Alright I am working on a reread right now, am through five pages, I should have the rest of the game done later tonight. I willunvotefor now just incase the vote wasnt removed when I replaced in.
-Page 2-
(36)
I dont like this, the point something out but dont draw definate conclusions is a scum tell to me. Introducing it with a 'this is vaugely scummy' tone, especially with no FoS/votes looks even worseLaptopGun wrote:This may be reaching, but all of a sudden we have a "counter wagon" on armlx. Does seem to be random votes. I would not let this go by without mentioning it as a fair percentage of the comments and actions so far have been off the wall.
(39) Armix calls LTG on it
-Page 3-
(51) LTG response. Says this is normal for him to point things out, and critcizes Gimbos play style. I still hold to the scummy part of the comment was not that it was pointed out but lack of a solid course of action taken
(54) K7 refuses to random vote
(57) Bogre vote on LTG confuses me. This is the first mention of LTG from him and the vote seems to leave out most of the scum reasoning I have seen.
Discussion on randoms and slow pace
-Page 4-
More useless banter
(81) LTG is back with an odd post. Accepts the vote from Bogre, pushes for game related discussion, metas, calls actions around randoms hard to read, spyrex town, gimbo odd.
(82) Bogre questions forbiddan statement
(84) Spyrex argues with some LTG points, agrees with others, FoS on forbiddan
(85) Borgre agrees with Spyrex against forbiddan, already established
(86) Forbiddan "post to post" comment
(90) armix criticizes CF, metas, criticizes forbiddan/agrees gimbo
More meta

Right now your play is hurting the town.

More Page by Page work. I will have the game finished with a vote and case tonight.
-Page 6-
armix/K7 argue
(129) Manito makes a joke sounding FoS on K7 (sides with armix?)
(130) Corin sides with K7
(132) FS calls forbiddan town
(138) TLG doesnt like K7 reactions
(139) TLG doesnt like FS line, still is being vauge on final conclusions
(141) CFR calls FS on not voting, and votes K7 on reactons to forbiddan selfvote, I like this post
(142) *ugh* agreement from manito with armix and then furthering a case with bad logic, also calls K7 scum, even though what he quoted seems to suggest K7 overagressive town
(144) forbiddan votes K7 saying her plan worked
ninja'd discussion
-Page 7-
(150)
I dont like this, seems to say "we need to lynch forbiddan eventually". Spyrex also called her actions a possible scum gambit, still not voting thoughSpyreX wrote: there are enough questions about forbid's alignment that we're going to have to lynch before lylo.
(151) Bogre agrees with armix, this is mafia not follow the leader people
(152) FS seems to OMGUS CFR for a legitimate post
(154) FS offically FoS-OMGUSs CFR
(160) Manito agrees with Bogre, who agreed with armix. I also noticed that Manito is voting armix who he agrees with
(161) Spyrex correctly calls FS on OMGUS, but still is very hesitant about forbiddan
Arguing
(168) SPyrex agrees with gimbo on a legitimate point
(173) Joubert quotes a lot of stuff, but really doesnt make any noticeable conclusions.
-Page 8-
(178) armix joins forbiddan wagon
(180) text wall, some points of intrest though - good analysis on joubert. I like the analysis on manito, but I am not sure how you come to a town conclusion on him. You point out he is overly agreeable, dont point out +town things, a town conclusion bares the question "why?" K7 get overagressive town read, lots of questions and a vote for forbiddan
(181) manito claims to of had no origional ideas, agrees again and votes forbiddan
(182) gimbo jumps on forbiddan wagon
(183) Forbiddan defends, but it seems to mostly be "you misinterpreted it"
(185) Borge calls bad defense, says starting to think forbiddan is scum. Makes ironic statement of discussion stimulus
(187) manito seems to want to find a way out of the wagon, not as sure on forbiddan as scum

LTG goes on meta spree for no apparent reason
(215) TLG still says forbiddan is scum
(222) FL goes between common sense and gut, but doesnt say what they are

I am all caught up now *cheer* final pages analysis here. I will orginize a case, vote and a few FoSs soon. Alsomodcan we get prods/replacements on dcorbe and ShadowGirl?
-Page 11-
(250) ugh block of text, was simplified later so will mention then
(252) spyrex says forbiddan is fundamentally the best lynch
(256) much simpler. town read - armix, joubert, spyrex, gimbo, corin, manito, bogre. neutral - shadow. scum read - K7, FL, FS, CFR, dcorbe, LTG
(257) forbiddan votes CFR
(258) FL makes case skeletons against manito, dcorbe and gimbo
(260) corin defends gimbo
(263) spyrex thinks if forbiddan is town, FS should be looked at
(265) KOC LoS is only forbiddan, votes forbiddan
(266) armix asks for hammer (this was L-3 lol)
(274) KOC wants forbiddan hammered regardless of alignment
-Page 12-
(276) KOC says it again
(282) Joubert votes forbiddan, seems slightly OMGUS and he seems afraid that it will "follow him" which to me suggests forbiddan=town
(285) manito seems to be happy with his vote to the extent he feels he needs not say anything else
(287) KOC agrues with forbiddan over the wanting of her hammered. I side with forbiddan here, it sounded like you thought as town it would be better off to have her lynched too.
(289) TLG still supporst forbiddan lynch
(291) I dont like for CFR says he only has time for things related to him (defense and suspects), but the rest of the post seems like a legitimate train of thought that he has had in this game, votes forbiddan
(292) manito attack FL for playstyle issues, misunderstands meta into an attack. Then starts defending his quietness on a lack of any other evidence. Sounds like he really wants a forbiddan lynch, but really doesnt seem to want to be pushing one.
(293) corin agrees with manito
(297) FL defends, a little overagressive defense, but it makes sense for the most part given what he was attacked for
-Page 13-
forbiddan and KOC fight
(309) forbiddan offers to self hammer
(310) corin calls it WIFOM
(311) shadowgirl, in her first game related post in a week, says its antitown
(313) FS thinks forbiddan is a mislynch due to not enough info
(315) K7 says dont selfhammer if you are town
(319) gimbo hammers
(321) spyrex expresses some uncertanty about his vote
(322) manito does a PBPA of FL. Part of your case in based on the unwillingness to vote, seriously, go meta. This is his playstyle. Quite a few mentions of the "cases" which arent really great, but give OMGUS vibes. Also the continued conflict over your inital big post against him, which I said really didnt look apealing already.
-Page 14-
(325) FL votes manito
(326) Spyrex wants to look at the people who didnt vote, in contrast to his 263 ideas
(327) KOC FoSs K7 (didnt bold it)
(328) armix wants to look at CFR and FS
(329) FS votes gimbo, FoSs K7
(335) KOC votes gimbo on meta reasons partially
(340) LTG wants to focus on K7, FoS not a vote
(341) Bogre wants to look at people late on the wagon
(344) armix votes FS, case promised later
(345) spyrex puts up cases on FL, LTG and FS
(347) manito votes FL. Main points seem to be
-voting him but not forbidden
-fluff posting (which I dont see)
-being emotional
(348) KOC debates between gimbo and FL, unvotes
(349) CFRs main suspicions seems to be gimbo, k7 and FS. Votes K7
-Page 15-
(350) FL defends
(352) gimbo votes manito, FoS on FS and LTG
(362) manito keeps pushing FL
(365) spyrex pushes FL
(367) Now theres a sexy analysis
(368) KOC votes FL, I dont like how he dismisses K7 due to inactivity though. Lurking does not change alignment.
(370) FS introduces some rediculus information that gimbo getting replaced is a scum tell
(374) LTG debates a pressure vote on K7. Suspects seem to be FL, gimbo and FS too.
-Page 16-
At least this game is active
(378) I dont get it, is this OMGUS?
(379) Joubert seems to defend gimbo-

