A bit quick on the bring up the Org policy lynch aren't you?No. Town Org is unhelpful enough to hurt the town and scum Org is next to impossible to get lynched. Lynch him now while we still have a chance.

Alternatively, he could prove that he's going to be rational and useful this time around. That'd be nice.
Dude, you missed the perfect chance to go all deeply rhetorical on him...
Kamina, Perhaps I'm a bit less aggressive. Or not, since it's paranormal, and not a BM. It depends on the overall activity of the game. At least I try to answer a bit better.Fair enough.

Usually there's indication of the existence of third party roles in the flavor, unless I've been so out of Paranormal mafias that this has changed. They'll show up as UFO sightings and other things, or they used to.I can almost guarantee that there will be 1-3 aliens about. Happened in every round so far.
Whoops, forgot to unvote Ottofar.For future reference, you don't have to unvote if you're just going to change your vote. Doing it this way with the unvote after the vote is probably more confusing over all.
Janus, you really are pushing for a policy lynch.Right into the OMGUS (more so than most). Not useful.
And man, here I am, going to rant. Oh no.Are you being useful yet? No. Thus policy lynch.
Fuck you, first off. You really are just stupid, aren't you. Every game, its policy lynch Org, for you, and you just won't quit, will you? Try to scum hunt instead of a policy lynch, but thats hard for scum, right?
I'm not throwing out a random vote. What, if anything, do you think of what I'm doing right now?I think not throwing out a random vote is acceptable. I think not doing anything else is not.
Save for drawing out those overeager to pounce on opening questions, Janus.While it may not be possible for the government to help, why aren't we just running away from this place?Completely useless question.

Derp derp derp.It's not a waste.
Each game, lets WASTE a lynch lynching Org.
When almost everyone has a power role useful in some way.
Yes.

Mysteriousbluepuppet, I don't think I've played a game with you before, so you can answer a question.
webadict is wearing a dress, and he asks you if it makes him look fat. What's the proper response?
Now for a question I actually care about the answer to. What's your general feeling going into this game? Excited? Nervous? Intimidated?

Forgive my ignorance, but what should we skip to? There's nothing to work with before it.... Are you not aware of how RVS works, ...It doesn't. We should skip it.
We should skip immediately to lynching scum. Since that's not likely, I wouldn't be opposed to an Org policy lynch (as you may have noticed). Failing that, anything that will get people talking is useful. RVS can do that, if done well. But so few people do it well that it's rarely useful.Forgive my ignorance, but what should we skip to?

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but it looked like you were trying to rush things from the first half of your post, the second half contradicted that, however. I suppose my lack of any experience playing with Org is showing.
Obviously, I'd rather lynch dopps and/or aliens. The entire reason that I'm voting Org is because he never provides useful info. Even now, the little he's posted has been ranting against me rather than doing anything useful.
Also, FOS Kamina, he is rushing, you are dumb.How am I rushing anything? The game is on a deadline. Nothing I do will make the day move any faster.

At least it's getting you talking, even if that talking isn't really helpful thus far.
the pot calling the kettle black.
Mr. Person, how do you think the new rules will affect day one dynamics?
While it looked like he was trying to rush, he revoked it and it isn't going to work anyway. From what I've seen of his playstyle in other games, he tends to do stupid shit like that whether he's town or scum, so I can't really conclude anything from it. I will watch him, but I don't see enough evidence to vote him yet.But ... but ... yeah. It's probably stupid, but that doesn't mean I'm going to back down. At least in Paranormal, there's always a backup plan.
Fuck you, JanusTwoface. You claim that RVS isn't going to start the conversion. Protip: Neither is a call for a policy lynch. Either everybody agrees with you, Org gets lynched, and you've otherwise learned nothing or people don't agree with you and nothing happens. So tell me, how is a policy lynch on Org going to kickstart the conversation?Um. Look what's happening. People are conversing.

Do you think we should be worried about them already?
I'm not throwing out a random vote. What, if anything, do you think of what I'm doing right now?
webadict, what will be your strategy for this game?
Org, you'd make a perfect spore spreader. Chances are you're not one, but damned if you wouldn't be THE BEST at it.

And lynching someone for being 'dumb' isn't a good strategy. Look at where it got us in the current BM. Two 'dumb' townies lynched in a row, and now at LYLO. This isn't a BM, but voting on grounds of being 'dumb' isn't a good idea. Especially using your definition of dumb, i.e. anyone who disagrees with you.
Sorry, it's only my 2nd game, and I royally sucked in the RVS of the first one, so it's effectively my first experience with RVS. Would you like me to rephrase the question?webadict, what will be your strategy for this game?
This question bugs me and I can't quite put my finger on why.
Why are you not asking webadict a hypothetical question? Since you're asking what he's going to do, not what he would do, it's almost rolefishing, since strategy is inextricable from role.
For one, I'm too used to defending against Azure right now, and you need large a explanation to do that.Org, you'd make a perfect spore spreader. Chances are you're not one, but damned if you wouldn't be THE BEST at it.

This is entirely too much explanation for an FOS from Org. Unvote. Watcha scared about, Squirtle?
Wait, what the hell am I talking about.Sorry for the ambiguity, the hes in the second paragraph referred to Janus. I was responding to Org.
KaminaSquirtle, new question. What the hell are you talking about in that post I just voted you for? Who do all those ambiguous pronouns refer to?

For one, I'm too used to defending against Azure right now, and you need large a explanation to do that.
I had no way of telling just how much people ignored Org's opinion, Janus may have just wanted me to believe that.
Org is right, for once. Since we're still thick in the RVS there's no reason for you, KaminaSquirtle, to be coming out and defending JTF for whatever he's said and done. So why are you buddying him?What do you think it is? This is my first non BM game. Everything seems to work completely differently. Look at that game and how it worked. That is my only experience with mafia. Now I know what's expected.Sorry, it's only my 2nd game, and I royally sucked in the RVS of the first one, so it's effectively my first experience with RVS.

You talk too much. In an explanatory and conciliatory manner, no less. And you give too much ground at the slightest push.

I'm thinking you're probably scum. Or at the very least a paranoid noob. Which is it, Squirtle Squirtle Squirtle?
And a policy lynch doesn't make the day any shorter.Not timewise, but it makes us short town. Scum should be lynched, not town, no matter how stupid. That is the point of town.
It's a shame, I was about to extend you some noob slack but then you go and do something violently reactionary like this.Because I was thinking in the context of BM. What he's doing seems different now. I understand it from a new perspective. He's suggesting a lynch simply because of a player's rep, with no regards to losing a chance to lynch scum. I can unvote whenever the hell I want. I want answers out of the fucker.
Whyyy are you voting for JTF? You were just explaining away his actions a minute ago.
Eduren, given that flavour points our four dopp pods, how many other non-town roles should we expect?While I may have more experience with Paranormal than you, I don't have much familiarity with the setup. If I were to venture a guess I'd say that the cult is unlikely, and we will have 3 or 4 third party roles.
Eduren, would you vote to lynch a claimed spore spreader?Right now I see the spore spreader as a Jester. In both cases, a claim for that role is a whole barrel of WIFOM. Without any evidence to the contrary, my tendency is to lynch all WIFOMers. But I'm not really sure in this case.
It starts!

Goddamn, I'm not that stupid.
Yep, watch it guys. Kamina is probably scum, or spore spreader.

Also, you're putting words in my mouth. I made no suggestion about your motives. But now that you've brought it up, is JTF your scumbuddy? I mean, since you just got accused of buddying, what better way to prove that you're not then voting the guy you're accused of buddying up to?

So, what, now that you're backed into a scummy corner you've got no options? That's pretty much basically correct.Fine then. You want me to just give up on this game? I'm tempted to do so, seeing as there's almost no possible way for me to not get lynched. I'll try to contribute anyway. But only for one day, I guess.
As for what I want you to do, I want you to continue self-destructing (It's super effective!) because each little bit you gives me makes it easier and easier to vote for you.

Are you being useful yet? No. Thus policy lynch.
When you're town, you don't help the scumhunting process. When you're scum, you're next to impossible to get lynched because people are just like 'oh that's just Org'. Thus if you're not going to be useful, we should lynch you.

SS then?You dopp or exterminator then? Only those wouldn't spread the spores.

SS=TownSince when?
Spore Spreader
Race: Alien
Goal: Kill
Rules: This alien organism has been engineered to spread by spores and take over human hosts. The only thing is that the host has to die for the spores to spread. Whenever the Spore Spreader is lynched, two random people will be targeted by spores. If the target is human, they will lose their current role/race and become a new Spore Spreader. If the spore spreader is night-killed, the attacker is hit by spores. Aliens and Doppelgangers are immune to the spores.
Tech: 0 Slots
Victory: At least one living Spore Spreader alive with a town victory. If a Spore Spreader is the last living being in town, they also win.
Very poor response.SS=TownSS then?You dopp or exterminator then? Only those wouldn't spread the spores.

It only makes us short town if they're actually town. And even then, if they're dragging down the town it's a good trade. Mafias (in general) are balanced so that you can mislynch twice and still win.And a policy lynch doesn't make the day any shorter.Not timewise, but it makes us short town. Scum should be lynched, not town, no matter how stupid. That is the point of town.

That is a really bad way to go.
You are giving up. Really.
You have two days to convince us you aren't scum. Try.
Skim it. Read. You need to to understand what is happening.Huh. Actually being helpful. Still not actively scumhunting and a bit short on the overall content, but it's a start.
Not reading is scummy.
Usefulness comes later.This should be enough to lynch you on.
SS=TownWrong. SS == 3rd party. Deal with the scum first.
Wrong. Minimalism actively hurts town. Even if you refuse to read through what's already been said, at the very least you need to be active from here on out.No. Less is more.How? Also less Org please, more smart., I am not a gambling manSo far you are.

Well, two reasons I feel scumminess from the guy...
A: He's attempting to get me lynched by assuming spore spreader. Lynching a spore spreader is probably the worst thing you can do to one.
B: He switched his reasoning to me not being a spore spreader. While I'll stress this is true, it brings less reason to the table for my lynch as I'm not trying to claim spore spreader.

A: He's attempting to get me lynched by assuming spore spreader. Lynching a spore spreader is probably the worst thing you can do to one.You countered this point with the second sentence. If he's trying to lynch you, he either doesn't think you're the spore or he's a third party. It's as easy as that.
B: He switched his reasoning to me not being a spore spreader. While I'll stress this is true, it brings less reason to the table for my lynch as I'm not trying to claim spore spreader.Saying things doesn't make them true. And outright claiming the spore spreader would be a rather poor plan. WIFOMing it like you're doing is a little better, but it essentially means you are one of three things:

Are you really saying we should mislynch less than ideal townies over scum because it won't absolutely kill us? That's complete bullshit. We shouldn't settle for townies when we can find scum.It only makes us short town if they're actually town. And even then, if they're dragging down the town it's a good trade. Mafias (in general) are balanced so that you can mislynch twice and still win.And a policy lynch doesn't make the day any shorter.Not timewise, but it makes us short town. Scum should be lynched, not town, no matter how stupid. That is the point of town.
Unvote.
Vote JanusTwoface.
I agree with this at least.Wrong. Minimalism actively hurts town. Even if you refuse to read through what's already been said, at the very least you need to be active from here on out.No. Less is more.How? Also less Org please, more smart., I am not a gambling manSo far you are.
He's being way too obvious about it. It looks to me like he's trying to make everyone think he's a spore spreader.WIFOM, but still a validish point.
Case in point.Also trolling is not the same as mafia playing.Yeah it is, Web does it all the time.
In other news, i find that Kamina really need to get a grip, that towel was dropped way too fast. Hell, the game is started for less thna 12 hours and seems you are already ready to die. Wanna survive ? Get scumhuntingI'm trying to get a feel for how these games work. I figured it a good idea to cool off and think more logically for a bit.
You can't really be that stupid.I rarely play mafia, yes I can.
Are you really saying we should mislynch less than ideal townies over scum because it won't absolutely kill us? That's complete bullshit. We shouldn't settle for townies when we can find scum.Not really. If there's not a clear scumpick, getting rid of someone that will cause problems during the endgame is a perfectly valid strategy. Now Org was being somewhat useful and there are plenty of scummier candidates to choose from: you, SHAD0Wdump, and Criptfeind.
Do you want to by lynched?You can't really be that stupid.I rarely play mafia, yes I can.
Awfully confident for a bullshit argument.Get scumhuntingAlready found one.
Anyway, busy streaming.
Everyone was all over me for shit like this. If you're serious, I really don't have anything to say. You're doing about everything you can to get lynched. If I looked like this, I was hella bad.You can't really be that stupid.I rarely play mafia, yes I can.
More useful then you so far. He has called someone on somthing scummy, all you have done is beat your chest about a policy lynch.If all you've seen me do is that, you haven't been reading well.
I'm not sure why... Your entire post is essentially worthless except the comment on webadict, but here goes. Anything I didn't respond to, I didn't think was worth responding to.
I dissagree, I find scum org not that hard to lynch. I think you have very odd fear of him. Not really, I think you are scum trying to poloicy lynch some poor dumb sap.

I got a feeling that Janus is going to try to sneak away well you guys go after that turtle, but I don't think I will let him.JTFUmm... what? What exactly do you mean sneak away? I'm not going anywhere.
That's better. You seemed to have been arguing for lynching dysfunctional townies without trying to find actual scum. However, I still think you should only go for dysfunctional townies if there's almost no leads on the scum. Which is not the case. So we should be hunting them, not worrying about lynching townies.Are you really saying we should mislynch less than ideal townies over scum because it won't absolutely kill us?

Then there's Panarsenic, Mr.Person, and webadict, all with plenty of experience telling them that lurking is scummy and yet doing it anyways. Especially Pandarsenic, who's online but has yet to post...
How? Randomly lynching people has no way to work ever, I am sure even you know that, what do you think we should do?Thanks for taking that out of context. I already answered this literally sentences after the quote you pulled out.
We should skip immediately to lynching scum. Since that's not likely, I wouldn't be opposed to an Org policy lynch (as you may have noticed). Failing that, anything that will get people talking is useful. RVS can do that, if done well. But so few people do it well that it's rarely useful.
DON'T WORRY WE DON'T HAVE TO BE GOOD! SOMETHING ELSE WILL SAVE US!Nope. What I meant is that almost everyone has a power role. Thus I personally have a backup plan.
But it sure as hell shuts down conversation. Hell, if we had agreed with you the game would pretty much start on day two.The whole point is that people don't agree with me. And the it doesn't shut down conversation. I'm doing it and people are talking about it. How hard is that to understand?
For the record, your only non scummy post was the in post. Nice one JTF.Bullshit.
SS=TownWrong. SS == 3rd party. Deal with the scum first.
Also trolling is not the same as mafia playing.Yeah it is, Web does it all the time.
A: He's attempting to get me lynched by assuming spore spreader. Lynching a spore spreader is probably the worst thing you can do to one.
B: He switched his reasoning to me not being a spore spreader. While I'll stress this is true, it brings less reason to the table for my lynch as I'm not trying to claim spore spreader.
I am sorry you are right. I was wrong. I should have said "all you have done that is significant is beat your chest about a policy lynch."So basically 40% of my content up to that point was Org policy lynch (and I still think I'm being generous). Your point just doesn't stand up.
In my experience he's hard to lynch. If you've had a difference experience, that's great, but it really doesn't effect what I think. Thus why I didn't think it was worth responding to.QuoteI dissagree, I find scum org not that hard to lynch. I think you have very odd fear of him. Not really, I think you are scum trying to poloicy lynch some poor dumb sap.
Really, what you 'ignored' seems to refute some points you made right in this post I am quoting, is that why you ignored them? They point out how scummy you are? We will get to that later I think.Just like how your post countered itself and how the quotes you took out of context were countered / meant the opposite of what you made out when they were in context? Bring it.
Well and good for you. If you are scum though that does not help us at all. And even if you were not scum then the scum will still have power roles. Lets not not care because I am sure that no mater what you can do, if we just don't care about the game the scum will win anyway.I have no idea what you're saying here...
Yeah. So, scummy actions are just to get people to talk? No bad JTF bad boy! That never works. And if you will notice, people are talking, but there is a distinct lack of policy lynching going on.I don't think it's scummy. And my actions are getting people to talk. I didn't expect a policy lynch on Org to go though. And at this point, I'd actually rather it didn't. He's doing a little better. We'll see tomorrow / Thursday if that holds.
Meh. A town vote is a town vote. And I have no plans to 'deal' with him other then pointing out to the scum how much of a good idea it is for them to kill him. Why does everyone (That I think is anti town) saying that I want to lynch him?A town vote is a town vote. A 3rd party vote is a 3rd party vote. It's entirely possible that the Spore Spreaders could work something out with other Aliens and be completely anti-town (for example).
FUCK! A trillion new replies since I last posted! That is utterly amazing, you guys... Meph: I told you, what this board needed was a new Paranormal. *cheer*There are still lurkers. Too many lurkers, just hidden by the noise.
- Janus, the other side of that coin, is eager, maybe a bit too much; I understand the sentiment of his point, but Org is not (yet) being useless, so back off the policy lynch or be branded as scummy "lynch someone NOW!" Answer this: given the latest developments, do you still want Org lyched? If so, why?I'm guessing you haven't read through everything. Throughout the policy lynch bits, he wasn't being useful. Then he had a couple of useful posts, so I've since unvoted him. We'll see how he does tomorrow / Thursday but I'm semi-hopeful.

But a question for you: what is your opinion of Shadowdump so far? He really has been Orger than Org, and scummy to top it off... should he fall to the ax you had branded for Org earlier?
Attack on Leafsnail, comment on Jim Groovester, Org policy lynch.
Still 1/3 ain't bad...
2Second game post, defending your lets lynch org. Theory still strong.Right on this one.
1 1/3 so far.
Two of thous are insignificant or not really part of the game. 2 2/33th game post, more org. Some technical things. Very very light hit at solly, the first real thing in this game that does not have to do with org. Theory is Okay, maybe if you follow up on solly it will crumble.Comments on Jim Groovester, KaminaSquirtle, and Solifuge. Two on Org.
So 2/5 here so 1 11/15 total.
Once again not significant, but what ever, it is more then the others so you can have it. 2 2/34th game post, defense against a stupid attack. Not a death blow to theory but obvious I was exaggerating when I said you did nothing else.Not directly Org related.
0/1.
1 11/15.
5th game post. More org.Repsonses to Org, sure. But completely game related. I'll give you half.
Total is 2 7/30.
6th game post. You say RVT is useless and we should skip, no thoughts on how to skip. Ties in with org lynch.No it doesn't. We should go directly into scum hunting without all the pointless questions.
0/1.
7th game post, same as above but with stronger ties to org lynch, a little playing with Solly.This time I rbing up the Org lynch. But the entire point is that anything getting people talking (including bringing up policy lynches) is useful. Then the Solifuge business.
2/3 (and I think I'm being generous).
2 9/10
8th game post. Same as above. No playing with Solly.Yup. Same as above. The point is that RVS is useless and that getting people talking is helpful.
1/2 for 3 2/5.
9th. Same as above.Def not. It's about rushing, not at all about policy lynches. Unless you really believe that talking about a policy lynch actually rushes the game.
0
10th and last. more Org. You say you have a back up plan. And that it is okay to be scummy because it gets people to talk. Also know as the Solly complete-lack-of-defense.Do you agree now that it is getting people to talk? Huh. In any case, 1/2 Policy Lynch related at best.
Total is 3 9/10.
In my experience he's hard to lynch. If you've had a difference experience, that's great, but it really doesn't effect what I think.

- Kamina, you're being useful and active, but clueless. Clueless Scum or Clueless Town, I've not yet decided. But bringing yourself to the foreground earns you a FoS: Kamina. This doesn't necessarily mean you're scum, some of us are more drawn to the spotlight than others, but you should know by now that being one of those will at least make you seem suspect. So, FoS on you. Tell us why you're being helpful, and why wouldn't we be better off without you.I'm being helpful because that's the only way I know to play town well. You pressure likely suspects, hoping they will drop a scumtell. How else am I supposed to scumhunt but to point out possible scum and try to force them to respond to my questions? I see no way to play town well without being 'helpful'.
Basically, you are not digging yourself deeper into the scum hole by much. But that is most likely cause you hit rock bottom. No one else is anywhere near as scummy as you to me. (Other than maybe shadowdump, but he is sorta special.)If that's really what you believe, I doubt I can convince you. It's really not worth the effort right now. I'll hope that's just hyperbole though.
Zathras:
See here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1703857#msg1703857). I'm guessing he's Spore Spreader or dopp, but I'm willing to gamble on there being a Xenozooligist snatching him tonight. If not, we can see what tomorrow brings.
Criptfeind:
You're math is about as much bull as mine was. Basically, you say that anything that isn't related to an Org policy lynch was insignificant.
If that's really what you believe, I doubt I can convince you. It's really not worth the effort right now. I'll hope that's just hyperbole though.
Arent you going to find a minor infraction with me, tunnel me to the end of time and cause me to tunnel you, wasting two days and giving the game to the scum? It's tradition.
Also you have no thoughts on me. Makes me sad, I thought we were hate buddies when we played mafia?
*crosses Zathras off list of lurkers*This is the right, clueful thing to do. Given that there are too many players for my little mind to sort them out, I'm working on a script that will calculate how many hours it's been since each player's last post. Lynch all lurkers is a good strategy, especially in this large sort of game, so whoever has been lurking the longest will have my default vote, unless there's a scummier target present.- Kamina, you're being useful and active, but clueless. Clueless Scum or Clueless Town, I've not yet decided.And now time to out a lurker. If there's on thing I've learned, it's lynch all lurkers.Vote Leafsnail.
Wait did you turn out scum that one game? I think maybe you did.
Also I have played with pandar more then I have with you, one game does not a tack record make. Unless you only have one game that is.
Please don't emulate webadict. One is already far more than we need.Off-topic: Sigged!
Cript, you have me mistaken for Pandar. He's the one that has a history of tunneling on you (see VM1). Me? I'm guilty of the same with you and with Jim, but never without reason, and neither of you have given me reason just yet, Jim, what are your interpretations of Cript's play so far? How about Janus, shadowdump, lurky webadict or I? what are your top scumpicks so far?
Pandarsenic, how lurky or active should we expect you to be this week and the coming weekend? If you don't live up to your answer, should we policy-lynch you?
Why do you care, Zathras?Because I do care, Jim darling, your interpretations may or may not be good, accurate or incisive, but they're bound to be interesting. C'mon! Give us them pearls of wisdom, man! Or should I post a limerick?
SHADOWdump is obviously up to something. I'm debating whether or not he's capable enough to pull off a Spore Spreader fakeclaim. [...] SHADOWdump is at the top but I'm wrangling with whether or not it's a good idea to get him lynched.I'm right here with you. He seems like the right D1 lynch, except for the fact that he seems too obviously like an ideal D1 lynch. I would not oppose his hanging, but I feel there's more to his story than he's letting on (unwittingly or not). I'd prefer to find a scummier one, and keep him in the backburner until we've got more data.
Mysteriousbluepuppet never answered why he was voting Solifuge despite being available, so he's at the top of the lurker list for me even though there are probably more egregious examples out there.Both MBP and Solifuge are suspicious to me at the moment. Neither has been useful, both have a history of spreading mischief when allowed to lurk, and both their arguments are vacuous.
webadict can do whatever the hell he wants because he's webadict. He's impossible to get any useful information out of, even with the most stubborn questioningThis seems very similar to Janus's original point about Org, and yours about Shadowdump, without the variable of him not knowing what he's doing -- he most certainly does. Thus, until I hear more details from him that convince me otherwise, I'm thinking Webadict is our correct target for the day one lynch,
Why do you care, Zathras?Because I do care, Jim darling, your interpretations may or may not be good, accurate or incisive, but they're bound to be interesting. C'mon! Give us them pearls of wisdom, man! Or should I post a limerick?
Pandar, I know the posting has been furious, and it would be unfair for me to accuse you of lurking at this point, so I'll Unvote you for now... but please do answer my original RV question:Pandarsenic, how lurky or active should we expect you to be this week and the coming weekend? If you don't live up to your answer, should we policy-lynch you?
I intend to be inactive:
While sleeping
While in classes
While doing other things
I intend to lurk (that is, read without posting):
Never, you tardfaces
Any further questions?
Re If I care it's SHAD0Wdump doing it:
No, it's weird behavior (confessed by him to be nontownlike in his last post) and I suspect him of trying to make us think he's attempting reverse psychology on us by going "I'M A SPORE SPREADER BUT DON'T LYNCH ME."
I've made my opinion on people fucking with the town quite clear in the past and I think that SHAD0Wdump doesn't deserve special treatment. He makes his scumgame better by making his towngame worse (THREE WORDS/POST LIMIT HURRRRRRRR) and I'm having none of it.
Who the hell would do this?

webadict can do whatever the hell he wants because he's webadict. He's impossible to get any useful information out of, even with the most stubborn questioning, instead opting to prove how smart he is by fallaciously dissecting questions to their core fallacies. If he gets really mad at somebody because they accused him of having, I dunno, the brain of a Nobel Prize Nominee instead of a winner, and tries to get them lynched because he's insecure about his widdle ego he's probably town. Absolutely infuriating to play with. Usually he's more talkative than this though, so that's at the least a bit curious. Also you should probably not ask me about webadict because I find it addicting to antagonize him because he's so easy to rile up into a bloodthirsty rage and I frequently become his target because of this.Oh come on. I do plenty of good things! Nobody looks at the good things I do.

If it isn't obvious to you that the answer could be anything but "scumhunt," then it's pretty clear you have no intention or desire to do so. You're just trying to back out of a failed gambit now.But give me an example of how I can use the attention for scumhunting.
You can't. Not effectively. Ever hear no publicity is bad publicity? Well, that's a lie. You can't turn bad attention around on other people. You just have to get rid of it and then turn it on other people.But yeah, again, if I'm to die so soon, I got to use whatever resources I have available to me, and right now all I have is everyone aiming guns at me. So hey, maybe I'll be the first to use it well?
But then why aren't you using it, O SHAD0Wdump? With your crazy WIFOM, you must be anti-town in some way.You can't. Not effectively. Ever hear no publicity is bad publicity? Well, that's a lie.

No, not voting at all is worse.Nice evade. My question still stands.

Either you are a bit too riled up by this little witch hunt I started on myself, or you are scum making use of this to throw votes at me idly.

The way I acted recently, lets just say I'm not too proud of it. I have garnered a lot of attention, bad attention, attention involving big sharp pitchforks, or perhaps mutant teeth in the following night. So if I'm to die, I best make as much use of my current predicament as possible.
So I ask you all. I've got this attention now... How do I use it?

Dear Sir Toaster, I feel that your post, link (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1704614#msg1704614), indicates that you are scum because of such a shallow response. Furthermore, your further post, link (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1704605#msg1704605), deepens the case against you because you assume I have no intention to scumhunt despite showing some interest.Where exactly in these posts are you using it? All I see is sarcasm and uslessness.

I don't. There's a difference between "caring" (being invested in) and "interested" (wishing to hear a response). I am interested in what you have to say about the players here, as I know you to be incisive. I don't particularly care what you or others think of me, I am interested in your opinions of that exchange and the players therein; since I was part of that exchange, include opinions on me if you wish, sure.
You're being friendly, asking what you should do. From what I've seen of people reacting to me, that's a scumtell.Another thing, I've hit just about every other alarm in the military base at this point. Does this really come as a surprise?

How do I use it?If it isn't obvious to you that the answer could be anything but "scumhunt," then it's pretty clear you have no intention or desire to do so. You're just trying to back out of a failed gambit now.But give me an example of how I can use the attention for scumhunting.
Where exactly in these posts are you using it? All I see is sarcasm and uslessness.
It looks to me like you're tying to put a failed gambit aside, like it never happened. Your situation now looks to me like my situation a bit ago. You did something stupid, and now want to put it behind you. Well, I didn't get to, and neither should you.
You're being friendly, asking what you should do. From what I've seen of people reacting to me, that's a scumtell.
Textbook scum.
Those posts there, I'm asking questions. Gauging how willing others are to attempt to help out someone who's basically gasping for air. Toaster wasn't helping well, I suppose in a way he was though. You? Nope, I see no attempts to do so, just attempts at conviction.Maybe because I'm pretty much doing the same things? Everyone was after me for them, so someone should be after you.
My vote stays.
Kamina: Bold is my post, underline is yours. Why do you insist on echoing my argument? You're doing nothing original here, just (literally) repeating my words back at him.I seem to be completely unable to have a original thought...
SHADOWdump is a stupid topic of conversation. Let's change the subject.I agree. I'm more interested in why webadict finds it necessary to evade answering why he voted Toaster out of the blue.
Everyone giving me shit for lurking: I leave myself logged in 24/7. If you see me offline it probably means someone stole my computer or my charger stopped working.The problem is that you were posting on the Mafia board three hours before this post, but didn't feel the need to post here. Still at least you've posted now. Unvote
Also this discourages the potentiality of Dopps hiding behind that claim - especially if it's a Dopp PWVUnless a dopp was hinding behind the claim before he realized all of the details and can't back down now. This is something I could believe of SHAD0Wdump.
@JanusTwoface: Why are you now changing your story? You are aware that's scummy, right?Two facts:
Did you call for a policy lynch on Org because you wanted Org lynched or did you call it to get the conversation started? It looks an awful lot like you legitimetly wanted Org lynched, yet now you seem to be saying you never wanted Org lynched at all. And even if you did do it to get the conversation started, I can't bring myself to even consider unvoting you. Good job.
Well peeps, I'm back, and wow, Orger than Org... I feel so proud.You've now been compared to Webadict and Org and seem thrilled about both. Just to let you know, neither of these is a good thing.
Basically, it doesn't matter who I am. The point is, I'm playing the way I want to. Possibly like no-one else can or will. Go ahead and lynch if you feel the need, but it'll give you just about as much information as anybody else.Playing to have fun is great, but the problem comes when you ruin the fun for others. It analogous (although less serious) to yelling fire in a crowded theatre. It may be fun to you, but it's downright dangerous to others.
So far, I'm having a boatload of fun. But I'll agree, I'm not working quite like a town so far. So I'll try to go back to my original plan of playing this game as properly as possible while limiting myself to as few words as possible per post if you let me, since it's very enjoyable trying to go for word economy.
Oh come on. I do plenty of good things! Nobody looks at the good things I do.I think part of that is because you tend not to look at bad things you do. So we just have to return the favor. :-\
Everyone else: The Spore Spreader doesn't want to play like a Jester. Just because they're lynched, doesn't mean they'll win. It wastes a lynch on them (They need to win with the town), and they have no idea who was infected.I think people are missing one part of this. It's not who was infected. It's IF anyone was infected. On a lynch, two people will be chosen randomly. I'd guess somewhere between 1/3 and as many as 1/2 of the players are dopps or aliens, if any of those are hit you've immediately lost one potential new Spore Spreader. It's a statistically significant chance that getting lynched will immediately make you lose.
People are too happy to throw the L-word around this game... The game hasn't even been running 24 hours yet. (I'm looking at you as well Zathras of the blue words). Not to say that lynch all lurkers is necessarily a bad idea, just that they're being jumped on after waaaay too short a window.And we should probably lynch Toaster.Explain. Voting without a reason is worse than not voting at all.
Wheeerre are yooouuuu, Leafsnail? Stop lurking!
Vague attacks and an urge to appear active are indicative of scumminess in anyone.Save for drawing out those overeager to pounce on opening questions, Janus.Do you really believe that this is indicative of scumminess? For me in particular? I do the same thing in every game I'm in.
Oh man disassociation vote. SO OBVIOUSAnd a policy lynch doesn't make the day any shorter.Not timewise, but it makes us short town. Scum should be lynched, not town, no matter how stupid. That is the point of town.
Unvote.
Vote JanusTwoface.
Because I was thinking in the context of BM. What he's doing seems different now. I understand it from a new perspective. He's suggesting a lynch simply because of a player's rep, with no regards to losing a chance to lynch scum. I can unvote whenever the hell I want. I want answers out of the fucker.This post seems to me like being asked why you haven't done your homework, and then answering:
I'm done being wishy-washy, as you pointed out I was. Are you seriously suggesting I would be so stupid as to bus my scumbuddy this early just because of a small accusation?
Goddamn, I'm not that stupid.
Yay! Lets act scummy and then vote the people that vote us for it! Fuck you LeafSnail, you should know better....?
I got a feeling that Janus is going to try to sneak away well you guys go after that turtle, but I don't think I will let him.JTF
Firstly, the whole point is that it isn't scummy (just something scum is more keen to jump on). Secondly, why do you then vote the guy I voted that makes no sense.
Haha. I know. That's why it's funny! But, to be more serious, I felt a significant lacking in his presence, and have thus used my vote of red to summon forth his spirit. Unfortunately, that may involve crossing through the Forest of Reasoning, but I skipped that because I'm already level 47. Good thing I'm wearing my Ring of Evasion +2.No, not voting at all is worse.Nice evade. My question still stands.
While I'm dragging up a few older posts, I feel like pointing out I would of voted SHAD0Wdump yesterday, but I really want to give a Zoologist a chance to grab him first. I still do.
Too lazy, I feel scummy.
Wow. What a thing to say in mafia. Get your ass in here soon or you die. Unvote SHAD0Wdump At least you are here. But really read it, I want your thoughts on what has happend so far, lets get you back up to speed huh?Unvote.Save for drawing out those overeager to pounce on opening questions, Janus.While it may not be possible for the government to help, why aren't we just running away from this place?Completely useless question.
Yay! Lets act scummy and then vote the people that vote us for it! Fuck you LeafSnail, you should know better.

Far be it from me to question the mighty warrior webadict with his shining armor and holy sword +5, but what are you trying to get out of Toaster?This is why I worship Allknowia, the All-Knowing God of Knowing All. I get the +4 on all Knowing checks.
He's not concerned about your vote at all and you didn't ask him any questions, so he pretty much has no reason to respond to you.
Why?

He was incredibly scummy
True. But I thought the point was the overeagerness to attack opening questions. And I think that my general attitude on lurkers would explain any want to be active.Vague attacks and an urge to appear active are indicative of scumminess in anyone.Save for drawing out those overeager to pounce on opening questions, Janus.Do you really believe that this is indicative of scumminess? For me in particular? I do the same thing in every game I'm in.
Eh, bored, I'll continue catching up later.Is it later yet? The game is still moving fast enough that lurking is too easy to miss.
While I'm dragging up a few older posts, I feel like pointing out I would of voted SHAD0Wdump yesterday, but I really want to give a Zoologist a chance to grab him first. I still do.Why did you feel the need to phrase this this way? It looks like you're being defensive for something you haven't been accused of.
If you were only calling for an Org policy lynch to get the conversation started, why did you spend nearly all of your time bickering with Org instead of actually talking to any of the other people talking about the Org policy lynch you suggested?Because he was there. And I did somewhat, although you are quite correct that I could have done more. Not going to work in another game though, so meh?
Hm. Yeah, So my top three scum areOh. There. Shiny.
Janus, Kamina, and Shadow. I think Kamina is it, so there.
I am already voting Kamina, no need to change.A *lot* of things have been said in this thread. Including basically an about face from Kamina since everything you've brought up. So do you have anything new or any thoughts about his behavior since you voted him?
He was very wishy washy, followed by I give up, and a few other things I said earlier and have no deisre to draw bakc out since they have already been said, you should know this from reading this thread.
Not much, Im still reading.Just don't wander off... :)
Here is my thinking of Shadow, though. Distracting us to lynch him, maybe Spore Spreader, HOWEVER, possibly trying to get us off buddy SQuirtle
Maybe, just a line of thought I had
Buncha stuff.Yes, these have been pointed out. I'll remove my vote when I've seen more original contributions, rather than just attacking an me, an easy target.
I am already voting Kamina, no need to change.So there's no chance you're wrong AT ALL? Not willing to change your mind when new evidence of scum appears is scummy.

The idea of him running a smoke screen is an interesting idea, but I don't think that they would. The only reason that would make sense is if they're both scum and Kamina has a *much* more powerful role that they need tonight and they panicked. Otherwise, they're wasting one to save another. It's possible, I just don't think it's that likely.
Also, attempts to proclaim himself an "easy target" is just an appeal to emotion- trying to hide behind being new to avoid a lynch.That isn't what I meant at all. All Leaf did was point out some obvious reasons for me looking scummy, and nothing really else. My point was to call him out on that. He may have been restricting himself to pointing out the obvious to appear helpful while not really doing anything.
Who are your top scumpicks at the moment? I get the sense you don't have any strong suspicions so far.
Would you rather I rage at the machine and waste some lynches? No. Let's save that for when I have evidence.
Why are you buddying me?
How about you? Who are your top so far, and how strongly do you feel about them?
Sorry I just don't feel like playing man.Is Duke abusing you again, Toony?
Sorry I just don't feel like playing man.
Ok, I'm not sure I understand exactly what buddying is. When I asked webadict why he voted toaster, that's buddying, but defending isn't? I'm confused.Why are you buddying me?
Calm down. Just because somebody says you're acting like town doesn't mean they're buddying you.
It's a difficult judgment to make to say when people are buddying. Usually it's noticeable and intentional, it feels forced, or it's uncalled for, or it's completely unnecessary.
Do you think JTF is trying to get on your good side here by saying your actions look like town? That's usually the question you need to ask.
Normally I despise grandiose contributions that ultimately don't really mean anything but that's actually quite handy.Agree with this on the lurker tracking thing.
It should go without saying that this should not substitute content you would normally post if you didn't have that thingamajig. If it does I will attempt to lynch you. I've seen too many scum try to skate by with doing nothing by making voluminous but empty contributions (Leafsnail immediately comes to mind).
Sorry I just don't feel like playing man.
You don't feel like playing? Do you feel like hanging, then, ToonyMan?
My vote stays on you until you feel like playing enough to at least answer my questions.
Toonyman is not in the game.
Ok, I'm not sure I understand exactly what buddying is. When I asked webadict why he voted toaster, that's buddying, but defending isn't? I'm confused.
Could be, could be. I have been aggressive towards him, though not necessarily for the right reasons. I'll remember to keep that in mind.

Why are you buddying me?I'm not. I want Org to get up to date and defend his claims (which he isn't doing).
Any chance I could get the source? Been meaning to do something semi-related, but never got around to it. This would be a great starting point. Also to keep you honest ( just in case... :) )Announcing: The LurkerTracker®
Ah, ok, that's what I thought. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding anything because I didn't understand the terms used. It's good to have it written down so I can be sure of what it means.Ok, I'm not sure I understand exactly what buddying is.

What are you more interested in when you ask webadict why he's voting Toaster? Are you trying to make Toaster think highly of you so that he won't suspect you in the future (because you saved him from the nasty webadict), or do you want to know what's going on in webadict's mind?
Buddying is the former. It's done by scum so that townies will ignore them as they go on in the game. Sometimes it's really hard to detect, but usually it's pretty obvious. If you want to see an example of really horrible, mindnumbingly obvious buddying, go look at all if Jetsquirrel's posts in Sorcerer's Apprentice Mafia.
Saying another person is town isn't automatically buddying. Usually you need to examine just what their motives are for doing it.
Yeah, I get that now, that's why I asked about the definition.Why are you buddying me?I'm not. I want Org to get up to date and defend his claims (which he isn't doing).
Can we get a vote count?I'd like one too.
Sure thing -- let me clean it up a bit and add some commments. I wasn't lying when I said my perl is ten years rusty, and it shows... also, a bit of preprocessing is needed due to my feeble regexp-fu. But I'll pretty it up a bit and send you a PM tomorrow or thereabouts (copying Meph to keep us honest). You having it would also help keeping the summaries posted even if I'm killed.Any chance I could get the source? Been meaning to do something semi-related, but never got around to it.

