A Gentleman's Game of Guile, Subterfuge, and Intrigue (Fin)

[Apokalyptika]

I saw quite a few gentlemen who took him seriously. TheLonging claimed he was serious. Also, from reading other games and generally browsing the site, I can easily believe that a player would seriously try to policy-lynch vezok. Do you think it's honestly better, information-wise, that everyone should sheep a vezok policy lynch?

Er, what ho, my good man! Fancy a game of cricket?

I just think that the information gained from something like that, provided it doesn't fully go through, could be instrumental in finding scum.

I would like our opinions of Twistedspoon, Esq. and Sir vezokpiraka. They remain my two strongest villain suspects and knowledge of how we view them will be worthwhile.

[inHimshallibe]

My apologies, gents. Our gracious host has asked me to speak up a trifle more often, and I will humbly acquiesce to his request. I hope to not bother him so in the future.

Be that as it may, I would direct your attention to Sir Hybrid's parsing of Sir Longing's request to evict Sir V. Piraka on policy. I most certainly thought he was earnest in his endeavor, unfruitful as it was. I deign to ponder that Sir Hybrid was not attempting some sort of framing of Sir Longing? What say you, good gentlemen? I think it obvious Sir Hybrid misinterpreted Sir Longing's actions, though was it intentional or accidental?

For myself, I find his actions honest, though I would request Sir Hybrid to give a more thorough examination to his fellow gentlemen's words and possible motivations.

And my vote, currently residing on the board next to Sir Apokalyptika's name, has no reason to change, methinks. I expected some sort of rebuttal, inconsequential as they may come to rebut a point such as the one I made, and the shunning of my suspicion merely draws more from myself.

[TheLonging]

DH knows me well, he'd probably try some stupid framing shit.

[Hoppster]

Pre-emptive prod-dodge post so I don't get prodded whilst writing a post.

[Apokalyptika]

Ah, Sir inHim, while my post 13 was addressed to Sir Caboose, as you had many of the same thoughts as him regarding myself, please feel free to take it as a response to yourself as well.

[Hoppster]

I would invite you both to consider again the fact that the other, in all probability, represents no more than one third part of the total substance of villainry amongst us, and to provide an indication of who else you suspect at this point, and for what reason. Please do not delay your response for fear of Twistedspoon copying your reads, for I am confident the rest of us will notice if that eventuates.

I will be honest here - I am unfortunately having a hard time getting solid reads from this game. I have a few gut reads, but these are mostly unfounded. I do have some town-reads (not just gut) which I have considered posting, however, I do believe this would benefit the villains amongst us more than it would benefit other gentlemen.

I am however suspicious of TheLonging, for a rather abrupt change of track from vezok to Twistedspoon.

No one in this game is really looking at motivations. What is the motivation behind TS posting the way he is? He's prodding for information. It should read off as very town. He's not ignoring information or misrepping people.

Where has TS shown any sign of information-hunting, I must ask?

Theoretically, yes, posting in the way he is could be a way of seeking information and it could be his motivation. But read his posts and tell me: do you honestly believe this is the case?

It's called rereading

[Feysal]

Back from V/LA.

I've read the posts from the weekend, and I'm surprised by how few they number. As of this moment, we have less than five days until deadline, and we are completely undecided on who to lynch. We should remedy this situation quickly, and that goes for myself as well. I have not forgotten that my own vote remains unsused.

I can't say I'd be enamoured of either of our main wagons today. I recognize there is a case on Twistedspoon, yet looking at his meta I find it quite believable he would act that way as town. The other wagon on vezokpiraka started as a policy lynch for his reputation of being detrimental to the town, and it then turned into a lynch for scumminess for essentially the same reason. I don't see a real case on vezokpiraka, however neither do I have a strong town read on him.

[StrangerCoug]

Is it correct that only five days remain? By Jove, does the time fly!

Sir Feysal, is there a villain suspect you think is stronger than Twistedspoon, Esq. or Sir vezokpiraka? If so, then how does it come about?

[imaginality]

May I present to you, Feysal, and anyone else in search of a wagon, the following person as an alternative for whom we expel today:

kr0b: for merely sheeping Apokalyptika (in 69), trying to deflect onto kpaca (113, also containing the 'perhaps' which, perhaps, became over-analysed), weaselly words (121 - the "mostly of sound reasoning") and poor defense (same post), misrepresentation of my case (125) with an OMGUSsy vote, weirdly stepping in to defend kpaca out of the blue (197).

Mark my words, he is a scoundrel, and we would do well to be rid of him.

