Is... is that horse a renowned physician?

What, did you cling to her skirts when you were a lad as she scrubbed the floors for your table scraps?"

At this, the merchants cease arguing, and look toward you. In addition, the bartender's face grows red, and walks out of his serving area, marches toward you, and shouts, "I will not have you starting a fight in MY tavern!". Hmm, seems you hit a sore point.

Oscar bows his head slightly, and leans in toward the bartender.

"My apologies, good sir, but I cannot sit idly by when someone makes up such nonsense about a fine establishment such as this. As I'm sure you know, us sailors can be a superstitious bunch, and I will not allow false gossip to spread and affect your business!"

If he responds positively, ask him if he knows anything anywhere to get a ship, supplies, and a half-decent sword.

Got £500 working four nights over two weekends.

Holy sugar.

(The total was £611, but that's including pay for the 15 hour induction period.)

wtf do you do?

Si señor.

Hey, that's not funny. I bet that when you drink your white-supremacy filth it leaves a toothbrush milk mustache.

You either drink milk weird or have tiny-rimmed glasses.

RattyB, for hopefully obvious reasons.

hector: I didn't say that I think TBF is more likely to be a third party than scum. I still think scum is the most likely option, but if I'm wrong about that he's almost certainly third party.

If he happens to flip town, the town won't be better off, clearly.

Anyway, cynical!hector would think that you're twisting an argument to suit your read, in both cases.

Perhaps cynical hector should put some effort into explaining why he feels that way instead of making blanket statements and leaving it at that.

Well for starters you say you're open-minded about TBF not being scum, but that if he's not scum he's third-party, and third-party should be killed anyway. Basically "I want TBF dead regardless". You were voting him on D1, with no evidence other than your respective day game's, during which he hasn't really deviated from his normal day play ie it's pants. I don't think the town should be mentioning TP's D1, so asked about why you were citing that as a reason for voting someone. Poorly, obviously...

I unvoted him after I calmed down and realised this is how TBF plays the game. I would've hoped that someone who was thinking I was a bit shady might have a little look-see at TBF's previous games to either confirm I'm backing off for a legit reason or if I'm talking nonsense, especially since your case on him is that he clearly doesn't have the town's interest at heart because of his poor play. You obviously didn't, and kept on with your case that his play isn't town-oriented, ergo he's not town. Which is stupid. See: D1 lynch, fillipk.

So yeah, at this point you appear to be indulging in confirmation bias - TBF isn't a crap player he's just not town, hector didn't miscommunicate his thoughts, he might be trying to misrepresent me - and that doesn't sit well with me.

That's an interesting way to put things, seeing as you were the one to bring up the issue of TPs on D1 in regards to your vote. You said if TBF wasn't scum, he was a TP, which - as implied by my questions - struck me as an odd thing to be worrying about for town on D1. It doesn't even look like you considered the possibility of him being incompetent town.

Why would I consider that as a possibility? TBF has played the game before, he knows how it works. And again, I didn't bring up third parties as a worry at all during day 1. I said that TBF was clearly not playing from a town orientated mindset and if not scum he was most likely a third party. You seem determined to project the impression that I'm hunting for third parties over scum, and I'd like to know why.

See above: his meta.

I'm not saying you're hunting TPs, I'm wondering why you would cite "his play isn't town so he's either scum or TP" as a reason to lynch someone on D1 when they're pretty much playing the game the way they always do.

Certainly, there were a number of players on D1 who could fit the bill of not having the town's best interests at heart. TDS posted a handful of times, Tiruin promised a reads list before day end that never came, I tunneled on TBF for ~30 hours, IronyOwl was voting for themselves at the end of the day; the list goes on.

Why did TBF deserve to be voted over these other players on the terms you settled on?

Tiruin and TDS were had low activity. I don't know what similarity you think IronyOwl has with the others you mentioned. TBF had a reasonable number of posts, but had made it clear that he had no interest in contributing any information to the town that he could avoid doing. Active players that are part taking in scummy behaviour are a higher priority for lynching as far as I'm concerned over inactive players or whatever you're accusing IronyOwl of.

I tuned out toward the end of D1, so I thought he'd left his vote on himself at the conclusion of D1, so that's nonsense now.

Anyway, I pointed out some anti-town play from other players, because that's why you were voting TBF. Has his play now been upgraded to scummy?

PPE:

TDS

Is that going to be your contribution for the day?

PPE2:

Oh-
@Tiruin: I'm certain he didn't visit me because <insert multiple contradictory, but valid, explanations here>.  Yeah, I really don't want to claim why.

*sigh*

One thing you should probably consider before posting is "will this advance my team's goal(s)?"

An Oklahoma Republican rep. says that pregnant women are 'hosts'. Wat.....

If an alien were looking at how placental mammal reproduction works, I suppose they'd call it the 'host', but that's only when looking at it in a 100% scientifically logical way that is free of emotion and it certainly describes the function. But still, I really don't agree with that label.

I know it's a feminist article on The Guardian, but the links to the original articles are in there.

My favourite was Humphrey's justification, assuming that all unintentional pregnancies result from irresponsibility on the part of the woman:

At first, Humphrey said that the original intention of the bill was to ensure that fathers are involved in supporting a child from conception. “I was wanting fathers to have to pay child support at the beginning,” he said, but that specific language was excised from the bill.

Ultimately, he said, his intent was to let men have a say. “I believe one of the breakdowns in our society is that we have excluded the man out of all of these types of decisions,” he said. “I understand that they feel like that is their body,” he said of women. “I feel like it is a separate — what I call them is, is you’re a ‘host.’ And you know when you enter into a relationship you’re going to be that host and so, you know, if you pre-know that then take all precautions and don’t get pregnant,” he explained. “So that’s where I’m at. I’m like, hey, your body is your body and be responsible with it. But after you’re irresponsible then don’t claim, well, I can just go and do this with another body, when you’re the host and you invited that in.”
