More seriously, I'm a miller. So if any cops investigated me, adjust your sanity accordingly.

Uh... Two observations so far:
1) roflcopter is clearing me with a little too much conviction.
2) Mastin's acting really weird. Making jokes about how scummy you are in the random voting stage is just the sort of reverse psychology trick that would appeal to Mastin. My random vote is now kinda serious. Saying stuff like this:
Doesn't really come off as a joke so much as it comes off like an actual blatant scum tell posing as a joke.Mastin wrote:Eh, he could be, he might not be. [vig directing] (a huge scum tell) It might be a good idea to vig him to make sure, though. [/vig directing].Occasionally intellectually honest

Asking players to confirm your behavior in on-going games? Really, Mastin? You know better than that.Mastin wrote:At least Eight games.
Most of the ones where I've acted this way are ongoing, though. Ask...hmm...
Anyways, I acknowledge that you are shifting your playstyle. No problem. I've done it from time to time. It's healthy. Prevents meta-gaming.
Oh, and replacing in on the second page is practically the same as being in the game from the beginning. But if you want to split hairs about it, then fine.
Uh.. Are you claiming a killing role?Kise wrote:And don't worry, Khan. I won't kill ya.
Yeah, that's pretty much all there is to it. I could be a miller or I could be a member of the mafia. Either way I show up as guilty. So my claim was just to give investigators a heads up. Everyone who isn't an investigator should just continue judging me based on my actions.Kise wrote:Khan's Miller claim doesn't move me. I'd still vote for him if he acts scummy because I was in a game not long ago where the [Death] Miller was of neutral alignment and would have won the game before the town if all of the mafia were eradicated. So, Millers are still suspects IMO.
I'm also headed to bed. Be kind and trim your walls-o-text down a bit Mastin. Nobody likes having to deal with replacements.Occasionally intellectually honest

@Mastin: Series of questions:
Do you consider someone self-metaing as a defence to be scummy?
Would you consider someone defending you by saying "It's Mastin's meta" to be scummy?
Would you consider someone attacking you by saying "Mastin's meta is different" to be scummy?
Would you consider someone attacking you by saying "Mastin's playing to his scum meta" to be scummy?
If your answer isn't the same for all the above questions, give a reason why.
@Hayker (Re: 58): Saying "I think roflcopter is scummy, but he makes good points" is the epitome of wishy-washy fence-sitting.
I <3 you, roflcopter. You actually know how to play this crazy mafia game. An unclaimed miller screws up cop investigations. A claimed miller helps cop calibrate their sanity, but it's essentially a death sentence. It's a shitty role, but that's all there is to it.roflcopter wrote:therefore we are never, ever lynching kublai khan, and it doesn't even matter if i'm right and he's in fact town or i'm wrong and he's fakeclaiming scum because the problem will work itself out long before the endgame. continuing to waste time discussing whether or not you believe khan's claim, or especially considering him as a lynch candidate, will be viewed as scummy with extreme prejudice.
@Johnny Rotten: Waiting for public opinion to be on record before you vote is scummy.
@Empking's Alt: Why are you playing with your Alt and not the regular Empking account?
@Wickedestjr: You are a very cautious player.
@ZazieR: Regular miller as far as I know.
@ZazieR: Your observation that my serious vote sits wrong with you without explaining why is sitting wrong with me, but I can't explain why.
@Faraday: Quit stealing my points (Re: Hayker & Johnny Rotten) before I make them. I've got no thunder now...
@MafiaMann: Happy scumday. Why are you presuming another mafia faction made the kill and not a serial killer or a vig? You're jumping to far-reaching conclusions.Occasionally intellectually honest

