He's had no content at all, and even at L-1, has had no fight to stay alive. This is not playing to a town win condition in any shape or form.
Yes, but lynching him was still a mistake. What did we gain from his death?
"...One dead scum?" Yes, that. But did we gain anything else? No. We didn't. There's absolutely zero info from Elli's lynch which is usable.
"...Wagon analysis?"
Is extremely subjective and wifom-laced. Were all scum on, or off? If neither (as in, mix of both), how many on and how many off? Where on the wagon are the scum? Exactly. Wagon-analysis is possible to do, yes. For instance, it's quite obvious that if there's scum on the Elli wagon, it's after Elli's claim, because town-seeing-claim will mostly think, "we should wait and see what info we can get from this", whereas scum-seeing-claim are going to realize, "Meh, let's just get the towncred now rather than tomorrow."
But it's a fine art. Not something most people can do.
"So...you're arguing that dead-scum is bad?"
Yes. The Elli wagon was a mistake. Elli should have been lynched today, not yesterday. Why? Simple. Because if we lynched another player yesterday (REGARDLESS OF TOWN OR SCUM, though obviously preferably a scumbag like ActionDan), then we'd have the info from their lynch IN ADDITION TO whatever Elli claimed for a result today.
"Wouldn't Elli's result
also
be laced with wifom?" Oh, undeniably. "And wouldn't the Elli lynch today be laced with that same wifom?" Sure! But then we'd have BOTH of them, and be able to work with both of them, whereas with an Elli lynch yesterday, all we got was the wagon-wifom withOUT the investigation-wifom to help us decode it. Had I been around on the weekend, I would have said this then, too.
TIP and AD both defending Elli reinforces them being scum, by the way.
It makes a statement. "SCREW YOU ALL, ACTION DAN IS SCUM."
Had I been around, I would have switched to Metal Sonic in an effort to prevent the scum-driven buslynch on Elli and to wagon different-player-but-still-scum Metal Sonic.
Away on the weekend. As marked in my sig, I am V/LA over weekends. Friday Night (which these posts were during) is part of the weekend.
Mastin has been really quiet and I think him to be scum.
I was abnormally quiet, as you put it, on D1 BECAUSE D1 WAS A SPEEDLYNCH AND I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO POST MORE. I was abnormally quiet at the time you posted this BECAUSE IT WAS A WEEKEND WHEN I WAS V/LA. I've been PLENTY-active during the times where you
haven't
been idiots and rushed into a lynch, so maybe if people would STOP being moronic with their votes and urges to lynch people quickly, I could actually
show
that.
Prodding Ellibereth and Mastin2, I will also prod Peregrine soonish if he doesn't return.
And, by the way, this is why patience is a virtue. HAD YOU WAITED TEN MINUTES, I WOULD HAVE POSTED BEFORE THE HAMMER. I got prodded (despite my weekend V/LA), and was making my MS rounds at the time OF the hammer. Had the hammer been later, I would have had the time to post.
Titus wrote:Mastin - Very few posts, says Elli is likely to be a derp lynch.
See above for both. Yes, Elli was a derp-lynch. I thought Elli was scum, BUT I SPECIFICALLY AVOIDED BEING ON THE WAGON DESPITE THAT. It was stupid to lynch Elli, especially not knowing if Elli was scum. Hence, why it's so incredibly scummy the later you're on the wagon. Because only the scum would know Elli's claim to be false, and only idiots (derps) or scum would not think of the value of keeping even a scum-Elli around for one more day.
[LYNCHED] Ellibereth: Thor665, Desperado, Toogeloo, borkjerfkin, PeregrineV, RedCoyote, Aj The Epic, Titus, No Brains Here, TheIrishPope
Looking at maybe-bork (need to double-check), maybe-RC (also need to double-check), Titus (also also need to double-check
), and TIP for the scum on the wagon. Obviously not all of them, but the scum on the wagon
is
there,
especially
in the form of TIP.
The thing is, reevaluation only happens when it's for the better. If I reevaluated my read on you from scum to town, that'd be wrong.
Thus the lack of it. There
are
reads I'm reconsidering. (See above.) There
are
people I'm not as sure about. (Pondering a few things in my mind.) But nothing, NOTHING about the Elli lynch makes you town; quite the opposite, it confirms you as scum.

In a word?
It makes PERFECT sense for chesskid to do it. Why WOULDN'T he? "...Because it's too obvious?" CHESSKID. CHESS. FREAKIN'. KID. And you think it's too obvious? Let me laugh for a bit. If anything, him doing so makes it MORE likely that Dan's scum, not less. Heck, aren't those three the Princeton Power team? All three having known close ties together? AT BEST, him calling out two friends to hammer would be null. AT ABSOLUTE BEST. The fact that Elli and chesskid were scum helps reinforce why it's far, FAR more probable that he did so with his scumbuddy, ActionDan.
For the record, it's blatantly obvious Sangres is town. Also also, for those saying I'm only focusing on ActionDan, you're dead-wrong. I have posted content on MULTIPLE players, scattered throughout my iso, even having a full reads list at least once. (A reads list in desperate need of revision, but a reads list all the same.) Among the more important ones being my TIP and pitolislot scumreads.
