MagPiesRUs Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I'll get it started: Vote: Gregory McHenry (Lady K) Based on just a general scuminess. Irene is choice two. I think you're on to something there: Vote: Gregory McHenry (Lady K)
Shadows Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Me for second choice? Why? I'm the towniest of the townies, oakiest of the oaks, a solid citizen. That might be enough reason right there. For now, I'm going to wait and see what Gregory has to say, but general scumminess is about as good as any other day 1 reasoning, so I could go with that if they don't say anything that convinces me otherwise.
mostlytechnic Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 And wow, day 1 is off to the usual start. Someone throws out a vote, someone scummily jumps on it, someone else lazily says they might join the bandwagon... now, not saying I have anything more solid to vote with yet, but we've got multiple people jumping on gregory here with NO basis. Oh sorry, "general scumminess" - aka made 3 fluffy, role-playing posts so far in the start of day 1 WHERE YOU"RE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. Hey, I have ZERO evidence that Greg is town or scum or 3rd party, but that also means I sure don't have any reason to vote him off yet. I'm HOPING that Shelly was just throwing a name out to see who jumps on it - seems like she's really anxious to get past the donut talk and get serious - but considering how day 1 lynches go, why not (if she's scum) do exactly this? Throw a name out knowing it can't really ever be held against you, watch everyone jump on the bandwagon, and know you're lynching a townie rather than risk the same thing happening to a Milano? Not a bad plan actually.

For now, I'm going to wait and see what Gregory has to say, but general scumminess is about as good as any other day 1 reasoning, so I could go with that if they don't say anything that convinces me otherwise. I guess not. I'm going to vote: Brian Barnes (Shadows) because it seems he's trying to position himself with any vote that may emerge without being too committal and that is scummy to me.
StickFig Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah, yeah, people who vote quick, definitely scum... people who vote second, obviously scum... people who take forever to vote, no way they're not scum... I think I'll knock out two more things that should be on the Day 1 list: voting for someone with the fewest posts (there are four of you) and voting for Pirate Dave. Vote: Wanda Barnes (Piratedave84) People will probably accuse me of being scum for it, and I'll probably change it later if someone makes a good case against someone, and people will probably say that's suspicious too. Hooray Mafia!
def Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Me for second choice? Why? I'm the towniest of the townies, oakiest of the oaks, a solid citizen. No, it is the Towniest of Towns, and it is a copyrighted phrase. Unless you are planning to toss a little scratch Shelly's way, you shouldn't even be using it, much less misusing it And Gregory must be taking a siesta.
Bob Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Vote Count: Gregory McHenry (Lady K) - 2 (def, TinyPiesRUs) Brian Barnes (Shadows) - 1 (jluck) Wanda Barnes (Piratedave84) - 1 (StickFig) With eighteen players, it will take ten votes to lynch.
Shadows Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I'm going to vote: Brian Barnes (Shadows) because it seems he's trying to position himself with any vote that may emerge without being too committal and that is scummy to me. I'm giving the first person voted for an opportunity to defend themselves. If they fail to do so, I plan to vote for them. No one else had been accused at the time, so I don't see how you can call that positioning myself with any vote except potentially that one. Since your reasoning makes no sense, I can only wonder if you're trying to come up with a weak excuse to split the vote. It's a bit early for such silliness, but hey, people have revealed themselves for less logical reasons, so consider yourself on my radar.
Lady K Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Wow, after morning coffee and relaxing at the lighthouse, I see two members of our community are accusing me of being scummy. Yet neither of them give any valid reasons or examples. If you really think I am scummy then please explain further. I am town and have aways been town since moving into the lighthouse where it's my job to rescue those in trouble. So I enjoy fresh fish and don't eat donuts, this is not scummy just my dietary preference. And I would be happy to eat at the restaurant on occasion if my salary every afforded my the opportunity to do so.
