[peacesells]

who mentioned worry?

[Nolder]

Vig would be gifted items.  Different every day. 

And this seems like the most likely situation to you?

[Talya]

Tina - valid they could be juzt put a few ideas dowm and they were the first to come to mind

I however,do not class myself as big game

 

Has no one bothered to read tje vampire game

 

Ithi, as you revealed you had an object you would be prime candidate for recruiting.

[dapianoplay3r]

I believe I played that game...

 

Also didnt ithi say she couldn't be recruited due to a prayer ATM?

[The Crusher]

I am not sure who to vote for, because no one really stands out as being scummy to me. Maybe that will change on Monday?

 

 

Let me restate what I meant. 

 

No one stands out above the rest as being more scummy than anyone else. 

 

 

Not even a little?   

 

vote vambram,

[The Crusher]

At the moment we have two possessed. just two. As we all started out as town, it's going to be difficult to narrow that down, with the number of players we have at this stage. I would say there is a main recruiter, the chances of getting him are very slim indeed. But instead of picking bones about how someone said something. Look at a person who is most likely to have been recruited at the end of the last hour. 

 

1. An inactive - someone here just enough to be seen so not totally out of it, but someone who hasn't been implicated.

2. Someone who claimed an item (yep Ithi). She claimed she had something before the end of the last hour. So another likely choice for a recruit. 

 

I doubt it would be someone who was on the top end of the suspect list. The mafia want to get their numbers up and keep them up as soon as they can. If we go for the Goons, then it might lead back to the boss. 

 

Rand was nearly lynched in the first hour, so the chances of him being recruited are slim (doesn't stop him being the recruiter I know). 

 

 

If we all started as town who converted those two players??

[dapianoplay3r]

DPR

Hopefully when he gets online we will see if he is voteable or not

[The Crusher]

It's really annoying when people answer questions posed to another - or explain their actions for them. How are you supposed to question and figure out what is going on when people keep butting in and muddling stuff up?

 

 

You know who likes to butt in and muddle stuff up don;t you?  

[The Crusher]

DPR

Hopefully when he gets online we will see if he is voteable or not

 

 

You doing a bastard mod check makes me feel like Im back at JN.  LOL   So awesome. So appreciative.

[dapianoplay3r]

I learn from past games. I think it was the spider game that we had to vote DPR

 

I take no chances this time. Plus if I'm wrong I lose nothing (unless DPR is feeling mean, and that is just pure bastard then)

[Basel Gill]

DPR

Hopefully when he gets online we will see if he is voteable or not

 

If we lynch the mod, who would run the rest of the game, then?

With 32 players, it takes 17 to lynch. With this group, it'll be a damned miracle if we even get close - the poor lynch rope is lonelier than that old, dusty bottle of Drambuie in the back of my liquor cabinet.  Come to think of it...

Um, I have two votes right?  Unless its right in which case I'm happier. :P

 

 

 

Let's analyze Rand's montstrous post that he's so proud of shall we?

 

1.  Admits that he sees what I am saying about telegraphing cases but says that he was worried about getting distracted in such a large game and therefore telegraphed his case to remind himself.  This doesn't hold water for me.  I usually don't reread my own posts.  Furthermore, if I wanted to remind myself of something, I wouldn't bury the reminder in the game thread where I might forget it but the mafia may very well see it.  Rand's explanation is implausible imo.

 

2.  Misinterprets Ape's vote on him to be for making an annoying quote block when clearly, the Ape was voting Rand for the content of the quote (as implied by Ape's expressed interest in anyone who may have followed his Ithi/Verbal lynch suggestions).

 

3.  Pokes fun at and dismisses another couple votes on him.  This seems odd to me.  Seems like he is trying to force a casual attitude towards votesd against him or he needs something to fill out his post.

 

4.  Agrees with my no lynch suggestion, albeit with somewhat convoluted reasoning (this is the only thing about this post I even remotely like).

 

5.  Launches into a bloviating treatise on grammar designed to criticize EP and defend Nolder.  This mammoth paragraph is needlessly verbose as well as incorrect.  Furthermore, he explicitly refuses to summarize it.  I could summarize his point in seven words:  EP sucks at grammar; Nolder didn't slip.  That wasn't so hard was it?  So why doesn't he do this?  Because he wants a mammoth post that looks impressive but says very little other than chastising EP and defending Nolder.  This is further supported by his apparent disappointment at the lack of comments on his post.

 

Rand has now overdefended both EP and Nolder as well as having tried to entangle the alignments of Hallia and Lily with that of Ithi.  Scumtastic.

 

unvote

Vote: Rand

 

 

For those of you wondering as to how exactly Rand's grammatical argument is incorrect, it is because EP's interpretation of Nolder's post was technically correct.  It is true that the suffix -ing can be used to turn a verb into a pure noun, but in this case, such an unambigious interpretation of Nolder's words would be iffy at best.  That is not to say that Nolder did not mean what Rand said he meant.  I don't recall Nolder having impeccable grammar and this is a very minor mistake, so I think to call it a slip is pretty silly.  That being said, it is equally absurd to say that EP's interpretation of Nolder's statement is grammatically incorrect.  In fact, out of context, EP's interpretation is much more likely than Rand's.  The verb "to recruit" already has a noun form ("recruitment") that Nolder could have used in his post without having to resort to the -ing suffix, thereby avoiding any possibility of his noun being interpreted as a gerund.  That being said, I think the context of the sentence makes it clear that Nolder meant for the phrase to be interpreted in the way that Rand interpreted it.  Still, claiming that EP's interpretation is grammatically incorrect is downright false and, in my opinion, qualifies as either overdefense of Nolder, or arrogant ignorance.

