As if I can trust chat transcripts.
Whether they're trustworthy or not, I like having them in the thread. This one gave us a lot of information about Guild: he's trying to put the innocent tactics he's been using on other forums to use here. Mainly because that's how he thinks we should play, but also it broadcasts that he wants to appear as an innocent. That's a message he wants to send whether he's a human, a canine, or a vegetable, but the fact that he's not throwing a lot of votes around at his teammates (like I tried to do in VvW5) and he's putting pressure on Niku (to appear in league with me?) makes me wonder whether his message is a little too earnest.
So yes, I like chat transcripts, because they increase the amount of information in the game, both about the person who posted the transcript and the responses of others to that transcript. In fact, I like them so much, I'm going to post another one now:
13:29 Lee-Ham so Newbie and Guild are forming a voting bloc
13:29 Lee-Ham super
13:33 Guild i'm not on newbie's side ... he appears to be on mine atm
13:33 Newbie On the contrary, Guild.
13:33 Newbie I was just debating whether to keep a running "most suspicious individuals to me" list.
13:34 Newbie If I were to do so, you'd be on it.
13:34 Guild explain
13:34 LapCait They're acting a little too anti-chummy right now. A little too... staged.
13:34 Guild ooh paranoia is running rampant... i love this game
13:35 Newbie Actually, let me just post it in the thread.
Let's imagine a hypothetical scenario wherein Kazz locks the thread and PMs you to tell you that you've developed the "Sudden Seer" power: you can make
one immediate scry, and then the power goes away and the game resumes. Who would you scry?
At the moment, I'm torn between Guild (for the reasons mentioned above), Romosome (I've already stated why I find his behavior suspicious), and Niku (who's voting for me, and is therefore probably evil). I'd most likely choose Romosome, right now. If I could wait until after the lynch to scry, I'd probably look at whoever posted the least. SCD? Transportation? I dunno.
I'm keeping my vote on
Romosome, but I'm happy to change if a more convincing case for someone else emerges.
Having now posted twice consecutively, you may now commence the "Vote Newbie 'cause he's craaaaazy" posts.