I'm not sure what to think about the output being posted though. Perhaps just post if people haven't been around in a while. Although it's been helpful already. I didn't even know Ottofar was in the game...I'm glad you've found it helpful; I think that posting it would be necessary and the very point, as otherwise it is not effective at smoking out lurkers and letting people know who's where. Unless people object, I'll post a new one every 24 or 48 hours or thereabouts.
Mostly caught up, I'm back on webadict for being cryptic and unhelpful. Web, who from the six lurkiest I mentioned earlier are most likely to be scumlurking, in your opinion?How does this compare to how he normally plays? I've never been in a game with him, but he seems to have a rather legendary ego, and unique playstyle.
While I'm dragging up a few older posts, I feel like pointing out I would of voted SHAD0Wdump yesterday, but I really want to give a Zoologist a chance to grab him first. I still do.Why did you feel the need to phrase this this way? It looks like you're being defensive for something you haven't been accused of.
I do agree that on first look a Zoologist would certaintly pick up SHAD0Wdump, but on second loop there's all sorts of ways that could go wrong. Prime target for a Reporter, plasma bomb, night kill, prolly a few other things.

And I did somewhat, although you are quite correct that I could have done more. Not going to work in another game though, so meh?
And I also wanted to get him talking. He can actually rarely be surprisingly deep if he actually bothers to play. Which he hasn't since then... ORG, where'd you go again?
Counterpoint to JTF's point about stuff going wrong.
Yeah, sure, knock yourself out.Counterpoint to JTF's point about stuff going wrong.
You're arguing against the specific hypothetical examples JTF listed but you're missing the point. It's a bad idea to count on power roles taking care of our problems because things can go wrong. It's not important how. With scum like SHADOWdump it's probably best to just lynch him and let the power roles go do their own thing instead of focus (and likely waste) their efforts dealing with something we could deal with right now.
I'd MUCH rather waste a Zoologist nab than a lynch. I'd also love it if a Vigilante shot SHAD0Wdump the night before lylo. That'd be ideal, really.It would be oh so enlightening.
Right, but I keep jumping between mafia, another game, and a project that I really need to finish to pass a class. Which cuts out a lot of my time I normally spend doing this.Would you rather I rage at the machine and waste some lynches? No. Let's save that for when I have evidence.
If doing nothing to get that evidence works out for you then who cares what I think.
You got this, bro. You got this.
Web: You appear to be dancing around the point of asking me why I'm voting Shadow, so let me summarize for you.While that's definitely possible, I really doubt that he's going to pull off a successful RiA on Day 1. Or ever. I just don't.
His behavior has gone beyond scummy, on past intentionally scummy, way out into "so intentionally scummy that I must not be scum at all!" He's scum trying to pull off Refuge in Audacity, and I'm calling him on it. Once he several votes, he tried to back down off it and try "Sorry about that, I'm being helpful now, see?" Clear sign of RiA scum getting caught in the act and trying to back down off it.

Nah, I just want everyone to unvote SHAD0Wdump. A Zoologist or Vigilante will take care of him, if we have either one of those roles.
Why would a Reporter waste his time trying to find a Zoologist when there's scum to go find? I'd much rather look for the dopps than anything else. Which leads me to my next point; why would the dopps kill SHAD0Wdump? He's really high on a lot of people's lynch lists. And why would an Exterminator blow his Plasma Bomb on SHAD0Wdump? If there just so happens to be a Zoologist and the Zoologist just so happens to decide to grab SHAD0Wdump today AND there just so happens to be an Exterminator who just so happens to get a Plasma Bomb and just so happens to use it on SHAD0Wdump, the Exterminator will kill the Zoologist. Why would the Exterminator (who may not even exist, btw) throw away his large tech slot to get a chance at killing a potentially nonexistant Zoologist who isn't even that big of a deal? It would make a lot more sense for him to save said Plasma Bomb in case he himself gets abducted by the Zoologist.@Webadict: Does NOBODY ELSE see his OBVIOUS AND BLATANT active lurking? He has 9 posts, yet NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY CONTENT AT ALL? Does anybody else notice that his playstyle is totally different this game compared to any of the games he's been town in since ever? Why are people giving him a pass when he's being totally useless? It's like how people treat Org... except this is fucking Webadict! Usually by this point he's drilling somebody to death, yet now he's joking around with Org? This seems really, really off. He's obviously scum and it seems like nobody else but Zathras even cares, and Zathreas doesn't even seem to be that serious.That's not true. I'm contributing less than normal, but I'm not contributing nothing. Not only that, but I don't have time to drill someone to death right now. By Tuesday, I should have significantly more time.
If you care to wait, that is. It also doesn't help that there's 15 other people posting at once.I've only played one full game with him; I replaced into another he was in after he died, and he replaced in one of mine after I died, so I've seen him a bit. His ego and playstyle are indeed unique and legendary, but he's seldom this useless. He tends to be far more verbose, has incisive questions, and will badger and badger on people until he has received answers to his satisfaction.*sigh* Later, okay?
That he's now dicking around with his +5 sword of uselessness tells me he isn't playing his normal town game, which means he's scum. I wouldn't mind it one bit if he hangs today, and I think it would be a vastly more useful lynch than Shadowdump, even if they are both scum. Wuba with scum night actions is scary.Mostly caught up, I'm back on webadict for being cryptic and unhelpful. Web, who from the six lurkiest I mentioned earlier are most likely to be scumlurking, in your opinion?I'd say Ottofar and Eduren. Having only 1 post is unacceptable. I mean, I'm trying to do the bare minimum and I've got 11 posts. What's that say about them?

got swamped by work, i'm still there and ill have more time to post tonight and tommorow. Ill do a big one tonight.
If no one else will I can replace if you guys don't mind a slight lack of experience, just reading through round 16, halfway done, then I can read through this topic.
Seriously, posting three words a day is going to get you killed no matter what. It makes you look like you're hiding something.Because I am. I would be hiding my 24/7 scummy attitude.
Kamina. This one here. It's a post to look less scummy. Which in itself is scummy.And a policy lynch doesn't make the day any shorter.Not timewise, but it makes us short town. Scum should be lynched, not town, no matter how stupid. That is the point of town.
Unvote.
Vote JanusTwoface.

Whyyy are you voting for JTF? You were just explaining away his actions a minute ago.
I'm done being wishy-washy, as you pointed out I was. Are you seriously suggesting I would be so stupid as to bus my scumbuddy this early just because of a small accusation?
Goddamn, I'm not that stupid.

He's scum trying to pull off Refuge in Audacity, and I'm calling him on it. Once he several votes, he tried to back down off it and try "Sorry about that, I'm being helpful now, see?" Clear sign of RiA scum getting caught in the act and trying to back down off it.
I'd like to point out here that Webadict has only posted about himself. Usually by now Webadict would be grilling some poor target to death, yet here he's not even asking any questions. It's not like there's a lack of targets, either.@Webadict: Does NOBODY ELSE see his OBVIOUS AND BLATANT active lurking? He has 9 posts, yet NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY CONTENT AT ALL? Does anybody else notice that his playstyle is totally different this game compared to any of the games he's been town in since ever? Why are people giving him a pass when he's being totally useless? It's like how people treat Org... except this is fucking Webadict! Usually by this point he's drilling somebody to death, yet now he's joking around with Org? This seems really, really off. He's obviously scum and it seems like nobody else but Zathras even cares, and Zathreas doesn't even seem to be that serious.That's not true. I'm contributing less than normal, but I'm not contributing nothing. Not only that, but I don't have time to drill someone to death right now. By Tuesday, I should have significantly more time.
If you care to wait, that is. It also doesn't help that there's 15 other people posting at once.
Mostly caught up, I'm back on webadict for being cryptic and unhelpful. Web, who from the six lurkiest I mentioned earlier are most likely to be scumlurking, in your opinion?I'd say Ottofar and Eduren. Having only 1 post is unacceptable. I mean, I'm trying to do the bare minimum and I've got 11 posts. What's that say about them?
Otto, would you care to copy Leafsnail any more? Even his arguments weren't original.Just noticed you weren't lurking, it was a blizzard hitting your electricity. Though, other than the lurking bit, my point still stands.
It looks to me like you waltzed in here to avoid getting attacked for lurking, and decided to make a safe vote, and leave without actually doing anything.
Please contribute.
WIFOM? From Webadict? I'd never thought I'd see the day.Sometimes I wonder if everything anyone does in this game counts as WIFOM. And if you say no, then it probably is in another person's point of view.
I've only played one full game with him; I replaced into another he was in after he died, and he replaced in one of mine after I died, so I've seen him a bit. His ego and playstyle are indeed unique and legendary, but he's seldom this useless. He tends to be far more verbose, has incisive questions, and will badger and badger on people until he has received answers to his satisfaction.Actually he has two modes. He's in passive/mostly useless mode right now. If all goes as normal, he'll switch into crazy mode shortly.
That he's now dicking around with his +5 sword of uselessness tells me he isn't playing his normal town game, which means he's scum. I wouldn't mind it one bit if he hangs today, and I think it would be a vastly more useful lynch than Shadowdump, even if they are both scum. Wuba with scum night actions is scary.
Why would a Reporter waste his time trying to find a Zoologist when there's scum to go find?Because the Reporter could cut a deal with the Zoologist. Helpful for both.
Why would the Exterminator (who may not even exist, btw) throw away his large tech slot to get a chance at killing a potentially nonexistant Zoologist who isn't even that big of a deal?The point is that if SHAD0Wdump attracts enough attention, the Plasma Bomb will do a lot more damage.
If no one else will I can replace if you guys don't mind a slight lack of experience, just reading through round 16, halfway done, then I can read through this topic.So far as me, go for it. The biggest thing is to be active. The second is if you do scummy things, keep trying and don't give up. But that's just me, Meph has the final call.
got swamped by work, i'm still there and ill have more time to post tonight and tommorow. Ill do a big one tonight.Tonight is the final day. Ask for an extention if you don't have time, make sure you use it. Otherwise it's lurking -> scummy.
Ooh, I just can't wait to see people's reactions when I go stiff.No. The problem is that you aren't trying to fix your game. If you're trying, you'll get more slack.
But yeah, this is a particular reason I don't tend to play mafia, it just doesn't work. However if I had restrained myself to the three a day thing I might have been able to survive... actually probably not, you'd all probably turn rampant anyway.
I might consider trying another game while more strictly retaining myself to three words max per post, because otherwise it ends up in everyone going ballistic and lynching me. I mean, gotta try something right?
I like how the game is active.I don't like how you're not.
My list'd go something like: Kamina
SHAD0W
Perhaps JTF.
Damn, I'll try to do a bit better post tomorrow.The day ends tonight. If you're going to need more time, request an extension and use it. Same as Mysteriousbluepuppet above. Otherwise, scummy.
Aah, but there's no chance we're worse off, right? Worst case scenario, we just lynch him tomorrow. It's not like we have to lynch him today, we're more than capable of lynching him tomorrow.But will we? This is how Org surives to the end in games where he's less productive.
I'm not bandwagoning Webadict. He's up to something, and it stinks worse than I do.
Day 1 Ends ~5pm Pacific Today
I say we haven't made nearly enough progress, hell, there's people that have posted only once or twice, for fuck's sake... I also think the current consensus around a Shadowdump lynch, while understandable, is less than optimal -- there are worthier targets.
Therefore, I request an extension.
Yes, these have been pointed out. I'll remove my vote when I've seen more original contributions, rather than just attacking an me, an easy target.I can't help it if scum is an easy target.
But I'm still suspicious of Leafsnail. He pops in to say nothing but that I was acting awfully scummy, and nothing else? My acting scummy has already been established. Seems like he's being less-than-useful. My vote doesn't come off until better contributions from him.So... you're admitting you did scummy things that make you scum, and are making no attempts to deny them. Nor are you refuting any of my points.
Mysteriousbluepuppet and Ottofar, you've received a stay of lurkitude. Use it.I'm actually very, very impressed by this post. It takes up the entire screen, but it doesn't once accuse ANYONE of being scum. At all. Sure, it makes an extremely vague attack on Ottofar for throwaway reasons, but your two FoS's go to lurkers and your vote is done based on policy. I'd like to give you an award for most waffly, useless, active lurking post, JanusTwoFace.
SHAD0Wdump, you have a chance to prove yourself useful. If you have anything that would make it more costly than helpful to lynch us, now would be a good time to share it. Or even to delay your lynch until tomorrow. With all the crap you've been spewing, it is going to have to be awesome.
No. They don't make me scum. They make me look like scum, sure. How am I supposed to refute that something makes me look scummy when it does?But I'm still suspicious of Leafsnail. He pops in to say nothing but that I was acting awfully scummy, and nothing else? My acting scummy has already been established. Seems like he's being less-than-useful. My vote doesn't come off until better contributions from him.So... you're admitting you did scummy things that make you scum, and are making no attempts to deny them. Nor are you refuting any of my points.
You're just saying I'm scum for pointing our your alignment. Uh, right. Whatever.
My argument about your ridiculously panicky and inconsistent reaction (in which you make a series of irrelevant and contradictory statements) is both original and valid. You've realised your actions are indefensible, so instead you've just decided to attack anyone who votes you. This is not a townie thing to do, and your flailing is looking more classically noobscum by the post.
No. They don't make me scum. They make me look like scum, sure. How am I supposed to refute that something makes me look scummy when it does?The sheer logical contortion in this paragraph greatly amuses me.
Your arguments aren't original. I'm quite sure everyone has noticed those points by the time you posted them."And for saying that I'm scum for reasons I aknowledge are correct, you're scum!"
I'm not taking issue with you voting me. I don't like it, but it doesn't make you scummy. However, lurking and then only pointing out obvious points, and almost nothing else, does.I will point out obvious scum until they die, thank you very much.
You're trying to dismiss my argument by saying that I'm just 'flailing'. Maybe you should address my actual point instead of making a strawman by putting words in mouth.The thing is, there's no actual point to your argument.
You've admitted that you look like scum, and you can't deny that you look like scum. In other words, you're expecting me to take on trust that you aren't scum.I expect you to determine my scummyness from a combination of my past actions and my present ones. I intend to show I'm not scum. If you don't believe I can redeem myself, then by all means keep tunneling me.
Have you completed at least one other mafia game? A Beginners, perhaps? If so I'll let you join.Yeah, a couple of games on another forum, plus I've read some games on this forum.
Person:While I'm dragging up a few older posts, I feel like pointing out I would of voted SHAD0Wdump yesterday, but I really want to give a Zoologist a chance to grab him first. I still do.Why did you feel the need to phrase this this way? It looks like you're being defensive for something you haven't been accused of.
I do agree that on first look a Zoologist would certaintly pick up SHAD0Wdump, but on second loop there's all sorts of ways that could go wrong. Prime target for a Reporter, plasma bomb, night kill, prolly a few other things.
Nah, I just want everyone to unvote SHAD0Wdump. A Zoologist or Vigilante will take care of him, if we have either one of those roles.
Let's assume he's not lynched and survives to D2, and no one comes forward with information about him. What do we do then? All it does is postpone the problem. I say let's solve it now- otherwise we end up with more of...
Aah, but there's no chance we're worse off, right? Worst case scenario, we just lynch him tomorrow. It's not like we have to lynch him today, we're more than capable of lynching him tomorrow.
No, man. You need to show an attitude of achievement. You want the town to succeed. Hiding it behind made up post restrictions will only make you a policy lynch. You'll be a detriment to your team no matter what it is.Seriously, posting three words a day is going to get you killed no matter what. It makes you look like you're hiding something.Because I am. I would be hiding my 24/7 scummy attitude.
That's me evaluating his ability. That's not WIFOM. My opinion is neither fact nor being forced onto others.WIFOM? From Webadict? I'd never thought I'd see the day.Web: You appear to be dancing around the point of asking me why I'm voting Shadow, so let me summarize for you.While that's definitely possible, I really doubt that he's going to pull off a successful RiA on Day 1. Or ever. I just don't.
His behavior has gone beyond scummy, on past intentionally scummy, way out into "so intentionally scummy that I must not be scum at all!" He's scum trying to pull off Refuge in Audacity, and I'm calling him on it. Once he several votes, he tried to back down off it and try "Sorry about that, I'm being helpful now, see?" Clear sign of RiA scum getting caught in the act and trying to back down off it.
So what IS SHAD0Wdump doing, then?Yeah, sorry. I haven't had time to evaluate posts on a case by case basis. There's too many people to even make a small attack right now or get a head about the situation. But, if I get to Tuesday, I promise I'll have a good reading.I'd like to point out here that Webadict has only posted about himself. Usually by now Webadict would be grilling some poor target to death, yet here he's not even asking any questions. It's not like there's a lack of targets, either.@Webadict: Does NOBODY ELSE see his OBVIOUS AND BLATANT active lurking? He has 9 posts, yet NONE OF THEM HAVE ANY CONTENT AT ALL? Does anybody else notice that his playstyle is totally different this game compared to any of the games he's been town in since ever? Why are people giving him a pass when he's being totally useless? It's like how people treat Org... except this is fucking Webadict! Usually by this point he's drilling somebody to death, yet now he's joking around with Org? This seems really, really off. He's obviously scum and it seems like nobody else but Zathras even cares, and Zathreas doesn't even seem to be that serious.That's not true. I'm contributing less than normal, but I'm not contributing nothing. Not only that, but I don't have time to drill someone to death right now. By Tuesday, I should have significantly more time.
If you care to wait, that is. It also doesn't help that there's 15 other people posting at once.
Were you reading what I was responding to? I was asked who was likely scumlurking. I gave my opinion. I honestly see nothing wrong with my answer. Sure, they're lurking. But, they've posted once. Once. Your point doesn't make any sense.Mostly caught up, I'm back on webadict for being cryptic and unhelpful. Web, who from the six lurkiest I mentioned earlier are most likely to be scumlurking, in your opinion?I'd say Ottofar and Eduren. Having only 1 post is unacceptable. I mean, I'm trying to do the bare minimum and I've got 11 posts. What's that say about them?
Deflection. No vote at all. Laziness. Wow, this post is super-duper scummy.
Lurkers? Really? That's it? There's nothing else odd going one? KaminaSquirtle hasn't done anything scummy? Janus's Org-policy-lynch didn't ring any warning bells from you? Not even any questions for anyone? I know what attacking lurkers is, it's a last-ditch effort to look useful when you're not actually doing anything. And of course you actually pose no questions for the lurkers, so there's no reason for your useless blue text to actually change the fact they're lurking.
Thank you. If I'm not here by the time I promise, feel free to push me on it everyone. I'm sorry, and I'm trying to at least contribute a minimum amount.I'm not bandwagoning Webadict. He's up to something, and it stinks worse than I do.
Coward. It's pretty terrible when claimed scum can't put their money where their mouth is.
How does what webadict's doing stink worse than what you're doing?
To everybody trying to lynch webadict: How about we not try to get him lynched for lurking. If he says he's busy I don't really have any reason to doubt him, because stuff happens, it takes time away from games. We can only hold one person accountable for lurking today, and is webadict really the worst example out there? There are people out there without excuses for their lurking, and you're going to hold webadict's ass to the fire for stupid meta shit? That's dumb.
What, SHADOW.He may have had an excuse for lurking then, but not now. This has been his only real post so far, and he uses it to Org it up? JTF pointed this out first:
First of all, Unvote Zathras.Kamina. This one here. It's a post to look less scummy. Which in itself is scummy.And a policy lynch doesn't make the day any shorter.Not timewise, but it makes us short town. Scum should be lynched, not town, no matter how stupid. That is the point of town.
Unvote.
Vote JanusTwoface.WIFOM here.It's a shame, I was about to extend you some noob slack but then you go and do something violently reactionary like this.Because I was thinking in the context of BM. What he's doing seems different now. I understand it from a new perspective. He's suggesting a lynch simply because of a player's rep, with no regards to losing a chance to lynch scum. I can unvote whenever the hell I want. I want answers out of the fucker.
Whyyy are you voting for JTF? You were just explaining away his actions a minute ago.
I'm done being wishy-washy, as you pointed out I was. Are you seriously suggesting I would be so stupid as to bus my scumbuddy this early just because of a small accusation?
Goddamn, I'm not that stupid.
Yeah, I've been lurking because there were certain technical difficulties. Having electricity go on and off pretty randomly, that is.
I like how the game is active.
My list'd go something like: Kamina
SHAD0W
Perhaps JTF.
Damn, I'll try to do a bit better post tomorrow.
And I'm inclined to agree. He's just parroting Org, and Leafsnail a bit too. He's done no thinking at all thus far. This post is enough to earn some blue text. Ottofar.I like how the game is active.I don't like how you're not.
My list'd go something like: Kamina
SHAD0W
Perhaps JTF.
Your list is the exact same as Org's, which is the exact same as people have been saying for a while now. Nothing new and no reasoning given. Scummy.
Kamina: If you want to convince us you're not scum, do it by negation. Show us someone else who is scum. Right now, you're #2 scum in my book.This better, Toaster?
You're doing a poor job of scum hunting now. You voted Leafsnail for lurking (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1704497#msg1704497), then when he came back and posted, you changed your reason (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1706795#msg1706795) for voting him... to because he voted you for acting scummy? Try harder than that.
Mish: Thanks for replacing in. After you get done reviewing the thread and posting your observation, I'd also like to know the most important lesson you've learned in your previous games.Writing up my read on everyone in the game so far, but in the meantime I'll answer your question:
Whoops, since someone said extension I assumed it was going to end soon. What does everyone else think about an extension to Monday? If you think it would be helpful...
To everybody trying to lynch webadict: How about we not try to get him lynched for lurking.Can we lynch him because of his ego? :) (that was sarcasm for anyone that missed it)
I'm actually very, very impressed by this post. It takes up the entire screen, but it doesn't once accuse ANYONE of being scum. At all. Sure, it makes an extremely vague attack on Ottofar for throwaway reasons, but your two FoS's go to lurkers and your vote is done based on policy. I'd like to give you an award for most waffly, useless, active lurking post, JanusTwoFace.Why, thank you. I try.
So... you're admitting you did scummy things that make you scum, and are making no attempts to deny them. Nor are you refuting any of my points.Even if you think you are being scummy, calling yourself out on it is never helpful... :-\
Your arguments aren't original. I'm quite sure everyone has noticed those points by the time you posted them.What's funny about this is that your attack here isn't original either. People have already been pointing out a number of people's copied attacks, including Leafsnail's IIRC.
And again, if I get scum lynched today, that's all that really matters. I guess I could poke vague attacks and questions at twelve different people à la Janus, but then my attacks cease to have any real weight.Or you could attack no one with any real weight. I'm sure that'll work...
Whoops, since someone said extension I assumed it was going to end soon. What does everyone else think about an extension to Monday? If you think it would be helpful...Don't think it will actually get more activity. Weekends tend to die down a fair bit. Better to have the nights fall over weekends if we can.
The WhiteboardThis bothers me. Kamina is being voted by Org (With his reputation for being useless. He was doing better for a bit, but not so much anymore). Ottofar (With one post which added just copied Org for crying out loud). SHAD0Wdump (scumpie a la mode, and unapologetic about it). Leafsnail (Probably the best player of the bunch, which is scary).
KaminaSquirtle: Leafsnail, Org, Ottofar, SHAD0Wdump
SHAD0Wdump: Criptfeind, JanusTwoface, Jim Groovester, Pandarsenic, Toaster
From this list, I feel I must prod ToonyMan, Ottofar & Eduren. Dudes! Come out here and play, or you'll be hanged for lurking. No excuses! Please answer: what are your opinions of the game so far, why have you been lurking, and who are your top scumpicks.Like I said in my other post, I prefer the lynch all WIFOMers policy. However, this becomes harder to defend when lynching an SS has some detriment to town. In a normal WIFOM situation, a lynch can be easily used on them because the only negative consequence is a wasted lynch. I'm not sure if I want to call for SHADOW's head yet, but maybe after some more questioning.
Ooh, I just can't wait to see people's reactions when I go stiff.Why the hell can't you play a normal game? You can't be that bad. As town its not that hard to be helpful, and it is very anti-town to be so hell-bent on survival. If you truly are town (or any alignment for that matter), then I suggest joining the DMA mafia, it is really designed for people like you to build some skills.
But yeah, this is a particular reason I don't tend to play mafia, it just doesn't work. However if I had restrained myself to the three a day thing I might have been able to survive... actually probably not, you'd all probably turn rampant anyway.
I might consider trying another game while more strictly retaining myself to three words max per post, because otherwise it ends up in everyone going ballistic and lynching me. I mean, gotta try something right?
I haven't been ignoring him though; I told him to bandwagon webadict at his own question to see if he would follow through with it, the idea being that he would reveal who his scumbuddies were by who he was and was not willing to lynch. The coward didn't of course, and I asked him why. He ignored me. Whatever.I was sleeping.
Then why'd you ask to bandwagon him, scumthroat?It was a joke, lighten up...
Then why'd you ask to bandwagon him, scumthroat?It was a joke, lighten up...
When Zathras asked me what my scumpicks were I listed SHADOWdump straight at the top. Deliberate WIFOM and an implicit scum claim beat out normal scum play any day. I waited to vote for him because I was wrangling with whether or not it was a good idea to lynch him. What Pandarsenic said convinced me to go ahead and cast my vote.I suppose that's sufficient. Unvote. A parting question though: Are either Zathras or SHADOW redeemable in your eyes? Or are you totally convinced?
If you want an explicit statement of my reasons for voting him, I'll gladly give them to you. I voted SHADOWdump because I was certain he was scum of some sort, but the question remained whether or not lynching him was a good idea. Ultimately, even if SHADOWdump is a Spore Spreader, the town doesn't lose all that much with his lynch and has a pretty good chance of catching some other kind of scum that tried to do some kind of fake claim. (He hasn't actually claimed Spore Spreader, but he went along with it so that's good enough for me.) I'd rather not wait for power roles that may or may not be in the game to deal with him when he could be dealt with right now.
If it appears I suspect Zathras more than SHADOWdump, that's only because I'm pretty damn certain about SHADOWdump and I'm trying to work at Zathras. Since I'm trying to get something out of Zathras, I'm going to have to talk more about him, and the level of hostility and suspicion is just going to increase the more he doesn't respond to me.
On the other hand, there's barely anything to talk about with SHADOWdump. It's pretty cut and dry, and he's not really talking and anything he says can't be trusted, so I'm not really expending too much effort trying to get him to squeal. I haven't been ignoring him though; I told him to bandwagon webadict at his own question to see if he would follow through with it, the idea being that he would reveal who his scumbuddies were by who he was and was not willing to lynch. The coward didn't of course, and I asked him why. He ignored me. Whatever.
Does that answer your questions? Probably a bit more verbose reply than necessary, but I seem to be typing up several paragraphs every once in a while in this game anyway.
JTF raised my suspicion beforehand, and other peoples,
Because that would of been how he knew he needed a backup.
"a backup" or "to back up"?Worded it wrong. Maybe this would be better:
Because that would of been how he knew he needed a way to look like a townie.
I assume English isn't your first language?No, I just fail at anything that isn't maths or science.
Zathras: You started off with a random vote, after this you had a pretty good post, you prodded a lurker and asked some questions and didn't really do anything too scummy, really you haven't done the best scumhunting in the thread (probably due to the lurkers) but still low on my scum list, the reason for this is (I think, I'm not the best or most experienced at mafia, so please correct me) you are too preoccupied by data, we can win this game with good ol' fashioned scumhunting, relying on data will just get us picked off day after day.Your description seems very confusing.
JanusTwoface: Wanted a policy lynch, went on about that and not much else except for defence, then you just stopped when criptfeind attacked you for it. Then you went on to prod a lurker, great but still just as likely to be scum cleaning his hands. After this you defended yourself somemore, you're attacks seem weak and just gentle jabs to make it look like you're scumhunting. Not so sure about you.
Toaster: Haven't posted much, but everything you have posted has been content, low on the scum list.
Jim Groovester: Scumhunting, nothing much more to say, looking town especially since he hasn't taken the opportunity of not being attacked to sink into the shadows
Org: Wow, very... blunt style of playing the game, people seem to be familiar with it, is that your normal play?
Pandarsenic: Not enough to get a read on.
Mr.Person: Has only attacked JTF, no good read yet.
webadict: Not enough to get a read on, but if he deserves the fame I hear about then surely he is better than this?
Ottofar: Not enough to get a read on.
SHAD0Wdump: Wow. Not sure what to do yet, I'll have my opinion by the end of the day.
Mysteriousbluepuppet: Not enough to get a read on.
Eduren: Posted once... PREEDIT: seems he has posted since I wrote this
Criptfeind: Attacking, doesn't seem too scummy
I'll write more in a minute.
[Long post snipped]
This better, Toaster?
Does that answer your questions? Probably a bit more verbose reply than necessary, but I seem to be typing up several paragraphs every once in a while in this game anyway.I suppose that's sufficient. Unvote. A parting question though: Are either Zathras or SHADOW redeemable in your eyes? Or are you totally convinced?
Hell no for SHADOWdump. You can't deliberately act like scum and expect to get away with it.Alright you know what, if people are going to have that sort of attitude, this is not a game I'm going to want to be playing.
Don't give me that crap. You knew what you were doing. When you say shit like this (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1703676#msg1703676) I pretty much have to lynch you.I won't, because I'm not putting up with your shit either.
Protip: Don't do shit like that again.
You talk about policy lynches way too much man. And this is a role heavy game in particular. You could be frying good town roles with this attitude.This is Mafia. If you want to depend solely on power roles, play some other forum game. And same as I said to Org earlier, *everyone* is likely to have a power role thus we don't actually lose more by killing one player or another.
Now, you could be just honestly too holed up in this crusade-ish playstyle to care about that. But if that is not the case you are making a scum play that can hide your true intention of getting off easy town lynches under this guise.
I can only see such 'policy lynches' and meta game being harmful to this whole thing, so for the sake of meta, hypocrisy, and hopefully redemption I'm changing my vote Janus.
Stop ruining the game. Yes, I'm kinda ruining the game, but I'll count this as a lesson learned. Meanwhile I think I'll launch a crusade against you.
Hey Janus, did you see a chain? Or the other way around?What does this mean?
I honestly don't know, its hard for me to form suspicions if I'm not part of the conversation, which is what I plan on doing before the day ends.You have about 6 hours left. How's that going for you? Busy, I understand. But if you say you're going to post within a given timeframe, you should post within that given timeframe.
... loads of stuff on everyone ...Is that in any way ordered? Because it looks like a lot of content, but not much of it is new (which gets harder to do as the game goes on, I realize) and not much of it actually does anything.
JanusTwoface: Wanted a policy lynch, went on about that and not much else except for defence, then you just stopped when criptfeind attacked you for it. Then you went on to prod a lurker, great but still just as likely to be scum cleaning his hands. After this you defended yourself somemore, you're attacks seem weak and just gentle jabs to make it look like you're scumhunting. Not so sure about you.Go back and reread why I did the first. For the second, there are far too many lurkers who get away with it on this board, thus the PSA a bit ago also. For the last, I think you're wrong. I've gone into with others before and never seem able to convince them. :-\
Your description seems very confusing.Oh hey, you are around. Remember two days ago (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1706050#msg1706050) where you said 'Im [sic] still reading'. And this is all you come up with? I don't think you're actually still reading. I think you're lurking.
You say blunt. How?
And yes, i play like this.
Do you really want to play a game of mafia where people can act like scum and get away with it?Hell no for SHADOWdump. You can't deliberately act like scum and expect to get away with it.Alright you know what, if people are going to have that sort of attitude, this is not a game I'm going to want to be playing.
Right, but I keep jumping between mafia, another game, and a project that I really need to finish to pass a class. Which cuts out a lot of my time I normally spend doing this. [...] *sigh* Later, okay?
I'd like to point out here that Webadict has only posted about himself. Usually by now Webadict would be grilling some poor target to death, yet here he's not even asking any questions. It's not like there's a lack of targets, either.
Nah, I just want everyone to unvote SHAD0Wdump. A Zoologist or Vigilante will take care of him, if we have either one of those roles.
got swamped by work, i'm still there and ill have more time to post tonight and tommorow. Ill do a big one tonight.
Yeah, I've been lurking because there were certain technical difficulties. Having electricity go on and off pretty randomly, that is.
Lurkers? Really? That's it? There's nothing else odd going one? KaminaSquirtle hasn't done anything scummy? Janus's Org-policy-lynch didn't ring any warning bells from you? Not even any questions for anyone? I know what attacking lurkers is, it's a last-ditch effort to look useful when you're not actually doing anything.
I think you're scum, Zathras. You're not stirring any shit up and it's bugging me. [...] Also, yeah, Zathras is totally scum. Every other game I've seen him he's practically jumping all oever everybody for anything and in this game he's had all day to respond to my accusation and he can't be bothered? Evasive dude is scum.(And others along these lines). I've been busy, dude, I'm catching up. But even what I had said up to that point is not as useless as you let on, is it? I've stirred shit up when I see it stir-worthy, and as I said earlier, I see lurker stirring as a particularly important part of that in a large game. It was their cloaking under the traffic that motivated me to find a way to light them up.
Your current actions aren't any better than your past ones, though. That's the thing.(That was about Kamina). I disagree, he did drop several tells earlier, but has mended his ways and made a seemingly honest effort to hunt. Your fixation on him with circumstancial/flimsy evidence (on his current behaviour, the earlier was justified) sounds hollow to me and a screen to avoid doing something else. On top of this:
The Whiteboard
KaminaSquirtle: Leafsnail, Org, Ottofar, SHAD0Wdump
Zathras: You started off with a random vote, after this you had a pretty good post, you prodded a lurker and asked some questions and didn't really do anything too scummy, really you haven't done the best scumhunting in the thread (probably due to the lurkers) but still low on my scum list, the reason for this is (I think, I'm not the best or most experienced at mafia, so please correct me) you are too preoccupied by data, we can win this game with good ol' fashioned scumhunting, relying on data will just get us picked off day after day.First, as others said, thank you for jumping in and making an honest effort to catch up. This is a complex game, but I have high hopes for you. About your point, at the end of the day, data is all we have. Some data are hard and trustworthy, other are circumstantial or gut-induced, but it's all data, and it all adds in some way to building a case on people. One needs to get them talking so we can learn to read them. Scumhunting and data are not opposite, one is a source for the other.
Webadict:... What?Right, but I keep jumping between mafia, another game, and a project that I really need to finish to pass a class. Which cuts out a lot of my time I normally spend doing this. [...] *sigh* Later, okay?
I don't buy this. Yes, I can buy that you're busy; I don't buy that whatever limited time you've been able to dedicate to the game has been wasted with useless quips about your +5 sword and basically talking about the weather. This Person quote is correct:Quote from: Mr.PersonI'd like to point out here that Webadict has only posted about himself. Usually by now Webadict would be grilling some poor target to death, yet here he's not even asking any questions. It's not like there's a lack of targets, either.
But there have been some exceptions, like:Nah, I just want everyone to unvote SHAD0Wdump. A Zoologist or Vigilante will take care of him, if we have either one of those roles.
This. That sums up my misgivings about a Shadowdump lynch. Sure, he's scummy, but too noobscum for us to be certain, and would waste our lynch in someone that would probably not be alive the next day anyway. But it's probably too late to change that now.
Still, Wuba is not asking questions, which to me reads anathema to Town Wuba, busy or not.
...
My vote remains on webadict, for the reasons at the top of this post; I'm OK with a Shadowdump lynch if that's what people want, but it still feels like a waste. I understand why people don't want to extend, and I'm OK with that too.
My top picks: Webadict, Criptfeind, Leafsnail, Shadowdump, MBP;
My medium-scummy picks: Org, Toaster, Pandar, Ottofar.
Lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers!

This was not addressed to me, but I'll field it: Yes, lurkers. Attacking lurkers is not a last ditch anything. It's an important part of maintaining activity, getting a read on everybody, reminding town that lurking hurts town, and denying scum lurking as a strategy. It is useful and valuable. But yes, you must ask questions of them (which Wuba didn't, therefore scummy) for it to work.
Sorry about that, your post did have botched quotes and I guess I figured them out wrong. But see below.Webadict:... What? One of those quotes isn't mine. It was from a botched quote from Mr.Person.Right, but I keep jumping between mafia, another game, and a project that I really need to finish to pass a class.

So, what am I supposed to do? Would you rather I gave up on school for a game where I'll probably be killed in tonight anyhow? [...] so you can be satisfied lynching me because of what little evidence you gather on your own and my ego, which is probably the main reason you're voting me anyhow.Nah, you probably won't hang today, thanks to people's fixation with Shadowdump. I still think hanging you is a better idea, but it'll be as the majority decides. As for why I'm voting you, it's not because you've been busy, or because of your ego, but because you haven't been asking anybody questions. What little I know of your style, you basically do only two things when town: a) ask questions, relentlessly; and b) give orders, telling people what to do and how to do it (with good reason, most of the time).
Leafsnail:It almost feels like you're tying to buddy me here. You reiterate points made in the past by others, but to what end? What do you intend to get out of it, Zathras?Your current actions aren't any better than your past ones, though. That's the thing.(That was about Kamina).

On top of this:The Whiteboard
KaminaSquirtle: Leafsnail, Org, Ottofar, SHAD0Wdump
Janus pointed this out earlier; I noticed it but couldn't post at the time. I find this very telling. A wagon on Kamina seems unwarranted, and all that vote him are guilty of one or another town-unfriendly infraction. It seems to much like scum trying to get rid of a useful player. After this was pointed out, Shadow unvoted him, which in my opinion only adds to the case against him.

Why so neutral about most things?
Not buddying: assessing. Your early game was scummy, and you were rightfully called for it. You later posted useful hunting, which redeemed some past misdeed in my eyes, but I find Leafsnail's insistence on you to be insufficiently justified, and therefore scummy (when added to his other behaviour). I explicitly don't buddy you or call you town; you're inexperienced, so I cut you some slack for that on your earlier behaviour, but your getting better could be getting better as town, or getting better as scum acting town. The second would be less improbable if you're getting good advice via scumchat, so you're still suspect in my eyes, but not as far up the list as the half-dozen others I point out.Leafsnail:It almost feels like you're tying to buddy me here.

Not "a lot of things". Two things: I'm OK with lynching Shadow because he's scummy enough to have earned it, I just think that we're letting stronger targets go by focusing on the low-hanging fruit. I'm also OK with not extending, as it would be better if night happens over the weekend rather than low-traffic discussion for three days, then locking for a day or two for night. Faster games are funner games, in my opinion. Strong opinions on other matters? Mostly because I've been busy, so I've only been able to focus on a couple, and in larger games one tends to grab onto a couple of threads and pull strongly on them, rather than spread oneself too thin. That said, I have scum suspicions on Toaster and Pandar, mostly due to their laying-low game so far, but I've been unable to dig deeper as of yet.My vote remains on webadict, for the reasons at the top of this post; I'm OK with a Shadowdump lynch if that's what people want, but it still feels like a waste.

