If you're claiming that you don't understand the title (and thus, sanities), then you're effectively stating that you're a newbie.Alexhans wrote:
Ouch... he posted at the same time as me... he screwed my vote...
but that wasnt a newbie card!!!!
So I'll keep my vote for... being aggressively suspicious?

I guess I should ask: do you not understand the idea of sanities or do you not understand the phrase "sanity ensues"?Magus wrote: Wow, fast paced game. And I didn't play a newbie card!!! I just don't get the title of the game (English is not my native language). So, let's omgus.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

I think Hohum lacks a sense of humor. (Hence the dice voting?)
@Magus: Apologies. I thought you were saying that you didn't understand sanities.Unvote
@Alex: You're FoSing yourself because you already know you're scum and you're just letting us all know because you secretly wish you were a townie.
Vote: Alex
Tell us at what point it's not "so fast" to unvote and why you seem so concerned with it?
@Hohum: Will you kindly provide your definition of OMGUS, please?-

There is a number of posts that all essentially ask the same things:
1) My bit about Alex FoSing himself.
I sure hope that at this point it's clear that it was a joke. If it's not clear, grow a sense of humor.
2) The "alex covering hohum-scumbuddy" argument.
It's not OMGUS-by-proximity. OMGUS means that you are voting/FoSing somebody for the sole reason of them voting/FoSing you back. I had a legitimate reason to FoS alex. Therefore, it's not OMGUS. Although his vote was a joke, his reason was a double standard:
He was basically voting me over you because you were posting in another game. I pointed out that I'm posting in other games as well.alex wrote:why? because he is one of the first people to confirm... Magus stragus already posted so I know he will be here.Hohum is in another game so I know he posts ussually...then Artem... He is the one that will probably post next...
(Obviously, since his vote was a joke, my FoS was not completely serious, but it was getting the ball rolling.)
3) My "quick" unvote Magus/vote Alex.
Magus and Green are right. The best we can do is pressure others right now. My pressure question was this:
My unvote/vote was in part to show that there is no such thing as too quick of a change of vote. You must always look at the reasons behind both. Mine were misunderstanding of Magus (unvote) and a pressure question for Alex (vote).Alex wrote: Tell us at what point it's not "so fast" to unvote and why you seem so concerned with it?
I also think that scum (or at least a cautious townie) would be tempted to answer the question as "I didn't want to appear wishy-washy". Here's Alex's answer, however:
While I don't completely agree with it, I find the response to be townie, because scum would be more interested in how their votes/unvotes perceived than fishing for reactions. I don't completely agree with it, because unvoting "too fast" generates reactions too. Just look at the reactions I got.Alex wrote: If I vote and then unvote too fast I dont get a reaction from the player...
4) Gut feeling.
The best I can do with this is give you a cookie.
Also,
If I'm not mistaken, you're referring to this game:hohum wrote: I was in one of your first games too, so I know that you know better.
http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8255
in which you (or dcobre, who has the same avatar as you) soft-claimed a power role and left me a mess to replace into.
I'm interested in hohum at the moment.Unvote; Vote hohum. Hohum, can you explain your use of the term "tunnel vision" as a reason to vote me?

My playstyle usually gets a few eyebrow raises and I tend to accumulate votes quite quickly during Day 1. However, there's always rhyme and reason behind my actions, so in the end there are usually plenty of nice reactions to analyze.alexhans wrote:mmm I still don't like your fast paced vote change Artem (especially after someone just voted for Hohum wich could be viewed as bandwaggoning). Although many of the things you say are reasonable.
Outside of calling out obvious lurkers, I'm generally not a big fan of such posts, because they fall under "posting for the sake of posting" category.Magus wrote: ZEEnon and seb456 need to post more.
If the call to post more was part of a larger post, where Magus outlined some of her (his? your avatar is missing a gender icon) other thoughts, then it's one thing. When the call to post is the only thing in the post, one can argue that Magus wants to appear contributing to the game, without giving any actual content.
At this point I read the post as eagerness to hear from others, so I'm not calling it a scum-tell.
How is your gut feeling since I made my last post?Azhrei wrote: Myself, the only person who I'm getting a scummy vibe off is Artem, but I can't really say why. It's just a gut feeling at the moment, but it has nothing much to back it up.
@ZEE: Same question.-

