Hinckley

I'm paying close attention to what you've said. It seems to me you've only discussed one possibility. Can you point out where you named all the other ones?

You're satisfied that he might throw a random vote out??

Vote: Larry Larch (TheLazyChicken) partly because he refuses to put his damn name in his signature as has been repeatedly requested, but moreso for: Defending two people for seemingly no reason. Specifically because you are trying to stop people for voting for other people but not offering any alternatives, reasons or votes of your own. You tell William his reasoning is off and then you say he's not helpful. Well, is he just dumb? Inexperienced? Uninformed? A Maple himself? Similarly, you defend Bobby's post-editing to Chester and again seem concerned with the argument for voting for Bruce. I don't like Bobby or Berty's behavior either. Berty, for the reasons I've already stated and Bobby for defending him. I know Bobby says he wasn't but I think his justification has holes in it too.

It didn't seem like caution or discussing other possibilities. It seemed dismissive. So what are these alternate possibilities as you see it?

At least he has Bobby to defend him.

And yet you seem somewhat dismissive of the Maple possibilities.

True, but it still pinged me. Is there any reason you find the need to defend Berty?

Well, Mr. Dicork-post-editor, It's possible a Maple would assume that all Oaks are Garden Variety without understanding what it was that the great elder clarified for us.

Do you have some trouble using the quote button?

This is what I thought you were assuming and that is what is pinging me about you. I was very jealous of Hickory Dickory Dock because that is clearly my name, but no I am Simon, so there.

Bruce had questioned her last statement and Waldorf had mentioned the suspicion before that. Not saying that clears either one of them, but I don't think the connection that you're insinuating is there. It came at an unfortunate time. The great tree in the sky had just clarified role PM structure and it seemed like you could've thought that "garden variety" meant Oaks, when it only means vanilla. It struck me as an odd joke and I can now kind of see how it relates to Oakiest of Oaks, but... it's still a ping. Yes, those are the standard Mafia rules and it is typical to leave the instructions for third parties regardless of the addition of third parties. That being said, I would expect a game with this many players to have a neutral, but I think discussing it any further should wait until Day Two when we see some night results come in. All we can do until then is speculate and that will only distract us from doing anything productive about today's decapitation. Or ivisceration, or whatever it would be called when you're cut off from the roots up. Yikes... Why do you need to ask if someone is suspicious? Do you find them suspicious? If so, then it's still on the table. Do you find William suspicious? Is it? Or are you joking? I don't see a jokey emoticon. Oh shut up, Catarina. You're not the only female. What do you think Vickory Dickory is? Or Adelaide or Agnes? Hazel, Lauren, Maggie, Sue? Are they just men in drag? Didn't you notice you weren't the only tree in the ladies' room? Even I wear a dress every once in a while. Your fluff is not only excessive, it's inaccurate. Denying him/her? I didn't lock him up. He can come explain himself whenever he wants. Not Hickory, Simon! Why can't you tell us apart. You're on my bad side now. See? Here he is. The concern of contacting someone so early is that you might be trying to establish contact to get Townies to trust you. Some players may expect Scum to avoid private contact unless approached and being proactive can help throw people off your trail. Not saying that's what you're doing, but that's the average trick of figuring out people who contact you on page 1 of Day 1. Maybe I'm wrong, but the ping for me was that he seemed like he was trying to call Nash out for a scum-slip. Perhaps I'm over-pinging on it. I'm not Hickory Dickory Dock! I'm Simon. Get it right! Are you saying we all look alike to you??

You're still fluffing.

Is that me? Is that my name? I think it is... So, no. You don't see. Read my posts again. Regurgitated puns. Fluffy fluff fluff. Morning wood.

I thought people had a problem with her response. The say she was sucking up. So why trust her response? I see what I did. The concern is Catarina sucking up to Hickory Dickory. I searched out what Hickory said. Yes, Catarina has pinged me as well. A lot of fluff. Perhaps the punniest of the puns...

Or someone who might've thought that all Oaks were garden variety, which may be somewhat toeing rule 5 for me to consider... I have a similar mate. Weird. Can you quote this weird statement? This? But this is the only thing Vickory Dickory has said at all. How is this what people are latching onto? I make banana pancakes fresh and put Raspberry Greek yogurt on them. My yogurt is h free.

Sure there is, you made us waffles.

Forget pancakes, when we have waffles. It's basically more of a question? Is it a question or a statement. This shouldn't be so hard. Anyway, if it's a question...8 is possible, though it seems high. Now where are we? Did that get us anywhere? I still feel I'm rooted to the same spot. That's not a pun, it's a tree's state of being.

No, I was responding to your discussion. That's discussing... No, more typical I would say. Is this a pun-laden request for PMs? I keep getting stuck on this post. It pings me slightly. This seems the least helpful, most fluffy. Especially since it's so non-committal. Eight Scum might be too much but it's still a possibility, isn't it? It's not really saying or asking anything directly. Ping.

And not being a fan of William could be all these two were really saying. Suspicion revolving around him on Day One really is less of a surprise than all of the "Do we have 3 maples? 12? Is there a serial killer?" posts we are sifting through. I like this post. You're funny. What language is that first part? Hey, good news, anyway. Alejandro is getting a Town read off of your reactions in this thread. Congratulations.

I only put yogurt on my pancakes anyway... Does this bug anybody else??

My initial thought is that one is excited I'm a tree again as I haven't been for a while and the other always contacts me on Day One when we are trees and no matter what side they are on, has to contact me Day One. So, it really means nothing. One person simply asked if William had changed their gameplay at all in the last year? I suppose they mean, "Is he less of a dick?" For those who don't know, he has this reputation although I've always liked him. The other said he thought William was Scummy and this was right when this thread had reached the first post of page 2. There hasn't been any justification for this person's suspicion but they said they'd accuse him if he did anything "blatantly" Mapley. I don't get a strong read from any of this info as it could very well be quite typical of both of these people. At the request of William, the one who always contacts me on Day One has the name of Alejandro.

I know some of the answers! Because I'm the one who contacted him. Not sure it's worth bringing out into the Sun yet, but someone did PM me after one page of posts and mentioned they thought William was Scummy but not "blatantly" so. It could be weird, but it could also be typical. I thought it was worth mentioning to William and so I did. Then another old tree friend contacted me as well and also asked my opinion of William. Now I've been a tree before in other lives and so people like to contact me and William's been a dick and people like to suspect him, so I'm not sure it means anything but it is interesting.

Why would he need to mean garden variety?

What? You mean green text and declarations of Oakliness don't convince you? It's fun to pick on those trees that decided not to grow in this lifetime. I feel the need to say "Hi Speedy, we love you" but not sure why I would. That would be out of character and I don't pull shit like that. Or maybe he's not picking on anyone. I just remember he inherited his oakliness not unlike royalty.

A wolf just tried to pee on me. Then I beat a dead horse.
