... about 7 hours to end of D. Nothing has changed since my last post. No one speaks for extends yet, no one speaks of anything else....
I now need to consider how I want to use my vote for end of D.
My current strong scum reads, across the entire game, are Rolepgeek and Deathsword-now-Tiruin. Presuming this silent apathy continues, neither is possible to lynch as the board currently stands.
I do not say that Tiruin's Scummy too - there's been no time for that player to show anything of their play in this game as a player. But she holds a role that looked incredibly scummy to me before - if it was possible to lynch either Rolepgeek or Deathsword-now-Tiruin, one of those two would have my vote now to help ensure that lynch.
I have three choices. zombie urist really has the power, it's his call to say what happens, if this game 'mod extends' again or what. However, he is going to allow this game to go to the last second, -again- before he reveals his choice in that regard. Therefore I have to prepare my choice, in case his choice is to let the D end. I will say that the entirety of this game has now fully passed from 'neat' to 'aggravating' to me. I feel like the rules are unpredictably changing, that I'm very close to the only player that cares about this game AND is trying to actively play it, and I feel like I'm being jerked around - possibly not purposefully, but that's the result; I and my play are being jerked around in several different ways and there's precious little I can do about it, short of refusing to continue to play and asking for a replacement too - which I also refuse to do.
I do not trust anyone to be active in this thread in time before D end. I will remain periodically active throughout the day, so I am responsive if people actually start posting. Note that it will take MULTIPLE people to vote an extension through, with or without my help and it is only an IF that zombie MAY decide to mod extend. Thus I am both forced to play WIFOM with SILENCE from almost everyone, -and- I'm forced to prepare for a D end that may or may not be Mod extended -AGAIN-, despite rules talking about how if extensions are not used there will be no further extensions - and that this extension has essentially gone unused. Furthermore - Darvi's been essentially silent for 2 weeks now, making the role he owns silent or essentially silent for 3 of the 4 weeks this game has been played over. OMGU(all)S - everyone. That's how I feel right now about this game overall. By the rules we are even supposed to be currently ineligible for further extensions - because we haven't USED this current one!
So, the freaking vote, which apparently I, Robot am the only player that seriously cares about:
I can allow a tie, which currently exists. I can do this by not changing my vote, or by unvoting, which would turn a three way tie into a two way tie; no significant difference.
I can switch my vote to Superblackcat. I do think he's a very weak, probably Town player. I'm not sure he's Town, but if he's Scum he's doing a FANTASTIC job of making me think he's a very weak probably Town player - I can't see him as having an actual Scum role and doing exactly what he's done - period. I can support his lynch because he's a very weak player who's shown a lot of Scumminess - that's a reasonable lynch. And I know I could be wrong and he could be Scum. I was willing to see his roleflip a few days ago, when my only choice seemed to be to create a tie or permit him to be a probable mislynch, or try to guarantee him as a probable mislynch.
I can switch my vote to Griffinpup-became-Darvi. I have asked for this role to be modkilled after a week of silence. Instead it was replaced. I got no read I could understand on Darvi during the week he spoke - except that he was interested in helping us learn how to play. Appreciated, but a null-tell. However, that role has again been silent. And stayed silent. For TWO MORE WEEKS. THIS ROLE HAS BEEN SILENT FOR THREE WEEKS OF PLAY AND THE MOD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
I asked for that role to be modkilled. That didn't happen. That role is now a possible lynch target, if everyone stays as inactive as they consistently stay.
Fine.
Darvi-who-holds-Griffinpup's-role. If you won't be modkilled or even FREAKING AUTOMATICALLY REPLACED within two-more-weeks-of-nearly-utter-silence, then you can be lynched today.
I don't have ANY idea if you're Scum or not - you're null-tell to me. This game as a WHOLE is jerking my chain so much, I no longer care. I do want the game to end or be cancelled - I do want to see roleflips - I do want closure. I'm ready to move this game towards end, win or lose.
Deathsword and Rolepgeek - you are interested in seeing how I break? -This- is how I break. I break not from player pressure, but from inconsistent application of rules, especially over time. I break from generalized apathy around me combined with feeling a complete inability to predict the outcome of my own or others choices - because rules are not being consistently applied and enforced, and indeed change 'as needed' over time. *spits*
Yes, mod, I am yelling at -you-. I'm so annoyed at this game for a whole bunch of reasons which include your inconsistent application of the game's rules that I'm tempted to make two posts for the pure purpose of editing each of them to see if you'd enforce -that- rule at least.
I will be creating a new deadchat for new dead people.
Will the old dead people also have access to the new deadchat? Should I end up dead before the end of the game, there's a few things I'd like to attempt to discuss with one or both of the old dead.
