I made the mistake of not submitting an early deadline, so we have to wait until 2 hours before for lurker rules to trigger on anyone they would.

Basically, the second it is 2 hours before deadline, feel free to cuddle. And/or, if the couple remaining slackers get their last couple posts in.

70 minutes left.

I'm not one of those slackers, am I? I know I haven't posted a ton today but haven't gone back to count my own posts :(

Who arbitrarily narrowed it down? My narrowing certainly wasn’t arbitrary

Bif wanted YPM dead, think excluding the other folks that haven't been in battle (MMT, Sal, Slaan, although slaan is probably not it) is a mistake. But I'm also an idiot who is dead in an hour, sooooooooooooooooooo :shrug:

I still think CL's the right vote today, and am still not sure why Sal is somehow getting cleared by yesterday's voting patterns.

I've said this before, but this is bad logic for a few reasons. Just because she told someone to target someone, doesn't clear them. She could be keeping track of how much damage each person does and assigning less than lethal. She could know that someone had an OPG to avoid all damage that fight. She could have told her remaining adviser to actually attack someone different then she said in thread, etc.

If Bif really wanted YPM dead, he'd be dead. She would have put her own damage on him. Instead we can ascertain from the way the combat went, that the person she wanted dead the most, was Tobbs.

In terms of excluding others. Some of them will get the chance to prove themselves in today's combat.

Oh now you're going to let people prove themselves in combat. Coulda used that yesterday :argh:

I also said in that post that I'm an idiot :P But I still don't think it's YPM. Everyone can quote this post and laugh at me after the game if it turns out to be YPM.

Yeah, your claimed abilities mean I don't want you in combat regardless. :) Also, reminder, you yourself thought so as well and answered in a way that I wouldn't necessarily want to put you in.

Oh, I know. It's just funny to me how it worked out: the only battle I would really want to be in is the day before I get lynched, and the buff from being a Vaquero might have could have tipped it to a win for us. Doubtful, but maybe.

Is it just Kash who is adamant that it can’t possibly be Sal or are there others? Kash seemed to present it as the thread consensus

I was buying the newbie thing until he posted that I was throwing shade at him. It was just a break from his usual posting habits, and it reaked of either paranoia or a setup. I think CL is the right move, but I’m just concerned we will go through the motions of lynching people. We will (most likely) hit the last scum, but there is a grave incentive to do so as soon as possible.

I don't know that anyone else had explicitly discounted sal but the way the thread discussion has gone today made me think in was a consensus decision.

If it's not, I would be more than happy to go back to beating that drum because it's the one I believe in a lot more.

I'm not super against YPM or CL. I guess Sal would be a good lynch for tomorrow if CL flips town.

He's not posting much and is really, really wanting to get into battle. It might be because he actually has really good abilities, but just as likely it's to take the heat off of him. We wouldn't really lose anything if he goes, worst case

Final Post Counts for Day 6:

:cheers: Flying Leatherman has made less than 10 posts today and is ON NOTICE! :cheers:

The Mexican camp was already feeling festive, despite Villa's best efforts to keep them focused. They'd already eliminated so many traitors, and fought the Texans to a standstill at the Alamo - sure, the war wasn't won yet, but they were surely close! All they had to do was execute this one last traitor, and it would all be over - victory was within their grasp! Viva Villa!

quote:

Other folks in Pancho Villa's gang said Shine changed their world like a bolt out of the blue. In your case, Shine's effects weren't that much of a shock to you. You'd already been charged up about its potential to begin with. And now that you've got it, the possibilities are simply electrifying!
:rip: chaoslord, aka Maricela, TOWN-aligned Shiner, was executed on Day 6! :rip:

:cheers: Day ability results are being distributed shortly in your sheets. You will only receive results if you used an ability or if something happened to you. :cheers:

BATTLEFIELD: Guerrero

quote:

Pushing back into Mexican territory, the fighting takes to the streets. The tighter quarters favor those used to urban brawls, while those who long for the open sky are at a loss.
Universal Effect: All Bruisers have +1 to their offensive abilities, while all Ranchers have -1 to their offensive abilities.
