WW16: Lurker Thread [SPOILERS]

[Bigger]

I don't think you could have saved me in any way Bigger. I'm quite certain that I was either killed because Ichabod is scum or because he is a villager - and therefore perfectly setup to be mislynched now (zak suspects him -> zak dies, I suspect him -> I die). I would be very surprised if no one would make that connection.

probably not, you're right, but I think you were just killed for the same reason as Zak - good village play and pretty much cleared village status. wolves have to eliminate people that are villagers and can't be lynched, or else village finds them by process of elimination.

[zakalwe]

I still think Ichabod is scum. And after his most recent posts, I'm thinking Rowain is scum, too.

Post 1396 is very telling. Ichabod was not fully caught up, but felt an urgent need to write 500 words on why Rowain is scummy, despite really acting like a villager? Classic scum on scum post.

He even closes with saying that he's waiting to see if Rowain has answered the accusations. What's so urgent about intervening on his behalf, if he hasn't even seen his defense yet?

[Bigger]

huh. Well you may be right about Ichabod, although I'm not yet convinced Rowain is scum. I never understood the need to post "even though I'm not caught up." I can catch up 20 pages in 30 minutes or less if I don't analyze it too carefully, then go back and reread to pay careful attention later. Its not like Ichabod's been gone for 3 days and fell way behind.

Guys, need to take a raincheck this day.

Havent had any time to even check thread. Unexpected busy-ness at work and needed to play nice with wife & dinner today. And already said tomorrow is bad. Mabye a quick read & vote if I see something early tomorrow but mabye not even that.

Catch up sunday.

I really hope you aren't pulling the same trick twice

LMAO.. hey why re-invent the wheel? If it works, it works .


Also coming back around on Ichabod, zak. You're very convincing too bad neither of can vote anymore.

[zakalwe]

How about you read my posts?

Rowain has been extremely aggressive ever since he started drawing heat. That also matches his defense strategy in the crossover madness game, where he was scum, but managed to cling on for a win just by dodging every accusation with an aggressive non-response.

It's not that he's not usually aggressive as a villager. But he is deliberately playing up his persecution complex, here. You can tell he isn't really trying to hunt, either.

[zakalwe]

Really, Lewwyn?

First you prefer Bigger over Thestick, and now you prefer Catwalk over Ichabod and Rowain?

[Bigger]

he's been on catwalk's case since day 1, nothing new. It actually feels like typical Lewwyn, finally coming out of his shell on day 3, strategically lurking to avoid night kills on day 1 and 2 as always. Of course if he hasn't caught a wolf by day 5-6 I'd be ready to string him up. But atm his case against catwalk seems pretty strong.

You're herding me from even from the lurker's lounge, though, starting to come around on Rowain, too.

Really? As far as I see I have answered your accusations and the questons. But do what you want try to lynch me but for someone who loved to run his mouth how stupid various villagers were your play isn't any better. So when ever you lurk after this game STFU in the luker-thread you ain't so good & smart as you paint yourself in them.

this made me lol. its a little wolf-defensive, I think. But also funny and true, I think. (of most lurker's who aren't playing, not just Gaspar).

[Sareln]

I can see why some people are nervous with the votes falling as they have on catwalk.

It does give me a little pause but I'm still convinced that its a shot worth taking. With me seemingly alone on novice suspicion, I'd gladly take catwalk as my second favourite.

Hedge hedge hedge hedge.

I think I even said this on Day 2. As a villager falsely accused it is not simply enough to refute accusations but to make a positive case for someone else. It's hard. But not being willing to do the work is a huge tell IMO.

Since we're in the lurker thread I can make wild and outrageous guesses right?

Ichabod, Rowain, Tasunke.

[Bigger]

why Tasunke?

[Sareln]

why Tasunke?

Hunch.

Normally Tasunke is the king of spam, but that's not what we've seen here. Instead we've seen a form a Cathago Delanda Est combined with a series of "safe" pushes (Sareln the Lurker, Catwalk the Insane [wasn't he joining catwalk in just asking questions of Mattimeo too! ]). Even when he does something that goes out on a limb, Novice, he does it alone. So everyone is just inclined to write him off.

It's admirably done.