This is called parking your vote.ZEE wrote: as i stated earlier,

So you quote me bringing you into the picture and call it tunnel-visioning on Alex? That doesn't make much sense to me.hohum wrote: Tunnel Vision: Concentrating on one person, ignoring everything else around you, as you seem to be doing to Alexhans right now.

Nice side-step of the argument against you. Also, the following struck me as odd at the time I read it:hohum wrote: You're not looking as scummy to me as you did now that I'm taking Alex's most recent posts into context.
You have no problems flinging your vote around, yet somehow you feel that you deserve a special treatment. What's with the double standards?hohum wrote: Curious, why would you changed your vote instead of simply calling me out with a FoS, HoS or IGMEOY? And how could you be certain that you made the correct choice 3 pages in to day 1?
At least you see the WIFOM.ZEE wrote: i'd rather not draw attention to myself,
but who says that i'm a regular vanilla townie ?
i don't particularly care if you think of me
as potential scum. if i was scum,
i would definitely be concerned with my post
in order to stop you from thinking that, but i welcome it.
(although this also could be seen as a scumish plot
to make it seem that i'm not scum
because i don't care.. so whatever. lose-lose situation.)
If he parked a vote on me and I was at L-2 or L-1, then I would call it out for scumminess. However, with two votes on me, it's hardly a tell one way or another.Tom wrote: You explained that giving a reason why you're not changing your vote until you see something else is called "parking your vote," Artem, but then you stopped talking.

1. Not going to answer, for obvious reasons.Charrat wrote:Well, since things have cooled down a little bit, I will pose a few questions for anyone who would like to answer and maybe spark some more discussion.
1. At this moment, are there any players that you believe are town? If so, why?
2. At this moment, are there any players that you suspect are mafia? If so, why?
3. How would you choose who to lynch today if you do not yet have any suspicions of who may be mafia?
2. I suspect hohum is mafia. His bending of the facts and incorrect use of terminology gives him an excuse to vote players for whom he has little to no reason to vote otherwise. I think he's wants to appear scumhunting.
3. I'm voting for hohum, who I believe is mafia.-

You seem overly concerned with having your own reasons for voting hohum? Why?Seb wrote: 2. ZEEnon & possibly hohum. ZEEnon plays a lot like Chuck Norris did in my first game (go look me up and META!!!) I dont have any of my own reasons for hohum but others seem to think he's realy scummie and when i find any scum behavior BAM one point for the town, but until then ima listen to his reasoning.
Also, what do you mean by "BAM one point for the town"?
Remember that this is a game. No need to make personal insults.hohum wrote: God you're a raging faggot. The only thing good about this game is that I'm going to be lynched today.
I realize this has already been pointed out but:Azhrei wrote: Your attempts haven't been obvious to me, sorry. Please quote them. (Quotes are king and god) I, myself, am quite happy to read your explanations. And I hate it when people say I twist things, because I try my best not to.And no, I'm not convinced you're scum, you're just the person I consider to be scummiest so far.If you provide me with decent why you aren't scum, I will most likely unvote, and go my merry way scumhunting elsewhere, and keep my eye on you. Until then, I'm gonna keep voting you.
Who's twisting whose words?hohum wrote: You've already rejected most of what I've had to say outright. I know you'll probably dismiss this reply as evasive too. It's alright -- keep wagoning me -- lynch me. I don't mind taking one for the team. That way when I flip everyone will see you for what you really are: opportunistic and scummy.

