zsand,way to wast a vote... ILM wont be back, he doesn't seem to like this game. Can we just not have him in these anymore?

And do you have reasons?
 
I have noticed that neither kash or Wiz responded to the comments made about their discussion being staged. Unless i missed it but I tried to read everything.

I am more than willing to let FF slide for now and not discuss him. He has been much quieter which could be directions from a teammate or he could be forcing himself.

For the rest seems a normal if talkative day one. Right now I am not sure what I will do. If I had to vote right now I would go with Wiz.
With a little fire under his feet, Wiz sure disappeared quick.


GAME ON!

Nightfall is Friday at 7 PM central time
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: NIGHTFALL WILL BE TOMORROW AT 10PM CENTRAL INSTEAD of 9PM!
Good thing nightfall's not at 9 anymore...based on your earlier post, I had it at 7...;)


I did not get the "Scum until proven otherwise. Has fooled me before."? Even Ogre has fooled you before?

Here is what I get: "I have the eebie jeebies with him for some reason."

WTF is that? eebie jeebies? You have nothing on charlie, who in my opinion reeks of eebie jeebies (or poutine). :cool: I am sure charlie fooled you at least once.

While your day one list is amusing, it is pretty much fluff and filler. I still can't believe Ogre ever fooled you. Maybe you can give an example.
And anything that isn't generic filler seems to be echoing the sentiments of others.


I'm on record in previous games as not being very involved in day 1 antics. i think in general day 1 is a crap shoot where the scum always win. the odds are overwhelmingly in their favor. as townies we essentially have a random chance to pick scum for our votes, the is no reliable data to use.

with that said I've got a tin foil theory that puts someone on a potentially communicating team. and no I'm
not sharing at this time.

And you think that participating on D1 actually worsens the chances of lynching scum?
 
You'll need to go back and read more thoroughly, after admittedly skimming. It was actually me who noticed that FF was invisible this game... JL noticed that he then became visible.

----------


I understand this strategy, JB, but here's the problem as I see it....If everyone sits back on D1 and just watches everyone else, then nothing happens, period.

----------


Here's the thing, FF, there's nothing scummy about being invisible. What's peculiar is that you've been 'anti-invisibility' for awhile now, so that you'd now be invisible is a bit of a disconnect.

As far as you claiming to be invisible for the past 3 games, you haven't. In digging through the past threads, you learned to go invisible for 67, so were probably invisible then. You modded 68, and tried to ban invisibility until people threatened to not play. In 69 (last game) I remembered you being visible from this interaction with JL:





A couple of things actually bother me about this exchange...

1. You said that you were invisible last game, and the exchange would seem to say otherwise.

2. JL is kicking you pretty hard for doing the same thing that he did last game, as town...going from invisible to visible mid-game.

FF/JL, thoughts about this exchange from last game?

----------



It wasn't BKW, either...it was Hooked Newbie.
I guess I assumed it was JL to start it because he mentioned it several times, as often as FF had switched.

You'll have to explain this comment, HN. I haven't mod-edited ANYTHING in this thread and don't appreciate being falsely accused of something like that.

:thumbsdown:

For that matter, even if I wanted to edit something in this thread or the General Chit Chat forum........ I can't. I don't have those permissions in this section, I'm not even able to sticky mafia threads because they're in the GCC. Look at the forum listing then scroll down to the bottom and you'll see which mods are assigned to this section. I'm not one of them. My public areas as a mod are the freshwater forums, classifieds, and the chat room.

Kash, I believe HN was talking about when you edited the post to fix the youtube link for G (I believe it was G).
 
I'm going to go with my initial suspicion on Wiz because I see nothing today that strikes any warning signs... I have to go finish dusting, vacuum, and then finish some work that I didn't get to during the day today because my job is completely hectic these days.

I vote to lynch Wiz.... I don't think I've seen much of Wiz since last night... but who knows, I guess reef, job... whatever.

I didn't address that because I didn't put a lot of stock in those impressions, Rich. And I still don't see why Wizard's exchange with me seemed particularly noteworthy to anyone, considering the way he was posting the same way with others too around the same time.

I didn't choose to get caught up in it with him because of that... or with those who read our posts differently than I do and made those comments later (that it seemed staged to them).

