On the other hand, HotShot has been posting at least once a day since returning (and each with some substance) which could either be that he truly now has time to participate as stated... or it's a response to the pressure against him. Since Flores has gone too long without a post, I'd be very open to pressing her for a claim. I'll give her 'til this evening to 'splain her absence and to get input from the others who have expressed interest in HotShot. I also want to re-read the posts she has made and then I'll reevaluate my vote.
In short, I'm good with getting a claim from either but I'm not sure which one we have a more realistic chance of pressuring before the deadline. I would not be OK with a speed lynch of Flores before she responds.
LV, would you please prod Flores (5 full days without a post)?

My last two posts were questions about the bandwagons and how dakky announcing he would vote unvote someone could possibly make sense pressurewise.
Otherwise, no I'm not really sure what else I can contribute on D1. Now that Thor is confirmed townie, am I correct that the current popular thought is to lynch either Masket or Hotshot?

btw, Unvote

------------------------
My take on the breakdown is simply in the Day 1 story I believe it was, Gandalf was addressing specifically 13. So it would be 13 (14 if Gandalf comes but as MP story wise that doesn't fit) and 3 scum. Whether all scum are working together or not idk but that's the breakdown I would expect to see
14/09/17, IcePack wrote:For the record, I'm also generally pro no lynch Day 1. I believe I joined DDS previous debate thread w that stance as well. While I might get an inkling of something, I don't see us being able to get a strong enough sense for someone to lynch.
Especially in a bigger player game like this, not as urgent as a 8 or 9 player game.
That being said now that I've read through everything twice, I am getting a scum vibe from a few people.
With that said, I support vote no lynch today unless someone really strongly screws up or convinces me otherwise. I want to see how my FOS react to this and also Day 2 where they go. Then I really start narrowing in on people fwiwmadmitch wrote:To my pal Rags ,I have not voted yet because it was suggested that I vote and unvote to many times, but now I think I will VOTE THORTH I don`t like his no-lynch ideal :x
Why thorth over DDS or some of the other no lynch advocates? Or me?
15/09/17, IcePack wrote:ZaBeast wrote:You posted your stance on the lynch-no lynch issue after he posted his vote. DDS, always has this stance, so it is not alignment indicative.
Right, I know my post was afterwards. I wasn't questioning why me specifically, but in general anyone w a no lynch stance. Which is why I included myself. While DDS is always no lynch, I want to know madmitches reasons for selecting him over Thor. He specifically says he disapproves of the ideal so anyone could be targeted (even DDS) but why select one over the other?ZaBeast wrote:2) You look like you're hiding under your no-lynch stance to avoid scum-hunting. But you're right, I would also like to have the stance of other players, esp. IcePack since he clearly said he had some suspicions. From what I understand he'll try to make a case out of it on D2, but I don't see why he can't just now.
I know you're not addressing me here in the first sentence but as I have similar stance and need to reply to the second part, definitely not avoiding scum hunting. I have the same if I feel there's a case to be made I'll vote but in general will be no lynch unless otherwise convinced today.
Regarding why not today instead of tomorrow, because it's weak today and making the accusation puts them on the defense and can hide their true reactions. I want to see what / how they reply on D1/N1 and D2 as I think it can provide a much stronger case instead of giving my FOS now and they avoid replying in ways that add to my FOS.

Is there any chance we have a hobbit jester?
Ragian wrote:No way of telling without a lynch.
IcePack wrote:Well....yeah, I'm saying any characters make sense in the hobbit for a jester
10. There will be no length of day. If I feel the days are dragging I will oppose a deadline with a minimum of 72 hours notice of an end of day

