Notice that MafiaSSK cannot vote or be voted for....strange....

I'm looking into OoT lore right now.....
Hrm. Banished is an odd word. Almost any other word, and I would think that MafiaSSK is Link. But he wasn't exactly banished when he got the Master Sword....just frozen. Ganondorf was trapped there at the end of the game. BUT, that is in the future, not the past. Rauru was also there, I think. But he's a sage, so I don't think "banished" is the right word for his stay there either.

I think I'm looking too hard into this. :|

That confirms it. MafiaSSK really can't be vote or be voted for. What does everyone think about this? Maybe it is his role? Maybe someone did this to him?

Eh, Ganon is described as the true manifestation of Ganondorf's heart, so I don't think so. He might be Link, but I'm not sure. :/

Like I said, Ganondorf was banished at the end of the game (what the Sages did to him), and Link was locked in the realm when he first got the Master Sword. MafiaSSK might not be there as a result of his character, but as the result of someone else. I'm not completely sure. :|

To me it seems that SilverPhoenix (SP) is rolefishing. First, he is looking which character SSK can be. But also, he is asking about roles (see post 23).
Also for what do we have to wait (post 40)? I don't understand what you're trying to say there.
FoS SilverPhoenix
Considering that SSK can't obviously talk, how is that rolefishing? It isn't rolefishing if the guy can't speak for himself, but it is speculation (much different than fishing). If he didn't like what I was saying, he would have voted me (as it does look like he can vote, just not be voted for). Post 23 was in reference to SSK, not anyone else, and Post 40 was me dropping the issue, as I realized we won't know anything until MafiaSSK
can
speak.

Zazier wrote:Why do you want him to talk? Asking which character he is? If it was his role ability? If he perhaps knows who did this to him if it wasn't him?
Because he can't talk, why would anyone know exactly what is role is? At this point, nobody that is able to talk can tell me
exactly
his role (scum can tell whether they are mafia or not, however), so what I am doing
is not rolefishing, merely speculation
. At the time, it was only conversation going on, so I speculated over his role, coming to the conclusion that we
can't
determine it without him talking.
That is very different than actually
wanting
him to talk about his role.
I could care less if he wanted to tell me his role, as I never asked him directly to state his role when he could speak. The only people at this time that could have offered me information about his role are scum, so I don't see how speculating now would have been a bad thing
in this case.
In other cases of speculation, it is correct to assume suspicion as it doesn't help the town giving the scum a scapegoat etc (what iLord said in Post 50).

ZazieR wrote:Why is it useful for town, to look into SSK's banishment? ...
I asked the question again what do you want to know from SSK
Because I was curious? I don't know, the game was going slowly, as both CC09 and I said. malthusis in Post 13 pointed out SSK, and since there was barely any discussion at that point, I did what I could, speculating that SSK could be a couple of roles due to the OoT lore.
I'm getting the feeling that you want to know his role.
I wrote:...That is very different than actually wanting him to talk about his role.

That is your answer. What do I want to know about SSK? Nothing now, as I deemed it futile as he can't talk. As I have said three times.

Did you get what I said before? The only people that can drop hints at
this very moment in this game
only are scum. If anyone did accidentally drop a hint, they would be scum. Otherwise, I would agree that speculating about the game is a bad idea is both gives the scum ideas and possibly can confuse the town. Except possibly in a open/semi-open setup, of course. :D Nevertheless, just using "Speculating is scummy" as an argument without a game-by-game analysis is as bad as saying "his meta makes his current playing scummy" without a game-by-game analysis.

I feel like we keep repeating the same stuff back and forth. :x

Why did you FoS me for rolefishing, while others are doing the same?

That is where the contradiction comes from. What I was doing before is the same as what you were doing just now. The point is I don't find it scummy, but you did, yet you used it anyway. Scum generally are the ones to contradict their own strategies in a game. A

iLord wrote:I don't really like SilverPhoenix trying to use this "contradiction" as evidence to back his nomcommital stand on this possible wagon.
I'm noncommital because there is barely anything there, just like the accusations based on my speculation barely have a base. There is absolutely no reason for me to "commit" a vote on a bare case, especially at this early point in the game. It is a slight suspicion, (hence the FoS), and not much more, possibly a part of a case later on, but not enough for a vote right now.
Unvote
because it looks like we are actually putting value into votes now.

