[Don't Panic]

Sorry for missing half the day guys, work and RL,

one from night chat to start with,

My thoughts.

....

DP missed (or misrepresented) something about me in his first post, and has since white-knighted me slightly, for no apparent reason.

....

I missed your clear answer, sorry, was on tapatalk and saw a kind of waffly post after you saying you do that as scum, but where was I white-knighting you?

[Linus]

ksen, what are your strongest town reads?

[Athene]

As of now I have r.c, shizz and barnett in my scum pile. Shizz for his b.s about not having enough info to comment, r.c because of reasons stated earlier, and barnett because 99% of his posts are fluff.

But deserving special mention are ksen and don't panic who I have as iffy aka unsure - leaning scummish.

[amok]

Are Scum trying to convince us (for some reason I can't quite figure out) that Scum didn't make a night kill?

read the OP again ..slowly .

You mean because of "the hole he left behind"? Hm. K, maybe I'm off base. I don't know the books so I have to look everything up, and the site I checked says The Luggage eats geographical features as well as people and things. I assumed it took a chunk of the road when it ate UT.

[Athene]

Do you have something more to add? A read on rc?

Do I have anything more to add to my expressed disbelief of Shizzle's assertion that he didn't have enough info to post anything? Not at this point, less is more and all that.

Do I have a read on r.c? I think you might be on to something over his fixation on the mantis bw. Do you think his two posts so far suggest he has knowledge not available to the rest of us? Like that there actually is scum on the mantis bw?

I meant: do you have anything more to add in general about the game (not about Shizzle specifically), for example a read on rc?

Concerning rc, it's not so much vibes that rc knows something about the mantis BW for me. He did rely on some simplifying assumptions I would not have made in the previous game I played, and he turned out to be right (he was town). It's more that I wonder if this is what rc faking his town game might look like.

Which simplifying assumptions are you talking about?

If I remember correctly there was a bit more but the merged game thread is 144 pages, so I'll just link this.

Urgh, I don't think I'll be reading that tonight.

What triggered my train of thought was the fact he did a very similar thing in the Stargate game, we were scum buddies and I was the scum on the bw.

You're right. I mixed you up with Gonzo, who had me listed in his Townish pile during Night Chat.

[Don't Panic]

Oh poor OB I bet she was looking forward to playing this game .

You sound so sincere.

Would a scum irre see mantis as a safe place to park a vote?

Probably, but only if there weren't other scum on it already from what was being said in night chat. But Irre was the second vote and was heading offline so might not have realised that mantis was going to be lynched. Could have seen it as a safe non-relevant vote.

With the demise of Ob, Hmmmm.

So... For the two cardflips Ob must have made a kill before she was hit by scum... or there is a vigilante?

Why must she have been hit by scum? Or anything else? I read it as her eating UT was the cause of her death. So I was thinking UT invented something to kill anyone who NKed him.

Just a flavour note on this, BS Johnson is the worst inventor in history, if he had a device that killed Ob, it was probably invented to peel potatoes, or as an ornamental lake, we are talking about a man who redesigned the wheel to make pi 3, because it was tidier.

It does say OB caused Ut's death ....... erm so no scum kill then?? so who was blocked ?

You think there are 3 NKs?

3 per night in a 15 player game would be a little too high, wouldn't it?

I think irre, ksen or shizz is the next most logical lynch. I am most in favor of lynching irre because she jumped on mantis' wagon when she realized the DP wagon wasn't picking up steam so she started the mantis wagon with the 2nd vote. ##vote irre##

Why would Irre do that?

She did do it. So ask her. Don't you think it was strange she gave up on DP when it was apparent the wagon was going nowhere? In my experience town irre makes one vote and trolley tracks, refusing herself to be deterred by the opinions of other players. So when one wagon was too weak she helped get mantis lynched instead. Otherwise we could have hit scum. Irre lead both the wagons yesterday, both were lacking with votes made with much demonstrated reasoning.

Second vote on mantis, unless there were more scum in there too how could she know the bw would gather steam?

I don't have enough info to post anything. Also, posting just to post is not something I do.

This is Ratz, that is possibly sacrilege.

Depends on whether the GM sends out block messages to all blockees, or just specials. It varies from GM to GM.

The lack of any indication of how The Luggage died is odd. The only example I've seen of an inventor was in the Elfquest game, where one player was able to give away inventions to other players (giving away an invention N1 meant it could be used on N2, etc.). I guess it's possible Zigmen made a somewhat different version of the inventor role. Not sure why odds would favor that scenario over the oblivion-as-scum-kill scenario, though.

BTW, Shizzle, did you change your mind about DP being scummy?

If anyone got an invention and zig is keeping Johnson true to flavour be careful. http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Bergholt_Stuttley_Johnson

[Don't Panic]

Missed a quote in there, should read as this:

Isn't talking about being blocked just asking for a scum hit?

I don't know how it works on RatSkep, but here it is typical that blocked players get a block PM (and in fairly recent game, Zigmen was very upset that he didn't get a block PM when he was blocked, so I'd think he would send them in this game). If you've already outed that you're blocked, it's usually best to also out flavor info from the block PM.

No worries, was starting to wonder there.

Well, a lot of the "fluff" have ben questions about play here and getting used to style. It's been tough figuring out scum as the method here seems to be throwing a bunch of shit around and seeing what sticks. I can't seem to read between the lines yet and the "piles" seem to be lists for the sake of making lists. About two thirds of the people left are town so they must be sincere but I really don't see the so-called reasoning in many of the posts.

For example, Ksen. What value is there in simply posting that you were blocked? What information is to be gained by town from that? I still don't understand. If there is valuable info to be had from being blocked, out with it. If nothing is to be gained, great, you just painted a target on you for no reason. You want fluff, that's fluff in spades.

##vote Ksen##

[BarnettNewman]

##unvote ksen##vote
his contributions looks towny and he has made an insight into the kills I hadn't thought of.

I'm on an early start (it's 5am). I'll be on the road for the next 7 hours and will check in periodically.####

##unvote ##vote

White Knighting a guy who one page earlier posted this?####

##unvote ##vote How carefully have you read day 1?####

##unvote ##vote

Er, not very. I figure you guys would clue me in if I missed something important.####

##unvote ##vote

C'mon, MZ. Where's the lucid insight that made you shift your vote? If I were to have a pile I would consider throwing you on. ####

"E"?

OK, that's useful. I skimmed through lots of pages of the Stargate game looking for posts by you and rc. Looks you were both very quiet, maybe you entered the game on day 3, lol... Didn't see the part you mention, I guess it's towards the end, but note the general assessment of both of you seems to have been along the lines of very quiet but protown.

Will try to check more later, I have to log off soon and will probably not come back before nightfall.

[Magicziggy]

Barnet, if you had read my vote on ksen it was preceded by a comment about generating discussion. I had no vote rationale on ksen. His post has me thinking town rather than don't know. You are distinctly don't know leaning scum.


I'm on a break from driving right now. I should arrive before nightfall. I'll stay logged on and refresh occasionally.

It was going to be an ETA ranting about the embedded quote limit,

I deleted the message so I forget the char name but it was VT. Sort of like Conan the Barbarian but spelled different. And I think he's like old or something.
