I do apologize for the late post after the lynch had been achieved. I have a habit of reading where I left off and then posting without refreshing.

That was slick. :D

Note to self: Have a short talk with Hunter post-game about how we don't kill confirmed townies. Make the bad guys do it (or make the good guys take a stand to do it).

I see no reason to delay placing my vote.

Vote Lift.

Same reasons as yesterday, with the added reason that "Well, my first choice wasn't correct, so lets vote my second choice".

100% agree, there's never a good reason to self vote (especially if you are town).

I have no reason to delay my vote either as my thoughts have not changed

Vote dedo

I expected Trent's vote but why are you voting right away? Is that a follow-up of your plan from yesterday? If not, will there be one Today?

I have voted because I think it is the appropriate action to take at this time, and I currently have no information that would indicate I should not place my vote where it currently is.

I expect you've heard the phrase "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it". I can knock it.

I see.

I'm interested to see what mchack, HSL and Lift himself have to add if anything.

Actually, that isn't a bad argument and I'm going to use it too:

vote flubbucket

He was my second choice yesterday and, as I already announced yesterday, if he wasn't already the CL, he will be scum by now. He just is the perfect conversion candidate since no one will notice a change in behaviour - and since no one will expect the CL to go through with actually converting him after I predicted that that is what would happen.

The last point if of course pure WIFOM. CL does something nobody expects because everybody expects it therefore CL can't do it therefore it's the good thing to do and so on... but my point is, WIFOM, in the end, cancels itself out as argument since it can swing every way. So what remains is prudence and I stand with the fact that flubb is the best scum candidate in this group of players.

So, I am quite sure that flubb was either already scum yesterday (CL) or at least is scum today. What are your thoughts on flubb?

Concerning Hunter: while I do understand that he wanted to ensure town gets a flip, I do agree that the self vote was a bad move. It usually is. Townies should never self-vote. Especially the hammer vote is something that can be useful to scrutinize - which we can't do now, since the Hammerer is dead.
ahh, I'm also feeling bad about Hunter. He should have defended a bit better/ at all (don't know if it would've helped much, but going down kicking and screaming might have helped for analysis today), but I can understand that going on vacation makes this difficult/impossible.
Hope you don't take it too hard. And I wish you a nice holiday nonetheless.

As for voting right away. Can't say that I have a good suspect right now. And I'd be for a lot more discussion before reaching our first lynchee.
We stand now at 5 town vs 2 scum (or 6/1 if a potential alarmist got lucky) if all goes bad we reach another two mislynches today and it's game over tomorrow ending 2 town vs 3 scum if recruit goes through or mylo at 3/2 if not. So I think going on very cautiously is best.

Today for me Bookwyrm and flubbucket are most interesting for softclaiming reasons.

So what does this mean? Did CLs choice get more interesting by your play? But you learned nothing? Argh, I'm bad at this sleuthing stuff (And I mean very bad) but as pointed out above we might not have the time to wait to day 3 to lay the cards on the table (game might be lost by then).
Do you have information to help us not mislynch today or not? if so, then do tell. if not, then please explain what your plan yesterday was about. I understand that you might not want to. But if we get to lynch correctly at least once today, this will help us tremendously in that at least there might be a day 3, else there might not and your information (if any) goes to the grave with you.

So are you still sure about that player? What was that lynch me on day 3 play about yesterday? really just what lift surmised that you get better in later stages, or was there more in that remark? Can you help us not mislynch today?

How was he ensuring a flip? If you mean we might have ended the day with no lynch - that wasn't happening (unless someone unvoted, of course). I didn't get the vote but you can just pretend I did, since I would have for sure. I was waiting for Hunter to make a stand, maybe claim and see how that would have affected our the conversation and the people who were or weren't on the wagon, but my intention was to seal the lynch before going to bed that night barring something exceptional happening. For all intents and purposes you can consider me the Hammer.

This may or may not be so (either part), yet I'm not sure where your certainty about him being cult today comes from. Sure, if he was the CL he still is, but how can you be so sure he's been converted if he was Town? There are a few other alternatives that were just as good targets for various reasons. WIFOM is quite a bitch.

100% certain.

To be clear, I commented about being the Day Two lynch. It was Bookwyrm627 who claimed the Day Three lynch.

I squint at your haphazard reading. You are smart so no claims of confusion will be believed.

Right now I want to vote Bookwyrm627 and here's why:

Rereading his Day One stuff I'm struck by his seemingly tenacious will to make something real....The role calls, "firm contributions", none bolded votes, and such. And while I can applaud these as valuable for stimulating Day One conversation I'm having to keep telling myself there is only one bad guy at the time of these posts... not a scum team.

His initial vote right out of the chute is what makes me want to place the vote now.

Vote: Bookwyrm627

ok, day two (or day one if you are nitpicky) lynch but:

flubbucket: I should be the lynch on this Day. What if I'm recruited Day Two?? I'll still be a worthless player. My talent will shine come Day Three and by then I will possibly be cult and will be entrenched and focused on killing/recruiting all of you.

Save yourselves and deal with me now!
emphasis added.
The My talent will shine come Day Three is the part I remembered (I went by memory (which is faulty))
This is the sentence that made me believe, we had a softclaim on our hands here and which I want to scrutinize now. because tomorrow, it might be to late. So what "talent" is that, that will shine tomorrow? (in case we even get a day 3)

What was your expectations for him Today so you wouldn't go and vote him for things that remained unchanged since yesterday? Why weren't you voting him yesterday for said reasons? Wasn't HSL your top pick yesterday? What changed?
I'm baffled by Hunter65536's self-hammer, and abrupt shut-down of the discussion. I hope he enjoys his vacation, but as town you never ever do scum's work for them.

I'd like to hear what Lifthrasil means with that [emphasis added] "I do understand that he wanted to ensure town gets a flip". Also want to hear what makes him so certain that it's flubbucket and nobody else.

Regarding flubbucket, and additionally to what dedoporno asked him, I'd like to hear if and what would be different in his view of Bookwyrm627 if there were a scum team instead of a single scum on D1. Also, which "His initial vote right out of the chute" he's referring to, and why that vote makes him vote Bookwyrm627 now, but didn't Yesterday.

I see a few more questions have been asked, so more after they've been answered.

Now I understand what all the talk of "softclaiming" is about.

I will say my claims of talent are excreted mostly from my colorectal area and should not be taken as factual. The shine is more of a polished turd rather than any actual talent. Sadly though my value as a recruit was also a bit of vanity.....whatever. I'll get there, or get lynched.