Piratedave84 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 let's see if this will be better today ... nope ... oh well I guess I'll have to deal with it! I'm not super keen on the votes being thrown I'll hold off on my vote for now

The initial vote was little more than a catalyst to start the game, why would you need to go along with it? Do your own analysis, form your own suspicions. Don't just vote for the first person voted for or this game could get painful. What def's vote did do was reveal who was ready to jump on any voting trend at the drop of a hat.
Dannylonglegs Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I'll get it started: Vote: Gregory McHenry (Lady K) Based on just a general scuminess. Irene is choice two. Eh bien? I guess someone had to cut le gateaux. I can't say I recall how you normally act, but you've been rather stern all game. Perhaps you could benefit from one of Chez Albert's delightfuly fluffy fresh-baked croissants drizzled in locally sourced honey and thinly sliced almond slivers. Lighten up, mon homme. It is only the first day, apres tout! That said, I don't disagree with you. There is nothing to go on yet. a feeling is as good as anything. What will be really interesting though is the conversation you've started. You guys do realize this is just an attempt to get the game started and end the small talk, right? Quel domage, I was quite enjoying the small talk. I'm going to vote: Brian Barnes (Shadows) because it seems he's trying to position himself with any vote that may emerge without being too committal and that is scummy to me. Sacre-bleu! A vote for Shadows is a vote for you. In Shadows we trust. Hon Hon hon. I'm not sure how to think about this. This is the first time in my recent memory anyone's drawn Shadows' scumminess to a head on day one. Of course that's probably because most of us know that he intentionally presents as scummy even when he's not.
Shadows Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Defend themselves against what? The initial vote was little more than a catalyst to start the game, why would you need to go along with it? Do your own analysis, form your own suspicions. It's triggering more useful conversation than the morning donut vs meat talk, which allows people to actually do their own analysis and form their own suspicions. See how that works? Sacre-bleu! A vote for Shadows is a vote for you. In Shadows we trust. Hon Hon hon. I'm not sure how to think about this. This is the first time in my recent memory anyone's drawn Shadows' scumminess to a head on day one. Of course that's probably because most of us know that he intentionally presents as scummy even when he's not. This is the first time in recent memory that you've played. It's also true that my towniest of town game is pretty damn scummy looking, so there's that.
Palathadric Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 It can't be, no no. There is no correlation between donuts and fish. It's either one or the other. Donut=town, fish=scum. Basis? Killing fish, murder=scum. It's the most simple choice. I've got my eyes on you, Eric. Your defense of fish is a little too strong. See, I've taught my chef a thing or two it seems. Certainly appears more learned than you are. Ha, ha! In any case, you'd better not stare at me too closely. Wouldn't want Ann to think there's something between us, because that would just be awkward. I'll get it started: Vote: Gregory McHenry (Lady K) Based on just a general scuminess. Irene is choice two. I think you're on to something there: Vote: Gregory McHenry (Lady K) Woah! That escalated quickly. I'm not sure what Al Cooper is playing at here. I'd like to think he's just throwing weight on Shelly's vote to see who will bite, but if not, it seems just too effortless an action. Though I have to think that if he were scum, surely he would have thought of that? Meh! It's probably the most suspicious thing of the day, so I will Vote: Al Cooper (TinyPiesRUs).

It's also true that my towniest of town game is pretty damn scummy looking, so there's that. Guilty as charged! You can tell how long it's been by my archaic and outdated inside jokes. Woah! That escalated quickly. I'm not sure what Al Cooper is playing at here. I'd like to think he's just throwing weight on Shelly's vote to see who will bite, but if not, it seems just too effortless an action. Though I have to think that if he were scum, surely he would have thought of that? Meh! It's probably the most suspicious thing of the day, so I will Vote: Al Cooper (TinyPiesRUs). Interesting conclusion, but I don't know if I agree with it. It may have been a while since my last time out of the kitchen, but last time I checked, the first and second vote draw a lot more attention to one's self than a scum would be interested in obtaining. Of course there's always the WIFOM argument to be made, but I don't know if I'd agree with that either. Anyways, I'd expect more of Al than to show his scummy hands this easily with nothing more than a hop on a bandwagon. You know who I find's been oddly quiet lately? Ace (Kintobor). That's not what I'd expect of him in a situation like this from the drinks we've shared elaewhere. Perhaps I only know him from our drinking games, but he's always been a talkative type there...
def Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 let's see if this will be better today ... nope ... oh well I guess I'll have to deal with it! I'm not super keen on the votes being thrown I'll hold off on my vote for now Platinum scum move. You can vote and revote, no reason to hold off except fear of drawing attention. Massive ping. Woah! That escalated quickly. Yes, two is an escalation. Two. Mild ping. Yet neither of them give any valid reasons or examples. You want to have 'scummy vibes' explained? Sorry, a vibes a vibe. Sometimes, I play from the gut. Any valid reason you aren't total scum?
Kintobor Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I think I find Shadows Wanda throwing suspicion onto Gregory without voting more scummy than Al and Shelly's vote for him. If your so sure about Greg's suspiciousness, vote for him and put some pressure on him to get him to talk. Al's jumped on the bandwagon with fluff, but that's all that's been tossed around so far. You call him out for "general scumminess" and do nothing about it. Vote: Brian Barnes (Shadows) You know who I find's been oddly quiet lately? Ace (Kintobor). That's not what I'd expect of him in a situation like this from the drinks we've shared elaewhere. Perhaps I only know him from our drinking games, but he's always been a talkative type there... And Gregory isn't being oddly quiet? We played that Heroica RPG a few years back, sure, but I don't think pinpointing me for being quiet now is fair when others are being as equally quiet or, even more damning, withholding their votes. Sorry, I guess I should say Lady K's brief absence. Still, there's some people who haven't gotten into the discussion now that it's started to get into full swing.
KotZ Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Sorry, I had to go clean up some of the tables. I think someone put some live-- well, dying-- fish on them. From what I've overheard when I was cleaning up those tables, I'm going: Al Cooper (TinyPiesRUs)

Two. Mild ping. You want to have 'scummy vibes' explained? Sorry, a vibes a vibe. Sometimes, I play from the gut. Any valid reason you aren't total scum? Wow, yeah, merci for pointing that out. She's already got one vote in her, but it clearly didn't register with her. I must have missed this while looking over more important statements. let's see if this will be better today ... nope ... oh well I guess I'll have to deal with it! I'm not super keen on the votes being thrown I'll hold off on my vote for now Thanks for showing up. This statement does not sit right with me. You ignore a vote directed at you, and say next to nothing of any value. Not a smart or townie move, by my books. I'm going to Vote: Wanda (Piratedave84) at least just to get her to respond to the vote. I think I find Shadows Wanda throwing suspicion onto Gregory without voting more scummy than Al and Shelly's vote for him. If your so sure about Greg's suspiciousness, vote for him and put some pressure on him to get him to talk. Al's jumped on the bandwagon with fluff, but that's all that's been tossed around so far. You call him out for "general scumminess" and do nothing about it. Vote: Brian Barnes (Shadows) I think you confused Brian for Wanda at the beginning of your comment there, mon amis! As for the vote on Shadows, I freely admit I cannot and likely will never be able to read him one way or the other. And Gregory isn't being oddly quiet? We played that Heroica RPG a few years back, sure, but I don't think pinpointing me for being quiet now is fair when others are being as equally quiet or, even more damning, withholding their votes. Sorry, I guess I should say Lady K's brief absence. Still, there's some people who haven't gotten into the discussion now that it's started to get into full swing. True, but I called you out because I know you to be a talkative person. I've been gone a while, but things like that aren't things I'd expect to change overnight.
Lady K Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Shelly, my valid reason for not being scum is that I am town. I have read in several murder/mystery novels about one character that always has a scum vibe of another even when the other is an innocent town member. Maybe that is what you are getting a vibe from me here. I am waiting to cast my vote due to several other town members who have barely said anything. Christopher, Louis, Russell, Linda, Pamela......care to speak up and join the discussions? And Carl, you showed up to vote but didn't say much?