@Empking's Alt (112): Oh, okay.
@MafiaMann (116): Mastin listed you as a member of Mafia A and you weren't sure if he was completely joking? I took Mastin's opening post as a joke calling out and ribbing people he had a history and was familiar with. The fact that you aren't someone Mastin knows is now making me say hmmm.
Also: You're making some pretty reaching arguments which seem to betray a deeper knowledge of the game and it's setup than I've got. All I know is that there are 3 kills. Since the flavor is pretty minimal, the fact that the Cerulean Mafia has a name would strongly indicate that there are at least 2 mafia groups. The third kill could be a serial killer, a vigilante, or a third mafia group. The listed causes of death (Slaughtered/Murdered/Annihilated) give us no hints as to which group did what.
These are the bare basic facts. Your wild speculation about multiple mafia doctors is unhelpful and has been noted.
@ckool5000 (117): How do you know a mafioso did it? Are you lamenting the loss of Konowa? Why aren't you rejoicing that we have a lucky vig?
As for why specific people were killed, who knows? For all we know they could have just loaded the player list in the random.org list randomizer and went with the top pick. Speculating on Night 0 kill choices is nothing but a useless WIFOM venture. And MafiaMann & ckool5000 are both scummy for engaging in it.
And for Mod's sake, ckool5000, are you seriously following someone else's list of wiki scum & town tells while you're playing in a game with that same person? WTF?Occasionally intellectually honest

Although I'll stick by my conviction that speculation on why certain Night 0 kills were chosen isn't helpful overall. And you shouldn't trust Mastin's tells.

Semi-serious on the second point. Maybe. Vague accusations suck, don't they.

I agree with you that it's odd that roflcopter didn't include me in the rolefishing accusation. But I guess it looks like roflcopter is serious about his desire to not lynch me.
I don't think anyone ignored it because it was "Mastin being Mastin". I think it got mostly ignored because it was the first post in the game. But I did mention in post 33 that I thought Mastin was the type of person who would enjoy joking about how scummy he was when he actually was scum. He agreed with me in post 40.MafiaMann 171 wrote:1 Im not saying its all true by any means but there maybe some truth in that statement. It shouldnt be disregarded and ignored because it was mastin who said it. Im tired of everything is just mastin being mastin.

In which case it's a perfectly reasonable assumption.MafiaMann 171 wrote:2 Im not making reaching arguments i havent even really made many argument please quote what you are referring to because all i said was wouldnt make sense for the mafias to be symmetrical.

@ckool5000 (252): The game may be 11 pages, but it's only 2 days old. They aren't lurking. They're catching up. You're engaging in fake scum-hunting.
I'm a regular Emerald Miller. I show up as scum on Investigations, but will be revealed as town after death.Mastin (255) wrote:It seems like poor practice to not PM the mod for clarification on what type of miller you are.
Please do so now.
I don't understand the question. The flavor is that the role is called "Emerald Miller". I guess it fits into the game because it makes sense for an Emerald Miller to live in Emerald City. (This is a pretty dumb question. Am I missing something special?)Mastin (271) wrote:Mind explaining how your role, flavor-wise, would fit into this game?
Dude, I wasn't going to waste my time listing every possible alternative scenario and sequentially ask why he didn't pick each one. I picked the most radically extreme opposite example from his assumption and went with that.Mastin (255) wrote:Your words, were, essentially, "why didn't you consider the possibility that we have a really lucky vig?"
There are many possible scenarios.
You called him out for assuming one, and then seemed to assume a scenario yourself.
When other options clearly exist.
This is what needs explaining.
"why didn't you consider the possibility that we have a really lucky vig?" does not equal "I think we had a lucky vig, how about you?" no matter how hard you try to twist my words.
I asked 4 questions about metaing. You put smileys on half the answers, so I assume you were giving joking sarcastic answers, then you refused to explain yourself. You've mentioned several times that you're no longer joking around and that you're scum-hunting, but it still feels like you're not taking the game seriously.Mastin (255) wrote:Eh, remind me what your questions were, again?
Hypocrisy is kinda a big scum-tell. Your posting style may be unique, but you're just as human as the rest of us. And being human means that you commit tells as scum.Mastin (255) wrote:...Because I'm different from most players.

