I didn't?

Huh? Weird, I typed out a post and thought I sent it in somewhere between my two other posts so far. Sorry about that.

Generally I was agreeable with the plan that a watcher should come forward to claim if they happened to be watching Debonair Danny DiPietro. But I've changed my mind now (3 paragraphs down).

@all: Is anyone else really weirded out by charter's behaviour in the game so far? He starts the game with a strong vote against ekiM and asks for any watcher who watched Debonair Danny DiPietro to step forward. My first thought was "okay.. maybe charter is a watcher who saw the kill and wants to either catch scum in a lie or force them into a fakeclaim that could trap them"*. Then when pressed he says that his reason for voting is meta-related, which is later completely debunked by ekiM. Scien questions him on his "damned if you agree with on ekiM and damned if you don't" style of posting and charter completely blows off the questions.

Then he changes his vote. Which means that if he was a watcher (again, see asterisk), he doesn't have a result on ekiM.

I'm getting a very scummy vibe from charter. Mostly for WIFOM reasons, but I'm gonna stand by my gut and leave my vote.

* [NOTE TO CHARTER-TOWN: DO NOT CONFIRM OR DENY IF YOU ARE A WATCHER. I AM NOT TRYING TO ROLEFISH.]



@DeathRowKitty: Why did you unvote ekiM? You voted for him because charter told you to, then you unvoted before charter expressed satisfaction with ekiM's answer. Why didn't you wait for charter's concession before vote-hopping to be early on the Sleepless Assassin bandwagon.

@RayFrost: Why don't you like the hypo-hider-claim theory?

@dramonic/hewitt: Why are you guys joking around about masons & vigs in an open setup game when strategy is being discussed?
ekiM wrote:I respect DDD as a player but his record reading me as scum isn't phenomenal. He wouldn't be my first choice to kill out of that player list (charter and KK would definitely be higher priority).
Just so you know, I'm crossing you off my X-Mas card list.

charter wrote:I don't see where you gave your opinion on if someone watched DDD. You say you did agree with it, but then you say you've changed your mind. I don't really see where you changed your mind either, can you please highlight it for me? So, do you think a watcher should claim if they watched DDD? Yes or no?
Aw crap.. Sorry about that again. Usually I'm better at editing my posts. I edited out the part where I "changed my mind" because it looked too WIFOM on my re-read.

I think it's worthwhile that a watcher should claim if they have information. However, the person asking for watchers to come forward is inherently scummy because 1) it's rolefishing and 2) a way for scum to check right away what they need to claim based on whether or not they need to cover their tracks. The way that you strongly voted for ekiM while asking for a watcher to claim looked like a way to soft-claim watcher in case someone saw you make the kill.

So, my answer is that in my initial post (which never materialized), I did agree with you that a watcher should claim if they have info. However, upon reflection, I'm uncomfortable with your strategy.

Sorry if I'm not being clear.

It is rolefishing, but I do not think it's scummy. I guess you're free to think the rest of what you posted there, but it seems like an awfully big stretch to me.
Yeah, maybe. I know it's early in the game for such elaborate accusations. But I made a post that showed editing which betrayed some of my doubts. I figured that I should explain my thoughts in full so that you understand where I was coming from.

Because he did it last game, and it did no good, half the players said it did no good. ekim has already said don't do it this game. Posting a million words just muddies the waters for scum to hide in.
How is Scien posting a million words that you can't answer? The bottom of Post 71 has a clear and concise list of questions.

I think it's stupid and I think the power roles should do whatever they feel is the best course of action. After all, if everybody knows what they're going to do before they do it then the purpose is basically defeated.
Or, y'know, it's not.

Scenario A: Everyone lists who they will hide behind. Hider (Player X) dies along with the night-kill. Town goes back and check who Player X said he hid behind and will hide behind. Town catches and lynches a scum.