I'm confused by the wording of this. Are you saying that when you find a reason to vote hohum, it's guaranteed that he's mafia and town "gets a point"? What makes you think that a townie cannot inadvertently drop a mafia-tell? You sound like you already know that hohum is mafia.Seb wrote: Also, "One point for the town" is us soultaking a mafia, which i see as getting a point. We need 2 or 3 points to win this game.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

Also, the problem with hohum is that even if heisa townie, his playstyle is far from townie and we don't want to be stuck with something like that in the end-game. In my opinion, he's a good candidate for a lynch today, but Seb has been interesting lately.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

OK, catch up time.
How exactly do you quantify a "REAL" scumtells? Are you saying that the scumtells hohum has been dropping are not real?Seb wrote: ... If i spot a scumtell (a REAL one) then ill probably vote. Im not saying i will, but im definently not saying i wont.
I'll address the doc point, since the cop sanity is obvious. If you look at the wiki, there are several doc sanities: Insane, paranoid, naive, weak, CPR. That means that depending on who he/she and the mafia target, a potential doc can kill a townie or themselves.Alex wrote: How is a doc that doesn't know his sanity gonna be careful? I don't like your reasoning. You're saying that they shouldn't try to use their powers until they know FOR SURE who to protect? When is that? And the cop thing... We all know this... Isn't it just adding stuff to confuse us? I know it helps making our thoughts known but this is just making everybody uncertain.
Too concerned with personal safety. WIFOM is never, ever good for town.Seb wrote: Im saying that with a catch 22 im screwed no matter what, but a WIFOM has a chance that i wont be screwed (even though i probably would be).FoS: Seb
Newbie card played by a non-newbie.Seb wrote: 2.Magus is a vanilla townie that finds me suspitious for my seemingly inconsistant play.(it's actually called learning)
Townies don't know other players' alignments. This remains a fact when they die. Yes, players will re-read the thread keeping in mind that player X is town, but the words said by player X will not be treated as gospel.Seb wrote: So what you're saying is that, since alive people can say the same things as dead people could've when they were alive... Are you telling me that we shouldn't listen to alive people's suspitions because they are potential crazy dead people? I trust dead townie posts more because they are confirmed town. Please explain your logic here
@Seb: Why are you so concerned with personal safety and not drawing attention?
Just going with the flow, are we?Seb wrote: Why what? I IGMEOYed him coz people (not all ppl) think he is scummie, and they might be right
I'm liking the pressure on Seb at the moment.
Bad post for two reasons:Zee wrote: even more suspicions to go on. how are you SO SURE that the person that is going to be lynched/ killed is going to be town. assuming that you are scum, which i currently believe, we won't be listening to your accusations at all. we will however read all relations and voting patterns of yours. you may have voted your partner to confuse us, so we also have to be aware of that. also, if you turn up as town, i will allow myself to be lynched day two as compensation.
1) Seb is very sure thathewill flip town (not just some hypothetical random player), hence him saying that players can quote him later;
2) If you are town, you shouldneverput yourself up on an altar. All it does is create WIFOM for town and a free point for the scum;
One more thing I wanted to note:
Please don't give the mafia poll results about who we think is most townie. They can decide who to NK on their own.charrat wrote: As for Artem, there is not one thing he has said so far that made me raise an eyebrow. He has been a perfect townie in my eyes. That does not mean I am 100% confident he is town, but he isn't a good candidate to be lynched on the first day, in my opinion.-

Next part he says he wasn't defending me. He says this because I'm a ship that he knows is gonna sink. If Zee was the sinking ship he would agree with the post, no doubt about it. The rest of it is just sucking up to Zee. In short,FoS:Azhrei
As far as I'm aware, a scum has no reason to distance from a townie that's about to get lynched. If anything, a scum is likely to keep the pressure up.
Can you explain why I should read your quote as anything other that you suggesting that the two of you are scum buddies?-

I'm saying that he is hiding behind town to look town (or to make the townie look scum). I am going to leave it at that.

I don't like this continuing call for questions. What makes you think that other players are withholding their questions? It seems that you're trying very hard to appear helpful and/or transparent. Meanwhile, you have been sidestepping some of the questions directed at you.Seb wrote: Feel free to question me about anything...-

Hmm.... the last few posts from hohum actually give off a townie vibe. However, I don't like the "staying low to avoid drawing flak" argument. If you're town, all you're doing is stalling the discussion, which is not helpful in the slightest.
I think it would be good if those of us who are voting hohum, re-state the questions we feel he didn't answer, instead of going around in circles with the "I've already answered everything" and "You never answered anything" arguments.
Here's one from me where I felt you left me hanging, hohum (keeping the nested quotes to give context):

@Green Canyons: In my experience, the scum will keep the pressure up on a sinking townie to ensure a mislynch. After the said player is lynched and flips town, the scum will likely attempt to distance themselves from the lynch.
So, to clarify my statement: the mafia will likely attempt to distance themselves from their partnersbeforethe lynch (and from townie wagonsafterthe lynch).pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

Also, distancing for a sinking scum-buddy and distancing from a townie wagon are two different things.
Going back on defending somebody (not that that's what Azhrei was doing, but it's what Seb is accusing him of) does not really make sense as a distancing from a townie wagon method. I read it as accusation of distancing from a scum buddy.Seb wrote: Next part he says he wasn't defending me.

Also, I don't like that some of the players seem to have fallen off the edge of the world. Take Charrat, for example. Parked his vote on the biggest wagon and hasn't posted in a while, even though there have definitely been things for him to comment on. Worth looking at more closely, if Seb flips town.
Nevertheless, I do agree with the Seb lynch. I didn't move my vote because I wanted to maintain pressure on hohum, but, as is the case for several other players, Seb has been my second suspect for a while.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

I don't follow the logic. Are you saying that I purposely tried to get alex lynched and when that didn't work, I shot him last night and that makes me mafia?hohum wrote: I think now that Alex has flipped, artem should be watched a little more carefully. I no longer think his screwing up alex's quote tags or FoSing him for a stupid reason early on in the game was a simple mistake or sarcasm as someone indicated. IGMEOY.
Also, mind answering the question I re-stated at the end of Day 1.
The night actions didn't change my view of hohum, so I'm putting my vote where it was the previous day.Vote: hohum
I also don't understand the sudden spur in activity. Is there a reason you were laying low at the end of the previous day and taking a spotlight now, hohum?
Agree with Magus that Seb's lynch was mostly due to Seb's play. I, too, was considering voting him.-

@hohum: Can you define "pretty hard"? If I'm not mistaken, you too voted for Alex at some point, outside of the RVS and for a pretty poor reason. What makes my joking reasons during the RVS more suspicious?
Here's the question you didn't answer (again, quotes are included for context):

So I'm scum because I've done something nobody else has ever done before? Because everybody you've played with before has been a townie and I'm the first mafia role ever... O.ohohum wrote: I don't buy "joke voting." I think you should be watched very carefully for even attempting to call that early FoS a joke. Most people don't even bother to attempt to attach justification to random votes. The fact that you FoSed him instead of Voting him only further reenforces my point because in the multitude of games I've played in so far you're the first person I've ever seen do a joke FoS.
C'mon hohum, enough with twisting null-tells into your agenda?
I don't think you understand what I'm getting at. I called you out on the double-standards. You said that it's not double-standards because you ask that question "all the time". I'm claiming that you're lying to cover up your hind and avoid taking responsibility for the double-standards. My proof is the fact that you can't quote any other games where you've asked that question, meaning that you DON'T ask it all the time, meaning that you're making it up to cover up. Get it now?hohum wrote: It didn't help me catch scum, because you took the pressure off of it immediately by questioning me. You didn't give anyone a chance to respond.-

Ok, I went back and re-read the first few pages. My FoS was not even a joke as my joking vote was on Magus at the time. Alex really did have double-standards by saying that you're posting in other games and then voting me (who was also posting in other games).
When Ididvote Alex I gave a joke reason:
...and a pressure question...Artem wrote: @Alex: You're FoSing yourself because you already know you're scum and you're just letting us all know because you secretly wish you were a townie.
So, yes, there was reason to be suspicious of Alex to give him an FoS (well, as much as it can be on Page 1). My RVS votes generally have a joke attached to them, but also have some pressure that encourages some information content. This was the case both with Magus and with Alex.Artem wrote: Tell us at what point it's not "so fast" to unvote and why you seem so concerned with it?
Care to explain your lying about asking a question "all the time" to cover up your hind, or are you just going to lay low again claiming to have answered all the questions?-

Because it's not about those 3 words as much as your reaction to them. You're consistently misusing terminology, dropping blanket statements and twisting the truth to fit your agenda.

All those things combined make you a pretty good D2 lynch candidate in my book.
How is that re-read coming along, by the way?
Scum generally post things like "Re-reading, comments coming" or "There's more to follow" and then never post the promised content. It makes them appear busy and contributing when in actuality they're not. I've actually nailed scum in an endgame scenario based on this before.-

Oh really?Charrat wrote: Considering that we have 10 players and this is a sanity game, we can probably assume there are going to be 3 or 4 cops. Iknowthat there are 3 at this point, unless spring was really cruel and chose not to include a regular cop. Lynching both of us is a bad idea if we both turn out to be townies because that would be game over N3, I think.

No, not obvious. You seem pretty confident that there are 3 cops, even though only one has been cardflipped. We don't know if Zero is fake claiming, we don't know his sanity if he is a cop, and we're not guaranteed to have a sane cop in this game.Charrat wrote: Uhm, isn't it obvious? I know I am town, Zero says I am guilty, that means he must be a cop who is not sane (or he is lying). I should have said that I know there are at least 3 at this point, although I did basically say that I suspect 3 or 4 in the sentence earlier.
For all we know, there could be only 1 cop (who is now dead). We suspect there may be more, but we don't know for certain. Thus, you using phrases like "Iknowthere are at least 3 cops..." is suspicious to me.
Question for the mod: Are the cops allowed to investigate themselves?
My thought is that if Zero really is cop, he could try investigating himself. If he gets an innocent, then we know he's sane. Unfortunately, a guilty on himself wouldn't tell us much.-

^This^Azhrei wrote:I'd rather just ignore his claim for now, and let him investigate a few more people. We can always lynch him later, and we'll get a bit more out of it than we would now.
I think Zero did the right thing by revealing his investigation. You can't subtly push a case on somebody you have a guilty on if you don't know your sanity. The right thing to do is to put the information out on the table for the town to analyze after your lynch/NK.
I don't think we should be wasting a lynch on Zero. Let the mafia NK him and reveal his sanity. We can then look back at all his results and draw proper conclusions. And if the mafia lets him live, Zero can just continue investigating players.
I'm still happy with a hohum lynch, however.-

Azhrei basically explained it. If mafia don't NK Zero, we get more investigation results (which may or may not be useful). All this assuming Zero's claim is legit, and at this point I believe it is.
Looking forward to Green Crayons finding more time to comment on the earlier happenings in the day.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

Mod: The votecount is wrong. There are players voting hohum (myself included).
It's very likely that hohum is laying low "waiting to be lynched", like he did during Day 1. I doubt we'll get any more information out of him, because he's likely waiting to see if anybody else will draw attention and surpass him in votes.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

