Shit, I didn't pay attention. Sorry for that. Still weird that he put a vote on you, though, but hey it's Vompatti...
That "hey it's Vompatti" comment sure clashes with your previous "There must be a very good reason" comment.

He's unpredictable, but not insane. Can't really dismiss all of his acts as unreasonable. I, however, had not seen the "Mingus is a confirmed civ." post.

He damn should. You'll be killing a civilian if you lynch me. Why am I looking worse than Dixon or Hiromi?

Maid

Maid

Mingus, Coleman was the cop.

Maid

I've isolated Bill Dixon and took my time looking at the polls. Bill Dixon's got my vote tonight.

Maid

EBWOP: I'd like to see your reasoning for picking me today, Miles.

Maid

Now, why did officer Coleman place a vote on Mingus? Did he know Mimgus was a baddie or was that just a wild guess?...

Maid

Voting for me this game is an worse idea than voting for Trump.

Maid

Let's not forget that our deceased friend, the cop Ornette Coleman, once placed a vote on Mingus and put it back on Hiromi to try and avoid getting lynched.

Vince Guaraldi wrote:We'll need a few people to help lynch Uehara, seeing as she and I are the last two hold-outs. Fleck said he could go that way but that wouldn't be enough.

Do you really think that two baddies would both take part in a late-day last-ditch hail mary train on another player like that though?

Vince Guaraldi wrote:Finally Miss Uehara. Her Day 1 vote gave life to a Col-train and allowed Puente to try to save Buble. Uehara hasn't been much of a talker, at least not with words that matter. Perhaps she's flying under the radar. But that Day 1 vote belies all the under the radar squawking. Navarro talked a good game against Coltrane, so you could argue that it makes sense for her to cast a vote for a good argument- but again, like Dixon, it'd be a vote for someone else's ideas and not her own. The part that bugs me is this- knowing that Puente was bad, would two baddies really go for a back-to-back save like that? And if so, why not just hop on our weak but curious Dixon train? Her Day 2 vote is possibly sketchy too. She kept Fleck out there in the lead while minds were changing. Maybe she thought she could use other people's ideas for a second day and railroad a civvie with people out for his blood.

I may be wrong; Dixon is still a very strong candidate for the last baddie.

Maid

I guess Vince was killed because he suggested lynching Hiromi.

Maid

Mr. Bill Dixon, you out of all us has the most interesting vote history and behaviour. I'm afraid I'll have to pick you tomorrow. Please do tell me why I shouldn't lynch you.

Thats........ Something I cant entirely help, im a busrt poster as i like to call it, so what i mean by that is i will come in and post a bunch of stuff in multi post fashion. I am also usually a one/two liner post about it cus i am normally not a wall type poster

Do you really think condensing three phrases into one post makes it a wall of text? Lawd almighty...

On the flip side, sometimes it is nice to avoid a huge wall of text single post by splitting it up into logical sections in different posts.

It is nice, but not when each post is a one liner.

Maid

Maid

I shall ISO Hiromi, Mingus and Dixon tomorrow afternoon.

Are you willing to listen now? After I was already saying he was cop? And that he was town?

And that Mingus needs to be quiet now if he's town

Wow, you really did spare no effort to tell us that he was cop:

Bela Fleck wrote:lynch is on probable cop. not joining

Did you really think that would convince us?

Maid

Fuck. I guess Vomps isn't the kind of guy who defends himself.

Maid

Will have to do some reading after work tonight, I haven't really considered voting Hiromi.

Vince Guaraldi wrote:Unless you expect anyone to infer suspicion from "Tito's absence is bothering me. The fact that our amigo is on the verge of being lynched and has only voted twice is bad."

I corrected the "voted" part to "posted". And yes, I believe those who fly under the radar have something to hide; he probably was absent from posting to make folks forget him or dismiss his lack of (apparent) action like one would do to a benign tumor.

How so?

The two people I suspected to be mafia were lynched. My initial vote for Bublé was really just a risky guess, but his further actions cemented my decision.

Maid

My line of work requires making very risky decisions, but the risk pays off. I have been really lucky in this game so far.

Maid

Why did you decide on not voting for anyone on Day 1, mr. Coleman?

Maid

Mr. Dixon has successfully convinced me to vote for Mr. Coleman. His day 1 absence got on my nerve, too.

