Dragonfire

Hey, you said it! prank Thanks Hinck (or whoever changed it, if it wasn't him)

Why don't you type it like this: w o r d. Then it won't filter and I can see what it is.

Avalanche delivers a solid hit to the scarecrow, sending it reeling backwards. Taking advantage of the momentary pause in fighting, he swings the Silver Cup of Victory at Scarecrow A from the front row. I suggest that William attacks the Cow and Siercon attacks Scary Crows A. Hopefully we'll be able to take down most of them this round :)

What's the joke about Bob sucks? Is it a swear word which gets filtered?

"Thanks, William," Avalanche pants as he sees the warden take the hit for him. Not bothering to rest, he attacks Scarecrow B with the Silver Cup of Victory from the front row.

Let Minga guess, it's gonna look like this: Darth Vader: Zipzup! I'd like to claim my role and alignment to you, if you want to hear it... and even if you don't Zipzup: Um.... ok Darth Vader: Zipzup.... I am your father. Zipzup: Is that even a role? Darth Vader: Of course! It's a neutral bomb who converts to vigilante on Night Four

Why don't you suspect Zipzup? Is your suspicion of Vasquez solely based on her middle-ground nature?

Why would Minga need to divert focus away from herself? As a townie, Minga isn't afraid of suspicion, and it's not as if the entire town suspected Minga Only four people, including yourself, have expressed suspicions of Minga so far today, and all four of you are under scrutiny. Let's hypothetically say Minga is scum. The same principle applies. Do you honestly think scum-Minga would be afraid of four people, who are themselves under scrutiny, expressing suspicion of her? Minga's not a newbie, she's not that stupid! Scum only divert focus if a) they're newbies, or b) they're a top suspect and are in danger of being lynched. There is no reason for Minga to divert focus away from herself as either alignment. So your point makes no sense. Well, Minga definitely hasn't PM'd you, and Minga is not sure whether you've expressed suspicion of anyone else today, so she has no idea who this might be. 1) it's Seamus 2) Maybe you should consider voting for Claw, seeing as currently there are no votes on Laura and her lynch looks unlikely. Don't get Minga wrong, Minga would prefer to lynch Laura than Claw, but a Claw lynch is more realistic at this point - only 3 votes away. Yeah, how about you present it like a play (hint hint) ?? You could call the person who claimed to you "Darth Vader" and give any other people mentioned in the conversation Star-Warsy nicknames

Avalanche's eyes light up with battle rage as he destroys all the canaries in one hit. He turns on the Scary Crows B, attacking them with his Silver Cup from the front row. OOC: You didn't specify which Scarecrow you were targeting. I'd advise you to target Scary Crows A or C instead to lessen the amount of Free Hits.

Meta gaming reasons? So you think that Minga is playing like a certain scummy viking that Minga sometimes has dreams about... Does Rip think Minga and Claw are in some kind of relationship? Does Rip not know that inter-racial breeding is forbidden among the Fa'Anta Cera, upon pain of exile?? no that's totally not how Minga came to be here OK, so just because Ender is dead and town, you feel that you can just harp his accusations? Wow, man. Wow. Paranoid town --> everyone scum-reading and looking into everyone else --> scum being looked into --> more likely to find scum versus Overconfident town --> scum flying under the radar ---> scum are not looked into ---> scum win Very convenient Minga did not accuse Zipzup of not contributing, Minga accused Zipzup of asking Minga to do all the work while Zipzup just sat there and didn't bother to do it himself. If Zipzup wanted an analysis on the Clementine votes, why did Zipzup not do it himself? Did Zipzup only ask Minga to do an analysis just so he could accuse Minga and call her fishy? Minga hates being compared to a fish So people are finally being sensible Good job everyone! Minga has been having those dreams again... about a scummy viking dude who was so busy theorising in thread about the scum's activities and was trying so hard to appear active and helpful... that he slipped and accidentally revealed that he knew too much. He was lynched for it. He was totally scum. Minga recognises this same behaviour now. Minga has already expressed her suspicions of the Claw, across this game day and in her vote analysis, and in the interest of getting a lynch today she will: Unvote: Laura Starbucks (Tariq j) and Vote: Claw (TheLazyChicken) Laura, I'm still watching you

Oh, okay, you were referring to that. Could you do better? Could you be bothered to analyse the vote? If you think Minga's analysis isn't informative enough, do one of your own! And posting next to nothing is a good way for scum to fly under the radar Surely the scum should be trying to get us to underestimate the number of players they have, to make us overconfident ?? Exaggerating numbers only makes townies warier of the scum and more paranoid - and thus more likely to successfully catch scum. Minga just wanted to make it clear in what order the votes came and what reasons the players gave for submitting the votes. Basically, a compilation of information. Then Minga presented her opinions of people based on these facts.

