You guys didn´t listen to me about Karkador and see what happened. I told you guys about the odds he was town, you didn´t listen. Of course, I was not expecting him to be the cop, but there was no need to lynch him after we lynched bats.
Now I am telling you exactly why is better to lynch Blarg, and again you guys (As in Sorian) are focused on the first suspect, without looking into the big picture and the odds.
My vote for Blargonaut is set and I hope for the good of town at least a few of you follow it, I am sure SURE is the best for town.
My thoughts on Kark before the lynch was made clear in this post:
Karkador
I think he's town. One hell of a bizarre town play, but town. I mean I'd easily give him my vote for his behaviour after my claim, it went to comical panto villain levels. I just don't feel confident that he'll flip anything other than town. Do i think the lynch is still worthwhile?
Yes, because we've gotten to a point much like batsnacks where if he stays around he'll always be a point of discussion. A cop could investigate him to clear but:
1. I hope, after bringing the point up in my claim, that the cop doesn't actually claim to reveal this. This would mean we'd never really know Kark's alignment until a bit later. Will Kark be alive by then?
2. I'm obviously going to be lynched at some point, but I feel between us, I'm probably going to be trusted a little bit more than Kark over here, mainly because I don't have the two most active posters constantly going for my throat. For that reason, I feel Kark going before me is better for the group, because I don't see Launch or Sorian backing down.
I think despite my arguments, Salva isn't really getting any traction for a lynch today. I think a No Lynch would have been an option if we weren't in this great battle between Launch, Sorian and Kark. This is the reality though, I genuinely think this discussion will be troublesome onward unless one of them goes. The one I think has contributed the least positively out of the three is Kark.
I'll put my vote on him if need be. I obviously won't now because he's already got a number.
It didn't help that his behaviour towards deadline became increasingly frustrating so I wasn't going to drop the vote. Just bringing this up to show I didn't just run in blind on Kark, I thought it was the only acceptable way out of an untenable situation.
Now. Blarg or Fire.
Pros for lynching Fire:
- Verifies Burb, which is good at this stage.
- Could be NFA, so tasty.
- Could reveal more NFA based on Sorian's thinking
Pros for lynching Blarg
- Less Blarg
- We can make sure he doesn't take matters into his own hands with night actions
- We find out if he was lying about his claim (or aspects of it)
- His flip could confirm Fire as NFA and give a nice solid target for D3
I think going for Blarg is my choice, if his claim is true, we're all at the mercy of his vendetta. No, thanks. Launch seems town to me and he's actively going for him, I can't let that happen. I also think his claim was a ploy to get Fire off the table.
VOTE: Blargonaut
Now, squidy is here. Yay. I forsee a great bandwagon on me within two game days. So be it.
Your Questions:
Top 2 Town:
Burb - He's playing like his brief time in Archer, which is lots of useful contributions and insights that help us think about the situations at hand. I didn't like the shade Blarg and Kark threw on those three yesterday because apparently being useful as a poster means suspicion.
Launch - This was between roy and Launch, but there's a gut wrenching pained honesty in his reactions to stuff (post-claim) that make me think only town would be this hurt. Almost a stupid reason. Roy because he's very much like me and I'm town so that's just base comparison there.
Top 2 Scum:
Salva - This has weakened somewhat based on the days actions, as I think he's been pretty integral, but the reasons from yesterday are still there:
1. Going from No Lynch to Lynch on D1 was very strange (this is kind of scuppered because he wanted No Lynch after L_Ps Becky)
2. He initially said he trusted my claim, wanted me lynched. I then posted a lot more and objectively improved my performance from before the claim and he then loses trust in my claim and I'm in his top two scum. Wants me lynched still. I can't follow that logic.
3. The drive by vote on batsnacks that came after going after Blarg and no one else. Weird.
Retro/Squidy - This was more a case of Retro being so quiet making me think he was scum, now you're subbed in and I can only see my death in a very short amount of time.
Reasons why I'm town:
My Claim is obviously a good start, if you want more reading I would try and focus on the difference in my posting before and after the claim, I think that in itself should be good enough evidence for you to form an answer to this question.
I covered Salva being scum, though will reiterate he's lost a bit of suspicion today with his behaviour. Still those three points stick out.
VOTE: Blargonaut