1. I don't see the difference between the two.Mastin 291 wrote:1. Why didn't you immediately say you were an Emerald Miller?
You initially said just Miller.
2. Revealed as a townie, or a miller?
3. It had a purpose, involving how much flavor text you're given in your PM. (Like why you're a miller, why you came to Emerald City, etc. Standard Flavor stuff.)
2. As a miller who is town.
3. PM had nothing along those lines. Just the role, a definition of the role, and win condition.
1. I dunno, laziness? I thought I was getting my point across with one example.Mastin 291 wrote:1.But, again, why did you only list one? Why not at least two? Sure, you don't have to do all (although I find that to be helpful), but that doesn't mean you should only do just one...
2. Can you understand the interpretation of your post, now?
2. Yeah, I guess. It never occurred to me that people would interpret it that way. In retrospect I probably should have included more examples in order to be clear in regards to the intention of my question.
1. Yes.Mastin 291 wrote:1. [Re: 4 questions about meta] Hmm...Want me to go digging for them again?
2. Smileys do not always equal a not-serious answer. Normally, yes, but if you want to make sure, just ask; I'll answer serious, semi-serious, or a joke.
3. People using my RVS comments are scummy because I am ME--I am KNOWN to do this regardless of alignment, making it a null tell.
4. The pro-town response is to ignore my RVS posts
5. I'm different.
Rules such as that RVS one that is part of one of my MITs don't apply to me.
2. If I can state a preference, I prefer that all answers to my questions (at the very least) be serious.
3. In our last game you used Craplogic to try to push a case against me. It turned out to be legit because of the whole cop investigation thing, but am I now supposed to consider it a cop-tell whenever you use Craplogic to push a case against someone?
4. Stuff like this sounds more and more scummy everytime I read it. It's like you think Jedi Mind TricksTM are real.
5. *facepalm* (Double-facepalm if you actually expect me to buy that.)
1. Why reference ckool5000 at all then? Why didn't you scroll back 4 posts (from 137 to 133) and quote me directly? Buddying?ZazieR (295) wrote:1. See post 140. Back then, I hadn''t seen that post of yours in which you slipped up. But due to a simulpost of me and ckool, I saw the part in which you slipped up.
Also, note that ckool didn''t mention anything about a slip-up.
So explain how I''m using his evidence.
2. Great answer Rolling Eyes So of four possible killing roles/groups you strongly doubt that the Cerulean mafia killed one of their own.
Can you now tell which of the possible three remaining killing roles/groups would have most likely killed Konowa?
2. WTF? No, I'm not even going to venture a guess. You've already proven that you'll take anything I say and twist it so that you make me look scummy. That is a loaded question with no right answer designed to entrap anyone dumb enough to answer it.

@ZazieR (339 & 340): I just discovered ircmafia not to long ago. I use the same nick as here. Alexhans can vouch for teaching me the ropes there, including showing me how to look at test setups and such. Xyl's bot seems to like to use stuff like Secret Role, Amnesiac, etc. I had just gotten done playing a bunch of games on Saturday before the game opened, so Sunday all that stuff was still on my mind. Was really stupid of me to bring it up as this isn't a Bastard Mod game and iamausername is unlikely to use such wild roles. I'm on at various times (usually in the evening, but most of the night nothing seems to be happening).
"Selective revisionism" is redundant I guess. Revisionism was the accusation I laid upon you (for asking a question I already gave an answer to in my post 207).
What? I think you may be looking at the wrong posts. There are the two pointless posts that I was referring to:wickedestjr (341) wrote:I saw Zazie comment on this quote as well, but unfortunately I could not find where the actual post was. But anyway, I don't really like this comment. First of all: Hayker didn't make post 186, so your only real evidence for this complaint is post 185 unless you made a mistake and can identify the real post you were talking about. Second of all: It has already been discussed that Mastin and Zaz have been contributing to the scum hunting. While they may post a lot of nonsense, I find that a majority of the content in their posts is helping the game roll along. Third of all: What do you find to be nonsense in Hayker's posts?Hayker (185) wrote:Okay so I'm all caught up on things that address me. I'll post some opinions on some stuff about things with some nouns.
And my main annoyance with Mastin & ZazieR (more Mastin than ZazieR, actually) is that they could stand to trim a lot of the fat and gristle away from their posts instead of hiding the meat. I don't think that their posting styles are scummy, they are just kinda annoying.Hayker (186) wrote:Okay so I'm all caught up on things that address me.

Yet, in the quote of which I accuse you slip, you''re stating that a vig did it without adding a word that can show a sign of possibility, aka ''can'', ''possibly'', etc.
Yet, you even considered that the third kill could have been from a third scum team. So for somebody who states that he doesn''t know, you''re very certain that a vig did it. And that''s only possible in one way as I''ve already said.
Your accusation of me making a scum-slip doesn't even make sense anyways. There are obviously three killing roles. If I was a non-vig killing role, then how would Iknowit was the vig and not the other killer? And if I were the vig, then why would I claim miller?

How many games that had actual millers should I link you to? How about this one? It had 3 legit miller claims AND a legit death miller.

Really? Your argument is that it happened somewhere before, so it must be happening again. Do I really have to pull out a sac of links showing Millers claiming Miller, or will you agree that you've made a stupid argument and move on?ZazieR wrote:That's not what I said at all. Ckool said that it seems more likely that scum would claim death miller, instead of miller. I show him two games in which scum did claim miller.
You are twisting my words and you're not addressing your case as you are caught scum.
Seriously? Currently, I don't see how it would have made a difference. Certain elements of the game (ZazieR/Mastin/ckool5000) have insisted that I'm scum regardless of what I actually say.Kise wrote:I still think Khan is mega suspicious for not saying Emerald Miller before the storm swept through.

Yeah, "active" is the under-statement of the century. Out of the 615 posts in this game so far, you've made 175. That's ~28% of the game. Keep in mind that you are only ~5% of the active game population. If that doesn't seriously suggest that you're trying to railroad the town's opinion against me (despite the fact that nobody really buying into your crap), then I don't know what does.ZazieR (604) wrote:This would be my first game with him in which I am active, and Rofl won''t let this moment go away!

Reading comprehension. Try it. I'm saying that you're attempting to steer the game towards a paticular target, logic be damned.ZazieR (618) wrote:Are you saying here that I''m scummy for posting much?
It seems somebody is out of arguments and is now reaching.

Are you a Lyncher by any chance?
WTF? Look. I got a role PM of miller. (Sorry, EMERALD MILLER). It didn't list anything beyond the basic definition of what a miller was. ZazieR and Mastin jumped on and demanded more information than I had ("What kind of Miller?!"). So I PMed iamausername to ask for more detail and in his inscrutable wisdom he re-sent the PM I had already gotten. Presumably this means that whatever information I am to know is all that I can and will be given. The PM says nothing about death millership, so I interpret iamausername's response to be "No, don't worry about it".Nattam (638) wrote:The JR wagon is useless when there is no JR. I was voting him to get him to talk more but with him gone there is no reason for this. I'm going to Unvote. Vote: Kublai Khan. KK responses to Zaz's questioning make's this an easy decision. Why would a resent PM clarify his role if he already had it?
Kublai Khan wrote:
My Role PM says Emerald Miller. I assumed that if I was a death miller (or other miller variant), then iamausername would have told me. But if you insist, I'll double check with iamausername.
The first quote shows that KK already had the PM, the second shows that the answer to the question(will I turn up as scum at death?) was already in the role PM. If this was true then there would have been no need to ask for more information.
Of course that hasn't stopped ZazieR and Mastin from screaming "scumslip!" loudly and often in some sort of bizarre belief that repitition creates truth. (Note: Politicians and Pundits do the same thing.) Trying to create an artificial reality is a scum-tell.

How is that a change? First, let's start with basic common sense. There's no such thing as a SK-Miller because that would be retarded. I've seen a Mafia-Miller (aka reverse-death-miller, aka innocent conspirator) before.. But it would be retarded for that role to claim as a normal miller, so that's out.Mastin (671) wrote:I'm calling it as I see it--you claimed Miller, and then changed it to Emerald Miller.
Can you see the point?
So all that's left is townie (or Emerald) miller. Unless Mastin is trying to claim that there are multiple townie factions or independent survivors in this game. In which case his insistence that there is a difference between "miller" and "Emerald Miller" implies that he has a greater knowledge of the game setup than I do. As such, I believe it's a slip on Mastin's part. A scummy slip.
It's not inconsistent unless you can prove that there is potential for "non-Emerald" Millers.Mastin (671) wrote:Yes it does.
Inconsistency is a scum tell.
You claimed miller. No specifics. Just Miller.
Then you claimed Emerald Miller, after you were called out for it.
There's an inconsistency, there.
Can you see it?
I sure can.
Mastin (671) wrote:When given evidence to support that it doesn't apply, sure, I believe you should ignore "scummy activity" from me, because it's not scummy activity, but rather, just my natural play.Are you kidding me? Why the fuck aren't people voting for Mastin???

@Mastin: Re: French
I speak French. I can verify that the French abbreviate "Monsieur" (pronounced "Messieu") as M. Link
Trying to fight the Mastin wall-o-text posts..
1: *facepalm* No True Scotsman fallacy.Mastin (all from 709) wrote: 1: Rolefishing. (I don't care if it's an anti-town role; it's not a scum role, hence, not true scum hunting.)
2: This seems to contradict with what you said earlier--didn't you mention knowing what type of Miller you were?
3: You show far too many inconsistencies for me to believe your claim. You stance of certain things are scummy, and you've shown inconsistencies/hypocrisy/scum tells from things not even related to your miller claim.
4: Eh, probably referring to your play in 742. There was a noticeable difference in play between the pre-cop and post-cop claim, panicking under the realization that there was a guilty on you.
5: Failure to even specify the Emerald part is a scum tell, because you're forgetting a VERY KEY DETAIL of your role PM.
Let me put it this way:
Compare these two claims:
"I'm a roleblocker. I blocked XX night zero, because he said he'd kill me if he got a killing role."
"I'm an Emerald Roleblocker. I blocked XX night zero, because he said he'd kill me if he got a killing role."
Which of those two looks more legit?
Definitely the latter, to me.
6: Eh, by default, I like to think of Serial Killers as showing up as innocent to cops. Blame EM.
7: Look, there are multiple reasons scum could fail to specify Emerald.
8: If you're mafia, you wouldn't even THINK to add the Emerald phrase to WHATEVER you claim, be it Miller, Vig, your actual mafia role, etc.
9: If I give evidence to support that my supposed "scummy activity" is really just a null tell from me, then it's no longer a scum tell, and can be ignored, because it's my natural playstyle, a null tell, and not a scum tell.
10: Yes. You are; there's nothing to see in me stating a simple metagaming fact.
11: NOBODY has ever gotten away from an accusation on me without later regretting it.
2: I said I was a miller. You guys were the ones fishing for more information and blew every perceived inconsistency out of proportion.
3: C'mon! Be vaguer! You can do it! Say I smell like scum! Invoke gut!
4: Don't answer for ckool5000. I have a right to know who is talking shit about me.
5: There's a major problem with your comparison, Mastin. It's entirely possible for there to be both MAFIA ROLEBLOCKERS and TOWN ROLEBLOCKERS. That's a distinction that DOESN'T EXIST with the role of Miller (Note: you've already admitted this).
6: No smiley face. Is this comment serious? Do you really think SKs work that way?
7: Like what?
8: That is some pretty insulting WIFOM reasoning. Also, see #5. Miller isn't a role that has multiple possible alignments. Miller only has ONE potential alignment. Quit relying on different roles (with different rules) to make your point.
9: Sure, why not. Nothing says "Pro-Town" like massive uncorroborated self-metaing circular arguments that are steeped heavily in forced denial.
You're like the Baghdad Bob of this game. "The scumminess of my play has been vastly overreported! Kublai Khan will be surrendering to my mighty arguments any moment now!"
10: Gosh, It's totally inconceivable for a player to commit scum-tells intentionally in other games as town so that they can play more unnoticed as scum.
11: Threatening the town. With the very same post style you claim is benign.
@SerialClergyMan (723 & 724): First off, welcome to the game!
Second, how do you figure that Mastin's repeated insistence of how pro-town (or null) he is not to be a scum-tell?
Third, I agree with you on Achilles. He's on my "Top 5 potential scum" list at the moment.
@Wickedestjr (725): Why? (second part)
@VP Baltar (746): Wow. You just made my rebuttal seem paltry in comparison.
@Nattam (762): I've already answered your case against me here, which you've never responded to or acknowledged. Also, do me a favor and respond to roflcopter's post 59 (reposted as 758).
I'm starting to get pretty certain that those pushing for my lynch are doing so because they don't want to be the ones to waste their NK on me.

