Alright guys, sorry it's been a while. THings in meatworld haven't been fantastic, but I've finished reading through, and now I'm more or less caught up. Right now I don't have the time to do a gigantic 72 page analysis thing, But I see that I've come under some fire, so I'll try to answer your questions.


In regards to Shanba's accusations, first off, on page 70 alone, you proposed 3 wagons, and to my eyes, not exactly justified. But maybe that was just in passing. Whatever's good.
mneme wrote:stark also defended JDodge:
stark wrote:I'm here, man, no need to be prodded. I'm with UA and Zoneace. And although, correct me if I understand this wrong, Jdodge's vig powers are used up, his other power could be really useful, even if it doesn't confirm anything.
Let's lynch one of those three -- defending obvscum is always lynchable, particularly when (unlike Oman, who also defended Jdodge), you haven't shown a role ability.

unvote
vote: SSF352
Your scum-finding powers are probably stronger than mine, and therefore, when Jdodge's case was presented, I did not see "obvscum". That was my mistake.
I also think that during that whole day, there was a large block of time in which I did not pay attention. However, when I read back, I realized that the case that was made against Jdodge was far stronger than the one in favor of him being town. You guys convinced me. Would you have prefered that I remained adamant in my defense of him?

That's probably not the best defense, that much I know, but it's the truth. I would be happy to answer anything else though.

Also, I'm not exactly certain between the conflict of TSS and armlx?

I defintely need a reread of this...I'm getting lost.

From what I see, for now I am willing to accept that SirTornado isn't scum and was honest about his night actions.

Unsure of Thyroid, not sure what he is doing wiht the ticket situation still.

actually, no. Foolinc was replaced by tss, so I suggested two wagons. And yes, I'd be happy with either :)

Armlx, the to-avoid list is of the obvious town. The restriction is only nominally of
my
choosing.

I don't even know why I'm bothering to explain this to you, you're that patently scum.
I think it's pretty clear that TSS's awesomeness did alter the roles each of us recieved, and thus he's obviously pro-town. -- Save The Dragons

Wait, why is armlx scum? I don't remember him doing anything scummy, although I could be thinking of another game I was in with him.

How is armlx scum? Oh lordy me, let me count the ways.

-- He is not present on either of the lynching wagons for dead scum.
-- He is not on The List.
-- He has twice within recent memory completely rewritten my position on an issue.
-- He is attempting to portray as irrational my considering myself as town.
-- He has opposed, and is continuing to oppose, a plan that would have given the town two free votes guaranteed to not be guided by scum.
-- He and more so his predecessor in interest has displayed scummy-looking interactions with other scum suspects and exhibited positions known to be endorsed by scum.

No doubt I'm missing some, but that should do for now.

Mneme, I would rather Shanba frame Kaleidoscope as it seems safer. If Armlx is lynched and is scum, then there will be no harm in making the change, but if we lynch a town (especially if we lynch Armlx and I turn out wrong and he's town) I will have to insist on Kaleidoscope. After all, if we
do
end up with only The List alive and the game's not over, you will be one of the first who will have to justify your continued existence.

Unvote, vote: Armlx

Maybe it's my mistake, but it seems to me that you all are assigning Mystical Properties to "The List".

Also, TSS, I've been away for a while, what was the plan that you were talking about?

6 or so of the list are legitimately confirmed. However, the issue is there are people on the list TSS has given no reason as to why they are there and wants Fonz to just agree that they dont deserve to be voted.

schism 484's logic is faulty

JDodge 508 *groans*
Belgarion 512 bugs me equally
BM 515 = <3
schism 516, my God, reasoning please?
WILL PEOPLE START VOTING SERIOUSLY. WTF.
<3 Aimee 530
I approve of schism wagon.
Jdodge 562 um what? Nocmen looks to be practically confirmed town, due to possible vig kill; why vote?
schism 574? Confirm hypothetical vote.
NOCMEN WAGON IS DUMB.
FOS: JDODGE, FAERIELORD, KALEIDOSCOPE.

stark 596 is such a delightfully Communismtastic post.
schism 599 ugh.
These new wagons are unhelpful and illogical. Nocmen and Thyroid are not as scummy as foolinc and schism and JDodge and FaerieLord and Kaleido.
Thyroid 609 - LOL.
JDodge 628 is death
JDodge 629 we did no such thing.
JDodge 637 adds to the falseness.
Hypothetical Unvote Vote JDodge

FaerieLord 639 falseness.
JDodge 641 MY GOD.
ZONEACE 652 annoys me
Belgarion 664 is persuading me to move my hypothetical vote back.
Page 28 is generally agreeable and disagreeable. [/vague]
schism 710 - there's a difference between casting suspicion and OMGUS voting

leaving off on pg 30.