Furthering the case against forbidden with false information (LAL) while agreeing with all other points by armixManito - 142 wrote:
I'm with Armlx on this one, and to quote the old addage - LAL.
Pulling something like this as a supposed "town" aligned player is bad juju...you don't lie, that is part of what defines us. Firestarter really nailed it on the head:
In his 160, Manito agrees with Bogre, who agrees with armix, who says forbiddan is scummy.
More pushing of forbiddan, this time with a vote. Once again though on a point that another player establishedManito wrote: Spyrex, you hit the nail on the head on that note - no one who is town would imply the possibility that they are scum.
187 seems like manito is asking someone to provide an alternative to forbiddan. Using phrases like "logical defense" "my vote standsfor nowand "im not convinced of innocence" both imply thoughts of forbiddan being town, since she is using good defense and the way convinced of innocence was used, it sounded like "but I can be" should of been added on. 'for now' obviously implies ability to be swayed easily
This sounds like a passive defense of forbiddan, who you are voting at this point. By throwing out the possibility that the plan worked, that would also imply that forbiddan is town, which your vote does not reflect.Manito - 243 wrote: (1) was it successful in revealing mafia?
and
(2) whether was it a (a)scum tactic to throw suspicion off a partner, or a (b)town tactic to incite action from scum - was the action itself too questionable in execution to exclude part (a)?
This gets good, this post alone merits a few votes. Now, of COURSE you arent going to just spam to post or anything like that, however you are not playing like town. You seem to be very happy with your vote on forbiddan. So what? The lack of a push from you to actually get forbiddan lynched, especially with the town flip on her, makes me think that you intentionally refused to push the case and become a major part of her lynch in fear of being called on it subsequent days.Manito - 285 wrote: You guys get all in a huff about "Manito just agrees with everyone" and "Manito doesn't post enough" - why would I post a bunch of inane garbage and rhetoric when I've already voted for the person I currently believe is the scummiest. I'd be more concerned with the fence-riders and the people who have no opinion, personally...
On top of all that you say that the people who are fence sitting should be looked at, not you. Pushing people away from a stance you take claiming people who chose other stances are scummy is in itself, scummy
Again, there is a difference between posting for the sake of posting, and pushing a case on scum. You choose to do neither and just sit there complaining that we want you to post more and get some origional ideas.Manito - 292 wrote:My statement was that the discussion had come to a standstill, which is exactly what forbiddan stated, and couldn't have put it better: If she dies, she dies, if she doesn't, who does? Because frankly no one else is discussing any other options. I stated that I don't like to sit around and post just for the sake of posting, especially after having voted. My vote is in, and I have explained exactly why I voted.
Furthermore, somthing interesting about your playstyle is, it picked up the moment you came under suspicion from FL. Untill this point you seemed content just going with the flow and making minor comments. Including the random stage, you had ten posts before FL made the case against you. Since then you have had 13 posts, with far more substance then before. Going from posting little over 5 lines per post and less then a post a day average to posting large blocks of text, and averaging nearly three posts per day, that is just amazing. Something changed there, and I think lurker scum came out fighting.
vote Manito
side note as you posted as I was writing this. The recap is for as much my benifit at figuring out what happened as everyone elses. If I went into extream detail with every post I thought had significance, I would still be stuck on page five. When I make cases, like this, I have plenty more analysis.
opinions on a few others to come later tonight, tomorrow at latest-

My second pick for scum is someone who really seems to be going unnoticed, but on a reread concerned me quite a bit. That would be Corinthian.
Now for the most part of the early game, Corin played to the extent where nothing was added, a few meta comments, confusion about random stage, and no serious votes. It wasnt untill 130 where he took a stance on something even.
So a bit of siding with K7, previously unmentioned, to put pressure on forbiddan, also previously unmentioned.Corinthian wrote: I can agree with killa's basic idea- it kinda looks like forbid gave up and self-voted cause she was feeling attacked. But voting someone you think is a townie to see if she "really wants to play this game" is a stupid plan.
Debate then goes on and on about forbiddan, and Corin jump in eventually with
I cant really get the just of this. It seems to take a great stance where it can be interpreted to whatever is needed, making it a noncommital quote towards both forbiddan and K7, who at this point were becoming the people that had a high lynch chance.Corinthian wrote:Am I missing something?
Forbiddan claims to have been acting out a clever plan, right? A trap into which K7 fell?
What exactly was this brilliant plan, anyway? Look scummy and self-vote to see who else joins the wagon? How is that a trap for scum?
If one intentionally tries to be scummy to get votes, all that proves is that people will vote for players who act like scum.
He simply doesnt agree with the plan, saying it was a bad thing to do. Although the option of it catching K7 is mentioned. So while taking a stance on what he thinks of the plan, the thoughts on the players involved in it are left out.
Soon after, he joins the forbiddan wagon because he thinks she did not actually have a plan at all. This reasonin was something that FS pointed out
I dont like this post. It sounds like in this post, he is starting to give forbiddan=town some credibility as FS is "twisting her words"Corinthian wrote:Agree with forbid on the last two posts.
She's right, I've sniped her arguments, but she repeatedly called me probable town.
starting to think there is something to her repeated accusations that firestarter is twisting her words.
Also, she's right that most of what people are talking about right now is her case and whether or not it's scummy.
Doesn't make her town, but does make it look like firestarter might be trying hard to distance himself.
How people talking about her case does not seem relevent at all in this post either, which to me seems to be more geared at an attack on FS for pushing forbiddan who he is voting. The word distancing is used, but with forbiddan flipping town, it smells of setting up D2 lynch as "twisting words" could now be called a scum move.
I dont see you trying to either pull a wagon off forbiddan or push it to lynch. You just are sitting there acting conflicted. FL is at least trying to do something.Corinthian wrote: small FoS to Faerie Lord for saying he doesn't want to discuss other people until we resolve the forbid issue.
ugly post. Town should not be trying to make it player vs player, or even promoting that possibility. In this post, you also manage to not really back anyone up while pointing out an argument. From previous posts you have a small FoS on FL, for wanting to concentrate on forbiddan (your vote) and a playstyle thing (go meta). I dont see any mention of manito from you up untill this point eitherCorinthian wrote: So now we've got manito vs. FaerieLord
well, we know which side KC is on.
what the hell, why not ask forbid and fire what they think about this discussion?
Finally we have his last post, he hasnt said anything D1.5 yet. In this he trys to make forbiddan a WIFOM arguement, while not taking a definate stance on it for it meaning town or scum. After that though, you go as far to try and throw some dirt on K7, who has got quiet. It had been about a week since you even mentioned him at this point, and close to a lynch mudslinging looks bad.Corinthian wrote:Are we going to have the "would a townie self-hammer?" debate now? I've seen it argued both ways: only scum would suggest self-hammering/ scum would never suggest it.
It is a little odd that K7 decided to leave off contributing, considering he's a main player in the forbid discussion.
HoS Corinthian-

