M1034: SOLE SURVIVOR: GAME THREAD

[ghug]

Speaking of the %%, I don't like the ghug vote after seeing ghug actually reference and act accordingly to the readlist posted previously
%%vote jamie

This is where Dip expressed a change of opinion. I think from y'all's perspective that doesn't really change the analysis much, but knowing I'm town it seems more likely to come from town than from opportunistic scum.

[Jamiet99uk]

Dip&War: "I want Ghug to die today, and Foodcoats must be protected!"

The Vote Count: Ghug (3) vs Foodcoats (3)

Dip&War: "Yikes! Better kill Foodcoats!"

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

He did explain it at the time, didn't he? Or was that damo?

He explained why he didn't vote for me, or for Red Neurax. He absolutely didn't explain why he said he wanted to kill you, and then shortly afterward, voted to save you and kill Foodcoats instead, I've re-read all his posts from Page 16 onwards and he didn't explain that at all.

Do you think his answer will have something to do with spaces an editing?

(Too soon?)

Hmmmmmm.

I don't think he was opportunistic scum.

I think he was panicking scum because you were at serious risk.

Also the post above doesn't really make much sense in explaining why, in the space of half a page, in which time nobody new had voted for you, he would go from wanting you dead, to wanting you saved.

I don ' t know , perhaps , Darg.

[dargorygel]

This is a bad way of looking at it. Votes change. It's day 1. I briefly went to having food in my bottom half of candidates before moving him back up, but because at two points in time I settled on the same person, I look better?

Dis you answer this before or after you read Jamie's case?

Before

Ok
Further thoughts and response coming soon?

He literally explained exactly why.. Believe it or not but there is an explanation there.

[dargorygel]

Following the %% was THAT important to him? I hope he will explain that.

It has gone very quiet.

Vote Flipper 1: “This idol is becoming a real problem. We have to be incredibly careful to not tip off anyone that they’re in danger of going over. Its imperative!”

Vote Flipper 2: “Well if we can figure out who has the idol, we should be golden.”

Vote Flipper 1: “Yeah we need to flush the idol out asap.”

Vote Flipper 2: “… say that again.”

Vote Flipper 1: “…we need to flush the idol?”

Vote Flipper 2: “How could I have been so stupid… flush… where have I heard that name before?”

Vote Flipper 1: “That’s right! Wasn’t there a guy with flush in his name or something?”

Nothing was played. Okay, I’ll read the votes

Third person voted out of Survivor: StraightFlush

Please bring me your torch

StraightFlush, the tribe has spoken. Its time for you to go

StraightFlush was Tony Vlachos, an alliance member!

GM Note: Flavor does not have any indication of the reason for the NK

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

You may now post of course

For the bot:

StraightFlush has died! He was an alliance member

Not a fast reader, are you?

well there weren't many posts but i usually read in order

I like to catch up in a longitudinal fashion myself, sure. However I always find it extremely odd when people come to catch up, presumably knowing the deadline must have passed, and yet behaving as if they are unaware, and not bothering to check to see the flip before they start reading and responding.

i find i learn more from learning certainties after getting an initial impression

i prefer to think and then see if the facts fit it, because if they do, then i know i'm onto something, and if it doesn't, then i have to go back, but if i start with the certainty, i'm more likely to read more into that isn't really there

[dargorygel]

RIP straightfluh... thanks for playing! Play again @

I remain convinced.
Not sure which to kill first.

For now:

##VOTE DIPLOMACYANDWARFARE

Jamie... did you see scumstuff in dip? Or was it more an annoyance vote?

It was a number of things:

1. The punctuation nonsense seemed (and still seems) like something some people would do as scum to create filler content that can be argued about and cause a large amount of posts, but which are actually rubbish.

2. He said he wanted to vote for a lurker, then voted for Damo, who at the time was a mid-tier poster. I questioned him about this, and he ignored my question (or, at the very least, did not respond).

3. His scumread of me did not appear to be grounded in any particular reason, other than that I was voting for him.

Now on re-read, I have noticed something else VERY interesting:

4. On Page 16, Dip&War provided a reads list in which he listed the following people as most likely scum, headed "I would like to see this player dead today":

Jamiet99uk
Ghug
Red Neurax.

He also had a list of people headed "I will vote to save this player"
, which was:

Bonatogether
Dargorygel
Damo666
Foodcoats

Shortly after, on Page 17, he saw that Red Neurax had caused a tie between Ghug, and Foodcoats. Seeing this, what did he do?

He voted for Foodcoats and not Ghug, despite having just one page earlier said that he wanted Ghug to die, and would vote to save Foodcoats if needed.

He included Ghug in his scumreads.
BUT THEN WHEN GHUG WAS A LEADING CANDIDATE, HE VOTED TO SAVE HIM.

Looks like a Dip&War / Ghug scumteam to me!

jimathon's neurons are firing

some of us appreciate that

[dargorygel]

What's the math,btw?

[Jamiet99uk]

I came here to post "if I die, kill Ghug" and then I realised the end of phase timer is 15 minutes off the hour (JustWill, you weirdo).

Damn, RIP Straightflush. I hope you'll play again.

Are you forgetting something about the rules of this setup, Darg?

this eod time is awful but curious kill

can't imagine why he would be the target

The math is that you have just cast 100% of the votes you're allowed to cast today.

He seemed quite towny to me I have to say; fairly genuine. I think Mafia would have had a hard time mis-flipping him today. Bit mean to NK the new guy though :-/
