I'm sure there had to have been a mistake, you do notice it has been edited ;)

Alright yes, at first it said PookaMustard had zero votes.

AND I accidentally edited the old votecount instead of copying it to a new window so I had to rewrite the story text from memory.

Puzzlebot stamps the words "clever dick" onto The Canton Calf's forehead. He looks very smug.

Huh.

20 hours later and there's nothing for me to respond to. This is a first.

So without further ado, since we are closing to the deadline, blotunga seems to be the most likely pick for the reasons stated before by ZFR.

@mod vote blotunga

Yeah, I've been back to the thread a couple of times hoping for more posts too. Now this is how I remember GOG mafia! Not pages and pages of essays, but an almost complete drought of activity, games that last 6 months!
That was the origin of my Reckless Abandon™ policy.

p.s. Is there a reason you @ the mod with all your votes?

I'll be surprised if this game lasts another half month.

I @ the mod with all my votes and bold them to make sure they not only stand out, but are also serious votes. It's basically the way I handle votes after the voting/vroting mess in D1.

That's because our saviour Joe's rigid enforcement of deadlines. We had some games that were ridiculously slow in the past.

Fair enough. I'm content with bolding as it's pretty hard to do that by accident. I think not requiring bolding is a slippery slope to retconning votes an all sorts of shenanigans. The @mod seems overkill, but there's nothing wrong with a little belt 'n' braces.

Sorry @all, was doing a lot worse than anticipated yesterday, plus Internet connection still iffy (argh!). On the brighter side, my ISP implemented sort of a temporary, not particularly satisfying, fix this afternoon until we revisit the matter tomorrow again, so my connection should be somewhat less problematic (at least I hope so).

Off to catch up.

Bloody internet connection! Got sick and tired seeing that "connecting" and "waiting for gog.com" every time I try to open something in a new tab.


I read your use of the term "considered" as you saying that I agreed with you at the time; sorry. Since we agree that I didn't - yes, I did explore your theory as I found your fixation interesting and odd, and wanted to understand why and how you thought things fit, while trying to discern what mind-set it all may be coming from. And yes, trentonlf reacted very differently, and he wasn't the only one to react differently, but is that really an indicator of anything regarding myself? trentonlf and I have vastly different play-styles as either alignment; the same applies to you, and everybody else, and me.

Regarding Korotan - yes, buddying-up wasn't the correct term to use, and I concur, what I said about Korotan, though my honest view of him and his play, isn't really AI.


I guess you're ruling out it might have been a subtle nudge that didn't click with supplementscene, or that it might have been clever distancing on SirPrimalform's part?



[emphasis added]

*raises eyebrow*

I don't doubt that you wanted to be in whatever game JoeSapphire was modding, I am, however, questioning as what alignment you're in it.

The crucial bit of info in my post that should have caught your attention first isn't that the list was linked to in the sign-up OP, but that it was linked to in this very thread [emphasis added]:

It's Microfishd's post #340 I'm referring to. So, even accepting that you didn't pay attention to the sign-up OP, I'm more than inclined to think that you selectively read the thread, as evidenced here with my very post; missing that part of my post gives your explanation somewhat of a leg to stand on.
And looking at the link you gave, it's... interesting that when you saw Microfishd's flip, your first thought was to wander off this forum and spend time on a general search for info on the role instead of, or at least additionally to, going back and checking the game-thread which in turn would/should have led you to the sign-up thread (though it's not a prerequisite to know what the roles in play are).



So, you're saying that you took what SirPrimalform said as confirmation of him not only having checked the roles list but also having found nothing, so didn't check yourself, and just went with it. The same SirPrimaform who's exhibited like zero evidence he's actually caught up with and following the game-thread, and the same SirPrimalform you've had in your top suspects the whole game and were voting for on D3. D3 where you were very willing to vote supplementscene based on ZFR's catch, but didn't want to hammer him at the time so that we could get the most out of the situation before lynching him, and then did your part by... leaving right after making that post.

It's also interesting that you (sort of) addressed the other part of my post by replying to ZFR, and seeing that you base your vote on his arguments, it feels like you're trying to get on his good side now.


Vote PookaMustard


Since deadline is tomorrow, I'll see if I can get on my neighbours wi-fi if my Internet connection problem isn't resolved.


*crossed fingers the post gets through without hiccups*

*gently reaches out and pushes your eyebrow down*

Hmm, the beginning of D2... was that when I was ill? I almost certainly read it along the way but I must not have clicked the link or really remembered it. If you think that is AI then there's not much I can do about it.

I don't see what him being my top suspect have to do with him saying he didn't notice the whole psychoanalyst thing. In fact, I'd like to say that it was only brought up as interesting by you, while the rest of the players kind of shrugged.

Whatever I could have said after that post, was already said. There was really no room for me to add anything more to the topic; scene just happened. What more do you need? The only thing I could do was "I agree with X and Y." Say hello to the next quote.

Same argument as the quote above. Besides, who said agreeing with what he said means I am "trying to get on his good side now"? Whether I stand by my theory or not, he has a point about blotunga that I don't have a reason to question as it makes sense. The way I see it, you seem too eager to build up to that...

And I couldn't shake off that nagging feeling that I've created for you the perfect opportunity to drive me out of the game. To all others, if you read me as scum, does it make sense for me to be that out in the wild? Would you believe my constant stumbling to be scummy? I for one wouldn't have put up that theory about ZFR/trent if I was. I'd be night coached to hell and back - does any of my posts appear to be the work of someone who was night coached? I still have no idea what scene's self destruct means, apart from the possibility that it could have been used to drive attention away from blotunga.

Did it work? Probably, if I get two more votes, he may continue to live. Wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't NK4.

Since the level of interaction with scene is now enough to incriminate me...and then we got Microfish who was done for his analysis but not HSL who seems like a logical next if not a logical first before Micro, I might as well quickly ISO HSL and see how often it is that he questions scene and on what points. Plus, nobody seems to realize I have yet to grasp the full scale of the game; especially the whole bit with counterclaiming.

Captain Sapphire's eyes widen in shock and horror. The screen reads "Welcome, Vice-Mayor Sarina Mahmood."
The shot flicks between a close-up of Captain Sapphire's eyes and a close-up of the words a few times.
