I do disagree with point 1. No scum is going to offer to die so bluntly, it does not help their case in the slightest and if you believe so I'd like to hear how so. Othero put forth the offer to act as a sacrifice _as the leader_ to remove the role. _You_ jumped on this and forced him into your plan without his consent and he went along with it anyways, going to die for a cause he doesn't believe in because you said it would help the town and without the leadership position. Can you honestly say that you didn't feel he was town then? And if so, why not just elect him? You knew next to nothing about Celina and still don't. The fact you attempted to essentially bully him into the plan by claiming he was scum when he backed out didn't help your case of not harming the town either, especially when you keep trying to hammer home this lie that he accepted _your_ plan rather than his and mine.


Lorick, you can't honestly tell me that scum wouldn't offer to be lynched, and then keep pointing fingers at me. MAFIA OFFERS TO BE SACRIFICED. It doesn't happen often, and it might not happen here at all, but it does happen. It's a risky gambit, but when it works, it usually means mafia wins. Don't tell me that "No scum is going to offer to die so bluntly" because I've seen it happen. More than once.

How were we going to remove the leader, after electing Othero? We didn't know we had a vig. And like I said, Dag in no way indicated that we should go ahead with the plan of electing Othero and then having him shot. So going between the plan of maybe being able to kill someone who offered to be lynched, versus using the hunter to verify our BP (which is a standard play), I chose to go with the one that would do exactly what was expected.

Go read my past 3 posts. I've explained why I went with Celina. Go find it, quote it, and then keep asking why I picked her.

Oh, I think it's worth noting that I didn't magically switch from electing Othero and having him killed to electing Celina. I did it after we got new information. The fact that Othero had a revenge kill just happened to come up in the same post where he offered to be lynched.

Lorick, are you pushing for me to be lynched? If so, I'll vote myself, if not, we need to let this go. You're the one distracting the fellowship. Again, I had a random snarky comment. You jumped up and started 3 pages of arguments. I was pushing for Jack to talk more. You've made it so even if he shows up, he isn't obligated to say anything. We're back to the Requiem and Lorick show.

Ooo, I do have opinions on Shiri. Let me go get quotes.

I gave him my reasons, they aren't to his liking, and suddenly because I attempted to protect Othero from Req I'm scum in his mind.

I could keep going, but lets discuss all this so far Req. I'd love to hear how the theory of "Lorick and Othero the scum duo" is doing these days.


Well, hello pot. Meet kettle.

Let's just substitute a couple names...

"I gave him my reasons, they aren't to his liking, and suddenly because I attempted to protect Vendetta from Lorick I'm scum in his mind."

I'd love to hear how the theory of "Celina and Vendetta the scum duo" is doing these days.

You're actually using the same tactics you did before. You are clearly trying to change what has actually been said, and it's kind of annoying as I have to pick through what was really said (Requiem saying lynching Othero would prove my claim) and what you are saying was said (Requiem saying it would prove that I'm a townie. He never said that). What's worse is that I can't make heads or tails of it because this is Touhou relived, and you were town using the same bad arguments then.

It doesn't look like anyone is buying your arguments anyways. Can we just do something else now.
Celina2009-10-06 21:04:58
I say we take a potshot at a lurker. I typically don't like lynching lurkers, but I get the feeling this is going to go on for a looooong time.

Vote:Jack
Lorick2009-10-06 21:09:41
Well, we went from me acting as a screen for the scum Othero to me acting as a screen for the scum Jack. Oh where will it end..

Note my opinions about the plan were tempered by what I knew about my role. It isn't my fault you had chosen not to believe me, in fact the idea I was an sk came up in the same post I claimed yet another day power. The more outlandish the idea gets the more you seem to support, oh well.

A mafia does not offer to be sacrificed when this no information for someone to resist the offer abound. It can happen, but that isn't the point because in your own posts you state you believe he is town, but he has to die to power claim another unknown rather than just get elected. I wonder where all those statements of "I never said Othero was scum" went.. Away I guess. As did the "Othero and Lorick are scum" arguement.

Look, you are just wrong in my mind. You haven't really come forward with anything even remotely reasonible, and _of course_ your plan had supporters, the mafia would of loved it since none of them died and no one else got looked at. I suggested you double check those people and suddenly I'm the enemy.

How about this. We aren't getting anywhere like this. Can we at least agree to not openly disagree or argue with each other on these issues for the rest of the day? You aren't going to find the support to lynch me today, and I don't really have a strong attachment to pushing a lynch on you (Claim I wouldn't mind simply because we lack information) other than the fact it seems I wasted one of my powers for nothing. We have other people we can look at and talk more about the issue tomorrow. Besides, I don't think you are bad at assessment, you just get really focused.

What is Lorick's plan, in your words? How exactly do you propose we kill you? Like I said, without a better option I was willing to bank on the presence of a vig, but given what we know now, there's no reason to make that assumption.

Plus "If I was mafia I wouldn't put myself out like this" is very much a Sicilian "wine in front of me" game. We can only assume that you're town because you offered to sacrifice yourself. If you don't actually die, it does us no good. Notice that Lorick swooped in and derailed the lynch only to try to get Othero in as leader? If we don't kill you, it throws suspicion on both you and Lorick, and at that point you're unlynchable.

