Looney Lumpylove Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Most tangible lead so far; let's hear the name! Yes, name him so that we can can look at what he's said earlier today and make an informed decision. Is there any reason to keep his name quiet?
Durmudgelous Krup Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Well that's me, the weird old lonely doggy. I have to admit I took the relationship too far with Twatty. That is as far as the first 24 hour goes. I am the easy target for the Odor Eaters because I am old and queer. If you are the OotP please take note of those who will be/interested in voting for me. That would set you up to find those Odor Eaters in the future.
Helena Hippopaw Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Hello! I just came back from a lovely dream In it, we had a great lynch and everybody worked together happily! So, the chatty ones or the quiet ones may be odor eaters. I said the chatty ones were less likely to be Oder Eaters You were always a particularly strange dog though. A merry 'noon thou mammering idle headed clotpoles. Tis away. To be it is that isn't when it was until yet again. Yet, I cannot fathom Helena Hippopaw pretending to give us gain with such ungainly discourse. To mine soul, mine mind, mine heart, hers is surely useless in it's aid. She subtly plants in the minds of those weaker to ignore those who've been most vocal, as "they are usually not Odor Eaters". I do wonder who she doth come to such conclusions at such early hour. It doth seem to me that the substance of discussion should be first upon our minds, and not the quantity or lack thereof. Well, if you want I can check the record books, and see if Oder Eaters appear more in the vocal people or the quiet people on day one. I watched a bunch of them before, and the quiet ones were a better choice. Check it out, and see if you still agree. We don't have much to vote on on day one, unless there are werewolfs hidden in among us. Hello, werewolfs? Are you out there? For some reason, this strikes me as the scummiest thing I've heard all day. It could be a ploy to seem helpful. Or it could have been an OotP member trying to spur his fellow teammates to more constructive discussion. There's no real way to tell at this point. Not that I'm trying to talk you out of your vote. I'm glad someone is trying to use some logic and get the ball rolling. This morning was a time to post a lot of fluff. Lord knows I said my share. Now that the voting's begun, I expect a lot less fluff and a lot more finger pointing. So I'll start pointing fingers. Vote: Helena Hippopaw Her most recent post is something I'd expect in the morning, not in the middle of the day. Perhaps she doesn't know what to do because she doesn't want to incriminate her scummy friends, and doesn't want the onus of being the first to vote for an OotP member (he he, member )? That makes no sense to me. Why say it in the morning, basically instructing Odor Eaters to post more? Why not say it after we've seen some animals posts, and seen who just watch? Then we have more people to look at. Or I do at least, since you think that's scummy OK, I am going to cast my vote later, but I have a lead on somebody. More of a "meh" lead, but it is only day One. This person sent me some really weird messages, and has been acting odd.He's been extremely odd in-thread too. He had tried talking to me incredibly early in the game. I will I'm sure he knows who he is now, but if he wants to make himself publicized, he can. He asked me if I wanted to discuss how to help Harriet. I told him he caught my eye in looking so suspicious by contacting me so he very quickly tried to leave in an "OK, bye! *dashes off*" manner. Then he said that he thought too many people would be metagaming so the scum are going to be less verbal. And he is saying some incredibly odd sounding things in thread, not even trying to help out, it seems. If enough people want to hear his name, or if he comes out, then there you go. Just ask. i don't know. I think someone already potato messaging would have to be a very ballsy animal, especially if an Oder Eater. I can't even remember everyone's name, so I haven't considered potato messaging at all.
Ariattny Sugarbottom Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 It was hardly the beginning of the day. There was plenty of fluff goin' on before I spoke my piece. I'm not trying to seem active and helpful, I am active and helpful. Someone's gotta train them goblins and no one else wants to do it. I gave my opinion on the lurkers, and on the useless fluff that was being spread around. And really thats your only reason to vote for me. Because I'm not spouting fluff. I'd counter your other three points but they don't really exist, now, do they? What exactly have you been doing, Miss Counting Cow? I could say your nonsense vote seems as likely to be you trying to seem helpful as my candor was. I don't find you overly suspicious myself, though. It was the beginning of the day. At this point approximately half the day has past, and a third of a day has passed since you said what you did. That means when you said it, only one sixth of the day had past. I call that the beginning. Now call my math bad, haters. No one actually stood out to me as overly helpful, or overly scummy for that matter, you were simply the most suspicious to me. To call yourself helpful and active seems a bit odd, how have you helped, exactly? How would you know there are lurkers, I for one can not see it when our fellow wizards are paying attention. I think my vote is fine where it is at, your response has strenghtened my belief in my four points a bit. I am not at all convinced, but I don't really see anyone more suspicious than you at this point, although I am also interested in this mysterious person that Twatty is on about.