And I wouldn't say ZazieR is a possible wagon by any means. Only one vote? Seriously... :roll:

Let's take a look at your post:
SP wrote:That is where the contradiction comes from. What I was doing before is the same as what you were doing just now. The point is I don't find it scummy, but you did, yet you used it anyway. Scum generally are the ones to contradict their own strategies in a game. A FoS: ZazieR for now.
First of all, you attempt to use Zas's action to defende yourself without fullying understanding or stating why Zas's action is scummy - it's different from the one you imply by stating the "contradiction."

"A FOS: ZasieR for now"

"For now" - ready to spring on if a wagon develops.

Alternatively, you can also spring off if this wagon fails, demonstrating how noncommittal your attack is.
First, I never said I
wasn't
noncommittal. You definitely missed the point I made in the post you quoted.
Second, I don't particularly find what he was asking of SSK really scummy, but I find the contradiction that he makes with his past position sort of scummy. It's the kind of tell that you incorporate into a larger case down the road to see if he repeats his flip-floppiness or if he does other scummy things, but certainly not the kind of tell that I would vote for.

So yes, I am being noncommittal, because there isn't much substance in the case. You could argue that cases this early don't need much substance, but they are all still diving boards for the larger cases down the road that catch scum. This diving board is just a little small for me.

I still don't see it. The only connection I see is that malthusis saying he can double-vote reveals his role (obviously). That could make his character loud...still dunno. :P

Wrong. It's simple, really, I have an ability called Proxy that I must call out in-thread.

You can't want a lynch close to deadline AND suspect people for actually lynching them. And don't say all I had to do was unvote Pesco, as it would have been the same as voting for Coheed (he would have gotten lynched at deadline).
I wouldn't have voted Coheed if weren't for the deadline. I don't know why you think it is scummy for someone to do what you, as a townie, suggest

But its useless to speculate about that until we get a more solid indication of what exactly the mask said about me. Is it that I feel guilty (or have a strong feeling of guilt, which wouldn't necessarily indicate someone being scum) or that I was thinking, "oh hey, I'm scum"


On a more relevant note, I retract my day one suspicions of iLord. I'm fairly certain that was just an overreaction to perceived combativeness on my part.
I like that defense, except for what you find the "most relevant". How is that relevant? Someone accuses you of being scum and you distance yourself from a previous argument you made? That isn't the best thing to do if you were town at all. Makes me believe more that you are scum.

Which probably means that MafiaSSK isn't playing this game at all. XD

Attacks him...
My "attack" wasn't really one: it was a question that he never got to answer fully.
SP is so hesitant to call him scum that I noted it even in my brief scanning yesterday. Looks like a hesitant bus, in my view
You are drawing up your entire case on my hesitancy? The hesitancy that has been with me the entire game? The hesitancy that was there for both the
town
lynch on D1 and the
scum
lynch on D2? That proves that my hesitancy has
nothing
to do with the alignment of suspects. Townies are far from infallible, as we witnessed on D1, so I never completely trust my instincts at any one moment in the game, nor do I ever completely trust any townie (confirmed, claimed, or assumed) for that matter.
You have a sure-fire way of playing: you settle on a target you think is scum and rain down arguments until he's lynched. While I find that an admirable trait for a townie, townies that think they are absolutely right for any period of time in a game are the ones that hurt the town the most, as their view tunnels and they ignore potentially better targets, often until it is too late. Your instincts about ZONEFACE and Coheed are only right if you know the information ahead of time, and are not vindicated by their cardflip if you didn't know the info ahead of time.

iLord wrote:Hesitancy vs. your prodding of him at the same time - weak scum busses most often consist of "he looks scum here, and he did this scummy, so we should probably lynch him." Especially with the hesitancy in your playstyle - it matchs the picture perfectly.
Now why do scum bus? One of two reasons. The first, and most often, is that the two are tied together so much that if one flipped scum, the other would too. The second, and much weaker, is to appear more town by advocating the lynch of a known scum.
Not to sound vain, but I'm not that stupid as to make myself appear "more town". I have nothing to prove to the town, I am innocent until proven guilty by mod or otherwise.
Also, I wasn't sold at all on the ZONEFACE lynch, as quoted below.
I wrote: But what's up with this quick (and possibly mis-) lynching? Guys, seriously be more careful, especially now that we absolutely know that we have a double-voter. What a freaking disaster.
Although parts of his play were scummy, I wasn't sold. If I was, I would have gladly voted for him. I don't see the problem with that. I have hesitant this game because frankly I haven't seen a whole lot of meaty stuff to dig into. I guess a reread is in order, but hesitancy is never a sure scum tell.

iLord wrote:it's the awkward combanation of trying to attack and get ready to jump off if the wagon doesn't look like it's going to succeed.
It's not a question of whether I think the wagon will succeed, but rather a question if I think they are scummy enough. In both cases, I didn't think so, even though there were parts about both players that I found scummy. I have controlled my vote somewhat tightly in this game; I am not voting and unvoting like crazy, which is really the true sign of attack hesitancy. I've have had mixed feelings about people in this game so far, and I don't see myself really attacking people (I haven't really made a strong case on anyone yet) or jumping on wagons (only voted Coheed after voting himself, didn't vote for ZONEFACE).
iLord wrote:I don't get what you are saying - are you saying that you will never bus?
I more or less meant that I feel I don't have to prove myself to the town for being town. I guess it is more WIFOM than anything, as if I were scum, would I want to distance myself from a partner that is getting lynched or just keep my mouth shut about him? Considering my playstyle, I would prefer the second choice, as it offers the least information. But that doesn't really matter: what matters is that calling my play a bus is pretty much WIFOM.

Well, doesn't that mean that ZONEFACE have to be a cop? He flipped tracker, but I somewhat doubt that he would be an insane tracker.

What are you talking about? This is why I have been hesitant this entire game: moves like this that confuse the hell out of me.
iLord wrote: You didn't think a guilt investigation was scummy enough? What do you need, then?
Well, considering that we have been considering this sanity issue for going on three pages, isn't that enough skepticism about Pesco's role? Like I said, I found them somewhat scummy but not completely enough. In light of ZazieR's vote above, it goes to show that there are way too many people in this game that throw around their votes lightly based on little suspicion. I don't see what is scummy about wanting more to go on.
iLord wrote: You're not reducing my point to WIFOM - that can be used on almost all scum behavior ("If he knew this was scummy, then why would he do it?")
Okay, so you ask for me what I meant, and when I tell you, you tell me that's not what I meant. I call that entrapment. It's low, it's false, and it's scummy.

But in twilight, you didn't even mention the possilbility of sanity issues. You were way too sure of ZONEACE's alignment,
when he claimed town when he shouldn't have any reason to lie.


I'm trying to figure out why you were willing to trust that your role was sane over a player who claimed town in twilight.
Why are you railing against Pesco for trusting his sanity on his role while railing against me for not voting on a guilty investigation? Contradiction, contradiction...

iLord wrote:6. He does not have any reason to lie - his alignment's about to be revealed and he's already lynched - it's twilight.
He was angry about the whole thing, so he went kicking and screaming with personal attacks and whatnot. That is about the best reason to lie as I can see. Not everything in a game turns out the way you expect. That is why you cannot rely complete on "standard" tells in order to find scum. Games have unexpected events, period. I think simply that ZONEFACE implying that he was town after his lynch was one of those. The entire argument is fallacious under No True Scotsman.
Pesco47 wrote:Scum can not perform their kill until it's Future Phase
That's a bad assumption. It is a better assumption that this is a power role heavy game (evident by the Mafia watcher to see what roles the town might have), in which there could be roleblockers, doctors, NK-immunities, etc. Many reasons for a kill-less night.
Pesco47 wrote:I've put ZONACE's final actions into perspective and concluded that he was probably most angry at his buddies bussing him too quickly. The main suspects being Malt (putting at L-1) and iLord (the hammer). Working to discredit the cop at any way possible is their best means of getting rid of me while they have no means to change the phase in their favour.
It's an interesting theory, even though he was the most mad at you. A scum tell that comes to mind is scum blaming others for bussing when he was really the busser (iLord in this case). But again, a pretty big assumption.
iLord wrote:Yes, it is. I want to know when you are online and avoid my questions.
What's the difference between him responding to your arguments 10 minutes or 10 hours after you make them? It sounds like you want him to slip up by getting angry and wanting him to respond quickly.

Overall, way too many assumptions (some more incorrect than others) for my liking. Bad assumptions = bad arguments.

ZazieR wrote:Also, which posts have you read between posts 349 and 390?
All of them...? I have read everything, I don't know what you mean by "I'm ignoring the mod posts."
ZazieR wrote:Also SP, what I meant is easy to explain. You have read ZONEACE's posts, but you didn't read Tar's post. That gives me the impression that you already knew he would flip scum. If you still don't know what I'm talking about, see posts 1 or 328.
Still confused about what you are talking about. I never said right out that ZONEFACE was scum, I never voted for him. I never gave indication that I possibly knew ZONEFACE was scum. Give proof that I did and I'll address it, but just saying I did doesn't make any sense to me.
And I did read Tar's post. I'm completely baffled at your seemingly no-reason, no-proof vote.

He flipped tracker
, but I somewhat doubt that he would be an insane tracker.
The only roles were a mod would consider sanity would be investigative roles. Since ZONEFACE obviously wasn't a cop (which I though iLord was suggesting), I was expressing my doubts that he was an insane tracker (which is what the mod said he was), especially since we are likely in a role-heavy game in which the mafia would benefit greatly from a tracker.

Although I said tracker, watcher/tracker are pretty much the same role. They find what people do during the night.

Am I correct in assuming that SP knew that ZONEACE was a tracker before the mod fixed his mistake?

Unvote, vote: SilverPhoenix
I really don't see the difference between a watcher and tracker: I use them interchangeably. I know there are technical differences, but I don't find them different enough to be scummy for saying one and not the other. It simply isn't fair.

Mod: What is the difference between a tracker and a watcher in your terms? Because I'm really curious why you make me appear to have more knowledge than I do.
:x

A tracker sees who his target targets. A watcher sees who targets his target. I made a mistake when writing ZONEACE's death scene and identified him as the wrong role. - Tar

Once again, I found the roles interchangeable in

. The fact that I said the other and the mod changed it to that other is an accident that is really on the mod's error.

A better indicator of my skill level is games played, in which I've only completed
two
. I dropped for like 6-8 months and got replaced in all the games I was in, so I didn't get to finish those (like 3 or so). Nevertheless, I was being too general in saying tracker = watcher.
The fact is that the mod error is the only reason why I look like scum at this point. I'm appealing to the mod, not to any of you. And I'm overreacting? Considering that what has happened can easily lead to my lynch, better for me to zealously defend myself then just let it happen.

You guys are idiots. Thanks for
ONCE AGAIN
lynching someone before a chance to claim. I had a one-shot NK immunity during the past (that I didn't use last night) and a reflector ability (I could redirect kills aimed at me to someone else) in the future, stuff that I could have used to cause some serious damage to the scum by preventing kills. And I'm lynched all of a minor fucking technicality and a mod error. It's not like I helped myself much about protecting myself, but nevertheless, the town sure is playing this one poorly and being led like sheeple.
Whatever, go town. I guess. :|

I would pick Natirasha as scum for even finding such a stupid thing as using one word over another as something to lynch over. But it isn't like the town is going to wisen up any time soon. :|