The reason it didn't work out how you said it should is because you didn't claim D1 and let the cop(s) investigate you during Night 1. Just sitting there, betting on a chance that some cop will investigate you, gets a guilty and lets us confirm his alignment/sanity by lynching you is not good play. A miller should always claim as early as possible, so the town can decide whether the cop(s) should investigate you or not. In a non-sanity game, it saves the cop a wasted investigation. In a sanity game like this one, investigating a miller may give information about own sanity.hohum wrote: The miller gets a special role PM in the vast majority of games on MS where the roll exists, so if you are miller, then you would and should indeed know it.
The miller role is useful in situations where the cop needs to be confirmed. It works because the miller has to counterclaim the cop when the miller shows up dirty on an investigation. The miller gets lynched, the cop gets confirmed, and the cop's previous investigation results can then be trusted.
Unfortunately things didn't work out to the point where I got a chance to use my role effectively this game. I apologize for that.
Now I'm not sure if you're just a poor player or a scum trying to hide behind a miller claim on D2. With Zer0 claimed, I'm not even sure if your millerhood is useful anymore. I think the best play may be to lynch you still. In the best case, we hit a scum. In the worst case, we confirm alignment of a very scummy townie.
As a side note, I don't understand why you keep saying that I zeroed in on Alex, whom I haven't touched since the RVS.-

Ok, here's the thing.
First, hohum is either scum or a miller. In either case, he's a guaranteed guilty for a sane cop, and a guaranteed innocent for an insane cop.
Since hohum so graciously f***ed up on D1, one thing we can do is keep him alive today for Zer0 (and any other cops who haven't claimed) to investigate. Knowing a result on a certain guilty and their N1 target, they could make a good guess at their sanities. We then lynch hohum first thing on D3 and hope that Zer0 and any other cops have any worthy results.
The problem is that even in the best case (where hohum really is a miller and we don't mislynch today) before we get any useful investigation results, and even those results are not 100% guaranteed.
Screw it.Vote: hohum
I say we go with the first plan of having Zer0 continue investigating players and/or getting NKd, confirming his sanity.-

Ok, the fact that we're still playing this game with 6 people means that there're only 2 mafia. (Otherwise, there would be no way of reaching majority and scum wins.)
It also means that we're in a lylo situation now. What do you guys think about a mass-claim?pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

Zero: guity on hohum (sane or paranoid)
GC: innocent on magus, guilty on charrat (sane or insane)
Shinnen: guilty on hohum, guilty on GC (sane or paranoid)
So, first things first:
-Magus and charrat have the opposite alignment
-If we assume that there's one cop of each sanity, all three "cops" can't be telling the
truth.
Charrat, you should claim next.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

Ack. You're right. Zero has a guilty on Charrat. But that makes him (Zero) one of {sane, insane, paranoid}.Green Crayons wrote: Zero investigated Charrat and received a guilty, not hohum. This was, in part, why I investigated him myself on Night Two. This doesn't change your (accurate) speculation as to what his sanity may be.
Still, either we have double of some sanity or one of the "cops" is lying.
I am a doctor. I protected Charrat both nights.
My first priority was to get an idea of my sanity. So, night 1 I chose to protect somebody who I didn't have a clear read on. If I was insane or a CPR doc, we would get a cardflip. I also left a breadcrumb in case I was a weak doc and Charrat was mafia:
I hoped that if I flipped weak doctor, somebody would be able to pick up on it. The fact that both Charrat and I are still alive means that I'm not insane or CPR, and either Charrat is town or I'm not weak (or both). The fact that ZEE had no sanity qualifier makes me lean towards docs being sane in this game.Artem, post 282 wrote: Also, I don't like that some of the players seem to have fallen off the edge of the world. Take Charrat, for example. Parked his vote on the biggest wagon and hasn't posted in a while, even though there have definitely been things for him to comment on. Worth looking at more closely, if Seb flips town.
I chose Charrat during night 2 for two reasons. 1) I still wasn't 100% certain I wasn't weak and protecting him the first night didn't kill me, so I decided not to risk it. 2) If Zero is insane, we would have a confirmed townie as soon as Zero cardflipped. Since the mafia have a better guess at his sanity than us, I thought they might try to shoot Charrat to prevent us from getting a confirmed townie in the end-game.-

