my last writing. I kept trying to convince everyone that Kleedrac was 1 of 3.5 and we had to vote for them, and at least merk eventually listened. Though apparently he thought Somber was a miller, and that wasn't so at all, haha.

Honestly, I didn't like EXAKT's vote on that bandwagon either. It seemed time to resurrect momentum toward him with a deadline impending, and added a really bad reasoning for it. I told the group I'd be happy voting him as well as Kleedrac.