This better, Toaster?For that line alone, no.
More seriously, you're wrong. The commentary on Webadict's playstyle points towards him being scummy or busy (right now, probably the latter; you're correct that it's not stated explicitly).This actually made me laugh out loud. You won't even make an accusation when you're trying to deny that you aren't making any accusation.
The comments back to Mr.Person are calling anyone scum, but are directly pertinent to SHAD0Wdump's impending lynch. The point on Ottofar was for more than lurking, what little he has is copying Org of all people.And yet you made no accusation with either of these. You don't particularly think SHADOWdump is scum - it's just a policylynch. And yeah, I aknowledged that you made a tiny little point about Ottofar that everyone will forget and which you will never talk about again.
And that wasn't my vote on SHAD0Wdump. I was voting him long before that. That was a continuation of the same vote in contrast to the blue. So that's not even a good point. And because he's scummy. If it's not a policy to lynch people that are being scummy, you and I are playing vastly different games.
SHAD0Wdump, you have a chance to prove yourself useful. If you have anything that would make it more costly than helpful to lynch us, now would be a good time to share it. Or even to delay your lynch until tomorrow. With all the crap you've been spewing, it is going to have to be awesome.This is NOT the vote of someone voting someone for being scum. This is most certainly a policylynch.
Misattributed. And did you mean to post this in the scumchat or something? It makes no sense.So... you're admitting you did scummy things that make you scum, and are making no attempts to deny them. Nor are you refuting any of my points.Even if you think you are being scummy, calling yourself out on it is never helpful... :-\
Or you could attack no one with any real weight. I'm sure that'll work...Yeah, I could. But that's not how I go.
This bothers me. Kamina is being voted by Org (With his reputation for being useless. He was doing better for a bit, but not so much anymore). Ottofar (With one post which added just copied Org for crying out loud). SHAD0Wdump (scumpie a la mode, and unapologetic about it). Leafsnail (Probably the best player of the bunch, which is scary).Doesn't really say anything. The ability of a player is independant from their chance of being scum.

Zath. Why am I on your scum list, even if only medium?
PPE: Pandar, how auspicious of you to show up as I'm thinking of you. To answer your question: yes, I do. I think lurking kills games and hurts town, so I feel justified. We've had this discussion elsewhere, so you should know my feelings on it, yes? So why do you ask? Do you think I am misguided and should change my opinion, or are you just looking for a non-threatening non-Pandar topic of conversation to not seem lurky yet avoiding actual scumhunting?
Nope, just wanted to see your answer. I find it satisfactory. But now, a different question:
Do you think you'll catch scum lurking? Are you attempting to galvanize lurky town into action? Some combination thereof? Something else entirely?
Lame reason is lame.Zath. Why am I on your scum list, even if only medium?
Mostly because I can't read you, so I think you scummy as default unless I have reasons to think otherwise. You have been more helpful than usual, even posting paragraphs at a time, which is great, but it adds to my confusion, as you're not being usual Org (neither usual Town Org nor usual Scum Org).
...so I guess you're on my list because you confuse me. Not precisely an overwhelming case, but that's why you're on the "medium" section, and not the "top picks" section. But regardless of alignment, I like this Org better than what I've seen in other games.
O really?This better, Toaster?For that line alone, no.
Really? I guess I can't complain about being low on your list, but I don't like how everything you post is so... how can put it? It's like you're trying to keep everyone happy or something. And that seems like you're more interested in that than scumhunting.Not buddying: assessing. Your early game was scummy, and you were rightfully called for it.

I would like to see these suspicions followed up by pressure. Saying you're going to do something is great and all, but I'm not going to account for it until you actually do it. And I haven't seen much scumhunting from you.Not "a lot of things".

I don't even know what to say but "What the fuck Shad0wdump," because he apparently did his best to ruin Day 1. -.-You could say I was a bit... Mental...
Bullets are vigs, aren't they? Anyway, now we're done with our policy lynch, can we lynch obvscum JanusTwoFace or Kaminasquirtle today?
Normally, but the body's very fresh, and still warm, like it was a morningkill. The only thing that does that right now is the Assassin Bot. Unless I'm missing something.Derp.
I'd say it's too EARLY to say that.Normally, but the body's very fresh, and still warm, like it was a morningkill. The only thing that does that right now is the Assassin Bot. Unless I'm missing something.Derp.

Also, who started this herp derp nonsense? It's rather annoying, and I'd really prefer it stopped.I blame Pandarsenic.
What say you Leafy? Besides the derp?
can we lynch obvscum JanusTwoFace or Kaminasquirtle today?
I suppose you could say that the death rate for a Medium is rather High :P
Now that I've got that pun out of the way I'll say that
Toaster
Ottofar
Mysteriousbluepuppet
Eduren
are probably our scum team.
All of these player have been lackluster in their game, either by lurking, active or not, and contributing minuscule amounts.
As such, Ottofar, what are you so busy doing that you can't be here to play?
MBP, who needs a good lynching in your professional opinion?
Toaster, why didn't you try harder to make me unvote you yesterday? Weren't you even a little upset?
Eduren, what have you contributed to this game?
The herp/derp bit is largely my fault, and I picked it up from one of my exes.I rather dislike it. It gives Org the ability to active lurk. More than usual.
Also Leafsnail you totally didn't answer his game-related question. Just saying.
How DARE you! You think you can just sit back for a week while everyone else is scumhunting?!? Who do you think you are?!I suppose you could say that the death rate for a Medium is rather High :P

Heh, not doing anything is pretty much my hat these last week. I'm not a professionnal in any kind of way, and i havent yet read the last 6 page or so.Ill be back once it,s done
But, seriously, you have to feel suspicious of someone. Not feeling suspicious about anyone is suspicious.
Does this mean you're suspicious of Pandarsenic or what?But, seriously, you have to feel suspicious of someone. Not feeling suspicious about anyone is suspicious.Heh, fail on my part. I know that Soli had a rather funny OMGUS on my case after me random voting him. That was probably the most obvious thing i got. After that i remeber Janus as being somewhat scummy but i havent read for like 5 days, so it's rather blurryBetter than nothing, I suppose. Doesn't make me feel any better though.
Weelllll at least we don't have to worry about Medium fakeclaims. That counts for something.Why not?
Bullets are vigs, aren't they? Anyway, now we're done with our policy lynch, can we lynch obvscum JanusTwoFace or Kaminasquirtle today?And why am I obviously scum? And more particularly so than KaminaSquirtle?

Heh, not doing anything is pretty much my hat these last week. I'm not a professionnal in any kind of way, and i havent yet read the last 6 page or so.Ill be back once it,s doneA standard 'more later' promise. When are you going to deliver on that?

Do you have anything to actually contribute.So I'm not allowed to reply to a post discussing flavour with a response discussing flavour...?
Hey, Janus, what alignment are you?Town. And yourself?
can we lynch obvscum JanusTwoFace or Kaminasquirtle today?Why so anxious to declare me scum before the day really starts, Leafsnail? It looks to me like you're doing exactly the same thing you found so scummy in JTF.
Also, what is the verdict on the flavor text? I've never played paranormal before, so I don't know what we can deduct from it.In Paranormal, flavor text basically always can be relied on to tell you what actually happened. Although it can be troublesome to interpret sometimes.
So, Exterminator killed Criptfeind, Org got Assassin Bot'd, Dopps got blocked?
Heh, fail on my part. I know that Soli had a rather funny OMGUS on my case after me random voting him. That was probably the most obvious thing i got. After that i remeber Janus as being somewhat scummy but i havent read for like 5 days, so it's rather blurry
O really?This better, Toaster?For that line alone, no.
Asking a more experienced player what he thought of my scumhunt so far makes my entire argument invalid? Pleasing Toaster didn't even factor into my decision to do better scumhunting. What did is that I want to actually y'know, contribute.
Why wouldn't I throw that in? I did better, and might as well answer a comment aimed at me.

See, this isn't a townie reaction. A townie says "Hey, that's dumb! I'm not scum!" Wheras a mafia member says "Hey, where's the evience?? I need to bury it quick!"
Followed by deflection.
Web: After you voted me, I asked you why, and you never answered me. I had to simply guess at what you were trying to ask me about. You didn't seem to care about your vote on me either, so why should it upset me? I wrote it off to you not having time, but you appear to have time now. If you intend to attack me, do so, but don't just dilly around with it.I suppose then I didn't. But now I'm gonna have to make up for that.
PPE:
And your last post is scummy too. Let me run it through the BS translator: "How dare you attack me? Look at all the other people out there you could be attacking (that aren't me)"
To answer your question, the flavor usually indicates the nature of the kill. Dopps leave behind a bloody mess, the exterminator kills indicate energy weaponry, vigs shoot people, and the Xenozoologist leaves no traces behind, not even a roleflip. Guard and PWV kills usually complicate things- see P16 for some complicated ones.
You're not coming across as sincere- you're trying to do the bare minimum of content to keep people off your back. You're not here to please people- find the scum, hunt them down, and make them die.I'm not trying to please people. Do you think my last post was supposed to please anyone? Nope, I'm trying to find scum. I find Leaf scummy.
And your last post is scummy too. Let me run it through the BS translator: "How dare you attack me? Look at all the other people out there you could be attacking (that aren't me)"Look, I'm getting tired of explaining this. Leaf has done pretty much nothing but attack me and now JTF a bit. I don't like that's he's attacking me, but that certainly doesn't look scummy. It's the lack of any contribution on anything else that looks scummy. I'd like to see more from him in other areas.
Web: He asked about what we can figure out from flavor. I answered him, pointing out complicating factors. If you're implying I'm making a case for one of those applying over the past night, I'm not. I think the exty/assassin bot theory makes sense.My bad. I thought you were pointing out possibilities.
Kamina: If you have to keep explaining your attack, that means it wasn't clear enough in the first place. Explain your actions better.
Town. Interesting response though, considering you haven't tried to build any kind of case against me, and have just made very vague accusations so you don't have to reply properly.Hey, Janus, what alignment are you?Town. And yourself?
Why so anxious to declare me scum before the day really starts, Leafsnail? It looks to me like you're doing exactly the same thing you found so scummy in JTF.Blatant OMGUS is blatant.
I don't like how you've locked on to me and Janus. It's like an excuse to not contribute to the rest of the game.I will keep voting scum until they die. Simple as that.
You got anything... stronger? I don't find it particularly compelling that he's not denying it, since he's also asking you why.Look back to the constant waffling on day one (for instance, his posts that take up 2 pages on a word document but don't say a single word about who's scum) and an obsession with lurkers and policy lynches (which he later contradicted himself by claiming it was a "scumvote").

What's more, with you dead and confirmed scum, it will be easier to find your partners. I don't need to focus on anything else until that gets done.
Web, electricity. I think it's fixed now.
Kamina for now. I'll consider Janus tomorrow, or if I have time, today.
I'll be back in two hours, if I'll.

Well, I don't even care about being lynched anymore. Lynch me then. Just make sure to look over my posts when I die.
"Hey, if I unvote (without giving any reason why, or explaining why he's suddenly not scum), maybe he'll leave me alone?Nope, I never said I'm giving up. I said I don't care if you really want to vote, and, ultimately lynch me. I'm not going to make an effort to stop that. I didn't say I would stop trying to find scum.
Nah, that won't be enough... I know, I'll make an extremely halfassed attempt to look like a townie giving up (in spite of having only 2 votes on me)."

There's one of Janus's huge walls of NOTHING. It's like staring into the abyss.
Nope, I never said I'm giving up. I said I don't care if you really want to vote, and, ultimately lynch me. I'm not going to make an effort to stop that. I didn't say I would stop trying to find scum.So, I'm guessing someone on the scumchat told you you're being overdefensive. Got it.
It's funny how you link to one of your own posts.It's my post about his wall of nothing. And he does do it a lot, but he doesn't usually post a page of useless crap and then give FoS's and votes exclusively to lurkers and policy lynch targets.
JTF does stuff like that all the time. He responds to a lot of stuff and quotes it for context. I'm really not seeing anything out of the ordinary coming from him.
But eh, you've prompted a read through of him. I'll take a look at his posts.
Interestingly, "I don't care about being lynched anymore" is the only reason given for unvoting me.See here:
I'm still not sure you're not scum, but I find Ottofar to be more scummy. Assuming your reasons are similar to Toaster's, I can see how you're convinced by them.
But eh, you've prompted a read through of him. I'll take a look at his posts.

Utterly useless, and again promising content and failing to deliver. You are completely scummy and should hang for it.

Pandarsenic:
You've been activelurking the entire game. Posting, but not doing any hunting. What are your interpretations of the night's happenings and flavour? Who are your top scummy picks? What are your current reads on Leafsnail, Kamina and Toaster?
These are my current top picks: Pandar, Web and MBP; I'm pretty sure they're scum. There's at least five scum out there, so more hunting needs to happen. Toaster and Leafsnail are medium-scummy; and Criptfeind & Eduren are MIA.
PS: Apologies for light posting, this has been a very busy week for me. I'll be as active as I can.

Web, electricity. I think it's fixed now.That's all you've got? You'll just parrot other's attacks and wonder off? Where's that "two hours later" post you were talking about? It's been 8.
Kamina for now. I'll consider Janus tomorrow, or if I have time, today.
I'll be back in two hours, if I'll.
Spectroscopy for now, ill be better off laterYou already had your more later posts here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1727793#msg1727793) and here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1727837#msg1727837). Post something useful.
It was sarcasm designed to point out how pointless the question is. You really haven't been worth attacking.Town. Interesting response though, considering you haven't tried to build any kind of case against me, and have just made very vague accusations so you don't have to reply properly.Hey, Janus, what alignment are you?Town. And yourself?
So you're absolutely, 100% sure that you have scum? Because otherwise you're tunneling something hard here and it's scummy.I don't like how you've locked on to me and Janus. It's like an excuse to not contribute to the rest of the game.I will keep voting scum until they die. Simple as that.
Unvote.Pro tip: Don't do this. No matter if you're town or scum or 3rd party. It's going to get you lynched. (Well, I guess if you're a Jester. But even then, just don't do it). Don't give up.
Well, I don't even care about being lynched anymore. Lynch me then. Just make sure to look over my posts when I die.
It's my post about his wall of nothing. And he does do it a lot, but he doesn't usually post a page of useless crap and then give FoS's and votes exclusively to lurkers and policy lynch targets.... The FoS's and votes were on lurkers because we had just gotten an extension. I wanted to see them use it.
Anyone: Do you think scum would be extra eager to lynch Shadow after we had decided he was either SS or scum? Not saying that everyone who voted him is scummy, but I think it would of been an opportunity scum couldn't let slip.I don't think they'd have had to do much. They could've just let town get him, without having to dirty themselves with it. I mean, he was digging his own grave, why bother with putting yourself on the line when he was doing a perfectly good job getting himself lynched on his own? This is spilling into WIFOM territory, but the point is that it doesn't really help determine scum.
Zathras: What is MIA? Sorry not too flash on my mafia lingo.Missing In Action.
Anyone: Do you think scum would be extra eager to lynch Shadow after we had decided he was either SS or scum? Not saying that everyone who voted him is scummy, but I think it would of been an opportunity scum couldn't let slip.Direct answer to your question: yes. The problem with your question: so would town. I think you're trying to indirectly trying to put suspicion on those associated with the SHAD0Wdump lynch. Especially since you seemed perfectly fine with the lynch yourself although you were careful to avoid actually voting for him...
Janus: For some reason, your questions to Mish and Person (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1731218#msg1731218) stink of rolefishing. It's weird rolefishing, though, because I don't see why you'd try to find out any MS after he shot his load- he'd be vanilla now, assuming a MS indeed killed Org.Not really. Knowing who someone would kill if they had an option to do it directly rather than try to push a lynch is important. Especially when they aren't actually doing a thing about actually working on the lynching option.
As for my question:
Anyone: Do you think scum would be extra eager to lynch Shadow after we had decided he was either SS or scum? Not saying that everyone who voted him is scummy, but I think it would of been an opportunity scum couldn't let slip.
Mr.Person, why were you and Zathras trying to get webadict lynched for stupid meta shit yesterday? And why were you focusing your lurker hunting efforts on webadict when there's a rogue's gallery of abhorrent lurkers this game who had even less excuse than webadict?
So you're absolutely, 100% sure that you have scum? Because otherwise you're tunneling something hard here and it's scummy.I don't like how you've locked on to me and Janus. It's like an excuse to not contribute to the rest of the game.I will keep voting scum until they die. Simple as that.
Mr.Person: If you were a Military Scientist, which tech would you pick and why?
Really now, tunneling became scummy? When did that happen? Last I checked, tunneling was a towny action to lynch a player he/she is sure is scum, or if you're ToonyMan, to put pressure on that player so you can figure out that player's alignment.Tunneling *is* scummy. Ask the mafiascum wiki (http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tunnel_vision). It's also known as confirmation bias. You're so sure that you have scum that you don't look anywhere else and anything at all looks like evidence. Putting pressure on someone is something totally different. In case it's unclear, Leafsnail is doing the former.
But alright, tell me this, JanusTwoface. If you were really, really sure that SHAD0Wdump is scum, why wouldn't you tunnel him until he dies?Um... What? I was voting him until he did die. There wasn't any need to apply any more pressure to him, he already was plenty scummy to lynch and I wasn't the only person who thought so. I still think he's scummy (albeit not actually scum) and I saw the role flip.
If you wanted to know who I'd kill, probably Webadict. Not only do I have an inkling he's scum, I'd never be able to get him lynched. At least that's what I'd do now. Not very shocking since I need to get some different suspicions now.If you're town and want to kill webadict, you must think he's at least a little scummy. So why don't you vote him? Instead you vote me for two reasons (that I can see). Both based on something not even directed at you, and neither of which holds any water at all. Nice.
So, you think I'm suspicious for not playing in a manner you're accustomed to? That's a crying shame. I'll play how I want, really.And yet, you didn't. It's after Tuesday, and you're still not playing your town game. I still think you scummy.Web: After you voted me, I asked you why, and you never answered me.I suppose then I didn't.

Baldrick has a plan is a pretty cool guy, eh hunts solely lrukers so he doesn't have to actually analyze people's content and doesn't afraid of anything,
Also, does it really bother nobody that Zathras isn't analyzing anyone who's actually posting frequently on account of his "All Lurkers, All the Time" polcy?
But, since we're talking about playstyles, you've forgotten who's playing twice, you're attacking lurkers, and then you're lurking, which means you're scum. Clearly, you'll have to vote yourself for not playing your usual town game. Dur.
Actually Janus, you and me having a miscommunication. Leafsnail's trying to get the player he thinks is scummy lynched. I want to know why that's scummy. You've said "Tunneling". I've responded with "Tunneling isn't scummy". You said "Yeah it is". We've had a bit of a miscommunication. When I say "tunneling", I thought you meant "trying to get another player lynched" or perhaps "attacking another player for minor shit". What you actually meant was "attack another player in the face of dissuading evidence". There is no dissuading evidence for Leafsnail to ignore.Say what now? You specifically said tunneling:

But ok, if you're not scum, who is? Who should Leafsnail be attacking? Actually, I'll drop the metaphor. Who should we all be attacking?If I knew for sure, then I'd be doing everything in my power to make sure they were lynched. It's not my job to tell you who to attack. If you're town, do your own scumhunting. If you're scum, don't so we can lynch you all the easier.
Yes. It pains me to say that I have been unusually busy this week, and it will likely continue for at least another week or more. With that in mind, I see no choice but to ask Mephansteras: I need a replacement, please.The sad thing is that even requesting a replacement, you're not even in the bottom quartile of activity. On the other hand, the difference is that you're usually more active.
After gym. I promise.I'll believe it when I see it. It's already been over 3 hours and there's not *that* many left in the day. Luckily for you, Pandarsenic has direct evidence on him. Be back to you later.

And I still think that Leafsnail is tunneling strictly by the definition I gave. He's focussed on getting one/two players lynched without actually looking at evidence.

You do that -- play how you want, I'll vote who I want; your play is scummy and noncommittal. You are scum.

I note that you didn't answer the question. Once again, you have done zero hunting the entire game. The question was important, the dopps didn't kill last night, and you seem to have no opinion on the matter. Although it is probably too early in the game to start poking into roles and actions, my limited time on line leaves me little choice: I know for a fact you were roleblocked last night. And the dopps didn't kill. Curious, yes? Feel like fakeclaiming something?
However, this point, curiously made by both of them, is accurate:Also, does it really bother nobody that Zathras isn't analyzing anyone who's actually posting frequently on account of his "All Lurkers, All the Time" polcy?Quote from: webadictBut, since we're talking about playstyles, you've forgotten who's playing twice, you're attacking lurkers, and then you're lurking, which means you're scum.

It saddens me this is the case, as I had been waiting a long time for this game, however I do not at the moment have enough time to do it justice, so it would only be fair for someone else to step in. I will continue to play as opportunity allows until a replacement is found. Sorry guys, some times real life does interfere.
Do you want people to lurk?Oh... yes, I forgot. We're playing "vote of the people who post least", aren't we? How silly. I'll just blindly vote the person with the least posts and...
I'm obviously Janus's partner!Got it.
Bullshit appeal to authority.Uhuh. In any case, it says nothing about scummy, and doesn't even seem to apply to this case at all, since you're both blindingly obvious scum.
If I knew for sure, then I'd be doing everything in my power to make sure they were lynched. It's not my job to tell you who to attack. If you're town, do your own scumhunting. If you're scum, don't so we can lynch you all the easier.So... you're doing absolutely nothing, other than making a ridiculously vague attack on me for actually FUCKING DOING SOMETHING?
Extension since JanusTwoFace isn't being lynched yet.
@Janus: Screw up more. Seriously, there's so little wrong with you it's actually kind of weird. Oh well. Feelings do not make reasons for lynching.Unvote.
Regarding being blocked, I've no night action, but received a PM about feeling dizzy then sleeping.

After scarfing down a sandwich you start gathering your things. You'll need to be careful if you're to discover what Solifuge is up to without him catching you at it.
But as you start going through your drawer you feel a strange sensation. A tightening around you, as if invisible chains had wrapped themselves around you. You stand up and struggle against the chains, trying in vain to break the paralysis settling into your muscles. But it is no use. Your struggles grow weaker, and your thoughts begin to slow.
Then, as you are slumping against your desk, you see the door open. You can only look on with bemusement as Jokerman steps through and rises an Uzi in your direction. The bullets barely even hurt, and your mind has slipped into darkness before you even hit the floor.
You have died, and your soul slips off to limbo: http://www.quicktopic.com/44/H/e3ZygJ2vpRuY
KaminaSquirtle: A mix of scumtell/nubtells, Spasticness, and what I'd have said is a NON-scumtell OMGUS. An OMGUS is most suspicious when it's hesitant. However, he IMMEDIATELY drops it when called on it... then puts an OMGUS on Ottofar. He then goes "Hey, ALL LURKERS ALL THE TIME works for Zathras, I should try it since I can't seem to actually make good attacks on players who do things!"I know this is going to sound like a bit of a stretch, but I believe I'm onto something here. Firstly, I can see how a townie would vote me. I've done quite a stupid amount of things.
[citation needed]Since you asked.
You wake up in the middle of the night with a pounding heart. You try to get up, but your body won't move! It feels as if you are bound in invisible chains binding you to your bed. You struggle for a bit, but it is no use. Eventually you fall back asleep and awaken in the morning with a splitting headache. You're pretty sure you won't be able to use your abilities this day, not with a headache like this!
Regarding being blocked, I've no night action, but received a PM about feeling dizzy then sleeping. I assumed it was the thing that blocks everyone or something initially, but seeing the deaths I figured Jokerman-EXE was just a bit fuzzy on how the Warden flavor works or something. It's fully possible there are two wardens, that the Dopps attempted to kill someone unable to be killed (possibly even crashing against the Exterminator's shield), etc.
If he claims he is not the Warden in question, and that he was told by someone else, that opens up even more possibilities (he's scum with them; he's scum who is "protecting someone's identity" and thus won't finger his source until I flip town, then he gets two townies lynched and perhaps even is an Advanced Dopp who'll replace someone at that point; he's gullible town being lied to by scum who wants him to take the fallout; etc.)
In other words, it's a bunch of WIFOM in the end anyway.
PPE: Dude, I'm not going to post the PM. The data is out there, people will make their minds. The undisputed fact remains: Pandar was blocked the night the Dopps didn't kill, and he has admitted it. Then he tried to weasel out with a very flimsy claim. Make of it what you will."Hey look, Pandar's dopp, go vote him instead! It doesn't matter that I'm the exterminator."
Hehe. I remember that night.
Warning - while you were typing 5 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Woah, I think you have something there Jim.
A most interesting development indeed.
So do you think Pandar is scum, and Zathras blocked him as exterminator, or that Pandar is innocent?
And if that was a morning kill, then the exterminator killed both Org and Cript. I find that quite the interesting choice. Quite strange, wasting an assassin bot on Org of all people.
But I suppose that's just a pile of WIFOM anyway. Just seems a strange choice to me.
Warning - while you were typing 6 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Woah, that's some serious evidence.
I believe Pandar to be scum, but I'd rather lynch an Exterminator than a dopp. From what I can tell exterminators are more dangerous than dopp, correct?
Unvote.
Vote Zathras.
Warning - while you were typing 9 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.
Argh this is crazy.

And the Assassin Bot was likely used by a Human Military Scientist, considering that Org was filled with bullet holes instead of having charred cavities in his chest.Ah, that makes much more sense. I hadn't considered that possibility. That means the exterminator still has some pretty powerful tech left, and we should lynch him before he has the chance to use it. More reason to vote Zathras.
The Exterminator isn't necessarily more dangerous than the Dopps, but if we get rid of the Exterminator then we drop the nightly kill count from two to one, guaranteed. It's a good move, over all, since it slows down the game and let's us get a few more mislynches before lylo. But Zathras isn't necessarily the Exterminator, he probably just plays for the Exterminator team. Regardless, he should be lynched immediately.Good point.
Of course I have something. I caught Zathras in a lie.
Pandarsenic could still be scum; he freely admitted that he was roleblocked and there was no dopp kill last night. But Zathras, like I said earlier, is guaranteed.
And Kamina, you think that lynching me will eliminate a NK? If that was the case, wouldn't I have killed last night? Or did I both kill Cript/Org and block Pandar?You did kill last night. You killed Cript. Org was probably killed by a human military scientist assassin bot, as Jim said earlier. I find it funny you didn't notice this, since he mentioned it in the post you quoted.
Guys, lynch Pand. Zathras is a town Psychic Warden or the world's stupidest alien. Either way, lynching Pand is a much better use of time.
It's not possible for Zathras to be an alien with a Stun Orb. Think about it. The only alien that can get a Stun Orb without upgrading to the superior Stun Bomb is the Survivor. Why would a Survivor take a Stun Orb and blow it on the first night? And he can't be an Exterminator who used a Stun Orb, there was an Exterminator kill last night. Meph, please confirm to these idiots that using a Stun Orb counts as your whole night action (or change the role list to make it more clear).
And in any case, remember that the flavor last night was written by Jokerman instead of Meph. If there's minor inconsistencies, that'd be why.
Of course I have something. I caught Zathras in a lie.
Pandarsenic could still be scum; he freely admitted that he was roleblocked and there was no dopp kill last night. But Zathras, like I said earlier, is guaranteed.
Far be it from me to free you from your delusion, but for the benefit of people who will catch up on this tomorrow, can you recap which lie you caught me on, that makes me, as you say, "guaranteed"? Is it failing to mention that the flavour included "chains", but that Pandar's (and Meph's from P16) did include dizziness and sleep? Or something else?
Also, please recap the sequence of events... I could only post once a day for a week, so when the day started, I noticed the Dopps didn't kill and that a scummy player had been roleblocked, so I, as the alien you say I am, immediately voted him and used my limited posting time to point out my night action results instead of laying low or talking about something else? And Kamina, you think that lynching me will eliminate a NK? If that was the case, wouldn't I have killed last night? Or did I both kill Cript/Org and block Pandar?
I'm not being defensive; lynch me if you think that's the best, but please do recap your arguments, because I think they are full of holes, and you are letting off the person convicted by the one piece of solid data that emerged.
A two member Exterminator team explains all discrepancies.Yes, now you have two people conniving together to bring alive this vision of yours. That's not a stretch at all over the simpler explanation, is it? And if it were true, lynching me doesn't stop the exterminator NK, does it?
Flavor discrepancies because of J-EXE is a bullshit reason to ignore Zathras being lying scum. I mean, apparently J-EXE had the wherewithal to include chains on the sending end. Why not the receiving? Meph wouldn't have let inaccurate flavor get in his game.You assume too much. Pandar didn't mention chains in his post, but why would he? He was on the defending end of the accusation, yes? It would be in his benefit to be as terse as possible. On the other side, I didn't mention them at first; to be honest, I didn't pay close attention to the flavour, all I retained from that moment three days ago was "roleblock success".
You're defending Zathras, who's quite clearly a lying fakeclaimer, and you're trying to deflect suspicion and votes onto Pandarsenic, just the same as Zathras. You are Zathras' partner in the Exterminator team.You are fulfilling the same for Pandar (speaking of fakeclaimers), trying to deflect suspicion and votes from him to me. Using your argument, we must deduce you are Pandar's scumbuddy, yes? Your case against me hinges on your presumption that I lied about flavour, and even if I did, I wouldn't have a NK. The case against Pandar is much more solid: he has admitted he was blocked the night Dopps didn't kill, on top of his otherwise scummy play. Isn't lynching a dopp a better thing for town than a non-NK alien of whatever flavour you have me pegged as? Why are you defending Pandar so much?
I guess your request for a replacement is bullshit, just like everything else you've done this game. You're quite clearly motivated to post now that your scummy ass has been found out.No, it stands. I did say I'd continue to play as opportunity allows until a replacement is found, and I happen to be able to dedicate some of my Friday night to the game, if you don't mind. But I do expect to be just as busy next week as I was last week, and I don't like posting just once per day.
Keep in mind that whether you believe both, one, or neither of us is scum, WE HAVE A VIGILANTE. He can simply shoot one of us at night.
Anyways, in short, Janus was driving the policy lynch, but it didn't work out. He wouldn't back off, because someone could've said he just wanted to get a free lynch. Then he gets SHAD0W and Cript to vote for, and argues with Cript about the amount of the Org-concerning posts. Also, he was too friendly with Kamina, which is also suspicious.This one, I mean.
Nope (I think, can the operative nk?), but it only takes two lynches to get rid of the exterminator team, rather than 4 to get rid of the dopp team.A two member Exterminator team explains all discrepancies.Yes, now you have two people conniving together to bring alive this vision of yours. That's not a stretch at all over the simpler explanation, is it? And if it were true, lynching me doesn't stop the exterminator NK, does it?
So you think Pand is a Dopp, but we should lynch Zathras because he's an Exterminator? First off, why would an Exterminator take a fucking Stun Orb? This isn't even a "Shield + Big Tech ONLY" problem, this is more like why would anyone take a Stun Orb instead of a Stun Bomb? There isn't even any WIFOM in it, it's just stupid. Second off, lynching the Dopp is more important than the Exterminator. The Exterminator kills are likely to eventually hit a Dopp or two.The operative could. Makes perfect sense. And while the Exterminator may kill a dopp every once in a while, I won't pass up the chance to take one out before he's really used any tech. Killing 1 large and 2 medium tech which are owned by someone anti-town is not an opportunity to pass up.
But ok, he's an Operative. Fine. We should still lynch the Dopp over an Op. The Op is even less important than the Dopp. Now I'm not saying with 100% certainty that Zathras isn't an Op, but I am saying it's more important to hit a Dopp than an Op. I find Pand's lurking combined with the claim to be enough to convince me he's a Dopp. That means I'm going to lynch him. Lynching off Zathras (which I am currently against, in case it sounds like I'm waffling) is irrelevant next to lynching the most likely Dopp player in the game.He doesn't have to be an op. He said he knew that Pandar was rbed. That doesn't mean he did it, his op buddy could have. We can deal with Pandar tomorrow. He will hang, eventually.
I still say that Zathras is town, but we'll know soon enough. Either he blocks someone else or he doesn't. If he's an Op, he won't be able to block more than twice. We lynch him either Day 3 or Day 4. The reason I'm not worried about this at all is simply that the information will become available no matter what. I could worry and stress and whatever, but the fact remains that he'll either role-confirm himself or die. So why bother? And if he is an alien, he's a complete idiot.Why should we let him use more of his tech? He could have very powerful tech up his sleeves, I don't want to see him get the chance to use it.
In any case, Jim, what makes you so sure Zathras is an alien and why should we bypass a Dopp to lynch said alien?
Hmm, looks like I should clarify what does and does not use an action a bit more in the alien tech section. Stun Orbs/Bombs do NOT take up the alien's action for the night, if they have one.
Jokerman did a pretty good job with the flavor, but it's not 100% consistent with how I would have written it.:(
A two member Exterminator team explains all discrepancies.Yes, now you have two people conniving together to bring alive this vision of yours. That's not a stretch at all over the simpler explanation, is it? And if it were true, lynching me doesn't stop the exterminator NK, does it?
QuoteFlavor discrepancies because of J-EXE is a bullshit reason to ignore Zathras being lying scum. I mean, apparently J-EXE had the wherewithal to include chains on the sending end. Why not the receiving? Meph wouldn't have let inaccurate flavor get in his game.You assume too much. Pandar didn't mention chains in his post, but why would he? He was on the defending end of the accusation, yes? It would be in his benefit to be as terse as possible. On the other side, I didn't mention them at first; to be honest, I didn't pay close attention to the flavour, all I retained from that moment three days ago was "roleblock success".
My not immediately remembering the specifics of the flavour is the cornerstone of your case, yes? This in a game variant I play for the first time, and at a time when I had trouble remembering the names of the players... Is this really what you are using to mark me as "guaranteed" liar?
QuoteYou're defending Zathras, who's quite clearly a lying fakeclaimer, and you're trying to deflect suspicion and votes onto Pandarsenic, just the same as Zathras. You are Zathras' partner in the Exterminator team.You are fulfilling the same for Pandar (speaking of fakeclaimers), trying to deflect suspicion and votes from him to me. Using your argument, we must deduce you are Pandar's scumbuddy, yes? Your case against me hinges on your presumption that I lied about flavour, and even if I did, I wouldn't have a NK. The case against Pandar is much more solid: he has admitted he was blocked the night Dopps didn't kill, on top of his otherwise scummy play. Isn't lynching a dopp a better thing for town than a non-NK alien of whatever flavour you have me pegged as? Why are you defending Pandar so much?
So you think Pand is a Dopp, but we should lynch Zathras because he's an Exterminator? First off, why would an Exterminator take a fucking Stun Orb? This isn't even a "Shield + Big Tech ONLY" problem, this is more like why would anyone take a Stun Orb instead of a Stun Bomb? There isn't even any WIFOM in it, it's just stupid. Second off, lynching the Dopp is more important than the Exterminator. The Exterminator kills are likely to eventually hit a Dopp or two.
But ok, he's an Operative. Fine. We should still lynch the Dopp over an Op. The Op is even less important than the Dopp. Now I'm not saying with 100% certainty that Zathras isn't an Op, but I am saying it's more important to hit a Dopp than an Op. I find Pand's lurking combined with the claim to be enough to convince me he's a Dopp. That means I'm going to lynch him. Lynching off Zathras (which I am currently against, in case it sounds like I'm waffling) is irrelevant next to lynching the most likely Dopp player in the game.

In any case, Jim, what makes you so sure Zathras is an alien and why should we bypass a Dopp to lynch said alien?
Anyways, in short, Janus was driving the policy lynch, but it didn't work out. He wouldn't back off, because someone could've said he just wanted to get a free lynch. Then he gets SHAD0W and Cript to vote for, and argues with Cript about the amount of the Org-concerning posts. Also, he was too friendly with Kamina, which is also suspicious.This one, I mean.
I have read, so far, between last night and right now, something like 180 pages of paranormal mafia.Yeah, reading a lot of mafia in quick succession will leave your mind one big piece of mush.
Oh gog my poor brain. Maybe I shouldn't have archive-binged it, maybe I should've taken it a bit slower, stretched out the reading so it wasn't so intense.
But anyway,
Be back with opinions/lynchvote/something productive later.
Not really. As I have stated, I'm quite bad at mafia.Surely you have something suspicious to go on? That you can use to scumhunt?
Up to reply #227 I'd have voted him.
It started getting less scummy from somewhere there.

The operative could. Makes perfect sense. And while the Exterminator may kill a dopp every once in a while, I won't pass up the chance to take one out before he's really used any tech. Killing 1 large and 2 medium tech which are owned by someone anti-town is not an opportunity to pass up.Just noticed it's only one medium tech, but my point still stands.
As to whether we should lynch Zath first? I say no. His case is provable- if he's townie, he can block somebody, and the target can verify whether he was blocked or not. Simple enough, and if his claim is crap, he hangs tomorrow.Excellent point. We can test this. If it doesn't turn out or he refuses to test it, then we lynch him.
Excellent point. We can test this. If it doesn't turn out or he refuses to test it, then we lynch him.
Pandar, though, pretty much has no chance of redeeming himself.
Unvote. Vote Pandarsenic.
Pandarsenic: Yeah, Kaminasquirtle, I think it's time for you to bus me.
Unvote. Pandarsenic.
Quote from: ScumchatPandarsenic: Yeah, Leafsnail, I think it's time for you to bus me.
Incidentally, you should probably look at Kaminasquirtle's interactions with him over the last few pages. As in, the passive defence without explaining why (attacking Zathras, pushing the potential exterminator angle), the chainsawing against Mr.Person and so on. As if he weren't screaming newbscum enough already.Excuse me, but what? So if I start hunting scum, then I'm pulling a passive defense and chainsawing? And if I'm not, then I'm scum for not scumhunting? It's not my fault that someone acting scummy happened to be voting me. Seriously, that isn't even considered a tell anymore.
UPDATE: After further analysis, Tarhalindur has determined that the Chainsaw Defense is only trustworthy once the player defended has been revealed to be group scum (once the player defended is proved to be Mafia, any player that used Chainsaw Defense on the dead scum should be scrutinized). Otherwise, it is a null tell. Mutual Chainsaw Defense may, however, still be an outright scumtell; more research is required here.I see what you're up to. No matter what I do, it's scummy. I'm probably pulling a chainsaw right now, amiright?
Very well. If Zathras actually is a Psychic Warden then he can block me tonight to prove his claim. Or, I dunno, he can block whoever he thinks is scum, and pray he gets lucky or his target doesn't lie about it.
Unvote Zathras. Pandarsenic.
I'm starting to suspect webadict and Leafsnail for their silence during this whole thing. webadict less, since the last time he was online was this morning, but he saw me accuse Zathras and bring out evidence. But Leafsnail has been online all day and is curiously silent.
So... I'm bussing three of my teammates now?
That was pretty much exactly what I was saying.
Eduren: If you were scum and your scum buddy was lurking what would you do and why?
After that, to each of you, ask at least one useful question to anyone in the game.
Eduren, what have you contributed to this game?
So... I'm bussing three of my teammates now?
No. You are bussing one of your teammates. JTF and KaminaSquirtle are not scum.
Pretty much this.That was pretty much exactly what I was saying.
I know. But I don't trust you.
...and it didn't really click until Toaster said it anyway.
Phew, ok, I'm here now. All caught up and hopefully good to go.Lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers lurkers.
I guess I'll start with the questions asked of me that never got answered. Since, you know, I'm Eduren now and in no way Argembarger:Eduren: If you were scum and your scum buddy was lurking what would you do and why?
After that, to each of you, ask at least one useful question to anyone in the game.
I don't think it would affect anything for me, because lurking doesn't seem very detrimental to scum.
That said, Mish, it's been a few days. And your only contribution was to not contribute and attack MBP for not contributing. It doesn't help that MBP also seems to be lurking pretty hard as well.
I'm not sure which one of you seems scummier to me, but I'm going to have to lean MBP on the grounds that Mish is (ever so slightly) more active than you, and you haven't actually responded to Mish's post. Also, it seems risky for scum to bring attention to lurking scum, so I feel like that clears Mish a little bit compared to you.
People saying they're gon' update "later tonight" but then don't? Shameful.
If nothing else, consider this vote and FOS a formal request (for both of you) to check in and say hello.
Oh, I guess my useful question would be, Mish, what do you think should happen to lurkers with no explanation? Policy-lynch because they are likely scum? That seems to be the general vibe around here, do you agree, y/n?
It's not like voting Pandar is going to hammer him. You seem to be glossing over this entire Zathras Pandarsenic thing. I don't like it. It's still this lurker stuff.Eduren, what have you contributed to this game?
My awesome, superior past self? Not too much, I guess, since he ended up becoming the highly inferior version you now see before you.
But my trawling and reading through the thread multiple times revealed speculation on the nature of the game, roles and spore spreaders (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1703379#msg1703379) and some solid, rational scumhunting (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1709666#msg1709666). And then a bunch of inactivity. And then leaving. And then I show up!
But basically, when Eduren did post, it was helpful, constructive posts.
Anyway, everyone's dogpiling Pandar, so while we wait for him to come back and defend himself or get lynched on Monday or whatever, I shall use this time to analyze/flush out some lurkers. I feel like there's gotta be scum hidden back there.
AKA Mish & MBP, why should I suspect the other over you?
Do you have anything to say other than 'Well, this person looks scummy. I'm just going to sit here and apply no pressure.' Seriously, you're still voting me, but have done nothing to pressure me. Would you care to reiterate your case?So... I'm bussing three of my teammates now?
No. You are bussing one of your teammates. JTF and KaminaSquirtle are not scum.
Hm. Why so sure?
Kamina. Not sure, since Jokerman wrote the flavor. We'll see tomorrow.

