I dont think you are really thinking about this logically. Perhaps its just that, from your viewpoint, double-negatives don't exist. But, speaking personally, when i read what OGML ACTUALLY SAID, my first thought was that he was saying that he had seen Farside go somewhere, and didnt want to claim where.
The fact is, OGML claimed in such a way that he could not possibly be wrong. That you can't see that is really staggering... 0.o
We're looking at two different parts of it. I've heard lots of people say didn't go nowhere, actually. But, yes, that is a valid concern.
However, as far as I can tell you're saying this is the scenario that played out that makes OGML scum:
1.) Day 1, very early on, he busses his recruiter scumbuddy out of the gate, resulting in a lynch.
2.) Day 2, in response to Rogue (who REALLY looked like scum) claiming he tracked someone to farside he counterclaims tracker and uses ambiguous language to make it readable either way.
Now, my problems with this scenario: (ohh WIFOM, how awesome you are)
1.) I still can not see how bussing, that early and that actively, your recruiter in this game is a good idea. Even with 2 mafia (which is what I believe), and now knowing the role structure they had, all the mafia had to do really was lay low for 2-3 days and they would have won, hands down. Hell, I think there is a scenario where they could have won night 2 (I'd have to play it out, but I think its possible).
I believe we've already discussed this, but hell- its nearly the end of the day, so lets go over it again!
What you are failing to take into account is that we arent talking about ANY old buddy here. We are talking about Xyzzy- who, when OGML showed up, was tying himself up in knots, and attracting alot of attention. Now, look at it from OGML-scum's perspective. What is the optimum play if, in the random voting stage, your mafia leader (in this case, recruiter) is making an ass of himself, and could quite possibly be lynched on Day 1?
Answer: bus immediately. At the very least, you want to be seen as being part of the wagon, in case he gets quicklynched. Actively pushing hard is optional at that stage, and sure enough, OGML first joins the wagon fairly quietly. But, when it becomes clear that Xyzzy isnt going to make it, OGML pushes alot harder. It's textbook stuff really, and you certainly can't fault him on it. It's not like he had a choice about bussing his buddy.

2.) No role-discussion had happened that day 2 yet. Rogue did feel scummy from day 1. WHY would you cc tracker when there are so many other roles you could use to say why you were tracked to farside ASSUMING that you were the one tracked. Instead, I see that whole thing as OGML instantly calling bullshit because he believed Rogue was fake claiming tracker.
Actually, claiming Tracker isnt that surprising in such a scenario. He had been caught with his hand in the till, and he panicked. There are of course, other roles he could have claimed, but claiming Tracker was clearly as effective as anything. Certainly, OGML was believed, and he outlived the actual Tracker. What i dont understand is why the hell he wasnt killed after that... Heck, i bet he doesnt know that either!

So, to me, OGML telling the truth makes a lot more sense than him being both a bad mafia on day 1 and a lucky / poor decision making mafia on day 2. I've said, since then, if he's scum my jaw would drop and I still believe that.
Dude, theres absolutely nothing bad about his play day 1. He did what anyone in his unfortunate position would have done. It's totally understandable. What it is NOT, is inherently protown. In fact, i cant really explain his behaviour concerning Xyzzy if he was town.

And yet you encouraged Jenter to shoot MuffinHead, who he had shown no real emnity towards. Why?
Hmm, maybe because you said more than once you wanted to shoot me?
Thats nice, but doesnt really make sense. In any other game, you'd be laughed out of the thread for offering yourself up for lynch, on grounds that, it is what the Vig wanted. Simply put, if you are going to direct the Vigs, id expect reasoning a little more substantial than 'well you found him scummy, so you kill him, and you don't get on with him, so you can kill him'...

You said you thought I was scum, so
I was letting you shoot me

BUT WHY!? o.O
Why would you do that as town?? I just don't get it!
I cant see any real logic for such a request- other than the ulterior motive of setting me up for a fall (since Jenter was already more confirmed than me, and far less likely to be lynched).