Okay, noted. Minga will be watching to see if you do call anyone out for being defensive. You quoted the middle of Minga's post, but not the end. To do that, you would have to manually delete the chunk of text. Are you saying that you did this, and yet skimmed the post? You explained yourself well enough in response to Minga's slightly sarcastic comment, and for that you look less bad that you did before IMO, but the editing thing really doesn't sit well with Minga and neither does the hypocrisy, so Minga's vote is staying where it is. Let Minga guess... this is all based off you reading Laura's post, which she just said was a mistake caused by skimreading? Are you sure you're not guilty of the same offence? Wait - you think that Claw did a good/proper analysis and Minga didn't ??? Please tell me how you analyse votes. How Minga analyses votes is shown in her two analysis posts. If you think that is the wrong way to do an analysis, pray tell, enlighten me.

To be honest, he wasn't this inactive in Unrest, the only game I've ever played with him in. Minga is extremely sorry for the slip in the previous sentence. What was Minga thinking? Stupid humans and their desire to refer to themselves as I..

Avalanche pauses to shout to the mystic knight, "Warlen! Maybe it would be better for you to target Scary Crows B or Scary Crows C, to avoid more Free Hits? The Canaries already get a free hit, and we don't want to risk anyone getting knocked out if the round goes badly,"

Oh Agreed ^^ The thing is, Minga stated her intention to make a vote analysis in the post before Claw's "analysis". Minga's actual analysis then followed. Claw's post almost seemed as if he was trying to "outdo" Minga and post an "analysis" quicker than her in order to appear active and townie. Thanks Okay, so you thought Minga was scum but you changed your mind but you still gut feel that Minga is scum? That makes soooo much sense... Quote of the game here Minga highly disapproves of plagiarism. Referring to oneself in the third person is trademarked by Minga Gorgon, Supreme President of the Noble Race of Fa'Anta Cera! Not only have you failed to respond to Minga's accusation against you, you're continuing to be hypocritical (note the bolded text). Deflecting attention much?? You omitted Major Dave, I think. Time for Minga's vote. While several people have ended up on Minga's scum-list for various reasons, Minga's strongest suspicion at the moment goes to... Vote: Laura Starbucks (Tariq j) Read the previous couple of pages to see why. As with yesterday, Minga's vote is subject to change

Avalanche attacks the Canary Mob from the front row with Silver Cup of Victory.

Our beloved Host clarified this at the beginning of the Day. Although players are submittingbrickmario loves Disney! actions, they're not "roles" per se, apparently. Most of us know that excessive defending is a scum-tell. You're going after Clem for not defending herself... Big ping. You have basically quoted Minga's post and truncated it by removing the parts where Minga analysed the vote. Minga is not sure how you interpret "analysis" but how Minga analyses the vote is this: She goes through the votes, briefly comments on everyone's vote and then draws her opinion of the people from how they voted. You've just taken part of Minga's post and used that to call Minga a hypocrite... and to deflect suspicion from yourself to Minga. Now it's you who's the hypocrite, Laura dear... Minga concurs. She also had a problem finding Paul's name (since it is not in his signature). That is really the only problem- Zipzup will have to get used to the two Pies.... Brickmario loves Disney!? I posted the word p r a n k. Nope, you definitively called him scum. (ie. you said that the only explanation was that he was scum). Minga was surprised at your certainty in your opinion. Does Harriet mean to say that her whole "list of suspicions" thing was just Doctor Wen and nothing else? Bit of a big deal for one name, especially considering you voted him anyway...

Vasquez, if Clementine is telling the truth, then she would have been notified had the vigilante died (I think.... ). Therefore if she is who she says she is, then the Vig is alive & kicking.

