because of past games that simply aren't relevant
I couldn't disagree with this statement more. Past games are extremely important.
Anyways, I don't really want to discuss the ALIT situation anymore. It's not helping us find today's lynchee, that's for sure.

Yes, it's this time. I finally had some time to look back through the Goomboo bandwagon, and here are my thoughts and opinions:
Who let Mario enemies into the Kanto region?
Vote: goomboo
The first vote was a RVS by Thareous. He, just a little bit ago, claims that he would have unvoted if he had been online during the late game surge; now, this is obviously undisbutable, because we don't and never will know if he is being truthful or is using it as an excuse. He did have almost a week to unvote goomboo, but never did. He has also been slightly less active in this game; only 4 posts total so far. A quick search through them will show that his first serious post came ten days after the game began. Doesn't seem to care much about who's being lynched, eh?
The second vote came from Ma'am Sadia. She recently claimed it to be a bait vote; trying to see who would join the wagon. However, I don't believe her. This post is why:
While I'm waiting, does anyone in this game have any actual suspicions? Like, for even the smallest of reasons, has anyone stuck out, for flip-floppiness, bandwagoning, etc....................
This was made at 1:47 AM EST, more than an hour before the Day ended. The current vote tally at the time? Goomboo 6, myself 5. If Sadia's vote really was a bait vote, it had done it's job; she had learned who would join the wagon. Why then, with 73 minutes remaining in the Day, did she not state this at the time, and remove her vote from goomboo, whom she clearly is claiming she had no reason to believe was scum? However, she didn't; she didn't remove her vote, and she didn't call out those that joined the bandwagon like one might expect. She allowed herself to be a huge factor in Goomboo's lynch; a simple unvote would have saved goomboo and myself, keeping two townies alive. However, she didn't; she let goomboo die, and the only reason I can think of is that she is scum and knew goomboo was Town.
I can't guarantee I'll be on tonight when the Day ends. So...... don't lynch me. XD
Unvote
Vote: goomboo
If someone would like to tie it up by voting for goomboo I'd love you forever
Next is my vote! The reason why I voted for goomboo was simple: I was trying to save myself. Nothing more to say, really.
Next up is JC. He kinda just throws his vote in there..... No explanation, nothing. Also, no one called him out on it. However, he later stated that his reasoning for voting was:
To be honest, maybe Sadia just didn't want to lynch an experienced player - I voted for Goomboo simply because I didn't want Fused to die (not this early anyway).
Solid reasoning, I guess. Particularly hard to disprove, especially considering the timing of his vote; I still had two more votes than Goomboo at the time, so JC's vote didn't directly change the lynchee-to-be. Gonna have to leave JC alone, for now.
@ Fused, that's not an error. Sadia needs a vote I think
But alright, alright.. just only for the fact that you also saved me in ssbb mafia on day 1, I'm indebted to you.
Unvote Vote: Goomboo
Kokirion was next to join the bandwagon. This came right after my final post in which I attempted to defend myself. His vote was extremely important, as he tied up the count at 5. There's nothing really scummy in this post, nor in his reasoning. Nothing much to say about him, as well.
I wanted to lynch Thar but poop it, I am not letting you guys lynch fused. This poor man has been beaten down my Close Combat every day. hehe.. you guys play pokemon BR? yeah.. haha.. god damn
Unvote
Vote: goomboo (seriously thought this was a nickname for littlescumball at one point
This post came a couple after Koki's. I have absolutely no idea what he means in the first bit, nor do I know what Close Combat is, nor Pokemon BR. Even after reading Fig's massive reply I don't get it. A quick glance through his posts and I can't find him explaining this at any point. Would you mind doing so, Repentance?
Furthermore, his vote is eye-opening. It gave Goomboo 6 votes, making the 5-apiece tie. Now, why would he do this? Obviously he did not want a no lynch to occur, and one can only wonder why. Each potential reasoning is as unlikely as the next, so instead of wondering why, I'm going to ask:
Repentance, why did you try to avoid a no lynch by voting for goomboo extremely late in the Day?
Oh so days are in PST? Sweet that's my time zone!
Anyway, I'll restate why I think we shouldn't lynch Fused, "Day's over, right? I really don't know if it was the best idea to lynch Fused. If this lynch was built on the whole "Kill experienced players" strategy then I think it was an even worse idea, kill all the good players and who does the scum hunting and deducing? Oh well, lets just hope she flips scum."
Goomboo is inexperienced, and would result in a much much smaller loss if he flipped Town (Unless he's a PR), plus the fact that there is some chance he's Mafia.
So, Vote: goomboo
EBWODP
VOTE: goomboo
Although this vote doesn't appear in the final vote tally because he didn't unvote, the intention to lynch goomboo is already there. The first part of PokaLink's post shows that he hasn't been paying much attention to the game, as, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember anyone discussing lynching experienced players, JUST because they are experienced. Usually people who don't follow the game are VTs, but since this is a role madness game I'm not sure what PokaLink is up to.
Furthermore, his reasoning to lynch goomboo is certainly not the best. It looks rushed and just an excuse to add on to the bandwagon, ensuring Goomboo is killed. Not much there to justify a lynch, though.
Sure why not?
Vote: goomboo
I personally don't want fused to be lynched as he can very vital for town should he stay alive. That and the fact that the votes are very close, it would be a shame if someone were to change one's vote in the last hours.
The last vote on the wagon was from Mr. Fig. It was certainly late, and fairly unnecessary, but I don't think it's very much to worry about. Fig was simply adding on an insurance vote to make sure nobody tied it. It could be the work of scum, but I'm not getting any scum vibes from any of his posts. So for now, I think we should leave Fig alone.

Those are all the voters. Before I end this really quick post, there were a few posts that occured during the bandwagon that caught my eye, that I wanted to comment on.
Whoa, I didn't realize Fused had six votes. XD I'm trying to decide if I ACTUALLY want to lynch him or not... He's an experienced player and can be useful to have around.
But he's also Fused.
This vote is extremely scummy to me. Heroine clearly states that it's a bad idea to lynch me, and then leaves her vote on me. It doesn't add up. Also, she hasn't posted since.
So,
Heroine of Time, who should we lynch today?
Experience Shpexperience, who needs him?
This post is interesting simply because he half-seriously agrees with the bandwagon, but never votes himself. In fact, Celeboy has yet to make a vote throughout the entire game. He clearly semi-agreed with the lynch, so why wouldn't he place a vote? He could be scum trying to hide himself from people who look through bandwagon, like I am doing right now.
Salmon, don't be spreading rumors, otherwise I will turn you into a Magikarp
Stitch posted this after Mellow had posted a vote count showing that goomboo was due to be lynched. Instead of seriously asking why people were voting for goomboo, or doing something productive, he attempts to put the game back into Day 1 spam, which is even more noteworthy because it came at a very serious point in the game. He could very easily be scum trying to direct attention away from the vote count, ensuring goomboo was killed, someone who he would know as scum to be Town.

IGMEOY: Thareous, Repentance, Heroine
FoS: PokaLink, Stitch, Sadia
My main suspicion right now is Sadia; if the Day ended tonight, I'd vote for her. We still have 48 hours, though, so I'm in no hurry to place a vote.