Then he was mistaken, DD. Thanks for figuring that out.

I didn't edit Lady G's post. I quoted her post and fixed the youtube tags in the quoted text portion so the video would show up. Then told everyone I'd fixed it. Other members do that too, as it's got nothing to do with mod permissions.
 
Hooked Newbie has made two posts. Here's his first.

Good morning all! You coffee people really irritate me. Pick whatever drink you like and shut up about it. Show me a comission check and you can continue cheering on your favorite.



I vote to lynch the wizard. Calling a "slip" already.

HN tucked himself right behind Ogre to get an early and convenient vote on the board. I could understand Ogre's reaction to Wizard at the time Ogre voted him... Wizard seemed to jump all over me shortly afterward and I was tempted to vote him for it myself. I decided to hold off on that, however, because of the way he and JL got into it last game... deciding at that time it probably didn't mean either of them were evil. And they both turned out to be townies who were butting heads with each other more than anything else.

While I'm presently undecided still about Wizard's play this early, I've also seen him post aggressively (and being kind of obnoxious about it) before... I mostly attribute that now to him still being a little fired up after our last game, along with some increased confidence he's picked up as a player.

I'm still not sure about FF either, which is why I'm waiting to see more from both of them before making a call in either regard.

HN on the otherhand, jumped right in with what seems to me as an opportunistic place to drop his vote. My impression of HN's play (so far) is he'd likely have voted anyone else who might have been stepping on toes at the time because that gives him a ready defense built-in to justify it later.

Now, on to HN's second post.

OMG. I swear the posting has gotten even worse! I'm pretty well caught up, but sheesh! Any way, here are my current thoughts after reading through. I would quote everything that I'm referring to, but I don't have that kind of free time.


Zaffy- need to see more thoughts relative to the game.
Dangerdoll- Scum until proven otherwise. Has fooled me before.
Firedancer- Scum until proven otherwise. Has fooled me before.
Noodles- Expected more posts.
Madcrawdad- Scum until proven otherwise. Has fooled me before.
Fishfriend- Self-proclaimed moron... nuff said. j/k!
Lady G- She always seems evil to me. I'm not sure that I remember her being helpful (or coherent) in the past. ;)
Charlie_stubbs- Nothing really.
Jbradt- Seems kinda wishy washy so far. Nothing solid to me though.
Lab_rat- Seems to like most theories that have been floated. Don't care what it is unless it implicates you or your buddies?
ZSandmann- HOOT theory... I can't believe that it not only didn't get called out, but a couple seem to place enough stock into it to go with it. They look scummier than Z right now, but I have to believe that the "theory" was floated for observation. See Lab_rat.
Rich- need to see more thoughts relative to the game.
Johnlarson- I have the eebie jeebies with him for some reason.
Hooked Newbie- Gives bad vibes. News flash.
I Love Mollies- I get the idea that he UDs?
Rbishop- Can never tell.
Kashta- Very helpful, which always worries me. Also, I though mod-editting wasn't allowed. Has that changed?
The Wizard- Called a "slip" on page one. Enough for a day one vote for now. I didn't follow anyone.
The Red Severum- No clue. They playing?
Dirtydawg- Scum until proven otherwise. Has fooled me before.
Ogre- Scum until proven otherwise. Has fooled me before.


I'll try to keep up today, but we have a boat load of fish coming in and a ton to do.

HN says I'm being "helpful" while most everyone else he labels scummy. Perhaps he should try actually being helpful, himself, at some point rather than following along and blending in so much. Neither his vote nor his player run down rate very high for content or value.

I vote to lynch Hooked Newbie.
 
zsand,way to wast a vote... ILM wont be back, he doesn't seem to like this game. Can we just not have him in these anymore?

I'm all for that thought, FF...but only if you get pulled into the Vortex with him...to never return.
 
With a little fire under his feet, Wiz sure disappeared quick.




Good thing nightfall's not at 9 anymore...based on your earlier post, I had it at 7...;)

I didn't disappear because of a little heat under my feet. With several tanks up and running water changes are almost a daily occurrence. I care enough about the tanks to try to take care of them right.

And yes the reef consumes a lot of my time. It is my first salt water experience and only 12 gal. therefore the water needs to be watched closely.
