The Fonz
has challenged Mr Stoofer
The other five of you must vote on who you want to survive the debate. Please vote for whom you want to win the debate and remain in the game.
Deadline for all votes is: 23:59 EDT 15th of July.
Everyone must vote and you cannot unvote. Please do not "confirm" your vote. You get one chance to vote, and that is it. Failure to vote will result in modkill. There will be no replacements until someone is lynched.
Whoever receives fewer votes will be lynched. A simple plurality of votes will lead to one person being saved.
Sup, later.

Well, you never actually nommed him, and you provided the clinching vote in killing a townie and saving the guy most likely to be his scumbuddy. You've distanced from him, sure, but you've not yet done anything I'd see as opposed to Stoof-scum's interests.
Most of my case against Stoof is in my 539 and 543. The short version:
He's been on every lynch so far. None have been conservative.
The fact that he made such a song and dance about how Battle Mage had to die for policy reasons, and then decided that he might well be scum when the idea of policy-lynching came under attack.
I'll pull the following extract out, as it seems particularly pertinent:
The 'hard lynch' thing. As I said before, it seems like a rationalisation for saving scummy people over townish ones. His conversion also occurred just in time to save Albert and kill off a townie. I don't think this is a coincidence. This bit sums up my thoughts:
The way in which he apparently found Yos' defence of BM scummy, but made no comment at all about Albert doing the same.
I think that's the gist of it.

You cannot blame Stoofer for a group mistake. If those players died, its because the majority of the town believed they were conservative.The Fonz wrote:Most of my case against Stoof is in my 539 and 543. The short version:

I may want to add that I wasn't in on that, and would have had VanDamien killed.

I found the hard lynch thing was very logical - not being at LyLo yet, it wouldn't be a bad move to lynch someone who's death would yield a lot of information.

It looks like your distancing yourself a hell lot from Yosarian...maybe your not scum with him. I think a Stewie/Fonz/Dean scum team is highly likely, while Stoofer and Yosarian are likely town...but I'm not 100% sure.

Stoofer is the only one who's been on every one. That's a noteworthy voting pattern. Is any one lynch his fault exclusively? Of course not. The mneme vote was particularly scummy. Without Stoof's vote, the townish player would not have been lynched, and the scummy one saved, so I damn well can blame him, and everyone else who voted to save you there.Albert B.

Including mneme? Mneme wasOnce again, a majority of players wanted to lynch BM for policy reasons, including mneme:The Fonz wrote: The fact that he made such a song and dance about how Battle Mage had to die for policy reasons, and then decided that he might well be scum when the idea of policy-lynching came under attack.
the only
player other than Stoof in favour of a policy lynch. So the claim that a majority thought that way is simply untrue. Stewie, Dylan and myself voted for him because he looked scummy. Stewie wrote:I think that we should only lynch BM if we really think he's scum. The only reason to keep VD around is numbers, but getting rid of a townie will also reduce out numbers. Right now, the only reason I have to think BM is scum is that challenge he just made.
Dylan wrote:I believe Spin Wizard, Battlemage and one other person (maybe DeanWinchester) comprise the conservative mafia.
And mneme, unlike Stoofer, had the courage of his convictions- as soon as he declared himself strongly in favour of a BM lynch, he voted BM. Whereas Stoof, it was like he was saying 'we must lynch BM for sure' early on, to encourage others to vote him, whilst waiting until he had as many excuses as possible lined up before voting him himself.I wrote:I think the correct pro-town course of action here, at the very least, is to interrogate BM as thoroughly as possible, so that we can make the most informed guess about whether or not he is conservative or not.
If we let BM get away with this insanely anti-town move, we're encouraging people to practice day killing (which is what an early challenge amounts to if it has any chance of working -- doubly so, since it's both killing the day and killing -during- the day). Only scum have an incentive to challenge early, especially in a way that contradicts the town debate. Therefore, anyone who's acted this way has more or less announced scummishness.
vote: VanDamien
Not true. The main way in which VD has influenced play since then was by voting to save you. Which, as I think is obvious, I believe to have been strongly to the town's detriment. And like it or not, a townie has more reason to try to actively help the town than a Liberal does.I may want to add that I wasn't in on that, and would have had VanDamien killed. And honestly, VanDamien has been more reliable than BM so far, and I would think the mafia wouldn't care whoever is lynched - if VD truly is liberal.

That doesn't make any sense. mneme was one of the least informative lynches possible. The only potential tie was to Dean. Not that I believe lynching 'for information' is ever a good thing anyway, but you would have been a more informative lynch, as well as being much scummier.
Stoofer didn't refute Yos' arguments. He didn't even come close. Again, please explain why you felt Stoofer 'had the upper hand,' in that argument, since I strongly feel that Yos did.Because at the time I mostly relied on Yosarian to base my defense of BM on, Stoofer naturally refuted Yosarian's arguments, since I didn't have much to say that Yos didn't already put on the table.The Fonz wrote: The way in which he apparently found Yos' defence of BM scummy, but made no comment at all about Albert doing the same.

Let's wrap this baby up nice and tight
Now, how about this massive tax cut?
(Yes, I know, technically the third scumbuddy has to avoid the modkill, but with three days left I'd say that's a formality).
I was slightly worried Stewie would twig why you hadn't yet voted for Stoof, but seems like we got away with it.
