Duvors Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Actually, the 2/5 thing might not be a big a deal as I think it is, I’m not a statistician. Still, I think it was misused in the original context. 1 minute ago, def said: Case one against Prescott: Prescott doesn't want to unvote the doctor. Bollocks. Your claim to being the doctor is unprovable by your own admission, and could just as easily be a desperation move by a redcoat, thus it does not warrant consideration. And anyway, Hammond is clearly waffling on unvoting you. He unvoted someone else earlier in the thread, so his claim of not knowing if he could is an obvious lie. 2 minutes ago, def said: Case two against Prescott: Prescott says I said Cassidy was likely guilty, which I didn't. I said the suspicion goes to Cassidy. If you wanted to ask why for clarification, you could have: scum sometimes think a poor Pirate might assume the people voting for a revealed townie are scummy, even though day one voting is blind. That is far from "likely guilty." That was a mistake on my part. I meant to write ‘innocent’, as actually taking the time to parse the sentence I wrote would make clear. 6 minutes ago, def said: Case three against Prescott: And then says I declared Cassidy above suspicion, which I also didn't say. I said scum was more likely in the other group. And of course, I already acknowledged today that Cassidy could be scum. And then immediately dismissed that as unlikely, thus declaring him above suspicion, which is what I was referring to. If you had the necessary intelligence to parse the written word properly you would have understood that. 8 minutes ago, def said: Case four against Prescott: in his first utterance today, he seemed to support the notion I was exonerated! Until I pointed things back at him, at which point he become sure I was scum. The entire reason I focused on you to begin with is that you lifted a single word of mine out of context and used it as the basis for voting for me, a word in a statement that you have just acknowledged was in support of you. In fact, if we intend to bicker about semantics, how about I just quote it here to save your lazy big behind the trouble of scrolling up: On 7/31/2025 at 8:19 PM, Duvors said: There is also the point Duncan raised, being that Robert's death seems to exonerate two living players. If this is true then suspicion would naturally be directed toward the remaining three, being you, myself, and James. I should point out that what I said was that it seemed to exonerate two living players, which is much less of a definite statement than you’ve been making it out to be. 12 minutes ago, def said: You've done a horrible job making a case for me, and then further done a horrible job unvoting when you learned I was the doctor. You are by far the scummiest, and that's all based on your public actions. I have not ‘learned’ you are the doctor. No one here has ‘learned’ you are the doctor. You have merely made an unverifiable assertion and now are acting as if it should be taken at face value by everyone. In point of fact, what it amounts to is jack shit. You have simply made a claim to scare someone into changing their vote. That said, I have to say, having given it some thought, I believe you. It’s not because of anything you’ve done, and I stand by everything I’ve just said, but the fact remains that Hammond has just told a deliberate lie to avoid changing his vote while making it look like he wants to. To quote the relevant post: 44 minutes ago, Trekkie99 said: Cursed by the ways of the MafiaScum forum I am. I’ve forgotten my roots. Can one unvote here if they so choose? Or can the sentence nay be undone? The issue is, in an earlier post in this thread he said the following: 5 hours ago, Trekkie99 said: I bee’s vibin that if it t’will be a red coat between def or kotz, then it shall be the both of em. If it most definitely not be both then I could say ay to yeeting Duvor. From memories of past in the snow with the jolly man, CS don’t strike me different here. Arrr!!! VOTE: Michael "Navigator" Cassidy -- KotZ UNVOTE: Michael "Navigator" Cassidy - KotZ VOTE: Duncan "Parrot-Keeper" Gage - Def Actually I’s feels this be better Ergo, he is lying, and since he did so after both my hammer vote and Duncan’s doctor claim, he must be a redcoat, and Duncan must a pirate, which means that Duncan’s claim is probably true. Therefore, James must die. To hell with him. Unvote: Duncan "Parrot-Keeper” Gage (Def) Vote: James "One-Leg” Hammond (Trekkie99)
Duvors Posted August 2 Posted August 2 My apologies if any of that came of as a little harsh. I rather lost my temper there.
def Posted August 2 Posted August 2 In light of the fact that Hammond has indeed unvoted previously, and furthermore was seen here following the conversation after me helping him unvote, I have no choice but to believe he is flummoxed and consulting his scummate on how to proceed at the moment. (Real life sometimes gets in the way, I have left my window open on my browser for the day and may appear "here" when I'm actually not, but Hammond was here and active. Then he was merely "here", and when he would be expected to participate, he didn't) Unvote: Paul "Eagle" Prescott -- Duvors Vote: James "One-Leg” Hammond (Trekkie99) The other principle I remember so clearly is that when the loyal pirates squabble among themselves, the scum sit it out and laugh their asses off. Again, this is why they tend to be quiet, so they are left out of the fray and below the radar.
Classic_Spaceman Posted August 2 Posted August 2 3 hours ago, def said: Well, if this be the last day, I’ll let you know I am the doctor, and I was blocked last night. I proudly proclaim it, because there won’t be a counter-claim, except by a Redcoat giving themselves away. “Right, an’ I’m th’ bloody King o’ England! I’ll play, though - Who’d ye protect, ol’ sawbones?” 2 hours ago, Trekkie99 said: Cursed by the ways of the MafiaScum forum I am.

