The Revenge of Inishmore! [Concluded]

[Sigurd]

Soo I was looking for this Chamander who ATPG was refering to who had been exposed, saw Yasei's edits and figured it was about a particular player.

Reenk seems to think it is Yaropolk.
Joooray seems to believe this too.
If the cat is out of the sack so to speak, why hold back. TinCow removed himself from a game because of such knowledge which is the only workable solution. Ignoring or pretending stuff didn't happen doesn't work because you will always have the unwanted knowledge lurking in the back of you mind which is a distraction.

Act on it and move on.

There are many moderators in these games and I suspect we all can see the posts (not the post content) that are deleted. At least I can see deleted posts outside the gameroom. If there is deleted posts accompanying host warnings and "I am sorry" posts - they become double suspicious.

This is a case of designing to fit the environment and not trying to cram the environment into a specific design. You just can't depend on players not messing up. It always happen.
I am not host bashing BTW... Just factor in private reveals and public displays of losing one's dentures.

I can't play dumb. Playing with all factulties in "on mode" is the only enjoyable way of playing.

Personally I was only referring to Reenk there, I have no idea what happened and who did what.
Apart from that I support the point you make.

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.

'khaan actually missed a mention or two of Yarapolk from the quotes, so if you actually read the posts, you can tell.

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.

Apologies, and that post I thought of either never existed or has dissapeared.

I do keep my love and my hosting life apart though.

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?