Scenario B: Hider doesn't tell anyone shit. Hider dies after hiding behind scum. Town has no clue who is scum.

Guess who Scenario B (hewitt's plan) benefits?

Hmm.. hewitt is called out for pushing a pro-scum strategy and suddenly he is clueless about basic hider strategy. Nevermind that the hider role is detailed in the opening posts and the Hider role is detailed in the mafia wiki.

So, can anyone who has a history with hewitt confirm or deny that he is the type of player who won't even consider the MOST BASIC AND OBVIOUS strategies in an open game?

While I agree on most of your Charter points, I think that first sentence is kind of odd. So you think you have a decent set of points against Charter but instead of starting to question him directly, you turn to the town and poll them to see if they share your views? Sounds like you don't want to get your hands dirty unless you think the town agree with you. I don't see a townie motive for that...
Really? Pointing out someone's scummy behavior will always result in that person replying back. So I don't have to address charter specifically.

However asking everyone else to comment on it, especially early in the game, allows me to judge who is opportunistic, who is cautious, who is logical, who is deliberately avoiding the situation, and who is
chainsaw defending
?

(Bold being the one that you're doing, BTW).

It's pretty self-evident.

Kublai Khan: Hey, I think charter is scummy for there reasons.
Scien: That's good and all, but Kublai Khan is scummy for the way he's pushing his case.

It's pretty much textbook chainsaw defending.
Scien wrote:I understand asking the town how they feel about someone to feel out pairs, but that's not 100% accurate of what you did there. You completely layed out a case to the town and asked them if they bought it. You were not asking about Charter as much as you were asking the town "hey, can I get away with pushing this?"

Here let's try and word my concern in a question so we can talk about it: "You seem to be worried about how the town views your case on Charter? Why would you be concerned about how the town feels about your case, rather than just pursuing it yourself?"
First, I really don't like how you're putting scummy words in my mouth. Second, I really don't like how you're putting a scummy spin on the situation.

Let's go back to basics. To Mafia 101, if you will. When I ask a question to "@all", I'm practicing a bit of group psychology. Overall, people generally don't stick their necks out for each other. It's like when there is an emergency, they train you not to say "someone call 911". Instead you should point to a specific person and tell them to call 911.

Since I addressed nobody in particular, whomever took it upon themselves to answer it (and especially whomever answered it most strongly) is most likely to be playing with ulterior motives than that of an innocent bystander who has no idea what my & charter's alignments are. You're trying to take advantage of a situation and that's scummy.
Scien wrote:For now, at least. I want to hear more from Khan, and I think he deserves more pressure.
This is just weird. I've been active and haven't dodged any questions.

Since the hypoclaim should take the form of "I hid behind X on Night 0 and plan on hiding behind Y tonight". We should probably wait until the end of day.

Stating a hider target at the beginning of Day 1 is pretty much just pure guesswork. Why not have people state their hider choice for Night 1 at the end of the day after they've been able to get some reads on people?

As it stands now, people like dramonic and RayFrost will probably be changing their choices throughout the day as they get new reads.

Reduce confusion, wait until the lynch choice is settled (though obviously not lynched yet--maybe somewhere around L-2 with two people having announced their willingness to hammer.).

Anyone else want to parrot the "DeathRowKitty is town for coming up with the hypo-claim" argument? I mean, I know it loses that luster of originality every time someone says it, but that doesn't seem to have stopped anyone yet.

@hewitt: If you're not going to defend yourself, could you at least scumhunt maybe. You're making my powerful vote feel weak and ineffectual because it's not pressuring you to do anything.

Alternatively, other people could help pressure hewitt into doing something pro-town. Y'know, for shits & giggles. Might even move the game along.

I'd rather vote gregory for "shits & giggles" over hewitt
(bolding yours, and I moved your comment to it's own quote box for clarity's sake)

Reading Gregory is isolation, you're probably right. He's another one who started the game with a "hider is useless, he only helps scum" argument then totally abandoned it for the hider-hypo-claim idea.

