But we talked about it in BM chat and stutters claimed to be able to do something to the person above him in the thread and wanted to be below felkyr. Maybe a scum was in BM qt and decided to not let that happen which would impilcate felkyr.
I also have made no attempt to offer an opinion on geript's alignment. I have thought about it, but everything I could think of has already been said one way or the other. It's complicated and I don't think I could figure it out at the moment. Cakepie might think the same. I find this a useless/weak reason to attack Cakepie. I do not like it.
You're a completely new player in a fairly ridiculous themed game and indicated day 1 that you wouldn't lynch geript. That's understandable. cakepie seems to at least have a moderate understanding of how to play and has played in more than 1 game, had access to coaches, and observed games beforehand.
Would it be this?

Did you try to convince me they were scum and it would be better plan to use another 3. Did you nominate another 3. Did you try and find out how small the risk and whether in risk versus reward sense i claimed it was Ok?
Did you check if I 'didnt seem concerned' but had instead been deliberately as restrictive as I could in what I said? Aka as you didnt know if backlash from two was problem did you find out for sure?
As it turns out you were likely wrong about both VE and Bh, did you try and find out why i thought different? A towny question you could have asked yourself is was I right(you wrong) I wrong(you right) or scum?
Did you check out just how analytically I had exactly been in evaluating the entire tree of possibilities.
The way i tell the difference between scum and town is by the intentions behind the stuff they do do. and also by the stuff they try and do and how well.
So very many towny things you could have tried to do given the mindset you claim to have had
Please show me you trying to do towny things today.

What's the motivation in me even bothering to ask you to hold your power as mafia? geript had said multiple times that votes weren't going to matter at all for the day. If I was mafia, I would know for certain that your power would just be wasted, so why would I tell you to not use your power if I was mafia?

I have multiple scummy reason a person might do that.... Which would be most likely would believe how much misinformation you had swallowed. 0/ You are mafia and stuffed (by not having towny motives see above) when given an unusual choice. 1/ Too look busy. 2/ cant work out how else to respond so you sheep someone... 3/ emotionally speaking .... As mafia there are other things you may not know. Mafia were suddenly left not having the D1 lynch go just how they planned. 4/ I promise I made up N different powers I might or might not have that would all mean i might have done what i did at that time. BTW one of them would be VT.... 5/ That I wanted some of mafias best targets to vote for me... might well have meant town had some counter power...
What I don't see is you making towny effort as per above.
Oh BTW. I still dont believe what geript said about the votes not mattering at all.
I still believe there is information to be gained by examining who voted where when and why.
@everyone Towny points (if you think you need them) if someone can suggest that while the D1 lynch is quite a wash in terms of normal analysis of votes as scum were neither trying to drive nor disrupt Geripts lynch
How can you analyse the D1 lynch and try to glean some info about who was scum or town motivated?
It was very briefly in my fucking possession. I gave away this “The D6” item due to my “Give item” action. So I know 1 out of 2 people should have it. But I know what it is: It shuffles all the items between people holding items. It says it has a 2 turn cooldown, (but it is a 1 turn cooldown actually) because it can be used again on n3.
The item I gave to VA was so perfect for VA. Now some evul scummer might have it ;.;
Hiro, maybe you don't take me seriously because I'm an easy OMGUS for you to brush off? Or maybe I need to spell everything out because you can't be bothered to check back for other issues raised against you?
OMGUS aside, you've chosen to bank a large portion of your defense on the fact that scum would have known what is going to happen with the D1 lynch, and thus wouldn't need to deter AxleGreaser from his plan. But this is a faulty argument. What we have here is role madness, or -- to use your own words -- a "fairly ridiculous themed game", so there is no way for scum to really know ahead of time what would happen in an interaction between the mass vote rig and some other unknown (AG's) power. Among other scenarios, what if BH survives and the vote rigging is revealed? Or the intended vote rig goes awry due to other redirection? Scared scum might worry about losing control over the outcome of the D1 lynch that they thought they had in the bag.
As I see it, "BH & VE scum" is not a valid reason. AG has eloquently explained that there are any number of alternative/additional actions that a seriously concerned townie could have done to pursue the matter if they were worried about conferring advantages to hypothetically scum BH and/or VE.

That doesn't explain the spacing around Felkyr, who as it turns out was the pivot point of the rotation from Felkyr-Stutters-Onegu into Onegu-Stutters-Felkyr. Coincidence? Yeah right.

This provides an interesting avenue for inquiry.
The other thing of course, is your persistent tunnel on BH that has no serious follow up. It's been brought up by BH and others so I didn't see a need to mention it again, but apparently I need to be explicit about everything, so here goes.
First you finger him for his conduct with cora, followed by random yelling at people to vote him. That's hardly a persuasive way to build a wagon that you are serious about. Then, you call BH's vote on geript "opportunistic":
On August 31 2013 07:44 HiroPro wrote: This post in particular appears very suspicious. There's no evidence to indicate that BH had any prior suspicion of geript and he doesn't even attempt to offer any sort of reason for lynching geript. Think about this carefully - what's the first reaction that a town player would likely have when they see someone claim "unlynchable". They'd either think that it's a ludicrous claim or they'd start wondering why someone would claim this (as either alignment).
How about, calling geript's bluff? He's been known to claim ridiculous things before. Scummy play + ludicrous claim -> why not test that claim?
"opportunistic" is pretty weak sauce.
Subsequently you stick to "BH scum" but don't actually try to persuade anyone about your case on him -- even before it is clear that we'd get a geript majority and his redirect on BH. (See also, "BH scum, AG don't do it" without any effort to follow up)
You know what's worse than not explicitly giving a stance? Pretending to have a stance.
Stutters is mentioned again after #31 but before replacements. ???
The last point above is no longer true, the stray extra mention no longer exists. Can a host please confirm that the additional mention was in error and has thus been rectified?
