VOTE: pine

w/e they can shoot the cop anyway

i think scum just gave up.

[Jingle]

as in, you can take a lynch and change it to anyone?

I mean... aren't we still waiting on this answer and PP to claim?

[RadiantCowbells]

how long are we willing to wait?

[Dannflor]

[Jingle]

I see no reason to assume ofrhz won't answer in a timely manner.

After which I'm cool with just lynching PP if he doesn't show up. I assume Pine's claim is real, because it makes too much sense for it not to be.

[Jingle]

Or rather, ideally, lynching Pine and having ofhrz governate it onto PP.

[Jingle]

DANN REPLACE IN SO I CAN LYNCH YOU!

[ofrhz]

I can only stop a lynch, not redirect it onto someone else. Day would end in a no lynch.

I also cannot self target.

[ofrhz]

I don't see why we would need to test my role if you believe Pine's. Ours are so similar:

Top 5 posters in us politics thread -- Governor
Top 5 posters in relationships thread -- Cupid

[xyzzy]

goodbye my only friend
oh, did you think i meant you?
that would be funny
if it weren't so sad

ellen mclain - want you gone

Hi.

Okay, here's the deal. Last week was really difficult for me.

Spoiler: Emotional Health

I was not in a good place. My depression is usually pretty low-key, and well controlled with low-dose medication. I still have a bad day or two every month, and once or twice a year I have a bad week. Last week was that week. I've had a long conversation with my doctor, and while we've been avoiding it for a while. we've upped my dosage, hoping to whittle away at the off-times. I'm fine now. Quality time with family and reading several escapist novels and playing some mindless RPGs helped a lot. Don't worry, I'm never a danger to myself or others.

Apathy and ennui is a major feature of my bad times. I was barely keeping my head above water elsewhere around here, and completely failing to do so in a 100+ page thread.

I apologize for my absence. I probably should have replaced immediately, when the slot was still viable, rather than waiting until my unexplained absence had dug it into a hole no one wanted to take.

I kept this game bookmarked, but haven't really checked it in a week. On a whim I looked today to see who'd replaced me, and I found that no one had. That isn't fair to the Town, so I talked to xyzzy, and they're having a hard time finding someone who wants to read 125 pages with a disadvantaged slot. I'm going to give it another attempt, and I'll actually try this time.

i think scum just gave up.

Honestly, this post is what really got me to care enough to bother to contact xyzzy.

I don't do this as scum. Ever. Not once in my 7 years on site. It isn't how I operate. If I think something's lost, I try harder rather than giving up. Sometimes it works.

Here's an example of how I approach an "oh I'm fucked" scum slot. I replaced into this a few weeks ago by request, and went out in a blaze of glory. To see "scum gave up" attached to me is actually kind of offensive.

[RadiantCowbells]

didn't mean to imply tactical replace out so if that's what you read into my post i apologize.

who do you think the scum are?

[Pine]

I did think you meant tactical replace-out, so rancor rescinded.

I have no idea. I barely skimmed the early game, don't remember much, and haven't read at all since at least dawn of D1. I thought I saw something about Mastina having an investigation of some kind?

[Pine]

I'm just engaging my replacement strategy at this point. I don't really know what's going on, and early D1 reads are usually obsolete by late D2 anyway.

[xyzzy]

so it turns out I thought I'd changed my ruleset to accommodate replacements being able to be undone, but I apparently never did that, which makes Pine continuing with his slot potentially in violation of that part of the site rules. I'm locking the thread until I hear back from a list mod re: the best way to handle the situation now. (technically I've already heard from a list mod, but PenguinPower is the one who brought this to my attention, and he's also in the game.)

edit: no action is needed beyond a slight change in my rules. carry on!

I did well in my magic tournament I get to play one the special extra day for people who aren't eliminated

DANN REPLACE IN SO I CAN LYNCH YOU!

Can you recruit me?

[Jingle]

I am incapable of such.

Only the cool kids and RC get to recruit people.

Thanks! Perhaps it is because I am a cool kid. Jingle has designated me as such.

I scumread PenguinPower independently of RC's setup speculation but Titus didn't get it. I don't know if Tammy will get in deep enough to develop an opinion.
