SA has a lot of good points. Scum read weakened, now actually more of a town read.

I'll have to look at e and ss too. I'll just have to reread this whole game if I ever get time.

[J Reggie]

Oh, and also, I don't think we should be considering the objective of this day phase to be just to identify and lynch off one scum.

I think we need to get as clear as possible an idea who all the scum are in order for town to have a fighting chance. We're going to have to make a concerted effort to attack them in the night, rather than carpet-bombing a handful of targets solo like mail-mi did and damaging townies in the process, because that just plays even more into scum's hands. They're already too strong, so we need to pull together!

This.

[silverspawn]

and of the 4 people for whom he voted D1, three have now flipped town (and the other is mail-mi).

Jesus, is that true?  I honestly doubt I'd shoot myself in the foot like this as scum.

You say I'm advocating for lynching an inactive player. Based on what?

[chairs]

I'm legitimately okay with just lynching Ghacob if it comes down to it - an inactive player isn't good, and maybe we can just shoot scum dead tonight. I just double-checked the wincons and we don't lose even if we're down to 50% of the players, we only lose when Team Town is down to 0 worms.

[chairs]

On that note, vote: Ghacob

Sorry, some actual content from people and I have been busy and not able to reply. I will try to get some responses in tomorrow

[faust]

Please take note of this updated rules segment:

Inactivity

If any player does not post in the game thread for more than 48 hours straight without prior announcement, they lose 30 health the first time and are subject to replacement the second time. Players who do not post in the game thread for more than 72 hours straight are subject to replacement as well.

[mail-mi]

post.

Been super busy. Probably shouldn't have signed up. I might have time tonight. I know like all my posts are promises of future activity. I'm just finding it hard to get into this game for some reason.

[SpaceAnemone]

Unless we're granted extra time for our Ghacob outage, D2 ends at 11am Forum Time on Sunday. So please, Mail-mi and anyone else, respond in plenty of time that we can do the following with room for everyone to engage:

1. Discuss e's claiming order.
2. Actually do the claims.
3. Verify the claims as necessary.
4. Construct a town night-time strategy that is robust enough to withstand scum interference.
5. Lynch us a worm-scum!

Hint: that's a lot to do, so let's all get thinking and reading and talking :-)

Ghacob's inactivity has really hurt us. I think at this point we lynch him and move on , maybe claiming but maybe not.

a) That is crappy pronoun usage.
b) Here's my post from last night, since you and Chairs both seem to have missed the part where it's awful for town just to lynch Ghacob and move on at this point:

PPE: Okay, you got the pronoun now, but not the lynching-them-is-awful part.

I did miss this post. And I almost think it's scummy. You have a inspirational speech but there's no backing to it. Even with claims, the picture won't magically paint itself. This isn't a dramatic, successful airstrike. This is a grind, and we should treat it like that. We're going to take damage and we're going to have to get a little lucky. With so many scum floating around, we can't really pull together at all.

Haddock has replaced Ghacob!

[Roadrunner7671]

Okay

[faust]

Vote Count 2.2

Haddock (2): 2.71828....., chairs
Not Voting (7): Roadrunner7671, SpaceAnemone, J Reggie, silverspawn, Haddock, mail-mi, schadd

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch. Day 2 ends October 30 at 11 am forum time.

[Haddock]

Greetings.

This comes at a mildly unfortunate time in that I'm trying to get like 1 or 2 more hours of work done today before I'm gone for the evening.  I will catch up as soon as possible.

When's the deadline?  If it's within 24 hours I'll try to shift my schedule so I can catch up faster.

PPE. OK vote count answers my question.  Back as soon as I can, might not be til tomorrow.

[Haddock]

To clarify: I will be reading and catching up in the intervening period, just won't necessarily be able to actually say anything.

[chairs]

Deadline isn't until Sunday.

unvote so Haddock can catch up etc.

[SpaceAnemone]

Hurrah! Welcome :-)

In your re-read, please notice the following:
1. There's a bidding thing, the mechanics of which are neat, and you should be sure to understand them. You'll want to make your bid for N2 ordering by the end of the day.
2. You lose health for being awol. I'm guessing Ghacob already lost some, so you might want to be extra-careful.
3. The game looks a bit unbalanced towards scum from where I am right now, so if you're town, we really need your active support asap!

[2.71828.....]

Also, Haddock you need to claim

[SpaceAnemone]

Also, Haddock you need to claim

I thing the priority should be a reads list first.

Putting Ghacob first in the claiming order was primarily on your say-so. I don't think we should do the full claiming exercise until we've had a chance to discuss the claiming order first. If Haddock thinks you're practically IC like many other seem to, then that's one thing, but I'd like him to form an independent impression first. Same for all the other quiet players here, really.

[Haddock]

OK I'm starting a read through now.
Won't get a chance to post when I'm done, probably, too tired. But it should mean I'm fully caught up by tomorrow, hopefully.

[silverspawn]

We don't have time to discuss the claiming order. Just follow it.

[2.71828.....]

I just downloaded a gameboy advance emulator on my phone and am playing pokemon fire red for the first time. So I had some time to post today....but got a little distracted...