My third suspect would be Knight of Cydonia
Nice tunnel vision to enter the game with. While having a clear suspect is never a bad thing, we now have no idea of your inital thoughts on most players, on most arguments and ideas, on other wagons. We just know you want forbiddan dead. The way this is said also implies a later return to look at other players, which never did happen. D1 you spent just about the whole time pushing for a fobiddan lynch.Knight of Cydonia wrote:Wow. well, this was going to be a full LoS, but I'd actually like to have a focused look at forbiddan light.
Knight of Cydonia wrote:I honestly think if the town doesn't lynch forbidden after quite possibly the scummiest first day I ever did see, we're screwed. Anyone who acts this scummy as town is a hindrance, and anyone who acts so blatantly obvious as scum is a gift.
And like my mum says, never refuse a gift. Because you can always get store credit.
Now, I have to side with what forbiddan said here. These two quotes to me basically boil down to the following statement -Knight of Cydonia wrote:
Quite frankly, m'dear, if you are town, I'd be almost as happy to see you go. You're doing nothing by playing this way other than helping the Mafia.anyone who acts this way as town is a hindrance
"I think you are scum, but as a townie you dont have much use, so lynching you isnt horrible either way"
I have seen this debate a few times, and my position is always the same. A townie who is not too good is still a townie. They are still a body that mafia needs to get lynched, NK or endgame. Killing off someone because they are not a good player is handing scum a free pass for the day.
First of all IKnight of Cydonia wrote:It certainly looks like a initial strategy that went wrong, to me. I think fl is almost certainly (99.9999% sure) scum, and if so, I'd suggest having a big look at killa's reaction in 1.5. They've both played a lot of WIFOM throughout the day, so I'd say they look a lot like a pair trying to play a strategy. Killa, I'm less certain of than fl, but only because he's been a bit quiet - I'm actually leaning town with him, if only because I think he realised that his trying to draw aggro players out isn't necessarily going to draw out the family. I think it's most likely that if fl is scum(and I'm sure she is), so is he, though.hatewith a passion people who do the 99% scum stuff, this is always bull to make your case just look better. The rest of this post is ripe with contradiction though. At first KOC says that fobiddan is scum (grr) and given that she is scum, we should take a close look at K7 tomorrow because he thinks that they were playing very similary. At the same time though, you have a town read on K7. You train of thought goes forbiddan scum -> K7 scum. So why do you say that K7 is town? You again finish with forbiddan and K7 are scum. What is K7 and why?
Tunnel vision and personal attacks... words exchanged that make both players look a little assyKnight of Cydonia wrote:Yeah, look, fl, we all know you're scum, or the most retarded townie ever, so stop trying to throw crap out there to try and get a townie lynch day 1.5.
Defends people who werent voting (good) and then FoSs K7 for lurking (not as good) it would be nice to see a case to back this up a bitKnight of Cydonia wrote:I don't think it's as black and white as that, SpyreX. Looking at it as "You didn't vote because you wanted to avoid people looking at you!" can go on into a WIFOM chain long enough to tow the Earth back form the Medusa Cascade. If fl had been playing normally as opposed to a crap, one-dimensional complete-lack-of-defence, then we could look at the votes to see what's what. As it is, she probably fooled as many townies as she made goons happy. For now, based on yesterday, I will FoS Killa7, simply because he quite happily went completely AWOL while forbiddan dug herself a deeper and deeper hole, turning up only when it was a near certainty she would be lynched.
Here he bounces around between Gimbo, K7 and FL. As of 351, FL gets an annoyed read, Gimbo townish, and K7 as scummiest seeming.
Finally a bit of a case with a vote. I may not agree with a FL scum read, but its something. Again though it really isnt a novel idea though. Out of his three suspects, gimbo got replaced which alleviated suspicion there, and K7 really wasnt moving towards a lynch. It seems as if he took the safest vote and parroted the reasons for it here.Knight of Cydonia wrote:That said, your... somewhat belligerent offensive has worked. FL has changed completely from Day 1 - if he was town, I'd expect him to have been more consistent in voting style, instead of jumping in feet-first, a complete change from "I vote rarely." So, I willVote: FaerieLordfor schizophrenia, wall-of-texting to try and avoid questions, and the way his calm demeanour has completely cracked under any kind of pressure.
This again bugs me a little. If you have a scum read on K7, which given forbiddan flipping town I am a little surprised at, you should follow up your lead. You can ask questions to lurkers, vote lurkers and ask the mod to prod lurkers.Knight of Cydonia wrote:I said I was going to put K7 aside for a moment - there's not much point in questioning someone who's lurking until they begin to make a commitment to the game.
Speaking of which, K7 has only posted about 5 posts that are more than a sentence long, and they seem to be perfectly placed just as people start thinking
about a prod. Lurking in open sight anyone?
Overall though with KOC, I get a very scummy D1 play, and a more neutral D2 play, which is the only real reason I have him below Corin on my suspicion list.
FoS Knight of Cydoniaeven though I still love that song, long time Muse fan.
I am now open to questions and comments since I feel fully caught up so fire away-

vote Knight of Cydonia
Lets get a response to my case in 393 and what CFRs 398 had to add this time instead of a odd post about Gimbo (me) being odd around FL who you are currently voting.
Anything else against FL that you have to offer us too? Your current case sure doesnt sound to compelling to me.
I agree with Spyrex though, it would be nice to at least here intentions of voting from the people who arent. In fact there are multiple people who we havent even heard from yet today.
@modlast votecount is a little off, spyrex and firestarter are voting. And FS is voting me but it still reads Gimbo-

Ive gotten some answers from Manito that I am mulling over still, and I still hold him as a top three suspect. KoC has however ignored my case against him in entirety while seeming to make a passive attack against me, for something my predicesor did. This attacks merits also to somewhat be in direct confliction with how he is voting right now, as well. Once I get some answers from KoC and Corin, I should be able to make a better decision on everyones scummy level.LaptopGun wrote:Just a question for Llama: Have you switched votes because Knight has acted scummier than Manito, have you just changed your mind about Manito, or something else?
To shorten it all up though, given how KoC acted after I presented my case and the things CFR added, he is above Manito on my scum list right now-

Misinterpreted, D1 you were lurky, D2 you have picked up posting, possibly due to being under fire.Manito wrote:lol, I'm averaging 3 posts a day because I'm playing two different games now, and I'm new to the site...
The facts you were looking into implied innocent forbiddanPassive defense? How is fact hunting a passive defense...?
Fair enoughThe entire forbiddan fiasco was a tough call, because there was so much discussion on both sides. In the end, I didn't feel that forbiddan's defense was anything more than OMGUS, which was not enough to convince me to retract my vote.
Well this sounds OMGUSy. Town tries to get scum lynched though, even if it requires being forceful and coercive at times."I'm not playing like town" - in whose eyes? Since you're a replacement, I'll cut you some slack, but let's not forget that technically speaking, you're the one who hammered when there was still a lot of discussion going on. That wasn't a particularly town move. I didn't push for her lynch because that isn't what I typically do, if you read over my other posts. I prefer to post the facts as I see them, and let people make up their own minds, rather than trying to be forceful and coercive...
You could of tried to stop them if you felt it was detrimental to the town. I still don’t like the turnaround in playstyle either, it seemed like FL hit a nerve more then you suddenly feeling compelled to talk.Suspicion? You call counting my posts being suspicious of me? My "playstyle" picked up because FL's playstyle changed drastically, and actually gave me a reason to post. Up to that point, it was largely watching a boring battle of FS and forbiddan yelling and namecalling back and forth. No logic, nothing but a bunch of OMGUS back and forth...
-
Well, I find it a bit hard to belive that you never found anyone else scummy day one. Tunnel vision really isn’t helpful either way though. It took you six game related posts to even mention K7 as a suspect though, so it didn’t sound too much like he was even close to forbiddan, more of a backup plan in case something derailed the forbiddan wagon.Knight of Cydonia wrote:...Yes, I did tunnel into the start of the game a bit, so what? I considered forbiddan to be the most scummy - indeed, pretty much the only person at that point to have posted any kind of scum-tell.. And if you actually look at my posts, you'll see I also took a look at killa7, my other main suspect. All I'd be doing by posting what I think of everyone else is repeating "I'm not sure, hasn't seemed scummy yet" another 14 times.
I would of rather had her around. Ive had to play a game with Gimbo before, he was annoying, scummy, crude and guess what? We didn’t lynch him, he was town, town won. Don’t start basing lynches on peoples playstyle or that they are erratic and confusing players. Town is town, it’s a body scum has to kill at somepoint.Knight of Cydonia wrote: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you wanted fl kept around to confuse us for the next lynch, and the next, and the next.[/n]
[
My problem with this post was “Im leaning town on him [Killa]” coupled with “If fl is scum(and im sure she is), so is he.” Your logic puts K7 at town on a read, but put him at scum on a pairing, which leaves open a door saying “K7 is town” given fls flip, but if she flipped scum gave reasoning to persue K7.Wow, way to completely misread my post. I said I was less certain of killa than fl, and that I was leaning towards town on him, not that he was town. I would have been leaning town on him still, if he wasn't lurking so deliberately. And if you're calling me picking out forbiddan as scum as a tell, you have 8 other players, including yourself, to look at.
Lurking on its own is not really a scumtell, there has to be something done beforehand that adds on to the situation. Corin isn’t 100% scum because he hasn’t posted D2, you aren’t 100% scum because the player you replaced was inactive.Well, he was lurking, and it was being done very cleverly, posting fluff just enough to avoid a prod, whilst still managing to lure forbiddan into that lynch. That was my case - he's lurking, and deliberately avoiding attention. We have no good roles, AFAIK, so the only explanation to lurk is as scum.
I still err on the side of a parrot here. While you didn’t explicitly “agree with all the evidence, vote FL” you did add some fairly weak evidence which I think meta basically destroys. Have you metad FL yet?Knight of Cydonia wrote: Agreeing with a case isn't parroting. And I was the first to comment on the way his posting style has changed from calm to relatively agro
You can still ask for a prod, you can still vote him. Complaining really wont do much it seems so why the unwillingness to take it to the next stage?Knight of Cydonia wrote: I can't ask for a prod when he's lurking in open sight, which is what he's doing. He's posting, just with absolutely no content, barely a line or two. He's also completely ignored several questions I've asked of him - or do those not find your strung together case?
You posted after I put up my case. In that post, you mention Gimbo (me) acting flaky and scummy towards a possible vote of FL. You not only managed to ignore the case I laid out against you, but also OMGUSed me a bit. I still don’t think you have answered the questions that CFR presented to you as well. Because of all that, I voted you so I would finally get your attention and it worked, (ironically this is what I said you should of done to K7).Oh, and if you're accusing me of avoiding your case, why didn't you vote Corinthian ahead of me, since he too didn't answer your case immediately, and was apparently higher on your list? Looking for an easy target?-

