1. AK, out of the blue, says he investigated Wicked and got a scum result, 100% garantueed. He then disappears.
It's called work. A job. Some of us do it for a living. Sorry I couldn't stay home and play games all day.
Koesen wrote:2. A bandwagon develops against Wicked, which AK later claims he didn't expect, or at least not to that extent. Yeah right.
I didn't expect wicked would claim her role. I expected the bandwagon, which was kinda the whole point! I figured they wouldn't lynch her until they had heard from me again, so she was safe.
Koesen wrote:3. Wicked offers a convincing roleclaim, and the bandwagon switches to AK. Another thing he says he didn't see coming. Sure. That's only the second most likely thing to happen after an accusation like that.
I wasn't sure if the bandwagon would switch to me, and I certainly didn't expect it to get to Lynch -1. If I had posted my big post that night, it wouldn't have been so close.

Sleep is good. I had typed for an hour on that post, then lost it because of a power outage. I was tired and frustrated, so I went to bed after letting you all know I had a big post coming.

Most experienced players will wait to hear a defense before lynching someone. I didn't think anyone would die until I had a chance to post again and explain.[/quote]

7. Moz, we all believe, hammers.
The vote count was correct. Several people were on at the time of moz's vote, and nobody noticed he hadn't unvoted until later.
Koesen wrote:8. AK says he's really the cop, and since we all believe he's dead, we all believe he's telling the truth.
Since Mandy was going to post my role soon anyway, I claimed early so you all could discuss your night options.
Koesen wrote:9. Oh, looky, AK's votecount was incorrect and he's not dead after all. Immediately the bandwagon dissolves, although the question rises if AK perhaps realized all along he wasn't really dead, and perhaps created the misunderstanding to gain some badly needed credibility. From this point on, people still believe he's the cop, because he somehow hangs on to the credibility gained from his supposed death.
Not at all. I honestly thought I was dead as did several other players. Only when I went back to do a Final Vote Count for the day did I notice moz hadn't unvoted.
Koesen wrote:10. More discussion, leading to what amounts to roleclaims from Moz and Nagerous. Now, thanks to AK, four people have essentially claimed, even though Mandy clearly stated this would be bad for town.
Wth? How are you going to blame moz's claim on me? Wicked's maybe... but nobody else had to claim based on my actions. What was nagerous's claim? I might have missed that part...
Koesen wrote:So what did we gain from this stunt?
- One self confessed liar
- Four roleclaims
- Dozens of pages of confusion
- One vague lead againt Exile, whose main crime seems to be that he isn't a jedi.
And what will we get tomorrow?
I bet there will be another post from AK, saying he investigated Soandso and he turned out scum! Really! No, honestly, no lies this time around!
Sound farfetched? Perhaps, but would anybody have believed it if you had been told AK would pull a stunt like this on Day One and live this long?
I'm not sure just what AK is, but I am sure what he's not, and that's credible. It might be a mistake, but I just don't find myself willing to lynch anybody on his say so.
Do you see the glass as half-full, or half-empty? I'm going to guess the latter. No matter what the situation, you'll find the negative and hold on for dear life. I did make up a story about my role, and my investigation earlier, and that was to procure some evidence for the town. Everything after that I have told the truth, and if I'm lynched today, or night killed, or whatever... you'll believe me after Mandy posts the scene. But just remember what you'll be losing in order to gain that trust.
