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.

Even if you're town, you're not gonna die tonight.

Since I'm locked out of my fucking room and only have my phone, my reads are gonna be short and sweet -

Scum:

Maniac - coached D1, made no valuable contribution and lurked. Didn't claim he was busy until pressured and didn't give any sort of specifics at all even though town Maniac has gone out of his way to get full-blown alibis in the past. If he were town, he would do that. Going into D2, he hedged his reads and lied about guak's tendencies as mafia. He has been my top scumread and will stay there until he convinces me otherwise.

Espi - he has been saved twice in favor of the investigator and a VT. The former was led by a VT but more than likely participated in heavily by mafia, though I agree with those who have said that it is possible at least one mafia wasn't on the ND wagon. That said, I don't see that alone as reason to SR guak. On D2, Espi was saved again late in favor of Jeff. Espi has also blindly followed a couple of players, myself included, and buddied hard on a number of occasions. I wouldn't be shocked if he stole the limelight again on D3 so that his partners can redirect the lynch again.

Slight scum -

Wjessop - I do not see any rhyme or reason to wjessop's play at the end of day 1 when it came to killing ND. I see him following ghug, whose case was flimsy and based largely on his gut, not on concrete evidence. I can also see him killing ghug thinking that he would be the first to catch on to the EOD1 charade - of all the people to feel threatened by ghug, wjessop is up in the top group along with Maniac. Beyond this, wjessop has blamed the lynched player on both days rather than blaming himself for helping mislynch them in an effort to justify his own play. He has ignored this point this far as far as I recall.

Null -

Guak - I don't know why he considers it acceptable to lurk like he does. If he is town, he is hurting us. I will consider him my top scum-lurker candidate on D3 if he doesn't come out and play because of the people lurking, he knows how to lurk best and he knows when, as town, he needs to start showing up like he has when he lurked as town in the past.

Vecna - I haven't seen much of him at all. I don't know whether he never really got into the game or if he is distracted by the ins and outs of the night chat. For whatever reason, I feel like his presence is less during the night than during the day.

Slight town -

Yoyo - I have reason to scumread him and townread him. He softed cop, but we already saw one VT do that. He might have bussed Maniac, but that theory only holds if Maniac were scum. He promised a case on Maniac and also claims to have created a vote tracker, though he hasn't shared it yet. He has been fairly active in chunks - about as active as I have been - and I hope to see more consistency on D3. For now, I don't expect him to be a lynch candidate.

DL - I don't think he is cleared by any means for pointing out meme's soft since meme flipped town. However, I think that his reaction to ND's cop claim is a fairly safe towntell. I don't expect mafia to take the chance of openly denying a cop claim like ND's at the end of the day, knowing the lynch is still likely to go through. Mafia would simply use their NK and keep quiet about it given the no-doc setup.

I hope every remaining player posts reads by the EON. We need all the help we can get.

The others are baffled at the discovery that WJESSOP was indeed a human. WJESSOP's dismembered body is packed away for inspection -- all crevices will be inspected.
Espi (338 D)
09 Nov 15 UTC
That was unexpected. Atleast it is clear that he was simply misguided town.

I will have to decide between bo and Maniac today, although guak is an option as well in my mind. Aside from bos read on me, I agree with most of what he said and am thinking in a similar way.

I am concerned that so many people did not feel the need to post cases, so for now I am feeling inclined to think bo posted because he was town and thought he would die.

Espi (338 D)
09 Nov 15 UTC
@wjessop you know the rules, you die and you stop talking. Enjoy the god thread, you now know more then 4 of us.
Espi (338 D)
09 Nov 15 UTC
Maniac are you still busy? You felt the need to comment on wjessops death but commented on nothing before it.

With so much at stake, I am going to start the pressure early.

##VOTE Maniac

Anything you would like to talk about? I am getting a headache from reading the thread so much and might just have to put off that analysis I promised until tomorrow, but I am more than willing to answer any questions you might have, or to do some more indepth reading into someone you want to know my opinion on so that we can discuss the likelyhood of their being scum.

Espi (338 D)
10 Nov 15 UTC
I hope that it is worth reading when it is done. I have been reading the thread over and over trying to make sure I understand as much as I can about what is going on and taking some notes. The analysis will focus on activity in the thread compared to votes, as well as see who most closely followed town votes. I imagine people are curious as to how I was saved twice in a row.
Espi (338 D)
10 Nov 15 UTC
Hey bo, are you really town? If so what do you think about both of us voting for the other and seeing who bites?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
10 Nov 15 UTC
I don't know what you mean by that. If you're town, why would you want to cross your vote with another townie? That's just two wasted town votes.