You OMGUSed me in post 396. There was no direct vote or FoS, but given the context of the game, it was a passive shot at me intented to make me look worse. To make this more interesting, and something that I missed before, it was actually in response to Jouberts 395, which asked clarification of an attack on Gimbo. So instead of answering my case that was presented in 393, you decided to ignore that case and instead talk about a case against me. That falls in the OMGUS category to me.Knight of Cydonia wrote: Ummm, okay, where the hell did I OMGUS you? I haven't voted you or Gimbo, and all I ever commented on Gimbo was that he was hard to read, and that the reason-less hammer and "shit" post could be taken a variety of ways. I said I was unsure of Gimbo, and the same goes for you, and everyone else here, since I haven't played regularly with any of you, and have no meta to go on.
Again, timeline went as follows : first I post a case against you in 393. Joubert questions you in post 395. You respond to Joubert, furthering a case against Gimbo in 396 while ignoring my 393. No psychicness needed here. You ignored what I had to say and pushed Gimbo as scummy in the same post, which is scummy in my book and put you ahead of Corin. Also if you read my post carefully, I said your D1 was really scummy to me, but your D2 was much better. However with 396 you returned to scummy to me, and earned my vote. I look forward to responses to CFR.Knight of Cydonia wrote:I'm not psychic. I can't refute your case before you post it. At least I've replied, Corinthian hasn't posted in so long he needs to be prodded. BY your logic, you should be voting him because he's higher on your list (apparently), and to get his attention.
Now Corin has done the same ignorance crime as you though, so
unvote
vote Corinathin
untill I get some answers to 392-

Well if you arent going to respond to points I made against you, voting is a good way to actually snap your attention to the points I am trying to make. I voted KoC at one point because he was posting without really responding to a case I made against him either. It took a vote to get his attention and it seems like the same concept applied here.Corinthian wrote:So Llama's going to jump his vote around to try and make people talk? Yeah, that's helpful.
(What the hell is a "same ignorance crime?")
Yeah, thats the way cases go normally. People make accusations, people respond. It is not people make accusations, people ignore them because they arent phrased as a question. If you want though you can imagine an "Am I right?" at the end of every paragraph I wrote.I looked at 392. It's a really big post, but Llama never actually asks any questions in it.
So what do you want, Llama? Commentary on your commentary?-

I still think we should be lynching KoC, mantio or Corin here instead of FL. None of them have really given me any reasons so far this game to start making me think that they are town.
KoC is being OMGUSsy and ignoring cases against him today after tunneling and policy lynching fl D1
Manito was overagreeable and is now pushing a weak case on FL, which he now seems content letting others lead
Corin hasnt even responded to my post and has been a shadow with a vote this whole game-

For the hundredth time! A body is a body. Town wins when there are no scum, scum wins when they outnumber town. Everyone counts to town though, the people like gimbo who are off the wall insane, the people like me who are building cases, the people like K7 who lurk and the people like forbiddan who do weird things. They ALL are bodies that are essential to the win. EVERYONE counts, it doesn’t matter who they are they all are essential to the town winning. I count as one town, Faerie counts as one town, LTG counts as one town, no one is more important to have number wise, ever. With that said, forbiddan counted as town, she was a body that could help us win. Instead, you seem quite happy that she is dead, which I don’t understand. We lost a body, we are closer to losing, so why do you keep saying that lynching her was the right move and a good thing?Knight of Cydonia wrote: It wasn't a policy lynch on my part - I believed she was almost certainly scum. However, you have to admit, not havig her around this day has actually allowed us to have a much wider look at teh whole group, instead of focusing on forbiddan.
Also how is this
Or thisKnight of Cydonia wrote:I honestly think if the town doesn't lynch forbidden after quite possibly the scummiest first day I ever did see, we're screwed. Anyone who acts this scummy as town is a hindrance, and anyone who acts so blatantly obvious as scum is a gift.
And like my mum says, never refuse a gift. Because you can always get store credit.
Or even thisKnight of Cydonia wrote:
Quite frankly, m'dear, if you are town, I'd be almost as happy to see you go. You're doing nothing by playing this way other than helping the Mafia.anyone who acts this way as town is a hindrance
How are all those not pushing us towards a policy lynch. You basically are saying that no matter what fl is she needed to be lynched. Right there, no questions asked. That is a policy lynch.Knight of Cydonia wrote:I said I'd be almost as happy. That doesn't mean I'm voting for you whether or not you're town - it means if you aren't scum, you're screwing up our first lynch, and it's better than we find out what you are now, than let you confuse us further, when it's down to 4/5 to lynch.
Not everyone wanted a policy lynch. Most people were pushing for her being scum and trying to figure out if she was or was not. You were the only one who seemed intent on getting her lynched regardless of what her alignment was. Also you never vote OMGUSed me, there are many levels. After my case, you mentioned how Gimbo looked scummy while not commenting on the case. This is OMGUS, you made an attack at your attacker. Also nice WIFOM-OMGUS there. So now we are supposed to assume you are town because if you were scum you would be OMGUSing you? That is just weird.Knight of Cydonia wrote: And if you want to call it a policy lynch, by your own logic, there are 8 other people who should be suspected. 9, including yourself, since it's a policy lynch to lynch anyone advocating a policy lynch. I'm certainly not OMGUSing - if I was, I'd have thrown out about 5 votes by now, in response to CF Riot and your cases - neither of which I ignored, so saying I have isn't going to fly. I responded to both of you. If I was scum, I'd probably be voting you at this point. I'm not, because I believe you're town, like me.
Ok maybe weak wasn’t the best choice of words. At this point though I do not see myself voting for FL because I think that he is town. This is not as much guided by actions of FL, but its due to where the attack on FL is coming from. Early in D2 I listed my three scum, at this point, every one of them are voting FL. Now this is either some intense bussing, or a mislynch push. I feel that my ability to call scum is good enough to be able to put the FL wagon at a mislynch given what I think of the pushers.Knight of Cydonia wrote: And calling the FL case weak is... well, a bit dumb.-

Well sometimes you need to look at the picture as a whole. You seem to be inclined to think K7 and FL are scum. If both of them suddenly went after someone, would that make you think that player was more or less townie? When I see people I think are scum trying to get someone lynched I view them as more town.Manito wrote:We're all calling FL the proverbial "horse" here, and we're basing it off of what we see. You're saying FLisn'ta "horse" just because we're all saying heis- andnot because of the evidence in front of you.
Its also meta. If you havent you seriously should go look at how FL plays in other games. As town, its very similar, sure it looks scummy, but its his playstyle. Honestly, go meta and tell me his actions are still so scummy. With my top three people voting him though, and knowing the meta knowlage that I do, I will NOT be voting for FL.-

But you should never have anything to quote that says or can be interpreted as this. You even said that three times. Maybe once is excusable when you lose emotion controll, but at three points in D1 I interpreted this stance on fl from you. I am not arguing the fact that you didnt vote fl based on a scum read. What I am arguing is the fact that you seemed to want her lynched regardless and really were not about to take any alternative as an option.Knight of Cydonia wrote: There's a big difference between saying someone is hindering the town as townie, and saying they should be lynched regardless. I considered forbiddan to be scum, I voted her on that basis.All you've done is artfully pick out comments that make it look like I'm saying "lynch her whatever".All of us on the forbiddan lynch reckoned she was scum.
You replace in saying that you want a indepth look at fl. It took you six posts to even mention anyone else. Apart from K7, you only mention the manito/FL fight breifly, but to further the fl case. Tunnel vision abounds in your D1, everything you said was aimed at taking fl down a peg, and chalking her up as scum. K7 gets one post of mention, but that is promptly forgotten, letting this wagon go untouched. Manito/FL was the second thing that stood out that day, and you seemed to call it as a shot against fl. Again, not taking anything else as a possible case, fl was going, no matter what, and everything that happened made her more scum to you.
And then after I presented my case you clarified your case against Gimbo instead of answering me. It took a vote to get a response.KoC wrote:Also, I did comment on the Gimbo case - I said
shortly before you replaced in.KoC wrote: The reasonless hammer, combined with the "shit" post, could be read a variety of ways. For that reason, I'll be keeping an eye on Gimbo.
So if people dont agree with me at the time I have to be wrong? This I dont really get. When I think im right I am going to push your case. Also why do you feel that you need to turn this around into an attack against Armix? It seems like you are trying to undermind my attack more then defend against it from that post.Please, Llama. just give it up. I'm fairly sure you're town, but the evidence you're using is flawed, and nobody agrees with you, apart from armlx, who has magically decided to start posting properly now, as soon as Firestarter points out he's been short-posting - which, looking over his last posts, is generally true. There's about two posts in 1.5 that have decent content, the rest has been regurgitating the cases of others, word for word.
meta is a little more then WIFOM to me so I am not going to just dismiss what I know from FL in other games. As ive said before though, with my three scum picks becoming the triforce trying to get the same person lynched. I am NOT going to support that lynch. While I am not absolving FL of all scummy behavior, I feel that who is pushing this wagon is more suspect then the person being pushed.KoC wrote:Oh and how many times do I have to re-iterate:
GAH! Meta is a WIFOM at best, useless to divine scum, and leads to mis-lynches at worst. Don't use meta to defend people. Give me evidence within this game, evidence of FL's township, not the scumminess of other people.LlamaFluff wrote: Honestly, go meta and tell me his actions are still so scummy.
OMGUS? You have been pushing FL this whole day and seem intent on getting him lynched, wouldnt that mean that you are scum by your own logic?KoC wrote:LlamaFluff(I'm still leaning town, but an assault of this length is starting to look a little desperate.)-

