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.

Maniac (189 D(B))
08 Nov 15 UTC
@wjessop - the most compelling case you've made is the knowledge that vecna has about espi's movement. I think it's more compelling against vecna than Espi, but vecna wasn't happening - hence my vote for Espi. When Yoyo ties the vote I switch as Jeff is my personal scum read and it breaks the tie.
wjessop (100 DX)
08 Nov 15 UTC
The best thing you can do Espi is not talk now until the final 24 hours of Day 3.

Seriously, if you're town, resist the urge to interact with the thread. We need the space to analyse others.

Right now Maniac is definitely a concern for me -- he was like a rent-a-vote today, switching between all 3 of wjessop, Jeff and Espi.
wjessop (100 DX)
08 Nov 15 UTC
Seriously Espi, take a break from the thread. No one should be lynching Espi on Day 3, at least they'd be 2 other scum to lynch.
Espi (338 D)
08 Nov 15 UTC
Does everyone concur that i should not talk tonight
wjessop (100 DX)
08 Nov 15 UTC
Until the last half of Day 3.
Me too, frankly.
Others need to step up.

the only one I'm sure of as town right now is DeathLlama; I'm going to reread the whole thread.

08 Nov 15 UTC
Mafua will obviously keep me and Espi alive.
Maniac (189 D(B))
08 Nov 15 UTC
No I don't agree Espi. We should always lynch #1 scum read, it's BS for anyone to say x is 100%scum now let's fine #2. Especially as Wjessop has been certain of other people being scum already this game and been proved wrong.

Just in case you are night killed, we also need your final thoughts.
wjessop (100 DX)
08 Nov 15 UTC
There's no way Espi will be night killed.

He's so nicely postponed for Day 3 lynch.

Ah, Day 3 would be so nice to have some cop scans.
Espi (338 D)
08 Nov 15 UTC
I have packing to do tonight and tomorrow morning, but after i will have time to post before eon. I will do an analysis on the votes on me, who stayed on and who switched. Right now maniac is my top scum pick, we havent been able to kill him yet. I raised concerns about yoyo earlier. I am really worried about how wjessop is acting now and i dont get how bo has made so many mistakes. Vecna, guak and dl have done shit so far in my mind.
Espi (338 D)
08 Nov 15 UTC
Eod was on d1. Maniac yoyo and wjessop voted on the same wagon then to
ND (7): ghug, wjessop, Espi, Vecna, Yoyoyozo, Maniac, DeathLlama8
Espi (2): guak, Jeff Kuta
Maniac (1): bo_sox48
wjessop (1): ND
Espi (338 D)
08 Nov 15 UTC
Compare to
Jeff Kuta (5): DeathLlama8, wjessop, Espi, Yoyoyozo, Maniac
Espi (3): guak, bo_sox48, Jeff Kuta
Maniac (1): Vecna
wjessop (100 DX)

Hm. Of the 4 non-ND voters, 2 have flipped town, leaving guak and bo.

Bo has shot high up in my scum reading.

@Espi: so both times, bo places himself to not be on the lynch.
wjessop (100 DX)

I think guak believed Espi would be lynched tonight.

Bo HAS to be scum.

Also, considering I was not only away around the deadline but away for the entire duration of ND's wagon, I don't know how you can judge my lack of attention to it. I did not even see it until after it was over.
wjessop (100 DX)
08 Nov 15 UTC
You haven't mentioned anything about a change in your read on me.
Desperate attempt, Bo.

EXPLAIN YOUR VOTES!

Wjessop wants me silent and bo and maniac want me to talk...
guak (3381 D)
08 Nov 15 UTC
@wj: why did you switch after that very convincing argument? I mean killing Espi could had potentially gotten us two scum in a single shot
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
08 Nov 15 UTC
"I'm disappointed that you saved Espi twice in a row, wjessop."

This is me implying suspicion of you.

I voted for Maniac D1 because of the reasons I presented them - he coached, he bussed, and he lurked. I voted for him throughout day 2 for similar reasons, and then caught him hedging and lying in his reads. I voted for Espi because I thought he slipped - I miscounted, thinking D2 was MYLO, and that a mislynch ended the game. If it were, the line I quoted on Espi would have been a scumslip, but it was my error.

Beyond those two, the only people I have generally been suspicious of are Yoyo and DL, the former because of his connections with Maniac and the latter because he seems to be walking the line of lurking and not, saying just enough to sneak by, though I remember thinking that I saw something that towncleared him earlier. I forget what it was. It wasn't him pointing out meme's soft, it was something else.

Now, since I'm done wasting my time with you and your caps lock, explain your own votes.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
09 Nov 15 UTC
I would add that my suspicion of guak and Vecna increases the more they lurk, because, as I have been saying, there is typically at least one lurking scum. I expect there to be more than one now that we will be in LYLO. I am also getting weird vibes from wjessop but I would like to see where this conversation goes before I get into that.
wjessop (100 DX)
09 Nov 15 UTC
@bo @guak

I've already explained why I, perhaps wrongly, switched my vote. You're right, we should have just dealt with the Espi issue.
"
@Maniac:
1. Jeff and Espi were my 2 top scum reads, I was voting either of them.
2. I didn't like the way guak, Maniac and Jeff all came online in the last hour and plonked votes on Espi -- explanations from all of them are needed.
3. Jeff's vote without any explanation seemed acummy.
4. Nervous with the vote, I switched to Jeff.
5. It filled up just as fast so it suggests to me that maybe both are inno.

Maniac also shifted his vote to Espi -- why did you not include yourself as well?"
wjessop (100 DX)
09 Nov 15 UTC
Purely based on meta voting patterns -- I'd say bo is moving up in likelihood of being scum.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
09 Nov 15 UTC
Explain D1. Do so without blaming ND - his actions, or lack thereof, when it comes to his claim are irrelevant. What is relevant is how attention shifted, like magic, from Espi to him, and how you followed ghug even though all ghug had was a gut read on him based on whether or not ND scumread him.
wjessop (100 DX)
09 Nov 15 UTC
Is this you trying to be bullish and shift the little bit of attention I've placed on you?

You've never stuck around so long before.
