In fact. unvote and vote AJ

 

I'm digging this lynch more then X :)

AJ beat the snot out of you in the back & forth you guys had. X is the proper lynch today - his coroner has the best chance to blow the game open.

[Sedai]

My impression was that AJ was saying that X did some archetypically "scummy" things and then got run up, so he thought him likely to be derptown. That's a valid viewpoint imo. Of course, it could easily be wrong (X could be derpscum), and it's also one that scum like to take as Ishy pointed out.

 

I found your reaction to X's wagon to be more suspicious than AJ's.

Gross.

 

 

 

unvote

Vote: Xthrax

 

He's been a bit scummy with his whyme fryme attitude, and I don't like how Jack is trying to distance from him while voting AJ.

Can't wait to see X's coroner now!

 

 

Me neither.

[Sedai]

Was it the fact that I voted him third or fourth for squirming?

I already did.  I think you're distancing from him.  You keep saying he's scummy but it looks a lot like you don't want him lynched.

Sorry I was sleeping :)

With 12 alive it takes 7 to lynch

 

Deadline: None

Guess the fact I put him at L-2 meant I secretly didn't want him lynched lolz

[Sedai]

Andrej deserves my vote more

 

1. He votes X with no reason and before he started squirming

 

2. X's train picked up speed, and AJ looked for the first opportunity to jump off

 

3. AJ makes a contradictory situation with his views on voting and his initial reaction

 

4. AJ wonders what's the rush we don't have a deadline

 

He gets my vote.

[Xthrax]

I have stated my case. I once again state that I am indeed Vanilla Town. If my case is not taken into consideration, then well that's that. If you see my case, you'll see that I gave my reasons for what I did. Mine may not have been the most pro-town behaviour but there were reasons and I stand by it. If my lynch will occur it will help town. 

 

Do take note of who were on my wagon in case of a lynch though. There would be scum but not all. Others will be in the opposite train.

 

And VOTE LILY

 

 

 

unvote
Vote: Xthrax

He's been a bit scummy with his whyme fryme attitude, and I don't like how Jack is trying to distance from him while voting AJ.

Me neither.

 

 

Hope y'all see closely. Its gonna be Vanilla Town. 

[LilyElizabeth]

I'm liking the X lynch, but I am curious about AJ as well. I could vote there, also.

 

Des, what is all this about me and Jack, me and Jack? My play should be different because he's here? FOS for all that.

 

Lee, thanks for letting me know that because I play focused it comes off as scummy. I'll try to avoid that in the future.

 

I had a busy day yesterday, which is one reason there weren't a lot of posts. I'll see if I can step it up today and at least have more content. 

[hazelkrs1]

All this vote hopping is gonna make for some REAL nice info to pore through later in the game

 

 

Will respond in detail later on at work. X is still the best lynch by far. I like that he at least got some reads out, and some of them seemed believable, but he has too much against him still and like Verb said his flip can potentially blow this game wide open.

I love how you take no personal stance and play very non committal. It has been noted

 

Also Potentially, like your already moving past that lynch and where your gunna try and lead the vote to next.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm the only vote hopper? So before you quote and put in a massive wall of text, let's get it cleared up. Nice and succinct

 

1. I joke voted Womby, and I always start the game voting #11

 

2. I voted X putting him at L-2

 

3. Switched to AJ as I think he is teh scum

 

4. Switched back to X to express and reaffirm my willingness to go there

 

5. Then back to AJ, as I think he is teh scum

 

Wombat also said the same thing. That you said verb said.

[Andrej]

Back from the beach!

 

@ AJ: k fair enough you want me to use exact quotes.... here you go again... i find this contradictory statements.... u believe getting to L2 within 24 hours is a bad sign then you use it against lily when she does the same?

 

Okay, let me try to make this more clear for you. FTR, someone getting speed lynched 24 hours into in ANY game should give you pause. Normally somebody getting run up very easily with little resistance is a bad sign. So yes, the way that X was picking up votes left and right made me pretty wary. Were they warranted? Sure, his reaction to Despo and others did come across as rather defensive and badly explained but I think this is more a case of him being newbtown than newbscum and makes him an easy target to vote for. The issue I have with Lily is separate than my personal opinion on speed lynches. You have to think of the motive behind her post.