Coleman, and whoever hasn't been on your mind so much. I want to know what you think here, I need to widen my focus.
I'll check out Coleman and Potter. I've barely noticed Potter, so I'll shed some light just to make sure my ignorance to him is justified.

The nice thing is that we know that no living players are defending teammates anymore as we pick apart our suspicions.

Buddy, would I really jump on the bandwagon on both Bublé and Puente? I voted for all the baddies that went down.

On day 1 lynch, I could have spared Bublé (the mafia godfather) and killed the 'Trane if I had changed my vote because, as you remember, Bublé got 4 votes (one of those was mine) while Coltrane got 3.

I could have tied the day 2 poll by picking Béla Fleck but I didn't. Instead, I chose to lynch Tito.

I'm either a civilian or an arrogant mafioso. A really, really dumb and arrogant mafioso

Maid

We are all confirmed civs on this blessed day.

I want to see more of Hiromi and Vince. C'mon folks, you're in the band too. I'm gonna start suspecting that one of you is knee-deep in sabotage gravy.

Maid

Can you please use your sockpuppet account?

Maid

Exactly. I'd rather lynch an inactive first, though...

Maid

Miles Davis wrote:Fleck, I do not believe that it is beyond your capabilities to post more and make spelling mistakes as a deliberate fake-out when you are bad. I mean... how gullible do you think we are?

On another note, I should say that I have been getting a bad feeling from Chris Potter. I looked to see where he voted, though, and he was second voter for Buble. So that's a bit lame, to suspect another Buble voter in addition to Fleck... but there it is.

Also, I love how Fleck says the baddies would never bus Buble, unless of course I'm doing it (the final fucking vote) in which case it's not only possible but probable. Right. Then we've got Chris Potter sensing a bandwagon or two brewing and ready to be one of the first to jump it without contributing any arguments as to why.
I believe Fleck and Holiday were the first ones to vote for Bublé, buddy. They're either town or just too goddamn dumb.
This just felt like a baddie who knows Fleck and Holiday are Civ, and was buddying them.

Brother, I'll throw my Selmer in the fire to prove I'm not scum. I'm civ and am after the bad guys. If I were mafia, why the hell would I vote for someone who's not engaged in the game at all? I'd go after the good guy who is 24/7 posting in this thread.

And Bill Dixon, goddamn it man, are you using Jive Speak Translate?

Maid

Shit, I meant to say "posted" instead of "voted". Sorry folks, that was a brown note.

Maid

Tito's absence is bothering me. The fact that our amigo is on the verge of being lynched and has only voted twice is bad.

However, if he's going to stay absent and not contribute to the discussion, I'd rather vote him out of the game. In this scenario, we wouldn't be in shambles if he were civ, and we'd get rid of a shady silent snake if he were a bad guy.

I think I'm voting Tito.

I think you and Holiday are both on the good side but hey, perhaps Bublé voted on you to make sure nobody would suspect your bluegrass ass.

Maid

I'm feeling that Mingus and Davis are baddies here, folks.

Vince Guaraldi wrote:Potter's vote for Buble is sketchy because it's not based on substance. Feed us some more notes, my friend. I need to hear you to understand you.

Hear, hear. I have to admit: having little tonal material to work with from the head start, I made a guess. Yes I did, and I'm not ashamed of it, because jazz is all about guessing. However, Bublé's defensive (and calm, really) behaviour after being voted on cemented my vision of him as someone who was essential to his team if they wanted to beat this game.

An innocent man would rather accuse someone else of being a baddie in order to save his own ass - or at least that's what I would have done. Our Sinatra impersonator, instead, decided to say "would be a real bad way to go, I tell ya".

Maid

Haven't you heard of a man called Pharoah Sanders, boy?

Maid

See? I told you that cat was out of tune. We don't need no tone clusters here unless we're paying Sanders a tribute. And I'm not talking about the guy from Vermont.

Maid

Well, well, well: I'm lynching you, Bublé, because you cannot sing with a band unless the sound guy runs your voice through auto-tune. Sinatra would twist in his grave if he could hear your impression of him!

Maid

Sorry for my absence so far, folks. Dave Holland has called me to join his quintet again and we've been trying to arrange all of his big band works for two saxophones, a vibraphone, double bass and drumkit. It ain't easy.