I have KoC, Manito and Corin as my scum right now. You could even see Manito starting a push on FL easy D1. Corin made his mark in 293 so it was simple to predict a jump on FL today. KoC voting wasnt quite as suspected to me as the others, in fact his comment on Manito/FL made it even more confusing since he seemed to call manito scummy for misinterpretation on FL.SpyreX wrote:Wait, llama - are you saying that I started this train and three scum jumped on it in succession or that I'm scum?
So your former, I think scum are just riding an easy FL wagon that was set up during D1.
@modcan we get a prod on Corin?-

KoC strikes me as most off because out of the three I didnt expect his vote landing there as much, remember it was on me untill I replaced in. Manito had made it perfectly clear that he was going after FL during D1, Corin made strong hints at it.SpyreX wrote:I understand your thought process and I'm not making statements about their alignments since I dont know, but it would seem really odd for me to have scum be the 2nd-4th votes on a wagon. One I could see, POSSIBLY 2, but not all 3.
Of them, Corin strikes me as the most off, mostly because he's been lurking. I'm trying to stay out of further debates for a bit with FL (to hopefully spark different discussions).
Also remember that only Manito was voting FL before I started writing my PBPA and cases, KoC voted during my catching up. Corin never voted untill after I presented my case on him.-

Ganon... love that up-B. I would rather lynch any of my three picks instead of FL without much hesitation. During the first day, manito and corin both made moves to setting up a FL lynch, given that fl flipped town, this seems to of bolstered their case a bit. Now when I see people looking like they are setting up a lynch, having town flip D1, and moving on to the player it seemed like they were moving to immediately, I get huge alarms going off. KoC is a little different, he never commented much on FL day one, although mentioned manito/FL being distracting. D2 he quickly locked in on him though.LaptopGun wrote:Interesting thoughts there about your so-called Triforce. So does that make you Link or Ganon? My problem is it's an awfully big risk to put quite a few eggs in one basket, like the mafia would have to do, to basically line up against FL. I'm always leery when someone suggests possible suicidal plots if they go wrong incredibly early in a game. I also have to caution that you are leading the town towards a case of "let's all lynch these guys and ignore everyone else." Your "hit list," as it were, is basically inviting us to tunnel in on these guys and that may not be the best thing from the town's point of view. Trying to create "theories of everything" to explain the progressions of wagons and how the mafia operates never works out. The reasons for courses of actions can be totally wrong and details are never exactly right. Let alone, random chance and mob mentality. It's an awfully big risk for the town as well. If we're wrong we could end up with a lot of mislynches.
I am not persay trying to get people to tunnel to my three picks either, but given my views on FL, I am trying to provide better alternatives to that lynch, and I encourage people who feel along the same lines as me to take the same course of action. I would greatly prefer one of these three people lynched since according to what I have they have a much higher chance of being scum then anyone else. You also accuse me of tunnel vision, while most of the FL voters are guilty of the same crime, while they occasionally will throw K7 in there (which they all seem to like as well), no real discussion comes from these players apart from defense of me going after them.
So I have three players who I consider suspects, who seem to of set up a FL lynch day one while getting fl lynched, who are now tunneled in on the same player, I really dont know what to be doing except for trying to get them lynched.-

Wow, thats a lot of back and forth between armix and FS, pages of PBPA arguments hurt the eyes.
I guess my first request, to each of you is to make more sensical cases. I understand the benefits of PBPA, but I always have a hard time really formulating the stance of the aggressor in those, because it isnt as magnified as a normal case.
With that said, FS, you take the "nothing added" path too many times, a lot of armix's posts do lack signifcant substance, but they do however answer what is quoted most of the time, and keep people on a good track. There are some miffs, but a lot do accomplish what they intended. Your vote on him appeared preemptive to me too, as it mostly seemed a pressure vote asking "make that case", I also agree with him that your actions could easily be percieved as distancing, three days before the lynch you became against it, working up to asking no one to hammer.
After armix voted fl though you start making some logical case sense to me. If you could though just a bulleted case of why Armix is scum. Like I said its hard to read through pyrimids and pages and always pick out the main points.
On to Armix on FS...
There are a lot more solid points here, mostly thanks to PBPA, of so many posts. The underlying problem here is the lack of a case case, meaning that there is really no direction presented to look in. It seems to be more of a "here are the facts" type post. Analysis of FS-17 is the most prevelant example of this attitude, called odd, but you come up indecisive to it in the end.
This mostly is giving me a headache. Both of you seem to be going for the kill making the emotional part spill over a bit into the logical part, making it even more headache inducing. However, I really think that a case that looks something like this:
would be nice to hear from each of you. Because at this point there are some vaild statements that both of you are presenting, but they are lost in a vortex of words and quote blocks that really are taking away from them, and are giving me a hard time identifying the essentials for the cases.example case wrote: Player X is scummy because
-Point A
-Point B
-Point C
-Point D
Right now I like FSs case alittlemore then armix's, but still neither of the cases are coming close to my personal picks right now.-

Points to be made here...
Firstly is something that recently happened thatkindareally pissed me off. Corin came back, for one post, to throw out some one liners about FL is scum, and meta isnt helpful. Well that great! A nice case for us there to read through, we really know what you are thinking. However, my case *again* is not even touched by Corin. Much frustration here for me.
Secondly, anyone else still being pinged by manito? I LOVE his one post where he "analyzes" everyone. Once you take out players he is more then 60/40 on, which is where I consider having a read on players, he made analysis on just three people. FL at scum and Spyrex and armix at town. Again connecting the three players, KoC is a no read, when I had a case on him already, Corin is given 60% town read on a 'feeling'. This is probally one of the most noncommital posts I have seen this game.
Right after this manito actually seems to grow a pair and starts pushing the FL lynch. Sure it had to be prompted by CFR saying that manitos case seemed weak, but we finally get a case. A few interesting points in that case though involve Spyrex's word being taken as "word of god" and FL called scummy for doing something different. Calling the vote of FL on manito without strong evidence, which I definantly see as being there, manito has never left my top three after replacing into this game.
Then we have a few "meta is stupid" posts, furthering his case on FL. Attacking me for defending FL (little OMGUS?). Then his analysis on Armix/FS bugs me. He sides with FS against armix (who seems to be winning at this point) however during his analysis he had armix 80% town and FS 60% scum, this is a fast turnaround.
Finally a little bit of meta bashing and asking for K7 to get replaced. Thats manito for you.
I still want my case answered by Corin who really hasnt done anything today to make me think he is town, but manito is one of the best lynches we can get today. He is being fence-sitty as shown by analysis, he is not really going full force on a FL lynch, more underming meta then going for a lynch, and really made a fast turnaround regarding armix, one of the only people who he was sure of during his analysis.-

This led to the conclusion FL=scum, hence you having "word of god" powers over manito, which I dont see why town would ever let anyone have that over themSpyrex directly asks FL in Post #223 to state any reason why forbiddan's lynch wasn't solid. FL didn't have to post the other cases, he just needed to provide information to the contrary of forbiddan's lynch. Rather than do that though, FL decided to post other cases-

Then why mention what you said in his case? Instead of coming to the conclusion that it was scummy by himself, or what or what not was the right thing to do, now he has your name to pin part of his suspicion on if FL flips town.SpyreX wrote:Llama, I think thats only a part of his case, but I dont think its the word of god on my end but the inaction on the other that led him that way?
While he did eventually say that FL was scummy for actions, the fact remains that he partially used logic of someone who he called town to help further his case. Manito should be drawing conclusions on what he believes are town and scum tells, not using tells of people he percieves alignment on and from there deciding that moves have alterior motivation.
Boiling it down, there was no need to add what you said to the argument that FL is scum. By doing so, it makes the argument less his and more of a collective, that later can be pointed to and said "this was Spyrex driven, not from me"-

