Pmj could just be Vanilla Town and lying.
I wasn't lying about anything. The semantics argument is a thing whether people want to buy in to it or not. Retrospectively, I agree that my comment was ambiguous and probably made me look scummy AF, but I posted hastily and just before going to bed after an incredibly long day.
To reiterate, I was merely stating a fact: lynching me would be bad for town. Emphasis was on "Bad" (underlining) to drive the point home very clearly.
Perception / reality.
I can see how some people assume that was me soft-claiming, but (and without trying to make anyone suck eggs here) arriving at that conclusion does not make it fact. It is an opinion. The
fact is that I am town. There, I've fucking said it. Yawn. I'm not the doctor; I'm not a PR. I'm town.
As for my posting videos, yeah – that was me just giving up. Cheese made a good argument against me and RB drove the final nail into the coffin. I’ve backed myself into a corner I didn’t assume I’d get out of. Fuck, I even agree with Rook: lynching me is a good move, because it would get rid of a lot of the ambiguity surrounding the situation.
I sincerely thought that I’d been protected during the night. It didn’t enter my mind that there was some kind of roleblock taking place. I’m not saying that Cheese is lying (seriously – you can’t fake that enthusiasm
) but I would ask Cheese to bear in mind that if there’s no role to block…
It makes no sense that the daleks wouldn’t make a kill.
To me, it makes more sense that I was targeted for an NK because someone read too much in to my alleged soft-claim but it failed because I was subsequently protected... but that would make Cheese a fibber, and I genuinely believe the guy. Unless of course he's just
fucking amazing at faking enthusiasm.
It’s an impossible situation and all logical options point to me. The real dalek must be laughing his or her ass off at this utter clusterfuck. Seriously, I’m banning myself from participating in future games. I'm bloody useless.
Before heading out earlier I reviewed Happy’s posts and mulled them over for a bit. Specifics aside (Ni mode: engage!) he seems very ‘fuzzy’ somehow. He hopped aboard my RB bus when it was clear that it wasn’t really going anywhere. OMGUS or not, I sincerely believed that RB was scum during day one. From my perspective, he was tunnelling the shit out of a town (me) and was therefore suspicious. Seriously, look at some of his day one ‘Scum move #x’ claims against me. Most are rather lacking.
But I digress… I no longer think that RB is scum. If he is, he deserves an award for his performance thus far.
As I have already said, I do not suspect
Minuend. Her play reminds me of Yellow, actually. She’s reasoned and so far has been on the ball. She picked up on Helv when he hadn’t even registered on my radar.
Rook seems eager to push for a pmj lynch, but I can see his reasoning. I can’t say I blame him tbh.
Latte… I don’t know. He’s obviously an experienced player. If he is scum, I’m not yet seeing any tells.
John is basically nowhere to be seen. He turns up to aid RB’s causes and then promptly fucks off again. To me, the likelihood of an RB / John scumteam was rapidly increasing during day one. I now concede that it's highly unlikely RB is scum, and so I therefore conclude that either
Happy or
John are hiding something. My bet is on Happy, because he’s done a lot of dancing around without contributing much. He didn’t contribute much on day one and justified this by saying:
Happy said:
Also, to clarify, there's been discussion on my selfish playing. That's really just me wanting to get survive day 2 to set a personal best I tend to die early in this game. This isn't a comment on whether I'm scum or town. I'm on team Happy until day 2 if I make it that far.
I mean, that may be fairly innocuous... but it could also be giving him an out for staying in the background.
I note that there was quite a bit of suspicion around him at the beginning of the game. Firstly, he set up a ‘rules of engagement’. Not too suspect in and of itself, but he is entitling himself to not participate during certain hours. In his defence however, he clearly states that any questions etc. can be fired to him within a certain timeframe… so that checks out – ish.
Cheese picked up on this point quite early on in the game however, and I have to join him in raising my eyebrow:
Happy said:
At the moment, I'm probably the most unlikely player to secretly be a hunk of metal on wheels. The reasoning here is that I am a substitute player. This indicates that having refused the role given to them, the player that surrendered their place in the game is likely to have gotten a dud role. This is not absolute, obviously, but it's the most likely scenario, and by that probability, I'd suggest eliminating me as a prime suspect for now at least, and focusing attention on others.
This is the only actual evidence we have to work with at the moment, so lets work with it.
This isn’t really a solid case at all. It’s equally likely that someone may have given up a
demanding role due to time constraints.
Couple this with his ‘rules of engagement’ post and things, to me at least, begin to look a little fishy.
Then he didn't vote Helv when the Helv train was going down (FYI, I was in bed at the time; Happy wouldn't have been, and by my estimation would in fact have been around and active as per his hours cited in the rules of engagement post). Now however he's merrily jumped onto the pmj train with everyone else. A low risk tactic, unlikely to arouse any suspicion given the circumstances.
So, he doesn't vote for scum when he had the opportunity to, but he'll quickly jump on a town train. Hmm.
Throughout the game he has suspected most people at one point or another, but he’s only ever voted for RB when the RB train clearly (much to my dismay) wasn’t going anywhere, and now me. My vote remained on RB because he was legitimately the most scummy to me at the time. I do tend to tunnel people. Sorry.
(>.>)
Happy’s vote remained on RB for what reason? Without much in the way of provocation from RB, he pretty much mirrored my argument in a rather wishy-washy manner, uttered something about "Three scenarios" he thought of in the shower (was this ever expanded upon?) and then promptly fucked off. I mean, fair enough - Helv's fate had been sealed and all, but...
eh.
There’s just something off about him, and I implore other players to check him out too. If you want a clean victory, don’t fuck your chances up by lynching me. I totally get that I’m a logical choice for various reasons – but I’m not the
right choice. More than that I obviously cannot say, as everyone’s role is an unknown. Save for Cheese ofc, CC pending.
I’ll continue to think on it (Happy), but right now I have approximately 3,456 items of housework to complete.
One thing I can say for sure is this: If I were the last dalek, I would have PMed Yellow to end the game, or ended it myself if she hadn't been around, by outing myself. It would have been pointless to carry on with the odds so clearly stacked against me. I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time. Believe it or not, I'm not a
complete dick
I can't make that call however because I'm town. You shan't find yourselves in an end-game scenario if I am lynched.
There was some talk with Yellow about swapping me out for someone else. It's a 'meh' thing to say but I had noted my concerns with her via PM re: work etc., but decided to continue "For another day" to see what happened. I'm trying to learn / contribute as much as I can with the time I have. I apologise for creating such a shit-storm, but yeah, RB - I guess I am this shit. I doubt you're surprised by this
By all means we can request a speed-lynch and let you get on with things if you think it'll help... but if you really want that perfect record, you need to keep looking. For now, my money is on Happy.
/Unvote John
/Vote Happy
But you're both also going to die.