You say lurking isn't detrimental to scum, then make all of your FoSes/Votes based on lurking.
Don't do a Zathras, please?
On lynching lurkers: I say do it if we have no other leads. Right now we have leads all over the place. We have people to lynch before lurkers. We shouldn't give them a free pass, but I don't think they would be a good lynch right now.
Yes, one way or another either Pandar or I are hanging today, and that's as it should be. But we MUST, always, pursue the lurkers. Not instead of others, but in addition to. Hunt them to their cave, hound them out, and bark and bite at them. Lurkers are the bane of our existence, and must be called to account for their actions or lack thereof. Sure, they won't hang today, and it's a perfectly good question to ask them their opinion of what has transpired, but don't lash at those who lash at them. They do so for your benefit. A lurky game is a failed game; a game where scum lurk to victory is not a satisfying one, even for them; a lurky player is always a scummy player. Yell at them until they come! and if they don't, like Mish, and webadict, and MBP, hang them (eventually); and if they do, but with with active-lurking lame posts, like Ottofar or Pandar, hang them too!The issue isn't attacking lurkers, it is attacking lukers and no one else. It was his first real post in his first game, so I'm going to give him slack for that. However, I will point it out. It isn't enough to warrant even a FoS, but I felt it was enough for a post.

It's not like voting Pandar is going to hammer him. You seem to be glossing over this entire Zathras Pandarsenic thing. I don't like it. It's still this lurker stuff.
What are your views on Pandar/Zathras? How could Pandar defend himself well enough to convince you of him not being scum?
Uhuh. Your logic is... interesting? Or should I say completely fucking retarded?So... I'm bussing three of my teammates now?
No. You are bussing one of your teammates. The guy who still hasn't posted anything at all about Pandarsenic and the guy who blatantly chainsaw defended him are not scum.
You seriously had nothing to say while this was happening? You seemed pretty damn interested to go after JTF and KaminaSquirtle earlier in the day, and suddenly you're not interested in the slightest about a possible fakeclaim?Procrastination is not a scumtell, it's just a personality tell. I often wait until I'm about to go to bed to post ("Meh, I'll respond a little later") in the same way I often wait to do my homework at the last minute (not something I'd recommend >.>).
Lol, wat?Yep, every time you write a long post, something happens to make it disappear. It happened to me an unreal amount of times in the last BM.
My computer just BSOD'd.
First time ever.
All I was doing was posting a reply to Kamina and listening to some Homestuck muzak.
Is... is this normal? Is Mafia cursed?
Now I have to retype this; goody.
I see no contradictions there. Lurking is good for scum and bad for town, generally, right? So what's wrong with voting/FoSing lurkers? At worst, it gets them prodded, or gets them to participate/replace, and at best, it reveals scum hiding in the shadows.But everyone always points out lurkers. You voted them yourself. So lurking doesn't really help scum, does it? It doesn't help anyone. My issue was with you saying it wouldn't hurt scum. But if one of the lurkers is scum, you just hurt them.
And yeah, we do have people to lynch before lurkers; but it looks like the town is doing just that. Lynching. I see a massive horn-pile of votes over there for Pandar, and plenty of suspicion elsewhere, but MPH and Mish are getting off relatively easy, and I don't like it.
Well, according to da rulez, the day ends when everyone has voted, right? So wherever I place my vote, it progresses towards Pandar getting hammered. So why should I waste my vote by throwing it on the huge pile of foregone conclusions when I can toss it at some lurkers and try to force them out of their hidey-holes?Nope. Day ends at a specified time, irregardless of who voted when.
How can Pandar defend himself well enough to convince me that he isn't scum? If I knew the answer to that, I'd be a natural Mafia expert :PMy point is he can't. So he should be lynched. End of story.
But he seems guilty of the same thing that I suspect MBP and Mish of: Lurking and not contributing. The only difference here is that the entire town is going after Pandar at this point.
I'll just attack the lurkers I can see who are getting by without too much fuss, in the meantime.
Oh, uh, noticing the whiteboard I thought I definitely voted for MBP in my post, but...
vote MPB
You don't need to post something about someone to chainsaw defend them.Uhuh. Your logic is... interesting? Or should I say completely fucking retarded?So... I'm bussing three of my teammates now?
No. You are bussing one of your teammates. The guy who still hasn't posted anything at all about Pandarsenic and the guy who blatantly chainsaw defended him are not scum.
Whoo, managed to tell the girl I'm derp for how I feel without screwing up our friendship.Ahahaha. Waffling around now. Yeah, you're scum and have thrown in the towel.
And yeah, don't lynch Zathras - on further thought it was probably just a mistake by Jow.
Fun fact: You can call me a lurker all you want but I've posted more than several players. D:<

Days will last for 48 hours or until everyone has voted (if there is a long period of inactivity after everyone votes I'll end the day to keep things moving).

I didn't really mention the whole Zathras-Pandarsenic situation because it seems like it's already been gone over with a microscope, tweezers and a steady hand. Zathras can potentially prove his role, Pandar has yet to prove anything or contribute. They both seem kind of scummy, one of them is getting lynched today. How shall I add to that? Other than my n00bish opinion, all the facts seem to be out on the table.
How can Pandar defend himself well enough to convince me that he isn't scum? If I knew the answer to that, I'd be a natural Mafia expert :P

Oh, p.s. to everyone, even though this is my first game just treat me like you would anyone else.
It bothers me when people go easy on me in games just because I'm new. A trial by fire is much more effective for my skill than a trial by kittens and bunnies.
Read this wrong. That's what I get for reading posts quickly.Uhuh. Your logic is... interesting? Or should I say completely fucking retarded?So... I'm bussing three of my teammates now?
No. You are bussing one of your teammates. The guy who still hasn't posted anything at all about Pandarsenic and the guy who blatantly chainsaw defended him are not scum.
Argument fail. JTF hasn't been online to post about it.Which makes him town...?
And if you're going to use my line against you against him, I'm going to point out that webadict has done the exact same thing as you. He's even online right now, and there's not a thing coming from him. Peas in a pod, the three of you.Jesus, Jim, have you hit your head against something recently? Like, really hard?
KaminaSquirtle is active and interested in finding scum. You are not. He is town, you are scum.:o
I don't believe you. You didn't procrastinate to throw crap at JTF and KaminaSquirtle when the opportunity arose. Your explanation is inconsistent with how you have acted.It's weird you should say this, because I did. For instance, I made this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1733660#msg1733660) at a bit past midnight, and this one (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1731264#msg1731264) at 3am. In other words, as late as possible... so procrastinating.
Regardless, you're just grasping at straws and making shit up now. I was in no way chainsaw defending Pandar. I mentioned multiple times I thought he was scum.Definition of chainsaw defence: attacking someone's attackers in order to try and lessen the chance of them being lynched, while at the same time remaining disconnected from them.
Seriously, man, you're making quite obvious now you just want me lynched, regardless of whether I'm scum or town.I just want you lynched, BECAUSE you're scum, and have been ridiculously obvious for ages.

Fucking hell.
I'm Leafsnail. I posted pretty frequently right up until Zathras said he blocked Pandarsenic. Look at my posts for Day 2! (Up to where I claim I was "procrastinating".) #1 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1727647#msg1727647) #2 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1727691#msg1727691) #3 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1727741#msg1727741) #4 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1727773#msg1727773) #5 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1728202#msg1728202) #6 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1728275#msg1728275) #7 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1729895#msg1729895) #8 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1730082#msg1730082) #9 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1730169#msg1730169) #10 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1731264#msg1731264)Included among those are two at two in the morning, one at 3 in the morning. Which basically shows that, as I say, I sometimes procrastinate until the last minute to post.
Don't be retarded. If JTF isn't available to post, then it's not suspicious for him to be quiet. He has an excuse.He "beat me to Pandarsenic" in the sense that "He randomly pokes people very gently on a regular cycle".
If we're going to make this about who commented on what when, he beat you to Pandarsenic by several days, before he went missing. I dunno, Leafsnail, even in his absence he's doing better than you.
Yep.Ok, you're scum. Good to know.
Bullshit chainsaw defense accusations don't really mean much to active and interested participation and contributions.
I said on multiple occasions that I THOUGHT PANDAR WAS SCUM. I WAS NOT DEFENDING HIM. HOW DO YOU NOT GET THIS?KaminaSquirtle is active and interested in finding scum. You are not. He is town, you are scum.:o
Seriously? The guy who defends Pandarsenic until the last possible moment then "Oh wait lol he needs to get lynched" and who was and is dropping blatant newbscum tells... is town?

Definition of chainsaw defence: attacking someone's attackers in order to try and lessen the chance of them being lynched, while at the same time remaining disconnected from them.Yet Zathras was looking scummy as hell in his own right. He wasn't really attacking Pandar at all. He voted him, but that was to get himself not lynched.
In this case, you also did as much as you could to press a Zathras lynch, blindly following (buddying?) Jim. You seem to be saying "Pandarsenic is a dopp, but we should ignore him". Oh, and the whole operativelol deal (presumably to try and get rid of a strong town PR).
I just want you lynched, BECAUSE you're scum, and have been ridiculously obvious for ages.Then why do so many other players disagree with you on that, if it's so obvious?
Good to know you're scum, Leafsnail.I'm Leafsnail. I posted pretty frequently right up until Zathras said he blocked Pandarsenic. Look at my posts for Day 2!

I said on multiple occasions that I THOUGHT PANDAR WAS SCUM. I WAS NOT DEFENDING HIM. HOW DO YOU NOT GET THIS?You were trying to stop him getting lynched. Maybe he has a role that will be useful tonight, maybe you wanted to lynch a town PR, or maybe you just wanted to waste a town lynch.
I figured that killing an exterminator before a dopp was a good idea.The part where you try to stop a dopp getting lynched, instead preferring to lynch someone who has a possibility of being an alien?
When I realized we could test whether Zath was an exterminator for sure, then I decided it would be better to lynch the dopp, then see if Zath an exterminator.
What the hell is scummy about that?
Yet Zathras was looking scummy as hell in his own right. He wasn't really attacking Pandar at all. He voted him, but that was to get himself not lynched.No, it's a chainsaw when you use it as a reason to try and save a dopp from being lynched. As in, someone even you agree is a dopp.
It's not a chainsaw. It's finding someone scummy, and pressing them on that. Every time I find something scummy, it's a chainsaw. Every time I don't, it's a waffling and not finding anyone suspicious.
The operative deal was perfectly legitimate. There is no reason there couldn't be an exterminator operator and an exterminator. It's still a possbility.Actually, now Pandarsenic has said that he was wrapped by chains, it's extremely unlikely. Just like it always was.
Then why do so many other players disagree with you on that, if it's so obvious?I have been saying why ALL FUCKING GAME. If other people can't see it, that's their problem.
You refuse to show why I'm scum, yet you find me so much scum that you seem unable to attack anyone but JTF and I.
It shows that you post freely throughout the day as you are able until something comes up that you don't want to talk about, at which point you clam up.There were several other days, even on that list, where I "clammed up", and didn't make a post until late.
The only reason Pandarsenic would be an uncomfortable topic for you is if you and he are partners and you don't want to incriminate yourselves by interacting.

Eh, misread his post where he unvoted.
And I still think Jokerman should be able to clarify.
Regarding being blocked, I've no night action, but received a PM about feeling dizzy then sleeping. I assumed it was the thing that blocks everyone or something initially, but seeing the deaths I figured Jokerman-EXE was just a bit fuzzy on how the Warden flavor works or something. It's fully possible there are two wardens, that the Dopps attempted to kill someone unable to be killed (possibly even crashing against the Exterminator's shield), etc.
Whoo, managed to tell the girl I'm derp for how I feel without screwing up our friendship.
And yeah, don't lynch Zathras - on further thought it was probably just a mistake by Jow.
Fun fact: You can call me a lurker all you want but I've posted more than several players. D:<
Unvote.
This is because I thought, and still think, that Zathras is Exterminator. I was convinced of this fact. Once I saw that we could tell for sure, however, I figured it would be a good idea to test it before we lynched it. The second I realized this, I decided to change my vote Pandar.I said on multiple occasions that I THOUGHT PANDAR WAS SCUM. I WAS NOT DEFENDING HIM. HOW DO YOU NOT GET THIS?You were trying to stop him getting lynched. Maybe he has a role that will be useful tonight, maybe you wanted to lynch a town PR, or maybe you just wanted to waste a town lynch.
The part where you try to stop a dopp getting lynched, instead preferring to lynch someone who has a possibility of being an alien?Not just any alien, the exterminator. And I think it's more than a possibility. If he doesn't comply with our plan, then I'll be 100% sure of him being scum. In fact if he refuses, and doesn't have a damn good reason, then my vote goes back on him.
No, it's a chainsaw when you use it as a reason to try and save a dopp from being lynched. As in, someone even you agree is a dopp.I wasn't trying to save him. I was trying to lynch a higher priority target.
Actually, now Pandarsenic has said that he was wrapped by chains, it's extremely unlikely. Just like it always was.Wait a second...
I have been saying why ALL FUCKING GAME. If other people can't see it, that's their problem.Yep. You have. You've been tunneling me. I don't think your case on me is good enough.
The rest is taking idiotic bits that don't apply and chucking them together.
Eh, misread his post where he unvoted.BS. There is no possible way you could have misread it that way. Point to the exact lines where you thought he said that.
And I still think Jokerman should be able to clarify.
Still no mention of chains. So it's a pretty damn curious thing Leafsnail said. Not necessarily damning, but depending on how much of a hardass you want to be with Leafsnail you could easily say that he just revealed guilty knowledge.He's being a ridiculous hardass.
BS. There is no possible way you could have misread it that way. Point to the exact lines where you thought he said that.
You've just dropped quite a big tell here. I'm willing to bet Pandar told you that he said that, but then forgot to actually do it.
The question then becomes: Why would Pandar defend Zathras?
Wait... Zath only said he knew that Pandar was rbed, right? What's stopping him from saying that after Pandar told him in the scumchat, to avoid suspicion?
Which means Zath is dopp, not Exterminator. And that also explains why he didn't know what was in the blocking pm, since he didn't get it.
Yes! It's all falling into place now. Pandar, Zath, and Leaf are three of our scum team. This also explains why Leaf wants Zath to survive so badly.
And I still think Jokerman should be able to clarify.
This doesn't make much sense, honestly. You're accusing Zathras of bussing Pandarsenic because...? I can't think of any compelling reason for a Zathras/Pandarsenic scum team to do that, since neither of them were under serious suspicion.I guess I slipped into speculation and forgot that Pandar wasn't under serious suspicion until after the claim by Zath.
Jokerman did a pretty good job with the flavor, but it's not 100% consistent with how I would have written it.A response to this to everyone in general: my night PM was a little off, but he fixed it. I'm willing to bet that if there were any other discrepancies, they were fixed as well. I would strongly suggest not basing your gameplay entirely or even mostly off this.
@Janus: Screw up more. Seriously, there's so little wrong with you it's actually kind of weird. Oh well. Feelings do not make reasons for lynching.Unvote.I'm ... not sure what to make of this ... thank you?
So let's say you think that I'm scum. Would you do everything in your power to get me lynched?Depends. Yesterday, I would have used my Assassin Bot on you (as I did on Org). Today, I would lynch Pandarsenic first. Tomorrow, I would do everything in my power to make sure that
Guys, lynch Pand. Zathras is a town Psychic Warden or the world's stupidest alien. Either way, lynching Pand is a much better use of time.Or a smart Dopp (maybe a Dopp Psychic Warden).
Lol, wat?Oh thank you so very much! (I'm being serious). So many people have this same problem (lose a post) and just give up and never bother to retype it. In the future, I would suggest typing your posts in notepad and saving every couple lines. It's rather helpful, much less likely to explode.
My computer just BSOD'd.
First time ever.
All I was doing was posting a reply to Kamina and listening to some Homestuck muzak.
Is... is this normal? Is Mafia cursed?
Now I have to retype this; goody.
That's mostly for the endgame and I'm pretty sure that we'd get a mod post saying that it was going to happen before it does. Don't worry about it. Expect the day to basically when the schedule says (in non-hammmer games like this one at least).Days will last for 48 hours or until everyone has voted (if there is a long period of inactivity after everyone votes I'll end the day to keep things moving).
I read that as "once everyone has cast a vote, the day insta-ends". Ah well, whatever.
Does *anyone* doubt that Pandar is a dopp? Seriously, anyone? All he's done since my last post is move his vote to the other suspected person while contributing nothing to the discussion. He's pretty much thrown in the towel here. There's no reason he shouldn't be lynched.
Whoo, managed to tell the girl I'm derp for how I feel without screwing up our friendship.Ahahaha. Waffling around now. Yeah, you're scum and have thrown in the towel.

Pandarsenic never said he was wrapped in chains, scumbucket.
At least not in the main thread. Can't say what's going on in scum chat.
Is Mafia typically more active on a Monday than a Sunday night?
Puppet, Web, Ottofar, Mish: Please state your opinion on the Pandar/Zath affair.

On the Zathras / Pandarsenic thing:
Right now I think that Zathras is a Psychic Warden and just didn't know about the flavor. He hasn't played in a Paranormal Mafia before, that's understandable. And the evidence on Pandarsenic is pretty bad. If anyone can step forward to claim an alternative hypthesis (or claim in PM to someone they trust), that would be shiny but otherwise the evidence is pretty damning.
Ottafar, I still think you should hang (including for points in the spoiler at the bottom), but we can deal with that tomorrow. Pandarsenic first. (Not that my vote is really necessary at this point)
For testing Zathras, I'll volunteer to be Wardened. It actually makes sense. As some of you may have guessed by my target, I'm a Military Mad Scientist and I choose Assassin Bot (which I used on Org). Thus, I'm essentially a Vanilla Townie now, so Zathras can block me without worrying about potentially blocking someone with an active role that may not want to reveal as such. I'll still get the roleblocked flavor if he's telling the truth and actually is a Warden.
If he is actually the Exterminator, we'll need to kill him, but at this point I think that either he'll kill a Dopp or the Dopps will kill him at some point, making it worth enough waiting until tomorrow to lynch him.
JTF, what do you make of all the crap I've been giving Leafsnail about? About his silence concerning Pandarsenic until prompted, his slip about Pandarsenic's stated flavor, about his choice of targets.I think that you have good points.
Does roleblock flavor come up no matter what, or is it only when you actually get blocked from doing a role? I'm not familiar with the night PM's or the flavor.85% sure. PMed the mods to ask just in case. If I remember correctly, I've done the same thing before in a previous round of Paranormal. (Although I could be hallucinating that)
Are you worried that openly volunteering for this might make you a target? I feel like there's too many ways that this plan can potentially go sour. Will we have a contingency plan?That's actually part of the point. For the moment, we'll assume that there's no longer a town Medium about and that Pandarsenic flips scum. (The first is reasonable but not assured because of rule changes this round IIRC, and the second raises a whole different can of worms we can deal with tomorrow).
Dude. Chill.Does *anyone* doubt that Pandar is a dopp? Seriously, anyone? All he's done since my last post is move his vote to the other suspected person while contributing nothing to the discussion.

Dude. Stop.
Puppet, Web, Ottofar, Mish: Please state your opinion on the Pandar/Zath affair.
Since I've been going on about it, I'll ask you: Do you think any of those players' silence about PandarsenicZathrasgate is scummy?
Dude. Stop.
This is like the second or third time this has happened. Do you think Kamina is doing it on purpose at this point? I find it kind of funny actually. Both ha-ha funny and suspicious funny. But the suspicious funny is kind of a stretch, I think.
Question: given Pandar's own admission twice, Leafsnail's curious confirmation, Meph's statement about Jokerman's flavour, and the bolded parts of P16 action PMs I highlighted (which included dizziness and sleep), do people still doubt I'm a warden? Because "block me just to prove you're not an alien" is rather useless if people no longer think that I'm one, yes?We know (or at least are rather sure) there's an Exterminator about. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't believe it. But it is. So it's a good chance.
In any case, we'll see. I do think attempting to block scum would be more useful than saving my own neck, but I will not make my choice until the day ends, and I won't reveal it until tomorrow, if I survive the night.This is a really bad idea. The whole point of knowing who you are going to block before it happens is so that we know you are't lying. If you are scum (either an Exterminator with an Operative or a Dopp), you could just as easily have one of your scum buddies lie for you. Not that that's not a possibility anyways, but at least saying what you're going to do beforehand helps.
In other things: JTF, I find your claim of Mad Scientist surprising, and your killing Org uncool. He was being useful, man! Not playing his useless derping game as usual, but posting paragraphs! If we add your unconcern about offing a townie (even after he proved useful), your suspiciously clean nose, your delay in voting Pandar until he was a lost cause (yeah, weekend, whatever), and your volunteering to be blocked, I think you are Pandar's scumbuddy. You are OK with lynching him now that he can't be saved, but if you convince me to block you the dopps can assign the night kill to someone else and hit for sure, yes? Last night, the dopp team could have agreed "Pandar, you do the NK; JTF, you use your bot on Org. We off two townies in one shot."No. He was playing his general useless game. He had about 3 posts the entire game that I would consider useful (I went back and checked) and that's a bit of a stretch. Once I unvoted him for it he went back to mostly being useless. Still think I made the right choice, although it's unfortunate that he turned out town.
Argembarger, Leafsnail is referring to this post:Actually, yeah, this does require an explanation. This is what the post actually says:
Still no mention of chains. So it's a pretty damn curious thing Leafsnail said. Not necessarily damning, but depending on how much of a hardass you want to be with Leafsnail you could easily say that he just revealed guilty knowledge.

Leafsnail: Please restate your case on Janus. Your Kamina case is clear enough, but your Janus case is murky.Well, basically: active lurking. If you look at most of his posts, you get a lot of text, a lot of lurker analysis, and a few questions, but basically no accusations. Then there's yesterday, when he voted based on what appeared to be policy (he later denied it) and FoS'd a bunch of lurkers. Attacking lurkers and lynching idiots is not going to win us the game.
Updating my most recent list in this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1732753#msg1732753): Right now, I'd like to see Pandarsenic, Ottofar, and then Leafsnail lynched in that order. All but the first are definitely subject to what happens between now and then. Mr.Person just feels usual for him, but I don't have much more than gut instinct on that one. Zathras can be bumped down a category pending confirmation as a Warden (see my previous (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1739353#msg1739353) (response to Mr.Person) and the second half of this one for why).I'm confused. If I'm in your top 3, why didn't you say anything against me in your previous post?
Well.
I guess Pandar might be a dopp. Not too sure.
Zathras, as stated, is probably an alien.
I'm gonna go sleep.
Well, worked myself up into a bit of a rage yesterday. I'll try and calm down.
Well.

Why did you flip the fuck out over it in the first place?I got angry more over everyone ignoring scum, but hey.
Blah blah overreactions are scummy blah blah.
Leafsnail: Fair enough. Do you buy his scientist claim?I'm 99% sure he never made such a claim, although it's certainly possible.
For testing Zathras, I'll volunteer to be Wardened. It actually makes sense. As some of you may have guessed by my target, I'm a Military Mad Scientist and I choose Assassin Bot (which I used on Org). Thus, I'm essentially a Vanilla Townie now, so Zathras can block me without worrying about potentially blocking someone with an active role that may not want to reveal as such. I'll still get the roleblocked flavor if he's telling the truth and actually is a Warden.
[About Zathras] He's lying because he didn't bring this up when the Day started, which any Town-aligned player would've.No, I was unsure about claiming, since if I could get him lynched without claiming, I wouldn't have to paint me as a target for the scum to kill. So I voted him and badgered him to answer questions; when he didn't, and it was clear I wouldn't have the time to press him until he cracked, I decided to claim the block. It was still pretty damned early in the day, though, wasn't it? I was in my second or third post of the day.
Look back at Zathras. He's made several mentions to lurkers and gone after them. He's even gone so far as to use the LurkerTracker several times in order to back up his calling them out. Yes, Janus, they do need to play, but he's gone solely after them using their lurking as an excuse.You are wilfully misrepresenting the facts: I spent the whole day one voting YOU, not lurkers. I've spent the whole day two voting Pandar, not lurkers, and fencing with Jim/JTF/etc. You are outright lying when you say I've "gone solely after them", and you know it. You know what liars are: scum.

Basically, he looks like scum who wants to avoid the bad parts of lurking (specifically, being lynched for it) while keeping the good parts (generally avoiding connections with other mafia members, not attracting much scrutiny).
Others that have recommended I go with the volunteers: I hear you, but I would feel more comfortable if there were more than two to choose from, one of whom may have a mindshield. Does anyone else wish to volunteer?
MOD, players with mind shields are still made aware of the attempt to block them, correct?
Well.... How is that a MIGHT? No, seriously, how? And you wonder why people aren't buying your electricity excuse.
I guess Pandar might be a dopp. Not too sure.

JTF: You claimed Mad Scientist. Don't those have mind shields? Would a mind shield prevent the block from getting to you? Also, you make a fair point about PMs, I will consider it.Okay, but that's a really anti-Town thing to do, don't you think? You have knowledge that could lead to a successful lynch, but you don't want to share it? Because you don't want to make yourself a target? You know what that sounds like to me? "I want to survive!" You're putting yourself ahead of the town.

Leafsnail: isn't this just as true, if not more so, of Webadict than of Janus?
Forgot to add: Webadict: if I block you tonight, will you admit it to the thread?Of course. I have nothing to hide. Are you planning on killing me tonight?
Whoever he blocks is actually irrelevant. He has to block somebody different Night 3, so blocking an Extie buddy only works once.Touche. I was really hoping that we could figure that part out by tomorrow.
Mm, right - if the lack of chains is a flavor error he'll still need to block twice more to be certain, though, so we know he didn't somehow pick his Exterminator even by chance.Couldn't you ask if it's a flavor error? I mean, if you're going to make us WIFOM ourselves, you could at least put some effort into it.
He should block you then JTF in succession then. Or the other.
And you're explaining because I'm procrastinating on amidtermpaper.

Yeah, let's go with that.
Actually, blocking his Exterminator buddy is great because if he roleflips, that puts anybody who claimed the chains-based flavor to be scum.

No, I'll decide what to do later, and we'll see where that leaves us tomorrow, but I'll only dance this dance once. The purpose of the power is not to dick about with it where it does no good, it's to prevent kills as it did last night. If you guys wish to lynch me for it, then go ahead, we'll discuss that when the time comes.
PPE: Web, that's exactly what I did, in my third post or so of the day: claim the block and achieve a successful lynch of scum. If it wasn't speedy enough for you, that's your problem, not mine; there was still ample time for discussion and it worked, so bugger off. And I didn't go after you for lurking, I went after you for not playing your town game. That's what I said, and you know it, so you are still lying scum.My town game? There's no way you can prove that without using your lurking excuse, you liar.
I did some! I went back and looked at Stun Bombs. And some other stuff. All in all, it's pretty obvious.You were going after me because I was "lurking." At least admit it. Now that I'm no longer busy, you can't even find a real target, so you're sticking with your lurker target. I mean, you say I'm lying, but it's true. You don't have any evidence on me, while I, on the other hand, have shown you to be an anti-Town scumbag Exterminator.
Oh, come on!
You did absolutely none of the foot work on that. You can't take credit for that.
You're up, Zathras. Let's hear what you did last night, because your head's on the chopping block unless you have a plausible explanation for why you decided to not follow the easy path to confirmation that was laid out for you or a plausible explanation of the night's events.He blocked me last night. I got the chains and all.
In the meantime, Leafsnail is still scum.
Hey Kamina, I plan to block you tonight, so you can confirm tomorrow that I am a warden as claimed (y'know, chains and all that). I don't want to do it to JTF, as I think he may be scum, or Jim as it would be too obvious.Ok, I'm not that powerful of a role anyway, so I'll go along with this. No funny business though. If you nk me and someone isn't blocked, then you will get lynched.
If you have a power role that would be severely impacted by a block tonight, or if you are a PWV or have sentry guns, please let me know and I'll choose a different target.
PS: Please keep this to yourself until tomorrow. I would prefer people don't know who I will target until after the fact.
So long as you're really warden, you have nothing to fear.
Right, so we'll do this then. Also, for the record, I just remembered that it wouldn't matter if you were a PWV, since the psychic block happens remotely, so that's OK in any case. Again, please keep this to yourself until the morning.
Cheers,

You're up, Zathras. Let's hear what you did last night, because your head's on the chopping block unless you have a plausible explanation for why you decided to not follow the easy path to confirmation that was laid out for you or a plausible explanation of the night's events.I'm curious as to how you jumped to conclusions so fast. Perhaps you have some kind of communication channel with obvscum JanusTwoFace, the other person who was suggested to be blocked?
I see nothing against it in the rules, so here is the full conversation:

You could know that he didn't block you, but he could easily have blocked me or someone else which was his plan for much of yesterday (still not a great plan IMO, but it does seem to be what happened).
In the meantime, Leafsnail is still scum.
You're crazy, you know that right? You're so completely wrong about me, but you can't stop now can you? Unfortunately, you're right about this, something feels off here.You're up, Zathras.

What are you talking about????
Whatever.
Leafsnail. You knew it was Psychic Warden block way yesterday when you read about it in obvscum chat.
Huh. Somehow I completely missed Jim's post right before my own (on it's own page maybe? I'm not sure). Anyways, you still need to answer both questions:
- Why did you vote Zathras?
- How could you know that Zathras didn't follow the plan?
Haha, the irony here is delicious.What are you talking about????
Whatever.
Leafsnail. You knew it was Psychic Warden block way yesterday when you read about it in obvscum chat.
Zathras said he would block you or JTF.
You somehow managed to vote him immediately, "knowing" he didn't block you or JTF (somehow).
The last part of your post makes no fucking sense. What the hell are you talking about?
Also: This was a dopp kill, right?
What happened to the exterminator?
The rules do not specify whether or not the Exterminator is required to kill every night. Did the Exterminator just take a no-kill night? If so, how often can that happen?He could have. But I see no reason for him to have done so.
Unless, the Exterminator DID get blocked, I suppose.
Hmm...

Hmm...
And before anyone suggests I'm the exterminator because I was blocked, you better explain why I was so eager to post that PM, and why I went along with Zathras's plan, among other things.
Because that's how everyone found Pandar, and because I didn't know that exterminators have natural mind shields.And before anyone suggests I'm the exterminator because I was blocked, you better explain why I was so eager to post that PM, and why I went along with Zathras's plan, among other things.
Why are you preemptively defending yourself from an accusation that nobody has leveled against you? You could have had that PM exchange to fool everybody, for all I know.

Haha, the irony here is delicious.I have no idea what you mean. I explained the slight mistake I made yesterday, and noone's taken issue with that explanation. If you want to, go ahead.
You both accuse for something related to scumchat, and both don't get what the other is talking about.
Jim means that you knew in advance that it was a warden block because you heard that it was from Pandar in the scumchat.
Ottofar is my vote for now, as there a possibility that Leafsnail is just raging townie who is absolutely convinced that JTF and I are scum.Well, you gave out sensitive role information to someone you thought was scum (and now to the town). Perfectly logical, right?
Speaking of that, do you still think I'm scum after what happened last night with Zathras, Leafsnail?
I'm just saying what Jim said, seeing as you said it made no sense. I think I may have misinterpreted you.Haha, the irony here is delicious.I have no idea what you mean. I explained the slight mistake I made yesterday, and noone's taken issue with that explanation. If you want to, go ahead.

Sensitive role info? All I said was that it wasn't that strong of a role. I found the advantage of avoiding a possible mislynch greater than that of my role. I see little sensitive about that.Ottofar is my vote for now, as there a possibility that Leafsnail is just raging townie who is absolutely convinced that JTF and I are scum.Well, you gave out sensitive role information to someone you thought was scum (and now to the town).

Zathras as scum doesn't really make any sense. As a doppelganger, he bussed his partner and rendered his ability basically useless for the rest of the game. As an alien, he chose a terrible tech choices and basically committed suicide (trading himself one for one with a doppelganger even though the dopps have more members than the aliens).
And yet you still try to cling on to the idea of lynching someone who's almost certainly a fairly powerful town role.
You're a dumbass.Hmm... what was it you said yesterday again?
I mean, my fucking goodness, do you really think I was seriously considering that as a likely possibility?
I know it doesn't make sense, you peanutbrained isle-dwelling bottomfeeder, but I think it's odd nonetheless that KaminaSquirtle is going out of his way to deny an accusation before it appears.
My interest in the scenario is piqued but I still don't think it's very likely, which is why my vote is on you and not on them.
Why did you flip the fuck out over it in the first place?
Blah blah overreactions are scummy blah blah.
Because that's how everyone found Pandar, and because I didn't know that exterminators have natural mind shields.And before anyone suggests I'm the exterminator because I was blocked, you better explain why I was so eager to post that PM, and why I went along with Zathras's plan, among other things.

What with Leafsnail hating on me as much as he can, I figured that's what he would claim next.
Hmm... what was it you said yesterday again?Why did you flip the fuck out over it in the first place?

But if you go out of your way to defend yourself from accusations that haven't occurred yet, you look jumpy. Jumpy people look like they have something to hide, so jumpy people look scummy.
Since you knew exactly what you were going to say to defend yourself, why did you bring it up in the first place? Since you were prepared, why not just wait for the accusation to come?
Well.This post demands explanation.
I guess Pandar might be a dopp. Not too sure.
Zathras, as stated, is probably an alien.
I'm gonna go sleep.
This made me pretty damn suspicious of him, and made me expect that he'd try to fakeclaim something. So then when the day finally came around, there was no Exterminator kill, and since I suspected him of being the Exterminator, I was half-expecting that Zathras was going to claim that he blocked the Exterminator which would have been ridiculous and would have clinched it that he was a lying fakeclaimer who should be lynched immediately. So I came out swinging today.So you jumped the gun somewhat more extensively than the times you've claimed others have done the same as you? At this point, I don't think you'd be crazy enough to try what I'm guessing, but that doesn't mean it doesn't seem suspicious.
Oh hey, it's day 3.This is a *very* active lurky post.
Lurkers best stop lurking, soon.
... <snip> ...
If Ottofar is a Survivor, he's really bad at it. Why would he try to defend Pandarsenic? If he was going to try to work with the Dopps, he could have done that before the lynch. I think he's just scum (and bad at that as well)....This post demands explanation.
While you're explaining it, please tell me if this explanation makes sense to you: You're an Alien Survivor who used Pandar's obvscumminess as an opportunity to come out to the scum team so you can help them win at LYLO.
Janus, your killing of Org was suspicious, as I said, plus your request to be blocked; your "missing" the point of Jim's first message of the day adds to this. I am not sure you are scum, but you are high on my list of possibilities.I didn't miss the point of his first post of the day, I missed the first post of the page here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1751834#msg1751834). It wasn't until later that he actually explained that he was assuming that you had gone off on your own because there was no Exterminator kill. So really you're going after me for the Org thing and ... what else? Nothing really.
But we can make it easier for you: replacements are hard to come by, and someone replacing MBP would face 600 posts and the town's animosity; since he's posting elsewhere, his lurking is the activity of scum, and should just hang for it instead of going through the replacement pains. I will support a lynch of MysteriousBluePuppet if people decide to go for it. I think Web is scummier, but MBP's absence hurts the game more. Hanging either of these scumbags is OK with me.If you want him lynched, vote for him. Hanging back until you see a consensus is scummy, even in a case like this. I'd rather see Ottofar either contribute something that isn't scummy or hang first.
Even if he comes back now, it is too late for him. I would go as far as to suggest people here who host their own games to remember his attitude this game and prevent him from joining games in the future. If only we had some sort of a thread to help mods keep track of people's attendance... but we don't seem to want that either.Not really going to help this game... But it's something to consider.
More substance on both of these will come later in the game day, I'm busy now.
I don't buy that either of you is town. Jim, your eagerness to jump on my case as the day started is scummy, and revealed suspicious knowledge: how did you know I didn't block Janus? Yes, I read your explanation, and I don't buy it. It seems you have other means of communication, and we know what that means.
No, I'll decide what to do later, and we'll see where that leaves us tomorrow, but I'll only dance this dance once. The purpose of the power is not to dick about with it where it does no good, it's to prevent kills as it did last night. If you guys wish to lynch me for it, then go ahead, we'll discuss that when the time comes.

I can't guess his motivation- that is why I asked him for an explanation. I'm quite interested in hearing it.If Ottofar is a Survivor, he's really bad at it. Why would he try to defend Pandarsenic? If he was going to try to work with the Dopps, he could have done that before the lynch. I think he's just scum (and bad at that as well)....This post demands explanation.

As for my suspicions, Ottofar and Leafsnail top the list for me. Mish and MBP's lurking has me worried though. If they don't come out of the woodwork and start contributing soon, my vote will shift to one of them.You neglect to mention WHY you're voting him. I read back quite a ways and never saw you express a suspicion of him, so I must ask why you think so now. I also note you're leaving a convenient out for your suspicions of Leafsnail, in case he turns town on you.
Ottofar is my vote for now, as there a possibility that Leafsnail is just raging townie who is absolutely convinced that JTF and I are scum.
Speaking of that, do you still think I'm scum after what happened last night with Zathras, Leafsnail?

As for Leafsnail, he's starting to look less and less scum to me. He has been a bit reactionary and tunnely, but I've been realizing that's just how he is.
That sounds like a big "Fuck you!" to the people who wanted to confirm him.It doesn't. It's responding specifically to Pandarsenic's suggestion that he spend the entire rest of the game wasting his ability on volunteers.
Thanks for interjecting on Zathras' behalf. Again.
Does this really seem like something a townie would do? Make up his mind early on Day 1, and then never change his mind, or even his focus?If he's found scum? Yes.
Ottofar:It could, but no.Well.This post demands explanation.
I guess Pandar might be a dopp. Not too sure.

