:
Starting from Tuesday I'll be V/LA. Going on a trip to Egypt until Thursday the 8th. I'll probably have internet access there, but probably will only be able to drag myself here two or three times during that time.
I don't want to be replaced, but I would like it that if you have questions for me and arguments against me, you make them preferably before Tuesday so I can at least adress them in a timely fashion that doesn't slow down the topic. I don't want to get lynched over suddenly flaking.
Then again, with 400 posts of mine to work with, something tells me you should have enough content to make a decent decision.
Yeah, I can't take you on right now. Maybe later, but right now it looks as if you have me beat, so congratulations for that. You're impressively able to paint me off as scum and have succesfully put me on a point where you have obfuscated things in such a way that there's no more way for me to reply to it in any way I can still imagine. The point where I think the only way heat could get back on to you in any way is my flip.
The NS-case is shit, yet you have been able to make it golden. It makes you obvscum in my book, but not in others, simply because you are very thorough, and succesful, in trying to make me look bad. You're a good player. Scum should be happy to have you in their ranks.
Yup, takes less time and less energy. Considering all the other stuff is being ignored anyway, I'll admit I can't be bothered to do anything else.
I hope you'll be using your obvtown-status better in the future. Both your and Venmar's vote right after something I considered would obvtown me, broke me. I've given this thing the best I got, but it's not good enough. Scum's got me by the balls and town is too lazy/careless to see it.
The only thing I got possibly left is timestamping my QT-transcript to make connecting the dots easier for lazy town, but I'll have to ask Haschel Cedricsson if this is allowed first.
Explanation that will doubtlessly will be painted off as scummy: The qwints-wagon isn't getting any traction despite anything I've said, so I'm taking the self-reservation route, probably to my own detriment. Elyse's switch to me has made her scummy again in my eyes anyway, despite qwints being a much stronger scumread, but I'll be counting on Majiffy's persuasion-skills, also (
@ MOD
) because I'll be on V/LA starting from tomorrow until at least Thursday next week. Internet access probable but not guaranteed.
@Mod: I'll be V/LA starting from tomorrow Tuesday the 30th until Thursday, possibly Friday the 9th of August, so a bit more than a week. Normally I'll have some internet access during this time, but no guarantee. I'm hoping not having to be replaced, but if my prolonged possible absense is a problem I apologize in advance and will face force-replacement if circumstances require.
You were meraly putting yourself in a position where you could vote me, no questions asked. Your plan has been finalized with the above.
Fine with this stand-off then.
I'll probably be the one lynched anyway, in which case my last message is:
CHALLENGE GREEN INTO OBLIVION AND GIVE QWINTS MORE HELL AND MORE ROPE.
Good game on scum's part, they beat town fair and square so none of them should feel bad or sorry for anything. pirate_mollie had me completely fooled, qwints beat me in a stand-off, my wariness of Angry Pidgeon's always been faded by well-placed remarks by himself as soon as the wariness was starting up, and Venmar was just really good in staying off the radar, also because so many townplayers decided to get on it. Myself for starters.
Town didn't play its best game I think.
Not going to bother with saying how I was right in certain reads, considering I changed my mind more often than I can count. In a way I think I did hold up rather well in this game, and my slot not getting lynched is a small light for me. I was particularly surprised practically nobody had me as obvtown after my QT-transcript (Wisdom most notably, like I said before we could have made a fine obvtownteam) and I don't understand Elyse's reasoning in lynching someone who is obvtown toh er just to save her ownh ide. Her post-game explanation of how it made me obvtown would have made just as much sense during the game, and she wouldn't have seemed scummier for it. The fact that my QT-transcrpit hardly convinced anyone was the biggest personal disappointment for me. Amrun's lynch was a sad story, but even in retrospect I don't think it was that uncalled for.
qwints is the only one in the scumteam I had a direct stand-off with, and he beat me. Also like I said during the game. I repeat my congratulatory remarks towards him, he did a good job of painting me off as scummy, though I also have myself to blame for that. I think I played this game rather too naively, and thought only scum would try to put me in a bad light given my transparent posting. Yet my posting was not transparent, posting everything you think is clearly not the way to go, at least not in games like this. Changing your mind is apparently a scumtell, something I had not realized.
I think there was more that could have been done. Like AngryPidgeon said, there should have been more townhunting.
Too bad I had to replace out (for which my apologies to the mod and other players, tbh, when I left for Egypt I was close to certain I'd be lynched so I was less motivated to begin finding internet cafés), but my replacement did really well. Not a small feat in such a big game. No point in saying what I would have done, there's no telling really at this point, only thing I know is qwints would have stayed on my radar.
But most importantly: I really did have fun this game. Thanks to all!

Yes yes, no worries.
You're definitely right about those self-preservation votes. But they're a psychologically sensible mistake. Avoiding getting yourself lynched seems the most sensible tyhing to do, given that's the only thing you can be truly certain of, namely that your lynch will be a mislynch.
But like I told Elyse in the dead QT, we should have both remained on you. Wisdom's switch onto me made me lose it a bit, I thought I had his townread on me secured even before my QT-transcript and expected the transcrpit to cement that. When I noticed the opposite happened I just adopted the "fuck it all"-attitude, which is always detrimental no matter which way you turn it.
Even fooled me post-game, that one.
