True, but Trent seems(imo) to be a smart cookie, and we might have benefitted more from keeping him in the game.

First off, thanks for giving me your input on this.

Also: Good points.....in fact it's one of my possible choices for d2(a nolynch vote)....gonna think a bit first, though.

Possibly....which is why this is another of my options for d2(voting Joppo or some other player, of those not leaned any amount towards town by myself atm, and seeing what comes of it).

(Bump Pleese)

HELL is doomed.

Nice bump Pooka. :)
(Also is dat a Doom Eternal reference I spy there? :D)
+++

Pooka(if scum) might not have wanted to join on Trent's wagon if another scum was on it already, unless need be.

Fwiw this also sounds like casting shade(by yourself onto Pooka, specifically).

+++

(Need another bump, if someone wants to help me out again. If not, no biggie, I can also wait :))

Shhhh, there's no doom game after doom 3. Well, outside of HELL anyway.

Thanks again...also Doom guy says hi :)
+++

(underlining mine) My thoughts as well. :|

That's why a player should probably (just a humble suggestion) leave a "placeholder" vote(their most likely vote at the time) on someone when they have time to post....if they're going to be busy or possibly busy later on when time is scarce on a "day".

That it can be.

+++

Aside to all: A few of Nmillar's recent posts(like 348) seem a bit LAMIST to me....anyone else think so?

Need any more bumps?

I wasn't going to impose any more, but thanks(re the bumps) Pooka. :)
(also note I replied to you above)

Someone feels i'm town for a change, and not scummy or undecided(but possibly scummy)? What a twizzzt!

(But really, why do you find each of us town, if you could oblige and answer)

So since we have a NL, why not use it today(d2)? Or would you rather we hold back till later(d3 and on)?

If so, then why? Didn't you say it was best to do it asap?

Sorry for not being around today, lots of stuff to do and I'm knackered so this will likely be quick. Catching up.

Hope you feel better soon.

To help out: I posted a reply to you in Post 361 above.

I also would put myself in such a list but this (not yours in particular but Lift's original post towards Pooka) just sounds nitpicky for the sake of doing it.


Aren't those two things different? You obviously would never suspect yourself as scum regardless of whether you are one or not but you can't escape the fact that you voted for Trent so this comparison seems a bit weird. Or I'm not following correctly.


I hope you feel better now.

The assumption that he has thrown the proverbial towel down as caught scum, correct? This is what annoys me - where did that assumption come from? Solely from the fact that Trent hammered himself? What about his closing words? Those made no sense in the context of him being scum so his alignment should have been still a question to you, who didn't think he was scum enough to vote. The self-hammer is scummy, OK, but there is no gain for Trent to go thespian like that and keep the façade just to mess with us (nor is he like that as a person/player but let's say you don't know him that well so you didn't know better).

This still looks weird to me and I feel you overdid it while trying to look surprised and not knowing what was about to happen.

I'm not taking that, either. Especially from you. Sorry not sorry.

That's a fair point. Nmillar seems to be back, sort of. I'm still waiting for Micro.


Not voting for Trent is one thing and completely fine in itself (even more so in hindsight). Patting the wagoneers (is that a even a word?! It is now, madafaka!!) on the back for catching scum where you failed in the way you did is a whole different story and that's the issue here. Let me ask you something else. You say you asked for a bump but got distracted and didn't use it. What were you going to say if you did make use of it?


Were you expecting different?

No news - good news. I'm still rooting for your dad!

What do you find odd about it?


Right now I'm thinking we can hold off on that NL one more day.

That was exactly the problem: I really did not read the rest of Trent's post when I wrote that. My eyes saw bolded words and rushed exactly there. I read the self-hammer, started thinking of its implications and turned off from reading the rest of his post as I hit the New Post button. Only after I submitted it I noticed that the rest of what Trent wrote did not match my assumption that self-hammer = scum.
If you want I can do a search for self-hammers in previous games, but the ones I remember having seen since game #62 (first game I kept track of, I think) they were either jester-likes (Gogtrial did that in game 65 or 66) or fully scum. I had never seen a townie self-hammer before this game.

Something akin to "Uh-oh, now that I read the rest of Trent's post it doesn't make me think scum was caught after all. Looks like I jumped the gun."
It's essentially the same explanation I gave a few times already but I suppose it would be a lesser blow to my towncred if it came before Trent's flip, am I right?

I had a much better day indeed, thank you.

Are you sure you want to head down that particular rabbit hole again? ;)

But yes, fair enough, I absolutely would say exactly the same thing as scum. Calling myself out for lurking would indeed be a smart scum move, but that implies I'm smart in the first place.

No, I'll stick with my D1 suggestion of 2 from Micro, bucktoothgamer and ZFR for now.

I'm on a business trip again. I'll write something more tonight.

Votecount the Eighth - "No"

Microfish 1 - nmillar (#337)
Joppo 1 - ZFR (#359)

Not voting 8 - pookina, Microfish, bucktoothgamer, dedoporno, GymHenson, Lifthrasil, JaiSpohpere, joppo

With 10 players 6 votes are required for lunch.

Micro and Joppo are closest to lunch at L-5.

Please check your vote (or lack thereof) and make sure I have counted it correctly.
