Open 354: Twin Trap in Morecambe (Concluded)

jerobbo · Post Post #313 (isolation #0) » Fri Nov 25, 2011 10:32 am

Hey everyone - I've replaced in to a few games and I've started with a list of my feelings on everyone which seems to work well and puts me on somewhat of an even keel with everyone else.

So without further ado (in the order of the OP):

Kuribo - Didn't have a read on [J] really from his contribution so pleased that Kuribo has taken over. Liked his posts after replacing in, jumped straight in there to give fresh views on things which I like. Seemed a bit eager to call DJ and Trevor as town but at least it came in a flurry of other analysis.

don_johnson - Completely absent early game but his arrival actually ended the RVS which was good although probably unintentional when Jora called him on it and it all kicked off from there. Wary of his record as scum. I realise that is slightly unfair but it pays to be paranoid.

daftnarwhal - I have literally no read on you at all. Post more. Do some analysis. Can't believe I've read 13 pages and have nothing to say about you. Seriously flying under the radar.

Jora - Responded to the early game pressure in a slightly weird manner, not sure about his case on don_johnson either. He did pick up on the fact that DJ has a great record as scum, good point. One of the the most active in the thread so far and has at least done a little scumhunting but damn, that hammer (more later on that)

Adc75 - Called a town v town vibe on the DJ v Jora discussion which I got reading it back as well, good spot but not necesarily a tell on anything. He then went on to really pull GNR up on his 'narwhal is town' which was good as well.

Sampson - Wary of an early L-1 and called DJ on his 'accidental' L-1, good spots. Seems overly cautious at times. Another that seems to be flying under the radar although his last post was much better.

Thomas - Very little content also. Started off nibbling at some people which looked pretty towny but then spent most of his time defending others rather than scumhunting.
Some tough people to read in this game and I'm definitely not 100% on anything yet until I've had some back and forth with people.

Now, on to the lynch. I can see why GNR was lynched, especially with his first post after being prodded early on where he said nothing except narwhal is town. Really bad start and it just spiralled from there, with him disappearing again then re-appearing with another terrible post. Really bad town play, definitely.

On my read through I got to page 12 and he only had 2 votes, ADC and daftnarwhal. Kuribo, DJ and Jora then jumped right on that wagon and drove it home, it all happened very quickly.

Let's assume there was at least 1 scum on the mis-lynch which is usually a safe bet. I'm gonna leave ADC since he was first on there and he's come over as pretty town in my first read through. Daftnarwhal gets a semi-pass for now because he was on early and I have literally no read on him at all yet. You really need to post more content.
So, Kuribo pretty much lays a 'stop lurking' vote down, DJ sheeps him. Fine he's at L-1, dude needs to stop lurking. Not really seeing anything suspicious so far then GNR posts another shitty, shitty post and Jora 'accidentally' hammers him.

So today obviously defaults to Jora being number 1 suspect. Was it really an accident? It said that GNR was at L-1 in the post literally right before his. So had he not read the thread? Is skimming the thread a scumtell? He has a lot to answer for.

As for the rest of the wagon, well it's pretty excuseable I suppose since it was hardly a 'lynch wagon' at any stage, it was more of a 'post more' wagon.
Going for a 2nd read through.

Obviously had this written about before ADC was killed, but everything pretty much still stands as it is.

jora: seriously.

vote: jora

kuribo: how was your night?

Not sure I see what you're saying? I replaced in during the night phase so I typed up a post in wordpad while I had time at work (where I post from) and the thread was closed, then posted it when it opened...Have done it before and I'll do it again. Didn't have time to go through and edit it when ADC was killed and it doesn't really make any difference to my analysis.

As for him being first on the wagon, as I said it was a 'post more' wagon so I'm not really giving scum points to anyone who was on it, except for the ridiculous hammer.

Kuribo: daftnarwhal gets a semi-pass because I have no read on him, so what I can I do until he posts more? He needs to post more as I state twice in my opening post. The semi-pass only lasts so long.

Also, I get that you two are buddys or whatever, but the fact you seem to have each other as confirmed town when no one else does is a little weird.

Anyway, VOTE: Vote Jora, need some kind of explanation

Oops, I meant VOTE: Jora of course

i was alot less jaded back then

That's pretty much what I thought, I realise I could have been NK'd but I had the time to read and write then so thought I'd take it. Would've been royally pissed off if I'd been NK'd after replacing without being able to post.

Think we really need Jora and daftnarwhal post's in here to move things forward.

But is also stated in the post directly above yours that it was L-1. Did you not read that post either?

↑ daftnarwhal wrote:I agree with DJ and jerobbo. Jora needs to explain.

Do you also agree with me that you need to stop hiding and post some content??

You completely ignored the fact that everyone needs you to post more and tried to deflect everything on to Jora.

Do not like.

↑ Jora wrote:Oh, I see. Sampsons post. Well, I missed it. Sampson - scum.

Right, if you genuinely thought that then surely you would be paying extra special attention to his posts?? This strikes me as someone who is not actively scumhunting but just going through the motions to look town.

So you missed a vote count and then missed a post saying L-1, and your excuse is you couldn't see properly because of the colour and then because you think the person is scum you didn't read his post?? No way, not gonna fly.

I see no lynch other than Jora today (as much as daftnarwhal is irking me right now)

The 'accidental' hammer. The not reading the thread. The saying someone is scum but not even reading their posts (this is really big for me, when I think someone is scum, I go through everything they say thoroughly looking for anything)

I'd kick myself letting Jora live to end-game having got away with that.
