The process by which the CME clearing house, in response to a long exercising its option, randomly selects a seller to fulfill its obligation to buy or sell the underlying futures contract at its strike price. The assigned seller of a put must buy the underlying futures contract; the assigned seller of a call must sell the underlying futures contract.

Don't encourage him.

While you're here Denul, we might as well have some productive conversation. How do you see the rest of the players left right now? You're CI as far as I'm concerned, so your opinions are especially valuable.

[Eloth]

So uh, I sorta got caught playing a little too much Mafia when I was supposed to be working on Friday, so I can't post right now like I usually would. It's going to be a few hours till I get off work and then I should have time but my boss put the kibosh on "forums", so I will not be able to post at work like before right now. I had to go to the shitter and type this on my phone. -_-

When are you expecting to have time to post? I'm sure we can keep tuning Shadow out for a few more hours...

[Eloth]

I'm guessing like 6 hours or something? From what I can parse through Shadow's rambling that should still be well before timeout right? I'll check back in to confirm in case that's not right but now I have to go. Sorry, I just can't get around this atm.

There's nothing to really stick to in trying to say someone is or isn't scum as a whole, if we are believing there could be scum other than Kenshiro, as the warlord-related information we have had to work around could explain so much behaviour in the earlier days, and we would have no idea what could or could not be a follower scum role. But purely in terms of Kenshiro/not Kenshiro:

Tiam I am still suspicious of being Kenshiro, albeit less so than before. Mainly for his inconsistancy earlier on and seems reluctant to push too hard in these later days. He also fits with Lock's timing cases.

Eloth, Lock and I believed to be at most a symp after yesterday's discussions, so not Kenshiro. This was due to how he somewhat outed himself, as well as timings with the Ampelas NK.

Bek has been totally off-the-radar. She basically hasn't posted more and has hardly interacted with anyone except on day 1 and for only a few short bits since. Doesn't push very hard or very early, has only brought up a couple accusations, but isn't so low-posting or low-content as to make anyone think she is suspiciously absent. So basically the definition of "smooth", but that's all I've got on her. I could say a lot of players have played smooth/low-level games this game... if that's all I've got I can't advocate pursuing her as Kenshiro more than, say, Tiam.

GL - similar boat as Bek, though a bit pushier. Some of his interpersonal interactions have seemed a bit weird... like they're almost restrained? But that's me reading it, hard to say it's anything more than gut. GL fits some of Lock's timing cases, so I would be happy with a GL lynch, but again since there's little else to go on here I'd tend to prefer Tiam. I need to go back and re-read, but I have a weird inkling that GL has been pushing for the Shadow lynch repeatedly more than others, much might be worth additional suspicion if true.

Okral - has been fairly pushy, has made some unorthodox cases and stuck to them, but also not totally blinkered like Tiam/Shadow have been. Seems pretty darn inno to me.

[Denul]

Since this is probably one of the few times I can get away with making a list without an immediate "scum love lists" gut reaction from everyone:

Shadow
Tiam
GL
Bek
Okral
Eloth
Myself

would be my current preferences overall.

Thanks - good to get some info (I always hated the 'scum love lists' thing - I think it has set back our level of play quite a bit).

Personally, I'm not quite as quick to clear Eloth of being Kenshiro. I must have missed the bit where he outed himself, plus I'm not wholly convinced by the timing argument. Having said that, last time I made a list in my head I reckoned he could be symping Tiamatha so would agree that, were he scum, a symp fits the profile a bit better.

That should be OK - this post from Path-Shaper indicates that we've got a little under 15 hours until timeout still.

When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred.