Flabflom Flimflam Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 So I'll start pointing fingers. Vote: Helena Hippopaw Her most recent post is something I'd expect in the morning, not in the middle of the day. Perhaps she doesn't know what to do because she doesn't want to incriminate her scummy friends, and doesn't want the onus of being the first to vote for an OotP member (he he, member )? Funny! But I doubt that Odor Eaters have any problem with starting a vote on a Penis today. It is very likely that the collective reaction tomorrow will be *shrug* "well, we had to choose someone", "there was no evidence" and "he did sound scummy". Aren't you just trying to preemptively justify your starting a vote on someone you know is a OotP member? OK, I am going to cast my vote later, but I have a lead on somebody. More of a "meh" lead, but it is only day One. This person sent me some really weird messages, and has been acting odd.He's been extremely odd in-thread too. He had tried talking to me incredibly early in the game. I will I'm sure he knows who he is now, but if he wants to make himself publicized, he can.

And he is saying some incredibly odd sounding things in thread, not even trying to help out, it seems. If enough people want to hear his name, or if he comes out, then there you go. Just ask. This sounds likea lead. You could tell us their name, but preferably I would liketo hear an explanation of this peculiar behaviour. Helena has a point though; looking back on past 'dreams' you may notice that first lynches of talkative people have hardly, if ever, led to an Odor Eater's lynch! With the amounf of nonsensical talk that has happened here, it would be very easy for an Odor Eater to hide in the 'talkative' group; bear this in mind! I'm sorry, I don't get your point... are you saying that the Odor Eaters might be hiding in the talkative group because Penises will probably avoid lynching one of those? And thsi is based on the historical precedent that rarely lynching a talkative person had nailed a scum? Well that's me, the weird old lonely doggy. I have to admit I took the relationship too far with Twatty. That is as far as the first 24 hour goes. I am the easy target for the Odor Eaters because I am old and queer. If you are the OotP please take note of those who will be/interested in voting for me. That would set you up to find those Odor Eaters in the future. Oh you spoke while I was thinking... You do seem queer, but why does that make you an easier target for the Penis Odor Eaters? If anything, it's your overeager communication sytle that could put you in trouble, is that what you mean?
Wong Wang Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Either way, be it somebody being talkative or being quiet can lead us down the wong path. We have to be careful. I though, want to hear what this name is before I cast a vote.
Ariattny Sugarbottom Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Either way, be it somebody being talkative or being quiet can lead us down the wong path. The fourth possibility is that the Odor Eaters are hiding among the average-active people!
Flabflom Flimflam Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) The fourth possibility is that the Odor Eaters are hiding among the average-active people! This is going nowhere! I'm sure there are all sorts of Odor Eaters and we can't really draw a conclusion from their activity. The only argument that can be made about activity is that a under-the-radar Penis member mislynch is slightly less damaging than that of an active Penis. But a mislynch is not what we're aiming for, so I'd rather focus on lynching someone for their suspicious behavior and not their activity level. This is all very annoying, sales are going down while nobody is looking after my shop. Edited April 23, 2013 by Flabflom Flimflam

Learn the right spells and this wand will be your greatest weapon. I am no spell master so... Remember the old saying, the wand chooses its owner. You are very lucky! If we want to catch those evil odor eaters, you have to cooperate with us. Learn your math so you can count them or tell us what is the third thing you are selling in your store. Plwease? Are you smuggling dragons? Trading dragons are prohibited around here. So ya'll know. Hi Twatty, we meet again. I read from ancient scrolls that your wand might be the cause of all your illnessesilitis. If I could take a look at your wand, maybe I can figure things out for you? Need help there with your wand? Wong? Did someone see a dragon? With a muggle? I swear I just did. WAH!!!! Everybody RUN! We have to be prepared for any impending dragon attack. I heard odor eaters can morph into dragons and blow us away.. Don't remind me. Ugh. Dragons. Ugh. This hardly odder than anything else that was said, surely not weirder than girl-who-can't count or than all of the butt-scar obsession ... Plus the fact that he willingly came out makes me very reluctant to vote for Krup! I'm sorry, I don't get your point... are you saying that the Odor Eaters might be hiding in the talkative group because Penises will probably avoid lynching one of those? And thsi is based on the historical precedent that rarely lynching a talkative person had nailed a scum? Sorry if it was unclear; lynching a talkative person has hardly ever (if ever) led to an Odour Eater's lynch ... wait this is what I said earlier ... how is it unclear?
