Dariush:'Flagrant contradiction'? If you're referring to the 2 SKs one, then I didn't say that the actual idea was far-fetched, I said that arriving at it from basically flat ground was far-fetched, which may only mean that ZU knows something about the setup we don't.
What makes you say it's this and not just that he's dumb and not thinking it through?
His entire argument relies on him telling the truth about the kill and thus safely sitting out the day with his vote on me because I got blocked and (again, assuming he tells the truth) there was no kill other than the vigkill.
What about his claim that you've been keeping to easy votes?
As to why he's scum: In addition to the stuff I mentioned earlier, his last post basically admits that he only encouraged me on my case because I was voting someone who wasn't him. The entire 'scum/SK wouldn't claim' stuff reeks of the vilest WIFOM. When I asked him about his suspicions, he vomited out a bunch of easy excuses that consisted of abstract accusations, then threw a vote my way and proceeded to forget about the other three people he accused. Scelly got replaced, sure, but his Hapah and NF cases just evaporated. Since then, he dropped even pretences of scumhunting, instead preferring explanations of Nethack symbols.
Then why haven't you been pressing him on any of this? What is it that makes you
so certain that you don't really need to dig further and can just sit on your vote the rest of the day?
Plus, he never said he was all that suspicious of NF, and he stopped hunting you because you stopped talking. It's not a great excuse for doing nothing, but it's better than yours.
ZU: What made you vote Dariush originally? Have you gained extra reasons since then? What do you think of Hapah now? NF?
I said I didn't think he had good scumhunting questions.
You know that thing you did with Dariush where you provided links and such? I wanted that for UI.
That said, I've already gone back and reread, and your reasoning sounds plausible, so I'm not really interested in that anymore. Others might, though.
Hapah:Anyone got any insights, questions, something? It really feels like we're kinda just drifting by here.
Scumhunting, perhaps?
Why is everyone wanting to lynch Dar? Do you think he's an SK? Cult? I can't read through all the posts atm to try to distill arguments. If the former, why not let him use the scroll he claimed?
If he is an SK, he might have gotten a scroll and then not used it because he was killing, so having him track tomorrow doesn't really confirm anything, just delay it.
As for
why, Bookthras is lazy and busy but doesn't like the fact that Dariush was blocked the night there was no kill, while ZU feels he was riding easy wagons and contradicting himself in his attack.
Would a nolynch be possible, or advised? Pros/cons?
Why would you even suggest this. Are you a cultist, Hapah? The pros are that we don't kill someone we don't suspect because we're too lazy to get a real suspicion. The cons are that we accomplish and learn nothing while scum gets a free night.
Bookthras:Yeah, sorry, I've been busy. I think we don't have much more to go on but the alleged lack of a night kill and the possibility of a cult that that implies. For lack of anything better, I'd say go with a lynch of Dariush for being blocked the night there was (allegedly, again) no mafia NK, but it's rather weak.
I don't have strong suspicions on the cult at the moment, though I find Tiruin's vote on ZU and Irony's vote on Native rather suspect. Either of these may be it, and I may support a lynch of either if a strong enough argument is made.
Apologies again for spotty activity. Life's a bitch sometimes.
This seems unusually passive for you. I realize there's extenuating circumstances, but even being short on time and long on distractions, popping in here to lynch someone you don't believe in and suggest you might be open to being convinced otherwise strikes me as rather odd.
Tiruin:BTW, looking at what Toaster wrote, my ?oDeath could have belonged to Mr. D.
How is the last statement possible when Mr. D was up for the first day lynch?
Why do you keep busting ZU on trivial things? I'm not sure how this is relevant to him being scum.
Unless you can show he's been lying, I guess, but you didn't outright challenge that he got anything from the pool at first, just that it could have come from Mr. D.
Also, mostly as a useless aside, my faith in ZU being town is a bit wobbly now. I could kind of see him panicking and doing strange, stupid things that led to the claim.
