Sorry, my mouse double clicks a lot. I love these logitech thumball mice, but I wear them out quickly, which sucks because they're expensive. I may have to go back to just a regular mouse, because I replaced this one last year, and ~$50 a year on mice is absurd.

[Gentled Ben]

Thumball, trackball, whatever they are. They just sit there in one place all ergonomic and comfortable in your hand while you move the curser by rolling a big ball with your thumb. I am hooked on them, but I destroy them like sandcastles.

*facepalm*

 

Clov quit the game because it was too stupid. 

 

Ima try to pull it out, but damn...

Is that what he said?

 

 

 

No, that is my interpretation. His people have not released an official statement. 

 

Gotcha. Thanks

So calling him Thor is confusing, or didn't you get that from the initial question?

[Gentled Ben]

In the books, when he is referred to by his last name, they always say "al'Thor." No one calls him Thor. Thor is, as DPR pointed out, a Norse god. It's hard enough with people calling Iron Eyes "Marsh" without calling Rand "Thor," but now that I know who you mean, it's no biggie. Call him that if you want.

LOL. Good times.

[Shitsure Kamimashita]

From context and the only player who has "thor" in his name I don't think it is confusing.

I might have figured it out if it wasn't for the Marsh thing already. Like I said, no biggie.

You mean Ironeyes? His screen name or RandA lThors screen name?

 

I don't get it.

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

Y'all have better things to discuss. Just sayin'.

We can't have nice things because we mislynch and shoot them.

No. Sooh brought that on herself. 

 

Everything else you're doing is wrong, but not that one. 

[Gentled Ben]

Don't you mean "We," or is that a slip up from Team Wolf?

[DPR]

Nope. I meant you. I can't be held responsible for your terrible instincts. 

[DPR]

I tend to snark on people one at a time. 

[Gentled Ben]

I'm not the one who switched to her there, sharpshooter.

You don't multi-snark like Nyn?

Self preservation amigo. I know I'm town.

Nah. She's in a class by herself. 

[Shitsure Kamimashita]

@dpr what did you think of my post? Before I type up the next one.

I think you should use your peripheral vision, so to speak.

 

Or, others should worry that you're spending so much time on this one point since there are others to focus on and I'm about to be resolved.  

[RandA lThor]

Sorry, apparently my work actually requires me to do things from time to time.

 

 

 

 

I was on page 26 gathering posts from dpr. I am less sure of my read on rand, but I still inclined say town it was my first instinct and it has served me well. Dpr feels towny through and through in my opinion. Just the whole stubborn tunnel and not caring about dying. It just rings town to me. I have a couple posts from dpr now I am going to get one more and then post my thoughts on them and rand. It is incredibly tedious to look for players posts :/

 

 

ISO'ing is easy. Eld can help with that, but tl;dr, click on a players profile, go to posts only, then ride the lightning. 

 

Thanks, I found it!! we can def still win. I am only worried about verb, he hasn't appeared in some time. Clovdyx slot still doesn't appeal to me. And am eyeing Ironeyes in some type of way maybe it was a learning experience to switch to sooh.

 

 

 

We're set up to wake tomorrow with 7 player and 3 scum - I'll nail 1 scum tonight, so that will buy us some time. But you guys can't f*** around anymore. Time to get down. 

 

Thought you were soft claiming right before this and you went and hard claimed.  Welp, at the very least I can say that if you weren't mafia, I would've thought you were the vig with all the bravado and surity you had this game, along with that god damn reaction.  Idk why you hard claimed though... like just shoot and be quiet right?  Because now mafia will just kill you.  Though actually nvm, that was a really good move.  If you don't claim, and then try to claim the shot after and mafia counter claims you, I'd probably believe them over you, this is the only way you clear yourself to me.  I'm going to assume you're not mafia fake claiming because the real vig could easily counter if so.

 

Marsh. Bubby. Time to die.

:| I'm happy you realized that I wasn't mafia, but man, I was hoping you'd at least go with Nyn out of your reads, I like Marsh.  For our sake I hope you're right, because its literally gg if you're wrong.

 

 

I'm not going to quote the entire blue / green monstrosity, so here's this part:

 

I said: The problem is, you've just returned from a break - tight? How long have you been away? Been awhile, right? So, forgetting things would be fine, but you seem to have an amazing memory when it comes to things like Verb's play style, which you've commented on several times as being "normal". How do you remember Verb's "normal" play style, but you forgot the rule about swearing on a PG-13 site? 