 

As town your job is to find scum and kill scum. Correct? Most townies only power for doing so is their vote. I feel that if Lily thought her scum read on X was legit then putting him at L-1 shouldn't have given her pause. Like at all. Why hesitate to vote someone you think is scum, even if it puts them in hammering range? As I've already explained, if he got ninja hammered that person HAMMERING would've had some explaining to do. To me her action towards the lynch and staying off under the guise of "I wanna hear what else he has to say" comes across that she already knows he was going to flip town. Add in now that his wagon has lessened some, she comes in to add her vote finally while reinforcing the link to me and X without commenting on anything else. If she was holding her vote in the first place to hear him claim, well he has. Did she believe it? Does she think he's lying? What?

 

 

Actually, he was already at L-2 but that doesn't really matter. Putting him at L-1 still gives him time to reveal, and whoever speed hammers prior to him being able to is obviously going to take a serious lashing for it.

 
Prob with this is that it could have also been someone that accidentally ninjahammered, or derptown not realizing he was at L-1 or something... I don't think hesitating to put someone at L-1 early in a game is really that scummy at all, and apparently you don't either according to your reasoning about speedlynches. I like your gusto with the matter, just don't agree with the reasoning you show here.
 

I'll be gone for 6 hours from now. I'll have extra classes followed by a trip out, so I don't think I'll  be here if I am at L-1 or L-2. So-
 
Claim:Vanilla Town

 
So this is one of the two things giving me slight pause in my read on X: Claiming vanilla at L-2 or w/e isn't a great way to clear heat off of yourself as scum. Tbh tho my thinking is that scum are more resigned to giving X up now, so didn't let him doc claim or anything, and are instead trying to link him and AJ as much as possible to try and get a mislynch coupled with their teammate's.
 

I agree that AJ swooping in to save X is scummy, but I want to know what he was trying to protect. 
 
Unvote
Vote X

 
^^^ And this helps support that theory. Lily doesn't respond to anything AJ brought up about her even tho she has no problem strengthening the link between the two, and she also doesn't mention ANY of X's recent posts and how they appeared to her, nor does she comment on anything else at all really. Her lack of gameplay so far worries me considering Jack is in the game.
 

I am happy with lynching either. X or Andrej

Just let me know. Ill hammer X or keep my vote where is

 
Funny how you're now volunteering to hammer X after earlier establishing in the thread how the hammer is less likely to be a scum vote and less likely to be analyzed.
 

 

First bold: I get what you're saying about someone derping and hammering on accident, but still, that'd be on them for not paying attention lol

My issue is this: If Lily thought X was legitimately a good shot for being scum, putting him at L-1 would've been the right thing to do.

 

2nd: Claiming VT is basically a death wish for scum IMO. Your 2nd sentence is plausible though, I guess we'll see eventually.

 

The last two quotes and responses I can agree with. The last one is amusing as well lol

 

I didn't see the space before posting :) sorry

I do agree that i made a commitment to this game and I promise that I will post more.The internet crashing was a technical reason.

 

I think that both of you are scum as there are instances when people can team up and and work against the townies. Even if one of them die the other is still alive to work against townies. Arguing can be a way to hide this. People may never know.

I am also open on voting Lily as when she stepped of Xthrax's train saying that she wanted to hear what Xthrax wanted to say. AJ then questioned her and after Xthrax made his claim she wanted to vote Xthrax saying that she wanted to hear what AJ was trying to protect.

 

Hold up, lol.

 

So you think Des and X are scum but you're going to vote Lily instead who is now voting your other scum read?

 

AJ contradicted himself.

He believes you acted scummy. Yet unvotes you and votes Lily for leaving you at L-2, even though she stated she thought you were acting suspicious.

"IF" I'm remembering correctly (I say if cause I'm on dm mobile and can't check for positive)

He (AJ) then goes on about waiting for a deadline but also flipping on the same issue.

 

I think you should probably ISO my posts. I joined the X wagon immediately after Des started it. I didn't state any reasons at the time, but mostly is was to reinforce the pressure on X that Des was already applying. Despo's early response to me when I asked if he was set-up spec'ing (something he is very against) felt very townie so I threw my vote down with him early on to see what stirred up. I also make a statement to X later on that him asking the book's title wasn't the reason he was getting my vote. I think it was pretty clear that I was inferring to how he was reacting to the attention, but apparently not. X's reactions certainly made him look guilty, I'm not denying that. The thing that gives me pause is the speed in which his wagon took off and how Lily seemed to want to avoid it although calling him scummy (which could indicate she is aware of his alignment)

 

 

Damn Jack, can Wom make you balance a ball on your nose too?

Lol I said I was happy either which way. And I stand by that statement. Both have knotted their
own nooses

 

We'll see about that

 

My impression was that AJ was saying that X did some archetypically "scummy" things and then got run up, so he thought him likely to be derptown.  That's a valid viewpoint imo.  Of course, it could easily be wrong (X could be derpscum), and it's also one that scum like to take as Ishy pointed out.