Okay, here goes the Clementine wagon analysis: 6 votes for Clementine Lister (Lind Whisperer): (Chromeknight, Sir Stig, Xenophobic Monoxide, Lazychicken, Lady K, Dragonfire) After voting opened, Harriet, Seamus, Laura and Bock put down votes on Wen in succession. Clark (confirmed town) was the first to vote for Clem, breaking the pattern. His reasoning was based on Clem's odd comments about Seamus being the godfather. Half an hour later, Zipzup votes, citing Clark's post as his reasoning for the vote. Like Minga, he said that if Wen was scum it was very foul play indeed. After Rip's vote for Wen, Wen himself then votes Clementine. Not much can be gained from this as we know Wen was town and he was basically voting to save himself. About twenty minutes after Wen's vote, Claw votes for Clementine. His reasons are that she is suspecting too many people on Day One. and is trying to spread votes and cause a no lynch (He also agrees with Zipzup on the foul play theory). Then there's quite a long gap. Two more votes on Wen, a couple of people saying they think both lynchees are town, and then Clem's vote on Harriet. Vasquez makes her vote at this point. She cites multiple reasons, including Clem's calling people out for posting fluff, going after newbies, making scummy comments about Seamus being the godfather, and trying to look active and helpful. Three minutes later, Minga votes for Clementine too. Minga was last online before voting opened, and Minga was busy reading the thread and deciding who to vote for when Vasquez voted. Minga didn't see Vasquez's post until she herself had hit post. Minga voted for Clementine because of metagame reasons (read the voting post) and the reasons she had stated earlier in the day. This vote was the last vote on Clementine. Honestly, in Minga's opinion if there is scum on the wagon, it is probably Claw. Vasquez brought up some solid points against Clementine; Zipzup made a good point advocating Wen's towniness, Clark and Wen have died and flipped town, and Minga knows she is town too. Claw's reasons don't make much sense. Calling four people out on Day One is good - it provides discussion and gets people talking. Besides, did Claw seriously think that Clementine could influence the entire town into spreading their votes? Furthermore, Claw was parroting others' theories. Not that I outright scumread him, but he is the likeliest scum on the Clementine wagon. I must say though, his vote was far townier than half of the Wen votes. One more thing. Harriet, you were worried about getting killed at night if you posted your scum-list. Well, you didn't die. Care to post your list now? Keeping it hidden doesn't do anyone any good...

Okay, Minga will try her best. But couldn't Zipzup do some work himself instead of just asking others to do it for him??

Okay. Here's Minga's vote analysis (just of the Wen bandwagon for now). 11 votes for Doctor Wen (Xenophobic Monoxide) (Mediumsnowman, Hinckley, Tariq, Bob, Captain Nemo, TinyPiesRUs, CallMePie, Fhomess, Piratedave84, Jluck, Ranger of the Forest) First vote on Wen was Harriet. She had previously been extremely impatient for voting to start and had stated point blank that Dr. Wen was scum. Seamus soon followed, citing Wen's suspicious behaviour as his reason for voting; he had previously expressed his suspicion. Laura and Bock were next; both provided limited reasoning other than "his posts are suspicious". After two votes on Clementine, Rip then followed, in a similar fashion to the previous two votes. After a further two votes on Clementine, Nathan chimes in, pointing out some discrepancies in Wen's posts and using them as a basis for his vote. This is quickly followed by Diamond, who earlier called out Wen's contradictions. Major Dave placed the next vote, using Nathan's points as his basis for voting. And Paul votes as well, once again providing little reasoning or explanation other than "he's scummy". Ender (confirmed town) hammered the lynch. And then Hannah got her vote in, while saying that she wished she didn't have to. Overall, Minga thinks that the majority of the Wen vote was comprised of bandwagon-y, sheepy votes which just stacked up and spelled Wen's doom. Only Diamond and Nathan actually made good cases against Wen, while Seamus was the first to call him out for his scummy posting. The votes which look the scummiest to Minga are Harriet, Laura, Rip and Paul's votes, simply because of the lack of reasoning and mindless bandwagoning. I bet if Clementine had defended himself Laura would have said "Ping, you're SO scummy for defending yourself!" And I do think Clementine has a point about Rip, whether it was deflection or not.

Avalanche nods in thanks to Erik and takes the Silver Cup of Victory, equipping it. "I agree with the battle mage. Shall we begin with the Corn Maze, with no challenges, and slowly head West to face whatever menace awaits us?"

Yes, having Clementine's claim out in public will probably keep the lynch off her back for a while now. Smart scum move too - Clem was one of the top suspects and may well have been lynched today had she not claimed. Minga would like to scrutinise the Doctor Wen bandwagon from yesterday. Wen was a perfect opportunity for scum to pile onto a Loyal newbie and get an easy lynch. Minga will provide some vote analysis shortly.

No problem Vartland sounds pretty cool!
