Fascinating. I'm out of RVS as of now.

Unvote: No Lynch

Vote: dreamler7

Unvote Flub.

That escalated quickly.

Unofficial Vote Count, to see how things stand. Any mistakes are the fault of the one voting, for not voting to make this vote count.

Bookwyrm - Brasas
Brasas - Dessimu
drealmer - Agent, Flub
flubbucket - Lift, Drealmer

Not voting - Wyrm

Wow. I feel vaguely ashamed for being the only person without a vote on the table.
Uhh... Vote Dessimu? He's pretty good at being scum, and he hasn't made any big mistakes yet.

Bookwyrm - Brasas
Brasas - Dessimu
Dessimu - Wyrm
drealmer - Agent, Flub
flubbucket - Lift, Drealmer

Whew. That's a relief.

How, how can you call this magnificent Italian body a scum, eh? My soul is pure, my heart is on fire. Love... Love is what I seek. To hold my beloved strong in these arms, to feel her warm breath and the heart beating like wings of a humming bird.

But this place is disgraced with foul creatures. No safety, no joy. No one to spread tango rythms anymore. Get rid of the scum we shall and then I am off to enjoy life with my beloved.

Now, where is my steed?

I believe that you do, indeed, want to feel the heart beating like wings of a humming bird.

Funny group we are.

Unvote

This is not the end, it's not even the beginning of the end. It is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

But really, I think it's just Flub and Drealmer reigniting the flame... on a tree, K I S S I N G ...

Yo Flub, Drealmer, either of you Queen fans?

You're all too predictable!

except you!

yep I like Queen a good amount!

Love you too Steven :)

Assuming Vitek is also a Queen fan and will be around with an electric prod eventually, I'd like to ask my two fellow "not on the wagon of either of the two jokers" - like me - what they think if 'role fishing', or 'overeaction' to same, is more worthy of being put under the magnifying glass in this summer sun - for more concentrated roasting of the L-1 variety.

Yes, I do mean the Wyrm and the Romantic Tartaruga. Voices of experience and all that. While you're at it, do Lift and Flub tend to buddy buddy? Inquiring minds want to know.

And anyone seen the Archimedian Canuck?

tl;dr I'm not sure what to make of this push into counter-push.

Long version:
Drealmer has been on offense for pretty much the whole game (all 39 posts of it!). He was the first to place a second vote on a wagon, and he was the first to place someone at L-1 (Wyrm and Flub, respectively). He's been hard after a claim from someone (anyone?). This feels unusual to be coming from him, but when I stop to think of alternatives for pushing the game forward, I can't come up with anything. I'm torn between "he's different" and "he's supposed to be changing it up".

I don't care for the role fishing, though. Assuming the roles use the restrictions we usually use (and double checking Macho on mafiawiki), then the cop and the doctor will be killed on the night following their claim (unless both claim on the same Day, in which case it depends on the scum team's priorities).

Flub's delay in reacting to being at L-1 before ultimately counter voting Drealmer feels odd. I'm feeling a sort of younger brother to the confusion I felt when he pulled that Day 3 LAL vote on me last game. Unfortunately, I couldn't read Flub if my life depended on it (and I flash right back to last game, where it did).

Lift was the second person to place the second wagon vote and third wagon vote on someone (Flub and Drealmer). Lift's vote to push Drealmer to L-1 feels like his usual aggressive play. While I wouldn't have predicted it happening, I'm completely unsurprised at his vote. I've seen him do it as both town and scum, so I consider it a non-indicator by itself, especially when there is so little information on the table.

I don't see the push on Drealmer as scum buddy play between Flub and Lift; each feels like they've come to their vote through their own means. This doesn't preclude one of them being scum, but I doubt both are.

Just fishing. Because I've got a craaazy idea I'm not sure yall will like. And I'm the noob afterall.

But since you went to the trouble - much appreciated - although I would also be interested in Dess's comments let me spill the beans. What I'd really like to know is where Agent is and what he's smoking, and to have more from Lift and Drealmer. As in, why so happy to keep the L-1 this long from the first, and what he thinks of claiming at L-1 now from the second.

I do also see Drealmer as being in character so to speak - even with the brinkmanship bandwagonning he did - but that says nothing of his alignment to me. Which brings me to The Plan (Trademark) - I say we pull the trigger on the man and let him Dream On. A better wagon than this in D1 I can't imagine - it's a really neat trail you know?

So here goes...

Vote Agent

For reasons of being MIA and taking two drags before passing.

Scared you? :P

Are you talking about me?!?

Guess so...


Explanation: I am away from home 7-5 every day, and GOG is blocked at work. Also, I can't usually post in the morning, I don't have the time. Evenings are pretty much my only time.

Also, I've never smoked a thing in my life. :P


Unvote

I voted him for his hair, and that is not a legitimate reason to lynch someone. Not at this point...
I don't much like his fishing, and he seems to be ignoring things in an unusual manner, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

Rushed votecount for your pleasure:

drealmer – 2 - flubbucket, Lifthrasil
agentcarr – 1 - Brasas
Brasas – 1 - Dessimu
Dessimu - 1 - Bookwyrm
Flubbucket – 1 – drealmer

not voting – agentcarr

With 7 players it takes 4 to lynch or 3,5 to dance Macarena.

Drealmer is closest to lynch with 2 votes at L-2.

Everyone is happy that substantial part of the Day has already passed.

Well had I been awake at 0300 my time I would have responded. My response was at the beginning of the day as I patiently waited for coffee to brew.

You pointing to "my delay" is a stretch at best.


Why would you hesitate??

Have you not noticed his obvious quiescence since asking for a role claim??

Yes, I've noticed, and I don't like it. But there's no deadline, right? I don't see the rush, at the moment.
