This doesn't look to me like I want to abandon the plan. It looks like I want to stay with it but not be beholden to it.

I really dislike the way you're presenting your plan as the only way for the town to play this game. You shout down anyone questioning it, and do the same when people have different ideas about how to play the game. I'll get to that later. Oh, and nice pre-fishing at the end there.

I understand where you're coming from, but disagree.
it really helps the scum if they know who everyone else thinks is pro-town, especially in this game, especially if someone says one of the scum.
He's trying to get people to be okay with saying who they think is a townie. BAD IDEA!
Once again, I disagree. In a game this small and with only two power roles scum aren't gonna be going for the 'most townie' players. In fact like the majority of games of mafia in a game like this I'd expect scum to be trying to off power roles. Plus I'm fairly sure that by listing the people we find scummy, the scum can work out who we think is townie by a simple process of elimination. No what I think you're opposed to is the idea that if we all have an idea of who the town thinks is pro-town then that really narrows the people you can try and force a mis-lynch on.

He votes for killa7 and then unvotes shortly after on 177 after alabaska says a lurker lynch is bad. Killa wasn't close to a lynch. Sure he was at L-1, but does anybody here think killa was going to be hammered anytime soon?

Seriously, this is over-careful. He also makes a PBPA on killa which is totally unnecessary.
L-1 is close to the hammer when you're not sure if the scum are already on a wagon. I
really
don't like how you treat L-1 as a safe spot for any player to be at up until it's jon that's in danger of the hammer. The PBPA on killa was at the request of killa. It helps if you don't just read my posts in isolation as that makes your case make no sense.

then there’s infamous post 302

Let’s look at every single scummy thing crammed into this one post.
CallMeLiam wrote: OK. I think k7 is acting pretty unhelpfully, but not in a very scummy way.
I think BaB has been helpful and logical enough to put me off him as scum. That leaves TDC who I've agreed with every word from and TSPN who I have no real read on, even at this point although I did like his scummy\anti-town differences post. This leaves jonathanathanatan. I'm not gonna vote yet but the case is the best I think we have and I'd like a claim now please.
What’s with all the 180s? He’s voting for me despite saying I’m not scum. He then recently says he’s certain I’m scum. These complete contradictions are the act of a scum caught in trouble.
So I voted you immediately after saying you weren't scum, or did things occur between those times?
BridgesAndBaloons wrote: He then only is ready to lynch jonathan by process of elimination? What!? That’s not pro-town at all? What about me saying that I wasn’t ready for a lynch the
page before this one!


Again, he’s confidant in attacking Jonathan because Jonny is at L-1. More opportune behavior. (similar like his vote on killa).
Saying you're not ready for a lynch and then leaving your vote on a player at L-1 are pretty incompatible actions. The fact that you STILL didn't remove it when I said I'd be happy hammering until your hypocrisy was pointed out does not bode well for your alignment.
BridgesAndBaloons wrote: Then he ASKS FOR A CLAIM!!!
WHY WHY WHY WHY!
There is absolutely no pro-town reason for that. Especially for the cop. The only thing that can happen from a premature claim is going to narrow down the possibilities of Nks for scum, or force a counterclaim (therefore making CML the NK, or his bodyguard the NK). The cop loses the most from a premature claim. This is not compatible with his cop claiming.
Players at L-1 are typically asked to claim. Would you rather I just hammer?
Indeed weren't you the one who said it might actually help the town to get a claim in today? Claiming recuces the chances of a mislynch and as I've said before that's a far bigger danger than confirming townies. Indeed, having confirmed or semi-confirmed players in an end-game is a nightmare for scum.
BridgesAndBaloons wrote: 6)
The way he breadcrumbed is really scummy and not how A cop would do it.

After I saw this post I thought CML was a townie trying to draw the NK, but then I realized that he actually breadcrumbed cop. I think CML is scum and his slips were fabricated and not the breadcrumbing the cop should do.
So you've seen a player crumbing cop and think that the best thing to do is to announce it to the whole thread, denounce them as scum and then throw up a ramshackle case against them? Reeeaaaly pro-town there BaB.
"Not how a cop would do it" is so blatantly untrue I shouldn't even need to get into it. Your refusal to accept other people's game theory and desire to adhere rigidly to your plan is scummy as hell. You're trying to guide the town and it reeks of scumminess. Your case against me is simply 'he doesn't play like I would' and your own actions have been hyopcritical and shady. Like my vote on you very much.

I think you're missing the point on the crumb. What you've done is putting it in a post in a way where it is blatantly obvious if anyone ever decides to quote the post, whereas a good breadcrumb would be much more subtle.

Did you ever consider that scum might quote your post?
Why would a cop not consider such a risky breadcrumb a bad idea?

It was deliberately an obvious crumb, as was the 'slip' in posts 96 and 97.
The thing is, you're talking like the scum are the only people looking for the cop. It's in the Bodyguard's best interests to find the cop and protect him too.
In a game this small, keeping the cop protected to get even a single investigation could be game breaking if we go into a second day with only three townies. Keeping the cop alive should be priority number one.

That, quite frankly, is bullshit:
You could have achieved the same thing by
openly
claiming cop. The only thing making this through a breadcrumb achieves is risking that
only
the scum notice it. (The have four eyes after all, not just two like the bodyguard).

Why not? If all you wanted to achieve is a bodyguard protection, then openly claiming seems to be much safer than dropping obv-crumbs and hoping the bodyguard really picks them up.

My main aim was getting the scum's attention, rather than that of the BG. Getting both would be fine but my main aim was keeping the cop alive through at least one night.
I'd hoped that the scum wouldn't have been ballsy enough to out my crumbs in the thread and instead just NK'd me before any investigations could be made. Frankly the idea that they'd try and lynch a player hinting that strongly at being the cop was off my radar.

I've seen this done, and done it myself in games as scum.

One character looks (or tries to look) very town, another borderline. The townie one at one point will try to bus his buddy hard. If it goes through, he gets more townie points. If he doesn't, he will eventually give up and go to another player. His buddy will agree with him (though hopefully not as obvious as in this case) and that player will get lynched.

This has happened in this game with BaB as the "townie" scum and jonathan84 as the "borderline" scum.

Someone please hammer jonathan.

TSPN: I've been crumbing to throw a little WIFOM for the scum. I hadn't planned on being outed day one, but rather D2 if I lasted the night. I certainly never planned on claiming cop, that's for sure.
Let's see what my crumbing achieved then...

okay

I believe the best way for the claims to go tomorrow is for each person to simply claim their role and then we discuss. I have reasons for saying this, but if you guys don't want to, I guess we won't do it that way.

I think I understand what happended. There's a shit load of abreviations I need to do right now.