So really you're going after me for the Org thing and ... what else? Nothing really.
I still don't get the bit why you wouldn't actually want to block me if you thought I was scum. It's not like you have a physical role that would set off a PWV (if I were lying, but that would mean someone else killed Org and hasn't claimed it...).
I will support a lynch of MysteriousBluePuppet if people decide to go for it. I think Web is scummier, but MBP's absence hurts the game more. Hanging either of these scumbags is OK with me.If you want him lynched, vote for him. Hanging back until you see a consensus is scummy, even in a case like this.
Either that or you really think that you have the entire Dopp team + the Exterminator nailed down (pro tip: in any game, if you think this you're either scum or wrong 95% of the time)
It is, isn't it? Offtopic question: why did you never submit Sorcerer's I results to the new attendance tracking thread?Even if he comes back now, it is too late for him. I would go as far as to suggest people here who host their own games to remember his attitude this game and prevent him from joining games in the future. If only we had some sort of a thread to help mods keep track of people's attendance... but we don't seem to want that either.Not really going to help this game... But it's something to consider.

I assume you are not going to follow along with the plan.
But no, you are right. The only plausible explanation for why I came out voting for you today is because I read about it in scumchat, instead of the astronomically improbable explanation that when you defiantly stated you were not going to follow the plan I believed you.
To put it bluntly, Zathras, why are you being retarded? You don't have to believe what I say, but you do need to think it through. Why is it so improbable that I believed you when you were being a defiant fucker about being confirmed?
I thought I did, but apparently I only implied it and didn't say it explicitly.No you didn't. You avoided it until someone other that I pointed it out. And I can see why. Whichever way you answer, you would put yourself in trouble. If you suddenly didn't find me scum, then you would be accused of giving up way too quickly, and waffling. Or so you would think. I personally could see a townie not finding me scum after that, but maybe others' opinions would differ. And if you still find me scum, as you have said you do, you open a new can of worms.
Yes, I do.
And I'll interject on the behalf of a virtually confirmed townie whenever I like, thank you.Lies. He's not at all a virtually confirmed townie if I'm scum. We could very easily be scumbuddies. Yet you don't even mention this possibility at all.

I personally could see a townie not finding me scum after that, but maybe others' opinions would differ. And if you still find me scum, as you have said you do, you open a new can of worms.
This is my implication (which was in answer to the initial question). I probably should've put "Yes, I think you're scum" in the middle, but whatever.Speaking of that, do you still think I'm scum after what happened last night with Zathras, Leafsnail?Well, you gave out sensitive role information to someone you thought was scum (and now to the town). Perfectly logical, right?
And I'm not claiming you're the exterminator, because the exterminator has a mind shield.
So, I'm scum, eh? Then there's a good possibility of Zathras being scum too. However, you said of him:There's no logic in that train of thought at all.And I'll interject on the behalf of a virtually confirmed townie whenever I like, thank you.Lies. He's not at all a virtually confirmed townie if I'm scum. We could very easily be scumbuddies. Yet you don't even mention this possibility at all.
In fact, if I'm scum, then a whole a shit ton of possibilities arise around Zathras. But you find it easier to call him a virtually confirmed townie, completely ignoring all said possibilities.
His lack of comment on such a large development is worrying. He deliberately ignores my question, then gives a three word answer. A townie would have brought it up immediately, considering the possibilities arising from my being scum, that is, Zathras being scum too. He also ignores all the questions presented by such a belief, such as: if I am scum, and Zathras is town, why didn't I lie about Zathras, tell everyone that he didn't block me, so as to get a townie lynched? Maybe he can think up a good answer to that question. But, the point remains that he didn't bring any of this up earlier, despite it being critical to town success. Only scum would want to sweep something like this under the carpet.I did answer it immediately, just without the explicit bit you wanted. So I added to explicit bit you wanted. Look above for why the Zathras bit of your argument is bullshit.
You're scum, Leafsnail. This slip shall be your end.This entire thing is quite funny, actually.
Thoughts on Jim: I'll keep this short, since I find Leafsnail scum and Jim scum to be mutually exclusive. Jim had me suspicious because of his eagerness to jump on Zathras, as if he had some sort of communication with JTF. (This has already been brought up by Leafsnail.) Another reason was I was starting to get the feeling Jim was focusing on Leafsnail too much. But I don't think both he and Leafsnail are scum. I'll be paying close attention to him nevertheless.
Mod: When did MBP respond to your prod? He still hasn't posted and I'm getting sick of it. It may be time for a forced replace/modkill.
I'm... gonna have to agree with Leafsnail here. It doesn't make any sense for a townie to come out and start going "I could be scum! And if I'm scum, he's scum too! We're scum together, or something! Or maybe not, who knows!?"So, I'm scum, eh? Then there's a good possibility of Zathras being scum too. However, you said of him:There's no logic in that train of thought at all.And I'll interject on the behalf of a virtually confirmed townie whenever I like, thank you.Lies.

His being virtually confirmed has nothing to do with your alignment at all. The reason he's almost certainly not a doppelganger is that that would mean he got one of his buddies lynched and rendered his role (one of the best roles for dopps) useless for the entire game. The reason he's almost certainly not an alien is because an alien block is one shot, and so claiming a block on Pandarsenic would be, at best, delayed suicide.
Notice that your alignment doesn't affect either of these. And the fact that you spin hypotheticals about the two of you being scum makes me more sure you're scum and he isn't.
You're scum, Leafsnail. This slip shall be your end.This entire thing is quite funny, actually.
Your main problem seems to be that you think I ignored your question. Ok, fair enough - you should've voted me to get an answer (maybe calling me scum in the process). But you don't. In fact, you don't vote me until it's absolutely clear I think you're scum. THEN you get annoyed about me missing it, THEN you make a complete U-turn on everything and start voting me again.
In other words, this is one of the most blatant OMGUSs you can possibly do. Somehow, I think that if I said "No, I don't think you're scum" you wouldn't have this reaction.
All Mad Scientists have access to the Mind Shield.As in, you would be perfectly capable of fulfilling all your doppelganger functions, in spite of being targeted by Zath. Confirming that your mind shield blocked a block would help nobody. It may have confirmed Zathras, and it may have confirmed that you were, indeed, a mad scientist, but if anything, it's a gambit to make yourself look more townish for no real concrete reason. Or, a chance to lie about it to get someone else lynched AND simultaneously avert the town's attention away from you.
Your offer to be a Psychic Warden target was also useless, as, according to the rules,QuoteAll Mad Scientists have access to the Mind Shield.
Jim
-Aggressive as hell. But he's been getting so many effective results. I'm almost certain he's town.

Mad Scientists do not automatically get a Mind Shield. It is an option always available to them, but they would have to take it in lieu of their other tech.Jim
-Aggressive as hell. But he's been getting so many effective results. I'm almost certain he's town.
If you think my results are effective, then why don't you share my suspicions? This doesn't add up.
You're buddying me. Now that I have cause to look over your posts, I don't generally find them to be exceptionally stellar. Lots of weak pokes, lurker prodding, general lack of strong suspicions. Additionally, I don't like it when people assume the moral high ground in Mafia games. It gives them a position to attack people, but it does absolutely nothing in helping find scum. Thus, scum like to do it.
*sniff*
I'm thinking you might be scum, Argembarger. Why are you buddying me,
Calm down. Just because somebody says you're acting like town doesn't mean they're buddying you.
and why didn't you bring up this JTF stuff earlier, like when you read it?I didn't think anything of it at the time. It slipped past me during the whole Zathras-is-an-alien-or-maybe-he-isn't affair, and rereading it now brought it to my attention. I don't think the time difference makes my points any less valid.
People have had the exact same problems that you do now, and they brought it up with him, so why all of a sudden do you have a problem with it?Yes, they brought it up with him, and I found his defense to be... well, nothing at all, actually. Deflection, if anything. My problem is that everyone just seems to have gone "Oh, you mean we can't attack you for killing town? ok then" and walked away.
If you were going to have a problem with it for moral considerations or whatever it is you suspect him for this would've occurred to you a lot earlier.

"moral problems"? I don't have moral problems, just practical ones. Why would a town member waste their one shot kill on someone just because they don't like their playstyle? That doesn't do anything but hurt town, unless the target of the kill turns out to be scum. Org didn't turn out to be scum. Killing him without having legitimate suspicions was a horrible idea and Janus is either scum or horrible town. Without further explanation from him, perhaps some links to posts revealing why he thought Org was legitimately scum instead of just annoying to him, I'm going with scum.
If you think my results are effective, then why don't you share my suspicions? This doesn't add up.
Your offer to be a Psychic Warden target was also useless, as, according to the rules,QuoteAll Mad Scientists have access to the Mind Shield.
Slow the hell down.
Mad Scientists do not automatically get a Mind Shield. It is an option always available to them, but they would have to take it in lieu of their other tech.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh having Org alive is not exactly helpful to the town either. JTF saved everybody the trouble (or the scapegoat) of lynching Org.
Saving your one shot kill until you're sure that somebody is scum is a bad move, because you might die in the night and not get a chance to use it. Better to use it sooner rather than later.
Argembarger: The traditional uses of a scum assassin bot is to use it right at LYLO to turn it into a scum win- the town usually uses it early before they get killed. It's not a vindication of his alignment, but it does knock him down on the suspicion list a bit, at least.
And another thing: You're condemning the action for how it turned out, instead of for what JTF knew and thought at the time he did it, which is the correct way to determine whether an action is scummy or not.
By lynching Leafsnail.Your arguments seem to be:
And I'll interject on the behalf of a virtually confirmed townie whenever I like, thank you.Virtually confirmed Psychic Warden? Yes. Virtually confirmed townie? No. (I will give you likely townie though, it depends on the rest of the scum team. I can see a Pandarsenic bus happening with 1 or 2 possible teams).
Have you considered the possibility that you're wrong? (Seriously, I can't tell if you have or haven't). Because if you do manage to lynch me, it's going to look *really* problematic for you tomorrow.Does this really seem like something a townie would do? Make up his mind early on Day 1, and then never change his mind, or even his focus?If he's found scum? Yes.
It could, but no.This ... is all you have? A *lot* has happened that you are completely continuing to ignore for two game days now. In the future, please don't sign up if you aren't going to play.
Also, explanation could be posting exhausted, just to check in at the day end.
And the lack of chains. And me not thinking about Pandar until then.
As my note to Kamina made embarrassingly clear, the non-physicality of the thing was not immediately obvious to me until I reread my role PM in preparation of sending the night action. This is my first paranormal, so it being a remote action was not clear on my mind. Yes, I was worried you were setting me up to be killed by sentry guns or somesuch, but this was a baseless worry.This I'll give you. There are a lot of little details that it's easy enough to miss in the ruleset. Now you know.
They should both be hanged, but for different reasons. Web is the scummiest, so I'm voting him as that's how one plays the game -- lynch the scummiest. MBP hanging, on the other hand, is more of a meta-game argument: his absence hurts the game, and his replacement would give a scummy player an unwarranted clean slate; the game would proceed better if he hangs. He is certainly scummy enough to deserve to hang. But I only have one vote, so I'm telling people that if we wish to pursue a meta-gaming lynch for the benefit of all players, I'll support it. It's better than having two inactive players murking the waters; it interferes with all our abilities to successfully scumhunt or narrow possibilities down. The game would be better with him gone, so if I can help make it so, I will.Read what you wrote here (especially the green parts) and remember the main reason you think I'm scummy...
Diving back through the thread history was very refreshing. How in the bloody hell did you get off this easily so far? You kill Org, for a stupid reason. ... This is not a defense. Attacking you for killing Org is perfectly legitimate, as that is a MAJOR, SERIOUS EVENT THAT HAPPENED.Oh good. I point out that you're being active-lurky. You know this is scummy, so you fix your behaviour. But then you come out swinging at me. :( Not at all what I was hoping for, but it's a good start.
Yes, they brought it up with him, and I found his defense to be... well, nothing at all, actually. Deflection, if anything. My problem is that everyone just seems to have gone "Oh, you mean we can't attack you for killing town? ok then" and walked away.I agree with you that I haven't provided a terribly strong defense. But I disagree that this is a bad thing. It isn't a terribly strong point to attack (from any of the previous times or from you), thus it doesn't merit a terribly strong defense.
Hey, guys. The combination of Thanksgiving and no internet has led me to not posting. I have looked over the thread, and I'll post later today with something more, but I have one question for Zathras:Understandable, but do you plan on making it back by the end of the day? It's today in case you haven't noticed. If not but you do plan on contributing, request an extension. (I'd rather you posted today though)
I'm not sure I understand. It's better to randomly kill someone and have something like a 70+% chance of hitting town than it is to be patient and use it when the likelihood of nailing some scum is much higher? Why is that? It just seems to me that I would want to avoid taking out a townsperson, even if it means I get lynched before I used the bot. Two townies dying < one townie dying < one townie dying and one dopp dying < a dopp dying.If it were completely random, that would be a bad thing. If I thought it was completely random, I wouldn't have done it. Your order of how good things are is great and all, but completely misses the point. There are far more town than scum, so we can take risks at the begining. It's towards LYLO that risks get far more dangerous.
1. Org suspected him. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1702860#msg1702860)1. I can't guarantee this, but I'm guessing that Org suspected me because I was attacking him. That's classic behaviour in anyone, more so in Org.
2. Even he admitted Org was being much less 'orglike' than usual. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1703768#msg1703768)
i'm there, reading p page 42 now. Will be there shrotlySame thing as webadict earlier. Welcome back, understandable that you posted less over the Holiday. But you had better post something by the end of the day or request an extension.
Extend until we're actually lynching scum (preferably Janus, since he's already got two votes).As much as I disagree with you in general, I can agree with (the first part of) this. Extend.
i'm there, reading p page 42 now. Will be there shrotly
I'm not sure I understand. It's better to randomly kill someone and have something like a 70+% chance of hitting town than it is to be patient and use it when the likelihood of nailing some scum is much higher? Why is that? It just seems to me that I would want to avoid taking out a townsperson, even if it means I get lynched before I used the bot. Two townies dying < one townie dying < one townie dying and one dopp dying < a dopp dying.
one question for Zathras: If you wanted to stop scums, why did you bother to tell Kamina that you were blocking him? That's stupid! That means if Kamina is scum, you've turned a 33% chance of blocking scum into 0%. Are you really trying to block scum, or just cover your own hide?
I decided it was a good idea to waste my action one night if it would help assuage doubts, but once is enough. The blocking will be henceforth used how I decide is best, with the intent of preventing another kill and nailing more scum.
I mean, I might ask why, say, you're repeatedly defending JTF, who isn't remotely confirmed. Or why you've been tunneling me constantly for the last 2 days. But hey, whatever.Why is it bad for him to tunnel you but OK for you to tunnel Janus and Jim? Your hypocrisy is suspicious.
Virtually confirmed Psychic Warden? Yes. Virtually confirmed townie? No. (I will give you likely townie though, it depends on the rest of the scum team. I can see a Pandarsenic bus happening with 1 or 2 possible teams).It'd just be dumb though. The Strong Doppelganger and the Psychic Warden both presumably have high weights, so it would leave the dopps completely crippled, and possibly open to a gamebreaker later.
Have you considered the possibility that you're wrong? (Seriously, I can't tell if you have or haven't). Because if you do manage to lynch me, it's going to look *really* problematic for you tomorrow.Wow, this is an unbelievably convincing argument.
Points (Jim's made most of these already):Lol.
- It would be scummier to hold back my night kill until LYLO, although waiting until Day 2 or 3 would have been reasonable.Wow, amazing! It's almost like you thought all this through last night when making your decision as to who to kill!
- I don't have a Mind Shield. It would have been random chance if I had.
- I thought there was a reasonable chance Org was scum.
- He's risky because he's difficult to lynch.
- If I were scum, I wouldn't have killed Org. (Yes, this is WIFOM. It's also true)
If it were completely random, that would be a bad thing. If I thought it was completely random, I wouldn't have done it. Your order of how good things are is great and all, but completely misses the point. There are far more town than scum, so we can take risks at the begining. It's towards LYLO that risks get far more dangerous.I'm curious - how come this "I thought he was probably scum" didn't manifest at all in day one? Other than you accusing him of lurking, but you accused everyone of something minor like that.
1. I can't guarantee this, but I'm guessing that Org suspected me because I was attacking him. That's classic behaviour in anyone, more so in Org.Slipup. The link you're referring to happened in RVS. But go ahead and overexplain it if you want.
2. I think I responded to this point already. He did get better for a bit when I prodded him for it (which you've just done as well), but then he slid back by the end of the day.Not that anyone could tell, since you DON'T POST CONTENT IN ANY OF YOUR POSTS
The second part bothers me though. You seem to want to lynch me no matter what and you're using the fact that I have two votes on me to back that up? By that same logic, we should lynch you, yes?Man, even when you're trying to take me out of context, that doesn't work. I'm saying that we need to lynch scum, and that since you're scum who happens to already have two votes (and we only have 24 hours left), you're the best to be lynched today.
Leafsnail:It's not a scumtell. I'm pointing out his use of it as a reason why his entire case against me is bullshit (look at the quote I'm responding to).I mean, I might ask why, say, you're repeatedly defending JTF, who isn't remotely confirmed. Or why you've been tunneling me constantly for the last 2 days. But hey, whatever.Why is it bad for him to tunnel you but OK for you to tunnel Janus and Jim? Your hypocrisy is suspicious.
As asked ( and finally delivered )Thank you. Now don't disappear. You have to interact with people.
I'm not entirely convinced on your Psychic Warden tell. i dont remeber seeing the mod post about your Kamina block ( if i just missed it then by all means point the page).This isn't something that is publically posted. Just in the night PMs to the blocker and the blockee. And the only way the alien scenario makes sense at this point is if Zathras and Kamina are the Exterminator and Operative, but I doubt it.
if you arent scum, you can just post the pm and all is good. Just trowing your defence like that sounds like a suspiciously specific denial. Oh hey guys, if you guys are wondering, i'm totally NOT an alien. No chance. Nope, nothing alien to see here.What PM? He can't post any PMs from the mods (at least none that we'd be interested in), that's against the rules... He already posted what he could from Zathras and they don't look faked.
People, what are your views on Web as scum now? Why is he getting a free pass? Once again, he has posted, but done nothing at all to hunt or to favour town, except for attacking those who were attacking him. So far it has only been me and Mr. Person... funny how he turned out dead this morning.Scummier the longer he goes without posting. If he doesn't post within the next few minutes, then he would have missed the day end without posting. It's unusual for webadict to be this quite after Day 1.
Argembarger: If you're so concerned about a tiebreaker, why aren't you pressing the people who are in the tie? With your unvote, that's Otto and Leaf.I'm pretty sure you've got that bass-ackwards. He said that there's an extension, so we have 24 more hours to worry about a tied vote.
Quite frankly, anyone who's still seriously floating a Zathras lynch needs an extremely good, specific explanation. Not vague bullshit to try and get rid of a town role.Who's trying to float a Zathras lynch exactly? All I'm doing is remembering that he's not quite a confirmed townie for potential future use. You, on the other, seem absolutely convinced that you're right, both in my alignment and Zathras'.
I'm curious - how come this "I thought he was probably scum" didn't manifest at all in day one? Other than you accusing him of lurking, but you accused everyone of something minor like that.It did.
Slipup. The link you're referring to happened in RVS. But go ahead and overexplain it if you want.RVS sure... But I'd already attacked him. He (Org) even quoted it in that link.
Man, even when you're trying to take me out of context, that doesn't work. I'm saying that we need to lynch scum, and that since you're scum who happens to already have two votes (and we only have 24 hours left), you're the best to be lynched today.What do you think about Ottofar?
The part of reasoning you're missing from your counterpoint is the "he's scum" bit. And if you think I'm scum, great - vote me. If you don't, stop bullshitting.I only have one vote to cast.
Who's trying to float a Zathras lynch exactly? All I'm doing is remembering that he's not quite a confirmed townie for potential future use. You, on the other, seem absolutely convinced that you're right, both in my alignment and Zathras'.Well, if you aren't suggesting his lynch, why are you and Jim wasting so much time attacking him and undermining him?
It did.(denying reality)
RVS sure... But I'd already attacked him. He (Org) even quoted it in that link.Ahah. So, was it a policy attack or an attack because you thought he was scum?
What do you think about Ottofar?Since he's a lurker, I think he's an excellent mislynch candidate for you.
I only have one vote to cast.Yeah, but you actually claim to have real reasons I'm scum, rather than vague lurker bullshit. Or do you? Again, it's impossible to tell because YOU NEVER TAKE A POSITION ON ANYTHING
He mentions needing to grab new suspicions, calling me out of character, but overall DROPPING THE ATTACK. I do not contend that this is proof of my being Town. But, it goes a long way towards refuting Zathras's argument against me.Mr.Person, why were you and Zathras trying to get webadict lynched for stupid meta shit yesterday? And why were you focusing your lurker hunting efforts on webadict when there's a rogue's gallery of abhorrent lurkers this game who had even less excuse than webadict?
It was very out of character for Webadict to be lurking. Sure, he had an excuse, but the posts he did make were very passive and weak. Now you can make all the excuses you want, but the only reason I'm going to unvote for that is if he started acting different. Which he has, by the way, so no more Webadict vote for me. At least for now. Actually, ugh, I hate playing with Webadict. It's like trying to read a foreign language or solve a crazy hard logic problem. You know it's possible, but you just can't figure how.So you're absolutely, 100% sure that you have scum? Because otherwise you're tunneling something hard here and it's scummy.I don't like how you've locked on to me and Janus. It's like an excuse to not contribute to the rest of the game.I will keep voting scum until they die. Simple as that.
Really now, tunneling became scummy? When did that happen? Last I checked, tunneling was a towny action to lynch a player he/she is sure is scum, or if you're ToonyMan, to put pressure on that player so you can figure out that player's alignment.
But alright, tell me this, JanusTwoface. If you were really, really sure that SHAD0Wdump is scum, why wouldn't you tunnel him until he dies?Mr.Person: If you were a Military Scientist, which tech would you pick and why?
Assassin drone. I'd tell myself I'd wait until lylo and piss off the whole town by using it to replace our lylo lynch, but I'd chicken out and use it the night before if it's mylo.
If you wanted to know who I'd kill, probably Webadict. Not only do I have an inkling he's scum, I'd never be able to get him lynched. At least that's what I'd do now. Not very shocking since I need to get some different suspicions now.
I see nothing against it in the rules, so here is the full conversation:Like I said before: Zathras had no need to warn the victim of his roleblock about it. Doing so seems to only cover his own hide, as usually.Hey Kamina, I plan to block you tonight, so you can confirm tomorrow that I am a warden as claimed (y'know, chains and all that). I don't want to do it to JTF, as I think he may be scum, or Jim as it would be too obvious.Ok, I'm not that powerful of a role anyway, so I'll go along with this. No funny business though. If you nk me and someone isn't blocked, then you will get lynched.
If you have a power role that would be severely impacted by a block tonight, or if you are a PWV or have sentry guns, please let me know and I'll choose a different target.
PS: Please keep this to yourself until tomorrow. I would prefer people don't know who I will target until after the fact.
So long as you're really warden, you have nothing to fear.
Right, so we'll do this then. Also, for the record, I just remembered that it wouldn't matter if you were a PWV, since the psychic block happens remotely, so that's OK in any case. Again, please keep this to yourself until the morning.
Cheers,
~z
No, I was unsure about claiming, since if I could get him lynched without claiming, I wouldn't have to paint me as a target for the scum to kill. So I voted him and badgered him to answer questions; when he didn't, and it was clear I wouldn't have the time to press him until he cracked, I decided to claim the block. It was still pretty damned early in the day, though, wasn't it? I was in my second or third post of the day.He's putting his own life above the survival and winning of the Town. Also, he seems blissfully ignorant that the scum would clearly know that someone gunning for them would know who blocked them. You're not trying to help the Town. But, why? What has you so wound up that you must go after lurkers and safe your own skin?
Wouldn't this also imply that YOU know JanusTwoface hasn't been blocked, Leafsnail? In fact, why go after JanusTwoface at all? It'd make more sense to vote Jim Groovester, the one who's making accusations about Zathras not following the plan.You're up, Zathras. Let's hear what you did last night, because your head's on the chopping block unless you have a plausible explanation for why you decided to not follow the easy path to confirmation that was laid out for you or a plausible explanation of the night's events.I'm curious as to how you jumped to conclusions so fast. Perhaps you have some kind of communication channel with obvscum JanusTwoFace, the other person who was suggested to be blocked?
Webadict: I'm curious on your views of what's going on. Three questions in particular:Leafsnail is acting odd. I suppose up until now I haven't been giving this game as much attention as it deserves, but he seems to be doing the same thing as Zathras. He's choosing one target and tunneling. I'll take a better look at him after this, as I'm currently responding in a catch-up mode sort of fashion.
- What do you think of Leafsnail?
- Why do you think there were two kills N1 and one kill N2?
- In your experience with Jim Groovester, what's the craziest gambit you've seen him try?
One, Exterminators can't be blocked. Two, don't overexplain. Three, calm down. Four, don't tell people to claim.The rules do not specify whether or not the Exterminator is required to kill every night. Did the Exterminator just take a no-kill night? If so, how often can that happen?He could have. But I see no reason for him to have done so.
Unless, the Exterminator DID get blocked, I suppose.
Hmm...
I think he was blocked. Anyone other than Zathras who blocked last night better claim.
And before anyone suggests I'm the exterminator because I was blocked, you better explain why I was so eager to post that PM, and why I went along with Zathras's plan, among other things.
Hmm. Zath's clearly not a dopp, and I tend to buy his warden claim. I have trouble seeing a Kamina/Zath exty-op combo, so I'll have to ponder Kamina's case. In the mean time...This continues why I believe you to be a Doppelganger. It's these subtle phrases you throw in. It unnerves me. Something about you just reeks of scum.
Ottofar:Well.This post demands explanation.
I guess Pandar might be a dopp. Not too sure.
Zathras, as stated, is probably an alien.
I'm gonna go sleep.
While you're explaining it, please tell me if this explanation makes sense to you: You're an Alien Survivor who used Pandar's obvscumminess as an opportunity to come out to the scum team so you can help them win at LYLO.
Mish hasn't posted since the 19th, and probably needs to be replaced.
MBP has no such excuse. You're willfully ignoring this thread since you were just on the forum. Get in here or die.
Thank you Kamina for posting that; I'm glad we can move on.Of course you'll go after me again. When haven't you? I really don't have time for your crap. I can tell you're not committed to your arguments, because you even go on to say that I should be lynched, but you'll gladly lynch someone else. Is there anything else you'd like to say over and over again about me? Perhaps that I'm scum? I think maybe it'll allow you to get away with keeping yourself out of harm's way.
Webadict:
You are still at the top of my list. Your game has done nothing to help town; your posts have been devoid of content or hunting, except for attacking the one person who was attacking you; your attitude yesterday was suspicious; and your activity minimal, posting only often enough to not be accused of lurking, and yet doing next to nothing in those posts. I am pretty sure you are scum.
Janus & Jim:
I don't buy that either of you is town. Jim, your eagerness to jump on my case as the day started is scummy, and revealed suspicious knowledge: how did you know I didn't block Janus? Yes, I read your explanation, and I don't buy it. It seems you have other means of communication, and we know what that means.
Janus, your killing of Org was suspicious, as I said, plus your request to be blocked; your "missing" the point of Jim's first message of the day adds to this. I am not sure you are scum, but you are high on my list of possibilities.
More substance on both of these will come later in the game day, I'm busy now.
Mish & MBP:
MOD: I strongly request a forced replace or modkill for these two. People lurking for a couple of days is a challenge that the town must spot and stop. People not posting in a fucking week is something the Mod should remedy.
But we can make it easier for you: replacements are hard to come by, and someone replacing MBP would face 600 posts and the town's animosity; since he's posting elsewhere, his lurking is the activity of scum, and should just hang for it instead of going through the replacement pains. I will support a lynch of MysteriousBluePuppet if people decide to go for it. I think Web is scummier, but MBP's absence hurts the game more. Hanging either of these scumbags is OK with me.
Even if he comes back now, it is too late for him. I would go as far as to suggest people here who host their own games to remember his attitude this game and prevent him from joining games in the future. If only we had some sort of a thread to help mods keep track of people's attendance... but we don't seem to want that either.
Meph: Requesting prod on Webadict and Ottofar as well- neither have posted since day start.Whoa, kid. Don't you celebrate Thanksgiving?
Another 'blah blah blah vote wuba' post from Zathras. Let's see his questions:Janus, your killing of Org was suspicious, as I said, plus your request to be blocked; your "missing" the point of Jim's first message of the day adds to this. I am not sure you are scum, but you are high on my list of possibilities.I didn't miss the point of his first post of the day, I missed the first post of the page here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1751834#msg1751834). It wasn't until later that he actually explained that he was assuming that you had gone off on your own because there was no Exterminator kill. So really you're going after me for the Org thing and ... what else? Nothing really.
Yeah... I don't have much more than that on you, that's why I'm not voting you. You seem scummy to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'll be watching you closely, though.Quote from: JTFI still don't get the bit why you wouldn't actually want to block me if you thought I was scum. It's not like you have a physical role that would set off a PWV (if I were lying, but that would mean someone else killed Org and hasn't claimed it...).
As my note to Kamina made embarrassingly clear, the non-physicality of the thing was not immediately obvious to me until I reread my role PM in preparation of sending the night action. This is my first paranormal, so it being a remote action was not clear on my mind. Yes, I was worried you were setting me up to be killed by sentry guns or somesuch, but this was a baseless worry.Quote from: JTFI will support a lynch of MysteriousBluePuppet if people decide to go for it. I think Web is scummier, but MBP's absence hurts the game more. Hanging either of these scumbags is OK with me.If you want him lynched, vote for him. Hanging back until you see a consensus is scummy, even in a case like this.
They should both be hanged, but for different reasons. Web is the scummiest, so I'm voting him as that's how one plays the game -- lynch the scummiest. MBP hanging, on the other hand, is more of a meta-game argument: his absence hurts the game, and his replacement would give a scummy player an unwarranted clean slate; the game would proceed better if he hangs. He is certainly scummy enough to deserve to hang. But I only have one vote, so I'm telling people that if we wish to pursue a meta-gaming lynch for the benefit of all players, I'll support it. It's better than having two inactive players murking the waters; it interferes with all our abilities to successfully scumhunt or narrow possibilities down. The game would be better with him gone, so if I can help make it so, I will.Quote from: JTFEither that or you really think that you have the entire Dopp team + the Exterminator nailed down (pro tip: in any game, if you think this you're either scum or wrong 95% of the time)
I certainly don't think I have all the scum nailed down. In fact, I went as far as saying "I'm not sure you're scum", didn't I? Saying that I did, in the face of that statement in the post you were replying to, seems like a wilful misreading and misrepresentation of the statement, doesn't it? Also known as a "lie"...Quote from: JTFIt is, isn't it? Offtopic question: why did you never submit Sorcerer's I results to the new attendance tracking thread?Even if he comes back now, it is too late for him. I would go as far as to suggest people here who host their own games to remember his attitude this game and prevent him from joining games in the future. If only we had some sort of a thread to help mods keep track of people's attendance... but we don't seem to want that either.Not really going to help this game... But it's something to consider.When you say things like this:No, I'll decide what to do later, and we'll see where that leaves us tomorrow, but I'll only dance this dance once. The purpose of the power is not to dick about with it where it does no good, it's to prevent kills as it did last night. If you guys wish to lynch me for it, then go ahead, we'll discuss that when the time comes.
I assume you are not going to follow along with the plan.
But no, you are right. The only plausible explanation for why I came out voting for you today is because I read about it in scumchat, instead of the astronomically improbable explanation that when you defiantly stated you were not going to follow the plan I believed you.
To put it bluntly, Zathras, why are you being retarded? You don't have to believe what I say, but you do need to think it through. Why is it so improbable that I believed you when you were being a defiant fucker about being confirmed?
Nevermind, I see now that you were indeed too retarded to read my post in context, and merely went mad with rage at the thought that people weren't submitting to your will and following your commands. It wasn't scumchat, it was brain damage.
To make it clear for you: I don't take orders from you, boy. I will play how I choose, and your barking like a mad chihuahua has no bearing on my decision making process. I decided it was a good idea to waste my action one night if it would help assuage doubts, but once is enough. The blocking will be henceforth used how I decide is best, with the intent of preventing another kill and nailing more scum. Suggestions are welcome; orders can be shoved up the issuer's ass.
I think it laughable that people were actually thinking following Pandar's advice was good for town. Yeah, no ulterior motives there....
Webadict: please grace us with your presence. Questions for you: what is your read of JTF, Toaster and Arembarger? Would you support a lynch of MBP? Do you buy my warden claim now? Who do you think performed the Dopp kill last night? Do you have speculations on the lack of an exterminator kill? Who are the scummiest on your list at the moment? What have you done in favour of town in the entire game?
Kamina: Your line of attack is too heavy in WIFOM for my tastes. The blanket answer to "Why would I do this as scum" is "So you could say you wouldn't do that as scum." You wouldn't want to force a mislynch on Zath as that would almost certainly turn in to a lynch of you the next day. You could help cement his claim today (giving you town cred) and then kill him off tonight.For someone concerned about WIFOM, you pack it into this post.
Argembarger: The traditional uses of a scum assassin bot is to use it right at LYLO to turn it into a scum win- the town usually uses it early before they get killed. It's not a vindication of his alignment, but it does knock him down on the suspicion list a bit, at least.
Willful misreading? YOU TOLD HIM YOU WERE BLOCKING HIM AND ASKED HIM TO LOWER ANYTHING PROTECTING HIM! If that isn't self-preservation, I don't know what is. You're obviously caring that people think you're a Psychic Warden, but you're not okay with working with the Town. You're obviously trying to keep yourself alive or you wouldn't've tried to hide your role when you had almost PROVEN PANDAR SCUM or asked someone if it's okay to block them, in case they have something that kills you.one question for Zathras: If you wanted to stop scums, why did you bother to tell Kamina that you were blocking him? That's stupid! That means if Kamina is scum, you've turned a 33% chance of blocking scum into 0%. Are you really trying to block scum, or just cover your own hide?
Now it seems you're not even paying attention. This is what I said in the post to which you reply:I decided it was a good idea to waste my action one night if it would help assuage doubts, but once is enough. The blocking will be henceforth used how I decide is best, with the intent of preventing another kill and nailing more scum.
I know you are smart enough to know better, and engaged enough to remember the whole "is he or isn't he, should he be confirmed" conversation yesterday, so I have no choice but to see this as a wilful misreading of the situation, hoping to steer the conversation away from you. Well, at least you are back. Please don't forget to answer my multiple questions (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1758056#msg1758056).
People, what are your views on Web as scum now? Why is he getting a free pass? Once again, he has posted, but done nothing at all to hunt or to favour town, except for attacking those who were attacking him. So far it has only been me and Mr. Person... funny how he turned out dead this morning.
Unless Mish is replaced before the Day's end (not looking too likely), then I don't think him killing anybody in the night if he's the Exterminator is going to be a problem.... That's true, but if he is the Exterminator, then we'll need to find out eventually.
Kamina: Your line of attack is too heavy in WIFOM for my tastes. The blanket answer to "Why would I do this as scum" is "So you could say you wouldn't do that as scum." You wouldn't want to force a mislynch on Zath as that would almost certainly turn in to a lynch of you the next day. You could help cement his claim today (giving you town cred) and then kill him off tonight.I'll admit my post was overly reactionary. What my point was is that my being scum would have some effect on the chances of Zathras being scum, yet Leafsnail didn't find this worth mentioning. It's a weaker argument than I initially thought, but I don't think it's completely useless.
No, I wouldn't have voted you for that answer, since it wouldn't have had serious ramifications upon the game.You're scum, Leafsnail. This slip shall be your end.This entire thing is quite funny, actually.
Your main problem seems to be that you think I ignored your question. Ok, fair enough - you should've voted me to get an answer (maybe calling me scum in the process). But you don't. In fact, you don't vote me until it's absolutely clear I think you're scum. THEN you get annoyed about me missing it, THEN you make a complete U-turn on everything and start voting me again.
In other words, this is one of the most blatant OMGUSs you can possibly do. Somehow, I think that if I said "No, I don't think you're scum" you wouldn't have this reaction.
Now, I have to decide whether or not to lynch Mish....you get to decide who gets lynched? No.
Unless Mish is replaced before the Day's end (not looking too likely), then I don't think him killing anybody in the night if he's the Exterminator is going to be a problem.This all you have to day on one of the scummiest posts of the game?
Lynch MBP? When you're the Exterminator? I laugh. I like how you phrase the next question too. "Do you buy my warden claim?" Seriously? What is this? Hey, Zathras, do you buy that I'm King now? Can you at least phrase it in the way so you're trying not to look like scum?
While i'm on the subject, find it weird that everyone forgot about all the day 1 crap and now just take his word like solid goldNow stop right here. My words have not been taking like 'solid gold'. Just look at Leafsnail, he's been tunneling me ALL GAME. Toaster doesn't like me. I don't think anyone fully trusts me.
if you arent scum, you can just post the pm and all is good.Seriously? You are acting on a Jetsuirrel/Ottofar level here. You are insane.
I'm not entirely convinced on your Psychic Warden tell. i dont remeber seeing the mod post about your Kamina block ( if i just missed it then by all means point the page)....
WebadictFunny, you two don't like talking about each other, do you?
Stays pretty much himself, i have no idea what he or may not be.
if Kamina flip town, we wont have killed a serviceable wardenOr we could, you know, actually lynch someone other than Zathras or I.
Wait, wait, wait, before I say something stupid here, what are you suggesting here? That we lynch him anyway?Unless Mish is replaced before the Day's end (not looking too likely), then I don't think him killing anybody in the night if he's the Exterminator is going to be a problem.... That's true, but if he is the Exterminator, then we'll need to find out eventually.
But, I'll start on an entirely different topic. Mr.Person. I think I can show that he inspected me on the first Night. I realize it's not provable without a Medium, but I'm almost certain he inspected me.
One, he was after me the first Day. He always seems to have some sort of problem with me or I with him. However, at the start of the next Day, he wasn't pushing me anymore. Looking at his first post shows that he finds me suspicious, but less so than usually and goes on to comment about my overall play style.It was very out of character for Webadict to be lurking. Sure, he had an excuse, but the posts he did make were very passive and weak. Now you can make all the excuses you want, but the only reason I'm going to unvote for that is if he started acting different. Which he has, by the way, so no more Webadict vote for me. At least for now. Actually, ugh, I hate playing with Webadict. It's like trying to read a foreign language or solve a crazy hard logic problem. You know it's possible, but you just can't figure how.He mentions needing to grab new suspicions, calling me out of character, but overall DROPPING THE ATTACK. I do not contend that this is proof of my being Town. But, it goes a long way towards refuting Zathras's argument against me.
Like I said before: Zathras had no need to warn the victim of his roleblock about it. Doing so seems to only cover his own hide, as usually.
Revealing it in the thread probably gives the dopps too much information, but this is an open PM game. At the very least, let someone (who you trust (yes, I realize this is Mafia, but there has to be someone)) know before the day ends who you're going to block via PM. They don't even have to reveal anything until tomorrow. Just let them know now, so we have a timestamped PM quote to verify it (yes, you can fake them but it will help)
Zathras has displayed numerous self-preservation symptoms. He has purposefully delayed release of information so that he would not be a target (naturally making an enemy or suspicious person out of himself). He has willfully gone after only one person, with ennui towards all other lynches. And he has placed his own well-being above stopping scum. He didn't tell anyone he was a Roleblocker so that he wouldn't be killed by the Doppelgangers.No. Again, I voted Pandar on my first post of the day, and claimed the block on the second (barring a minor correction in between). It left ample time for discussion, and it worked, so bugger off. As far as going after others, I've indicated other viable targets for my vote, but none has been more prevalent than you; this being your first honest effort to participate in the game was a large part of it.
Also, he seems blissfully ignorant that the scum would clearly know that someone gunning for them would know who blocked them. You're not trying to help the Town. But, why? What has you so wound up that you must go after lurkers and safe your own skin?I'm not helping the town?! I prevented a kill and lynched a tough dopp! How have you helped the town? Other than the grievous error of outing Pandar in my second post instead of the first, how am I overly protective of my own skin?
Ah, but... You can't leave your house, can you? What if a Reporter tracked you going to someone's house last Night? What if you took a Stun Orb with you as your Tech? I suppose nobody else has thoroughly inspected the rules? Stun Orbs can have two-uses for Medium Tech. Now, it seems like this is all making sense, right? You're the Exterminator, right? You don't have a Shield or anything to protect you, so you stayed at home, in case some Reporter wanted to see you leave, breaking into my house and killing me. Is that it?Yeah, that must be it. That what-if on top of what-if is meaningless WIFOM, it would still require Kamina to lie on my behalf, and, if I were the exterminator, making ridiculously bad tech choices and choosing not to kill.... Far-fetched doesn't begin to describe it.
And now that I'm done piecing things together, I'll move on.I don't think you are honest in your analysis. I think you are still lashing out at those who lash at you, lying through your teeth and knowingly misrepresenting facts in the process. Your Person point was the only good point in your defence you've made today; although it is interesting, I'll think about it for a bit before I decide whether to unvote you or not.
...U MAD.
Would you care to explain why I would lie about Zathras protecting if I wasn't scum with him? If he's an exterminator aligned alien, that means I am too. Yet you don't consider me scum.
Wait, wait, wait, before I say something stupid here,
Unless Mish is replaced before the Day's end (not looking too likely), then I don't think him killing anybody in the night if he's the Exterminator is going to be a problem.This all you have to day on one of the scummiest posts of the game?
Hell, I'm really damn tempted to. Every piece of logic in my mind is saying that you both being scum doesn't make sense, but my gut... my gut wants to see how you'll flip. And I listen to my gut.So do you trust logic, or your gut? Especially, if it is, as Webadict claims, LYLO.
Woah, Webadict post.Would you care to point out where I said you were lying? Seems like a Freudian slip if anything. Please, point it out. If you WANT to have a scumteam with him, then by all means, go. I have never seen someone freak out faster about me attacking someone else.
...U MAD.
Would you care to explain why I would lie about Zathras protecting if I wasn't scum with him? If he's an exterminator aligned alien, that means I am too. Yet you don't consider me scum.
This makes no sense. I'm tempted to call scum right here. You, after telling me not to be jittery, post this Mr Person inspecting you shit.
I don't like it. You're also exhibiting selective scumhunting, hunting almost exclusively for the exterminator.
Because if Mish is the Exterminator, Zathras would likely be Town, plus the entire situation makes sense. It seems you're freaking out over nothing.QuoteNow, I have to decide whether or not to lynch Mish....you get to decide who gets lynched? No.
You're tunneling Zathras like crazy, while the only thing you mention about me is advice. HE RBED ME LAST NIGHT. I AM NOT LYING. WHY DID I GET WARDEN FLAVOR IF HE'S EXTERMINATOR?... Okay...
CALL US BOTH SCUM, BUT CERTAINLY NOT JUST HIM. THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.... Right...
Seriously, Webadict, you're not helping town at all.
I'm starting to agree with Zathras. You've focused on him only, yet I know he's confirmed Physic Warden, ie NOT THE EXTERMINATOR.
In fact, screw you.... Uh huh...
Unvote, vote webadict.
Um, how about don't lynch MBP? Does that answer the question better, or would you rather take everything out of context?Unless Mish is replaced before the Day's end (not looking too likely), then I don't think him killing anybody in the night if he's the Exterminator is going to be a problem.This all you have to day on one of the scummiest posts of the game?
However, why has wuba ignored MBP? Look. He just deflected a question on him.Quote from: WebadictLynch MBP? When you're the Exterminator? I laugh. I like how you phrase the next question too.

