Good, good.

Anyways, people it's easy: Everybody start drafting from [7,X] up

I'll choose a number between 1 and 6 for the draft, and I want to be first.
All of you just choose numbers from 7 onwards and that's it!

Think about it....
Right now, some people will choose 1,2,3,4,etc.
Imagine the guy that went first got [1,1], the second [2,2], the third [3,3], etc.
What if they started choosing from [7,7] though?
The first one after me would get [7,1], the second [8,2], the third [9,3]
As you can see the relative positions are the same!

Thus, if everybody follows this method, EVERYTHING is exactly the same....except I get first place, get inventor, and win the game for town (/scum) and invent the best inventatorial inventions ever!

If anybody chooses something below 7 they should be considered confirmed scum/3P so we just kill them!


Pff I'm a genius I know....stop clapping please! You'll make me blush!
Oh you!


EDIT: I won't say which number from 1-6 I'll choose to stop some whippersnappers from getting my 1st place, even if they try a number below 7!

Do you think he has a point? Do you think I am scum?

Hmm, my Artanis lynch seems to have quite a bit of resistance. Interesting (not to say those resisting are scum though. I have some slight town reads on some resisting it, which makes it even more "interesting").

So let's try something different:

I have the ability to kill someone this D1

So, get to it town.
Who should I kill?

More importantly, for certain players (snoman, etc), convince me why I shouldn't just kill you right now.

I hope EVERYBODY tells me in detail who they want me to kill, why, how that affects their lynch candidate, or if they want me to keep my KP for later and not use it.
This is your chance to get your SCUMREAD KILLED 100%, if you are good at convincing both me and town (but mostly me); so this is your chance to step up your game and actively try to get your scumread killed (no hiding behind "parking your vote" or shit like that)

"But gonzaw, why haven't you killed Artanis yet?"

Because I'm not an idiot. I prefer some discussion on these kind of players. If someone is active or semi-active and I find him suspicious or even as scum, it's more important to see how other people react, see town sentiment on that guy, and at worst be convinced against killing him if he's somehow town, plus creating discussion and the like.
Also apparently people are not convinced by my case. I think killing him D1 without any feedback from town would have been a bad idea in retrospect, even if he flipped scum

I may or may not kill him this D1. I still prefer him for lynch instead.

So snoman, Shevlocke, RO, maybe rayn/VE/Caller/Palmar/Sharrant/etc. Show me this D1 why I shouldn't just kill you right now.
Also of course post who you want killed, or if you don't want me to kill anybody just yet. Failing to do so may result in a little symptom....called being shot/nuked through your head

"But gonzaw, why complain about others vigging someone, if you could kill them yourself?"

Because I'm not an idiot
I want Snoman, etc to make a stance and have a chance to prove to us they are town and scumhunt before just blindly killing them.
I hoped they'd do something by now but that failed. Hopefully this doesn't.

"But gonzaw, why claim now?

I reread the roles and I don't see anything that can "fuck up" with a day KP (other than maybe "Showtime!", but that can fuck us at any time, and (of course), a day vig/Assassin used on me)
Plus I feel there's not much going on. Many people oppose my Artanis case, so that's going nowhere. People are suspicious of some other players, but it just keeps it there, specially if those players are not doing anything else currently or maybe not even show up.
I feel this D1 is kind of stagnated, and I don't like it. I mean there are like 9 different people having votes on them right now, there's no consolidation, both in votes and in thread sentiment. Some people have even parked their vote on some random guys (yamato on Palmar, Sharrant on Keirathi) and they seem to keep it there.
Some people are just coasting through not doing shit and feeling no pressure. I think it may be time to change that.
I tried changing that up with the Artanis case, but it seems it hasn't worked.
Let's see if this changes anything.
