WW 44: Battlestar Galactica

[Gazglum]

If you're the cop, it's 50/50 at worst. Scum would have to decide whether you were going to be protected, or whether the Dr. would protect themselves. More to the point however, I find it odd that you would be blocked. I've thought of you as many things, but potentially the cop was not on that list. Still, I suppose we see who counter claims. I'm up for a while, so I'll wait a while before I claim, still irritated that Lewwyn isn't claiming, but I guess it's understandable :/

I'm not sure about this post, J-man. First, why is it understandable Lewwyn won't claim? It would have taken him 30 seconds to glance at the posts, and 10 seconds to write a claim.

And why wouldn't you think of DP as the cop? The cop is randomly allocated. What about his behaviour is not cop-like?

Regardless of my suggested claim order, counterclaims are welcome at any time, of course.

DP, since you've claimed, could you also answer the typical followup questions of why you scanned Jabbz and whether or not you breadcrumbed your role.

Warning, extreme tinfoil inside, the contained theory about the potential scumteam is just me venting my paranoia, not my actual potential scumteam

Team is Gaz/Novice, both have been sending me scum vibes but I cannot rationalise why they seem scummy, Gaz was very quick to defend Novice against something that could be seen as mild suspicion at best from me postlynch, and Novice conveniently placed the 2 of them at the back of the line for claiming. This is mostly tinfoil, but I just needed to write it out.

Sooo...we are NOT the scum team? Who do you think it might be then? You're doing such good work listing who the scum aren't, that you've forgotten to actually vote.

I also note that you latched onto the claiming discussion as a way to glide past my earlier post to you. What is your thinking on Lewwyn and me? What was it Day 1, how has it evolved?

[Gazglum]

I think it's a good idea to pursue Lewwyn, he does look fishy as I said yesterday, but trying to re-label a dead man's reads isn't the way to do it. I know it may seem like a semantics argument, but I think the implication matters when we're talking least towny, with no actual scum vibe, rather than most scummy.

I acknowledge this, and I withdraw the 'most scummy' wording. I do think it's rather splitting hairs though, when you are ranking everyone in order of suspicion.

It's understandable because Lewwyn is scum. I was positive going into last night that at least one of you and Lewwyn were, but I now know you're not so *shrug*. Claiming if he was being honest is a simple endeavor, claiming when you're scum and having to make things up? That's more work. Sounds like he is swamped right now.

[Jabbz]

Oh, and I wouldn't think of Dp as the cop, because I hold that particular piece of tin.

[Gazglum]

Well, that's good enough for me. If Jabbz or Novice have somehow bamboozled me, they deserve the win.

[novice]

Yeah case closed.

Really guys? I just spent over 20 minutes with the terrible formatting on this board putting together how I got there, and you don't even need it? I mean, cool that you don't have to be convinced, but damnit that shit was grade A prose :/