I'm sorry, but you're just avoiding being useful. All you've done is point out some either old or obvious scumtells on me. Nothing else.
I see you didn't bother to absorb all of the text I wrote and instead jumped both to the end and conclusions. I'm stating that there's three possibilities for Exterminator, and I'm focusing on the one that needs focusing. Just because you turn a blind eye to everything, doesn't make it impossible.Wait, wait, wait, before I say something stupid here, what are you suggesting here? That we lynch him anyway?Unless Mish is replaced before the Day's end (not looking too likely), then I don't think him killing anybody in the night if he's the Exterminator is going to be a problem.... That's true, but if he is the Exterminator, then we'll need to find out eventually.
Yeah! This is more like the webadict we've come to expect and love! I do wish you snipped your quotes more, though.If there's a Medium, I'm sure he can confirm it. I'm almost 98% sure.But, I'll start on an entirely different topic. Mr.Person. I think I can show that he inspected me on the first Night. I realize it's not provable without a Medium, but I'm almost certain he inspected me.

I do not contend that this is proof of my being Town. But, it goes a long way towards refuting Zathras's argument against me.
Hmmm... Yes, I grant that he dropped his attack on day two. Whether this means he inspected you or what that means for your alignment is a different question, however.
Like I said before: Zathras had no need to warn the victim of his roleblock about it. Doing so seems to only cover his own hide, as usually.

I'm still saying that you waited so that you wouldn't be a target. And I have been busy. Finals and what-not. This is the first evening I actually got to write something.Quote from: webadictZathras has displayed numerous self-preservation symptoms. He has purposefully delayed release of information so that he would not be a target (naturally making an enemy or suspicious person out of himself).

You wrote in the PM to Kamina to lower any protection he would have, meaning you were trying to protect yourself.Quote from: webadictAlso, he seems blissfully ignorant that the scum would clearly know that someone gunning for them would know who blocked them.

How have you helped the town? Other than the grievous error of outing Pandar in my second post instead of the first, how am I overly protective of my own skin?
Perhaps there's more to it than that? You could have taken the Large Tech that grabs smaller Tech whenever. You could have taken the chance for Kamina to lie, as surviving one more Day grants you immunity to lynch. You could have taken the Stun Orbs from your Operative. You seem to be ignoring these.Quote from: webadictAh, but... You can't leave your house, can you? What if a Reporter tracked you going to someone's house last Night?

Far-fetched doesn't begin to describe it.
But, the Person defense is the least important. The important portion is that THERE IS AN EXTERMINATOR AND HE NEEDS TO DIE. If it's Mish, then there's little to worry about. But, I think you being the Exterminator is a very real possibility.Quote from: webadictAnd now that I'm done piecing things together, I'll move on.I don't think you are honest in your analysis.

This is what it boils down to: He thinks Zathras is scum, while I'm apparently town.... WHEN DID I CLAIM IT WAS LYLO!?!? ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!? GREATER AND MINOR DEITIES! YOUR BOILING STUPIDITIES BURNS MY EYES! THAT'S ALL THERE IS!
Explain how this makes any sense at all.
The issue here isn't him attacking Zathras, it's him making an effort to attack him while not considering pretty much the largest obstacle in this case.
Also: Why wouldn't I defend a (almost confirmed) townie (confirmed psychic warden anyway)? Webadict said himself that we need to lynch scum today, yet didn't confront the largest problem in his case.
Don't like it.Hell, I'm really damn tempted to. Every piece of logic in my mind is saying that you both being scum doesn't make sense, but my gut... my gut wants to see how you'll flip. And I listen to my gut.So do you trust logic, or your gut? Especially, if it is, as Webadict claims, LYLO.
Actually Kamina, my goal is to see the people i think are scum hanged. Right now, i don't buy Zathras claim. Really, you could be both aliens, or both dopps for all i know. I won't just stop feeling it by your only word. Really, if you were a townie (fat chance there, id say) would you not be irked if someone tested a claim with someone HE chose ? Think about it that way. no exterminator kill last night. Meaning he got blocked (seen nobody having that power for now, since mindshield would be innefective) or he just prefered not killing anybody. Really, the easiest out is to use your scunmfriend help and stage a fakclaim with the pms. I would not argue if i had the mod post in front of me with the date and hour, but all i got is your word.Sorry, but that is not flying with me. Hell, looking back at you guy interacting it's almost sickening. Zathras being all stern and fatherly when everyone was asking for your head, a real class act.Umm, no quoting the mod.
For the record, i dont think its LYLO yet, the exterminator has to kill some mafia eventually, we may have a guardien or war vet around to give town an edge. Still, need more scum to die soon or it's gonna go south.
Get those mods post, show me the flavor. Else get that rope ready.
POSTING FLAVOR TEXT IS AGAINST THE RULES!Calm down, kid. If anyone should be fuming, it's anyone that reads YOUR posts. It's like you hemorrhage incoherencies wherever possible.
HOW MANY TIMES MUST THIS BE POINTED OUT?!
THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME IS THAT YOU ONLY HAVE MY WORD!
Like I said, bad as/worse than Ottofar/Jetsquirrel.
At least they know the rules.
I chose Kamina as a) he had been one of the most vocal "lynch Zath the alien!" dudes; b) going for JTF or Jim would have been too obvious; and c) I was worried about being set up for a PWV/sentrygun kill or giving a plasma bomb a tempting target (baseless, since warding is a remote thing, but I missed that at the time). He has confirmed that the flavour was a warden's; for you to insist I'm an alien, he'd have to be my willing co-conspirator, which I think is pretty far fetched (or go ahead and re-read day two discussion; it was painful).There you have it.
This is what it boils down to: He thinks Zathras is scum, while I'm apparently town.
Explain how this makes any sense at all.
The issue here isn't him attacking Zathras, it's him making an effort to attack him while not considering pretty much the largest obstacle in this case.

Get those mods post, show me the flavor. Else get that rope ready.
Kamina: Wrong. You weren't listening to the post. I said that Stun Orbs can be turned into a two-use Stun Orb. That means you could easily be a normal townsperson. In fact, I have no idea why you're freaking out, because I explicitly stated all of this.Yes. But I thought stun orbs didn't give the chain flavor?
Would you care to point out where I said you were lying? Seems like a Freudian slip if anything. Please, point it out. If you WANT to have a scumteam with him, then by all means, go. I have never seen someone freak out faster about me attacking someone else.The basis of my argument was that the roleblock flavor mentioned chains, and that a stun orb block wouldn't.
Now, hunting for the Exterminator is slightly scummy, yes, but if I can find the Exterminator, he needs to be lynched first. The chance of him killing a Townie is higher than him killing a Doppelganger. However, I have listed a few people who I suspect are dopps (Toaster, Leafsnail, Ottofar), but I would rather kill the Exterminator first. The math and logic are sound.
Because if Mish is the Exterminator, Zathras would likely be Town, plus the entire situation makes sense. It seems you're freaking out over nothing.I suppose so. I think I seriously misunderstood your post.
If there's a Medium, I'm sure he can confirm it. I'm almost 98% sure.I doubt we started with more than two. But I suppose so.
I can assume that Chains appear on Stun Bombs just in case he's not a co-conspirator. Meph can confirm whether Stun Bombs show Chains or do not, but dropping this because of one thing won't be enough.Ok, this is important. Just know that if they don't, then I will maintain that Zathras is town.
You can't make it an either or. It's always more than that.
... WHEN DID I CLAIM IT WAS LYLO!?!? ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!? GREATER AND MINOR DEITIES! YOUR BOILING STUPIDITIES BURNS MY EYES! THAT'S ALL THERE IS!This is where I thought I saw that. You said you have to lynch scum. I thought that was the definition of LYLO?
There's only so much I can take from you. You haven't looked at anything you've written.
There's 3 Dopps and at least one anti-Town alien. That's 4+/11, meaning we have to lynch scum today. If we mislynch, this leads to 3 town deaths, with the possibility of a Scientist kill, leaving us with 4+/7-8.I also forgot that at least one of the 4+ would be an alien. So that dopps wouldn't win here.
Calm down, kid. If anyone should be fuming, it's anyone that reads YOUR posts. It's like you hemorrhage incoherencies wherever possible.You're right...
Instead of flipping your shit about it you could try pointing it out to webadict and asking questions calmly. When you overreact like you just did you invite such inconvenient questions like "Why the fuck do you care so much?" and "Why do you have to come rushing to Zathras' rescue every time somebody suspects him?"I didn't mean to flip my shit.
When you keep doing this you two look joined at the hip, like you're in it together, like you share the same win condition, and that means you look an awfully lot like scum.
But fuck, KaminaSquirtle, people can determine whether or not a player is scummy independently of all other concerns. Why don't you quit flipping your shit about people not implying that you are scum when they suspect Zathras. I mean, if you and Zathras want to be forever together, you're doing a great job of dragging you two both down.

As long as wardens are the only ones who give the chain flavor, the only conclusion I can reach is Zathras being a warden, seeing as I got the chain flavor.
I need to reevaluate.
Leafsnail:It's not a scumtell. I'm pointing out his use of it as a reason why his entire case against me is bullshit (look at the quote I'm responding to).I mean, I might ask why, say, you're repeatedly defending JTF, who isn't remotely confirmed. Or why you've been tunneling me constantly for the last 2 days. But hey, whatever.Why is it bad for him to tunnel you but OK for you to tunnel Janus and Jim? Your hypocrisy is suspicious.
Argembarger: If you're so concerned about a tiebreaker, why aren't you pressing the people who are in the tie? With your unvote, that's Otto and Leaf.I'm pretty sure you've got that bass-ackwards. He said that there's an extension, so we have 24 more hours to worry about a tied vote.
Hmm. Zath's clearly not a dopp, and I tend to buy his warden claim. I have trouble seeing a Kamina/Zath exty-op combo, so I'll have to ponder Kamina's case. In the mean time...This continues why I believe you to be a Doppelganger. It's these subtle phrases you throw in. It unnerves me. Something about you just reeks of scum.
Ottofar:Well.This post demands explanation.
I guess Pandar might be a dopp. Not too sure.
Zathras, as stated, is probably an alien.
I'm gonna go sleep.
While you're explaining it, please tell me if this explanation makes sense to you: You're an Alien Survivor who used Pandar's obvscumminess as an opportunity to come out to the scum team so you can help them win at LYLO.
Mish hasn't posted since the 19th, and probably needs to be replaced.
MBP has no such excuse. You're willfully ignoring this thread since you were just on the forum. Get in here or die.
I believe you didn't say anything about me, either, while you were pointing out people that weren't here. Why is this?
Kamina: Your line of attack is too heavy in WIFOM for my tastes. The blanket answer to "Why would I do this as scum" is "So you could say you wouldn't do that as scum." You wouldn't want to force a mislynch on Zath as that would almost certainly turn in to a lynch of you the next day. You could help cement his claim today (giving you town cred) and then kill him off tonight.For someone concerned about WIFOM, you pack it into this post.
Argembarger: The traditional uses of a scum assassin bot is to use it right at LYLO to turn it into a scum win- the town usually uses it early before they get killed. It's not a vindication of his alignment, but it does knock him down on the suspicion list a bit, at least.
The Assassin Bot is no longer as powerful as it was. It isn't a lylo breaker anymore. It is instead an extra kill now, because it's safer to use before you die. Why you're trying to protect Janus is odd, especially considering he can protect himself. You're implying he's town because scum would save it, which is WIFOM.
There's 3 Dopps and at least one anti-Town alien. That's 4+/11, meaning we have to lynch scum today. If we mislynch, this leads to 3 town deaths, with the possibility of a Scientist kill, leaving us with 4+/7-8.
I think I'm gonna vote Kamina, for early stuff, and now going to: "Yeah, I was wrong. Yeah, I'm an idiot"-phase.I was being stupid though. I'm not saying everything I thought was wrong. I'm saying that I shouldn't be so aggressive so quickly.
Alright, then. If Meph says Stun Orbs are Chainless, I can assume that Zathras is a Psychic Warden. I just don't want to take my chance, as that was both several games ago and with a Stun Bomb.Ok. Mish being exterminator makes a lot of sense. I wonder why Mish's absence/ the lack of exterminator kill+ hasn't been brought up before?
If that's the case, then Mish is likely the Exterminator. Now, if THAT'S the case, then we don't have to worry about the Exterminator, but if someone was protected from a kill last Night, then claiming it now would be nice.
Otherwise, I think it can be assumed to about a 99% accuracy that Mish is the Exterminator.
The lylo thing is simply stating that we will be unable to lynch all scum should there be a mislynch and 2 town kills tonight. If that happens, we'll be unable to kill the Exterminator, unless Zathras can block a Dopp kill again, or there's a Guardian or Guard.Ok, that makes more sense. So in that case we would have to hope for some exterminator/dopp crossfire.
Do you need more gas for that chainsaw? You're using the hell out of it to defend Zathras.It wasn't a chainsaw, but I think there's nothing I can do to convince you it's not, so no point arguing over it.
Anyway, a chainsaw is a nulltell if Zathras doesn't flip scum.
No, I wouldn't have voted you for that answer, since it wouldn't have had serious ramifications upon the game.So, Kaminasquirtle admits that he only voted me because I still think he's scum. Wow, sounds like a really townie thing to do!
And I think it's your logic that needs to be checked here."I shouldn't have to do homework! The dog ate my homework! I actually did my homework, but I didn't bring it in today!"
Do you seriously think I made that up for the sole reason of having the excuse to vote you for the sole reason of you voting me? How is an OMGUS even a scumtell anyway? What kind of idiot scum decides it would be in their best interests to vote someone because that someone voted them?
Seriously, just think about it...
CALL US BOTH SCUM, BUT CERTAINLY NOT JUST HIM. THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.Obvious attempt to drag Zathras down with you is obvious.
I'm sorry, but you're just avoiding being useful. All you've done is point out some either old or obvious scumtells on me. Nothing else.You're still scum, no matter how old or obvious.
How does that follow? All I see is "It's OK for me but not for him!"It's ok for both of us, since it's not a scumtell. I showed examples of him doing this to show how stupid it is to build a case out of it.
Janus:Argembarger: If you're so concerned about a tiebreaker, why aren't you pressing the people who are in the tie? With your unvote, that's Otto and Leaf.I'm pretty sure you've got that bass-ackwards. He said that there's an extension, so we have 24 more hours to worry about a tied vote.
He has more time, sure, but he's not using it to question either of them.
Alright, then. If Meph says Stun Orbs are Chainless, I can assume that Zathras is a Psychic Warden. I just don't want to take my chance, as that was both several games ago and with a Stun Bomb.
Yeah sorry for not posting yesterday. Had about ten minutes, so yeah.
Toaster's been quite quiet.
I think I'm gonna vote Kamina, for early stuff, and now going to: "Yeah, I was wrong. Yeah, I'm an idiot"-phase.
How does that follow? All I see is "It's OK for me but not for him!"It's ok for both of us, since it's not a scumtell. I showed examples of him doing this to show how stupid it is to build a case out of it.
Stun Orbs are indeed supposed to be chainless.I'm surprised you answered this; I thought Web specifically worded it as a question you wouldn't answer to increase the WIFOM level of the conversation. But thanks; that should put it to rest at last.
Although...that gives me an idea for a new Alien Tech...Oh gods no... life's already hard enough for a poor warden. This game should serve as a case study for why wardens should be careful about claiming: they will spend the next week battling "you are alien!" charges even after saving a townie life and hanging a dopp.
Alright, then. If Meph says Stun Orbs are Chainless, I can assume that Zathras is a Psychic Warden. If that's the case, then Mish is likely the Exterminator. Now, if THAT'S the case, then we don't have to worry about the Exterminator, but if someone was protected from a kill last Night, then claiming it now would be nice. Otherwise, I think it can be assumed to about a 99% accuracy that Mish is the Exterminator.
And the Medium thing was an aside. If there's no Medium, it can't be proven. Whatever.This, plus the guardian bit, show you are spinning WIFOMy tales to distract the town. The chances of there being a third medium are negligible, and you know it.
The FoS's I threw down are because they seem scummy to me,
How are my questions useless, exactly?
Dariush: (obviously,) why are you or aren't you the exterminator?
Leafsnail and JTF, what do you think of the possibility of Mish/Dariush exterminatorship?
In the meantime: Ottofar, why do you think we should vote Kamina over you? Argue something.
Then please Zathras, since you obviously are the warden, who would you block tonight ? Kamina is right out, and if we follow yesterday jim would be too obvious ( wich hardly makes much sense to me, really) So, whos the lucky guy ?
Short Version:I think I'll create a shorter version, containing only content that is relevant to finding scum:
- Random chance puts the odds at 1.5 town deaths tonight (rather than the 2 Webadict was spouting)
- I suggested Zathras' PM exchange, but he got what I meant slightly wrong, doubt it was on purpose though
- Zathras is also self-preservative, null-tell for him
- Zathras is almost certainly a Psychic Warden
- Zathras is probably (although not confirmed) town, this doesn't mean anything about KaminaSquirtle
- I have no idea what is going though Mysteriousbluepuppet's mind
- Ottofar is ignoring reality, still think he's the primary lynch target
- Zathras should *not* publically claim who he's going to block tonight
- You really should read the Long Version, but it's long
Leafsnail and JTF, what do you think of the possibility of Mish/Dariush exterminatorship?There are other possible explanations. Declaring someone as a guarenteed exterminator over something like this is just silly.
I think it's an intriguing theory, and it seems to fit nicely to the evidence.
Janus:He's new. I want to give him a chance to learn, particularly while there are scummier people about to lynch (Ottofar). He's been getting better at least.He has more time, sure, but he's not using it to question either of them.Argembarger: If you're so concerned about a tiebreaker, why aren't you pressing the people who are in the tie? With your unvote, that's Otto and Leaf.I'm pretty sure you've got that bass-ackwards. He said that there's an extension, so we have 24 more hours to worry about a tied vote.
I think I'll create a shorter version, containing only content that is relevant to finding scum:
-
Argembarger said he wanted to be treated like everybody else when replaced in. There's no reason to give him slack if he doesn't want any.I had for gotten that. I still think that Argembarger had the right idea and Toaster the wrong for the original point though. Even within the original first extension, the vote has already changed quite a bit. It wasn't something that would cause problems back then.
Fixed that for you.I think I'll create a shorter version, containing only content that is relevant to finding scum:Dude, that fucking hyphen is hypocritical.
-
Well, no part of that post says anything about who is scum, or who should be lynched. You could skip it all without having lost anything.Wrong. There's one contradicting a potential scum tell, another saying who I don't think is scum and who still could be (read the long version for more on KaminaSquirtle, which you obviously haven't), and the point on Ottofar is quite obviously who should be lynched. Even beyond that, a quite solid percentage is game related in some form or another, the exception being the mathy bit of 1.5 townie deaths mostly being intended as humorous (even if true mathematically).
Wrong. There's one contradicting a potential scum tell, another saying who I don't think is scum and who still could be (read the long version for more on KaminaSquirtle, which you obviously haven't), and the point on Ottofar is quite obviously who should be lynched.First is ridiculously weak since it isn't followed up with anything. Second is basically "I don't know who to lynch out of you". Third is "I think he's the primary lynch target", which is... well, I guess it's telling us "nothing's changed" once again.
Even beyond that, a quite solid percentage is game related in some form or another, the exception being the mathy bit of 1.5 townie deaths mostly being intended as humorous (even if true mathematically).Pulling a statistic out of your ass isn't particularly helpful.
The part I think you just completely don't get is that if you ignore everything but what is obviously scummy / scumtells in general, you are going to lose against anyone but an obvious noobscum team. Even semi-talented scum know how to hide scum tells. What you have to look at instead is how they're trying to help the town. Are they helping the town win or just helping the town? Essentially, it comes down to starting with everyone is scum and removing candidates (by feel or by lynch) until you have the scum.Ok, do that rather than writing pages of fluff next time. I mean, take the bolded sentence. Did you help remove anyone in that post "by feel"?
First is ridiculously weak since it isn't followed up with anything. Second is basically "I don't know who to lynch out of you". Third is "I think he's the primary lynch target", which is... well, I guess it's telling us "nothing's changed" once again.- The entire point is that there's nothing to follow up with on that particular attack.
Ok, do that rather than writing pages of fluff next time. I mean, take the bolded sentence. Did you help remove anyone in that post "by feel"?Yes. Webadict and Zathras are more likely town. Mysteriousbluepuppet is more obviously noobish, but probably not scum. Ottofar is just as scummy/useless as ever. KaminaSquirtle looks scummier than Day 1 or 2.
Oh hey Janus, I don't think you got my idea on Zath exterminator. What i mean it,s that if Zathras is the exterminator, Hes better off NOT doing anything. No kill put suspicion on mish, wich give him at least another day clear. Really, i go on and on and on about it, since nobody seems to understand. Zathras is not a confirmed ANYTHING, all we got is Him and Kamina voice. May i remind you that they bot defend the other ( Kamina is being so damn obvious about it , it's not even funny) Townies dont do that, it's a scum job to protect a scum.He's not confirmed. That's completely true. It's just that there's only two possibilties:
Funny thing, everyone is ok with an extemrinator, but the presence of an operative wont seem realist to you? That the operative job, to give a chance for the exterminator. Its not hard to conceive that if we got one we can get the other.But if Zathras and KaminaSquirtle actually are Exterminator and Operative, then they're taking quite a risk. If either of them dies, we know immediately what the other is and we'll lynch them.
Janus just open your damn eyes. You say that Kamina may be scum, and all that. So then why do you keep on protecting Zathras, who you are sure is confirmed of maybe the most possible scum right now ? have you lost your mind?No. I happen to think that it's more likely that Zathras is Psychic Warden. If that's the case, there are better lynch targets for today, even a Dopp Psychic Warden isn't that problematic. Ottofar is good to lynch, KaminaSquirtle is scummy for trying to tie his alignment to Zathras', I would love to see Leafsnail hang just because he's being annoying, and Darius is a decently likely Exterminator.
Hardly think it's a risk, Just basic human minds. Mafia is biased in town favor since it's way harder to keep lying for a long time. Theres always cracks in a story, and the longer the story hold the more they show. You guys dont question enough his choice of Kamina to block. There were others ( many of them) that he could have blocked. He chose KaminaSquirtle, why? The guy that should have been lynced day 1 if Shadowdump did not pull a massive KILL ME sign. Zathras is experienced, he should know not to thrust a possible scum\noobtown with such an important thing hell, he himself called Kamina noobtown. Again, i emphasise that he could have just blocked Jim. Jim got Pandar hanged, and more importantly hes the one that STARTED the investiagtion. I've never seen a mafia selling their own members, so Jim word as at least SOME credibility. That Kamina is riding the Zath train so hard just tells even more. Why do you guys are so close to each others?
Also fun, no word from zath about kamina. No 'stop budying me' . no ' stop defending me'. He just goes on to respond on web, but noting else. Really Zath, you got no opinion on kamina after all the time that passed ? On his pre-emptive defending of himself ?( you were implicated in that one too, how weird). Since that world is so hard for you poor little wardens, should you not at least start working to earn it ?
[citation needed]
Like I said before: Zathras had no need to warn the victim of his roleblock about it. Doing so seems to only cover his own hide, as usually.Completely disagree with you on this. He needed to PM someone who he would roleblock so that they could confirm that he did it (which was a good chunk of the point). It would have been helpful if he hadn't blocked the same person he PMed, but I don't think that was clear enough in my post yesterday. As it is, it works out. Zathras is an essentially confirmed Psychic Warden, with the only exception being the unlikely case of Exterminator+Operative KaminaSquirtle.
Zathras: This is what I actually meant /\
This is what it boils down to: He thinks Zathras is scum, while I'm apparently town.If Zathras bussed Pandarsenic. All your claim shows is that he's a Psychic Warden. I don't think it's likely, but it's entirely possible, particularly with it being Zathras and Pandarsenic.
Explain how this makes any sense at all.
PossibilitysThey are blocked by guardians, which could have been the case. And they may have chosen not to kill precisely because all the suspicion was on me, thus increasing the WIFOM chances. These could have been particularly good strategies for Webadict the Exterminator, since he was already pushing for me, and the wine is stroooong with him. (see my previous post for details on that)
The exterminator is Mish, did no kill due to absence ( all is good, Zath is not the exterminator)
Exterminator is zathras : There we got some choice.
Exterminator is not Zathras: Why would he not kill anybody? No good reason to refrain since all the suspicion was on Zath. They are not blocked by wardens
He tried to kill someone but got blocked, unlikely, else the guardien implicated could have claimed (if he want to do it anonymously, i can transmit the message). I also have very good reason to believe no guardian was involved.This is moronic. For a guardian, claiming should be the last thing on his mind; they would be an immediate target for both scum teams, and he can't protect himself. It's one of the most valuable roles for the town to have, and to remain hidden. Your volunteering for him to claim to you is VERY scummy.... why, it's almost like you want to know who the guardian is... no ulterior motives? Why should he, or we, believe you don't wish the guardian any harm, so they should claim to you? Also, what are your "very good reasons to believe no guardian was involved"? How about sharing those reasons with us? What do you have to hide?
Again, my solution aint something hard, kamina as been a drag since so long, and dropping tell like it was going out of style. Lynch and check. Flip Dopp or alien ? Well, we got 2 for the price of one, chaps. Not it ? Not a big loss for all i'm concerned.
back day 1. You guys dont question enough his choice of Kamina to block. There were others ( many of them) that he could have blocked. He chose KaminaSquirtle, why? [...] Jim got Pandar hanged, and more importantly hes the one that STARTED the investiagtion. I've never seen a mafia selling their own members, so Jim word as at least SOME credibility.
Argembarger said he wanted to be treated like everybody else when replaced in. There's no reason to give him slack if he doesn't want any.I had for gotten that. I still think that Argembarger had the right idea and Toaster the wrong for the original point though. Even within the original first extension, the vote has already changed quite a bit. It wasn't something that would cause problems back then.
That's only for successful protects, and protections that are unneeded go unnoticed, right?
Webadict:I meant at the beginning of the post. You decided to post "I have trouble seeing a Kamina/Zath exty-op combo, so I'll have to ponder Kamina's case." I just don't like it. If you have problems seeing a KZ team, then what does that have to do with Kamina? It should deal with their interaction, if anything.Hmm. Zath's clearly not a dopp, and I tend to buy his warden claim. I have trouble seeing a Kamina/Zath exty-op combo, so I'll have to ponder Kamina's case. In the mean time...This continues why I believe you to be a Doppelganger. It's these subtle phrases you throw in. It unnerves me. Something about you just reeks of scum.
Ottofar:Well.This post demands explanation.
I guess Pandar might be a dopp. Not too sure.
Zathras, as stated, is probably an alien.
I'm gonna go sleep.
While you're explaining it, please tell me if this explanation makes sense to you: You're an Alien Survivor who used Pandar's obvscumminess as an opportunity to come out to the scum team so you can help them win at LYLO.

I'm not sure what you mean by "subtle phrases" here. As for the last question, see this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1740063#msg1740063) and my quoted one. The four of you on that list I specifically wanted to hear from, and you had posted right then. Otto gave his crap post, MBP posted nothing, and Mish is AWOL. I didn't get back to your lack of posting until later.
Mad Scientist. Xenozoologist is the new term from the old Alien Scientist. I'm hip and with it.There's 3 Dopps and at least one anti-Town alien. That's 4+/11, meaning we have to lynch scum today. If we mislynch, this leads to 3 town deaths, with the possibility of a Scientist kill, leaving us with 4+/7-8.
What makes you think there could be a Scientist? There weren't grabs either of the first two nights.
Nobody thought of it, probably. When you're requiring a replacement, no one pays attention to you.Alright, then. If Meph says Stun Orbs are Chainless, I can assume that Zathras is a Psychic Warden. I just don't want to take my chance, as that was both several games ago and with a Stun Bomb.Ok. Mish being exterminator makes a lot of sense. I wonder why Mish's absence/ the lack of exterminator kill+ hasn't been brought up before?
If that's the case, then Mish is likely the Exterminator. Now, if THAT'S the case, then we don't have to worry about the Exterminator, but if someone was protected from a kill last Night, then claiming it now would be nice.
Otherwise, I think it can be assumed to about a 99% accuracy that Mish is the Exterminator.
I'd rather we lynch the Exterminator. The problem with the Exterminator is that he becomes a pro-Town player once the Dopps + Exty = Town. I used this as a nice defense in Paranormal 3 to stop me from getting lynched when I had a "Kill" track on me. (I managed to trick the Telepath, who was trying to trick ME! I have to admit, that was an excellent attempt, and an even better counter.) Of course, I was a Doppelganger back then, but the same thing happened with Solifuge a couple games ago.The lylo thing is simply stating that we will be unable to lynch all scum should there be a mislynch and 2 town kills tonight. If that happens, we'll be unable to kill the Exterminator, unless Zathras can block a Dopp kill again, or there's a Guardian or Guard.Ok, that makes more sense. So in that case we would have to hope for some exterminator/dopp crossfire.
webadict, you're talking a lot about who needs to be lynched but you still haven't voted anybody.Right, sorry. I was still swinging back and forth about Zathras and Mish. Or whoever has just replaced Mish. However, I think that he's the Exterminator.
I'm also for extension since I have a loooot more to read and consolidate my thoughts about all this...Yeah, you probably should've picked a smaller game. And you'll have to deal with me, I'm afraid.
And then my question for Dariush, well, yeah. Webadict's over there claiming 99% certainty that Dariush is the Exterminator. It's obvious that he's gonna have to deal with that soon. I figured I might as well phrase it as a formal question.I was claiming certainty so long as Zathras is not the Exterminator. Who's the Exterminator, then, Argembarger? Just because I said so doesn't make it okay for you to attack him for it. I'm the one that's attacking him. Using my intuition as an attack on him is really stupid of you.
Only the Exterminator can grab the Camo (right?). It's more of a boost to existing Tech this is sufficiently underpowered anyhow.Stun Orbs are indeed supposed to be chainless.I'm surprised you answered this; I thought Web specifically worded it as a question you wouldn't answer to increase the WIFOM level of the conversation. But thanks; that should put it to rest at last.Quote from: MephAlthough...that gives me an idea for a new Alien Tech...Oh gods no... life's already hard enough for a poor warden. This game should serve as a case study for why wardens should be careful about claiming: they will spend the next week battling "you are alien!" charges even after saving a townie life and hanging a dopp.
Wrong. People that are attacked in this game get a message saying so. At least, that's how previous games were. So, who's dumb now?Alright, then. If Meph says Stun Orbs are Chainless, I can assume that Zathras is a Psychic Warden. If that's the case, then Mish is likely the Exterminator. Now, if THAT'S the case, then we don't have to worry about the Exterminator, but if someone was protected from a kill last Night, then claiming it now would be nice. Otherwise, I think it can be assumed to about a 99% accuracy that Mish is the Exterminator.
I don't buy this. The only thing that may point to Mish being the exterminator is that he was away during the night when there was no exterminator kill. I think the guardian option is just as likely. Also, no one can claim to have been protected, dumbass, because you don't know that you've been protected by a guardian (only an Observant Guard would do that, but would have died). Are you asking the guardian to claim? How would that not backfire?
Right.Quote from: webAnd the Medium thing was an aside. If there's no Medium, it can't be proven. Whatever.This, plus the guardian bit, show you are spinning WIFOMy tales to distract the town. The chances of there being a third medium are negligible, and you know it.
I think that you are going all out "KILL THE EXTERMINATOR" because you are the exterminator, and your leading the chase for him would implicitly clear you. You know there's a guardian, who protected your target last night, and decided that the best way to obscure the fact would be to resuscitate the WIFOM about me being it, and tech choices, orbs, and whatnot. Or at least get him to claim, or throw the blame on the absent Mish. The amount of wine you've spewed over your last few posts is nauseating.
No. I'm still convinced you are scum; your relentless wine spewing over the exterminator makes me think you are scum of the alien variety, rather than dopp, and thus you should hang today. I'd block you tonight, but if you are the exterminator, as I suspect, then you would be immune to it.
And I thought I posted long posts. Webadict, yours are a little bit on the crazy (long) side.I felt a little bad about my prior absence. I tried to make up just a little.
Yes, up to 3 deaths. Prepare for the worst. You know that there will probably be 3 deaths tomorrow, and Murphy's Law states they'll be Town. Even your 1.5 is too high of a number.There's 3 Dopps and at least one anti-Town alien. That's 4+/11, meaning we have to lynch scum today. If we mislynch, this leads to 3 town deaths, with the possibility of a Scientist kill, leaving us with 4+/7-8.Up to 3 town deaths. Even assuming that we mislynch today and that the Exterminator is the only Alien about, the average number of town deaths (competely chosen at random) tonight is only ~1.5 rather than two. (Yes, the math really doesn't help, but it was amusing to work out.
Like I said before: Zathras had no need to warn the victim of his roleblock about it. Doing so seems to only cover his own hide, as usually.Completely disagree with you on this.

Zathras is an essentially confirmed Psychic Warden, with the only exception being the unlikely case of Exterminator+Operative KaminaSquirtle.
Zathras: This is what I actually meant /\How does that make it okay? It doesn't.Zathras has displayed numerous self-preservation symptoms.This is essentially a null-tell for Zathras from what I've seen of his playstyle.
Short Version:I'm just going to go ahead and say it's 2 right now. Future Web will not be surprised.
- Random chance puts the odds at 1.5 town deaths tonight (rather than the 2 Webadict was spouting)
Hey.A'ight. Except the Exterminator is kiiiinda important.
I've got an idea.
How about everybody stop using the lack of an Exterminator kill as evidence for their own pet theory about who it is? Because that's what everybody's doing. And it's all pretty much bullshit.
Yes, a person protected by a guard style role will generally know that they were protected. They won't know who protected them, usually, but it depends on the type of guard.Zathras can suck some lemons.
I'm not sure what you mean by "subtle phrases" here. As for the last question, see this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1740063#msg1740063) and my quoted one.

