You can see my reply on the subjects. 'khaan went through and edited as he saw fit, told me after.
The town will play as it does, Yara may die for it, but if he does, the game will return to normal.
What I don't understand is Reenk acting as if he knows Yaropolk is the name removed from the edited posts, despite having only "scanned the last pages".
Also, I'm puzzled as to how it is that voting for anyone other than Yaro deserves the FoS, given that Reenk himself voted for Crazed Rabbit earlier in the day.
Firstly, I know that the pair of you have a certain... attachment, but given your role as host here, I think you should allow Reenk to answer for himself.
Secondly, clearly I'm not the most perceptive reader, but having reviewed all of the posts since the morning update, I still can't find anything that makes it blindingly obvious that Yaropolk is the player in question. Indeed, Reenk himself did not seem to realise it when he cast his original vote against Crazed Rabbit, and only came to that conclusion after 'scanning' those pages later on.
Hence, I'm puzzled as to how he can justify pointing the FoS at everyone else. Because in the absence of any such justification, and with a generalised FoS putting nobody under pressure, it looks to me like a rather scummy move.
Zack had been chosen to be the next to be "thrown" into "prison". With the conflict nearing a week in length, prison was actually looking rather nice to a few of the townspeople. Zack, certainly had no desire to waste a single minute outside.
"Hahah! Safety! Oh well folks, I'll see what remains of you out on the other side!"

It is now Night 6. Night will end in 23 hours, 39 minutes. (Midnight Monday 26th April 2010 GMT +10)
Killed 10, lynched 3, alive 22. This is going to be tough.
Maybe there is something to you saying you aren't the most perceptive reader as I thought it was pretty clear that Yaropolk was the guy in question that Blackadder alluded to, especially made explicit due to GH's vote and then unvote. Granted, I skimmed and then formed a conclusion as I usually do and that has led me to being mistaken before but it is confirmed here with Yaropolk being the one we want.
As you seem to be vested in Yaropolk's defense and take great offense to being FoS'd (even as a group), I think you're the man I want after Yaropolk. MAJOR FOS: WH + retaliation.
You didn't just say "the way I'm reading it, Yaropolk is the one everybody's talking about" - you actually cast the FoS against everybody for not voting against him, as if it was blatantly obvious he was the one. And you say you got that from nothing other than GH's commentless vote...
I didn't know whether you just guessed, or if you had some other reason for making what was, at best, an assumption based on the most limited evidence. But it's strange that you didn't mention that that tiny detail was your only source when you threw down your all-encompassing FoS.
On that subject, I can assure you that what you mistakenly see as 'offence' is nothing of the sort. It's merely experience telling me that the guy who tries to set himself up as the townie par excellence is often a villain.
And, with regards to your 'saving Yaropolk' comment, it strikes me that the buddies of a known villain are much more likely to try to get on his bandwagon, aiming to put distance between them, than to do anything that might look like defending him.
Of course, I'm unsurprised that you're looking to turn suspicions on me once I called you out on a pointless and self-serving FoS. After all, my actions can easily be spun as an attempt to divert a late bandwagon on Yaro.
But the question remains: if it was so blindingly obvious that Yaro was the badguy mentioned in those edited posts, then why did you fail to vote against him in the first place?
I'm away on vacation, reading the thread on the blackberry every once in a while. RR - I have no clue what you're even accusing me of. I went back and read the last few pages and apparently TM revealed something, which was later edited out. Can you tell me what that was since everyone already knows?
My apologies to the host, I'll promptly lodge my vote in 24 hours.
Yaro, TM apparently was frustrated about this game (I know this first hand - check what he sent me on my profile) and apparently revealed something post mortem that damned someone, strongly suggested to be you (despite WH not "seeing" it) and later all but confirmed.
Given that you seem completely aloof from the game though and WH's scumminess, I'm willing to second guess it for a bit. It could be TM just being pissed. Who/what are you?
So?

Cool story.On that subject, I can assure you that what you mistakenly see as 'offence' is nothing of the sort. It's merely experience telling me that the guy who tries to set himself up as the townie par excellence is often a villain.

Yup, this is partly what I'm thinking at the moment, thanks for saving me from typing it. The main thing though, is that you are exactly guilty of what you are trying to ascribe to me, i.e. that you are trying to make a case on someone and act like Mr. Town which is a stark change in behavior from your earlier and much less aggressive play. Thanks for coming out though.Of course, I'm unsurprised that you're looking to turn suspicions on me once I called you out on a pointless and self-serving FoS. After all, my actions can easily be spun as an attempt to divert a late bandwagon on Yaro.