Also, if there was gaping holes in this idea, is the whole town scummy? I think most people thought it was a good one because it WAS a good one - even this scenario should result in a town win.
Lol, im not arguing over whether the plan was a good one. Im questionning your motives for creating it as you did.
Spyrex wrote:
What? You mean you wish you hadnt claimed vanilla? What would you have claimed if you could go back and try again? How would 'keeping your mouth shut' help in a mass claim?
This plan was MY idea. I thought it had the best chance of clearing the most people. Why would I have brought it up if I was scum? Why not just let the town do whatever (as long as it wasn't getting ME killed). No, instead I made a plan that should have killed me and if it didn't would have put me in the spotlight some. Thats not really smart if I'm scum.
Except of course, for 2 things, which have already been brought up:
1. You are Mafia RB.
2. You are NK Immune Mafia.
In both of these scenarios, your motive is obvious. By setting up the plan the way you did, you ensured that you would get the easiest mislynch possible against a power roles claimant. It was your only shot at winning, after claiming vanilla. It's VERY smart if you are scum.

I dont see why you are that worried about being hung last, if you genuinely believe i am the last scumbag? I, on the other hand, think there is a strong case for OGML to be scum- and not necessarily with you either.
You're right. Honestly, as long as the town hangs you, I dont care if its me first. If the town decides to vote my way I'll hammer myself - as long as you realize that you will be tomorrow. Just like how if I'm wrong with you.
Frankly, i'll be very surprised if i survive today. The way the game has turned out, i OUGHT to be lynched on the grounds that i did fail to deliver. The thing is, when i give it some thought, i feel that me being lynched is infuriatingly stupid. I mean, COME ON! Why would i fakeclaim VIG, if i wasnt intending to kill someone at some point? Surely i couldve just orchestrated the claim with roles i could deliver on- instead of ones which would eventually confirm me one way or the other?
It just doesnt fit...
My thought atm, is that we could have 2 scum left. I think we can be sure beyond reasonable doubt that you are one. But im CONVINCED OGML is scum aswell. So, my plan is, we lynch you today. If you come up scum but the game goes on, we lynch OGML tomorrow. If you come up town, i'll hopefully be able to confirm myself tonight, and we can lynch the final scumbag tomorrow.

Maybe because, the more i think about it, the more i realise that there is no real case for me being scum.
No case?
1.) The only scenario(s) in which you are not scum are I am a immune NK scum OR I or OGML roleblocked you.
yup. Not especially hard to believe in a game with a mafia Recruiter, 2 1 shot Vigs, and a JoaT.
2.) We've already got a pair of vigilantes. You're claiming a 3rd vigilante role (even if 1 shot) in a small game that had a mafia recruiter.
How does the presence of a mafia recruiter (a powerful anti-town role) suggest the lack of protown power roles?
3.) OGML, your major suspect, is built on -so far- one piece of evidence that is very fragile at best.
GG reading comprehension. I hate bs...
4.) Yesterday, from a look, it really seems as though you were the only one really against this plan and NEVER made solid reasons for it.
I was against the death of MuffinHead. Who was, surprise surprise, town.
I'm sorry, i must've missed the newsflash where getting townies killed was a massive town tell.
5.) You wanted to track and not kill OGML even though you're so sure he's scum - because, of course, if you had killed him it wouldn't have been a vig kill AND it would have been the only mafia kill. Tracking isn't hard to do, especially when the town lays out what every power role is doing.
Actually, thats wrong too. I was quite happy to kill OGML, but i thought Tracking would confirm me. Had i tracked last night, we'd know if there was a mafia RB or not, and i wouldnt be up for lynch today. Maybe if you thought laying out what power roles should be doing is so unhelpful, you shouldnt have tried to do it? Hypocrite.
6.) Personally, you posting first saying "where's my kill" and then telling the mod to be sure to check his PM's also bothers me (this is 5 because it matters the least).
Wait...why?
So, really, if the town wants they sure can hang me first. When I come up vanilla, I sure hope to God they dont even listen to the backpedaling that will have to happen.
BM isn't a roleblocker, but he sure is scum. What type doesn't matter one bit because ANY type would have been able to do exactly what happened last night.
*sigh* Except they wouldnt, because if i was scum, I WOULDNT HAVE CLAIMED A PROVABLE ROLE.
You are claiming vanilla. You should die today, and OGML and I can try to disconfirm each other tonight.
Confirm Vote: Spyrex
