It's true! As heroes, we're trained to be able to spot others just like us! Don't forget who spotted and trained Alchemy Man! The Tick is, as he says, a TRUE HERO. (Though Arthur is not...) [AKA: Yes, we are both masons, and he has been confirmed town to me. If he hadn't been, well, I also remember Villain mafia]
Here are some breadcrumbs for those that need a trail to follow...
A TRUE HERO Flay? I'm a TRUE HERO! Like you! YAAAY!
Come Arthur, let's be TRUE HEROES!
And for more confirmation, it was indeed picked up on that I have been placing rather heavy confidence in The Tick.
------------------------------------
Now for the real stuff!
...WHAT!? You... you... you... KIRK, HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY ARGUMENT!?
[Kirk pretty much hit the head on the nail as to where I was going. Middleman train was something natural, and he was definitely headed toward the lynch. Then, the train on me formed. If it was formed out of malice, then it was created to save Middleman. However, it ended with it blowing up spectacularly in scum's face.] *Ahem* Where was I? Ah, yes. I have recently come to the understanding that perhaps my methods were... questionable.
[Voting Middleman is, in fact, not the right way to find out if he was scum or not.]...
HaHA! I've got it!
[Wow. I'm a right bloody idiot for missing this earlier.] I do believe that I had been targeted by the mafia on Day 1! Planet, Batmanuel, and the accursed penguin! All posting back-to-back! It was planned, organized. Why, not even Roxis could have done a better job! However not even he was able to escape my wits! Hahahahahahahaha!!
[I believe Planet, Batmanuel, and Middleman are the last remaining scum. I know I may be taking a leap, but bear with me here.]Alright, OOC now, for the sake of clarity (and time/sanity).
If we look at the voting record, the only people to vote for me, all of Day 1, were Hilda, Batmanuel, Planet, and Prinny. Hilda voted me well before anyone else, and
made a perfectly reasonable argument against me. A little ditzy, sure, but as far as I can tell, that's just how Hilda's been all game. People comment on my (horribad) posting for a while (most people going, "uhh..." and looking at me sideways, but seeing Middleman as worse), and the Middleman train builds up. Right after I put him at 6, the train on me begins building up. (Yes, I'm aware Hiro was about to vote me if I hadn't had more votes than Hazel, but I'm getting there) Batmanuel has a
headscratching post, convicting me, Hiro posts, then Planet comes in (I don't really need to link these, do I? They're back-to-back. Literally) with a terrible case presented. He doesn't even use any of the logic Hiro or Hilda had used. Then Prinny comes in, and we've already gone over his stuff.
Where I'm getting at this being planned is, not only that those three were a little over an hour after the previous one had posted, which could easily be coincidence, but because of Batmanuel's and Planet's cases on me. Actually, no. Their posts, period.
Batmanuel apologizes for his lack of action over the weekend. He was, shall we say, busier than anticipated.
Still, not a lot has really happened. 1:No particular arguments against lynching either major train, but neither are they particularly scummy, Kirk's acquitted himself pretty well of my weak starter case on him... typical day 1. Conflicted feelings on Middleman, 2:slightly scummy feelings on Flay and Gordon pressuring his case, nothing conclusive though. Best feeling I've got is Flay's trainhop so I'll go with that.
##Unvote: Kirk
##Vote: Flay
Bolding and numbering are mine.
1. There was no second train at the time. It was purely Middleman. I made sure that Kirk couldn't even be considered a train, and Bats couldn't have missed that, because of the warning system of the forums. (bless them so)
2. I noticed that he just talks about the two of us (and is
still talking about Gordon) there, despite everyone on the train having at least some pressure on the case.
That makes his post there kinda... fall apart, as far as I'm concerned. Next up is Planet's (condensed as his is longer).
That out of the way, while the Middleman needs to come in here soon with some amount of clean decisiveness, he really doesn't need any more pressure then he is already under. 1:I certainly don't think he needs anymore pressure then he already has at this point.
Flay's posts however, strike me too much as going with the flow(of nature), his post carry little substance, and he just strikes me as a little too eager to jump on to the next train that forms. And while I don't entirely agree with the poor excuse for a captains methods in stirring things up. 2:I find Flay's argument that forced arguments are entirely hurtful to be a bit strange, at least in the context of day 1, where we pretty much half to force arguments just to get out of the jokephase. If anything, any argument that can be brought up will help us to hopefully better understand what people are thinking and why they are thinking the way they do.
##Vote: Flay Gunnar
The power is yours to convince me otherwise!
1. Yes, fair enough.
2. Uhh, what? So any argument on Day 1 is good, solely because it's an argument?
Also just want to make a quick side-note that both of them were on the Kirk train after it had become a train. (you can ignore this if you want. Mostly meant as a self-note)