Flabflom Flimflam Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 vote tally Flabflom Flimflam: 6 votes (penalty, penalty, penalty, penalty, penalty, penalty) Plus the fact that he willingly came out makes me very reluctant to vote for Krup! I don't think that he really had a choice! Trying to hide anything would have been weird. Sorry if it was unclear; lynching a talkative person has hardly ever (if ever) led to an Odour Eater's lynch ... wait this is what I said earlier ... how is it unclear? I wasn't sure that your conclusion was that since talkative persons are rarely Odor Eaters, they are likely hiding among the talkative persons now. I'm not convinced that the former is true, and even if it were the latter can't be taken for granted. But as I said before, I believe that discussing activity levels is rather counterproductive.
Looney Lumpylove Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 That makes no sense to me. Why say it in the morning, basically instructing Odor Eaters to post more? Why not say it after we've seen some animals posts, and seen who just watch? Then we have more people to look at. Or I do at least, since you think that's scummy Maybe I should clarify. I have no problem with the quiet vs talkative portion of your post. It was more the "Oh, woe is me, I don't know what to do, so instead I'll take a nap and not think about it." that struck me as scummy. Aren't you just trying to preemptively justify your starting a vote on someone you know is a OotP member? Nope. If Helena were to be lynched and was OotP, I'd say *shrug* "well, we had to choose someone", "there was no evidence" and "she did sound scummy". We've got nothing to go on for this lynch except what is said here. So if I see something that sounds slightly scummy, I feel it is my civic duty to point it out, and see what others think about it. And I did that, through my vote. I'll change it if Helena convinces me it is misplaced, or if a better candidate comes along. Am I convinced Helena is scum? Hellz no! Right now I'd call it 51% likely she's scum. And when your right 51% of the time, your wrong 49%. (That was a Simpsons quote, for those that didn't recognize it. You know the Benevolent Alien Overlords created The Simpsons, don't you?) This sounds likea lead. You could tell us their name, but preferably I would like to hear an explanation of this peculiar behaviour. I've also spoken to Durm... um Drum... um, D the Bulldog via Potato Message, and while he was little odd, I didn't hear anything that struck me as even slightly scummy. Perhaps Twatty can elaborate a little bit more on what was said behind closed doors? Within reason of course.
Boris Biddlesdorf Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 It was the beginning of the day. At this point approximately half the day has past, and a third of a day has passed since you said what you did. That means when you said it, only one sixth of the day had past. I call that the beginning. Now call my math bad, haters. No one actually stood out to me as overly helpful, or overly scummy for that matter, you were simply the most suspicious to me. To call yourself helpful and active seems a bit odd, how have you helped, exactly? How would you know there are lurkers, I for one can not see it when our fellow wizards are paying attention. I don't care what fraction of the day had passed, we obviiously have diffrent definitions of the word "beginning". You want to start a misguided lynch on that, go ahead. I consider myself active because I'm talking and helpful because I was turning the conversation away from weiners and gender confusion and back towards the crisis at hand. Perhaps you don't see it that way, but I do. We can have a difference of opinion without either of us being scum. I do find it odd how focused you are on me. Just go ahead and ignore any other converasation going on. I don't know what to say to convince you of my innocnence. If you can't see it, it's your loss. I'm confused at how PMing is ballsy or scummy at this point. Is there some new rule that says PMs are forbidden until day 2? How is someone talking in private a solid lead? Krup's words confuse me as well. Why admit to doing something wrong when it wasn't wrong? How did you "take it too far"? Maybe you can explain this misplaced guilt. I'm as innocent as I can be, This whole PMing lead seems like hooey.
Bartholomew Bearbutt Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Wong, your last couple posts have been a bit off. it sounds like your repeating what somebody else has said. Either way, be it somebody being talkative or being quiet can lead us down the wong path. We have to be careful. I though, want to hear what this name is before I cast a vote. You heard what the name was, Durmugelous said it was him, and don't we all know to be careful?! So you sound on the fence about lynching anyone whether theyre talkative or quiet, is that because you're worried about being seen to lynch a penis? A mislynch is the worst thing we could do. I do agree an under-the-radar- mislynch can be better to that of an active, but only to an extent. Our numbers would be cut down by one, something all of you know, even those who can't perform mathematical operations very well. and here you basically repeat what Flimfam said which isn't helpful of you at all. Your only telling us that we'd loose a penis with a mislynch, but isn't that what a mislynch is so whyd you feel you had to say what he said again?? waaatching in slooow moootion as you turn to meeeeee and saaaaaaaaay .......... taaaaaaaake my breath aaaaaawaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaay!