 

I found your reaction to X's wagon to be more suspicious than AJ's.

 

Womby gets it.

 

Andrej deserves my vote more

1. He votes X with no reason and before he started squirming

2. X's train picked up speed, and AJ looked for the first opportunity to jump off

3. AJ makes a contradictory situation with his views on voting and his initial reaction

4. AJ wonders what's the rush we don't have a deadline

He gets my vote.

 

1. No reason at the time, sure. ISO my posts and you'll probably get it. I also explained a bit more in one of the above posts.

2. If I wanted to jump off the X wagon so badly there were 3 others that voted him after me that I could've went after first. I found Lily's avoidance under a 'pro-town' guise while also calling him scummy to be more suspect.

3. You're gonna have to explain this one to me, plz.

4. You're taking this DL statement I made way out of proportion dude. I never said we need to wait for the last second, I just said there was no need to lynch 6 pages into the game.

@aj you voted before any pressure.

[Andrej]

Alright, so quick reads cause I need to catch-up in my other game and then get busy with my homework.

 

I'm leaning town pretty strongly on Des, Wombat and Leelou.

 

Verb and Ishy would be to a lesser extent. I was actually a little surprised when he joined the X wagon but meh. Not sure what the blow up was last night, but Ishy's vote on me feels like it comes from a legit town POV.

 

I almost want to lean town on Jack too. His linking was pretty bad but I think in general he is being observant and has pointed out a few things that I happened to agree with early on. That said, Des/Wombat's theory could hold some water if X actually does turn up as scum.

 

I would put Quibby and Err as both null. Quib's vote on Lily feels a little strange to me, he basically just calls it a pressure vote and it gives me the vibe he wants to be able to retract it later.

 

I've made my point on Lily and she has kind of reinforced it on her own but if I am wrong I think Zenube wouldn't be a bad place to look next. Her statement about the Des/X gambit but voting for Lily instead doesn't really make sense to me.

[Andrej]

@aj you voted before any pressure.

 

Lol my vote was the pressure, brah

[Sedai]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The OP seems awesome, though don't know if I'll be able to find a book. Is it called Call of Cthulhu? I'll mostly read about it online.

 

 

So I say not to use the C word and Xthrax comes out and uses it a few posts later anyways. Obvscum.

 

Vote Xthrax

You'd vote a guy just trying to find good reading literature?

Reaction tes FAILED. Looks like you're scum after all.

 

Xthrax train is a GO.

Nope, there's a red flag. The train is flagged down

Hahaahhahahaha-NO.

 

Attempt to force casual response after being caught with defensive one denied. You are teh scum.

 

Feel like spewing your teammates just for the heck of it?

You voted two posts later after this joking back and forth. Before X squirmed.

[Sedai]

 

 

@aj you voted before any pressure.

Lol my vote was the pressure, brah

.

 

Second vote with no reasoning isn't pressure. Lolz. No more then an over weight lap dog is a wolf.

[Andrej]

My vote caused the squirming lol

 

Okay, seriously though. Let's mindmeld for a second here. Let's say that by your theory that X and I really are scum. What do you think my motive would be in voting him early on like that? Distancing, I presume. But why? As you said, I voted him BEFORE he started to squirm and make himself look bad so what would I really need to distance from? Wouldn't I be better served to avoid my scumbud early on instead of creating an action that could link us together later on?

 

Plz explain how my vote on his wagon is congruent with your theory that we are now scumbuds. I understand your theory in regards to me leaving his wagon to start a new one, that's plausible to a certain extent but I want you to look at my actions as a whole and see if it still fits.

At two votes that doesn't constitute a wagon.

 

Lol, lovely Wifom you just presented. One that in history I've been playing has mostly been used as a scum wifom.

 

Here's the scenario for scum

 

You jokingly place a vote on X, not knowing he's gunna freak out. Which didn't really start until the third vote. So what do you do? Do you take away your vote then? No cause that is to suspicious so you leave it there and hope the train dissipates. However it doesn't. So instead of insisting on lynching someone you think is scummy you jump off at the first opportunity, using logic to do so, I may add, that you could flip and use to vote yourself. At that time taking him from L-2 to L-3 a safe place to be. And now if he's lynched and if he flips, you can quote the vote post and say you voted to throw him off the scent.

 

Either way. After today's lynch and whatever happens at night I'll have a much clearer picture as to who's who.

[Andrej]

I really just wanted to see how far you'd stretch to continue pushing the angle we are scum/scum.