Just because you have answered questions I have posed does NOT mean that I think you are town. Your interactions seem closely related to other players, I think the way you played day one was scummy, and today you are pushing a wagon that I consider to be a mislynch. The vote of Bogre after calling FL scum for so long makes me think you are scum as well, sure it was an ugly vote, but abandoning a case you have been adament about all of the day for it? Doesnt feel right, especially considering how fast it went back to FL.Knight of Cydonia wrote:Seriously, what is with this desperate tunnel vision on me, Manito and Corin?
And to me, it lokos like you don't actually have a case on me. I've refuted any and all points made against me, so why are you lumping me in with Manito and Corinthian? Do you just feel the need to fill up a neat trinity, or do you want to make sure you never have to try and find some evidence on anyone else?
If you are calling me tunneling on you, I think the same applies to you on FL, occasionally you poke around the current hot topic like you did with Borge and K7, but FL seems to be the only person you really ever make a push to get lynched.
You three are my top scum picks, so why should I be afraid to be pushing a case against you? Nothing you have done has convinced me otherwise, your play is scummy, and the fact that when only I am pushing you and that sending you into overdefensiveness is scummy.-

Just out of curiosity, the main case on K7 seems to be a mix of lurking and backseat driving on the fl lynch correct?
If that is true, why are we seeming to ignore Corin? For most of the first day, he was voting fl, but never pushed her too hard. A vote, a few comment directed at her to make her seem scum, but he let other people like FS do a lot of the fl-scum arguing. During the end of the day, he even was starting to make jabs at FL, stop talking about fl, and today guess who he is voting? Once again though, he is in the backseat, just leaving it at a vote. Now he is occasionally poping in to throw a few one liners at FL, and still ignores my case against him.
Am I the only one who sees a similarity here?-

Amazingly, K7 is absolutely right about this being very scummy. You are attempting to get me to vote with you under the premise of if K7 is scum then you will listen to me. You also are ignoring all the points I brought up against Corin in my past posts, saying that he simply is guilty of lurking. While that is part of my suspicion it in no way is my only suspicion of him.Knight of Cydonia wrote: Would you be willing to vote Killa, on the guarantee that if he flips scum, I will listen to whatever case you want to make against Corin, whose only crime I can see is lurking?
You also have the wording in that post to say if K7 is scum, I dont think Corin is scum because they are behaving simillary. Again, this is poor logic and really mocking my case. From what I gather, you have K7 and Corin as either scum buddies or both town. The refusal to vote Corin over K7 is noted, along with the relationships you are drawing from this. This is blatant attempt at buying my vote to your cause, which if anyone has ever played with me is something they know I will never do.
I will vote K7 if I think K7 is scum. Right now there are people who are more then part then he is, so they will be getting my vote, not K7.-

No one is in danger of a lynch. A vote is a traceable thing too. If I make a case or start saying I suspect someone, and later that person is lynched. Regardless of what part I played in that lynch, I can refrence my earlier actions and overplay or underplay how much suspicion I really had on them. A vote means you really do suspect someone and wouldnt mind a lynch. Calling someone suspicious is noncommital when compared with a vote. There is no reason NOT to vote out of lylo.Joubert wrote:By the way, LF, why should everyone vote absolutely?-

@modplease prod Corin again, this is getting annoying for me. He posts, disappears for 72 hours untill he gets a prod and posts again. BlckKnght needs a prod too I think.
@CFR - Which wagon is better, FS or KoC? Why?-

I will answer that once CFR actually decides to back up his posts with a vote.Knight of Cydonia wrote:Ha. Llama, way to jump the bait. How many times do you need to ask CFR who to vote for?
So if K7 is scum, then Corin is scum based on your WIFOM deductions of similar playstyles?I think Killa is scum. I'm also entertaining the idea that he and Corin are matching play-styles deliberately. As we have no pro-town power roles, the only reason for this would be a reverse WIFOM "Killa is lurking, so if I lurk as well, no-one will expect us to work together" as part of the Mafia. When Killa flips scum when lynched, I would seriously consider looking harder at Corin based on the way the both of them kept out of the way of the forbiddan lynch, whilst still pushing it along merrily.
Yeah 634 is me trying to figure out why CFR is not voting if he has only two suspects, given that both have been pushed just a little but not a lot I am wondering if he is just waiting for a wagon to pick up speed before he jumps on. This is closely related to my 627, it made my last question more specific.However, I'm also VERY interested in the constant Llama/CFR interplay - it looks like Llama is constantly asking CFR for guidance, see 634 for one good example, and there are other posts through-out the day where Llama seems to be sounding out CFR as to which of his blinkered little Mafia Entente he should push a case on at the moment.
I dont think FL is scum. I think that Mantio, Corin and you are more likely scum then K7. If I dont think the same way as you do or reach the same conclusions that does not mean I have to be scum. If someone provides something I view as a better suspect, I will change my vote accordingly.I'm also getting increasingly dismayed by the way both of them are seeking to blinker the town into a mislynch, by refusing to consider any case other than those they've decided to pursue - scummy, in my eyes, because any good town should be willing to be swayed.
Oh come on, I have more of a case laid out againt Corin in 392 then I have seen lined up againt K7. Corin has even been deliberately ignoring my case while pushing a player I think is town. If that doesnt read scum I really dont know what does.There have been far better cases against other players this day, yet they choose to pursue rather weak cases, or to pursue Corin for doing exactly what Killa 7 did - oh, but Killa isn't scummy. *rolls eyes*
We got a comedian here folks! I think that I was the first person to put a decent sized case against Corin, to vote Corin and to be persuing Corin. If anything my moves have been more novel then anyone elses so far. If you consider me asking questions to CFR buddying up, thats how I play when I cant really figure out what someone tends to be thinking. Its my misson in games to make people actually vote which allows easily traceable suspicions. See my post @Joubert for more information on this issueNote that as soon as CFR began to leave Manito alone and focus on Corin, and dissuading the FaerieLord wagon, Llama did too - and the pair of them went on to look at Corin. Now, as a new case based entirely on... me wording my previous post poorly, emerges, Llama instantly looks to CFR for guidance before considering making a move.
I find this again funny. Now you have dropped FL completely to make me-CFR-K7 the scum trio. This is mostly from what I can tell, the fact that we are not pushing the K7 case because we like other ones more. Also I like your level of confidence that lets you put "when" instead of "if" for K7. That is pretty sure to of been chasing FL the whole first part of the game.I don't like it. I'd be willing to bet that at least one, but likely both Llama and CFR are scum, and certainly K7 - with CFR and Llama's buddy-plays constantly diverting attention away from him, I get the feeling these two are trying to retain the numbers to make it easier to get the edge over the town late-game, but are finding it increasingly difficult to ignore Killa's scum-tells in open play.-

This is not the point I am trying to make. I think Corin is scum, I thought he was scum BEFORE he started lurking, so I am not saying "zomg lynch all lurkers". I am saying lynch Corin because evidence points at him being scum.SpyreX wrote:
This statement at first really bothers me, but I think I understand what he's saying "You're voting for lurker X, I'm voting for luker Y. If you vote for X and he's scum, I'd be willing to listen to lurker Y being scum (as, I feel, between the two lurkers X has shown more scummy behavior).Would you be willing to vote Killa, on the guarantee that if he flips scum, I will listen to whatever case you want to make against Corin, whose only crime I can see is lurking?
Honestly, at this point, I think both should not be lynched but, between the two, I think K7 has behaved scummier.
This entire comprimise is scummy because it is for one taking my case out of context, and second of all, it is requiring to have me place my vote where I am not happy putting it, when a return really isnt even a sure thing.
Him asking me this would accomplish the same as me asking him to vote for Corin before he trys to get K7 lynched. It makes no sense to even be thinking that this benifits town.-

Corin should be replaced pretty soon given how many 72 hour prods he has, third time usually is the charm. I dont think it is possible to get a reaction out of him if he refuses to pay attention or post.
Given that we seem to be taking steps towards a lynch I am going to try and put up a wagon I like more then FL and K7 into actions by going andunvote, vote Manito. KoC is still a very good lynch, he really is bouncing around today after being so sure-set on FL to start the day. I think he now wants a K7 lynch, and a Bogre one at a point.
My case when I placed in still looks strong even with what he has been doing. My 576 still hasnt even been answered, and Manito has again disappeared since he isnt being challenged. Lets see if some votes cause him to reappear-

