URGENT REPLACEMENT NEEDED
Would anyone be willing to take over the Germany in this game: gameID=169332

If so, the mods will let you take it over before the end of the retreats phase. Would be much appreciated.

Non-specific game advice
I am in a game between 4 powers. One of the powers (in the middle of the board) has NMRed several times (he did write in the global chat but did not submit moves), and all the remaining powers benefit from it (some more, some less). Should we vote for a draw, or each one should try to go for a solo?

When's the cutoff?
On the Ghost Rating website, it says that "The Ghost-Rating list filters out games where the game ends before Autumn 1903."
So, a game ending immediately after builds of '03 would count for GR?
Would a game ending during Diplomacy of Autumn '03 count for GR?

'War' in Syria?
"The point, of course, is that the West had grown so used to attacking Arab lands - France had become so inured to sending its soldiers and air crews to Africa and the Middle East to shoot and bomb those whom it regarded as its enemies - that only when Muslims began attacking Western capital cities did we suddenly announce that we were "at war"."

NHL All-Star Game
So the NHL has announced a 3-on-3 format for the All-Star Game this season. I believe this format devalues defensemen in that, in a 3-on-3 match, both sides will field a center and 2 wingers to increase scoring chances at the cost of solid defensive play. The NHL has a long history of great defensemen, so I don't believe it is fair to devalue them by devaluing their usefulness in the All-Sta Game (ergo, less All-Star appearances for defensemen versus scorers).
Thoughts?

turkey needed for gunboat
Well apparently some players in a game entitled to encourage a lack of CDs want to play on with a banned player, so we need a replacement turkey. The position is more decent if you consider the necessary allegiances in place given the position. It'd be a fun challenge to make something of this and far from impossible.

Ohh wj one last thing before i forget. You are being lazy. I mentioned that i had voted for jeff, that vote never really had any hope of taking off. If jeff is my teammate, it was a perfect time to fake pressure on him. Do better. Ive made some weak points and some strong points, which if you were paying attention to, you would realize.

Maniac, what do you think about the recent developments

Maniac (184 D(B))
07 Nov 15 UTC
im changing my thinking on CaptJeff somewhat. Jeff's narrative that Capt was setting himself up to take a NK bullet could be authentic. I think I fell into the trap Capt fell into last time and thought that because this 'could' be false it had to be false. I'm going to take Jeff at his word on this one and completely reverse my read on him.

Espi is obvious town or great Mafia player. I haven't played with him much, but don't regard him as great Mafia so I'm sticking with obv town. No one could write like he does at pace he does without making scum-slip after scum-slip. His stream of conscience stuff couldn't be faked.

Mafia Wjessop always wants to go for MVP and I think his plan here is to fill up our thread with arguing in circles with espi and he really doesn't care if this is getting to Espi in real life.

I can't get much of a read on Yoyo and rest are just absent.

I really think the wifom stuff about why Mafia killed Ghug is a waste of time.

Everytime you post i feel conflicted. I dont know if you are scum and trying to get us to believe you, or if you are town and being genuine. I might be reverse tunneling with wjessop, buy he seems to be too scummy to be scum. Your point about him wanting to win hits me though. I dont see how town wjessop cant see what he is doing. He misses obvious stuff and if he isnt scum, he is helping scum with his actions.

Espi (338 D)
07 Nov 15 UTC
That said i cant join in on a wjessop vote. I am not thinking clearly around him. Hell, we have spent half of a day to a day total arguing, and 10 to 15 of these pages, if not more, are us going back and forth. Obviously i cant change his mind and i am wasting time on him when i should be finding scum. I also am nearly convinced that you, Maniac, are scum.

@espi - what obvious stuff does Wjessop miss?
wjessop (100 DX)
07 Nov 15 UTC
Really weird contribution from Maniac.

"I'm going to take Jeff at his word on this one and completely reverse my read on him."

--Why? Why take Jeff at his word but not others? And this is Jeff talking second-hand about captainmeme's actions.


"Mafia Wjessop always wants to go for MVP and I think his plan here is to fill up our thread with arguing in circles with espi and he really doesn't care if this is getting to Espi in real life."

-- This just sounds like to Maniac has a very warped personal view of me (I have no idea why). Why on earth does Maniac suddenly in this game that I "always wants to go for MVP" -- this is nonsense, why would I care about that stuff? And for Maniac to say that wjessop "really doesn't care if this is getting to Espi in real life" is completely wrong, and shows that he doesn't understand who I really am at all.


