With ten people alive, hammer is at 6.

[orangeandblack5]

I will not accept any discourse. We just hammer this immediately and end the day before he has a chance to fakeclaim a PR and it can potentially spew our third one. Regardless of whether a heal was successful or not it’s objectively the best play to not give scum any more info in trying to find the third PR.

VOTE: EricH

Here’s his own posts that prove it:

@EricH

VOTE: @JKBear331

Grounds of speaking positively about marketing. (Engineer here. Marketing is notorious for not bothering to ask Engineering if something is possible to do in the timeframe promised.)

@EricH

VOTE: UNVOTE. I’ll have to think about who to vote next.

This is 99.9% a partner interaction going for some easy “distancing” early on and then backing off with no committal to a vote somewhere else.

@gellnick

Honestly at this point I’m tempted to get rid of Kline - he’s never been like this before, could be life or a crappy internet connection, but it’s wierd.
@EricKline hello are you alive?

@EricH

OTOH, StarV’s on that wagon.

I’ll think about it–there’s three options available now, or adding another one. If I had to add another one I’d go for a low-activity person and wake them up a bit. ( coughcoughWAXTONcoughcoughJJKBEARcoughcough )

@waxton

hey ive woken up, go for jkkbear

@EricH

Curious why you didn’t vote yesterday?

@JKBear331 if you don’t come out of hibernation I’m going to vote you on general principles.

Again more shallow distancing - he never actually reads or reacts to what JKBear posted, he just prods him and threatens him in the thread. He’s not trying to solve JKBear’s slot - he already knows JKBear is scum. He’s just prodding it to look better when that slot sinks under its own inactivity.

---

Now for the reasons he was the one good pick in my solve yesterday before CRich claimed:

@laserlab

what would happen if we voted for a fake player?

@EricH

Depends on if that fake player was the top vote-getter. Also, if that fake player was “NoKill”, then there’d be no day kill. But anybody suggesting voting for NoKill will be voted for, on general principles.

@laserlab

I would have figured it would work like a tie where the mafia pick who gets killed

@EricH

If the vote is “NoKill”, then there’s no daykill. (Again, I will vote for anybody remotely suggesting it, immediately. It doesn’t help us at this point.)

If the fake player doesn’t get the most votes, then it’s a moot point.

The issue you’re thinking of is if a fake player got the most votes. It might depend on the game a bit, but the available options are to take the second-most or to have the mafia pick. Not sure what the rule is for this site/game.

Bolded is scum trying to seem “helpful” and “progressive” while actually just talking about something that nobody is doing instead of actually commenting on the game.

@EricH

We can fix that.

Before I vote: I’m a bit suspicious of the wagon on cheese. It started on what I see as minimal evidence, it’s grown slowly and steadily… and the leading counterwagon targets the initiator of the cheese wagon.

That said, I think we’re likely to get more useful information from a cheese flip than from any other, with the exception of a StarV flip. But… if a StarV wagon suddenly starts going and totally smashes the cheese wagon, then we’ll just have to take out cheese D2 if we don’t do it tonight.

VOTE: cloned

Baaa. Baaa.

@EricH

See y’all at SOD, if the Mafia don’t off me tonight.

This is nonsense from a town PoV in this game - if cheese flips scum the kill is starv, nanook, or myself, and if cheese flips town it’s incredibly unlikely one of the slots saying “yeah I don’t really think it’s cheese but I’ll vote there to sheep” is the one that eats a bullet - prime miselim territory.

also his constant flip-flopping on StarV as thread sentiment changes is opportunistic rather than solvy

tl;dr EricH is scum, quickhammer him and end the day to not out the third PR, we can find the last one tomorrow

If this day lasts longer than half an hour we’ve failed.

just get it over with and go spend the day with your mothers tbh