Well while I do repect your hardship, you still do drop off the map it seems when not pressured to act. This also really doesnt answer my questions, just created a reason not to answer them for the time being. Given recent developments, it is apparent no one will listen to me and lynch Corin, KoC looks a little more townish, so that leaves you as my push for the day. Sorry if that pisses you off, but its true.Manito wrote:Sorry that I haven't had the time to read. Have a lot going on personally that I'd rather not get into here, but since I'm being attacked for not posting reads on the remaining players, I guess I'll have to.
I'm engaged, and currently going through some rough times with my fiancee. I think that is sufficient information to suffice it to say that I could give a fuckaroo about posting my remaining reads here when I have much more important stuff to deal with. If you want the reads, have some patience. Otherwise, back off, please.
I love you too snookums. You know what though? People seem to not be willing to take me 100% seriously in this game for some reason, im not sure if because I replaced but no one is listening to what I say. They just argue without giving me a "I agree" or "youre wrong". What does that leave me at? The ability to vote to get someones attention, its like firing a gun into the air to get people to look at you. Untill I voted KoC, he ignored everything I said against him. Untill I voted you, I never heard anything about my case. So you know what? If voting to pressure people is the only way people will listen to me, then guess what? I am going to pressure vote. Honestly though, what do I need to do to get you to respond to my case against you? I have presented it, voted you, unvoted you, asked you, had you proded, I mean seriously dude!Corin wrote:God I hate you, Llama.
Me, Manito, and KoC have all gotten votes from you based on the idiotic idea that it's all right to vote for someone to pressure them into responding to you.
I refuse to respond to that kind of bullshit.-

I kinda appreciate KoC's PBPA of K7, it made the big whirlwind of stuff a little easier to understand key points of. While there are some good points by KoC here such as post 8 and 14. There are irrelevant posts used as evidence (4-7) and some where K7 seemed to get misinterpreted like 12.Firestarter wrote:[
@Llamafluff...
Ive seen your case on Corin, and I agree with alot of it, but primarily at this moment, my focus is on K7...
Whats your overview of K7's behaviour?
Now my main fear of voting K7 is the intereactions with him and TSN. This read as lost townie to me, as he seemed to have zero idea what was going on. Scum tends to be more informed about what is happening at any given point in the game, its just something that comes up again and again for me.
Later in the day though he now looks scummier as he is taking an OMGUS stance towards KoC, who was not mentioned in his other posts. While I still hold KoC as a decent lynch, the fact that he ignored quite a few bickering posts inbetween us make me feel that im being played here. This is from the fact that when FL went after my suspect and my suspects voted her I defended, now K7 is doing and having something similar happen, his choice of KoC sits poorly with me and I get that bad vibe.
For what FS has been saying, im not sure if its just that I dont read your case style well enough, but I couldnt pinpoint a whole lot more then lurking. Maybe the ongoing struggle with armlx hurts my reading of your cases a bit but I dont understand them quite as clearly. Ironically I normally hate PBPA cases like KoC, so few posts makes it bareable in this case.
I still favor a Corin and Manito lynch to K7 hands down, and would hammer either of those two without second thoughts. KoC is a close one, and who votes where would be very dependant on a decision. To make it short, K7 is a good lynch, not a great lynch, but a good lynch.
My few things to K7 would be
1) Why arent you voting?
2) Can you produce a LoS?
3) What are your views on FL, FS and Manito, the other multivote wagons?-

Well Im not happy saying it, but I agree. K7 is picking up the lurker vote when its not just him lurking. We have K7/Corin (who should be getting the votes)/Bogre/Joubert who really havent added anything of substance to this game.killa seven wrote:speaking of lurkers..

This is right. We are debating people alignments given opinions on how people play the game when they have certain unkown alignments. WIFOM is for after a scum lynch, for today we just focus on lynching scum. The problem with taking a step beyond what happens when player X is scum is we start saying player Y is scum. From there we are trying to prove Y without haven prove X, the correct plan of actions is X-> Y -> Z not Y-> X-> Z.Knight of Cydonia wrote:Ugh. WIFOM, much? All I'll say is, I'm not going to look on that either way. It's just icky.

I think this is L-2. No one should hammer him before OP is caught up with his read. I also still think Corin and Manito should go, that last vote from Corin was really ugly looking, I think its the second time he has mentioned K7 the enitre game.-