 

Also, I'm not sure why Rand says the word "recruiting" is not tied to any other verb or noun in the sentence, as with either Rand's interpretation or EP's interpretation, the word "recruiting" is the object of the verb "stop," but that's not particularly relevant to this game.

1. You're basing it off what you do, I do go back and look at my posts when making a case because I have a tendency to forget things, so it works for me.

 

2. Oh Ok, that's why, I honestly didn't know what that vote was for.

 

3. That was one vote...

 

4. The reasoning helps me think, that made me reach the same conclusion as you.

 

5. No, that was half criticizing EP and half practicing for my SAT because they ask questions like that. :P In all seriousness, I didn't want to do it in your short summarized way because then someone would have just told me either no, or explain why.  Guaranteed.  And please explain to me how it is incorrect.  Wait nevermind you go into it later.

 

Yes, I overdefended the confirmed town and corrected a grammar mistake.  So sorry.

 

And as for the grammar, I should have clarified that recruiting was connected to any noun or pronoun that implied possession.  And plus, even as a verb, "we can stop recruiting" does not imply possession of the recruiting by we.  Thats what I was pointing out was grammatically wrong.

 

I do recall not being a confirmed townie when you over defended me... you're logic is baaaaaad

 

UNVOTE VOTE RAND

 

literally just based on the bolded comment in green in the quote

You weren't at the time, but I ended up being right about you being town.  That's my point,.

 

 

 

Oh wait, right mafia tries to defend town as well, sorry I'm tired, my other one still stands though.

If you're confident in your stance, don't backpedal, which is what it seems like you did by having this additional statement

 

Vote Rand

 

No, I realized a flaw in what I was saying and corrected it so it wasn't stupid, its not really backpedaling, if you made the assumption a minute ago in the post directly above.

 

Vote Rand

 

You know what is easier than breadcrumbing your arguments through posts? A piece of paper near the pc.

 

Or, you know, word.exe

I lost the first notes I made, I tend to not use them anymore.

 

vote Vam

 

No way that everyone's about at the same level of scumminess.

[dapianoplay3r]

Right I need to sleep

I read the thread

Talya, Vam, Basel, are the people I recon might of got recruited last night.

Mainly cos they are playing slightly differently today compared to then

 

Talya is the main one though.

 

No time to do a case on it now but that's what I think

 

Also verb I thi might be the original recruiter if DPR isn't lynchable.

 

Hmm oh yea, I'd be ok with a no lynch vote or a Talya vote

[dapianoplay3r]

Stop quoting all that stuff to post on sentence, honestly, this is why it takes me so long to read the thread

 

Also what's the VC?

 

I'm also kinda ok with a Vam lynch but I'd rather get more info there. He's been pretty quiet so it's kinda more hunch on him than actual casing but I stand by it

[dapianoplay3r]

F*** it. I need sleep and I think the deadline is while I'm asleep again

Right now, Vam is sticking out more for his whole not being able to pick someone as scummy until he was pushed into it. Rand is right behind him for me with the over defense of EP. 

 

Vote Vam

Despo will step in for Ishy.

 

I know I said that replacements would not be utilized, but y'all need help and there is no one better to make you don't get it than Despo.

Okay, taking the pup and the wife downtown Boston to the SoWa market for some culture and stuff. See y'all later at some point.

 

 

Have fun Ape.  Eat something yummy and fattening.  

 

 

SoWa has come a long way in the 3 years since the last time I went. There is a whole section with just food trucks... in order, I ate:

 

a grilled haddock fish taco

a pulled pork sandwich

a plate of chicken and rice (sounds boring, tastes epic)

a fresh baked chocolate chunk cookie ice cream sandwich made to order

 

whoa.

 

Do people your age still use the word Epic?  

 

 

Should people your age be funnier?

[_CLOUD]

Yes but the game was called Jaws mafia so obviously there was going to be a shark in it... which is why we had harpoons. Everything we've seen has pointed to only town vs mafia in this game so you argueing otherwise is a distraction

 

I also think it's only town vs mafia. 

 

He also clearly stated recently that he would not be a bastard mod.

 

True. 

 

I'd like to point out what others already pointed out as further counter arguement to your theory Nolder. We all started the game as town per the scene.

 

Also this. 

 

peace what mechanic then if not a recruiter?

 

I already made a post about this at the start of 09:00. I think DPR is using random.org to recruit townies to maifa; there were no Possesed during 08:00 as was indicated with the scene were all 33 investigators turned up to be human (town); a townie killed Turin; DPR probably has a system in place that stops recruiting when he reaches a certain % or the town is able to stop the recruiting in the form of items.

 

 

Tina - valid they could be juzt put a few ideas dowm and they were the first to come to mind

I however,do not class myself as big game

Ithi's prayers also protect herself.