[vezokpiraka]

From the top three candidates for lynch I support the TS wagon and the Kr0b wagon.

Obviously I don't support the wagon on myself.

explain why you supposrt a krob lynch

[inHimshallibe]

vote: Sir K. R0b

I am in favor of action. Sir Apokalyptika's post could be read as a response to me, so I grant a small reprieve, though I would be remiss if I did not mention how much I would appreciate to be addressed directly every now and again. Of the other votes, I disagree with those voting Twistedspoon, Esq. and Sir V. Piraka, thinking them to be more likely on gentlemen than any form of villainy. Sir Imaginality seems clear-headed enough to follow, though I will evaluate myself as today wears on.

This post is a call to action, gents.

[Hoppster]

Egad.

kr0b is a person from whom I had wished to hear more. I do indeed get a villanous gut vibe from him, however I'm not keen with his lynch over Twistedspoon, whom I feel has had ample time in his posts to get content in and convince me that he is town.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: Twistedspoon

I shall have to stop procrastinating and get my case typed up today.


While I'm doing that, Twistedspoon:

a) Which of {kr0b, vezok, Twistedspoon} do you support a lynch on?
b) Do you feel a lynch of myself (Sir Hoppster) is still viable?

I am however suspicious of TheLonging, for a rather abrupt change of track from vezok to Twistedspoon.

It's called rereading

I'm sorry, but no. Don't try to brush off this as something as simple as re-reading.

TheLonging: It is impolite to keep secrets in company. What additional reasons do you have for finding Sir Twisted scummy?

My post where I showed all of his fluff.

ISO #66, ISO #61, ISO #56

those convinced me the most

You had to re-read to realise he was posting largely fluff?

[Twistedspoon]

whom I feel has had ample time in his posts to get content in and convince me that he is town.

I'm quite sure the burden of proof was on your shoulders, not mine

[Hoppster]

Hence the case incoming, if you'd read my post.

And why are you dodging my questions? They're entirely relevant this soon to deadline if you're town.

[Twistedspoon]

a) Which of {kr0b, vezok, Twistedspoon} do you support a lynch on?
b) Do you feel a lynch of myself (Sir Hoppster) is still viable?

a) not myself. Not vezok, as vezok plays this Disillusionary even as town, and not kr0b because I've yet to see a groundbreaking case on him. My gut says he's more likely town than scum, but of the 3 and if i had to choose, I'd say kr0b because I have a stronger town read on vezok and myself than kr0b
b) certainly so

[Twistedspoon]

I wasn't dodging you questions ¬_¬

the previous post would have been made anyways. you gave me ~1 min to answer them

give me a break

[Hoppster]

a) Which of {kr0b, vezok, Twistedspoon} do you support a lynch on?
b) Do you feel a lynch of myself (Sir Hoppster) is still viable?

a) not myself. Not vezok, as vezok plays this Disillusionary even as town, and not kr0b because I've yet to see a groundbreaking case on him. My gut says he's more likely town than scum, but of the 3 and if i had to choose, I'd say kr0b because I have a stronger town read on vezok and myself than kr0b
b) certainly so

Regarding (b), then why did you not put this (the Sir Hoppster wagon) forward as an alternative with the recent 'WUT 5 DAYS LEFT ZOMG' above?

Why do you only have a town

read

on yourself?

Why are you not supportive of a kr0b lynch due to lack of a groundbreaking case on him yet you want me lynched despite a lack of a groundbreaking case on myself?


Also, what do you make of DemonHybrid's speculation of your 'motivation'?


P-Edit: So why did you press submit when you weren't finished?

(Rhetorical.)

[vezokpiraka]

Obviously I don't support the wagon on myself.

explain why you supposrt a krob lynch

Because I think he is likely scum? Have you been reading the thread? Kr0b is my second suspect after.

I have supported your wagon for a long time. I never thought it neccessary to remind everyone that I do.

Why do you only have a town

read

on yourself?

I don't. Imaginality, SC and feysal are strong town reads of ine

Why are you not supportive of a kr0b lynch due to lack of a groundbreaking case on him yet you want me lynched despite a lack of a groundbreaking case on myself?

I don't see the kr0b case. But I know that my gut says you're the best lynch. Also, as long as you're alive you'll try to mislynch a townie in myself

Also, what do you make of DemonHybrid's speculation of your 'motivation'?

remind me

P-Edit: So why did you press submit when you weren't finished?

(Rhetorical.)

Cause I wanted to address one part first