@Gregory: Why the hell is 1 vote on a lurker okay, but 2 is bad?

I disagree. The more votes a person has, the more likely they are to defend themself.

Lurkers typically aren't forced to change their habits because of 1 measly vote.

@dramonic: What does post 229 mean? Also, explain how the hell are you getting newbtown vibes from Sleepless Assassin?

I'm willing to give hewitt the benefit of the doubt and let him survive for today. He's fallen to 4th on my probable scum list (after Sleepless Assassin, Scien, & Gregory)

I'm willing to lynch Sleepless Assassin. But first I think we should get a votecount, then probably do a hypo-hider-round.

Scien: Several misrepresented me and spun my words; asked me to prove something ridiculous, then dropped it when I confronted him. I don't agree with the theory that he's trying to detract from a hewitt lynch, but his latest emotional outburst is suspect. I'm hesitant to push for his lynch because I suspect I might be more suspicious of his style of posting rather than the content of his posts. I'll probably try to get a meta read on him over the weekend.

The last thing seem quite dangerous, so why should we help scum to find the hider, even if we get a little info from it. The information doesn't give us a scum-lynch, does it?

I don't know all of this, never played with a hider. At this moment, I would be comfortable with letting him do his job alone.
Hewitt states his philosophy of what the hider should do, you repeat it in the next post (albeit in a less profane way).

Reading through your posts in iso, I guess it happened less than I remember, it's more than first one that jumped out at me. However most of your posts are about defending yourself over the vote the double-lurker-voter move.

Had no reason to jump off hewitt wagon except for the fact that he was getting votes for being on it. Plus, I've said before that the vote and "Oops" retraction sounded awfully contrived. (Note that not a minute passed between the vote and retraction--why would he immediately check Debonair Danny DiPietro's status after voting him but not before?)
Sleepless Assassin (267) wrote:Hewitt, what makes you an "easy target" over, for example, Octupis or Gregory? And how are easy targets more likely to be town than scum?
Classic defence by WIFOM.

tl;dr

Sleepless Assassin made a random vote. charter tunneled on his random vote target, so Sleepless Assassin acted like his vote is and always has been a serious for-sure vote that hewitt is scum. Then he changes his mind and does a quick "vote-the-dead-guy" ploy.

I'm willing to vote to lynch Sleepless Assassin.

Hmm.. Really don't like the "claim a power role then disappear" routine. In my experience actual pro-town PR players tend to stick around after claiming to answer questions and try to plan out their actions since they are outed. Scum tend to vanish, then check back to see who bought it.

But it's moot. Sleepless Assassin isn't today's lynch. Day 1 will end with the assumption that he's a town watcher.

Hmm.. Damn, the death of the rolecop really fucks up our potential strategies. It's pointless for the watchers to watch each other because then the mafia will just pick off the most townie looking townie.

The hypo-hider claims should have probably given Sleepless Assassin a good idea if he saw the hider or the other watcher.

The second watcher should probably watch Sleepless Assassin and Sleepless Assassin better turn up a scum suspect.

I guess this is my long-winded way of saying that I agree with charter.

As for today's lynch.. let me think it over. I'll probably vote tomorrow.

Okay, I'm a little behind.. But let me get this straight.

Sleepless Assassin is claiming watcher who knows another power role.
hewitt is claiming watcher who knows another power role.

Neither targetted Debonair Danny DiPietro so neither know who the mafia is.
They didn't target the same Player X, otherwise they'd know that each other were clear.
Neither targetted whomever Debonair Danny DiPietro targetted, otherwise they wouldn't claim.
They couldn't have targetted each other because they both couldn't have seen the hider.
There are no other power roles.

So we have two impossible claims. I guess it's a ploy by scum to out a watcher (or both?) and make a 1 for 1 trade. Seems pretty damn dumb on the surface.

vote: Sleepless Assassin


Of course, hewitt signed his own death warrant if Sleepless Assassin turns up town.

