Whydoesit "feel off" to you?
Do you think Scum would more likely post a serious response than they would continue joking in order to prolong the RVS?

RVS being over does not mean you should stop using your vote to contribute.
Vote: Tracker. I'm preeeetty sure about this one.
Also, I apologize for the multi-posts. I'm accessing the internet not via my laptop, which is currently broken. Soooo I can multitab or copypaste. I'll try to snatch other's computer's and post more often from them for efficiency, but unfortunately you're stuck with hideous multi-posts for the time being. Sorry.-

How does the setup relate to my confidence of my vote? Why is mentioning my confidence in my vote more likely a Scum move than it is a Town move?
Because you were sticking nails into Dana's coffin [so to speak], by instilling possibilities and suspision into other player's heads [quote: "Maybe the one trying to confuse the town is you"], and then immediately backed away from the wagon. Looks like you want other people to push the wagon for you, so you don't get your hands dirty or attract attention.The Tracker wrote:@Shrine: Chastising and voting for me based on how I play?

Well I disagree.The Tracker wrote:That kind of "confidence" is scummy because there's only 1 party that can be confident, and that's scum.
Why can only scum be confident [especially in this specific setup, where Scum, as Cdubs said, arelessinformed than usual]?
I don't think so.The Tracker wrote:Instilling possibilities and suspicions is what this game's all about, friendo. You didn't miss that memo, did you?
I'd prefer to have seen your opinions and thoughts on Dana rather than "Maybe the one trying to confuse the Town is you". You explicitly sidestepped giving the Townyourthoughts on him [I still don't even know what they are. You bring up points against him, but don't have a vote on him or mention your stance on him.Is he suspicious to you or not?]. Just sprinkled suspicion and doubt over someone being already looked at. I don't consider that to be "what the game is all about". It just reads scummy to me. P:`,
That's how I interpreted the Unvote and lack of given opinion on him. See bold above.The Tracker wrote:And who said I backed away from the wagon?-

Hmm.
I would mind hammering Flareonage, even though Tracker still appeals a lot to me and I'm sort of angry that no one has even bothered to look at him. At first I was more convinced that Flareon's just a newbie-town whom scum are scapegoating for an easy wagon... But I pretty much agree with Ray's 163 a lot, especially that leaving him around will basically just allow him to skate through the game providing little/no content until we get doomed with him at lylo.
But first I want SaintKerrigan to respond to my Post 55.-

Read the ruleset, guys. No one will be replaced because they're inactive, and if the Day ends before mavsfan gets a post in [and I don't think he has yet; correct me if I'm wrong], then he's modkilled and out of our hair anyway. We don't have to worry about him unless hedoespost, in which case I'm all for a lurker-lynch wagon.-

It was more of a rhetorical/double-checking question, since I didn't see [missed?] any mention of his replacement, didn't see him mentioned in the OP, and didn't think there were any replacements in this game...
It was a silly question though.
I'm not sure about your analysis of the setup and possible early win for scum, though. Don't the factions have to completely eradicate each other in order to win, as well?-

The percentages [chances of hitting Scum] aren't important to me [we aren't lynching randomly!] I reviewed these two, specifically...
http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 72#2102672
http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 88#2102688
... and yawetag is correct. The Town is set to a losing situation one Phase earlier if we double-lynch than we would if we were to only lynch on person [at Night 3, we would have ZERO chance of winning in the former; the chance still exists somewhat in the latter].
BUT, I think that the chance is worth taking. Mind, they compared only worst case scenarios. We're hitting a mystery-flip mavs and a likely Mafia-aligned CMAR [Mind, no moreMafia= one less kill!]. Next Phase will likely be even easier to sort out if our Masons make it through. The worst scenario isn't a very likely scenario at all, so I feel comfortable with offing CMAR and mavs.-

From where did you gather this? Have you read his posts? Why didn't you respond to his Post 182?danakillsu wrote:CMAR [...] NOT HELPING TOWN.
His case against Reckoner looks pretty genuine to me... But not in a way that it makes him less scummy. Since nearly all signs point to him being Mafia, I think it's a genuine Mafia-aligned Wolf-hunting attack.-

