Either that, or we have two we pretty much ALL suspect so it makes baddie shenanigans harder. I am happy with my vote on Turnip Head, but am also good with all the votes on Boomrique. That also plays into the plan for signalling that 509378 was discussing.

We have had some really good talk today, thanks for putting up with me not being a part of it. Sometimes life is that way.

I will probably post again towards the end of day, mainly if a vote change is required, or to reaffirm my vote for teh TH.

Welcome replacement people, goodluck catching up, if you read anything,read the last hour of Day 2 starting here, with Fuzz' Day 2 vote for ika:

And going to the lynch post. It explains a lot of the rest of the game.

Dom wrote:Why might someone vote Boomslang over TH? HAs he just been really fleety?

He replaced Enrique, whose behavior whioe he was in the game was not the most civie thing in the world. He appeared to take nothing seriously until we lynched RadicalFuzz, a cop, and Enrique got mad. He also was voting for Fuzz before the bandwagon against him started, and then Enrique immediately switched his vote to someone else (ika, i think) once the real Fuzz votes started coming in.

His post history is not that long if you want to check it out for yourself.

I really hope Epi doesn't get lynched, I haven't played with him in forever and I'm liking his new approach this game.

Question: If Turnip Head is a cop, how does this Day 2 post make sense?

Prisoner 509378 wrote:On the flip side, Dom gave the appearance that he was working out his vote as much as he could before he placed it. I'm not inclined to hand him the key to the city for that though, because if I were a baddie thrust into his position I would certainly try to at least take on the right "form" before tossing my vote onto a mislynch.

So on that front, neither Elohcin nor Dom can win. I don't like the lack of an effort to justify a vote, and I don't like the effort to justify it either. It's a tough scenario.

Dom wrote:#1) I'm not reading 160+ pages of the game to catch up. I'm just not. You wouldn't ever hear from me. Given this, I asked for summaries. I did my best. I listened to your feedback, waited for TH to respond, didn't get one, needed to vote, and did so. What could I have possibly done differently? I don't really understand why you find me suspicious, only that you apparently do. Many people voted TH, and I tried to educate my vote. Why am I criminal for doing so?

You're not criminal for doing so. I also never asked you to read the whole thread; I even said that would be a waste of time. I'm saying that your effort to educate yourself doesn't make you look better. Your predecessor did close to nothing and you're left as a suspect in his place. It's a raw deal, but what can ya do.

Dom wrote:#2) Why can't I win?

Because Eloh handled her TH vote quite differently to you and I suspect her too. I'm granting the inconsistency on my part -- you're both suspicious to me regardless of what you've done because of the people you filled in for.

That wording was poor, and I thank you for pointing out my error. It is a singular topic. I do think you are nitpicking a bit, because my point still stands.

Do you have anything else to say about Quin?

It was a joke. But I'd like to hear what topics you think I've been dancing around. You're weird, Domonugoose.

Not like this.

Prisoner 509378 wrote:The hosts did say that the Warden's posts in the prison (which y'all cannot see) were sometimes generated by themselves -- MP and Daisy. Maybe that was necessary because the actual player with that role wasn't around often enough to fulfill that necessary duty. That would make sense if it was Mongoose and then Draconus. I'll go ahead and name Dom as the 5th member of my proposed cop team.

Process of elimination. The spot you occupy in this game has been absent all game long, and we've almost certainly had at least one lurking, inactive scum player. Surely you can understand this.

No. You are.

Your reasons are just nonsensical. For example, you don't trust Epi, but trust him enough to leave Elo alone.

For example, you call me a lurker, but I have offered more than Elo. For example, my post count is currently 38. Over two game days, that's not half bad, especially replacing in on Day 7. I read back on the Day 2 lynch as asked, and if I'm not mistaken, offered some thoughts on those proceedings.

So your position doesn't make sense.

I did not call you a lurker. I called your predecessors lurkers. I acknowledge that there is trouble in my Elohcin read. This does not eliminate you as a potential suspect. I see your posts, I have read all or most of them, but nothing you've said has been overwhelmingly townish. My position makes perfect sense. It is not the strongest read, but it makes sense.

Do you understand that you have been here for like less than 1/3 of this game? This read is based as much or more on your predecessors than you. Right now you are mostly just screaming at me for being suspicious of inactive players in a game that obviously has inactive scum members. It's not a great look.

Nerolunar wrote:Damn. Crappy situation we are in, but I believe that we can still win! I like Sonejis recent posts and GTH he strikes me as civ.

Prisoner 509378 wrote:I think Dom's initial reaction is rather telling though. Instead of staunchly contesting me for essentially calling him a confirmed cop, he just acted like he didn't understand my methods. He should be fighting for his life and getting angry.

Sloonei wrote:I was reading Dom's posts and I started to doze off. It's not you, it's me, Dom! But my hazy less-than-half-awake interpretation was that he's a baddie trying to hammer home this victory by finally breathing some life into a roster spot in this game that has been completely void up until he showed up (I commend him for his effort regardless of alignment. Thank you Dom). He's been vocal and appeared open minded, but I haven't seen a single word of him resisting any idea in the thread except for the suggestion that he might be bad, which he vehemently shoots down all the time. Other than that, he's just going along with any suspect that come up in the thread. His vote can go anywhere every day and he's leaving things open and using this to his advantage. Putting my vote on Dom.

And you wonder why I'm not sold on this game. I came in and after one day was told I was probably a baddie-- not because of anything I'd done, but rather, because you deduced it. Now you say there's no point in trying to change your mind.
