Lynching me is a shit idea

Hello JJ, how are you?

Why is there a Wikey lynch? Can someone explain it to me in 100 words or less?

Inactivity, a general display of apathy to the game, and no serious contribution to ousting scum.

I believe that is why people are lynching me.

Well, I am all caught up! That was a long read.

Firstly, this lynch on me is ridiculous, and the only 'evidence' against me of any merit is the two Korr quotes from yesterday that Vic brought up. It's a sketchy case at best. I find it interesting how often my name has come up whilst reading back. Several players have done so. Nobert, Vic, Ari and Lamps, to name a few. Lamps is the worst though. I seem to be his number one suspect, and have been so since early Day 2, when all he had to go on was my Day 1 activity. I find it a bit odd how much he is going for me.

Anyways, there are a few major things that struck out to me.

- Moose's vanilla claim. I don't know what possessed her (sorry Moose, it's hard to differentiate gender with pixels!) to claim so early. It would be a pretty clever move if she is scum. I think town would buy someone messing up like that, given the confusing nature of this setup. What we need to decide is whether or not Moose genuinely got confused, or if she is a nasty liar. It surprises me that we aren't pursuing this more. I wonder if KC would even allow players to have the choice between the same role.

I mean, what happened? Did Moose get a PM from KC saying:

KC

Here are your role choices: Vanilla Town A Vanilla Town B WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE?!

If this is what happened, surely she would just get a PM saying:

KC

Hey you shit, you drew Vanilla Town TWICE, so you don't get to choose. FUCK YOU! Enjoy the game :)

I find it unlikely that Moose didn't get a choice between two roles. Really unlikely. It's the premise of the game is it not?

- Another major thing to look at more is the shit storm following Rob's results on Curtis yesterday. The first thing that happened was that JJ brought up the possibility of the Alien Pyschothing. I can't give her too much credit for bringing this up, since the role was easily visible to anybody who cared to check. If JJ didn't bring it up, somebody else would have. From a scum perspective, it would make total sense to bring it up asap.

Vic and Nofo both joined the train. I didn't really like that they both posted something along the lines of "Unless something else comes up" with their posts. That doesn't strike me as a particularly town reaction to a cop revealing a positive scan result. Here are the quotes:

Vic

##lynch Curtis I'll go with this for now. What's the difference between Aliens and Werewolves? I still don't understand that.

Nofo

##Lynch Curtis Unless something more concrete pops up, I'm willing to believe a claim like that.

I don't know why Vic felt the need to remind everybody he was still confused about the setup. And Nofo...what is more concrete than a town cop saying he has a positive result on someone? I know that JJ was quick to point out the pyscho thing, and those scans can't be trusted in hindsight. But at the time, I would have expected their reactions to be more aggressive.

Moose followed this with an eerily similar post!

Moose

I could go with a Curtis lynch. ##lynch Curtis. The claim seems pretty solid, unless something else pops up.

Plenty of others joined the Curtis train, but these ones stuck out to me as scummy.

##Lynch Moose

I would definitely like to hear from her again! Maybe she can clear up what her PM from KC looked like. Without direct quoting obviously.

I guess we could also ask KC if the rules would have even allowed for this. But that wouldn't be fun, would it?

Well as it stands you guys are lynching me.

And I think that is a very silly thing indeed.

I am not sure Paul is the best person to switch too...