I feel like im talking to a brick wall when I tell people to lynch mantio and corin over K7 but hey, will it hurt to try again?
Look people. I have never played a game with K7 before, yes I realize that he is not really being helpful as a whole, and he comes off as a newer/scummy player. The thing is, this read tends to be very volital in past game I have played in, these people always look scummy. SC* who replaced in seems to be another one of these unfortunate few who comes off as scum in most games, even when he is not scum.
My read on manito and corin** though are not on players that have the newb tell. They are both demonstrating scum tells that when you match them up across multiple games, they end up flipping scum instead of town. This is an observation, but go back in your games and compare the likelyhood of the annoying, lurker being scum to the chance of the fence sitter, the flipflopper, the follower. These players are much, much more likely to be scum. Period.
When you compare tells, we are chasing ghosts here. There are much better options then K7. Most people seem to like ignoring them though, which makes me think that either 1) I am right, or 2) People think im wrong. If its 2, freaking tell me people! I want to know why you dont think im right so I can actually work on proving to you that I am right!
~~~Both these games are finished (dodges mod lightning)~~~
* - StrangerCoug meta and response to 793. In mini 604 he replaced in and joined a very scummy wagon on wierd reasons. When the wagon shifted to him he threw a vote on a lurker for pressure which quickly made that wagon a lynch. Looking at a few other games its constant, this guy gets lynched a lot as town for doing scummy stuff.
** - Corin in mini 608 was cop and was much more active in discussion and helped out in sealing a few scum lynches. His rate of posting was also much more there then it is in here, and the content was much greater. This play is nothing like what I saw in that game when he was town.-

To me meta is something you can use to back up a case or a defense of a player, but not something to soley convict them upon. For example Corin playing differently is something againt him, but it shouldnt be enough to lynch him on by himself. Same with K7, his behavior isnt ideal, while meta is a point to his favor, it doesnt absolve him 100% from being scum.Joubert wrote:Meta OUGHT to be WIFOM, because each game is a separate entity...
That said again though, lets lynch Corin or manito, cmon people.-

Against standards of play on the site and game as a whole. If you look back at most games, scum fall into these types of tells that I mentioned above much more often then annoying lurker. You are displaying these tells, Corin is displaying these tells, KoC has been displaying some of these tells. While K7 isnt the most townie person here, I think lurking and annoyance is where more of his votes come from then proven tells. I am more then happy to join the wagon of whatever player out of the three aformentioned gets to the lynching stage fastest, although Corin and mantio are my prefereances. The mood of the town seems to be calling for the Corin lynch now though, so I am going toManito wrote:
Just what, exactly, are you matching me up against? I've participated in two games on this website, of which neither has completed, and this one here is the only one I am currently involved in, as I asked to be replaced in the other because of the time constraints/personal issues I mentioned earlier.

and ask the people who have been starting to call him scum (armlx, CFR I know have mentioned this) to help get behind this lynch. Its far overdue and looks much better then K7.-

Corin PBPA (To go along with case in 392) -my comments in italics
0 - random vote
1 - confused with random stage, sees no armix wagon
2 - says scum can be lynched D1
3 - unvotes with no reasoning
4 - doesnt like K7s vote of fl
5 - doesnt like fl actions
6 - says fl never had a plan, votes fl
7 - starts siding with fl that FS is twisting her words, brings up FS-fl scum pair, brings up town tunnel vision.
This post bugs me. I think it has to do with what Corin said in the beginning of it. That was "fl calls me pro-town". To scum, having a player think you are town is great, and you want them to stick around to help defend you. This feels like what Corin thought about in regards to fl. Up untill this point, he seemed to be wanting a fl lynch, but now he is starting to turn around. He opens doors to FS lynch, he opens doors to get off the fl lynch, and by calling tunnel vision trys to get people to look elsewhere.
8 - metas gimbo, FoS on FL for tunnel vision on fl (who he still is voting)
I dont like this FoS, it sets up a case on FL for if fl flips town. Also Corin is voting for fl, so why would he care if FL wants to get her lynched?
9 - agrees with manito and continues putting out reasoning for an FL vote
This is still sitting uneasy with me. It feels like at this point Corin is getting the 1.5 lynch all lined up. He has given up pressuring fl and has moved on to going for someone who is pressuring fl at the time.
10 - Comments on manito/FL debate while still voting fl. Asks fl and FS to weigh in on that debate.
11 - WIFOMs fl self-hammer debate. Questions K7s disapearance.
12 - Votes FL for wanting fl lynched to move the game along.
This feels like what he was setting up near the end of D1 with posts 8 and 9. During the end of D1 Corin spent more time putting pressure on FL for his stance on fl then he did pushing fl for actually being scummy. Now that fl flipped town, he jumps right in on FL. The main question though here is "Why did he pressure FL D1 for thinking his scum pick was scum?"
13 - Ignores my case and doesnt like me voting
14 - more posting promise
15 - Still ignores my case, pushes FL. Says the meta is pure WIFOM and should be ignored in this case.
16 - More ignoring me, more hating on meta
17 - More hating on me for trying to get a response to a case
18 - Argues how mafia vote
He has voted with a group this whole game, just how mafia are "supposed" to vote according to him
19 - Votes K7
I dont know why we havent lynched this guy at this point. During most of D1, who is he pushing? FL. During D1.5, who is he pushing? FL. What happens when wagons are changing? He abandons the lynch he has supported since seemingly midway through D1 to get on the wagon which is nearing a lynch. If this isnt scum looking for an easy lynch I dont know what it. I gurantee K7 getting lynched and flipping town will find Corin right back on the FL wagon tomorrow.
So yeah, any further questions on why Corin should be getting lynched instead of K7? He has been setting up a FL lynch forever which he recently abandoned in light of a easier wagon, he refuses to answer my cases against him, he dismisses most arguments that defend his suspects, he is obv scum.-

Nope, it makes you a little more suspicious to me but I watched your progression of changing votes and it makes sense. Corin went from full out pushing of FL to dropping that case and jumping on K7 out of nowhere. Its not the action alone, its the events surrounding and what led up to the action that play a major part in determining if its scum driven or not.SpyreX wrote:
I saw FL acting funny "forever" and although not forgotten, I have moved my vote to K7 because, although I feel FL is scum, there was no way to make that happen today and K7 HAS been scummy.So yeah, any further questions on why Corin should be getting lynched instead of K7?

I think these debates on "is meta reliable" will really not be too useful. Everyone has thier opinion and tends to stick by it on things like this, its just one of those things that is hard to conivce others of as you can refrence games that support and denounce meta being useful.
What we should be talking about is lynching Corin. That is a great topic for discussion, especially as after my PBPA a few people who expressed early intreset seem to not be wanting to give it a vote, and people who are looking into it have some reservations about this wagon.-

Well I see you as scum right now if that wasnt obvious by my posts so far in this game, if it hasnt been maybe I need to be clearer. The point is, my vote of you falls under your third line, I see you as scum and by avoiding my case, people seem to be disregarding your case and going to one I dont favor in comparison. So I am putting a pressure vote on you to get some answers and to get other people to pay attention as well.Corinthian wrote:Town doesn't vote someone they think is probably town just to get a reaction.
It's simply not rational to think that voting someone will gently indicate to them that you'd like a reasonable, well-thought out case now, please.
Players lay pressure votes on what they see as potential scum.
Not true. I can vote for quite a few people without getting OMGUSed, although some people seem to OMGUS regardless. If you are saying someone OMGUSing a case against them is a scum tell against the person pushing the case because they are fishing for an overreaction, then I dont know what to say. OMGUS = slight scum tell.This generally provokes an OMGUS reaction, which the pressurevoter then takes as confirmation of their hunch.
*facepalm* no no no. With this logic if I was scum, I would just need to lurk and whoever votes me gets lynched for trying to make me look bad. This sound pretty defensive to me, as you are turning the fact that I am attacking you as a point against me.The reason to lay a vote on someone "to make them speak up" is so that they'll say something you can use to attack them with.
I cant comment on this without losing it.Ninja, post 881 was a good way to get a reaction from me. Simple, direct, non-antagonistic questions.
Actually there is a wagon on you right now, and by my quick count, you are tied with K7 for the votelead (at last). The K7 vote seems very opportunistic though when compared to what you had been saying. There were a few mentions of you feeling uneasy about K7, although you never started pushing a case against him. FL was what you spent most of D1 and D1.5 setting up, and when it died out, you left that to move to K7. Now with what you just said, you have it set up to move back to FL if K7 gets lynched (or vice-versa) regardless of what happens with their flips. I am getting a feeling that we have Corin-scum and FL/K7 town here given how he is playing.regarding Faerie: yes, absolutely. I'm voting k7 because he's scummy, too. If they're both scum, then who cares what order we lynch them in?
regarding my play vs k7: this one will take longer to respond to. A big difference would be that despite Llama's best efforts, there is no wagon on me that I would need to hide from.
(Have to go to work now. Will almost surely have time tomorrow for more posting.)
I would like to hear from armlx on Corin, he was mentioning him earlier and now we have a bit of a forming wagon and he is sticking to FS debates. Also KoC, FL, CFR and Manito would be nice to hear from on this new wagon.-

I will state this one more time because some people dont seem to be getting it.
Meta is not my primary reason for voting Corin. If I had never seen him in a game before, I still would be voting for him.
While it is used asan additionto my case, it is not the primary reason I think he should be lynched. If anyone thinks I want him lynched on meta alone, they are way off.-

Does anyone else notice that Corin really has not defended himself against me at all? In this post he acknowlaged my attack, but never defended. Instead he tried to turn the tables on everyone that was agreeing with me about my conclusions, by going after them and calling their case weak.Corinthian wrote:Hey, Llama, maybe you should restate your case against me.
My point here: no one but Llama seems to have given any reasons for voting me other than-we want to see you talk.
Faerie is for a Corinthlynch for OMGUS reasons.
Firestarter, Ninja, strangercoug, why do you think I'm scum?
I would like to see a defense from Corin sometime, and also want to know who he suspects outside of FL and K7. He is just latching onto the main targets here and reitterating their cases. Why we keep letting him do this while brushing off my attack is starting to frustrate me.
Also to refrence the latest case against you Corin, that would be post 855.-

I really dont like this. First you want the town to drop its two top suspects because you dont agree with them. The way to get people to agree is to make a convincing enough case to get someone lynched, when I replaced in there were no votes on Corin, now he is a runner to get lynched. You have to realize that they have nine votes between them, which means over half the town wants one of them lynched.CF Riot wrote: Don't either/or the town. I think KoC and FS both look far scummier than either of these people. If you held me down and forced me to pick between those two I'd vote Corin, but as the majority of the town is either split between them or unconvinced of both, I say we drop them today and find someone more people like.
If I remember right, more than a few people said FS was suspicious but none of them had a vote on him. We're all frustrated about the current wagons being stuck in stasis and FS continues to look scummy to me, so why don't we try him on for size today and pick up on K7 and Corin tomorrow after we see what the mafia does?
Also, if that plan doesn't fly, if it comes down to a lurker vote I'm throwing one at Joubert.
This means there is no one else more people want to lynch first. You want FS and KoC lynched, which arent horrible picks. I was interested in KoC early but given his recent actions I want to see how the cases he pushes turns out, FS again doesnt look very town, but I hold Corin as a much better scum pick. You are supposed to convince me that they are scum more then my personal pick, and that hasnt happened. This does not mean that you should tell everyone to abandon their top choices, which is a poor move to even suggest.
By saying lynch FS today and use the NK to determine who to go after tomorrow just is stupid as well. This is pre-speculating to WIFOM before a kill even happens. If I get NKed does that mean Corin is scum getting rid of me or K7 is framing him? If armlx gets NKed does that mean that K7 is WIFOMing us by getting rid of a defender or Corin making the lynch easier? There are no answers to these situations so bringing them up before they even happens just is wrong.
I also dont like the subtle attack on Joubert, you obviously dont hold him as a high suspect so shouldnt be suggesting him for a lynch. This isnt the time to lynch al lurkers.
I still think Corin is the right move today, when I look at him and K7, he looks much worse. When meta is added its a no-brainer to me.-

You know what? Something like this might prove interesting. If everyone can list their top three suspects, just copy-paste where the list stands and add on your top three. That way we can see if something like this really is happening or not, as im not really convinced it is. If everyone has a player as high up though, its something worth persuing.CF Riot wrote:Also, if 5 people have K7 as their number one and think Corin is town, and 4 people have Corin as their number one and think K7 is town, but 9 people have FS as their number two, I would consider FS the better lynch. I don't know that this is the situation we have here, I'm just pointing out that a compromise is not as crazy of a suggestion as you make it out to be.
