Well, I will now take a deep breath. Interesting posts and lots of speculation. And all this talk of statistics and random numbers, interesting, but hardly grounds for a conviction and the ultimate penalty. pieisgood does seem to be all over the map but I think his thoughts are innocent enough. Griffey seems to be calm and rational. Arutha seems mysterious. ck is very quiet yet aggresive. Muddog, hmmm not sure. Yaw, very analytical, but seemingly neutral. Auntiesocial has also been quiet but the flu has that effect. (hope your feeling better) However as she did make a accusation to my predecessor kaeis, in her stead I must vote Auntiesocial

nonbeliever
I may what? If you mean edit the initial post, it's far better that I don't do that. It wouldn't look good if I were messing with that. Also, as there technically isn't a mod listed for this forum, I'm not convinced I'm able to modify the initial post.
Looking forward to hearing Hilly's take on the game thus far. Without Maverick, anyone have any ideas for replacements for jacopo7531?

kronus, tamara, and dragonfly seem to be on a lot, perhaps nonny could ask them directly in case they are interested in stepping in. P.S. Welcome aboard, Hilly ;D

It's been a day since the last post. What's wrong? I tried asking around a bit yesterday, but haven't been able to come up with a second replacement yet. Anyone else have any luck? Oh, and to get some conversation going...Hilly, isn't it a bit late for an OMGUS (Oh My God You Suck) vote?

That would be cool if Mistwalker did decide to join. As I recall, his computer crapped out on him in the middle of the last game, so he really didn't get a chance. Bad computer.

Oh no, the FOS and OMGUS is pointed in my direction! What to do? What to do?
I'm really trying not to join a bandwagon at this time. I'm so concerned that we will be hanging one of our "townies" out to dry. There is a lot of suspicion, and not all of it is unfounded, in my opinion. I think this discussion of statistics and probabilities may be a ploy to keep us off guard.
I'm still not certain who to trust... I concede that ck's nonchalance is odd, as is pieisgood's behaviour... but Yaw is also acting a wee bit strange and in one instant appears to want the blood of one of our number while countering and cautioning against a hasty decision.
A bad decision could be the lives of us all. The end-times appear to upon us!
Still, we have little knowledge of Hilly. He (and his predecessor) have been somewhat aloof. I can understand his suspicion of me, but my "accusation" didn't accompany a vote ... afterall, it is possible that I may have missed seeing Hilly (kaeis).
I feel that there is much pressure (from several directions) to cast a vote, a judgement of death. I fear that doing so may result in the untimely demise of an innocent.
What to do? What to do??

This game has seriously slowed to a crawl. Perhaps we could get ahold of one of the newer members of the board; they might enjoy playing, but are maybe shy about signing on?

I do understand that. And I recognize that it is difficult on the first day to string up a scum, rather than a townie. The problem with not lynching, though, is that not only could a bad decision mean all of our lives, no decision could mean all of our lives. The scum are probably going to kill tonight (unless our doctor is very good at guessing who to protect, and I hope he/she is). If we don't lynch, we lose our chance to kill the Catholics. Killing the scum is the only way that we'll survive.
If you have suspicions, voice them. I think we're still in the process of gathering information and trying to figure out who the scum are. I advocated bandwagoning because it is a good way to generate information about players -- both by seeing how the bandwagonned person reacts, and by seeing who bandwagons and why. I am not in any way advocating lynching blindly. But for all of our sakes, we have to lynch someone, and we have to do our best to contribute to the discussion so that we are lynching scum.
I'll admit to being on the fence about ck, days after his last post. He was acting the scummiest when the bandwagon started. I just don't know how to process his fatalistic response. I still see it as a "WTF?", and I'd personally prefer a little more information to confirm an actual lynch vote (although at present he still seems to be our best choice). Anyone want to try luring him back in here from About.com's chat rooms tonight?
(By the way, do you think either of the marsupials would want to join this game, AuntieSocial? Or perhaps someone else on PalTalk might be interested?)

Yaw I know we need to lynch someone... it's the who I'm not sure about. As I said, ck and Arutha are acting suspiciously. It could be that they are siblings or that they are co-scum. I note that no one else has really joined their wagon ride. They certainly appear to be together in this.
However, with ck's fatalistic outcry, wouldn't Arutha come to his defense in either case? If ck died, Arutha would surely be filled with grief (if they are siblings) and if they are scum, I'm sure that Arutha would want ck's continued support in the scumminess. But he isn't trying to preserve ck's life. Maybe Arutha is scum and saw joining ck as a way to discredit him in our eyes.
Yaw seems somewhat suspicious to me because he is always trying to push for a death. BUT, the fact that he wanted to hold off on a final kill until everyone was active also points in the other direction. Afterall, the scum would surely try to use the lack of participation by a few to their advantage, wouldn't they?
Then there is pieisgood ... he who voted for himself in the beginning ... could this have been a ploy to make us overlook his underlying cunningness? He has openly declared that he has experience in rooting out scum ... perhaps he really KNOWS who the scum are and is trying to label ck and Arutha as such to be rid of their involvement.
I'm soooo confused. Only yesterday we were a peaceful community with tolerance for one another ... Now look at us!!
It's interesting you bring the marsupials up ... I sent them an e-mail (when I was home at lunch, I love my new job's location), and told them of our need. I told them to PM nonny if they are interested.
I haven't been on PalTalk much of late (not feeling well & all) but I plan to be on there for a bit tonight. I know that one individual voiced some interest during the last game (until he read my death scene and thought that I had set the bar too high for him). I will see if he is still interested.

AuntieSocial But if you look on page 6 of this thread, you'll see that Arutha posted an away message before ck's fatalistic outcry. Arutha will be back on Sunday, he says. We can't really make any conclusion about his behaviour with respect to ck at the moment because we know he's away. When he gets back, though, I agree it's worth looking into this. AuntieSocial GMTA, eh? I hope we find someone soon.

Oy. My original vote on you was random. The "he was mafia the last time" comment was intended as a joke.
I'm voting for you now because of your posting habits. I think it's suspicious that you are posting just enough to be here, but not actually providing any content with your posts. It's like you're trying to blend in, and at the same time trying very hard not to make mistakes.
As for being scum twice in a row, since nonbeliever assigned the roles the same way I did -- that is, completely randomly -- it isn't out of the question. It is a definite possibility, as much a possibility as any one of us being assigned a scum role. We have to consider these possibilities as being legitimate, because if we don't, we risk being screwed.
Now, can you explain this post?
ck
I've been trying to parse it for four days now. It's still weird to me.