Okay, hear me out.

I wasn't going to bother to post anymore. I've got other games going on, I've got a real life with a pregnant wife, a change in jobs, a new kitten, ... basically stuff is going on and I've accepted that my death in this game is pretty imminent. The only reason I've still got this game watched is the fact that I haven't died yet and my morbid curiosity surrounding what's going to go down after my death.

Here's the kicker: I'm a vanilla townie.

Now, I know what everyone is thinking: "Wha-? But RayFrost is a Watcher who was confirmed town by a hider! And he said..."

Yeah, I know. And I can't really explain his comments so far on Day 3. I didn't send any PM to Kaiveran since I confirmed into this game.
My role doesn't have any night action.
Of course, nobody is going to believe me and hell, if I weren't for my role PM I honestly wouldn't believe me either. But barring any
modding errors
, here's some solid reasons why I can still town in this game situation:

A) DeathRowKitty lied about his N0 choice. Now, it's unlikely because we're conditioned to believe that no good townie should ever lie, but as we've seen with Sleepless Assassin... townies do lie. Maybe DeathRowKitty didn't hide on N0 (a smart choice, really) but had a really wrong town read on RayFrost. When RayFrost and his mafia buddies got together at night and realized what an advantage they had, they immediately decided to have RayFrost claim Watcher with a result on me because they think I'm a watcher.
B) RayFrost *is* a watcher, but he's lying about his result to lure the other scum out. This is probably what RayFrost is doing considering that he's been pushing me for reactions to his comments. Think about it, why would RayFrost-watcher need me to comment on his result on me? This didn't hit me until the middle of the night and I feel dumb for not claiming my innocence sooner.

Oh, and Scien is obv-Scum.

vote: Scien


I hope RayFrost has a plan for revealing his true result before the Scien-lynch because if he doesn't then my mislynch will be tomorrow.

I'm posting because you prodded me. And I'm assuming you prodded me because you want some kind of reaction.

And emphatically re-claiming simple statements is the hallmark of a liar trying to keep his story straight and simple. I'm very much doubting your claim, RayFrost. I think you are another Sleepless Assassin.

(real second watcher shouldn't counter-claim. obv. obv.)

Totally framed, yo.

After re-reading the past few days I can only insist at this point that there has been a giant mod-error. Don't trust the words on the screen people. Words can be manipulative. They can be distorted and abused for nefarious means. Instead trust pictures.

Pictures don't lie. Look at the avatars. Who has the scummiest avatar? That's right... ekiM. That's a mafia face if I ever saw one.

Remember: if charter implies that you're dumb or stupid or foolish for disagreeing with anything he says, then it's a massive scumtell for him. Ignore whatever else he says.

Don't co-operate with charter. He's got no plan. He's just wasting your time. Lynch charter!

DeathRowKitty wrote:@Scien, dramonic, or KK
Did you have KK make the N1 kill because you thought the hider was going to out him anyway?
Yeah, three potential hiders were targetting me. Logical choice to reduce the chance of scum getting outed (though it didn't work).

Tough part was that I knew that RayFrost was the second watcher and I had considered targetting him instead. They kinda gave each other away on Day 1.

Great job, dramonic. I've been keeping up on the thread, and I had heard that Adel was good, but damn. He was doing some seriously good analysis. I'm glad I just goofed around after I was outed. Just tried to do the opposite that Scien did.

I was confirmed town regardless due to DRK's N0 hiding.

I had to claim in order to get it out before my death.
Heh. I know. It's just one of those times where the only thing you can really do is hope on the failure of others.

Eh... "just a feeling" readings don't faze me at all. If someone doesn't have a case, then I don't worry about it at all.

And what RayFrost said about not fakeclaiming when you're town. You really helped us out by having a watcher come forward to discredit you. :roll:
