Aliens: Day 4

[brownie55]

Crap, they just called a coop drill for work.

In case I don't mae it back, and going with my first instinct

[BobArrgh]

LightFoot, if you think that one or both of KidV and Rabid are Scum, would you consider shifting your vote to KidV? We really need to consolidate our votes. If we can lynch KidV and he flips Scum, then we can shift our attention to Rabid toMorrow.

We've got just under 24 hours I'll be around

But I'm off to bed now

[vindictus]

KidV (5) - KidV (Self Vote), BobArrgh, Scathach, Rabid Renaissance, Brownie55
Zeener Diode (2) - Zeener Diode (Self Vote), Flying Squid, Bear_Nenno
Rabid Renaissance (2) - Brewha, Lightfoot
Flying Squid (1) - Flying Squid (Self Vote)

There are ~23 hours left in the day.

[BobArrgh]

Vindictus, thank you for the vote count with the self-votes shown. That makes it really clear.

[Flying Squid with Goggles]

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to the thread - Sunday and Monday were pretty terrible. Sunday started with someone breaking the boat's only toilet before we even left the dock, and it took a good hour or so to fix.


So back to the important stuff: this game.


Looking back over the votes:

Bear: D1 Silver Jan, D2 (none? self vote?), D3 Brewha Zeener, D4 Zeener

Scathach: D1 Silver Jan, D2 Rabid, D3 Bear, D4 KidV

Zeener: D1 Bill, D2 Colby, D3 Bill, D4 None yet? Didn't see one.

KidV: D1 gnarlycharlie pizza, D2 DogMom Scathach, D3 Scathach Squid Bill, D4 None yet?

Squid: D1 Silver Jan pizza, D2 Zeener, D3 Zeener Bear Zeener, D4 Zeener

Lightfoot: D1 Colby, D2 Rabid, D3 Bear Zeener, D4 Rabid

BobArrgh: D1 Silver Jan, D2 Brewha, D3 Bear Zeener, D4 KidV

DogMom/brownie: D1 Silver Jan, D2 Colby, D3 Bill KidV Bill, D4 KidV

Brewha: D1 pizza, D2 none? inaction, D3 Brewha Rabid, D4 Rabid

Rabid: D1 Silver Jan, D2 Scathach, D3 Bill, D4 KidV


Given the events of D3, I've got reduced suspicion of Zeener and Bear. I'm a little wary of posters who have been too sure about who they want to kill, and I'm also suspicious of vote shenanigans yesterDay (although I can't be certain if that's due to Zeener being the infectee or some other reason.) There has been some discussion of the train on Bill that developed yesterDay as a suspicious vote trail, which would tend to point a finger at Zeener, KidV, brownie, and Rabid; but there has been little discussion of D3.094 and D3.095 of the Zeener train, which drop some quick agreements without much explanation. That would tend to lead me in the direction of Lightfoot, Bob, and Bear.

Given that Zeener was the one not lynched, so we don't know eir status, I'm gonna go with:




KidV hasn't been sure of eir votes, while Rabid has appeared much more certain. Rabid has been a top participator, but so was Giraffe last game and pizza in Hill House. Also, there are 5 votes on KidV, which is a lot if there's only 6 Town. That could mean scum are satisfied with the idea of lynching KidV.

We've got to keep an eye on this right up to End of Day.

I think that's exactly what it means.

Time for me to explain myself and apologize for my shenanigans. I was really not happy with the snuggling I was getting from several players, and I wondered if that wasn't scum trying to make sure an infected KidV was trusted enough to make end-game. Rather than call the players out, I decided to see if I could smoke them out. My silence, and my piggyback vote, were both intended to draw votes and force scum to defend me if I was infected. I think there would have been arguments against lynching me by now if I was.

I'll have a vote on the board later today.

[Rabid Renaissance]

Y'all need to make up your mind about how you're going to interpret my posts. Now I'm getting a vote because I'm too confident? Not a single vote I've placed has been confident. Ah the days of yore, when posts in which I simultaneously stated my doubts and placed a vote were what had people suspicious of me...

Despite what LightFoot seems to think and what many people seem to also be comfortable with, the reality is that toDay does not have to come down to a choice between KidV and me. There are quite a few other players left in play at quite a rich Scum/Town ratio.

They're in such a good position I don't think there is a need to mount a manipulative or orchestrated attempt to swing votes away from a fellow Scummer. I have my doubts that KidV is the infectee based on the current vote count, but my doubts as to his alignment are less so.

I don't agree with this. A unanimous vote tells us nothing, while a divided and close vote contains a huge amount of information, especially in this game. Scum are against Town gaining information, of course.

I don't believe I've ever expressed suspicion of you or anyone else based on expressing doubts at the same time as placing a vote.

What's more important to me is that while you have mentioned doubts, not once were these doubts ever sufficient to encourage you to change a vote. Talk is cheap, but the voting record is as close as you can get to action in this game, as opposed to talk.

[KidVermicious]

I'm going to bed and won't be around at EOD. I thought about changing my vote to Rabid in self defense, but I think knowing my alignment will be useful for Town. I suspect there are at least a couple scum that took my bait.

See you all after Dusk. Or not.

[Rabid Renaissance]

I didn't say you, I said y'all. But perhaps I'm the only one entertained by the irony that just follows me around from game to game where Player A suspects me for Behavior X while Player B suspects me for Behavior Opposite X.

Lots of other folks have made votes that they haven't changed either, and you can't hang the entire mislynch history of the game at my feet alone. What is inherently more scummy about not changing votes? Nothing, that's what. Another vapor case.

[BobArrgh]

There are at least two ways that the lack of activity around the votes for KidV can be interpreted:

1. He could be Town, and the Scum know they don't have to expose themselves; or,
2. He could be Scum, and is being thrown under the bus.

My thinking is that it is option #2.

I highly doubt it is number 2.

[brownie55]

Thanks goodness that's over and the world is safe from unregulated mergers. Now back to the game. Reviewing cases one more time before EOD quickly.

There are ~1.5 hours left in the day.

So, with deep thinking hat on....

KidV pushed some buttons, or tried to, with the silent act. Nobody jumped to his defense and he will be lynched tonight if nothing changes. So, that pretty much rules him out as the infected Marine barring a late rush in another direction.

So, RabidCookies was number three on KidV. Enough insure his lead at the time. Could be a bussing, could be a forced miss-lynch, could be an honest mistakeif he is town. I don't care if she sounds sure or not, but if KidV is lynched tonight, that will put RabidCookies vote on the lynched player three out of four nights and wrong on all of them.

Yeah I'm a lazy player, but I should not have to point out to you how many other people that this applies to, and how it is completely pointless considering that EVERY VOTE ON A LYNCHED PLAYER SO FAR HAS BEEN FOR A DEAD MISLYNCHED TOWNIE.

You seem awfully certain that KidV would flip Town. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

[BobArrgh]

Time's up ... please put down your pencils and turn in your papers.

[BobArrgh]

Just pass them to the aisles.

[BobArrgh]

Which way are you going to flip, Rabid?

[Rabid Renaissance]

A little to the left.

[BobArrgh]

As long as you stick the landing!

[vindictus]

Results to be posted in a bit.