Well of course he is. But nobody's going to track him down by filling in the blanks of what happened last night with whoever they want for whatever reason they want.
Yours the only speculation that's at all reasonable: the Exterminator did not kill because he was not available. Any other theory about people going for WIFOM is just stupid, because the Exterminator would be better off killing than he would be trying to convince everybody to go for a lynch solely based on WIFOM.
That said, I'm not going to lynch Dariush before he says anything. That's just impolite.
And I came up with two possibilities: Guardian protect or Mish unavailable. The third option (not choosing to kill) has no more reason to be explored, mostly because nothing anyone would do would make any sense. Even for WIFOM. And nobody seems crazy enough to try it.That seems to fit with my guess - he framed Mish and then directly declared that the possibility of him not killing anyone is impossible, thus lifting suspicions from himself.
Org is right, for once. Since we're still thick in the RVS there's no reason for you, KaminaSquirtle, to be coming out and defending JTF for whatever he's said and done. So why are you buddying him?
At first.And a policy lynch doesn't make the day any shorter.Not timewise, but it makes us short town. Scum should be lynched, not town, no matter how stupid. That is the point of town.
Unvote.
Vote JanusTwoface.
It's a shame, I was about to extend you some noob slack but then you go and do something violently reactionary like this.Because I was thinking in the context of BM. What he's doing seems different now. I understand it from a new perspective. He's suggesting a lynch simply because of a player's rep, with no regards to losing a chance to lynch scum. I can unvote whenever the hell I want. I want answers out of the fucker.
Whyyy are you voting for JTF? You were just explaining away his actions a minute ago.
I'm done being wishy-washy, as you pointed out I was. Are you seriously suggesting I would be so stupid as to bus my scumbuddy this early just because of a small accusation?
Goddamn, I'm not that stupid.
...
@Dariush: Be comforted by the fact that your lynching will be almost entirely Mish's fault. Almost. For now, your defense wittles down to: "It's him or me," to which I will reply: "Since when?" But, that's beside the fact. You, however, just gave away yourself as the Exterminator, and I will explain why when I'm home. Feel free to prepare an adequate defense in that time.I should have just said 'I am not the exterminator' and that would be better than actually placing evidence in front of me? Also, accusing me immediatly after I voted for you with only explanation being (intentional) misinterpretation of what I said... doesn't seem right.
And these, "yes webadict. Whatever you say webadict."-things. They're aiming to please.No. Webadict has been making sense. If he's making sense, there's no reason not to agree with him. You say I'm trying to please, but then why did I go so crazy on Web at first, and, earlier, Zathras? Please explain how I was trying to please there.
Also, I have several exams in this and the following week. Tomorrow is one. I'd do a longer post, but my grades are slowly falling.
That seems to fit with my guess - he framed Mish and then directly declared that the possibility of him not killing anyone is impossible, thus lifting suspicions from himself.What? So this whole thing was some crazy master plan? If webadict was exterminator and killed someone, I doubt anyone would jump to the conclusion that he was exterminator. It makes much more sense for there to be no kill because Mish wasn't logged on.
I'd rather we lynch the Exterminator. The problem with the Exterminator is that he becomes a pro-Town player once the Dopps + Exty = Town. I used this as a nice defense in Paranormal 3 to stop me from getting lynched when I had a "Kill" track on me. (I managed to trick the Telepath, who was trying to trick ME! I have to admit, that was an excellent attempt, and an even better counter.) Of course, I was a Doppelganger back then, but the same thing happened with Solifuge a couple games ago.Of course I'd rather lynch the exterminator. What I meant by 'in that case' is that we lynched a townie today.
If they get to there, they'll work with the Town until the end of the game, where they'll backstab at the last minute. And the Doppelgangers don't WANT to kill the Exterminator because they usually lose a kill. However, the Exterminator DOES want to kill the Doppelgangers. Just not all of them until he knows he's won.
Believe me. I did the math rather well. I would've done it during P4, but I screwed it up. Unfortunate, as I'd love to be the only Exterminator to ever win.
Name one reason for two people not familiar with each other have such similarities.
And everyone else who doesn't employ their line of thinking is dumb and wrong?Name one reason for two people not familiar with each other have such similarities.
They're both perceptive and correct?
All riiiight, I'm kinda up to date with events.
First of all, about Mish (and then me) being Exterminator - Mish's last post was three days before the end of Day 2, so it would make sense for actual exterminator NOT to kill anyone and claim that lack of kill was due to Mish's absence (yes, I know about WIFOM it implies but isn't it better for Exterminator not to kill anyone for one night at the cost of safety from lynching and ability to kill the next one when odds are in his favor). Second, Zathras has pretty much proved himself a townie (if I'm wrong and missed some vital piece of information, please correct me), so anyone trying to frame him isn't likely to be pro-town.
That being said, webadict has pointed that his suspicions swing between him and me, so I would say he must be the one who framed Mish if my first guess is correct.
Sorry for pretty weak accusations, but I'll improve them once I learn about the current state of affairs first-hand.
P.S:
So, webadict posted right before me:And I came up with two possibilities: Guardian protect or Mish unavailable.

@Kamina:
So, being logical doesn't work with you. Well then, where did you get the whole idea that I am Exterminator with the exception of coincidental absence of Mish in the night? If you call logic WIFOM, there's no way to prove I'm not exterminator, SS or a dinosaur for that matter. You are just hellbent on lynching me, which confirms my earlier suspicions on you being in team with webadict (similar choice of targets, similar reasoning behind votes, etc.).
Also, you unvoted webadict right after you saw me voting for him. Something tells me that you don't actually want him lynched, you just show off that you voted for him and it was just a coincidence that you happened to be in minority...
Wait-wait-wait, WHAT?
First of all, why isn't anybody even considering the possibility of exterminator not killing anyone, thus framing Mish?
Second, my vote on webadict was not based on OMGUS but instead on the facts I gathered - for all I know, Web is either the exterminator, or a dopp who wishes to pull a vote on a new player who probably won't put much of a defense because of not being familiar with the game.
Third, as I said, I suspect a team of Web-Karmina (the reasons being similar choice of targets, similar reasoning behind votes and the second immediatly changing his vote to re-balance the scales of voting). Name one reason for two people not familiar with each other have such similarities.
Janus:Argembarger said he wanted to be treated like everybody else when replaced in. There's no reason to give him slack if he doesn't want any.I had for gotten that. I still think that Argembarger had the right idea and Toaster the wrong for the original point though. Even within the original first extension, the vote has already changed quite a bit. It wasn't something that would cause problems back then.
I still found it odd that he mentioned the tiebreaker vote, then completely ignored the two people tied. I don't think it was terribly scummy- probably more lazy than anything. His last post was definitely scummier, though.
If I understand the situation correctly, Zathras has proven himself to be a psychic warden, but not necessarily town.Well, maybe he is dopp. Regardless, I voted for Web because of it, saw Karmina changing his vote to me because of it and went for him.
You're voting Web mostly because his theory contradicts your theory. Except his theory tries to avoid WIFOM, where your theory jumps right in with it. I think I like the theory with less WIFOM, myself.Ahem. WIFOM is 'Wine In Front Of Me' and refers to the infinite possibility of "maybe he thought that I'd think that he thought that I'd think...", right?
1. Is it better to just lynch a random townie just because of a random coincidence, who may additionally have some useful role than not kill anyone?Wait-wait-wait, WHAT?
First of all, why isn't anybody even considering the possibility of exterminator not killing anyone, thus framing Mish?
Second, my vote on webadict was not based on OMGUS but instead on the facts I gathered - for all I know, Web is either the exterminator, or a dopp who wishes to pull a vote on a new player who probably won't put much of a defense because of not being familiar with the game.

1. Probably because everybody in this game would like to see the Exterminator dead. The Exterminator is sought by town and dopp alike, so waiting around and not killing anyone is a pretty bad idea.
2. Your vote on Webadict was indeed not OMGUS. Your vote on Kamina was very OMGUS.
3. Because if you show two different people a blue duck, they're going to say it's a blue duck.
That being said, webadict has pointed that his suspicions swing between him and me, so I would say he must be the one who framed Mish if my first guess is correct.

Two OMGUSes right after each other was not the right way to begin defending yourself.Once again - I've lost count of how many times I pointed out the logic behind my votes, which are not OMGUS in any way.
So you think webadict is the Exterminator because of stupid reasons. Do you have any other suspicions? Who do you think are doppelgangers?So, the reason that Web has a pretty good setup to frame me/Mish for exterminator is stupid while the coincidence (how many times have I pinpointed the idiocy of it... uh, I don't even know) of lack of kill is not stupid? Greeeat.
Well, extend,
Observant Guards only tell the name of the attacker to the person they were guarding. All players being guarded will receive a message if they would have been attacked. It's an extra feature in this game. [...] Except for one small fact. The player who's protected gets a message. I have gotten them enough times to know this. (What can I say? I'm popular.) Sooo... that means if I was the Exterminator, I'd be taking one heck of a chance.
Or will you just keeping pushing the point until I'm dead and prove I'm Town? Because, really, it's getting a little old. [...] I felt a little bad about my prior absence. I tried to make up just a little.
Zathras can suck some lemons.Bite me.
And everyone else who doesn't employ their line of thinking is dumb and wrong?Name one reason for two people not familiar with each other have such similarities.
They're both perceptive and correct?
Also, how would you explain Karmina backuping Web when he was getting dangerously close to lynch?
Sorry Toast, but Kamina is weaselly since he almost got lynched back day 1. Right now all he does is align himself with any alpha dog he can find to protect his hide.
As for the zath thing, i re-read. I admit to have passed some good info, but i'll still keep vigilant. Also, i havent got any feedback about you and Kamina relationship, and that's not boding well.
Well, extend,You're not paying attention at all.
Two OMGUSes right after each other was not the right way to begin defending yourself.Once again - I've lost count of how many times I pointed out the logic behind my votes, which are not OMGUS in any way.
Seriously, it looks like people are simply ignoring my questions and statements.
At N1 Mish discovered the role of JTF, who's pro-town. At N2 he indeed did nothing. [...]Also, both bot and orb are unused. It was a scanner which was used.
So, everyone else, before the day ends please state your top picks for the record. A thought or two next to each would be greatly appreciated.
Also, both bot and orb are unused. It was a scanner which was used.
...I'm confused. I find your claim persuasive, so I Unvote for now, but I'm not sure where that leaves us... Need to chew on this for a bit.
It is really unfortunate that Agent Operative is a perfect claim for Exterminator Operative.
Also, i wont object to an extend.
It is really unfortunate that Agent Operative is a perfect claim for Exterminator Operative.
Because i dont think theres more than 1 guardian , and i know one, and i know he did no such blocks ? Thus if there is not 2 guardians, extie failed to act.If you know there is a Guardian (and you're not the Guardian) that probably means that you inspected one (Detective or maybe a Telepath). To know that he did no such blocks means that you probably asked and they said no. Which could very well mean that they're actually a Dopp Guardian protecting another Dopp.
Again, that's why i would like Kamina to hang. If he flip dopp, its not looking too good for Zath. Flips town ? Sad thing to lose a townie, but he aint doing much right now but switching votes or buddying anyway. and we got a pretty certain exterminator Mish cornered.You seem to keep missing the point that the alignments of KaminaSquirtle and Zathras do *not* depend on one another. Just Zathras' role.
Well, extend,You're really not paying any attention at all are you? There was a post just *two* before yours refering to no more extensions. And I *really* doubt that you'd actually put them to any use if we get one. You've already gone through 2 extensions today with no extra content.
I don't give a flying rat's ass what you think of webadict or KaminaSquirtle or anything related to the Exterminator.OOC: Such an amusing expression. Would you give a flying rat's ass if you did care or didn't? Because I personally wouldn't have one to give in either case...
Crap. True. I find it embarrassing that I read several paranormals before this one started, and I keep making errors about the roles/rules regardless... Still, Dariush, action claim, please.The rules are complicated. And some have changed. I doubt anyone knows exactly what's going on rulewise without looking it up. (Which isn't a bad thing, I like the complexity).
What if I say I'm an Agent Operative with an Assasin Bot and Stun Orb with me?That saying it like this makes it sound like you have someone telling you what to claim. But it's actually a believable enough claim, especially since we know there was at least one Agent about.
I find it funny that there's a three-way three-vote tie at the moment. Tie results in nolynch, yes? If so, Ottofar seems like the safer choice, and yet seems unsatisfying, as it leaves the Ext question utterly up in the air, and a night with lots of likely kills (ext+bot+dopps).Even funnier when you realize that you're not voting. You should get on that.
Also, since we dont get any more extensions, somebody has got to bend, a no lynch would not be productive.There's time. Less than I'd like, but there's still 4 hours until the end of the day.
Why would have Janus been scanned anyways? Agents get no assassin bots and Mr. P was the agent.Why not? I was kicking up plenty of commotion on Day 1, so I was a prime target to verify. Solifuge became Mish during Day 1 and given what else we know about Mish, I doubt that he considered that his Agent might have been a Dopp.
I think it might've been his bot, which killed Org, by Janus's command.
There is a guardian, he did not block.Doesn't answer my question. I'll rephrase it.
Schemey potential plan:[...]I have some misgivings about this, but let's pick it up again tomorrow for discussion (if we're still here).
Oh, me too, and it's the main reason I wanted to play one... I just wish I had done a better job.Crap. True. I find it embarrassing that I read several paranormals before this one started, and I keep making errors about the roles/rules regardless... Still, Dariush, action claim, please.The rules are complicated. And some have changed. I doubt anyone knows exactly what's going on rulewise without looking it up. (Which isn't a bad thing, I like the complexity).
Yes, funnier, but that's why I'm thinking about it carefully instead of just flinging it about. I also would like to believe Dariush's claim, as it is indeed plausible and it would make one of the kills town's. On the other hand, it doesn't resolve the question: why didn't the Ext kill last night? Absence was the most likely choice, and Dariush is still the one who was absent (and did claim noaction for N2). This is the main reason I'm still considering voting him as the right choice. But yes, I'm still undecided.I find it funny that there's a three-way three-vote tie at the moment. Tie results in nolynch, yes? If so, Ottofar seems like the safer choice, and yet seems unsatisfying, as it leaves the Ext question utterly up in the air, and a night with lots of likely kills (ext+bot+dopps).Even funnier when you realize that you're not voting. You should get on that.
Yes, it does mean there's lots of kills flying about, but that means there's even more kills likely to cross kill scum. And if we can believe Dariush's claim (I do, for now at least), then at least one of those kills is town aligned. Doesn't mean much, but it does mean something.
And if it wasn't my bot that killed Org, then what was I doing on Night 1?As a possibility? Ext-killing Criptfeind; thus one of the dopps being MS and killing Org, letting you get away with your claim. On the other hand, if this were the case the Dopps would have dropped you last night, so who knows. I'm just saying that Dariush's claim doesn't clear you at all unless he is indeed the Agent-Op.
And if it wasn't my bot that killed Org, then what was I doing on Night 1?
JanusTwoface: LeafsnailThis is another reason why I think you're scummy. It's not because of the OMGUS factor (although I would be lying if I said I wasn't feeling it). It's because you've continued to insist that I'm scum and vote me since Day 1. There are three Dopps and an Exterminator about, if you were really trying to help town I'd think that you would attack and/or vote someone that has a chance of being lynched today. Especially with all that's been going on. But you haven't.
No, it doesn't. Didn't mean to imply that it did. The logical problem is a little over from that. If I actually were the Exterminator, I could have killed both Criptfeind and Org, the Assassin Bot doesn't use an Alien's night action. So whatever Ottofar was getting at really doesn't make sense.Quote from: JTFAnd if it wasn't my bot that killed Org, then what was I doing on Night 1?As a possibility? Ext-killing Criptfeind; thus one of the dopps being MS and killing Org, letting you get away with your claim. On the other hand, if this were the case the Dopps would have dropped you last night, so who knows. I'm just saying that Dariush's claim doesn't clear you at all unless he is indeed the Agent-Op.
Also, MBP and you are playing a dangerous game. Useful, surely, but dangerous, especially as both your alignments are still undecided. But it will prove interesting, I'm sure.Yes. I was basically rolefishing. But I think it's justified in this instance, because if he had just been *told* that the Guardian no-actioned, that would have made the Guardian being a Dopp much more likely IMO.
Dariush is lying. He's the Exterminator.Do you know this or are you webadicting it? Because if you have evidence, then I'll consider it, but if you are going off a gut feeling, I think that Dariush is probably telling the truth.
Dariush is lying. He's the Exterminator.Wait, do you know something we don't? I'd like to know how you came to this conclusion. My vote will wait until you've explained this.
(at least so far as we can trust Mysteriousbluepuppet).Which is as far as we can throw him, I'd say, but I see your point.
I think that Dariush is probably telling the truth.But what are your thoughts on the lack of the exterminator kill last night, then? Dariush's no-action, coupled with MBP's claim of a guardian no-action, leave only Dariush-as-Ext as the possibility, doesn't it?
Simple question to Dariush: Do you have a Mind Shield? Feel free to lie.Doesn't really help. He already said (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1764981#msg1764981) that he probably wasn't going to be back today. If you assume that he's not going to respond, then what happens now?
It leaves at least the no-kill-for-WIFOM, the possibility of a second Guardian, the possiblity that Mysteriousbluepuppet is lying, or that Mysteriousbluepuppet was the Exterminator who didn't get around to night actioning (he also didn't post for the 48 hours before the end of the day, see your own LurkerTracker® post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1741534#msg1741534)).I think that Dariush is probably telling the truth.But what are your thoughts on the lack of the exterminator kill last night, then? Dariush's no-action, coupled with MBP's claim of a guardian no-action, leave only Dariush-as-Ext as the possibility, doesn't it?
Dariush: I suggest bot-killing Kamina in an attempt to prove yourself, should you survive to night. You think he's scum, I think he's scum, and he's one of the ones with the most votes.Assassin Bot kills in the morning, but it's set off by a night action and will still work even if the user is night killed. I asked for the same clarification for my own Assassin Bot Night 1.
Janus: That's some serious rolefishing you've got going on, especially considering what role we're talking about.Yup. And I already explained it. And if you notice, I wasn't actually looking for the identity of the Guardian unless it's possible we could catch them in a lie, which doesn't seem to be the case.
(at least so far as we can trust Mysteriousbluepuppet).Which is as far as we can throw him, I'd say, but I see your point.
Zath Make up your mind whether you believe Dariush or not- you're waffling on that pretty hard.
It leaves at least the no-kill-for-WIFOM, the possibility of a second Guardian, the possiblity that Mysteriousbluepuppet is lying, or that Mysteriousbluepuppet was the Exterminator who didn't get around to night actioning (he also didn't post for the 48 hours before the end of the day, see your own LurkerTracker® post).
Yes, but lynching the Ext-Operative is nowhere as useful as lynching the actual Ext. Or it would, except for that unused bot. He could be a) Agent-Op, which clears JTF; b) Ext-OP, which, under pressure, may have slipped the name of his master trying to clear him as town: JTF's bot and play would be consistent with his being the Ext; or c) Ext-Op with a different Ext altogether.
I don't give a flying rat's ass what you think of webadict or KaminaSquirtle or anything related to the Exterminator.OOC: Such an amusing expression. Would you give a flying rat's ass if you did care or didn't? Because I personally wouldn't have one to give in either case...
Schemey potential plan:
Dariush can verify my alignment if we can verify his role and we seem to have at least one Guardian about (although they might be a dopp).
If Darius survives the night and nothing better comes comes up, I suggest we Sacrilynch him tomorrow (I don't feel so bad about doing it to Aliens). Then everyone claims to me tomorrow night and I dig for logical issues.
I would suggest it for tonight, except if he's telling the truth Dariush is town aligned with a significant amount of power remaining.
Simple question to Dariush: Do you have a Mind Shield? Feel free to lie.
Assassin Bot kills in the morning, but it's set off by a night action and will still work even if the user is night killed. I asked for the same clarification for my own Assassin Bot Night 1.
I don't think it's a night action. I think it can be set off at any time, day or night, but it will kill its target in the morning. It's not specified in its description that it's a night action.
All riiiight, I'm kinda up to date with events.First off: This doesn't make a lick of sense. You start by saying that only you or I are the Exterminator, which is a sure sign of you being the Exterminator.
First of all, about Mish (and then me) being Exterminator - Mish's last post was three days before the end of Day 2, so it would make sense for actual exterminator NOT to kill anyone and claim that lack of kill was due to Mish's absence (yes, I know about WIFOM it implies but isn't it better for Exterminator not to kill anyone for one night at the cost of safety from lynching and ability to kill the next one when odds are in his favor). Second, Zathras has pretty much proved himself a townie (if I'm wrong and missed some vital piece of information, please correct me), so anyone trying to frame him isn't likely to be pro-town. That being said, webadict has pointed that his suspicions swing between him and me, so I would say he must be the one who framed Mish if my first guess is correct.
Sorry for pretty weak accusations, but I'll improve them once I learn about the current state of affairs first-hand.
P.S:
So, webadict posted right before me:And I came up with two possibilities: Guardian protect or Mish unavailable. The third option (not choosing to kill) has no more reason to be explored, mostly because nothing anyone would do would make any sense. Even for WIFOM. And nobody seems crazy enough to try it.That seems to fit with my guess - he framed Mish and then directly declared that the possibility of him not killing anyone is impossible, thus lifting suspicions from himself.
It wasn't a misrepresentation. Perhaps a miscommunication on your part is what you meant to say?@Dariush: Be comforted by the fact that your lynching will be almost entirely Mish's fault. Almost. For now, your defense wittles down to: "It's him or me," to which I will reply: "Since when?" But, that's beside the fact. You, however, just gave away yourself as the Exterminator, and I will explain why when I'm home. Feel free to prepare an adequate defense in that time.I should have just said 'I am not the exterminator' and that would be better than actually placing evidence in front of me? Also, accusing me immediatly after I voted for you with only explanation being (intentional) misinterpretation of what I said... doesn't seem right.
@Kamina:Because you thought you were going to have more people jumping on your case to lynch me? Instead you jumped onto someone that would help you not get lynched. And you accuse everyone else for bandwagoning you... Oh you. You're funny!
So, being logical doesn't work with you. Well then, where did you get the whole idea that I am Exterminator with the exception of coincidental absence of Mish in the night? If you call logic WIFOM, there's no way to prove I'm not exterminator, SS or a dinosaur for that matter. You are just hellbent on lynching me, which confirms my earlier suspicions on you being in team with webadict (similar choice of targets, similar reasoning behind votes, etc.).
Also, you unvoted webadict right after you saw me voting for him. Something tells me that you don't actually want him lynched, you just show off that you voted for him and it was just a coincidence that you happened to be in minority...... What about Zathras voting for me? Is this just not a two-way street? Are you going to bother with that?
On DarMish the possible exterminator:Dariush admitted that he didn't action, and why would the Dopps bother covering up themselves? They would look MORE townie by admitting something like that. They also would want to get rid of the Exterminator (Who would then suspect them of being Doppelgangers and use this information to try and lynch them).
It seems we're working on what is, at best, circumstantial evidence. There wasn't a kill last night when Mish wasn't around to post. That's certainly a possibility, but it's not the only possibility. Potentially, there's a dopp guardian who protected another dopp, and they're both keeping their mouths shut, or it could have been a WIFOM based no-kill (I doubt that.)
That said... Dariush isn't doing a good job of defending himself. Both his votes are serious OMGUS votes. He's acting scummy, and his only posted suspicions are against those who have recently voted him, but I'm not sold on him being the exty just yet.
Dariush: If you're not the exterminator, who is? Who do you think is a dopp?
As for myself, I'm thinking it's one of the scummy people who are out there, with my current guess being Ottofar. His explanation of his vote on Kamina (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1764374#msg1764374) is a regurgitation of the arguments of others, even going to quote the reasons of others as to why he's voting. He's trying to hide in the background, and it's failing.
Wait-wait-wait, WHAT?Because no one would think to do something like that. It's the weakest defense in the book. But, you might as well stick with your crappy explanation now.
First of all, why isn't anybody even considering the possibility of exterminator not killing anyone, thus framing Mish?
Second, my vote on webadict was not based on OMGUS but instead on the facts I gathered - for all I know, Web is either the exterminator, or a dopp who wishes to pull a vote on a new player who probably won't put much of a defense because of not being familiar with the game.
Third, as I said, I suspect a team of Web-Karmina (the reasons being similar choice of targets, similar reasoning behind votes and the second immediatly changing his vote to re-balance the scales of voting). Name one reason for two people not familiar with each other have such similarities.
1. You OMGUS'd people who were accusing you. You gave a rather half-hearted defense of yourself. You claim to BE A TOWNIE (LAST I CHECKED, ALIEN ISN'T TOWN! BUT THAT'S OKAY!)If I understand the situation correctly, Zathras has proven himself to be a psychic warden, but not necessarily town.Well, maybe he is dopp. Regardless, I voted for Web because of it, saw Karmina changing his vote to me because of it and went for him.You're voting Web mostly because his theory contradicts your theory. Except his theory tries to avoid WIFOM, where your theory jumps right in with it. I think I like the theory with less WIFOM, myself.Ahem. WIFOM is 'Wine In Front Of Me' and refers to the infinite possibility of "maybe he thought that I'd think that he thought that I'd think...", right?
His theory just straight-out accuses me/Mish of being exterminator for sole reason that he was unavailible for one night AND that there was no killing that night. Yes, possibility of actual exterminator not killing that night is WIFOMy, but it can't be just straight-out ignored. So basically his argument boils down to "my opponent is exterminator and he can't argue with it because he would be suspected of WIFOM". That's just... I don't know. I simply can't describe it. It's just unfair.1. Is it better to just lynch a random townie just because of a random coincidence, who may additionally have some useful role than not kill anyone?Wait-wait-wait, WHAT?
First of all, why isn't anybody even considering the possibility of exterminator not killing anyone, thus framing Mish?
Second, my vote on webadict was not based on OMGUS but instead on the facts I gathered - for all I know, Web is either the exterminator, or a dopp who wishes to pull a vote on a new player who probably won't put much of a defense because of not being familiar with the game.
Third, as I said, I suspect a team of Web-Karmina (the reasons being similar choice of targets, similar reasoning behind votes and the second immediatly changing his vote to re-balance the scales of voting). Name one reason for two people not familiar with each other have such similarities.
1. Probably because everybody in this game would like to see the Exterminator dead. The Exterminator is sought by town and dopp alike, so waiting around and not killing anyone is a pretty bad idea.
2. Your vote on Webadict was indeed not OMGUS. Your vote on Kamina was very OMGUS.
3. Because if you show two different people a blue duck, they're going to say it's a blue duck.
2. It wasn't. I voted for Web -> Karmina voted for me -> I guessed that Karmina was covering Web and that they are on the same team, which can only be dopps -> I voted for Karmina. Not that I'm bandwagoning, but I can only quote Ottofar and MBP on the subject that Karmina is thoroughly behind Web, which can only be either because a) Karmina is pro-town and somehow knows that Web is also pro-town (which is insanely impossible occurence in itself), that Ottofar and MBP are scum and I've voted for the wrong people or b) Karmina and Web are both scum (which seems to be right)
3. If you show two people a blue duck, they won't identically describe the chemical composition of paint on it and the properties of rubber from which it's made.
tl;dr:
1) What are accusations against me except Mish not being availible last night?
2) Why is everyone except Ottofar and MBP ignoring the reasons/consequences for the bond between Karmina and Web?
Other suspicions? I already gave two, with perfectly valid explanations about why I picked them. Do you expect me to start sputtering accusations like a witch under torture? And even if I will accuse someone else, it's going to be someone of those who posted something game-related since I replaced Mish, and the only ones who did voted for me, thus if I vote for them, I'll get another cry of OMGUS accusations. Thanks, I'll roll with Web and Karmina.Oddly enough, you leave Jim alone. I've been feeling he was Town, but now I'm slightly suspicious. You seem to go extra easy on him, despite him having just as much reasoning as anyone else voting you.
Great, now I'm getting bandwagon'd without any reason whatsoever. Well, time to get desperate.I'd say you're lying. I assume you'd also like to name Mr.Person as your Agent? So, basically, you used your inspection device on Janus... and didn't bother talking to your Agent? I mean, I can't argue about that part, as that was Mish, but I don't think that would happen.
What if I say I'm an Agent Operative with an Assasin Bot and Stun Orb with me?
At N1 Mish discovered the role of JTF, who's pro-town. At N2 he indeed did nothing.Your astounding lack of knowledge on how the item works is... astounding. I mean, you're CLAIMING. You'd think you would make sure that you were getting it 100% right. As if your LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! This is also how I know you're lying.
You're awfully defensive with this guy. He gives a rather crappy explanation for what he has and you're okay with it. (The Scanner thing didn't even bat an eye with you.) You think that Solifuge, being an Agent Operative wouldn't pick... Oh, I don't know...It is really unfortunate that Agent Operative is a perfect claim for Exterminator Operative.
You and Ottofar are both wrong, and I'll tell you why.
These tech choices were made by Solifuge. Scanner is an obvious choice to verify that the Agent is town, and Assassin Bot combined with the Agent's inspect is a perfect combination. Stun Orb for the hell of it.
The tech choices are not the ones an Exterminator Operative would make.
Both of yours insistence to not believe the claim pretty much confirms to me that both of you are scum.
Scanner: Works once as a combination of the Agent and Detective, showing both Race and Role as well as any gadgets or tech possessed by the player. The scanner bypasses all role effects on investigation (such as the Kook or Dopp Leader). The scanner does not use up the Alien's action, nor does it trigger any responses by the target (such as PWV or Reporter watching a location). Can be taken as a two-use item for a Medium tech slot.
First off, unovte.He is definitely scum, and more than likely the Exterminator. He claimed he was Town in spite of knowing that claiming as an Agent Operative would DEFINITELY be pro-Town. Instead, he's freaking out fast.
I believe Dariush's claim. This style doesn't seem too out of the ordinary for him. Look at the salad game. He acted all reactionary and scummy, but flipped doc. I think the consistency of his claim combined with this meta is enough to unovte him.
That said, this means my vote needs a new home. And since it's now a tie between Ottofar and I, and I'm obviously not going to vote myself, I'm going to vote...
Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.Dariush is lying. He's the Exterminator.Wait, do you know something we don't? I'd like to know how you came to this conclusion. My vote will wait until you've explained this.
It seems we're working on what is, at best, circumstantial evidence. There wasn't a kill last night when Mish wasn't around to post. That's certainly a possibility, but it's not the only possibility. Potentially, there's a dopp guardian who protected another dopp, and they're both keeping their mouths shut, or it could have been a WIFOM based no-kill (I doubt that.)Dariush admitted that he didn't action, and why would the Dopps bother covering up themselves? They would look MORE townie by admitting something like that. They also would want to get rid of the Exterminator (Who would then suspect them of being Doppelgangers and use this information to try and lynch them).
That said... Dariush isn't doing a good job of defending himself. Both his votes are serious OMGUS votes. He's acting scummy, and his only posted suspicions are against those who have recently voted him, but I'm not sold on him being the exty just yet.
Dariush: If you're not the exterminator, who is? Who do you think is a dopp?
As for myself, I'm thinking it's one of the scummy people who are out there, with my current guess being Ottofar. His explanation of his vote on Kamina (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1764374#msg1764374) is a regurgitation of the arguments of others, even going to quote the reasons of others as to why he's voting. He's trying to hide in the background, and it's failing.

That? What does the Assassin Bot do for him?
Even more so, how did you know Solifuge had time to pick the Tech? He said he didn't have any time to play on the first Day, right? So, does that mean you KNOW he picked his Tech? It would make sense as you seem to know your Alien Tech, and what would be a good choice for an Agent Operative.
You'd also make a good fakeclaim for him, wouldn't you? Perhaps there was a little more to this then I was thinking, Jimmy boy?
I love how you even go so far as to CHAINSAW DEFEND Dariush. Seriously? Are you trying to protect him by jumping in front of the bus? Because you seem to be taking all of this at face value. First, you're voting for Dariush, and suddenly one terrible explanation is enough for you?!?
Not only do you severely overestimate my trigger-finger, intelligence, and foresight, but you've also assumed me to be on par with some sort of deity.

But... why would an Exterminator take a Scanner, instead of, oh, I dunno, Intel? He has to get a Replicator first, in order to get the Scanner in the first place. The tech choices don't make all that much sense in the context of an Exterminator, but seem purposeful in the context of an Agent Operative.You're right! Man, it's almost as if he's lying about it!
... It made more sense in my head. I think I meant that the Dopps shouldn't lie about a protection so that they'll look more townlike. But, that's just my thinking on how to be scum.It seems we're working on what is, at best, circumstantial evidence. There wasn't a kill last night when Mish wasn't around to post.

I don't follow this at all. Care to elaborate or rephrase?
How about a popcorn style mass claim? You or Dariush or Leaf should start it because you've already claimed. I think it should definitely happen, though.The second sentence doesn't really make much sense. All three have already claimed our roles and all actions. So we don't start the claim, we don't have anything more to claim. If/when there's a Mass Claim, those are the only three that *can't* start it.
Important question:
- Can anyone account for the lack of a Dopp kill?
At first I didn't believe Leaf's claim, since it came conveniently after a dopp guardian was revealed, so I thought that he was trying protect against the exterminator killing him, claiming to be a survivor, to live one more night.What Dopp Guardian? There was the potential for that (still is for that matter), but the most damning evidence (catching a lie) never appeared.
But wait, how did MBP die again? That wasn't some sort of protection, was it? If it wasn't, then wasn't the flavor for the damage exty, and so that was a kill by an exty bot? Or was that just how it is for all aliens?
This flavor has so many details, and every one is so essential.
The window itself is melted, a fist-sized hole letting light in through the charred glass.This part makes me think 'Alien'
Heat still radiates from the glass and the smell of charred flesh fills the air.These make me think 'morning kill' (Assassin Bot being the only thing that does that right now)
...
He groans slightly, and you see a finger twitch.
If there was indeed no dopp kill, then I can confidently account for it: I blocked Argembarger last night. Arg, care to say anything about that?
N3 I protected Zathras, since I was almost sure he was town, and hoped that my confirmation of him being warden would mean that innocent looking enough to be worth nking. He may have been, the dopps didn't get a kill tonight.

There was the potential for that (still is for that matter), but the most damning evidence (catching a lie) never appeared.
That's not how Guard protects work. If Zathras was targeted for a night kill, you would be dead. You give up your life in exchange for his.I know that. I meant they may have still tried to kill him, but they were blocked tonight by his warden power.
This part makes me think 'Alien'
These make me think 'morning kill' (Assassin Bot being the only thing that does that right now)
I assume it's general alien Assassin Bot. Plasma beams and charring stuff is alien technology at work.Ok.
MBP wasn't protecting anyone because he died in his home.
Public mass claim it is then apparently. Shiny.
Jim Groovester and Argembarger, we still need your claims.
Otto was a dopp guardian.Oooof course he was...
It has been an hour and a half since the day has started.I'm sorry if that came out sounding harsh. I didn't mean it too. I was just saying that I had all of the information except the two of yours.
I am still at work. Jegus, man.
N3, I was blocked. Chains flavor.For the sake of completeness, who did you target N3?
Actually, do you even know what popcorn style is? It's when one person claims, then states who should claim next. This continues until everyone has claimed.Huh. No, I've never heard of that. Makes a little more sense now.
I think JanusTwoFace is actually now a confirmed townie. Toaster has said that Dariush is an Agent Operative (a town only role). Dariush has said that Jim has been scanned as town. In order for Janus to be scum, all three of them would need to be on the same scum team - and, the largest team we could possibly have has only 2 people on. As such, he could probably coordinate the town.I didn't say that Jim was scanned, it was JTF.
Why'd you pick the targets you did? What were your reasons?
Schemey potential plan:After my initial misadventures in attacking JTF, once I saw his plan described, protecting him seemed the right thing to do. Dariush getting killed would have confirmed that JTF was telling the truth. But JTF getting killed would have led us nowhere.
Dariush can verify my alignment if we can verify his role and we seem to have at least one Guardian about (although they might be a dopp).

