So like, town, she's right there claiming a PR this late in the game and only softing it. Do the right thing

 

[Xbro]

Really it's all up to ketkat.

 

[faircure]

Yeah, fakeclaiming a PR is probably good and sets up for a nin lynch, but sitting on it as just a soft right now looks really bad. Effectiveness shouldn't really matter with only one or two nights left. I believe in townnnn o/

 

[Xbro]

To this point Sophia hasn't slipped up because she hasn't really said anything. This could be the slip

 

[cabot]

zipped always reads as scum to me, always.

He's been good in this game, though for sure this mentality of 'lets mislynch today and come back tomorrow' would drive me up the wall.

 

[cabot]

I'm not impressed with that soft claim by sophia. That really needs pushed.

 

[Stuart444]

People are being way to soft on Sophia right now.

 

[cabot]

shes already talked down her power, and town have an opportunity to make a mislynch.


There's no reason for people to accept her claim being secret.

 

[Include]

Sophia gonna get today, there is absolutely no doubt.

 

[Xbro]

Have people even given a reason they want kalor gone for the past few days?

 

[Stuart444]

Sophia gonna get today, there is absolutely no doubt.

The recent posts indicate otherwise but things have changed near the very end of the day so we'll see.

 

[Stuart444]

Nope.

I'm a little surprised at how soon votes are being put down with such a small majority - obviously with only one scum player remaining, their individual voting power is relatively low, but with a pair of votes cast with a majority of just four, it'd only take a couple of votes in quick succession to cause a mislynch. True, this might not be my/lylo yet, but I'd still have thought it'd be risky to rush into voting with so few players left.

Go Fandorin goooooo

That’s a game-winning post right there

 

[Stuart444]

That’s a game-winning post right there

This is true, that is a great post by Fandorin and might be enough for Town to win the game.

If Sophia wasn't Scum, Nin would probably get lynched tomorrow just for his posts today where it's all "Follow whoever makes the best case".

But Fandorins post might be enough to win for Town.

 

[cabot]

i agree that was a good fandorin post.


I also agree that nin just lazily sheeping it is annoying, despite it being a potential town winner.

 

[DCPAT]

You can say what you want, but I think the two masons are playing this game pretty well.

 

[Stuart444]

Welp. Scum are done.

 

[Brazil]

There it is.

Fandorin does it again.

They've played their role perfectly. Both masons surviving all the way to D7 is brilliant.

And that's all she wrote

 

[Stuart444]

I didn't know you could vote for yourself.

 

[Alexem]

OHHH FAN-DO-RIN COR-BYN!

 

[Faddy]

Oh yeah I never asked. @Fandorin and @Brazil I'm still not 100% sure what the big yellow duck thing is about. I'm not really up on Brazilian politics aside from there is a lot of corruption.

Hahahahaha. I loved that call-out, but forgot to mention it. It was really surprising, hahaha.

It's complicated, but essentially it's the icon of a right wing movement against corruption, that strikes harshly against left-leaning politicians but is completely toothless against right-wing politicians.

"Pay the duck" is a weird expression (one I don't know the origins of) that means "Foot the bill for/deal with the consequences of the actions of a third party." In the context of the giant rubber duck, it was a way of criticizing the way the general Brazilian populace was footing the bill for widespread corruption by paying enormous and ever-increasing amounts of taxes.

But the giant rubber ducks themselves (there were many of them in protests across the country) were paid for by a completely partisan right-wing institution that wasn't really interested in fighting widespread corruption, instead focusing only on the corruption among left-leaning politicians as a way to kick them out of the way of right wing policy. Therefore, it fit perfectly with the capitalist flavor :P

 

[Faddy]

That is pretty much what I worked out from reading several articles. And there was a whole thing about the Duck originally being designed by an artist and touring cities and then the factory made a copy for their stunt.

Didn't even remember half of this. What a mess.

 

[Fandorin]

Really entertaining spec thread! Nice to see so many dead players keeping up with the game like this haha.

Anyway, glad to take the win and maintain my perfect 3 W/0 L record.