Sorry, I had limited access for a bit, but I should be alright now.
To compensate, I did one of these vote count coloring things. Never did it before. Let's see what we come up with.
Final Count Day 1
2. The Tracker (1): Shrinehme
4.flareonage(6): evilsnail,xRECKONERx,danakillsu,RayFrost,Fate, The Tracker
6.danakillsu(1):SaintKerrigan
9.xRECKONERx(3):Flareonage, yawetag, cdubs
Final Count Day 2
5.CryMeARiver(5):danakillsu, evilsnail,xRECKONERx, Shrinehme, The Tracker
8.mavsfan41(1): yawetag,CryMeARiver
What we can gather from this:
Tracker hammered both scum! However, remember the conditions for CMAR in particular; Tracker hammered him on the last day, when deadline was coming up, after having been lurking intensely prior. If he were CMAR's buddy, it seems silly for him to jump in and hammer when he could have stalled until the deadline [under the lurking guise!] and let a No Lynch go, seeing only the death of mavsfan be. Soooo I don't think he's a Werewolf.
I think EvilSnail is Town. Very town. It's highly disadvantageous and risky for scum to bus one other in this game, and he was on top of both scum wagons.
Cdubs lurking selectively during Day 2, when CMAR was under heavy suspicion, gives me the impression that they're the Wolf buddies. Buddies want to avoid giving commitment for or against a partner. Lurking is a good way to go about that. He also lurked a bit on Day 1, but not to the same extent... just enough to park his vote on Reckoner and disappear.
Then there's Yawetag, who not only argued very strongly against CMAR's wagon, insisting that offing only mavsfan was the way to go, but also tunneled in on Reckoner for most of that Day.
...
Oh, wait. As I started typing this I realized that I made a mistake and the final wagon is actually this.
Actual Final Count Day 1
2. The Tracker (1): Shrinehme
4.flareonage(7): evilsnail,xRECKONERx,danakillsu,RayFrost,Fate, The Tracker, yawetag
9.xRECKONERx(3):Flareonage, cdubs,SaintKerrigan
I'm going to leave the above there so that I don't feel like I've wasted my time. And maybe it will give you guys insight into my thought processes. Or something.
... Well, the only real difference is that Yawetag did get his vote in on Flareonage and hadn't tunneled on Reckoner as much as I'd thought. And Tracker didn't hammer both scum. Just one.
I'm pretty sure EvilSnail is Town, though. He's the only one I would strongly object to lynching.-

I don't know which scum I'd place you or Cdubs, but I don't think it explicitly matters either. Lying either scum yields the same result.-

Noted that Cdubs hasn't posted.
So that kind of waters the lurking accusation a bit, but it gives us a new dilemma... If lynch someone else, he gets modkilled, and if we didn't hit both scum then and there, we lose... with at most 2 Townies entering the Night Phase. It limits our options.
Though... it's sad that this whole game kind of hinges on his alignment at this point. If he's Town, and doesn't post, we essentially lose [barring one teeny chance: both scum hit each other overnight].
Thoughts?-

I just think Yawetag and Cdubs are more likely scum. In my book, there's almost no chance that you're a Wolf [see post 331], and while it's possible that you bussed Flareonage, I think Cdubs [who parked his vote on Reckoner and avoided the wagon] or Yawetag [who jumped on the wagon only at the final second] are more likely to be his buddies.The Tracker wrote:By the way shrine, what made you suddenly decide I was Town?

I was thinking requesting the Mason to claim, but I figured that, since no one had mentioned it, there must have been a good strategical reason why... I was trying to figure that out.
But I agree with it, anyway, since I can't think of a real disadvantage.
I am not the Mason.
I was under the impression that Tracker is the Mason.-

I held off on saying why until I heard Tracker confirm. Didn't want scum using what I said to back a fake-claim...evilsnail wrote:Shrinehme, why did you think The Tracker the mason?
Anyway.
Based off of one of Fate's posts Day 1... his reaction to my offense on Tracker mainly: here, where he attacked me for [what I thought was] very poor and not very well-thought-out reasoning, all in Tracker's defense. I thought it was scummy at the time, but after Fate flipped, I'd thought it was Mason-Mason defense..
Also there's this post. Which was extremely weird to me. He avoids the question, which, again, I kind of thought was scummy. But it makes sense if Tracker and Fate were Masons...-

The thing that concerns me though is this... http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 59#2102459
Is what Cdubs said when Reckoner scoped out "trust" lists to make narrowing the Mason down easier.
Did he lie to avoid being caught?-

EBWOP.
Upon re-reading that page, I'd just found that Dana had posted one also! Cat was replaced by Yawetag [he says this in following post too].
Is this why you thought Yawetag was Mason, EvilSnail?-

I'll also back away from Cdubs today, since neither of you are really interested and the fact that he is trying to cast suspicion on Yawetag's claim when he's confirmed by Dana's post I linked to bewilders me.
I think Cdubs and Tracker are the way to go.

Normally I would have. But it didn't really affect the game here.Papa Zito wrote:This is a fair point, and one I didn't really consider. I was more relieved to have a replacement and get the game back underway than anything else.
Shrinehme should take that up with farside if he feels strongly about it. No hard feelings from me if he does.
All it really did was confirmed Yawetag/Fate as Mason [why else would a former Mason be allowed to replace?]. But everyone already knew he was Mason.
I gave up because there was literally no way to pull anything against EvilSnail, who was on top of both wagons and basically obvtown. I decided it would be cooler to at least die in humor. Or something. <_>-