Who I protected is irrelevant to the discussion. Pretty clear where he stands. Neville and Hammond are the likely scum. Well, it probably is do or die with this vote. No vote is equal to losing for the Pirates.

He could jus’ as easily ‘ave switched his vote to ye, an’ a pirate’d still be walkin’ th’ plank tonight.” “Nay; methinks Duncan be scum, an’ One-Leg be tryin’ a trick t’ get us t’ trust Duncan after he himself be voted down t’ Davy Jones’ Locker!” 11 minutes ago, def said: Who I protected is irrelevant to the discussion. “Not from where I be standin’ - One-Leg be scum, but I cannae say ye be in th’ clear yourself.

Who did ye protect?” I applaud your absolute confidence and conviction despite being completetely wrong, and in fact, have evidence to the contrary. So far, we have only two facts: Blake was loyal, and I have claimed doctor. Everything else is conjecture. I must imagine such an unearned confidence in your ideas does wonders for your self-esteem in your pirate life, whenever you bumble into yet another error. Rather, illuminate for me what you would gain by me telling who I targeted? I didn't target Blake. If I targeted Hammond, what would you make of that? If I targeted Cassidy, what would you make of that? How about Prescott or yourself? What would you learn in any of those scenarios? In fact, I initially targeted myself, then a random choice when that was rejected. So there's your answer, I targeted myself. Analyse that, Einstein.
Trekkie99 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Quite the turn of events from ya mateys. Twas busy painting thee ship’s deck and now late the hour be. None has countered the claim of doc from def so maybe it be true?
Trekkie99 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 On thee old bones that be MafiaScum.net, a hammered lynch be a locked lynch. In the fog that be my mind late at night, I couldn’t see nor remember the path of Eurobricks. I apologize for the confusion. def and Duvor thru these recent developments has struck me as SvS. An impressive act if be true, but kotz’s absence makes me fall back on me old theory a bit and hesitate. But also impressive would be def’s fake claim if scum. Perhaps kotz and Duvor? I of course be still nay to considering a scum!CS world RN. I read their shift to me as a further case for them being town, albeit this time a more unfortunate case of dejavu. All together this puts Duvor as the common denominator to my eyes UNVOTE: Duncan “Parrot-Keeper” Gage - def VOTE: Paul "Eagle" Prescott - Duvors
Bob Posted August 2 Author Posted August 2 Vote Count: Paul Prescott (Duvors) - 2 (KotZ, Trekkie99) James Hammond (Trekkie99) - 3 (Duvors, def, Classic_Spaceman) With 5 players left, a majority of 3 is required to lynch.

def Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Hammond’s response leaves me confident he’s scum. A true pirate would know their death means the end of the game, and be desperate to turn the ship around. In contrast, Hammond barely registers it, and has taken his vote off me while still implying I’m scum. Trying not to panic, when a true pirate would be panicking! If Hammond is scum, and we still have a chance to win, I likely won’t last the night. Nobody can protect me, and I would be confirmed Pirate (happily being second to lynch Hammond after initially calling him out this morning, and being virtually confirmed as the doctor due to no counterclaim… our deceased shipmate Blake, an angel of a man if ever there were one, has voted Hammond; he’d have voted me had he been the doctor). Prescott as well will likely be town for starting the Hammond vote, and may also be the victim tonight. I’m not considering myself dead just yet. I’ll be able to vote tomorrow even if deceased, but will have no more info than you folk. But my suspicions lean to Neville. He is third to vote for Hammond, but rats often abandon a sinking ship. He likely saw how the wind was blowing. This is all based on the assumption we’re right about Hammond. If not, all this is moot

That’s a fact you can jot down in your notebook for the future. Good luck trying to muddy the discussion further with your nonsense, ——— If the Pirates have a blocker, which seems unlikely with only six folk, Neville seems a fair target.
def Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Sure would have been nice if Cassidy hadn't passed out halfway through the day. His two cents are important!

There HAS to be scum between those two. In all likelihood it’s the both of them. kotz’s absence is tripping me out as well. Frozen scum?
KotZ Posted August 3 Posted August 3 Sorry, all, needed a nap to get my sealegs back under me. Mr. Gage's claim of failing a doctor role last night lines up, as I blocked him myself, which confirms him to me as a loyal pirate. Personally, I do not see the harm in leaving my vote on Mr. Prescott as symbolic of believing he may be scum, and Mr. Hammond's lynch seems all but like likely now. I believe I have put a target on my back, as has Mr. Gage with his claim, but this leads me to believe the scum will have a very difficult choice tonight in what they want or can do, especially if Mr. Hammond truly is a villain.
Bob Posted August 3 Author Posted August 3 Vote Count: Paul Prescott (Duvors) - 2 (KotZ, Trekkie99) James Hammond (Trekkie99) - 4 (Duvors, def, Classic_Spaceman, Tariq j) With 5 players left, a majority of 3 is required to lynch. Therefore, James Hammond (Trekkie99) has been lynched! Please get your night actions in!
