Open 538: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[Lucky2u]

VOTE: zekrom

Let's do this and see what happens.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

@ETL - anyone who "drunk posts" with a lot of mis spellings, by definition, needs lynching. I have drunk posted many a time. I get maybe a little more fighty and a little more silly - but I can still manage to operate a keyboard. Every time I read a post like that I kind of admit I start presuming the poster is like 16 or something.

*shrug* I'll try to type better next time. It doesn't happen as often as people seem to believe. I

do

work during the week.

Panic bus? Came in voting his partner who he saw going down and wanted to be on the wagon for it. He realized it was either really obvious or that it actually wasn't a sure thing smudger would be lynched and panicked back off. Hard to tell with zekrom the way he's played so far.

This reads to me like you are trying to make sure you aren't implicated as the partner when zek flips scum. It's really the only option for you, isn't it? You know you can't push me. You know you can't push obvtown BB/Thor. Admitting that zek made a foolish scum slip in trying to get a quicklynch means you're the only one left to be the partner, so you come up with this convoluted theory? You know, the most reasonable assumption...

Have yu ever seen a panic bus happen anywhere before? I'd love to have an example to evaluate this one by.

And yeah, this.

You can drunk post every evening for all I personally care about it, and it won't negatively effect my opinion of you as a person.
But try not to butcher the Queen's English during whatever percentage of time you are drunk posting. If you're indeed somehow so damaged as to be incapable of typing while still able to get online and navigate to this website, then you don't need to be typing in any case.

I am not against this as a working theory - also pair it now with his sudden reverse in attitude on Zek. It's not like Zek did...anything betwixt and between the votes, but Lucky *did* avoid my question and then proceed to the voting right away.

I'll admit I still hold a lot of doubts about Smudger - his play has been painfully pro-scum this entire time, on multiple levels. I feel pretty good about the Lucky situation. I'm almost wondering if...maybe Zekrom is indeed just that bad? But [Ongoing, ongoing, ongoig] and thus it's annoying because I can't even describe my issue to try to sound it out, y'know? But the vote on Smudger was just...it was so bad, and that he really couldn't justify it beyond "well, it will have given me time to read" is really...worse. Especially in mylo.

I dunno - do you have any town vibe from Smudger at all? Basically I'm trying to wade through a lot of scum and newb vibes from Zek and Lucky, and the Smudger=scum thing is burning very bright for me (albeit as it's late at night,a nd I'm tired and...well, may or may not be drunk, but, y'know)

I will consider some vote counts tomorrow (unless someone wants to be my favorite person ever and color code up a few for me) but I think we probably should do a bit of due dilligence on this question even if it feels very good right now.

[Thor665]

Oh, and I suppose I should point out that neither ETL nor I are possible to be scum with anyone *except* Zekrom now. Which, by the way, absolutely confirms me as town. Shock.

Just as long as we're keeping track.

[Thor665]

Aw, nix the ETL one, she's already voting Zekkie - my bad!

So, just I am confirmed.
Whoop-dee-doo.

[Thor665]

Why is it I always am the one who gets confirmed whenever I'm in lylo/mylo still leaving me to do all the hard work?
What's up with that?

[Zekrom25]

come on please allow me 1 extra day

[Thor665]

Why?

[Thor665]

And, by the way, since you should now recognize that I am confirmed town - feel free to really work hard to answer my question in the most pro-town way you can.

[Zekrom25]

i am able to protect the town

[Thor665]

No one cares - and that's certainly not a reason to avoid lynching you in this setup wherein you could just be scum and lying about being a Doc. What else have you got?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I am not going to vote anyone other than you or lucky today and much more preferably you.

Thor I have gone back and forth on smudger. Given zek's "content" thus far I see him more likely to be town at this point. I do need to take a look at aptil/lucky interactions just to be certain but I'm pretty comfortable with my vote.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

First part was @zek, obviously.

[Zekrom25]

i've protected the town


if any i protected was not town i wouldn't be here

[Thor665]

Which town have you protected?

[Lucky2u]

The common thread amongst every theory laid out so far right now is Zekrom, so how about we lynch the scum and get his partner tomorrow.

[Smudger]

I don't see where Thor thinks I am pro scum. But ok. I stand by what I am saying The scum team is Lucky/Zek. I don't see it with ETL in it and have not done so for a long time. Thors slot was cleared by BB who again is strong town in my mind. I will vote either Lucky or Zek today.

[Lucky2u]

BB, get in here and hammer this so we can move on.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

@thor: About smudger, it's a combination of his attitude and comments the last few days (most notably - "I know I'm town - It's absolutely lucky/zek!" - He keeps repeating this because, I think, he's tried to explain his reasoning otherwise and was not being heard/understood). What does a townie do at that point? They just keep repeating what they know. What does a scum do? They make up new theories because they can. Then, add in zek's responses, or lack thereof, and Lucky's reactions to both, and I'm leaning much more towards townSmudger than not. And the more I look back at the game, the more I like it.

[Zekrom25]

[Smudger]

Wow Zek amazing. Why do you dislike please explain

[Zekrom25]

i have suspicions Lucky is either a scum trying to get town cred / or

a bad town

[Smudger]

You have suspicions? That's interesting, so besides Lucky who else could be scum and why?

[Smudger]

Oh Zek another question for you. Do you think it highly likely that ETL is an serial killer and Thor is a survivor?