 

Nervous chatter is what it sounds like. Trying to fit in when you're rusty.

 

Rand replied:3ish years iirc, but here's the thing, I didn't forget the rule.  You keep saying that I forgot the rule, which is honestly starting to look like purposeful misdirection on your part.  Here's the direct quote of what I said.

 

"Hehe I know, but I forgot what this sub's rules on swearing was and too much time on Reddit has made me loosen up, so I'm remaining ultra conservative for now :P"

 

I remembered that there was a rule on swearing, I just didn't remember what the extent of the rule was.  Its much easier to remember someone's personality who you interacted with for years, then the extent of a rule that you previously didn't have to worry about as much as I do now, just because I didn't even swear that much then.

 

***

So, I bolded the part where Rand tells me that I'm "purposefully misdirecting" his statement about forgetting the rule. Then he posts his quote I got it from where he clearly states that he forgot the rule?

 

Regardless, I thought it was weird because he's an example of why that rule exists - I think he was 14 the last time I was in a game with him, and I don't remember him being na especially hardcore rebel back then... so I don't think he forgot. 

 

I also don't buy that does remember Verb's personality. Verb has changed his game over the years, just like everybody else, so not sure how this is possible after a 3 year break. 

 

Last, I know that several players - including myself - returned and took a minute to get used to how the game has evolved. I found it odd that this didn't happen to him.

 

That's it. Verdict is still out on most everybody else as it's too early to connect dots and such. If I had to pick 1 for scum right now, it'd be Rand. 

 

Like I replied to Clov - Rand's tone seems nervous to me. 

 

@dpr:

Originally I had 4/5 posts of yours, but I am just going to use two this one and obviously another one. The issue to me seems to be relationships. The relationship of Thor to players and this site. Thor says he forgot about the rule, but you dpr say that he also remembered things about specific players. I don't see how his memory makes him a candidate for scum. Let's say you're right though to use the analogy that it is impossible to forget to put the brakes on the car when you start it, so you should not be able to remember how to drive it. Not to say that you forgot you had to put the brakes maybe just that it wasn't on your mind you had more important things on your mind i.e. Catching scum. I didn't even know about the rule that you could not swear. Who reads the ToS of a site? Like ever? Maybe you heard about it from friends in a thread that you can't swear, but why not take it at face value? Rand doesn't seem nervous to me maybe more leaning cautious that he doesn't want to lose or break a rule.

 

What is the most common punishment for swearing?

 

Finally he seems nervous in what way? That he will be caught swearing? That only makes him self concious of swearing. It is not relevant to his alignment. Nor does it indicate his alignment. You never actually point out how exactly he is nervous. Was it not him that said he was going to be cautious and not swear? He 1 realized he is a different person and posts differently now 2 remembered that their is a rule about swearing so chose to address it. It seems like a non point to me tbh.

 

@Rand initially I thought you had said you forgot the rule as well. I don't think dpr is misrepresenting you at all. I can understand why he thought that as that was how it read to me.

 

Him initially forgetting it wasn't the problem, it was that he kept forgetting it.  Regardless, that's much more irrelevant in light of greater claims now.

 

From context and the only player who has "thor" in his name I don't think it is confusing.

Bruh, I gotta admit, even I was confused and had no idea who you meant by Thor :P I don't think anyone has called me that before.

 

This is why we can't have nice things.

 

Y'all have better things to discuss. Just sayin'. 

 

Wait this so much.  How is no one discussing the implications of DPR revealing as the last vig?  At this point we should be moving under the assumption of Marsh being scum (if he's not its all pointless unless mafia tries the no kill strategy this round, which I swear, will work wonders and miracles) and figuring what our next steps are going to be.  Most likely DPR will end up dead as well, so that's going to leave us with 2 scum among myself/Ben/Nyn/SK/BFG.  Of those, I think Nyn is the scummiest, with the rest at varying levels of town reads before this.

 

DPR, since we're moving forward with the assumption that you're the vig because even I don't think you're that dumb to fake claim, can you give us your list of reads?  At the very least we can be sure that it came from a non biased source.

[RandA lThor]

Nynaeve I feel its slightly concerning that you haven't posted for more than 10 hours after you said you had woken up, even though you said you were going to fall asleep after that.  I'd expect that sometime in the next 10 hours you'd wake up and check the thread, and at least put up some thoughts.