 

[Andrej]

unvote vote X

 

L-1 on the claimed VT, I feel comfortable at this point securing a lynch for a coroner in order to progress.

 

Hammer away Jack.

With 12 alive it takes 7 to lynch

THAT'S A LYNCH

 

"I'm sorry to have to ask you to stay on the surface," Harley Warren said, "but it would be a crime to let anyone with your frail nerves go down there. You can't imagine, even from what you have read and from what I've told you, the things I shall have to see and do. It's fiendish work, Carter, and I doubt if any man without ironclad sensibilities could ever see it through and come up alive and sane. I don't wish to offend you, and Heaven knows I'd be glad enough to have you with me; but the responsibility is in a certain sense mine, and I couldn't drag a bundle of nerves like you down to probable death or madness. I tell you, you can't imagine what the thing is really like! But I promise to keep you informed over the telephone of every move--you see I've enough wire here to reach to the center of the earth and back!"

 

 

Harley Warren descended into the darkness of the open tomb, leaving his protege Randolph Carter behind. Carter constantly consulted his watch by the light of his electric lantern, and listened with feverish anxiety at the receiver of the telephone; but for more than a quarter of an hour heard nothing. Then a faint clicking came from the instrument, and Carter called down to his friend in a tense voice. Apprehensive as he was, he was nevertheless unprepared for the words which came up from that uncanny vault. He who had so calmly left Carter a little while previously, now called from below in a shaky whisper more portentous than the loudest shriek:

 

"God! If you could see what I am seeing!"

 

Speechless, Carter could only wait. Then came the frenzied tones again:

 

"Carter, it's terrible--monstrous--unbelievable!"

 

This time Carter's voice did not fail him, and he poured into the transmitter a flood of excited questions. Terrified, he continued to repeat, "Warren, what is it? What is it?"

 

Once more came the voice of his friend, still hoarse with fear, and now apparently tinged with despair:

 

"I can't tell you, Carter! It's too utterly beyond thought--I dare not tell you--no man could know it and live--Great God! I never dreamed of this!"

 

Stillness again, save for Carter's now incoherent torrent of shuddering inquiry. Then the voice of Warren in a pitch of wilder consternation:

 

"Carter! for the love of God, put back the slab and get out of this if you can! Quick!--leave everything else and make for the outside--it's your only chance! Do as I say, and don't ask me to explain!"

 

Carter heard, yet was able only to repeat his frantic questions. Around him were the tombs and the darkness and the shadows; below him, some peril beyond the radius of the human imagination. More clicking, and after a pause a piteous cry from Warren:

 

"Beat it! For God's sake, put back the slab and beat it, Carter!"

 

Something in the boyish slang of Carter's evidently stricken companion unleashed his faculties. "Warren, brace up! I'm coming down!" 

 

"Don't! You can't understand! It's too late--and my own fault. Put back the slab and run--there's nothing else you or anyone can do now!"

 

The tone changed again, this time acquiring a softer quality, as of hopeless resignation. Yet it remained tense through anxiety for me.

 

"Quick--before it's too late!"

 

I tried not to heed him; tried to break through the paralysis which held me, and to fulfil my vow to rush down to his aid. But his next whisper found me still held inert in the chains of stark horror.

 

"Carter--hurry! It's no use--you must go--better one than two--the slab--"

 

A pause, more clicking, then the faint voice of Warren:

 

"Nearly over now--don't make it harder--cover up those damned steps and run for your life--you're losing time--so long, Carter--won't see you again."

 

Here Warren's whisper swelled into a cry; a cry that gradually rose to a shriek fraught with all the horror of the ages--

 

"Curse these hellish things--legions--My God! Beat it! Beat it! BEAT IT!"

 

After that was silence. Carter knew not how many interminable eons he sat stupefied; whispering, muttering, calling, screaming into that telephone. Over and over again through those eons he whispered and muttered, called, shouted, and screamed, "Warren! Warren! Answer me--are you there?"

 

And then there came to him the crowning horror of all--the unbelievable, unthinkable, almost unmentionable thing. Again he called down, "Warren, are you there?" and in answer heard the thing. The voice was deep; hollow; gelatinous; remote; unearthly; inhuman; disembodied, indescribable. Carter heard it as he sat petrified in that unknown cemetery in the hollow, amidst the crumbling stones and the falling tombs, the rank vegetation and the miasmal vapors-- heard it well up from the innermost depths of that damnable open sepulcher as he watched amorphous, necrophagous shadows dance beneath an accursed waning moon.

 

And this is what it said:

 

"You fool, Warren is DEAD!"

 

 

Xthrax, who was Harley Warren, Vanilla Town, has been lynched!