"Espi is obvious town or great Mafia player. I haven't played with him much, but don't regard him as great Mafia so I'm sticking with obv town. No one could write like he does at pace he does without making scum-slip after scum-slip. His stream of conscience stuff couldn't be faked."

--Strange. So Maniac is happy to believe that I am a heartless, Machiavellian player in this game, wrecking lives and driving forward to MVP, but Espi couldn't possibly fake his posts -- even when Espi himself has now already been pushed in to admitting that he has contrived his character in this game so far. Why do you ignore that, Maniac? Laziness or convenience?

We have 9 players left in the game. 6 players are town, 3 players are scum.

1. wjessop
2. ND - Dead Town/Cop
3. Yoyoyozo
4. ghug - Dead Town
5. DeathLlama
6. guak
7. Vecna

9. BloodWolf99697 - Dead Town
10. bo_sox

It means that 6 people above are town.

If we all pick between our main consensus candidates, the chances of us killing scum today are high.
wjessop (100 DX)
07 Nov 15 UTC
The main consensus targets for today seem to be Jeff Kuta, Espi, Maniac, wjessop.

Rightly or wrongly, there is little pressure on guak, DeathLlama, Vecna, Yoyo and bo today and it is unlikely they will be lynched.

Please let's be methodical about this.

Analyse the voting patterns of these people: Jeff Kuta, Espi, Maniac, wjessop.
Where did they fall in the ND lynch?
Espi (338 D)
07 Nov 15 UTC
@Maniac, just woke up, lemme get back to you on that.
@wj Do you want to vote for me, Jeff or yoyo, because as I said I will join you in that vote.
wjessop (100 DX)
07 Nov 15 UTC
Espi: I'd like more discussion.
And I want the 5 non-main candidates to speak: i.e., guak, DeathLlama, Yoyo, Vecna and bo.

I don't expect much from guak, he's extremely disappointing, and frankly I don't think he should be allowed to play future games, but the 4 others *should* and do have the capacity to interact with us.

I think the safest *consensus* vote is Jeff at this point, though.
wjessop (100 DX)
07 Nov 15 UTC
@Yoyoyo et al

The fact that Yoyo is participating in lots of other threads and actively avoiding this thread is disappointing and scum-indicative lurking for me.

At the very least, it looks like 3-4 people might just be modkilled in just over 24 hours time if they don't bother to participate.

Please can we get an official vote count?

Also, quick question, if guak, DeathLlama, Vecna and bo don't post the required 2 substantial posts or provide a vote, is it the case that they will all be modkilled?

Espi (338 D)
07 Nov 15 UTC
Espi vote analysis- Page 17 at 11 am I voted for Maniac after posting a reads case, ghug and bo are the only ones currently on that wagon. At 1pm on page 19 I vote for wjessop for a few minutes when I was really annoyed at him, ND is the only other person voting for wjessop at this time. I said throughout this time that I has a list of 6 people I would possible vote for based on my page 11 quote "Blood, vecna, Jeff, Maniac, guak, ghug and myself are the people I feel are the weak links in this, the former based on newness, the latter aside from myself on lurking. This is also the list of people I am willing to vote for, big as it might be." I also said on page 17 that Jeff was the person I intended to vote for if Maniac was not a good target. On page 22 DL ties up the vote between me and Maniac with 4-4 only half an hour prior to EOD. Page 23 I vote for Jeff trying to start a wagon on him with DL. I keep this vote on Jeff for about half an hour, meanwhile ghug and wjessop are trying very hard to convince me to vote for ND and I am wavering. Same page I vote for ND with only ghug and wjessop currently voting for him.

How does that work for you?

I don't love how Wjessop looked at Capt/Jeff's fakesoft which I noted was too obvious, said, "oh, he's confirmed scum, let's hammer him", and is now on Espi.

I also really dislike Maniac's reaction to the d1 lynch. It seems kind of dispassionate and removed, like "haha look at the silly townies they killed their cop", as he says "And the victim Blamers get in early and y2k makes me the only night kill - cheers y2k, even when you're GM you tunnel on me lol"

I'm fine with people arranging their scumreads from scummiest to towniest, but giving percentages is silly. If you want to do relative likelihood, use # of arrows to denote that. I don't see the point in assigning arbitrary percentages to everyone.

I agree with the gist of this; that being said, what do you think of Espi's "rest of the scum" pg3 slip?