Hang on...
So now you're suggesting that Yaropolk may not be guilty, whilst trying to set me up for the next lynch instead?
...is no kind of answer.Various reasons.
So?If you're going to point the FoS at everyone in general and nobody in particular - for doing something which you yourself did only a few hours earlier - then you ought to at least be able and prepared to justify that.Why?
Instead, what I'm seeing is you looking for various ways to avoid engaging with the matter at hand (for example, by resorting to the cheapest of sarcastic come-backs: "Cool story").
Oh, and I've never really been set on making a case against you - it was just a matter of pushing to see what response I got from someone who did something I found suspicious. Right now, though, I'd say that you're in danger of making a pretty good case against yourself.
I mean, you could have just admitted that you made a mistake with what was a rather silly FoS. I reckon most townies would have done exactly that, rather than attempting to defend it in so evasive a manner.
I've already responded to everything you asked, usually I'm not so courteous.
A lot of the stuff you said was basically irrelevant stuff about your experience and play and what not. I thought I was being nice.
As for me FoSing everyone it still stands, I'm unaware why so many people would ignore the Yaropolk accusation. I don't see the mistake in it?
I don't think I'm in any danger. Good drama though.![]()
Ah, switching to the old expert-humouring-the-newbie routine now, are we?
Well, it's true that "Various reasons" was a response... Not much of an answer, though.
Could you explain what those reasons were?
So why are you acting any different now, then?
I would hazard a guess that a fair few of them, like me, didn't even realise that Yaropolk was the one mentioned.
What?
Was thinking CR when I first logged into the thread, and when I made that vote I didn't read through the thread that much because I wanted to vote and leave for the round (I remember YLC the most then). Came back to the thread and you know the rest.Well, it's true that "Various reasons" was a response... Not much of an answer, though.
Could you explain what those reasons were?
Various reasons.So why are you acting any different now, then?
It's about that stage in the game where I should get more involved. Plus I'm being nice.Why are you acting differently by the way?
OK, well I think that's too convenient of an excuse.I would hazard a guess that a fair few of them, like me, didn't even realise that Yaropolk was the one mentioned.
By the way, you said earlier that this wasn't the first time my behavior struck you as suspect. Now since you seem to be saying that you aren't really into making a case against me, I am kinda wondering why that is, and what those other suspicious things were.
That's enough out of you, Winston.

So... yeah... either Secura or Niklas is scum, likely Secura. You people seem to be forgetting that. I recommend that you pressure them both with votes tomorrow.
The end of the game's going to be major egg on your face, TC.

I understand where everyone is coming from with the sportsmanship issue here, but with the current record of 10 kills per 3 lynches, we don't have lynches to waste, and a good lynch now could save kill later, and grant us more time. What's done is done, but if you start making allowances to the mafia, where do you stop? How many townies have to die before it's ok to off the mafia.
Why does nobody think of the townies!?!?![]()
Good point about the math. Unless some of the dead'uns were killers for other factions, we do not have many days left.
Suspicions:
Secura:
Niklas:
It seems likely, based on what was said above, that someone infiltrated and then starting mopping up the aussie/mason team. Secura is under suspicion for not having been priested back to normal townie, but priested to evil betrayer. Niklas for being perky in the QT the masons had set up and then dropping into quiet mode. Tincow, weren't you in there too?
Reenk:
Winston:
Bit of a urination match here. Reenk is playing with Winston to solicit infor/cause him to squirm. Winston is replying as though aggrieved thereby.
My gut says that we'll need to remove one from each set and soon. But which? Time to ponder and listen.

Something I just realised, by the way; if I'm supposed to have given away the identities of the Australians to some other faction, should you not be asking pevergreen to WOG me?
Revealing identities in private is forbidden, and I was almost WOG'd for doing so in our QuickTopic (revealed a townie identity to the masons)... I would assume that doing so again would mean instant WOG for repeated rule-breaking. If you think I've been doing this, appeal for a WOG, do not ask for a lynch to be wasted.
"Blacker than a moonless night. Hotter and more bitter than Hell itself… that is coffee."
Sorry. I just got bored with being completely in the dark about everything, and tried to liven things up a bit.
I'll try to tone it down a bit from now on.
Did I really sound aggrieved? If anything, I'd say I was enjoying the urination match rather too much. I really couldn't care less if it made me a suspect.
