@meme, let's ##vote krellin then.

Oh look. I pressure for a change to Warden and the thread activity plummets. How convenient.

To Warden or to me?

Yes it's a bit odd.

Okay, I don't like the Xorxes lynch very much now. Him switching off Y2k when Y2k is looking like a safe(ish) lynch doesn't make a massive amount of sense if he's scum, unless he's scum with MoscowFleet and is trying to save them by moving the Moscow voters.

I'm not sure I want to move to Krellin right now though. Let me think over it.

Chaqa gives "reads" with such scant reasoning. Apparently amidst the "hype and exaggeration" he can discern town reads very well, but apparently we don't need to hear why.

Okay, no, I really don't like this HR play. My reasoning from earlier still stands (his unusually reactionary and aggressive response to brainbomb) and he is still tunneling on one person who is extremely unlikely to get lynched, and is completely ignoring my defence of Warden posted earlier.

I am going to ##vote Hellenic Riot

I remember krellin's call on Warden being that he seemed too willing to lynch lurkers without any other information.

Was there something from past games that would make that look more suspicious/out of character than it seemed to me (a FNG)?

I've been aggressive in the past when presented with somebody obstinately refusing to accept a factual point, Capt. Nor am I tunnelling solely on one person when I have literally made a commitment to change to xorxes if the Warden lynch doesn't go through.

I ignored your defence because I just don't believe it.

@HR: by "past" votes, I mean confirmed votes that cannot be changed--so there's really not much that my system can figure out on day one. I suppose I could rephrase it to "yesterday's votes." Until then, the system just guesses based on what could be a pragmatic vote for town. Deal with it.

@xorx - I'm guessing you're still catching up, but do you have a reason for littleposting? Why are you voting for y2k? I don't want to vote for you if you're laying low for town reasons, but

@all, re: Chaqa - I guess making wild accusations and changing votes frequently IS how to get off of a wagon.

Well anyway like I said I don't care who we lynch all that much. Day 1 sucks.

Checking in briefly on my smartphone.

Captain Meme: I totally responded to your question about moving my vote from Yoyoyozo to you. I responded in some detail, in my longish post which also talked about my stance on Unvoting. Read more carefully. I did answer.

...but I never finished that sentence. Xorx: please respond with a better indication of why you're laying low.

Riot - explain why you don't believe it.

Jamiet - Do you know when (about) that was? I must have missed it.

@All: I have started to re-read the pages I missed but not sure I am going to be able to catch up in twenty minutes. Are there any cases or relevant posts that I can review?

@bb: Thanks for the kind words, I don't think I'm very good at long game mafia tbh. I voted ND because the entire crusade onto y2k seemed forced, and of the 3 people I read on that push he was the lurker among them. Plus he had I 'hi' exchange in the same vein yoyo was called out for some pages later.

That being said, I am currently voting for y2k, and stand by it. His reaction to the heat he generated seems off, and has been very defensive and moving around, I think hoping to hop on a new train to overtake his. I think it's been either very poor play or an attempt to keep us from hunting other scum.

@Maniac: Someone actually knows Lone Star State of Mind! Yea I messed the quote up, I had watched it the night before and was just trying to remember it offhand.

Eh, I'm going back to ##vote MoscowFleet for now. I want that response though Riot.

@teacon, I'm not laying low. I'm pretty sure I have posted more than you have. You seem to be wanting me to claim PR, which is a very scummy thing to do.

I don't believe it because, as I stated already, I find Warden's inability to focus on anyone at all except you both painful to extract anything from, and outright lazy. That he wanted to lynch you I can accept; but he utterly refused to give me any reads for TWELVE HOURS between my first request and him giving two extremely shitty reads on krellin & bb that anyone could've made up with their eyes shut. In those twelve hours he made multiple posts furthering his tunnel on you, too. I find it very ironic that you accuse me of tunnelling when the person who has been most at fault of that is in fact Warden... who you're protecting.

I don't find any of the people voting for y2k or captain to be towny, but the people on Moscow and xorxes generally do seem towny.

@ ND: the comment that started the swell towards MoscowFleet is on page 21. I'll assume you're familiar at least a little bit with the other cases.

@teacon7

If you're only going by EoG votes then you're going to get fuck all. People are forced to jump and consolidate at the end of every day onto people who are most definitely not their primary targets. It's really poor if you don't consider their other, preferred,votes in your reads.

Captain Meme.... My post in question is on Page 22. It's a fairly long post but pretty hard to miss.

Captain, you're threats are poor if you don't stick to them, you totally let HR off there, That speaks volumes.
