The VERY next post 181, was by HH starting the whole PM thing....

Erm? Omgus much. How is copy and pasting the PM mad sent you (innocent PM) and posting it in here randomly NOT screaming innocence?

I really think s/he was trying to redirect attention

Most scummy (in order of most likely scum to less likely)
Hammerhead 991 - obvious scum
Doomsday998 - Very lame reason for voting for C-note. Not getting good vibes from them at all.
HI IQ - Backed HH's craziness against Chup, was this intentional backing of a teammate or was HI IQ confused?
BadHaggis - Flimsy reason to place a 4th vote on Nem to put Nem well in the lead for the lynch at the time BH placed their vote.

Could go either way
C-note - Can't get a good read on them, at times they strike me as pro-town, other times they strike me as scummy
Driver8 - Don't have a good read on, voted Nem.
scoop411 - Going back and forth on pro-town vs. scum, not ready to label one way or the other yet. The automatic jumping to the conclusion that scum was setting them up struck me as very odd.
RICKETS - Totally cracking me up. I'm not getting such an evil read from Rickets as others seem to be. I get more of a goofing around read, esp with the 3rd vote joke/not joke/whatever that was.
Gunslinger - Nothing striking me as scummy, but nothing striking me as pro-town either. Voted Nem.
Old3Toes - Hasn't posted enough to get a read on
UhOhChongo - Can't get a read on

Wanting to lean pro-town (at the bottom are most townie)
xx_Nemesis_xx - Hasn't posted enough to get a read on. For some reason at least 1 scum wanted Nem lynched.
maelstrom - Playing a bit of a confusing game for me to get a read on. Did vote for HH, but it was after the 6th vote already placed, so not cleared imo.
gold leader - Voted for HH, don't have a great read on them though.
Tree_Hugger - Can't get a read on, did solidify the lynch on HH.
chupacabra - Haven't heard a whole lot from Chup, were the target of HH yet HH never actually voted for Chup. Still, I'm not feeling like they were teammates. Was the first vote on HH.
narwhal - Originally my gut said scum, but I'm wanting to lean narwhal towards the townie side after last night's events.
wing nut - Leaning towards the townie side. Saw through HH's BS
Tiburon321 - Innocent, duh
Star-Crossed - Obvious innocent


The order is indeed important. The closer to the top someone is the more likely scum.

 

[[AC] C-note]

Tib, yeah if they had just said they opened the crumpled note that would be one thing but adding what was actually sent in the pm...I can't get it to quote like they did but here it is copy/pasted:

“IMPORTANT! You are now a patient of the AC Insane Asylum, but have been committed against your will. You must work with others, in similar situations, to get out.

BEWARE! There are several evils, planted among you, who will try to thwart your plans to leave.”

And here you are, HI in post 313 echoing HH's sentiment that it was a quote from the PM. I really don't understand the argument you're trying to put out there. Could you please break it down for me?

Sorry for the double post...

 

[[AC] Tiburon321]

Actually I want to flip-flop scoop and driver on my list. They're still both in orange, but scoop slightly more scummy than driver since HH could have created the scene to pull votes off of scoop.

 

[[AC] Driver8]

I have been thinking about HH, he starts this PM/role call thing to I suppose start a case on a known innocent. My question is why? There was a lead vote getter already candidate already. Was HH trying to be overly clever to get someone voted off or was he trying to save some one. I am not sure but I leaning towards the save some one. If that supposition is correct then there is a very short list of person who where in trouble.

Of course HH could have just been stirring the pot and got carried away, I just do not see why. I feel HH had to be protecting only way I can figure it.

It had been mentioned about Rickets and their comments about the third vote....C-note asked....

I don't understand why Rick would be implicated if Scoop turns scum. Wouldn't it be more incriminating if Scoops flipped townie?

Star answers..

You could look at it two ways:

1) scoop is innocent and thus Rick brought up because he/she knew it would then matter if scoop was lynched

2) scoop is scum and Rick was trying to keep votes off of scoop by bringing up the 3rd vote thing

#2 seems more likely for scum to suggest at the time seeing as there were hardly any votes cast at the time so it would have been rather early for anyone to know if that certain vote would even make a difference.

And of course the third option would be it was just an innocent question to begin with. Certainly could be the case but I wasn't exactly sure of the answer Rick gave me when I questioned it. I kind of shrugged it off for consideration later until Rick brought it up again...

Now, after it was brought out about Star being the 3rd on Scoop is it not kinda ironic s/he was the hit, and had implicated Ricket?

My top 2 are diffidently Ricket and Nem at this point. Scoop, has my concern too as Rickets could of easily been trying to "scare" ppl from voting them and they also could be who HH was trying to draw attention away from.

Maybe I missed it, but why is Nem in your top 2?
