Vash:

Can you answer the question I posed to you and Bald?
TrPrado (461 D)

Also please don't end the day. It'd put a damper on my strategy.

And I blame DO and Snowy for this. DO scum read me D1 because I told her to read the thread. And Snowy scum read me all game without ever pushing a proper case, this probably make Balki to try to set me up with that inno read, either to give him town cred if I flip first or to get me lynched when he flipped scum.
I told you. It's a game of chicken. Acting hopeless is more likely to get people to move off than fighting.

And Vash, if you aren't the last scum you have been useless for town.
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
Do you really think I am scum or are you just sheeping Tom? When I flip town who you think is the last scum?
TrPrado (461 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
You're idiots if you think he's actual scum.
TrPrado (461 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
I have a theory about who last scum is but I don't want to play my hand until EoD.

Vash:
That wasn't the question I asked. How do you feel about the idea of an intentional mislynch? Would you volunteer for such a strategy?
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
##unend
Prado, I really don't know what your plan is but at least you are trying, so I will not hammer myself for now.
Intentional Mislynch is dumb, no town should self vote or risk themselves dying. Also sure, rd, you are unending because of Prado and not because if tom showed up you could die.
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
But more one day of no discussion like this isn't needed, it's pointless.
Try to get Balduran and Vash talking on last day.
Self voting is a strategy that only makes sense as scum trying to double bluff their way out of dying because they feel no one will listen if they try to survive conventionally. It's worked wonders on you Prado.
Also did you not read my reads, rd, you were my second choice after Jeff for reasons, especially ghug's read list.
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
Vash, I will die anyway, you and Tom are already voting me and I don't think Bald will vote himself. Prado asked to not end and I think he is trying and deserve this consideration.
I also asked you to say why you think I am scum and who is the scum if I flip town and you didn't answer. Why hammer me without answering?
TrPrado (461 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
Vash:

I'm self-voting right now too...
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
You think I am scum because Ghug read list on D1. Great. Same Ghug that tried to get a wagon on me on D2.
And who is your next choice when I flip town?
Well Tr, you are a dumbass then.
TrPrado (461 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
The connections to rdrivera are forged. They're fake.
Also, rd, ghug started that day voting for y2k and ended that day on Balki so....yeah I'm fine with believing that.
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
The worst thing on this is that Bald is lurking again he will just get another free pass without any need to get involved.
TrPrado (461 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
D2 is incredibly important for reads, but you're missing why.
TrPrado (461 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
Balduran is also going to vote for rdrivera. He's said he believes rdrivera is scum. And I'm fine with the lynch in context of an intentional mislynch strategy. But we definitely should not end, and I don't think him flipping scum should be what you anticipate.
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
He started the day on y2k but when he was at risk he voted on me knowing that Oztra, Snowy and DO will follow him. If HR didn't claim, the wagons on D2 would have been me and Ghug.
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
19 Jun 17 UTC
And I will be honest with you: I am not even so sure it's Bald. He should be the luckiest scum in the world to get away with this kind of play.
I am starting to think it could be Vash and I don't want to be alive on lylo as I am an easy myslynch. Do you think this strategy doesn't make sense Vash?

##OFFICIAL VOTE COUNT 8.01

rdrivera2005 (3): Tom Bombadil, rdrivera2005, VashtaNeurotic
TrPrado (1): TrPrado

END [rdrivera2005] (1/3): VashtaNeurotic

NO VOTE (1): Balduran

Currently, RDRIVERA2005 is set to be lynched. The day will end in ~27.5 hours.
Balduran (119 D)

TrPrado (461 D)

Bald:

Can you answer my questions about an intentional mislynch?

Are you a willing participant to be lynched, my dude?
Balduran (119 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
@TrPrado I don't think I'd vote myself, given that I'm pretty sure hammering oneself isn't actually allowed anymore (checked this early on in the game with the GM in thread, what RD is doing isn't actually threatening to himself and he'd know that if he's been reading). That said, I wouldn't necessarily mind dying today since other people are more likely to put up passionate fights at lylo (should RD flip town)
Balduran (119 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
I don't think the intentional mislynch is a big benefit, though. Given there are still a number of town who look vaguely scummy (depending on who you ask) we might as well lynch whoever looks like scum, whether they're willing to or not
Balduran (119 D)
19 Jun 17 UTC
I can kind of get how it could be used if there was one person who was just obviously a weak link and they knew it, but I don't think that's where we're at here

Is the voter fraud investigation a distraction?
Is it Republican Data mining? Beating a dead horse? Or all of the above. It feels like its designed to help Republicans gain shitloads of unsolicited free information about voters. Why else would they need such data? Why not trust the states - many of which are Red states to uphold fair elections.

Diplomacy Strategy: Sphere Theory

New player - submitting support orders
Hi. Could someone please explain the syntax for submitting a support order? It shows up as: Army at X support move to Y from Z.
So, X is the supporting army. But is Y the Army that is being supported or the territory that they are attacking?
Thanks!

GB 3 Game Tournament
Being in the middle of a pretty long, drawn-out game, I feel the need to flex some tactical muscle. I'd like to propose a 3 game, semi-anon, 24 hour phase, WTA series. Preference is for a high reliability (<80%) and moderate to high GR. 25 to 50 point buy-in. Once we get the 7, games will be created and PW messaged out.

1) Hamilton Brian RR 98%, general GR position of 177

Magic Money Trees
The UK's totally bankrupt Prime Minister, Theresa May, told nurses they couldn't have a pay rise because "there isn't a magic money tree".

But this week there was £1.5 billion of magic money to give to some extreme-right Northern Irish homophobes with strong connections to terrorism.

Unhelpful Allies
Quick question, does anyone get annoyed by allies who send you messages saying really obvious things about what other countries did last turn or where you could easily get a SC. Basically all the information that is super clear that everyone could figure out but they decide to tell you anyways. Am I the only one who feels this way?