I made a very big mistake with my role pm. I checked with the mod: my tickets aren't cumulative as I thought they were. Apparently the text that suggested that to me was just flavor.
PBuG wrote:Thyroid, I posted my notes from the first 10 pages, and you were being scummy as hell. I'm guessing something significant happens that I haven't read yet.
1. I used to also post my initial notes when I read a game. Then I realized my notes were poorly done, because they were
notes
. Mafia requires more thought.

2. You seem to be one of those players who believe unexplained votes are a "scumtell." "Scumtells" are particularly dreadful inventions which don't explain why an action is scummy, only identify it as an action commonly used as scum. It's a subtle difference, but there are at least three mafia discussion threads addressing the issue. Essentially, scumtells have become meaningless because no one bothers to discuss the reasons behind them.

Even if the above isn't the case, specifically to this game:

Describe to me why "voting without reasoning" is scummy in this situation? Do you believe all information should be disclosed in a mafia game?

"he claims good posts are bad". So a difference of opinion justifies me being "scummy as hell?"

Why do you think the hostility has no reasoning behind it?

Why would the "tickets be strange"? Isn't it obvious it would be role related?

What exactly makes 609 "LOL" worthy?

3. Your notes seriously sound like you checked the game briefly before making them. If so, why would you want to corrupt your initial reactions?

The implications of that obviously means my ability didn't go off last night (which is why the mod didn't confirm it.) :/

1. Um, are you trying to lecture me on how to play Mafia? *points to Joined Date* Homey don't play that.

2. I believe that not providing reasoning means that it either a) is a random vote, b) doesn't actually have reasoning, or c) is hiding something. There is no reason for someone to withhold reasoning if it is in the best interest of the town to lynch that person. It's not necessarily a scumtell, it's just not helpful to the town.

You were dismissing posts by saying that they were bad posting. This is not protown.

I don't understand why there would be a good reason for hostility.

Yes, it is. I think it is a strange role to have, and I don't understand it yet.

1) Even knowing that Thyroid is Simenon does not convince me to buy a ticket (which I still refuse to do).

2) Waiting for PBug to finish before commenting on his notes.

3) TSS, you've been playing long enough to know that just because some player posts a list of people they "think" are town in no way means that all, or even some, of the people on the list are in fact town. It's fine that you want people to know that you don't believe that group of people to be scum, but it doesn't change the fact that any of them may be, and it certainly doesn't give you or anyone on that list the right to control Fonz's votes. It is his role, therefore it is his decision when, how, where and why to place his votes. (
BTW, FONZ, I BELIEVE I QFTed YOU EARLIER, IF I DIDN'T I AM WILLING TO DO SO, JUST POST SOMETHING QFT WORTHY
) Attempting to guide those votes imo is scummy (just about one of the only scum tells I'm willing to follow) and if he ends up being scum, his voting record will reflect it, in which case we will lynch him. Attempting to leash him in actually prevents us from being able to determine his alignment accurately and gives him a shield to hide behind if he is the instrument of a bad lynching streak.

4) Since I don't believe I've done so in a while... a list of people whom I believe to be town.
Myself (my death and method of resurrection seem proof enough, but I understand the doubt that some people have, just don't get all paranoid about zombie cults, and if you do, look for the cult leader not the members).

Jediknight (because he rezzed me and mainly just a it makes more sense for him to be town)

Sir T (ability and it also makes sense for him to be town imo)

Nocmen (not 100% on but it also makes sense for him to be town to me for some reason)

Belg/CKD (also not 100% on, but if one dies we know the alignment of the other (barring death miller nonsense, but that would be pretty far fetched))

Fonz (relatively certain of alignment, although there is a small chance of a mafia multivoter)


Neutralz
Armlx, Stark, mneme, PBug and Shanba. (On shanba, I'm only neutral because I can see the role as being either good or bad, but I'm not really looking at him as scum right now)


Everyone else I either have no opinion on, or believe in some way to be scum.




Finally
TSS wrote: -- He is not present on either of the lynching wagons for dead scum.

-- Not irrational but incorrect. While you have reason to believe yourself town (or so you would like us to think) we have no reason to believe you're town. If you go creating lists of "cleared" players and include yourself with only your word proving you're town, it is very very scummy.
-- Incorrect, he is opposing a plan to control a probably protown power role that would also greatly inhibit our ability to determine if the controller of the power role is protown or not in the first place.
-- Examples?


You have one valid point and two possibly valid points, but your list is filled in with three garbage points that I would expect from scum trying to strawman someone who is town.