Sandy Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I am waiting to cast my vote due to several other town members who have barely said anything. Christopher, Louis, Russell, Linda, Pamela......care to speak up and join the discussions? And Carl, you showed up to vote but didn't say much? I apologize, my time zone work schedule is opposite to most of yours. Got a few rough night shifts behind me, and I of course can't comment on anything if it's my legal coffee break. But what can I say? It's Day One, we know nothing concrete yet, but can only go after each other's behaviors. Or in the case of Shirley Carter and Brian Barnes, their history. I know I've got some history behind me, too, so I don't think it's fair to base votes on that alone. Eugene and Irene seem to be the most vocal ones out of the bunch, but they have both refrained from voting thus far. Interesting strategy, since it puts them on the front-and-center but they seem to avoid being the spearhead to a lynch mob. I think you're on to something there: Really?! You almost made me spill my coffee when I heard this! I understand Shirley wanted to put wheels into motion, but she didn't really say anything that could be "on to". Your eagerness in jumping the nearest bandwagon makes you the most suspicious one in this early stage, mate. Vote: Al Cooper (TinyPiesRUs)

Interesting strategy, since it puts them on the front-and-center but they seem to avoid being the spearhead to a lynch mob. To be perfectly honest, I'm just really excited to be outside the kitchen again. It's been a while. Also I have a smart phone now and can get online much more frequently than ever before. Also, I have voted. Wanda's last comment looked like a scum trying g to skate below the radar without saying anything useful. merely showing up to keep people from pointing out she hasn't said anything. Of she's not scum, then she's not helping the town with comments like that. it wasn't even fluff, just nothing.
KotZ Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 And Carl, you showed up to vote but didn't say much? I heard some of the conversations when I was cleaning. The vote tossed to Al stood out to me though. He bandwagoned (relatively early, I might add) with a sort of odd comment and not much analysis. Granted there's not much analysis that can be done so early but it seemed like he didn't even try to rationalize his vote. Just a "Well this person said X, so I'm gonna go with X." type of situation, almost trying to shift blame off of him as fast as possible, maybe getting an early lead for those mafia members where we think one of them is with us as a friend.
Dragonfire Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Vote: Wanda Barnes (Piratedave84) People will probably accuse me of being scum for it, and I'll probably change it later if someone makes a good case against someone, and people will probably say that's suspicious too. Hooray Mafia! Any particular reason for this vote? Or is it just random? I'm giving the first person voted for an opportunity to defend themselves. If they fail to do so, I plan to vote for them. No one else had been accused at the time, so I don't see how you can call that positioning myself with any vote except potentially that one. Since your reasoning makes no sense, I can only wonder if you're trying to come up with a weak excuse to split the vote. It's a bit early for such silliness, but hey, people have revealed themselves for less logical reasons, so consider yourself on my radar. How can Gregory defend himself/herself against an accusation of "scummy vibes"? I'm pretty sure Shirley (and maybe Al too) were voting to get reactions. You seem to be treating this as if Gregory is a legitimate suspect. I am waiting to cast my vote due to several other town members who have barely said anything. Christopher, Louis, Russell, Linda, Pamela......care to speak up and join the discussions? And Carl, you showed up to vote but didn't say much? I live in a 5 hour difference time zone from almost everybody else here. I'm not online at the same time as most of you, and I didn't really have anything to contribute to the whole fishy donut fluff business. Now that the game has kicked off, I'll say more. Personally, I'm not voting until I'm more sure of someone's scumminess. Or if my vote is needed to achieve a lynch. If I had to vote now, gun to my head, I'd be voting for Brian, because his non-committal-but-accusatory post pinged me. But I think I'll wait a while before casting my vote.
Sandy Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Also, I have voted. You are right, sorry! I just did not hear you before. I must've been on a coffee break. What comes to Wanda's behaviour, I'd peg it down to inexperience - for now. We are all grasping at straws at this point, anyway.