Personally I suspect Jim but considering the majority's vote on Argembarger I doubt that counts for much. I came to that conclusion is because everyone except Argembarget and Jim has been verified (in order for Kamina to be scum, he needs to be on the same team as Toaster, which is impossible, even though his behavior is highly suspicious) and Jim is the one who hasn't put up any defense whatsoever.
And how do you figure everybody's been verified? People's roles have been verified but in many cases not alignment. For example, your alignment depends on Toaster telling the truth. And nobody can verify Leafsnail's claim.Because we can totally verify your role?
This is suspicious.
MOD: How would an Agent Operative appear to a Detective inspect? Would they get the full role name including the Agent part, or would they just come up as an Operative?
There's so much wrong with your argument that I won't even bother quoting individual errors.
1) Lynch Argembarger, he is scum, hooray.Wait, sorry, Zathras blocks the guy who can let us find the exterminator for sure?
2) Zathras blocks Toaster.
3) KaminaSquirtle protects Zathras.
If he doesn't, we lynch Leafsnail, because he's claimed Mind Shield and is an alien and that's two for three for the Exterminator and he probably has a Holoform Modulator with how he wants to be inspected twice.I want to be inspected twice to eliminate the possibility of a Holoform Modulator, numbnuts.
If neither Leafsnail nor Toaster is the Exterminator, then the next day after that, lynch me because who else is it going to be.Lol.
We run into obvious problems if the Exterminator has an Advanced Mind ShieldYou don't say. From how you've been acting, I'm totally sure you don't have one.
1) Yes, exactly. If Toaster can be verified to not be the Exterminator then you and he are both cleared. This is why it's a good idea to block Toaster first, because itFixed.investigates two people at oncemeans he won't get an exterminator result on me.
2) Or another possibility: I am actually a Kook. Somebody has to be the kook in a Paranormal. In this game it was me. True fact: If I were a dopp I could have chosen not to believe your claim and instead lynch you over Ottofar. Why would I unnecessarily bus a a fellow dopp, especially one with a role so valuable? That would've done the dopp team a lot of good. Get rid of a town Assassin Bot, possibly protect against an Exterminator kill. Things to think about.Lol.
2) Hm. MODERATOR, is it true that there MUST be a Kook?
I have the worst role in all of Paranormal. I am a Townsperson, and I am also a Kook.I find this very suspicious. However:

MBP wasn't protecting anyone because he died in his home.I don't think we know this for sure, as it seems to have been a morning kill. He could have gone out, protected someone who wasn't hit, then came back home at the end of the night, then got hit by the bot. Still, it does seem to mean he didn't die while protecting someone.
Well, what is your point then? That the Exterminator and Doppelganger are working together?This is not too far-fetched. They can't coordinate, true, but a mislynch would benefit both, and one lying to temporarily shield the other would not be a bad choice. They both have almost lost, so it could be a long shot to try and salvage something to hurt town.
But fine, I'm a Vengeful Guard.
N1, Eduren protected Zathras.
Why'd you pick the targets you did? What were your reasons?Dunno what Eduren's motives were. I can only speculate, but it doesn't seem all that important to me. It could have just been a random block for all I know, or maybe Eduren knew something about Zath at the time.
You killed Zathras! You bastards! 8-/Me! me! me! pick meee! in!First one to kill Zathras wins.
...been waiting for this for months. Don't you bastards dare kill me D1/N1!
Srsly u guis... I want to play this game. If you kill me D1/N1, I'll spam the thread (and ALL THE OTHER THREADS) with limericks... FOREVEEEEEER! Don't make me unleash the limerickraken!
Zathras - Psychic Warden (Day 2)
(role by KaminaSquirtle & Argembarger & Toaster)
N1 - Blocked Pandarsenic, N2 - Blocked KaminaSquirtle, N3 - Blocked Argembarger
Toaster - Detective (Day 4)
N1 - Inspected KaminaSquirtle (Observant Guard), N2 - Inspected Zathras (Psychic Warden), N3 - Inspected Dariush (Agent Operative)
There is no independent confirmation on his claim, and "he's telling the truth" three nights in a row is the most non-committal possible claim. If any of them were not telling the truth, they wouldn't claim to correct him in any case. Toaster goes up in my suspicion list.
JanusTwoface - Military Mad Scientist, Assassin Bot (Day 2)
(role & alignment by Dariush)
N1 - Killed Org, N2 - none, N3 - none
I'm not sold on the notion that he's confirmed townie. Only Dariush confirmed him, and in turn Toaster confirmed him. His play has been townie enough, but he can play a mean scum game by being too pro-town for our own good. If Dariush is the ext, as I mention later, then JTF could be the ext-op, would have the tech to kill Org, and would be the obvious target of Dariush later claiming PMs; he has gone far to try to clear Dariush.
Jim Groovester - Kook Townie (Day 4)
(claimed Kook Townie to me in a PM a while ago)
N1 - none, N2 - none, N3 - none
Also no independent confirmation, and a claim of kook VT is the safest fakeclaim for a dopp (not so much for an exty, but still). Can you be more specific on his PM'd claim to you? When, and what else did he say? Did it raise your suspicions at the time?
Eduren/Argembarger - Vengeful Guard
N1 - Protected Zathras, N2 - Protected Jim Groovester, N3 - Protected JTF, blocked by Zathras
No independent confirmation, but plausible. Unfortunately, your play, votes and night actions are also compatible with being the last dopp. If so, you probably tried to protect wuba last night instead of JTF.
KaminaSquirtle - Observant Guard
(role by Toaster)
N1 - Guarded Jim Groovester, N2 - Guarded Jim Groovester, blocked by Zathras, N3 - Guarded Zathras
See above about my mistrust of Toaster's claim; however I am pretty sold that Kamina is not scum, mostly because he could have had me lynched easily earlier and he didn't, and has been going against possible dopps & aliens equally strongly. Still, a possibility.
Leafsnail - Alien Survivor, Personal Shield (Night 3)
N1 - none, N2 - Shielded against doppkill, N3 - none
Plausible, but fishy. Alternative possibility: the ext did indeed not act on N2, and Leaf claimed he did, on him, "spending his shield" to clear himself.
Solifuge/Mish/Dariush - Agent Operative, Scanner, Assassin Bot, Stun Orb (Day 3)
(role by Toaster, techs by actions)
N1 - Scanned JanusTwoface (Human), N2 - none, N3 - Killed Mysteriousbluepuppet, Stunned Webadict
My objections to Toaster's claim remain, and I point out that without that bit, he could still be the exty; bots and orbs do not use up the ext's actions, he could have killed MBP, stunned and killed wuba last night.
As I said, complications. If my count is right (please tell me if it isn't!) there's one dopp, one exterminator, and maybe an exterminator operative still about, yes? I find it plausible that the dopp & ext are at least not all out to get each other at the moment, as a mislynch would benefit both.
Derp derp advanced mindshield derp
I want to be inspected twice to eliminate the possibility of a Holoform Modulator, numbnuts.
1) So, you mean that Toaster is exterminator and lied, somehow managing to get correct guesses about those he 'detected'? Hm, that makes sense, however I don't think it is likely. Will block by Zathras also prevent his detect? If no, I guess it is a good idea to block him.
2) Hm. MODERATOR, is it true that there MUST be a Kook?
3) By 'confirmed' I meant 'his role is known and he is not a scum'.
4) By 'offered to lynch' I meant 'voted for him'. Also, I'm absolutely sure that Argembarger isn't scum; as I pointed out earlier, there was no dopp kill not because Zathras blocked him, but because I stunned Web. However, you seem to ignore that argument and not offer any reasons whatsoever as to why he's scum.
I guess that extends the list of possible scum to include Toaster, but you are still at the top of it.
No shit, Sherlocke. If you've got a problem with my plan then think of a better one.Weird you should say this. The exterminator is probably the one who should care the most about what happens.
ohwait youre the exterminator you dont care
But the Holoform Modulator is exactly why role inspects are unreliable.For one night, and one night only. Hence, if I'm inspected twice... the chance of a holoform modulator is gone.
What's to stop whoever the Exterminator is from just killing Toaster tomorrow night after he gets whatever inspect the Holoform Modulator gives him? This is your plan, isn't it?Derp derp Kaminasquirtle derp
The person most likely to be dopp in my mind is Argembarger, but I'm not nearly as sure of him as before. There is no reason for him to have lied about his role, and if he did he should have protected Wuba. Also Dariush stun-orbed Wuba. So actually, scratch that, I'm not that sure of him being dopp at all.
And you, Dariush, since there's no other real explanation for the exterminator no kill.
JanusTwoface - Military Mad Scientist, Assassin Bot (Day 2)In order for this theory to work, I, Toaster and JTF have to be (together) dopp, ext and ext-op AND ext-team should be working with dopps. Don't you find that EXTREMELY improbable?
(role & alignment by Dariush)
N1 - Killed Org, N2 - none, N3 - none
I'm not sold on the notion that he's confirmed townie. Only Dariush confirmed him, and in turn Toaster confirmed him. His play has been townie enough, but he can play a mean scum game by being too pro-town for our own good. If Dariush is the ext, as I mention later, then JTF could be the ext-op, would have the tech to kill Org, and would be the obvious target of Dariush later claiming PMs; he has gone far to try to clear Dariush.
On the contrary - things have gotten pretty desperate for dopps so it would be the safest course of action to lynch one of fellow dopps to remain out of suspicion.Quote from: Jim2) Or another possibility: I am actually a Kook. Somebody has to be the kook in a Paranormal. In this game it was me. True fact: If I were a dopp I could have chosen not to believe your claim and instead lynch you over Ottofar.Nothing says there must be a kook; but it is true that your bussing Ottofar would make no sense.
1) Well, Zathras has already said what I was thinking - if he WAS lying (and therefore some of his suspects were lying), nobody would admit it. If he claimed at least one lie, that could be used to determine his true role, but this way he may as well be scum.1) So, you mean that Toaster is exterminator and lied, somehow managing to get correct guesses about those he 'detected'? Hm, that makes sense, however I don't think it is likely. Will block by Zathras also prevent his detect? If no, I guess it is a good idea to block him.
2) Hm. MODERATOR, is it true that there MUST be a Kook?
3) By 'confirmed' I meant 'his role is known and he is not a scum'.
4) By 'offered to lynch' I meant 'voted for him'. Also, I'm absolutely sure that Argembarger isn't scum; as I pointed out earlier, there was no dopp kill not because Zathras blocked him, but because I stunned Web. However, you seem to ignore that argument and not offer any reasons whatsoever as to why he's scum.
I guess that extends the list of possible scum to include Toaster, but you are still at the top of it.
1) He wouldn't have to guess, he would just have to use the claims everybody had made at that point to construct a reasonable list of targets for a Detective inspect. But I'm fairly inclined to believe him, because the people he chose (or claimed to choose) is an extremely reasonable list that matches well with his suspicions at the time as well as current events during the game. So that's why I think it's a good idea to verify him first.
2) You heard it from Meph that there doesn't have to be one. But I am one.
3) Then quit using confirmed like that. It has specific meaning.
4) Are you certain it was your stun on webadict that prevented the dopp kill and not Zathras' block on Argembarger? There's no way you can be absolutely certain about that.
Argembarger chose not to believe your claim, which is something he shared with webadict and Ottofar who both surprise surprise turned out to be scum. Then there was his throng of completely useless questions which he asked just to look like he was trying to contribute and then his reasonless FoSes on Ottofar and Leafsnail which he withdrew. (Why would anyone give a reasonless FoS on two people, one of whom flipped scum? Hint: He was trying to distance himself from them two when they flipped scum.)What.
JanusTwoface - Military Mad Scientist, Assassin Bot (Day 2)In order for this theory to work, I, Toaster and JTF have to be (together) dopp, ext and ext-op AND ext-team should be working with dopps. Don't you find that EXTREMELY improbable?

N1 - Killed Org, N2 - none, N3 - none
I'm not sold on the notion that he's confirmed townie. Only Dariush confirmed him, and in turn Toaster confirmed him. His play has been townie enough, but he can play a mean scum game by being too pro-town for our own good. If Dariush is the ext, as I mention later, then JTF could be the ext-op, would have the tech to kill Org, and would be the obvious target of Dariush later claiming PMs; he has gone far to try to clear Dariush.
On the contrary - things have gotten pretty desperate for dopps so it would be the safest course of action to lynch one of fellow dopps to remain out of suspicion.Quote from: Jim2) Or another possibility: I am actually a Kook.

Even if I take that lie for a simple mistake, there's still not a single verifiable argument in your favor, and you are the most likely dopp of the currently alive.
4) Web WAS dopp, so in order of that to work dopps would have placed the kill not on the leader, but on an adjectiveless dopp who was already under suspicion.
Let me review that - Argembarger accused Ottofar, who turned out to be scum... And that makes him scum himself?

To have holoform modulator, I'd have to get Replicator and use it for modulator on the precise night of inspection (if I understand correctly how it works), and that is pretty unlikely setup considering Toaster isn't proven Detective.JanusTwoface - Military Mad Scientist, Assassin Bot (Day 2)In order for this theory to work, I, Toaster and JTF have to be (together) dopp, ext and ext-op AND ext-team should be working with dopps.

Improbable? maybe. Extremely? not really. I didn't imply dopp involvement was mandatory for that; Toaster could be the ext and lie about his inspection of you, his op, and you merely not choosing to correct him; in this case JTF could still be a misled townie. Only two of the three are needed to be scum, and since you're in the middle (Toaster inspected you, you claimed to JTF), you are the most likely... Or Toaster may be honest, but you have a scan-fooling modulator and felt safe "claiming" to your operative JTF... Other combinations are possible, and some require more coincides than others, but none are "EXTREMELY improbable", no.
If you think Arg's attack on Ottofar makes it less likely he's scum, why is it not so for Jim? You are being inconsistent there.Because Jim voting for Ottofar fits with aforementioned WIFOM. It seems that Argembarger will hang today anyway, so if he flips town, that'll be certain proof that Jim is scum.
Argembarger's FoS wandered onto Ottofar but his vote never did, and that's the important thing. If you say you suspect somebody it's generally expected that you will vote them at some point, to make good on your suspicions. Argembarger never did.Saying you suspect someone but not voting for them is scummy, is that what you are saying? But weren't it YOU who asked me to state my suspicions when I replaced Mish? (or is FoS something other than simply stating whom you suspect?...)
This invites several questions. If you don't vote the people you say you suspect, then why FoS them?
It's a preparatory measure in case they flip scum. You can say you suspected them because look you made that FoS a while ago. It serves to distance yourself from your teammates, which is something that you want because their flip will lead to you. This is classic scum behavior and it is easily detectable.
1) But this doesn't make sense, because it implies more scum in the game than are currently available. If Toaster is lying because he does not know somebody else is lying, that's at least two scum right there. It's more likely that everybody he inspected is telling the truth, and he could be lying about his role.
2) Not a single verifiable argument in my favor? How about you cut the bullshit out right now. I've been throwing you arguments for the past two days and you've done nothing but shit on them with single line ripostes. This is fucking ridiculous. I can't help it if you have the intellectual capacity of a toad with its head smashed on a rock, but it's still my problem if you want to expertly demonstrate the paucity of your intellect because you're voting for me. So, here's what you need to do. 1) Pull your head out of your ass. 2) Revel in the cleanliness of the fresh air now filling your lungs. 3) Stop being a fucking moron and actually think this shit through.
KOOK CLAIM =/= DOPPELGANGER
If you automatically believe I am a dopp because of my Kook claim, then you're taking the idiot crown from the idiot Pope and declaring yourself the idiot emperor of the idiot empire and posturing yourself as greater than idiot God in the process. And for fuck's sake, I asked you what else you had beside this, and you didn't say a goddamn thing. How about you read my goddamned posts and answer my questions for once.
4) It's not likely but it's still possible.
There was a one vote difference between you and Ottofar. The power to choose who lived or died rested entirely with me. I chose Ottofar over you. If I was a dopp I just shot myself in the fucking foot for no good reason. For a little WIFOM, I lost two teammates and a kill. That's a horrible trade.I wouldn't call that WIFOM 'little' - far from it. If you're a dopp, you're free to kill anyone without anyone suspecting you. If you're town...
So, Toaster. Mostly because I don't trust his inspection results ("they all told the truth" is far too convenient a fakeclaim), but I'll support a lynch of Dariush or Argembarger as well.
So, Toaster. Mostly because I don't trust his inspection results ("they all told the truth" is far too convenient a fakeclaim), but I'll support a lynch of Dariush or Argembarger as well.Would you rather I type out what results I had gotten? It would have been just the same as typing out their role names. I can't help that those who I inspected claimed before me. I'm not sure what you're looking for from me here.
Anyway, here are my ordered dopp and exty suspicion lists. If a name isn't on the list, I don't think it's possible you're that scum.Yes. I think the consensus is complete, isn't it? Other than Dariush, is anyone not voting him? A consensus this complete makes me uneasy, but yeah, it is the right lynch, I think, so let's do it.
Dopp:
Argembarger (I've said why)[...]
Exty:[...]
Dariush (Had assassin bot, would require adv. holo)
Janus (Ditto with above, but his play is more townie OR Janus/Dar team)
Mod: clarification please: An operative gets 1 medium tech and 2 small, yes? Can the two small be exchanged for one medium? By this I mean: can an operative get both an assassin bot and combat camo? Also, the ext and ext-op can share tech; how does this work with combat camo? Say the ext chose camo, but gave it to the op for night one, then the ext's kill will not be masked, but the op's kill would, yes?
Leafsnail, why did you claim Survivor in the middle of the night in a PM to everybody? And why did you neglect to mention that you had a Mind Shield until today?Simple answer? I didn't want to be lynched or NK'd. Since I'm, y'know, a survivor. The later in the game it is, the less sense it makes for anyone on any side to kill me.
No other real explanation my ass. How about Ottofar protecting a dopp the Exterminator targeted?Wow, it's funny how you wait until now to point this out.
The WhiteboardQuote from: ToasterDopp: Argembarger (I've said why)[...]Yes. I think the consensus is complete, isn't it? Other than Dariush, is anyone not voting him? A consensus this complete makes me uneasy, but yeah, it is the right lynch, I think, so let's do it.
Argembarger: Jim Groovester, Leafsnail, Toaster, Zathras
Jim Groovester : KaminaSquirtle, Dariush
KaminaSquirtle: JanusTwoface

Thanks Mep. For the group: where I was going with this question was about Janus/Dariush as a team. For them to be it, they'd need two bots, combat camo, a stun orb and a modulator. Ext gets 1 large, 1 medium; he takes replicator and bot. Op gets 1 medium, 2 small; he gets bot, orb, mod. Replicator creates camo. Night one, the Exty Dariush gives camo to Janus the Op, Janus gives the Exty the modulator, Janus bots Org, Dariush (then Soli or Mish or whoever) kills Cript (or Exty Janus keeps camo and makes both kills). Night two, exty does not act or hits Leafsail. Night three Janus/Dariush concoct the claim plan, and were told Toaster inspected and gave the "agent op" as result; Janus gives Dariush the orb, who then goes and gets his way with MBP and Wuba, or one hits MBP and the other Wuba.That is hilariously complex plan. However, if I was the exty, why would have I picked Assassin bot? Wouldn't it be more logical to take camo from the start and just skip replicator step, taking something else for the large tech and claim that my bot-kill of MBP was blocked?

Also, there's a possibility that JTF is Exty who used modulator on the night of Mish's scanning, which shouldn't be overlooked.
Meph: just one more question: can the camo be turned on/off at will? Say I'm the Ext and have camo, can I choose to mask my bot kill, but not my standard night kill? Also, since the ext and op can share tech, can they share the camo on the same night, masking both of their kills? (say I NK with camo, I give it to my op, who bots someone else, also masking it?)
Bots can't be blocked.Even by Anti-Tech field?
And why exactly would JTF (if he IS Exty) pick camo?Er, I forgot to add 'in case he's working without Op'.
Why didn't you claim Kook Day 1?
It didn't seem like a good idea. There's been several Paranormal games where Day 1 Kook claims end really badly for the person who's doing it, even if they were claiming truthfully. Additionally, I didn't trust Mr.Person's call for it.
Assassin Bot can be used at the same time as the regular kill, so the camo isn't needed.Sort of possible.
Janus theory: Took Bot and Replicator, replicated up adv. holo
N1: Kill Cript, bot Org, holo blows on Dariush
N2: Hit Leaf's shield
N3: Kill Web
It could be solo, but as I said before, I doubt it.

- Small Tech
- Holoform Modulator: Works once when investigated, allowing the alien to choose a role and race to show as. Once activated it lasts the entire night but is used up after that. Does not use up the Alien's action for that night.
- Medium Tech
- Advanced Holoform Modulator: Works as the Holoform Modulator, but also allows the Alien to project an active hologram. This hologram can be shown to go to any location (or stay at home). Anyone following the Alien will watch the Hologram instead of the Alien. Does not use up the Alien's action for that night.
Zathras' explinations for how I could be an Alien:Occam's Razor doesn't apply when there is an intentional effort to deceive, which is the case in this game. And gambits are common here, aren't they? Yes, we should be looking deep.
Occam's Razor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor) and/or Xantos Gambit (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit) (don't click that link if you value your free time)
Granted, it's always possible for things to go complex in Mafia, but we're no-where near the point where it's necessary to look that deep.
Problems:Dariush's modulator works around this.
- If I'm the Exterminator and Dariush is my Agent, then why did Toaster lie about the claim? (He'd have to be a Dopp and working with us)
- Also, why would he fake-claim that he scanned me? He'd know (or at least I'd know) that it's a death sentence for me as soon as he dies......if he dies. And he'd still would have your possible modulator as an excuse.
- If I'm the Exterminator and Dariush isn't my Agent, why'd he claim to clear me? It'd be better for the Agent Operative to get the Exterminator killed.Again, your modulator could have fooled him. It's one minor piece of small tech, that the exty could get from a replicator of his Op, so it seems like a reasonably safe choice to make that one exists or has existed in the game.
Occam's Razor doesn't apply when there is an intentional effort to deceive, which is the case in this game. And gambits are common here, aren't they? Yes, we should be looking deep.The specific gambit though. That I would have had to plan all of this in advance. Essentially, I wish I had.
Well my arguments are already pretty much laid out already.Protecting a confirmed townie wouldn't really confirm you unless you managed to kill the Exterminator in doing so. You could just as easily claimed you had protected someone and still do the Dopp kill or actually protect someone and forgo the Dopp kill for a night.
I still think it would be better if I was allowed to protect confirmed town tonight and prove myself, but it's not like we're at LyLo.
And I hadn't remembered the bot flavor, as you mentioned it. Org was killed by a Human Assassin bot (see Dariush's kill's flavor for the counterpoint) and no one else has claimed the kill. So either I'm Human or I used Combat Camo on that kill but not Criptfeinds.
1) Is that possible? I don't remember seeing it confirmed or denyed that Exterminators could use the Camo on kills other than their native one. The wording is vague, but leans towards no IMO.
2) Do you think I would have thought that far ahead? (This is the Xantos Gambit part)
1) Is that possible? I don't remember seeing it confirmed or denyed that Exterminators could use the Camo on kills other than their native one. 1) Yes, Meph confirmed it earlier today. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=69553.msg1779822#msg1779822)Neat.
2) It's not that complex a gambit, essentially all it would require is to think ahead to use the camo as a tool for misdirection (masking some kills, but not others); this would be a novel strategy, but not particularly far fetched, and Jim's earlier comments show that it has potential to work. So yes, I do think you are devious enough to try it.Why thank you. Wish I had. :)
Night actions:
(Note: these are just what I would do, feel free to ignore me.)
If Argembarger is town:
- Zathras should block Leafsnail (see below) or one of the people that shouldn't have an action. Might block kill, at least will confirm Zathras again (not that that's necessary).
- Toaster should inspect Jim Groovester. The Kook bit will have no effect. If he's a Dopp Townie, then he would have done the night kill rather than Webadict.
- KaminaSquirtle should guard Toaster or Zathras (without telling us which), they're the most likely to find the dopp.
If Argembarger is the Dopp:
- Zathras should block Leafsnail. The flavor should tell us if he has a Mind Shield or Advanced Mind Shield.
- Toaster should inspect Dariush (to remove the possibility of a Holoform) or Leafsnail (and again the next night to counter a Holoform).
- KaminaSquirtle still on Toaster or Zathras.
Leafsnail, why did you claim Survivor in the middle of the night in a PM to everybody? And why did you neglect to mention that you had a Mind Shield until today?Simple answer? I didn't want to be lynched or NK'd. Since I'm, y'know, a survivor. The later in the game it is, the less sense it makes for anyone on any side to kill me.
For example, here are some straightforward theories:
Toaster could have been lying about his role because it would be easy to fake claim.
Leafsnail could be lying about being a Survivor, as he is two for three for the Exterminator already, and the staggered nature of his claim is suspicious.
Here are some theories that are not straightforward.
JTF and Dariush could be the Exterminator team because they could have picked a Holoform Modulator along with several Assassin Bots as well as Combat Camouflage, which they only used to mask one kill, fake claimed Scanner usage on Day 3, and somehow managed to time their Holoform Modulator perfectly with Toaster's Detective inspect.
I think Zathras' block should go elsewhere, but it's obviously not up to me.
KaminaSquirtle, if I were the Exterminator, why would I claim Kook? Of aaaaaaall potential roles I could choose, why would I pick the worst one ever?Because I'm an idiot and always manage to forget a key detail or two whenever I have an idea?
Isn't Zathras blocking Leafsnail completely pointless? I don't see why Leafsnail would claim Mind Shield when he had an Advanced Mind Shield, especially if he was the Exterminator. The WIFOM of getting a false positive would be too valuable. I think at best Zathras would just be confirming that Leafsnail has a Mind Shield if he did that, and we don't learn anything new for tomorrow.I'm going on the theory that an Exterminator would have chosen the Advanced Mind Shield, thus not being blocked would be the telling condition for Zathras. Had I been the Exterminator, I probably would have, but I guess not everyone would.
I think Zathras' block should go elsewhere, but it's obviously not up to me.
I'm right there with you on Toaster, hard to test for, though; less so on Leaf, but it's certainly plausible.Not really hard to test, if he was lying he's the last Dopp. Just block him or lynch him tomorrow. Granted, the problem with both of those is that if he's innocent, we lose a Detective / his scan tonight. Getting one more scan and lynching him if nothing better comes up tonight seems like a stronger plan.
You guys are overthinking this by quite a bit, I think. Sure, there could be ext-op, but that would meant there were six scum this game. I don't know about anyone else, but that seems like quite a few to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that would make for a balanced game. I just think that there are way too many conditions for this theory for it to be likely to be true. It's still possible, but I think it's unlikely.Six scum isn't necessarily too strong, given that they are on two opposing teams. Each time needs to wipe out the other to win, so while it's possible for them to work together in the early game, they have to kill each other eventually. Look back into one of the earlier Paranormals where there were Cultists and Dopps (both roughly equivalent Mafia groups) and all the cross-killing fun that went on there...
Thanks Mep. For the group: where I was going with this question was about Janus/Dariush as a team. For them to be it, they'd need two bots, combat camo, a stun orb and a modulator.

Night two, exty does not act or hits Leafsail. Night three Janus/Dariush concoct the claim plan, and were told Toaster inspected and gave the "agent op" as result; Janus gives Dariush the orb, who then goes and gets his way with MBP and Wuba, or one hits MBP and the other Wuba.All of the tech could work out. Heck, it's actually a reasonable set of choices for an Exterminator / Operative combination, I'll give you that.
KaminaSquirtle, if I were the Exterminator, why would I claim Kook? Of aaaaaaall potential roles I could choose, why would I pick the worst one ever?It seriously looks like you could've copied this from the mafiascum wiki page for "WIFOM" then added then added in the relevant details.
If I were the Exterminator, why would I claim Kook? Of aaaaaaall potential roles I could choose, why would I pick the worst one ever?
I'm going on the theory that an Exterminator would have chosen the Advanced Mind Shield, thus not being blocked would be the telling condition for Zathras.
I'm right there with you on Toaster, hard to test for, though; less so on Leaf, but it's certainly plausible.Not really hard to test, if he was lying he's the last Dopp. Just block him or lynch him tomorrow.
I'm going on the theory that an Exterminator would have chosen the Advanced Mind Shield, thus not being blocked would be the telling condition for Zathras.
Meph, a question: just like the combat camo, can the advanced mindshield be turned on/off or toned down at will? I mean, if I had an adv. mindshield, could I choose to use it as a normal one so my blocker would know his block failed instead of getting the misleading "success" message?
An Advanced Mind Shield could be turned off for a night (as could a regular Tech mindshield, but not a natural one). However, that would have to be stated without knowing whether or not they'll be targeted that night.That's sensical. Makes it rather worthless for Zathras to target Leafsnail though. Hmm.
But if he flips Dopp, that means that Toaster isn't. It'd be really stupid at this point for town to lie, so that'd mean that he's the Exterminator. In which case, he didn't lie on any case except maybe Dariush being his Operative, because the rest were confirmed by who would then have to be town. And if that's the case, then we can theoretically lynch/block Toaster. If the game doesn't end with his death then Dariush is the Operative...Well, yeah; if Arg flips town that is a valid test. I rather meant it would be hard to test if Arg flips as the last dopp, as we all seem to think he will.I'm right there with you on Toaster, hard to test for, though; less so on Leaf, but it's certainly plausible.Not really hard to test, if he was lying he's the last Dopp. Just block him or lynch him tomorrow.
Well, if I'm not getting blocked tonight, I do know who I am investigating. I'll PM the name to someone I trust in the night.I would actually suggest that everyone (well, the people with night actions) do this if they don't mind. Basically, it will give us a way to still get some information if they die and can allow us to keep them at least somewhat honest.
KaminaSquirtle, if I were the Exterminator, why would I claim Kook? Of aaaaaaall potential roles I could choose, why would I pick the worst one ever?It seriously looks like you could've copied this from the mafiascum wiki page for "WIFOM" then added then added in the relevant details.
The answer is very simple: So you'd be able to sayQuoteIf I were the Exterminator, why would I claim Kook? Of aaaaaaall potential roles I could choose, why would I pick the worst one ever?
I mean, if you have a modulator, you can make yourself appear as any role. If you don't, well, you're screwed if you're inspected whatever role you chose, so why not pick a super-WIFOM one?
Meph, the Exterminator Mind Shield is classified as a natural one then, right?
One more, then: Meph, does the alien survivor get a natural mind shield?
With clever editing I could say the exact same thing about your role. I mean, Survivor with a Mind Shield just screams Exterminator trying to fake claim.Yeah, but I haven't been WIFOMing my ass off about it in the same way you have.
You gather again, the few of you that are left.
KaminaSquirtle, however, fails to show up. Glumly you head off towards his house. [...] you see that he was known for being a very Observant Guard.
Zathras speaks up. "I...may now know where he died". He leads you back to his house.
Jim is indeed a Townsperson. What'd you find out, Zath?
This day's going to be quick. Shorten, anyone?
I concur. Shorten.
Also, why did this night last for TWO AND A HALF days instead of one?!
Just so you know, I'm going to protect Zathras tonight, Janus.

Zathras speaks up. "I...may now know where he died". He leads you back to his house.
Also, why did this night last for TWO AND A HALF days instead of one?!
If the game is not over after this, we can discuss alternatives for the Ext Op then. It's not like there'll be many options.
- Exterminator
Race: Alien
Goal: Kill
Rules: The doppelganger infestation is a danger to the Alien's people, and it and all traces of it must be wiped from the Earth. The Alien kills one person a night. The Alien wins when they and thier Operative (if there is one) are the only ones left alive. The Exterminator always has a Mind Shield.
Tech: 1 Medium and 1 Large Tech Slot
Victory: All non-Exterminator aligned players are dead
Some more information, KaminaSquirtle sent me this last night:Just so you know, I'm going to protect Zathras tonight, Janus.
Two options:
- Toaster attacked Zathras and was outed by KaminaSquirtle.
- Zathras is lying to frame Toaster.
If we mislynch today and there *is* actually an Exterminator Operative about, that means it will be 2v2 tomorrow and we lose.
Quote from: ZathrasIf the game is not over after this, we can discuss alternatives for the Ext Op then.Why are you so sure that there is an Exterminator Operative?
Oh right, forgot to vote for Zathras for his sinful habit of lying.
Sure, might as well shorten. The wool will come off your eyes soon enough, though.
Interesting thought. Option one is of course the most directly probable one. For the second one to be true, Kamina, Argembarger and Dariush would have to have lied about the "chains flavour" thing; a warden can't be an Exterminator. Can you think of a reason or combination of reasons for a townie, a dopp and an alien to all agree to lie for me, three days in a row?Luckily / sadly no. It would have been impressive though. I'll admit to not thinking through all of the details before posting. I didn't want the shortens to end the day before even getting a chance to say anything (although I don't think that would have happened in any case).
Another interesting point. But the Op would need to still have a kill left, they don't kill by default, but may have another bot or bomb or something, I don't know. Still, it would also need that I was lying about Toaster, and that all of the above lied for me earlier.No, just the exterminator kill. Losing 1 to mislynch and 1 to the Extermintor kill would have put us at 2v2 by itself.
But it's good you're thinking of options. Will you cast a vote? Will you object to the shorten request?I can't really fit all of the details though, so you're probably right. Toaster and no.
Oh right, forgot to vote for Zathras for his sinful habit of lying.
Jim is indeed a Townsperson.
Townie
Visible Role: No Role
Doppelganger
Visible Role: No Role
Survivor
Visible Role: No Role
Detective
Rules: During the night, the Detective can investigate a character to determine what role, if any, the character possesses. Roles with the 'Visible Role' tag will show that role instead of thier actual Role.
There ain't such thing as a "Townsperson" role, if you had been a detective you would have seen "no role", which could also be true of a survivor (or a number of dopps, but we're out of those), so your very original "he's telling the truth" is you taking the safe fakeclaim route again.
I won't stand for that slight to my honor, sir!
You'll just have to live with the uncertainty though! At least I purged some of your dopp scum for you.
And with that claim, I call for an End Day.As opposed to just shortening?
Nights will last for 24 hours or until I've heard from each player with a night role, whichever comes first.
In the event of night role collision, see the order of presidence below. All actions within the same level are assumed to happen simultaniously.
The Doppelgangers may choose to skip thier night kill. They may only do this twice in a row before their bloodlust forces them to kill.
The public flavour is probably because there's no way it wouldn't come to light anyway.True enough, but public confirmation for anything is always powerful. I felt the same way about being able to set off the day-killing Assassin Bots in the thread versus PM.
Uhm.. whatever; I assume shortening means day lasts 24 hours instead of 48, while ending means "as soon as Meph gets around to it". Since the lynch is inevitable, the sooner the better so we can either celebrate or evaluate where we are... speaking of which, Meph, a question:And with that claim, I call for an End Day.As opposed to just shortening?
# Survivor
Visable Role: No Role
Race: Alien
Goal: Survive
Rules: The Alien is there for some other purpose, and is simply hiding as a human. Their only goal is to survive until the end of the game. They win as long as they are alive, regardless of which side wins.
Tech: 1 Small Tech Slot
Victory: Is alive and unabducted at the end of the game
# Exterminator
Race: Alien
Goal: Kill
Victory: All non-Exterminator aligned players are dead
The public flavour is probably because there's no way it wouldn't come to light anyway.True enough, but public confirmation for anything is always powerful. I felt the same way about being able to set off the day-killing Assassin Bots in the thread versus PM.
Well, you could easily announce a kill in the thread AND send a pm at the same time. There's no real reason not to allow it.Nah, the better solution (in my opinion) is what we have now with no day actions. This way, all actions happen during the night / morning and you get a little more cross actions going on. Basically, making it harder to auto-confirm either role or alignment. There's still some of it, but just judging from the craziness that's been going on from my Assassin Bot and Zathras' blockings it's working to suppress confirmation without a significant amount of effort.
If the game is not over, and the survivor would help the Ext Op win, then we should lynch Leafsnail first, instead of risking a mislynch on the Op... just a thought.I wouldn't be opposed to lynching Leafsnail, if only to get him for dogging me for so long... >:( :) Doesn't seem like something that needs doing. Especially with his most recent response.
I don't get what you guys are talking about here regarding the public flavour... is it about Kamina's death, or Jim's role? As far as Jim's, I think a detective would explicitly get "no role" instead of "townsperson", as I read the rules, otherwise they'd get "townsperson" for survivors too; and Toaster did claim he asked Meph what a detective would see, and then forgot...Kamina's death and the Assassin Bot from previous rounds. The day opening flavor said that Kamina's body was found at your house and that you might know something about it. Which basically confirmed that he tried to guard you and that (because we knew he was an Observant Guard) you would know who the Exterminator was. It has more weight than you claiming the same thing because the mod won't lie. You could. Be mistaken, sure. But not lie. (except in a bastard mod, which at least this round Paranormal isn't)
I'm not gonna side with the operative. He has no kill, and no sway over me.But you'd say this no matter what you actually were planning... If you said you were going to work with the (still hypothetical) Exterminator Operative, then we'd lynch you just to be sure. Not a terribly solid plan. Especially when you still easily *be* the Operative...
Gee, I dunno, I think we need to really overanalyze and overthink things in this stage of the game.Nothing else to do really, other than hope I'm wrong and wait for the game to end... :)
The survivor plays with the side that's winning.I think that's for Meph to answer... I don't think it's your choice at all, just a function of who's left.
Pop quiz: With 5 players alive (including two confirmed townies and a roleblocker) and 1 scum who has no kill, who's winning?Who are these "confirmed townies" of whom you speak? I may be overly paranoid, but I'm not quite 100% sold on any of you scummaggots being confirmed.
Right there with ya'. Sure, it's not useful in the strictest sense of the word, but it's fun. Jim, don't be a humourless git again.Gee, I dunno, I think we need to really overanalyze and overthink things in this stage of the game.Nothing else to do really, other than hope I'm wrong and wait for the game to end... :)
New theory. Can anyone poke any holes in it:If that's the tech they still have, it's not even risky, it's just random chance and their only choice. Not like they can change it or choose their targets. Yes, there's that outside chance of them still winning, and there's still some tech unaccounted for. We'll see. It's also true that we don't quite know if the Op has no kills left, which makes the question of Leafsnail's ultimate siding and lynching more important.
- Toaster has a Deadman's Bomb. When he dies he takes me (as the last to vote) and some random person with him. (3 players left, assuming that Leafsnail and an Operative survive, 2 are Alien)
- Toaster had an Assassin Bot left, which he gave to his Operative (could have been Dariush)
- The Operative uses the Assassin Bot to kill the remaining Townie.
- Leafsnail and the Operative win.
It depends the Survivor being able to be counted as Exterminator-aligned and on the Deadman Bomb's second target not hitting Leafsnail or the Operative, but it could work (so far as I can tell). It's risky, but it's better than no chance at all.
Uh, what I meant is that I'll play for the side that's winning because that's what a survivor does. Especially if the scum has no kill...The survivor plays with the side that's winning.I think that's for Meph to answer... I don't think it's your choice at all, just a function of who's left.
Who are these "confirmed townies" of whom you speak? I may be overly paranoid, but I'm not quite 100% sold on any of you scummaggots being confirmed.Frankly, I'd be staggered if you, Janus or Dariush are scum.
You guys better not all get lynched/killed and leave me the last one aliveHeh.
D:<
That would be a crazy ridiculous situation for me.
Hm... I'm actually more scared of Toaster. I think he's the Exterminator.Heh.
Woohoo! We win! High five!
Also, this is my first town win ever! Tastes much sweeter than a scum win. Cheers!
Awesome game.
This was quite unnecessarily difficult of a game for me to play as my first mafia game ever, let alone being scum, let alone replacing in in media res.
Plus Jim kind of scares me as a player. So there's that.
I would just come back to life.
I would just come back to life.
What if I outmaverick'd you and changed to Sarah Palin?
Intel wasn't as much help as I thought it'd be- it mostly let me know what role threats there were, and whose claims I could believe. (As it turned out, all of them. I'm the only person whose role claim was BS.)I only now realise that intel let you do a relatively safe fakeclaim as detective... too bad that you went for "they all told the truth", which seemed too convenient to be not scummy. Still, yes, I would have thought intel would be more useful.
Zath, I was really hoping for the dopps to kill you off for me. I'm rather surprised they didn't, but I guess they figured you were getting guard coverage.They tried on N3, but I blocked Arg, who was tasked with the kill (reading the dopp chat, I find it amusing that wuba decided not to kill because he was sure I would block him, we double-bluff'd each other all the way), and I was amply protected N3. They should have done it N2, after the Pandar lynch, when I was still under suspicion of being an alien and wasn't protected; though their choice of Mr.Person did make sense at the time, if they had hit me instead I would have died and Mr.P would have his "human" result on wuba... This, plus your auspicious offing of webadict, were the two things that sealed the dopps fate. Good riddance, scum! 8-P
I propose for the next game that everyone with a Mind Shield, Tech Shield, or Kook-iness claims on Day 1 or faces the gallows.While I don't really disagree, I can see why people wouldn't. In a sixteen people game, if only one claims Kook, unless he's played a stellar town game or there's an obviously scummier target, he's going to die that day, just in case he's protecting himself as a dopp against an inspection. Sure, if more than one does, it's not as dangerous, but that's prisoners' dilemma all over your face, plus there may be only one (as in this game), and the scum may wish to complicate matters.
Hooray, my first mafia game is a win! :)You did OK. Not great, but OK. Far from "none worse", so no worries. Also, you should feel honoured, some of us have waited ages for a Paranormal town win, and you got one on your first shot... damn punk whippersnappers.... now get off my lawn! 8-P
Too bad I made such a mess out of it :( Having to claim due to mass suspicion on my first day, which still left me likely to hang... Has anybody ever played worse?! :'(
As far as I'm concerned, you still should of claimed it.Should have. He should'VE claimed it, you mean. I know others have given you shit for that before, but the game's over and it's just us chickens now, so who cares. This game is about reading and writing, and you are good at it, but every time you say "of" instead of "have", or at least "'ve" (should've is perfectly fine), it makes my soul bleed a little; just like misusing loose, their, or its. Please, try to conjugate the few verbs that English mandates be conjugated. You should HAVE known better. But enough about that, I'll shut up now... unless you insist.
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm going to give non-claimers a fuck of a lot more shit than the people who do claim such things. And seriously, if the town can't get over "Kook=scum!", then they're gonna lose anyways.Do what you feel you must, and I insist that I agree with the sentiment, but I can't in good conscience condemn those who choose caution instead. We both may point to this conversation in the future so both pros and cons are laid out.
Zathras, you do realize that Exties can choose to start with either a Mind Shield or Anti-Tech Shield, right?No, I don't. Exterminators are (as of now) guaranteed a Mind shield. They can choose to upgrade to an advanced one or get an anti-tech field (advanced or otherwise) as part of their tech choices (though small tech items require them to have an Op or a replicator). At least as far as I understand the rules:
Exterminator
Race: Alien
Goal: Kill
Rules: The doppelganger infestation is a danger to the Alien's people, and it and all traces of it must be wiped from the Earth. The Alien kills one person a night. The Alien wins when they and thier Operative (if there is one) are the only ones left alive. The Exterminator always has a Mind Shield.
Tech: 1 Medium and 1 Large Tech Slot
Victory: All non-Exterminator aligned players are dead
Zath (and Meph): The rules need to be updated, actually. It's in the Paranormal rules discussion thread (and my role PM) that Exty can now choose mind shield or anti-tech. I could have pointed that out for a bit of WIFOM, but I didn't want to risk drawing attention to me via it.
Arg never claimed his anti-tech field, either, and I don't recall Dariush claiming his. I did know that if my scanner failed on someone, I would off them the next night- both of their roles were on my "To Kill" list.
You scared me sometimes and I was town.Quote from: ArgembargerPlus Jim kind of scares me as a player. So there's that.
This pleases me immensely.
Remember,
I always know.
