Isn't a vote (outside of certian special circumstances) a demand that someone either be lynched or claim?
I'd disagree. More often, it's an expression of suspicion at most. Either way, I put the offer out there for someone to actively ask for me to claim. No one did. So it goes.
@Jonty: I voted for neb, post-Kanin-in-a-bubble.
Also note that neb is now jumping on the feeble gregwolf case. Seems like throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

Yes, we at least need a claim today...Gregwolf likes to lay low, so as not to incriminate himself with anything he might say. I'd like to see what he's hiding. I may be wrong, but hell, at least I'm posting...

Alright, we are in a tough spot right now. All these modkills are screwing us over, having killed as many townies as the scum have. (And more powerful ones too!) Depending on how mnay scum we started with we might reasonably be at MYLO now.
Gregwolf, I would like it if you were to claim. At least unless you have a strong reason why claiming right now would be harmful.
We need some info, did anybody get an action from Kanin and get some helpful info from it last night?
I still would kind of like it if pancakemix where the one lynched today, (Or at least he shows us his supposedly provable claim.) but right now that doesn't seem feasible.
I will now
Vote Chuck He hasn't been very active so there isn't a lot of stuff you can use as evidence against him, but here is what I have.

You have to consider the context. When kanin was calling for no more claims we had a single claim (bodyguard), later in the day when i posted what you have quoted we had a second claim (doctor). Its not quite the same.
As far as why I was responding to a post directed at Kanin. WHen I initially read it I thought it was directed at me since it was the post immediately after mine.

Unvote
I am confirm this claim. (It is the thing I mentioned earlier when asking if pancakemix was what I thought he might be.)
The gift is the busdriver action.
Now I have to find another target for today. Vote pancakemix in the meantime.

Gifter roles are claims that can actually be confirmed. (In that another player receives actual proof of the role's existence when they get the gift.) As such, the only way a scum could fake a claim like that in this game would be to say he gifted to his scum mates and have them back up his story.

I confirm that I received a busdrive gift night one. I bussed myself with Edoc.
So, knowing that there was no nightkill N1 (the assumption being that Soundman hid behind mafia), I tend to believe that Rishaed is town, as Hank protected him, thus preventing the kill. Even if mafia targeted Edoc, Rishaed would have body guarded him, then got saved by Hank...either way, resulting in Rishaed being town. I guess someone could have protected another player from a nightkill, too...but that would be highly unlikely, so I'll rule that out.
thechuck - busdrive gifter
Rishaed - bodyguard
Spiesr - ?
Neb - ? (busdrove Edoc and Neb N1)
Edoc - ?
Pancake - ?
Gregwolf - ?

What do you mean by "want me to claim along with spiesr?" I don't get it...are you a gifter as well, then? Are you two tied together, ie. masons?
Here something else that caught my eye in review...
Kanin Usagi wrote:If it helps make me seem less scummy to people, I will say that Nebuchadnezzar did not visit anyone last night. Also, just because Doom did not specifically mention myself does not in itself mean I am scum. He just didn't see me as a good target to focus attention on.
Kanin must have tracked me on night 2. This means that I did not kill Iron on night two. While I guess I could still be a third mafia, it certainly narrows down my options, as I would be a pretty lame mafia, with no night action.
Spiesr...who did you drive N2? Odd that you didn't come out with that right away.
Man, we're cutting deadline close, people...why do we always wait so long to get conversation going?!?

He means that I want him to claim, and he wants to know if anybody else wants him to claim.
Nebuchadnezer wrote:Spiesr...who did you drive N2? Odd that you didn't come out with that right away.
I haven't mentioned it yet because I since my busdriving didn't alter any claimed actions I think it might be better to wait and see if somebody claims something that can be disproved by it. So unless a Cop investigated somebody last Night or something that I might have screwed up I think I will sit on that info for the moment unless you guys really want it. Now that I mention cops, I think that if we have one and they have results on anybody who is alive (expect maybe chuck since his role is confirmed) that I would strongly recommend they claim now, even if they only have innocent results. Crossing oof anybody from the few remaining suspect should give us strong chances of hitting scum.
Nebuchadnezer wrote:Man, we're cutting deadline close, people...why do we always wait so long to get conversation going?!?
13 hours left it seems. So, do we want to try to end with a tie that gives us 24 hours more, or are we ready to lynch somebody now? I should be able to get on shortly before the deadline to juggle my vote to exactly where it needs to be to make a tie or whatever work. (And dissuade any scum attempts to shift the vote to an undesirable lynch at the last minutes.) (Assuming the Jonty will cut the votes off exactly at the time he listed rather than whenever they are when he gets on.)
I very much want pancakemix to provide his supposedly provable claim today. If it really can be proven then we will have only 4 suspects left (counting myself). We can just pick one of those to lynch to end the day with then, even if they don't have time to claim. If there are 3 scum left then we would have a 3/4 chance of hitting correctly, and a 1/4 chance of losing. I will take those odds at this point. If there are 2 scum left then we only have 1/2 chance of picking right, but we get 1 more try if we screw up.

Lol...sounds great, until I am suddenly the one getting lynched without a chance to defend/claim. I, too, would really like to hear pancake's claim. If I unvote, Gregwolf, Pancake and myself are all at one vote. I'll keep my vote on Greg, and wait to see how he responds. I will check back in about 8 hours. I won't be able to get back after that for another 12 hours. (I'll be on a bit yet, but can't guarantee anything.)

Okay, according to my count, gregwolf, chuck, neb, and pancakemix each have 1 vote. I think this means we get a 24 hour runoff. Is this correct Jonty?
