You're wondering why juan voted for an active, then saying my inactivity is scummy? Oh. No, I said Juan voted for an inactive in this thread. Juan has no way of knowing how much activity goes on in other people's QT unless someone tells him either here in this thread (as I have) or his Mafia partner (if he is scum). My point about you was inactivity in our QT. That's an opinion and it may be valid. Nevertheless, I feel that Max was on a lynch on D-1 and then backed off on D-2 to avoid suspicion. I also found it odd that he suspected Josh but then went after Juan both D-2 and earlier in D-3. One possible reason, as I stated before, is that he stated suspicion of Josh to throw off links to you and, rather than continue to go after josh/me, he switched to Juan. It's plausible but it could be wrong. I wholly admit that. But this is what I got to work with. It's curious that after I throw out the suspicions on Max and you, suddenly Max switches his vote to me. I am Town. Simple as that. If I were scum, why would I ask about the win condition directly in the thread? Why would I place a FoS on my own partner (Kunt) when he was thus far viewed as Town by others? Those would be foolish scum actions.

I don't see the contradiction. I posted a thought on Juan's move seeming scummy. That doesn't mean I am convinced he is scum.

Urgh, the quotes! Let's try this again: Josh added highly erratic at the end of D-1. This tactic may have seemed odd, but I believe he did it to draw attention to himself and hence provoke a lynch. I think he thought you (Kunt) were scum. Now, that is but one piece of evidence I have here and it is not rock solic. That brings me to... Possibly self preservation, but for the empty cases you're setting up against me, followed by saying you're "sure" I'm scum, then putting your vote on Max over your own partner that would get you lynched. Works for me! I never said I was 'sure' you were scum. In fact, in my post, I stated the opposite - I said that I wasn't ready to commit suicide (i.e., vote for you or me) because I wasn't convinced of it. The case against Max, however, is stronger IMO and hence I voted for him. But you seemingly didn't quote that here.

My suspicions of Jason carry over from my suspicions of josh from D1. As town, even if he was pulling out, he had no reason to do what he was doing. Now, for Jason: Now to some ideas: - I read Juan's lengthy analysis post. It came across as town to me except at the end, when (IMO) he pulled a scum-like move - voting for the inactive (me). Why wouldn't he vote for someone like, say, Max instead? I don't get that. - WHERE IS KUNT? No posts in the QT since I joined. I am getting a little suspicious. Perhaps a little too much time in another QT? Nice contradiction there bro. I don't see the contradiction. I posted a thought on Juan's move seeming scummy. That doesn't mean I am convinced he is scum. As a seasoned player, I think that Josh was setting the ground to draw suspicion to his pairing in hopes someone would find him suspicious enough to lynch and thus lynch the one member he believed to be scum - Kunt. Josh had no thoughts to contribute throughout the entirety of the game. I have no idea where this is coming from. Possibly self preservation, but for the empty cases you're setting up against me, followed by saying you're "sure" I'm scum, then putting your vote on Max over your own partner that would get you lynched.

OK guys, back from RI where I was celebrating my Mom's birthday! We went to Foxwoods (casino) and my dad won quite a bit of $$$. But I was out of internet contact for much of the weekend. Boo. :(
- Ugh, well the Devin idea was based on some of the moves from D-1. But it seems like that was a no-go. Admittedly, I wanted to get a vote in because I knew my internet time would be limited. However, based on the readings, I don't know if I would have necessarily changed my mind. If I am not mistaken, this changes the game considerably. Right now there are 3 pairs of teams left. One pair is Town/Town, while the other two are Town/Mafia. That means that, IF the Mafia successfully takes out the last Town/Town team, they win - correct? @mod
Now to some ideas: - I read Juan's lengthy analysis post. It came across as town to me except at the end, when (IMO) he pulled a scum-like move - voting for the inactive (me). Why wouldn't he vote for someone like, say, Max instead? I don't get that. - WHERE IS KUNT? No posts in the QT since I joined. I am getting a little suspicious. Perhaps a little too much time in another QT? - Max was on Codex's lynch and is now after Juan. I noticed that Drag mentioned on D-1 to pay close attention who was on Codex's lynch. Max may have seen that and thought it would be too suspicious to jump on a lynch during D-2. He then put his vote on Juan and kept it as the Devin lynch continued. On D-3, it would now make sense for Max to go after the last remaining town alliance. Note - he threw out a casual suspicion of Josh/me on D-1 and didn't follow through. Why not, especially since Josh's behavior on D-1 was erratic and odd? As a seasoned player, I think that Josh was setting the ground to draw suspicion to his pairing in hopes someone would find him suspicious enough to lynch and thus lynch the one member he believed to be scum - Kunt. - I don't get any inklings from Az or Slizzard. Good or bad - that is what it is.
Based on my analysis here, I think that Max and Kunt are scum. I'm not wholly convinced enough to 'commit suicide' in the game (yet), so I will Vote: Max for right now.