Looney Lumpylove Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 i don't know. I think someone already potato messaging would have to be a very ballsy animal, especially if an Oder Eater. I can't even remember everyone's name, so I haven't considered potato messaging at all. I'm curious why you think using the Potato Message system is 'ballsy'? You can bet the Evil Alien Odor Eaters are using it, or something similar. Wouldn't it be wise for the OotP to use it to their advantage, too? I'm not saying anyone should be roleclaiming yet. That's completely barmy. But simple conversations are a good thing. And if town happens to talk to scum, it's just another chance for the scum to slip up. Just be careful what information you give out behind closed doors.
Wong Wang Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I have to say add in that I'm concerned on the PM thing as well. I know that talking in private could yield some clues, but a good Odor Eater probably knows that and would hide everything anyway. We can't not lynch somebody either, or else the Odor Eaters will have an advantage tonight and we don't want that. It's been mathematically proven before. There's magic in the air, and it's not good magic. Wong, your last couple posts have been a bit off. it sounds like your repeating what somebody else has said. You heard what the name was, Durmugelous said it was him, and don't we all know to be careful?! So you sound on the fence about lynching anyone whether theyre talkative or quiet, is that because you're worried about being seen to lynch a penis? and here you basically repeat what Flimfam said which isn't helpful of you at all.

I am worried to lynch a penis, even though I know it is inevitable most likely the first day. As for repeating, sometimes it helps me to know what is going on if it is repeated, the more times it is said or heard, we're adding one for it is being heard, we have a better memory of what people have said, and it specifically helps me. I'm sorry if it is not helpful to you or others. So yes, I am scared we will mislynch but I am also scared if we don't lynch. I'm still trying to figure this all out in my head. Theoretical idealogies are not my strong point. Math and formulas suit me, so excuse me if I am wong and out of my element when trying to form theories. As I said before, it helps me if I repeat something, or it is said multiple times, adding things on.
Durmudgelous Krup Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Krup's words confuse me as well. Why admit to doing something wrong when it wasn't wrong? How did you "take it too far"? Maybe you can explain this misplaced guilt. :weep: I was having a chit chat with Twatty before Harriet appeared. Everyone knows that. I thought she liked me so I sent her a potato message if we could hit it up sometime. Didn't know she wasn't interested in me at all. I must be a really lonely old dog
Helena Hippopaw Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I'm curious why you think using the Potato Message system is 'ballsy'? You can bet the Evil Alien Odor Eaters are using it, or something similar. Wouldn't it be wise for the OotP to use it to their advantage, too? The key word was "already." I don't have anything I'm ready to say to people in private yet, and don't know how others could. even casually, it seems strange to me. Just too soon. That said, when I say ballsy, I mean it for the Orer Eaters. I think they would be avoiding contact at first. You really are a cranky anteater, aren't you At the moment, I don't see anyone acting scummy. Lot's of accusations, but none of them have much support. For now, I'll vote: Lulu Pittoolo, for adding the least to us here. If she shows up and talks, I'll reconsider. It is best that we lynch though, and things are spread out already. I could vote for dillpickle. He might talk like Shakespeare, but that isn't helpful. The only reason I don't, is because he was willing to throw an accusation, and that seemed not scumming, even if it was misguided.
Barkonius Twitch Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Well that's me, the weird old lonely doggy. I have to admit I took the relationship too far with Twatty. That is as far as the first 24 hour goes. I am the easy target for the Odor Eaters because I am old and queer. If you are the OotP please take note of those who will be/interested in voting for me. That would set you up to find those Odor Eaters in the future. This post seems a very... strange way to defend yourself. First you out yourself, then resign yourself to your fate... and then make it seem like only Odor Eaters would lead a lynch on you. A strange cagey reaction for someone who was open enough to send flying potato messages. Though not necessarily a Odor Eater response... just a strange one. And don't think I'll sleep with you just because you're old and lonely. I know that trick. No more pity romps in the hay for this dog. Oh my, that reminds me, I must go water my hay. I don't know. I think someone already potato messaging would have to be a very ballsy animal, especially if an Oder Eater. I can't even remember everyone's name, so I haven't considered potato messaging at all. The names. If only our dear mothers and fathers had chosen less confusing and pun based aliases for us, how much better off we'd be. I can't remember any of these outrageous(ly clever?) nicknames we all have. It makes analysis very difficult, especially with this many of us, and early on. For now, I can hop on the Vote: Lulu Pittoolo train. She has said next to nothing. Speak up, Lulu. I always would prefer losing a quiet member of the town as opposed to an active one. Loud Odor Eaters are also easier to catch than their silent counterparts.
