Can no-assisters change their mind?

Yes, a no-assist can change. Once an assist is cast, however, it cannot be changed.

That's a nice clarification, I was actually wondering about that.

Long story short, I really don't think that either ExKirby or MagmaDeath has been overmuch scummier than the other.

ExKirby has the somewhat scummy (IMO) habit of forcing people to vote him in the ring (granted, we have to let him, but we do).

MagmaDeath has been lurking and, while I'm not strictly against lynching lurkers, he did say he'd be better tomorrow so we can let fate decide if he gets that chance.

Therefore, no assist.  If anything comes up before either the others show up or before the end of the phase that would force me to reevaluate my thinking, I will do so, but don't count on it.

Well, I suppose I'm in the same boat as Janus.  It seems to me that, since neither has distinguished themselves, and we seem to have decided against the "assist each one equally" plan, I too will state my vote as No Assist

Janus, how can it be a scum-tell? I did it Game 1 when I was town, I did it Game 2 when I was cabal. Effectivly, it's a null-tell.

Let me guess, you're joking just like Pandarsenic was in Round 2.

Round 1.

But yeah.

I just realized we DIDN'T quicklynch me while I was away in this, so I'll be no-assisting to see how it turns out.

Reminder for if I get killed: We're watching for an across-the-board, general ability of one player to do everything better, more particularly to do a specialty better if the victim has one. However, with the reduced Cabal bonuses, this won't be as dramatic, and the specialty-skills they won't even match, plus the whole relativity of attack and defense and healing and such.... speed is the only semi-reliable indicator, but even that's iffy now. If anything we're going to be detecting Archmages.

So I think straight-up scumhunting is a better option.

Bring up the WIFOM-potential here (MAYBE HE KNOWS SOMEONE'S GONNA GET PIZZOWNED) if you want but if you read the numbers you know it's true.

Nope. Round 2. I know my Wizard Duels.

Why so worried about being killed, Pandarsenic?

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

Pandarsenic, care to explain why you think someone might end up dead? More so why you think it might be you?

Something just seems off seeing that post after being quiet for a bit.

So next round is Panda Vs Someone who is probably me?

Just a quick assumption.

Org, I haven't heard from you much.

Well, 3.5 Hours to go.
It'll be interesting to see who wins.

1) Why Pandarsenic?  Other than being quieter than usual, he's not being *too* scummy.  I'm just curious about his wording for now.

2) Why you?  Do you know something the rest of us don't that would imply that you will win the duel?

Ugh. Real life sucks.

I'll go along with the no-assist this time, seems to make sense.

I solemnly swear that I will be far more active in the next round than I was in the last. Apologies all around.  :(

Things of immediate notice: Exkirby's attempt to assist himself is kind of scummy, since the rest of us aren't assisting precisely so we can get some raw data of this. Trying to screw up the numbers? That plus his automatic assumption of victory are going in the scum column for next round. For whatever it's worth, I'm getting a pretty strong town read from magma's posts, so if Kirb is scum that's really too bad.

I'll try to get in a nice big "What I Missed" post at the start of the next round. Things got pretty hectic here last week, but should calm down soon. My wife and her 8th-month+ FLAMING PREGNANCY aren't helping either.  ;D

Her pregnancy is on fire? That sounds serious, you should probably get that looked at.
