Ignoring mysteriously absent people can get you killed. It won't always work - for instance, I'm always active, as scum or town, unless I'm very busy. Org is never useful to any team as any alignment. But for others, it works better. Never assume anyone to be town.

I couldn't tell Orgs alignment in any situation. And he's active, meaning he will do something in response (unlike the others)
Glyph -should- post soon, I assume, but if they don't resurface soon, we'll have to do lurkerlynching (which I don't like to do)

Glyph said earlier that he had his final exam or something coming up on Monday or Tuesday and didn't want to hurt the results by spending too much time on the forums. So, he's got a reason for his absence.

CobaltKobold has apparently been offline for 2 days, surprising weekend happenings I presume. It'd be nice to hear your evaluation of the situation. Do you still think that Nirur Torir should be lynched?

I think Nirur is playing a courage game with us, but yeah, only if he's that kind of person.
I'll consider that.

Errol: Why Org? Because we can allow this gamble, or he deserves it?

I stated my reason on the last page. All in all, he doesn't act thaat scummy. And lynching him would mean losing an active player, which would be... bad. He isn't off the radar but out of the crosshairs.

Org is because I can't read him. And because he's Org. And some scummy stuff in the past. And because I don't have a better proposal. Lynching the offline players would be mean, I don't know what to think of Rooster, LASD simply doesn't drop any scumtells whatsoever...

I hate to join a bandwagon, but I'm going to have to agree with Org. His perpetual null-tells make him a liability at Lylo.

1. As said earlier, Glyph has a stated reason for her absence and, thus, isn't being prodded so she can do what she needs to.

2. Extensions until Wednesday will be accepted with 0 requests and 0 objections (aka, if no one objects before the current deadline)

3. Whenever someone is away, either for an accepted reason, or lurking, its' best to let them return (in the former, just waiting for them.  The latter, request a Prod from the Mod).  The second they return, charge at them, HEAD ON.

Thus the goal of a lurker hunt shouldn't be to lynch a lurker, but to out them.  Keep pushing other people, but remember the lurker so you can jump on them the second they show their face (and if they never do, keep requesting prods/replaces until they do show up or are removed).

Once they DO show up, attack.

Oh yes, and weekends are considered lax in attendance due to RL getting in the way for some (i.e. myself last weekend).  I DO expect everyone to show up on Monday unless they already said otherwise (Glyph BETTER NOT show up till Tuesday).

Btw, consider this good practice.  Sometimes you may be in a game where one day may last a long time.  Be prepared to fill it, even if you have to go back to RandomVotes with joke reasons.  Long days full of scumhunting is very pro-town BUT it can quickly lead to a worn-out, lurky town which is basically suicide.

Current Vote Count:
Rooster[2]: GlyphGryph, Org
Nirur Torir[2]: Rooster, CobaltKobold
Org[3]: LASD, Errol, Nirur Torir


Deadline: Monday, 9pm EST

Extension to Wednesday accepted if there are 0 Objections at the time of Deadline.

For a moment at least. I've been busy all day, picking up groceries from costco and a normal store, finding a professor not at his office hours for last term's paper, studying for said paper...

I'm getting suspicious of LASD and Glyph, simply because they're not drawing attention to themselves in a game where most people are dropping many scumtells.
Wait, are you suggesting I should seem more scummy because others do that? You want it to be easier to blend in?

However, I don't really like the thought of lynching Nirur Torir. I'm find it hard to believe that MagmaDeath and Vector would have agreed to Nirur tunneling his scumbuddy on Day 1.


The Ajah question was a veiled and failed attempt to get people to say the Townie color they were given in the Role PM (the only information the Mafia likely doesn't have) but I'm suspecting now that Townies aren't all the same color after all. Still, do you think there'd be any benefit for claiming them? (Or is the risk of revealing a potential Doctor too great?) And if you think so, say who'd you'd like to claim first so that scum can't just copy townies. Or we could just go by votes, but personally I'd like to see CobaltKobold go first if the time comes.
If I'm reading this right, I already claimed: white.

...

...

Oi. Fine. If somebody besides Errol gives me a valid, original reason on why I should vote myself, with no objections, I will. I don't intend to spend my weekend defending myself from the spotlight while the scum gets off freely.
OK. Here's a good reason: it's in your role PM. ;)
So far, most of the scum hunting has been for "That's not a townie thing to do!" That doesn't necessarily make it a scummy thing to do, just an anti-townie thing. We've got too many townies doing anti-town things for that to be a deciding factor.
There are no third-parties in BM. OK, here's a good reason to vote yourself: You do antitown things. By your own admission e'en.
I hate to join a bandwagon, but I'm going to have to agree with Org. His perpetual null-tells make him a liability at Lylo.
Here's another one- picking a "null/neutral" to lynch over an "antitown".

Nirur = scum.

He's a little overexact, but generally he uses language to be precise and no more than that. (That's about the worst, and I find it fascinating.) At least he doesn't use the 'ornate style'. Though that can be fun too.
