Shouldn't forget about Mattimeo though. He's gone into superlurk mode.

I don't think I overreacted to Matt. Matt, I contend, intentionally mischaracterized an argument, and offered a meta-threat. My "dialing back" was only in relation to the threat part, and I don't think I dialed back anyways. What I said was the threat wasn't scary to dtay, but was a suggestion of out-of-game consequences. I'm trying to clarify that Matt wasn't being threatening via tone but via the content of the threat.

To the last part of the quoted sentence above, my question got directly answered. Like two posts after I asked...

Most of my afternoon was taken up by a hike and cooking some chicken paella, checking in before I go to bed. Agreed with Lewwyn that Mattimeo is suspicious, his lurking is reminiscent of his mafia play in WW34. Going to keep my vote on Dr Saul though; the dtay mixup wasn't a big deal imo, but his reaction to the wagon on him struck me as defensive, and not in a good way. At any rate he seems like the least unreasonable lynch today other than Mattimeo for lurking.

I don't think sunrise is scum, his initial series of posts read like a natural progression of his thoughts. Good to see he's stopped lurking too, but I'd like to hear what he has to say on the Doctor Saul case or some of the other players.

And then you[Jabbz]/novice/zak started hounding him for what I think are really bad reasons, which looks even more suspicious given Saul's train looks at that point like it could pass by some of the earlier people sitting on ~3 votes.

The cases on these earlier people had no or almost no substance to them; Gazglum was as jokey as a joke wagon could be, and Adrien was really just pressure for his initial posts. Personally it makes sense that Doctor Saul would be more, ah, popular than both of those since his posts have looked a little scummy.

I have some, but after falling behind in the thread I've not been able to read as closely as I'd like catching up.

*Matt remains my top suspect for reasons given above. Remove the threat point entirely (which I don't think is fair) and he's still putting the wrong words in someone's mouth for at best very unclear reasons.

*I didn't like dtay in post 96, for making cases and then not voting for any of them, but the change off his policy vote made in that post seemed genuine to me. So town point.

*Gazglum does a similar thing in 122, giving a reason to not vote for Saul and a reason to vote for Matt, but keeping his vote on the former. Interestingly he doesn't vote Matt because he wants to give him a chance to post more. This next vote? Me, for not posting enough... rolleye

*Speaking of backing off a position (see my last post above) I don't really like Zak's follow-up to the "scum formula" post. He goes from...

FYI definition of 'obligatory:' "so customary or routine as to be expected of everyone or on every occasion" wink

*Finally I don't like the ratio of describing the game:actual analysis in AdrienIer's 141.

*I don't think I have anything new to add to the pindicator discussion. I need to re-read since there's so much said about it compared to other cases, and it doesn't help that it calls back to past games I wasn't a part of.

Also, my unofficial goal for this game is to not post least per day. I'm not going to pull a "lynch me if that's not good enough for you" thing, but it's not realistic for me to contend with post leaders.

This comes directly after Saul's post above which is the most substantive post Saul made after that initial post. All the posts in between are about trying to figure out who dtay is and saying Zak is wrong. There are no other substantive posts. Dtay saying: "subsequent defenses of himself/voiced suspicions" may be enough to "void" his reason for votign for him, but is that enough? Do you vote for someone only to make them post, and then not actually examine what they posted? Maybe dtay, you buy the initial substance post voting for Fenn, but the subsequent defenses are actually more suspicious to me. It feels a bit like you see Saul's made his post and a few others so we won't lynch him.

Idk, not sure how to express this in a way I didn't already, but I was voting for Saul cause he had literally just lurked. He then posted, with hsi post imo being well, adequate. Not something that makes me give him a town read but I don't think he's in particular more scummy than some other randomly selected player.

I then think the attacks on that post are bad, and the people being convinced by what I view as bad/unsusbtantiated reasons are therefore suspicious.

"Do you vote for someone only to make them post, and then not actually examine what they posted?" - kind of yes, you can't let people lurk. Though I notably just like... think people's examinations of it are bad. Especially the identity confusion arg.

Given that (lurking = bad), and sunrise is no longer the lurkiest :

Matt needs to post some reads and things

Thanks Fenn, I'm EST so I won't be up too much longer, but I'll try to re-read the Saul arguments in the a.m.

Zak's last few posts make it sound like his vote was more off a gut feeling off the whole of my post, and that I understand a little bit more. It's still wrong, though; he's scummy IMO but I'm still keeping my vote on Fenn. Fenn's latest posting of his itinerary felt over-the-top to me. Nobody was asking him why he had been gone -- the lurker pressure was given to Mattimeo and Sunrise (and earlier to me). He also didn't address my accusation.

You're right that I'm rusty, though. I forgot how this dance went, but the steps are coming back to me:

1. Barely shake off early bandwagon
2. Nail a couple wolves
3. Get mislynched at the end, mostly on the grounds of the early bandwagon.

Nice to see the time apart hasn't changed anything
