T-I-G CIV: Spambot Apocalypse (Game Thread)

[Kitanna]

This is response to Morsul's response that was in response to your post that G55 is "something"

All I'm doing is voicing my thoughts - something that you've also done by voicing your opinion that Shasta may be a seer.

Why would you throw out your seer prediction? Where is the benefit unless you are a hacker signaling bots or your a bot signaling cohorts on your thoughts just in case you don't make it to the night. I'm inclined to believe hacker because only a bot headed for the gallows (recycle bin? Hard drive wipe?) would make so blantant a seer comment on some who is still ALIVE!

Thank goodness, I'm not the only one who's angry about it.

I want to vote BG so much right now on principle but at worst I'm thinking hacker and as G55 pointed out that might not help our case too much.

Kitanna and G55 both seem better for their calling him out on it. Though G55 still on my radar.

X'ed G55 twice

I'm out for the day, but I hope to wake up early tomorrow again. Ciao!

The knee-jerk part of me says "vote for BG, obviously up to no good!" The logical part says"Bot BG has nothing to gain, hacker at best."
Which brings me to Boro and G55 and the advantage/disadvantage of lynching a hacker. G55 is right that the hacker counts as an ordo and we lose an "innocent" by lynching him/her. But at the same time the longer one is alive the more dangerous he/she becomes. A seer sees only an ordo and at end game the hacker can tip the scales to a bot victory. Ideally the bots just kill the hacker in the night.
While I don't disagree with Boro about potential merits of lynching a hacker I still don't think it's advisable. Especially in a small village. Every body counts in stopping a bot victory.

Downside: I had to do a friend a favor tonight and it ate quite a bit of my evening.

Upside: There's not much to catch up on.

Conclusion: We'll see what I get done. I have an early appointment that sort of snuck up on me (literally only made it this afternoon), so I'll actually have to sleep rather soon, but I'll get to what I can tonight.
