If people don't vote, the people who are voted against can't defend themselves (because they're not voted for, obviously), and then the town doesn't have as much information as they might possibly have.Gorgon wrote:

No, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Everyone wants people to vote, it's just that scum want people to vote for townies. How does not voting give scum an advantage?liamcool wrote:Actually, in regards to your post, Nudude, it's made me kinda suspicious about Infinitive.

@laimcool.You haven't really done any scumhunting and I'd like your opinion. Who do you find most suspicious? Why?
Based off the last page or so (the new conversation), I have a fairly strong suspicion (about 60%) or so that deepthought is scum. He seems to want Shotgun Kitten to be killed rather than replaced, which is kinda suspicious. Also, he apparently knows that there are three mafia. He stated that with a lot of convinction and knowledge. For all we know, this might be a non-standard game with 2 or 4 mafia, or even a bastard mod game with screwed up roles. Highly unlikely for the second instance though.
Not neccesarily. Speculating might bring up more conversation which brings up more leads which helps uncover scum, which i highly suspect you to be right now.deepthought wrote:
You can tweak the exact split of roles or screw with the mix by adding third parties, but it's basically useless to speculate about that without any cardflips.
I know, I don't have many leads right now but I'm trying the best that I can.
Unvote: Charter
FOS: Deepthought-

Actually, I've made the mistake of typing deepthroat at least five times, being so used to that.
As for his doctor claim, I think it's totally false, it seems very desperate in trying to get out of being lynched by saying "ooh, look at me, I'm the doctor".
Now that I've said that, though, look at him be the doctor. *laughs*we cry under the sheltering sky-

Blackmail, it appears that Disciple Slayer is taking a very aggressive approach, in my view, similar to what deepthought took, which obviously led to his death.

That said, we need more pressure on Liamcool, who I feel is the shot for today, who has gone missing despite calls for action. Therefore,Unvote, Vote:Liamcool
We don't know you're a townie. You do seem suspicious, even if your intentions are good and true. (yes, that sounds cliched.)
Your vote seems a bit spur of the moment, so I won't comment on it for now, but I might come back in a later post.
This is a pretty idiotic and spur of the moment thing too, but I'll let it go as maybe you were rushing to make a post or something.charter wrote:Ooops, hadn't read page 25 when I made that last post, after reading it I do think nudude could be scum as well.
Infinitive wrote:As an observation, however, I'm willing to bet that at least one of these two (Nudude and DLS) are scum. Both have been niggling at the back of my mind this whole game, and it's only getting worse as time goes by. DLS's active defense system and nearly nonexistent offense are, while useful for a Stryker APV, not useful for a townie. Nudude, on the other hand, has really raise my suspicions a lot recently with his hyperbolic Q-and-A's; paired with a few leaps of logic early in his questioning (notably the assumption that defense = scumminess and the assumed connection between Than and DLS) make me wonder what the heck he's actually doing right now. In some respects, I'm kind of wondering if he's pursuing DLS to lure an easy vote from DS.
However, I think we have bigger fish to fry here. DLS has been largely a nonfactor this entire game. Nudude has spent two full pages questioning his two prime suspects, and it has really gone nowhere, in large part because nobody but him seems to buy any of it. The case against Liam has been discussed thoroughly, and I think it's time for him to post and defend himself (and I promise, I won't count the fact that you defend yourself against you now that you've been called to, Liam). Further, Thanatos was at the head of the bad lynch on day one, and while he managed to slip out of Nudude's interrogation, I'm still not sold on his innocence. Allow me to put it this way: Thanatos is a demonstrated leader for the town, and is pretty good at explaining himself. If he is in fact scum, it could be a catastrophic blow to the town to let im survive much longer, as he is, if scum, very good at making townies look scummy. IMHO, for that reason alone, Thanatos deserves closer scrutiny.
I think we should lean more towards people like Gorgon and charter (in terms of questioning and investigating, anyway). In this day, all they've done is accuse me of being scum, with a lot of emphasis on me and very little on anybody else (compartively). Also, charter has flown under nearly everyone's scumdar, which Infinitive commented on twice, early in the day on posts 495 and 502. Gorgon, though, I'm less suspicious of, because although he did seem to be very focused on killing me earlier, he has gone on to discuss other people. Charter, on the other hand, just continuously, needlessly, suspects me. In 544, he fabricates facts based on some misunderstanding he made with not reading Infinitive's posts on day 1.
(more to come later as thoughts continue to come to my head. Is double posting under these circumstances accepted or not?)charter wrote:
Hmmm, now that I go back and reread around 430, I can't find where infinitive voted for liamcool at all. I was basing it off of DTs post 431 and infinitives 429 where I guess I just infered it from infinitive's saying he's 90% sure DT is scum and I must of assumed this meant he would be voting for DT.Infinitive wrote:Beg pardon, Charter, i just want a little clarification, because I'm not sure if I need to explain myself or not.
Are you saying that I switched over to the next bandwagon or Liamcool did? Meh, regardless, I might as well explain myself, even though I'm pretty my vote post did that pretty well.Around 430 when infinitive votes for liamcool, I think he liamcool thought that DT wasnt actually going to end up lynched, and he switched right over to liamcool when he even admitted to not finiding liamcool very suspicious.

VL will get killed for sure if he's the real cop ... but in order for you to get killed, there would have to be an SK, or two scum groups.

It's a way to distance yourselves from each other. If you're both taking different views on different things, it means you obviously don't talk at night...or do you? And even if his vote is on you, it may serve to further distance you two.Dark_Lady_Shaiann wrote:liamcool wrote:

Infinitive wrote:As I mentioned in my last post, I thought I was putting him at L-2, not L-1. Please, read the explanations I've given before you ask for one.
Simply put, IMHO, the town stands to gain more from a Than lynch than a DLS lynch. Show me how this is not the case and I'll unvote.
1) That's not a very watertight alibi. You stated very obviously in 804
Which means that you wanted to speed the game up...maybe lynch someone you know is a guaranteed townie?Infinitive wrote:Okay. Well, given the length of day 2, I'm gonna throw my vote out.
Vote: Thanatos
2) That's totally false. If we lynch DLS, we kill someone who hasn't contributed that much, who has kinda been hanging around on the sidelines. If we kill Thanatos, we kill someone who, even if he is scum, does investigate and help a lot with the town.
I'm tempted to drop the hammer right now but I'll let you have a chance to defend yourself before I do.-

Nudude brings up a good point with charter and Gorgon - they seemed to agree a lot on points before and now have both practically fallen off the planet at the same time.Nudude wrote:
ThenDisciple Slayer wrote:Posting will commence on the 18th. I've got a busy weekend and a flight immediately after.
It could be for legitimate reasons, or it could be he's trying to use IRL excuses to avoid getting lynched. We aren't going to lynch someone who's had a reasonable chance to defend themselves. I'm not saying we SHOULD, but I think we should put off lynching untill after we've had a good chance to hear more from him.Disciple Slayer wrote:Posting after Christmas.
In the meantime, no reason we can't continue discussing things.
Infinitive, your pushing for a lynch, when I don't feel we really have had a look at some very important facts, namely:
-DS comes out all guns blazing D2, then drops of the face of the Earth as we all point fingers at each other. It works very well on newbie townies, but I think we're all intelligent people.
-charter seems to have also dropped off the face of the Earth. I want to see if he gets replaced, and if so I want to have a chat to his replacement.
-Gorgon has been very inactive as well, and in fact when I pointed this out he attacked me for, essentialy, being suspicious of lurkers. That is extremely suspicious to me, because we all know that lurking is bad for town no matter how you spin it. I want to put some pressure on him so I can hear from from him, soVOTE: Gorgon
-Infinitive seems to be leaning toward a lynch. It could simply be he wants to get on with the game, or he could be scum. You even described lynching Thanatos as our "Best bet". Maybe, maybe not, but I want to push the odds in town's favour as much as we can be we throw the dice, and it seems we've got yet to do that, soHOS: Infinitve-

I'm not counterclaiming either, so we need Charter now to counterclaim to prove Than as a liar. If we can't until his replacement comes, I think Than is pretty much cleared for now, although we should still look at the possibility of him lying.Gorgon wrote:.
- As Infinitive points out, no counterclaim. I'm not counterclaiming, so that leaves only liamcool and charter (or his replacement) as possible counterclaimants.
Infinitive has made careless mistakes, due to either merely misreading the reading the thread, or merely playing the role of sloppy scum and only reading the thread to see which bandwagons people join, as to pick the most obvious choice in terms of suspicion building for the nightkill.
I would throw a vote on Infinitive, but come night, if he's town, and there are four mafia, we lose. Voting right now due to these mistakes and his eagerness to end the day is tempting but I'm not going to.
FOS: Infinitive
Why didn't you go ahead, even though you now know I'm town? If I was your major suspicion during N1, why kill someone else? Insurgent might have convinced you to stay on DT, but there were seven people on that bandwagon, why pick him of all people?Thanatos wrote: As for Insurgent....I was convinced we would kill Liamcool yesterday. Beyond him, I wasn't really sure what to do. I didn't want to pass up my kill, because I had read that, statistically, a jumpy Vig helps the town. I also gave some reasons yesterday, when I talked about how Insurgent was the one who convinced me to stay on DT, and I was pretty suspicious of him, albeit for a bad reason. He also seems like something of a useless townie, and realistically, as good a kill as any. In hindsight, I should have gone with my initial person I wanted to kill, DS, but I chose to let him live.
Also, while I'm thinking of it, a fairly obvious (I would hope) but still worthwhile suggestion: Than, if you are a vig, and we get town on the lynch today (god forbid), do not vig on N3. While the chances of getting scum will be 1/3 under those circumstances, I don't like the 2/3 chance of a loss in that case.we cry under the sheltering sky-

Actually, if he's wrong, and you are a vig, and you don't kill tonight, we have another day for lynch (unless we have a 4 scum mafia, which is highly unlikely at best).
Two notes
1) Than, if I was your most suspicious person on D1, why didn't you kill me? (I may have asked this earlier, if I did, just redirect me, slap me around the head and call me an idiot)
2) Infinitive, the chance of me being a godfather is 1/7 (roughly 14% if my maths is correct). The odds are greatly stacked against me being godfather, if there even is one.we cry under the sheltering sky-

Gorgon, I really don't like how you waited for Infinitive to make a post before commencing your case on me. You seemed to have it fairly well fleshed out: if it was prepared earlier, why not post it back then?
And yes, to answer your question, I'm a fairly quiet player. I will readily admit that a lot of my posts tend to be stream of consciousness, first idea that pops into my head, etc. etc. In fact, I'm not really happy with this post, but my personal life takes precedence. Sorry.

Personally I think Infinitive is leaning towards scum, because he's made a lot of sloppy mistakes (in the past) that make me think he hasn't been reading the whole way through, just picking what suits him.
