Well, a lot has been said, and it looks like there are a few cases that can be followed up next day, which is promising.

In terms of the cases made, I dislike pretty much anything going of 'gut' this early in the game. The case on Serc could be promising if we had more to go off, and I would like to hear his defence of it. I would also like to hear more from Liosan about his summarising, and I agree with whoever said it before, that if it continues tomorrow it merits a further look. I'm honestly not seeing much in the case against Korvalain. I don't remember what made up the case against Mockra, and I don't have time to do a proper reread until the weekend.

So for now I'm happy with my vote on Karosis. I know some people think he is being too directional to be scum, but I can't help thinking back to the newb game when Gust Hubb led everyone around the whole game. I'm willing to change if it means the lynch, but I should be around at the end of day so I'm leaving it there for now.



I agree with pretty much everything except the bit in bold. So you would prefer to go on guy LATE in a game?


Nope, I never said that. While I dislike anything that goes on gut, I think it is understandable that people have gut suspicions later in the game, and those can be used to go back and find out what made you suspicious in the first place. What I meant was dislike anyone talking about gut feelings this early in the game, and I find it suspicious.


So no time is a good time for gut? I'm a bit confused

Only 2.5 hours left in Day 1 and still no lynch? Surprising... Normally we get lynches easily on Day 1...
OK. A Korvalain lynch seems unlikely, a Karosis lynch seems likely with about half the votes needed already on him. I see no other option for a lynch that we can pull together in 2.5 hours so, sorry Karosis...
Vote Karosis



Do you need to remove your vote?


Gah. Hate that.

Vote Karosis



Not your fault, your worship.

@thread - sorry for my lack of participation, RL requirements are kicking me in the nuts


@Sil - I think maybe everybody is tired of the 1st Day failures and are looking for something substantial to go on. This is the biggest number of different people being voted I can remember in a while on Day 1.

would you care to direct me to the case so I can try to study it - a page number will do. I see there has been a lot of back & forth and my time is limited

? You do know that the statements about Silanah's infalibility are jokes, right? If Silanah has any more clue than the rest of us, they sure haven't shown that. Voting with Silanah doesn't automatically make you any less suspicious.

I can't remember if there's one big case or if it's a few people saying that Karosis constant vote-hopping (I think he's switched votes 4 or 5 times) makes him look like he doesn't care who's lynched.

I think Serc meant the case on themself, which is page 7 just over halfway down by Tennes

Edit: case, not cast

I would have thought the last game would have made being a post leader not exactly something to aspire to :p

This seems to be against the grain to what is on thread. Reading through the first few posts it appears out of context. Like he is trying but failing to fit in.

This isn't against the grain - everybody else is checking in, high 5s, bowing to Emperor - Your opinion that I fail to fit in is unjustified.

Post number 80/81 something like that

Vote Serc



Really? Because on my screen its still the grumpy Chinese man

EDIT: fixed now


The discussion on thread at the time was about Rashan. Silanah had just voted for him. Atrahal had just made a case on Rashan (which resonated with me). Karosis had mentioned voted off "coasters" or those trying to keep a low profile. Following this case on Rashan by Atrahal both kalse and Korv immdeiately agree. serc agrees but doesn't add any of his own thoughts, he just posts those two posts about avatars.


I am reflecting the posts that I noticed and am following along the general thread here. There was no need to embellish things beyond what the others were asking. IT's only a short time into the game, too soon for conflict because very little has happened.


I cannot remember these post numbers as i'm half way through but these last two posts show one liners against Tellan. It is like he wants to avoid confrontation and conflict but add to the amounting pressure on Rashan.

Steve? No, Silanah is Go-Kashiwabara, our Emperor.

I highly doubt my fellow Ministers would be so ignorant as all previous posters seem. Too many to vote now, I will sulk in my own despair.

What manner of recruiter will attempt to bribe us, I wonder. Certainly nothing civil so far.



View PostRashan, on 13 March 2012 - 02:31 PM, said:

I, for one, consider it interesting that there may be more than one lowly briber. A single entity taking advantage of our temporary lack of funds does not surprise me, but multiple? Perhaps we will be able to play them against each other.



This is what is being referred to, previously quoted by someone else, Atrahal maybe
I would like clarification on the underlined part

I can't really see anything in his posts that I would describe as properly discussing mechanics though.


discussing mechanic = vague Maybe role speculation would be more accurate


I am going to have another look to see if there is anything else added by Serc but I don't think there is. My point is that Serc seems to want to avoid notice. He stands out from the thread because he does not participate with what is being said.



That being said I have only had one full read through the thread.

I asked a question I felt needed an answer. I'm just now getting back to try to play some more. If I tryly wanted to avoid notice, I would not have asked for more info, nor voiced an opinion about RP. Underlined last part simply not true.

Posts 15 and 17 between D'riss and Barghast could be just banter but it could also be looked at as signalling as they talk about food. Karosis votes for D'riss then Serc then Kalse then Okaros. Is that them all? His plays screams that any body will do as long as it isn't him. His vote becomes less strong due to this fact. Rashan mentioned the recruiter and also a killing pair under silanah's leadership which came out of no where, rashan also mentioned in one of his posts, in fact, post 94 that there may only be one scum and a symp whereas it states in the OP that there are multiple scum. Korv mentioned multiple scum and how he thinks they would play in post number 131.



That is all I have at the moment. My top 3 for scum today would be Rashan, Serc and Karosis. Karosis seems to have his fingers in the most pies at the moment. If he is scum we could look at who he hasn't voted. His first vote on Serc though smacked of a hello.



For now I am going to



Vote Serc



I should be back later to change my vote if needed.



I appreciate you're trying to put forth things that strike you as noteworthy, but these things you have said are either simply opinion or untrue

There are currently 8 votes on Karosis, 11 needed to lynch. I don't feel the need to vote him as of yet, and I don't feel strongly toward him being scum. I will be around until timeout to switch if needed.

No, I am interested in the case on Karosis, not just myself. I want to make an informed vote here.

With a couple of hours to go before time out is it really that surprising that it's building up? We kinda need it to to get a lynch

I'm going to end up voting Karosis, I think, but I'm currently reading through the thread because I keep mixing him up. My day one is a shambles.

Karosis is the loud outspoken one. Korvalain is the quieter, scummier one. (In my opinion, of course).

I just prefer lynches that are hard to get. Usually means the symps are doing their best to stop it.
