kpaca and kr0b have been prodded. Caboose has yet to respond to his prod.

I'd not be sorry if Sir Longing were the one to end up excluded from our gathering. The reread explanation does contrast with the fluff argument to an extent that he looks like a villain inventing explanations for his posts rather than a nobleman giving explanation. I prefer kr0b but will happily support a wagon on Sir Longing if one arises.

Sir Hoppster is pushing the 'town read' point too hard methinks, firstly as Duke Spoon used it to refer to himself and another player rather than himself alone, secondly because scum would have no more reason to call themselves a 'town read' than town would, since scum would hardly read themselves as town.

Whilst that's true to an extent, it's more befitting of a scum mindset I'd say to accidently refer to themselves as a town read.

Is my pushing of this point scummy or just overzealous, would you say?

Overzealous.

each of them have their own individual scumminess although there is some sort of connection between them

It's like you didn't even read what I posted

It is of my dearest apologies that my brain seems to have taken leave. The replies since I have last reported in are troublesome for me to sort. However, I am still fond of the moves to eject Twistedspoon, Esq. and Sir vezokpiraka from the lodge and have reiterated this in several instances.

My apologies dear gents. My examinations in front of the royal board are not complete. Unfortunately I am called away to my business for a bit, but only until later this evening, when I shall return to the lodge and read over the minutes, so that I may properly weigh in.

Pip-pip!

Most omniscient & gracious (yet unfortunately deceased) host: I humbly request an extension to the deadline for balloting on the grounds of players having finals/exams and whatnot.

Deadline for this day shall be extended one week from today:
May 18, 2011
. I pray that this small mercy shall be heeded and not cast away for naught.

To begin, both seemed overly concerned about how they present themselves to us at one time. In addition, Sir vezokpiraka pushed us to find someone to evict when he was not helping in the matter himself. There may be a connection as Twistedspoon, Esq. appeared to be defensive of Sir vezokpiraka.

My apologies; you must have made that in the thicket out of which I couldn't get anything. Sir imaginality is not the most honorable one here, but he is suited to the lodge for now.

In my ponderings of dialogue past, I do not remember this at first recall in regards to Sir V. Piraka. I do see how one could attribute posturing to much of Twistedspoon, Esquire's posting.

Having said that, I suppose I do prefer a Twistedspoon, Esquire eviction to a Sir V. Piraka expulsion.

The longer it takes Sir K. R0b to stop by, the more I am want to keep the ballot headed his direction.

I, too, find myself impatient for his arrival. In fact, I want to refrain from commenting further on imaginality until he arrives.

I am again prodding kr0b and Caboose. If they do not respond in some way to these prods, they will be replaced.

I'm deeply sorry, but I will have to ask for replacement. If ever I'm on again and you're running a game, feel free to PM me asking to replace in. I must say that I have loved the Gentleman Theme deeply.

I am ready for Twistedspoon to present us with his identity; then if it is suitable, we shall proceed with Twistedspoon, Esq. being pushed out of the lodge.

Three days have passed without a post from me, and it is high time I remedied that. Again I see remarkably little has happened, though I am hardly in any position to criticize others for it. It is more fruitful to delve into the game anyway, so onwards.

StrangerCoug [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=3029555#p3029555]#311[/url] wrote: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?

At the time you asked this question, my answer would've been no. I had a townish read on Twistedspoon and more of a null on vezokpiraka, but I did not have a suspect I could've presented a case on.

After your inquiry however, I've seen the name of kr0b being mentioned by a fair few individuals. Therefore I took the liberty of examining him more closely, with the intent of solidifying my read on him. And indeed, I see the merit of this case now. I don't fully agree with the case as it was presented by imaginality, but I do see cause for concern.

I never thought that kr0b echoing Apokalyptika's words was very significant as such, but what he was saying then appears to conflict with his later actions. Apparently kr0b wondered why imaginality had singled out StrangerCoug, and with that background it does look peculiar how he singles out kpaca later on for supposedly posting fluff. I would say that kr0b's and kpaca's entries into the game are so similar as to invite comparison between them, but therein lies the problem. If indeed kr0b thought he and kpaca were similar in their manner of posting, what cause would he have to so focus on kpaca, in that post and later on? Particularly when kpaca had only just joined the proceedings, I find that kind of suspicion premature.

There is also the matter that kr0b spoke of fancy words being a convenient disguise for the villains amongst us. I rather liked this from him, since it mirrors my own thinking. In addition, I recognize a risk of misunderstandings arising from needlessly complicated language, which may have been the case with his use of the word perhaps. But looking at kr0b's early posts, I do see a definite lack of substance underneath a surface of pretty words.

Finally, his absence from the thread is long past looking conspicuous. His last post was nearly a week ago, and during that time he has posted in another game. Since this game has only grown by three pages since last Friday it should be possible for kr0b to keep up with ease, particularly when he appears to be able to do it in a more fast-paced game. Finally, according to his profile page, he last accessed the site today. These facts don't look like symptoms of flaking to me, more like avoiding this thread.

Given all this, I feel comfortable enough to

Vote: kr0b


I also see that we have received an extension of one week. I am sure that is very much needed.

Only now I see Twistedspoon stands at L-1. I did not realize we were that close to lynch, and did not see the vote count until after posting.

This changes the situation somewhat. Under the circumstances, a claim from Twistedspoon is probably necessary. What that claim is might not be a great surprise though... I thought I had seen a soft claim from him earlier.

I must also ask for replacement, I thought I could handle all these games at once but I simply can't. I've got two exams next week that I've not even begun revision for and I've been V/LA for most the game with exams and assignments

Sigh. With the two Sirs requesting replacement, I feel some amount of effort has been wasted.