If you don't want to be sacrificed anymore, say so, but it's going to be one of the scummiest things you can do.

Also, you have to realize that I didn't vote for Othero or Celina all by myself. There were plenty of other people who agreed with me enough, that they carried it out. You keep saying you don't think I'm scum, and then you spend pages of text trying to prove that I'm scummy. If you actually don't think I'm mafia, but you still think the plan didn't help town at all (a statement I really don't understand how you can make) then look at the other people who followed it. If you think I'm mafia, then just say so. I've already offered myself to be lynched. I've explained numerous times why I think you we have to kill people who volunteered. You, and a couple other people, expressed disinterest in killing me. If you want to lynch me, I'll go along willingly. I'm only arguing with you because I'm not mafia. Not because I don't want to get lynched.

This whole thing started because I threw that sentence in as an aside. I wasn't even trying to get you lynched. I was responding to your concerns about me. I was just reiterating that I suspected you of being a serial killer, which shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone at that point.

Seriously, go read that post again. Then explain how we've spent 2 more pages with you attacking my ability to reason. Tell me that you aren't overreacting just the tiniest bit to the very suggestion that you're SK.


Points answered in order of appearance within the post, all posted before yours. But I'll agree to leave it alone, if you'll agree to stop making comments about it. Even if no one else agrees with you at all, I feel compelled to respond every time you misconstrue something I've said.

Soooo....are we still waiting for Jack? Can we get a Modprod on him?

Oh, I'm about to eat dinner so I'll get Shiri quotes later. But my general hunch is that he's kinda shifty. He does seem to be pushing the easy lynch (me), and I'll explain more when I get quotes. Vendetta is actually the one I think is playing the "middle of the road" strategy, more than anyone else I've noticed so far. Go read his (her?) posts from D2.
Arix2009-10-06 21:39:03
I think Lorick just throws huge walls of words at us in the hopes that we'll just get frustrated and agree with him to shut him up
Lorick2009-10-06 21:47:28
Sure, I don't mind reading it. Vendetta basically went to ground during day 1 and came back for day two. He/She (which is it? I never knew) switched plans during day 1 from Req's to mine, and while I agree with it in theory the reasons for the switch were never fully realized. He/She asked for my opinion, I gave it, switch. Casilu and Dag both took firm stances against your plan, I'm willing to table Casilu as a lower priority at the moment because of that. Quite a few others also jumped on the bandwagon with little reason and in some cases just a vote when it was put forth, but resisted doing so when we started the leadership discussion which sort of suggests to me that at least some of those people did so in part to hurry things along. Not neccessarily scummy in itself, but a great place for mafia to hide.

Was busy yesterday so couldn't follow what's happening. Can someone summerise what's happened for me? smile.gif
Rika2009-10-06 22:12:08
Oh, just something I picked up on (or missed) from skim reading through day one. How do we know that the elected leader had the same buffs as from the previous game?
Arix2009-10-06 22:16:02
Think Bali said so
Arix2009-10-06 22:17:13
And to be honest, I don't think people have been reading what Lorick and Req are posting, except possibly Celina
Celina2009-10-06 22:25:25
I read some of it, so I can draw parallels between this game and the last.

That being said, I want to moooove ooon
Unknown2009-10-07 00:46:30
Some of you need to chill. Anyway, doing a votecount, though I think you lynched Jack.
Unknown2009-10-07 01:03:04
14 alive, 8 to lynch

jack 6 (shiri, furien, allergicto, solanis, zynna, celina)

requiem has received a warning
Arix2009-10-07 01:03:43
I see 7, we need 8 to lynch AFAIK
Unknown2009-10-07 01:39:36
I don't count, Arix. Apparently I got warned because I tried to vote.

I did get a PM from Bali telling me a I couldn't vote, but it mostly emphasized that I couldn't do day-actions, and I'd forgotten about the voting part when I actually tried it. I do want an official vote count from Bali though, just to prove that they aren't mod illusions, but that doesn't make you not a SK. I've been suggesting alternate theories that explain your abilities (like I've said before, I always suspect the corner cases). You tend to take one theory, yell loudly about how it isn't true, and then assume that it disproves all of them. This simply isn't how things work


Just saying.



New plan. I'm done. Bali, go ahead and replace me. There really isn't any reason for me to have come back to these forums. Have a good life, people.
Celina2009-10-07 02:42:53
Well that was dramatic.

Ugh, I didn't say you were a survivor, I said I considered your actions and role about the same way as I would a survivor at this point. A lynch barring new information because I have reasons to distrust you at this point, I lack information about pretty much everyone else pro or con.

Speaking of which, something has been bothering me over the last few days. Req, what do you think of Shiri so far? Basically, he voted for your plan even though he opposed it vocally, and now he says he wants you daykilled but isn't up to lynching. It sounds like he is really trying to walk the middle ground.

You guys are killing everyone with walls of text and rage. I just want to get on with things.

I am always in favour of lynching lurkers.
I am also in favour of lynching people who act scummy but when we have to do both, have a daykill tomorrow, can act two days in a row and are going to have a bitch of a time shifting the bandwagon partly due to the walls of text slowly asphyxiating everyone else, guess which road I'm going to pick first.

It's nothing that complicated, I'm afraid, I'm sure there are others who share my sentiments too tongue.gif