Insane means the result is flipped. So, a miller should show up innocent.Charrat wrote: hohum was a miller, so doesn't that mean he will appear guilty when investigated, presumably regardless of the sanity of the cop investigating him? That would leave open the possibility of Shin being insane.
1) Because I didn't think a doc claim was going to affect scum's decision to fake-claim something. If I was a cop, it would be a different story, because you want to let the scum fake-claim their investigation results and then claim yours.GC wrote: And why did you claim after your post 418?
2) Because you said you wanted all the claims on the table. (Granted you didn't say now). But the less time we wait for everybody to claim, the more time we can spend analyzing the info.
After Azhrei claims, I have something to say about our cop situation.
Poor excuse. If we mislynch today, it won't matter what the scum does on N3. We lose.Charrat wrote: I am a doctor. I was somewhat reluctant to claim honestly because I feared revealing myself to be a doctor would make me a big target N3.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-

Alex: dead (naive)
Zero: guity on charrat (sane, insane or paranoid)
GC: innocent on magus, guilty on charrat (sane or insane)
Shinnen: guilty on hohum, guilty on GC (sane or paranoid)
Assumption: there's one cop of each sanity.
Shinn can't be sane, because she has a guilty on GC (which breaks the assumption). Therefore, Shinn is paranoid. GC and Zero both have a guilty on Charrat, which means that either both are sane or both are insane (which also breaks the assumption).
Since Azhrei didn't claim a cop, we now know for sure that:
-Either there are two cops that share a sanity;
-Or one of the "cops" is lying;
If I was to speculate about the setup, it seems silly to me to put four cops in and not make it one of each sanity. (Of course, there also appears to be three docs, so who really knows?). I'm leaning more towards one of the cops lying and my bet is on Shinn. Of course that means that Charrat is a townie and telling the truth, which makes my claim less likely to be true (from your perspective). :-/
(I'm also wondering if Shinn is right about Charrat being a role-blocking doc. That's one way to explain the lack of an investigation.)
Another thing we're not accounting for is the possibility of a godfather, who would show up innocent to sane cop and guilty to an insane cop. So, potentially, both Shinn and Charrat could be a scum-pair.
Here's why I think Shinn is lying:Shinn wrote: Mafia has been zetta lucky lately... First a cop, and now a doc? Hmm.....
These quotes makes it look like Shinn just discovered the possibility of there being a lot of power roles. However, if youShinn wrote: Ok, so, something tells me that everybody has a power role. So, should we mass claim?area cop, shouldn't you expect that to be the case from a while ago?
I also don't like the following:Shinn wrote: Btw, can someone please explain me why are the pressure on hohum? I'm not defending him, I just want to know why Artem, Azhrei and GC (and possibly others) say he's scummy, in order to see if I missed something. Hohum acted weird, but not enough for me to cast a vote. So, I want to know if I missed something or what.
Very little initiative from Shinn and appears like an opportunistic bandwagon hop.Shinn wrote: Hmmm... After reading GC's and Artem's post (and also reading a few pages back), I think I have to agree that hohum is scummy. However, what it strikes me the most is that attitude of him of trying to lay low because he's about to get lynched. And, it's the second time he does that. Not good enough for me, so:
Vote: hohum-

I'm not sure if no-lynch is a good play now that we've mass claimed. You have to remember that the mafia has a pretty good idea of our sanities, and potentially has a role-blocker and a godfather to boot. Somehow, I doubt we'll get anything useful out of the next night now that all cards are out on the table.
Although, one thing we get for sure is another cardflip, which will help narrow down the possibilities. So it may be worth it if we want to play safe.
I have been trying to figure out the best assignment of cop investigations and doc protections for the next night, but I can't come up with anything foolproof since there's always a possibility that the player you're relying on for information is lying.
I'm also wondering if Charrat and I protecting each other is going to fly, considering that the mafia knows whether or not Charrat is a blocking doc; plus, Charrat could be the godfather.
I'm more or less convinced that Shinnen is mafia. And yes, I realize that all the evidence seems to be pointing at me being her partner.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks-