Game mechanics speculation (poorly thought out/researched speculation at that).
Gandalf was addressing the 13 hoods worn by the 13 Dwarves who had arrived, and his own wizard hat in addition. Bilbo had no hood, as he had not expected to be going on an adventure at all. I would not read any more into that opening paragraph, as that would lead us to believe we have 13 dwarves as the town side and no Bilbo...
Call for a No-Lynch, swiftly followed by a now-classic of The Hobbit mafia: the "I have suspicions but I won't tell you who or why", and an odd attempt to discredit madmitch for not pre-emptively voting IcePack under the assumption they would make the very post in which they attempt to do said discrediting, because you know, that makes sense...
Nothing of import.
Nothing of value.
IcePack wrote:So yeah, sorry about my inactivity. I have been keeping pretty diligent notes and expect to have more insight and reactions in D2. IDK how that warrants a vote, I mean if you value activity so much in order for tells, why would you vote the inactive player when you have other posts to be working off and getting those tells?

Nothing has stood out as particularly scummy yet for the people who are posting... so the default response is the scum might be hiding by not posting. At the very least, putting pressure on the less active people encourages them to contribute and post more.
IcePack wrote:Hey Pika, just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I'm not here reading. As I said, I would have more to go on personally D2 for various reasons. Not to mention, I've only played small 8/9 player forum ones and the speed in which people are playing / posting here I'm having a hard time keeping up just reading due to my RL schedule. Call it scum, call it whatever. People on CC know what my CC volunteer schedule is like and should probably understand more then just a mafia player here.
The game started around Page 3 (Sept 9th) and I volunteered Page 6 (Sept 12th). In 11 days since then theres been 12 PAGES of posts. That was not the speed in which I expected and caught a bit off guard. By the time I read something and formulate something, theres half a page of long new posts to consider. For a newer player its a bit of a shock.

Yep, you guys had been going on for awhile and I read through the posts and asked a question that was immediately shot down by you. When in fact others have posted similar things to what I said before, and since, which you didn't really address. For the very little interaction I've had in this game, you seem to be happy to aim / correct at me.

This was your reaction to my D1 take on the story provided. When you read the D1 story, it says nothing about bilbo not having a hood or not. So I dont know how you can speculate he wasn't part of the group. IDK how it can be poorly thought out or researched when literally its based off a 3 paragraph introduction. But sure. Whatever floats your boat.
and likewise in the film version he also had no hood or indeed handkerchief (although of course in the films nobody else had a hood either).The Hobbit, Chapter 2: "Roast Mutton" wrote:“That leaves you just ten minutes. You will have to run,” said Gandalf.
“But—,” said Bilbo.
“No time for it,” said the wizard.
“But—,” said Bilbo again.
“No time for that either! Off you go!”
To the end of his days Bilbo could never remember how he found himself outside, without a hat, a walking-stick or any money, or anything that he usually took when he went out; leaving his second breakfast half-finished and quite unwashed-up, pushing his keys into Gandalf’s hands, and running as fast as his furry feet could carry him down the lane, past the great Mill, across The Water, and then on for a mile or more.
Very puffed he was, when he got to Bywater just on the stroke of eleven, and found he had come without a pocket-handkerchief!

On the contrary, I did say why. I said I wanted to see how the people on my FOS list reacted to today. I wasn't trying to discredit madmitch, I simply asked him a question to gather more info on why he did something. Again, a very strange way to twist what I said / did. But whatever.
IcePack wrote:Nothing of import.Nothing of value.
Sort of like your posting here and vote? My question about whether game mechanics / story about a jester imo is important, because as I said, if we suspected a jester bcuz it appeared someone was trying to get lynched, it certainly would be important to know so you DONT LYNCH A JESTER. Pretty easy to deduce that mate.
Anyway, I'm doing what I can to keep up. I basically started the 13th, and have made some minor attempts to get some additional info / clarification on items that I noted. (5 posts in 10 days, in which I said I would be more active the next day anyway) so I dont see how again, you would expect me to be wildly busy responding to things when I specifically said I would be more active D2.
I mean, I could very understandably be judged if D2 comes along and I'm just as quiet. Feel free to judge me on my actions and activity at that point. To do so before then I find curious, at best.