Well, I have caught up on my reading and lots seemed to happen in D-1. I don't know what I have stepped into exactly, and since Josh didn't leave clues for me, I will right now Vote: Devin. Hopefully the other half of my heart will show up and discuss things with me privately!

Z100 just added it this week... can you say WTF? They must really hate country music. Even though this song is about as country as a crowded subway station. ... in Dallas.

I still have to hear the song a couple of more times to judge my feelings on it, but I am a tad bothered that it takes this song (with the featured artists) to make Robin Thicke finally breakthrough on pop. His prior music was absolutely fabulous - Lost Without You is a great tune.

I'm interested why is this still gaining? Still has room to grow? Not that I'm not happy, but it's so huge already, slowed down and now it goes like nothing ever happened. (No Duca I don't want to provocate you. Boooh.) It gained briefly because of the Memorial Day weekend, during which most songs slip in spins. Today's update reflects that it is, indeed, losing spins (again).

Wow @ this getting significant Alternative airplay. This song will be consistently played on Pop, Rhythmic, Urban, Urban AC, Alternative, Hot AC, and AC. This will be a true multi-format smash. First, what do you mean 'consistently played'? Like in recurrent status? Second - some of the formats chosen here are very ambitious. - Urban AC? Very doubtful. That format is (a) slow to add 'hot' songs and (b) is far and away more conservative than other non-Christian formats. This song has little appeal to an Urban AC audience anyways. - I also doubt 'consistent' airplay on Hot AC or AC for this track. Thrift Shop, arguably the catchiest tune of the three, couldn't make a dent that far on the chart. Can't Hold Us isn't doing much better. While this tune may be slower for the format, it is also less catchy. I have doubts it will go far on the format. Ditto with AC for similar and slightly different reasons. - Urban also will not jump on this - it doesn't fit the format. - I was surprised at the high RHY spins, but when you dig deeper, out of the ~1200 spins it has today, 18.5% of those spins are from two stations (Denver and Seattle), both of which are close to 100 spins each. That is unsustainable and so for the song to go farther it will either have to maximize spins from the biggest RHY stations or have more mass appeal. - I am not surprised much by the Alternative airplay to be honest. The question mark is still Pop, but I again believe this will end up being a lesser hit than their previous two and likely a far lesser hit in terms of a peak for the reasons I stated earlier the thread and reiterated several times by others.

This sounds like a song that Michael Jackson recorded and was left off the album. That too. It is blatantly obvious that Bruno Mars has that MJ style voice, whether purposefully or of.

Classic Mariah is a pop song plus an urban mix a few weeks after initial release so it makes sense fans expect an urban mix There's a big difference between her putting out a straight urban rap filled single vs a pop single followed by an urban remix She finally did the pop song everyone has beeb bitching about for years . No need for a remix. Keep it pop Mariah! The problem (for me) is that the song sounds like it was ripped off of a cassette tape from 1995 - literally. The audio quality is poor.

When this and Treasure play on my local pop stations, I think I am listening to a 70s music station.

Too much electronic music being pushed to pop right now IMO. This is a great tune, but I fear overload of this type of music is going to cause serious backlash in the next year or 2.
ETA: I heard this on Evolution here in Boston and also on 'Evolution on KISS 108' on Saturday night. It sounds great on the radio.

Well, finally! I expected to die a few hours into Day 2. Oh well... Unfortunately, life issues got in the way for Day 1 and the ultimate plan ended up not working out (I was going to invite countryrocks). I knew it was over for me after that because, even if I could have gotten a mislynch on Day 2, there was no way of surviving past that.
Onto the next game!

Okay, just read through Jason's posts. I realized that the only person he really found suspicious was you, Codex. He defended countryrocks and kind of Az, and he was thrown off by me completely. However, he kept his vote on Countryrocks the whole entire time, which I find to be really strange. My original vote for countryrocks was RVS. That is true. Thereafter, I found countryrocks jumping on Codex suspicious and bandwagoning. I said, at the time, that he and Az were likely not both scum and then felt less sure about Az. Hence, I kept my vote on countryrocks. Plus, I think at the time Codex was at L-1, and voting for him would have been a huge risk (as Codex has mentioned, I have been really thinking hard about moves in this game and playing it differently than other games). I guess I don't see what is 'scummy' about keeping my vote on someone that I thought was scum in my analysis (and turned out to be).

I considered both of you were scum. I then deduced that it was less likely that you were scum and hence kept my vote on countryrocks.

Nightfire said he believed both myself and Countryrocks to be scum; if he were Countryrocks' partner, then he would have voted me instead and tried to drum up some logic about how I was the more suspicious of the two. Nightfire not wavering from Countryrocks is what makes me feel he's our third Town. You could replace Nightfire with Jason above and the story would still be basically true. That's my point.

Defending countryrocks? I see no defense of him in what I said. You said that what he did could be considered scummy in a normal game, but since this is a small game, doing what he did wouldn't be a smart mafia tactic, therefore it's not scummy. That seems defensive to me. No, I said it wouldn't be smart. Not a smart move does not equate to the person not being scum or that the action wouldn't be taken by a scum member. Major flaw.
