Right now, I need to head out, so I'm keeping this quick (there's stuff I wanted to mention about Macavitar and Mikujin, too, but I'll save it for later):

Mina - how are you doing on the N2 QT paraphrase?
Thanks for reminding me.
I'll see if I can get it done tomorrow.
MagnaofIllusion wrote:I don’t like it because it just because there isn’t a non-WIFOM scum motivation for you to express your theory of a Lannister on the Kingsguard and to push so hard for Cow. Your theory makes sense I think. If Cow does scan as Town that leaves you as the only “unaccounted for” Kingsguard member. The heavy WIFOM involved with whether you would push for Cow’s investigation to ‘clear yourself’ is something I would not put past a good player using to their advantage. All this said I still feel you are Town but I’m not going to outright dismiss that little bit of gnawing doubt in the back of my mind that this scenario creates.
Fair enough. I wouldn't confirm myself as non-Lannister.
If anything, voicing my theory would probably harm the town. It's basically what happens if SSBF is Mafia fakeclaiming (possible given how weakly he's justified his kill choices) and there really is a SK instead of a vig. In that case, we're better off lynching SSBF.
Either way, I'm thinking if we're super-confident that SSBF is scum, we should kill him sooner than later, because we're more likely to make an accurate lynch choice tomorrow than today from among the rest of our suspects. But it's a good idea to at least look at other lynch options today and keep the pressure up on everyone.
CSL: thank you for that. But you were actually never on Raivann's bandwagon. And my point was not only that Raivann's lynch was still viable when you voted CMAR over him, but that you then OUTRIGHT CLAIMED that you suspected CMAR more.
Hmm. That explanation could have been
worse
, but I have a paranoid theory right now based on the change in style of that post. Probably tinfoil hat, though.
That said, you not noticing the investigation on Percy is a point against you being a Greyjoy. In particular, Faraday mentioned in a PM to me last game that he'd probably use daytalking next time, in which case I'm sure Percy would have been sweating bullets in the QT before being savaged by Grey Wind.
Axelrod: you have time to write long posts explaining just why we should lynch the potential SK (which I can see a very obvious scum motivation for posting). What I'd like now is at least one case. Preferably not on CSL, because that's reaching for the low-hanging fruit. Because the only case you've made all game is on danakillsu, after several people had attacked him, and one on SSBF based purely on the NKs.
See, you may act soooo upset when a townie doesn't claim until late, and worried about players who are turned off by this game by Drippereth's playstyle, and happy when we kill scum...but that's something an experienced player in a multiple-faction game might be able to fake. When I look at the overall pattern of your actions, you fit very well into the scum mold. You're talking the talk, but not walking the walk. And your recent posts have a few sentences that--to borrow your own expression--raise my hackles.
So it would make me happy if you tried to make a little time before the deadline is up.
I don't suppose you have town and scum meta, do you?
