I know this post wasn't game related but I had to tell someone.

You are there for her. It means so much for pets to be loved.

Christmas is too much and I never understand why. I hope I just have a cold and am simply beaten down by the holiday season. May your stress be relieved.

Here’s the thing. It’s complete wine.

Pleo could be vanilla town trying to pull a Mariah or Elf NK. Who knows. He could also be a cop and by claiming not doc is causing some confusion on his randing.

I wouldn’t take any stock in it Day 1 and let’s re-evaluate in a few days

Thank you, we have had her since she was 5 weeks old, she is my child.

I agree with you, it's worth considering but not even worth a Fos.

[LightFoot]

Poorly worded and quick- I will be at work EOD


post 44 Pleo states he is not a doc of any kind
and after the cop claim

post 97 he is 'not protecting Prof.'

as if he wanted to make certain it was noticed?

Small beans but it is what I've got right now.

Okay, I won’t protect you, either, then.

Pleo claimed in post 44 and Prof claimed in post 92 so you haven't even got a slight case yet

I often see the opposite being used as at argument to vote a sub, it happened to me a couple of games ago. Is this an Archangel-specific read, or a generalisation?

Or Town.

Or lying. I guess you deduce possible godfather as he excludes himself from being any other scum role?

Sorry to hear about Vicksie.

I think it depends how you interpret “and after the cop claim”, I think it’s introducing the second event, as opposed to the timing of the first. It’s a slight case.

Looking back, three niggly things:

Just because.

And maybe the opposite, drive-by vote and disappears.

That's awful. I hope it isn't as bad as what it could be.

Archangel is set to be wrapped as of now. Less than 24 hours in Day 1. 8 active votes with 19 players. Should be pretty interesting.

Please spell the names in your votes correctly.

[Swammerdami]

Archangel is the one on whom I have a slight Scum lean. Meta-inference about asking for sub could go either way.



I feel better about this vote knowing that it's just for "a player to be named later."

Hint: a holiday classic, jazzed up, can you name that tune in six notes?

Was this guessed it revealed? I'm going with Carol of the Bells by trans Siberian what's it.

You. need to unvote first.

Actually with the vote counting robot if you unvote anybody it unvotes whoever you voted. I was also kinda testing that. (Yes.)

Speaking of HoH, if this is the same setup as HoH, and I think it is, the docs could not self-protect.

I know I was just failing to be clever about Hiro NOT being this game, so who were you actually unv... You know what, doesn't matter lol

No, it's totally on me, I tend to see one thing I think looks sus early on and then, well I guess it is tunneling. What I SHOULD do is ask myself if it could also fit a town motive. I tend not to do that. But hey, I'm trying.

(I don't know if it's worth mentioning but words are cheap so I will add that until this game, for the last entire year with one exception I have always already known your alignment if we were both playing. But I did the same kind of tunneling the last game where I was just watching.)

Not guessed. Not Carol of the Bells.

Furather hint: I spent many years working seasonal retail which soured me on most holiday songs, even ones I liked, such as the TransSiberian version of Carol of the Bells, that song by the Waitresses, and the heavy metal version of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. This one is a little more obscure, at least in the jazz version, and if it ever got played in a mall, I didn't hear it, or at least not 10x a shift for weeks on end, so I still like it. Once a year.

My humming was probably off. I know I skipped a hyphen, I corrected that somewhere, it should be "Da da-da-da DA, da"

[Vanta Black]

Nope! No one is going to guess this!

But see my reply to raventhief for further hint.

Sleigh Ride.

[Archangel]

because I think their explanation of why they voted TCM was overly defensive.

(I still need a sub, but I’ll try to play until they show up.)

[A Poor Shepherd Boy]

Anyone around?

[Vanta Black]

Hey, congrats on failing your test. Hope you are feeling better, if not now then soon.

[A Poor Shepherd Boy]

I still am kind of out of it, but greatly relieved. Everything I have read about Omicron says the symptoms mimic the common cold. Cases are rising all around here and I have been working overtime since Thanksgiving to keep up with the holiday madness. I think exhaustion plus anxiety plus many unmasked harried customers took its toll. Something had to give.

I feel bad because I know the store has been understaffed, and my missing the last two days has made others work even more overtime. But even if I still feel lousy tomorrow I can take over-the-counter medicine and muddle through without a fear of infecting others with Covid. And there are two more rough pre-Xmas days to get past.

[Swammerdami]

When I try to hum this, all the Da's and da's come out the same pitch.

I'll take "Classical tunes with first 12 notes the same pitch" for $100, Alec. What's the name of the tune that goes something like

G g g g G G . G g g G .
G g a B B . B b b B
F f g A A . E e f G G
D d d D D. D e f# G

I don't think I've heard the tune since the 20th century (and it probably isn't a Christmas song) but it must be VERY famous, or else there's no way it would have stuck in my brain.

If anyone can identify the tune I'm thinking of from the above — which doubtless has a few notes wrong — I'll promise to Unvote you three times and gift you five books of your choice from the collection listed at Gutenberg.Org.

Is it this one? Beethoven's 7th symphony, movement 2 (Allegretto)
It starts very soft, gets louder. I think the people who do classical recordings are just messing with the unwashed public that doesn't go hear them in person.

[A Poor Shepherd Boy]

Sorry folks I wanted to chat but my head is swimming so I am going to bed.

[Vanta Black]

Take care of yourself! Good luck on getting through the next two days and I hope you get a vacation after all that.

It was specifically about Archangel, I just don't see her letting her scum team down at all and she has a lot of fun being scum. Of course she could be scum but that is just my impression.

You are forgiven, I tend to do the same thing.

Glad you are covid free, you still have to look after yourself though.

[Silverjan]

Thanks for your kind words everyone.

I am going to look at the cases for AA, I just don't see it at the moment.

[Silverjan]

Right then, Pleo voted for AA for her very first post, which was about not understanding anything that was being said. Vanta vote her for a feeling and because AA already had a vote on her and Swammi voted her because of a slight scum lean. There doesn't seem to be anything compelling there.

[Silverjan]

Swammi has voted for no wrap and then for Archangel without unvoting. He probably forgot to unvote but he was accused of pushing for no wrap so he should have noticed that he had voted for it. Swammi's other posts have just been light-hearted.



I also hope this answers guiri's question as to who I think is actively lurking.

This really bothers me - you are basically saying that because someone/AA asked for sub they must be town. Indeed, the only way you could say that for certain is that AA is on the same team as you.

A sub is unlikely to be forthcoming over xmas, and I'd rather wrap someone who isn't able to play than someone who is. Plus how AA flips will shed some light on Jan's comment above

Bravo, Vanta! I was curious enough to click to one of the "Type a melody and we'll find your tune" sites AND another message-board. No luck whatsdoever. But YOU got it right away. Kudos.

I'll begin to fulfill my promises:

You cen reveal your book choices publicly, or confidentially at the Gutenberg.org site: Up to you.

[Swammerdami]

I'll repeat my vote on Angel. Very weak case, but the best I see (ignoring the OMGUS case against Jan! )


And wrapping her has the meta-advantage of NOT depleting our pool of substitutes.

Archangel is about to be wrapped up if nothing changes. 11 active votes with 19 players. I don't mind last minute stuff when I am modding, but please make sure your votes are spelled correctly and showing up in the vote counter.

You have: just under 6 hours left.

So sorry to hear this.

Nah. Just discussing my thought process. I actually wanted to start a train to match yours to see reactions but it seems it's too late.

That said,



First wants to have no wrap then takes the easy route and votes Archangel. Doesn't sit well with me.