Oh, fucking hell. I'm so close to throwing in the towel and asking for replacement because of Mastin's posts.
The parsing of every sentence clause was bad, the endless repetition of the same points over and overwithin the same postis worse, but now the super-condescendingLARGE TEXThe's added is beyond asinine. It feels like his ego is so big he thinks he has to talk louder and slower for the rest of us simpletons to understand his massive genius.
He is literally sucking the fun out of this game and making it a chore.
Look at this:
The above paragraph doesn't describe scum-hunting.. it describes a strategy of OMGUS. Mastin is doing the following:Mastin wrote:Once a person attacks me, and attacks me hard, there's no going back on it. They look bad for continuing. They look worse for stopping. I push for their lynch, even when they stop pushing for mine, so they have no choice but to push my lynch as scum, because if they don't, instead of getting lynched the next day, they get lynched THAT day.
A) Admitting that he doesn't really care about alignments, he is all about personal vendettas and trying to get people lynched for the sole 'crime' of suspecting him.
B) Admits that he will make-up scum-tells as part of his "ends justify the means" mentality.
C) Bullying townies by threatening to eat away at their free time by forcing them to either respond to huge amounts of trumped-up charges or else look bad and get lynched.
D) Presenting himself and his playstyle as exclusively pro-town. There is no null version of this type of strategy, so he presents his tactics as working well against scum, but doesn't include the fallout of what happens when a townie attacks him. If the person he is revenge-attacking is town and backs off, then he will continue to push for a town-lynch. If the person he is revenge-attacking is town and doesn't back off, then he will do whatever he can to smear the person to that they get lynched the next day.
Bottom line is that anybody can smear anyone else. But Mastin's game of "I'm going to smear anyone that attacks me and take them down with me" isn't scum-hunting, it's scummy OMGUS. It's unforgivable anti-town behavior.
I'm not normally a policy lynch kinda guy... But what exactly is the point of keeping Mastin around? He's basically insisting that all he wants to do is piss people off so that he can go toe-to-toe with and try to get them lynched by hook or by crook. There's no conceivable way that his strategy would exclusively target scum.If Mastin isn't scum, then he's a troll.But since he's gleefully staying within the mod's rules, then we have no choice but to lynch himOccasionally intellectually honest

Like a bad day job, I drag myself out of bed and continue to respond to Mastin.
Evidence that Mastin's "scum-hunting" is more smear campaigning than reality. Taking 4 words out of context and labelling them as scummy doesn't make it true.. It's like yellow journalism.Mastin (814) wrote:Throwing in the towel-->Giving up-->Admitting you're scum.
Scumslip.
The problem is that Mastin is brow-beating and badgering people into accepting his point of view. They are tools of intimidation and bullying.Mastin (814) wrote:Duh. I've nailed the scum already. And people aren't listening. So, yes, I am going to talk louder (read: large sized font, bolds, italicized, underlined, caps lock) to get the point across.
What's the problem with that?
Evidence that Mastin's "scum-hunting" is literally just OMGUS.Mastin (814) wrote:Okay, this is a joke. A seriously bad joke. Khan, understandable; he's scum. Same with VP. Rofl's rofl. Mafia's likely scum, as is Mufasa, and Lowell's with VP and Khan. Wicked shouldn't be on there, as I have plenty of pressure on me already,
But...
Still, that bandwagon's size is alarming.
I can guarantee you that it's mostly scum driven.
This (and there are many examples of this) is what's known as a Bare Assertion Fallacy. The fallacy is summarized as follows:Mastin (814) wrote:This is the opposite of the truth, Khan.
I've been presenting my playstyle as a coin. Both pro-town AND ANTI-TOWN AS WELL.
I've been presenting myself, from my actions, as a NULL TELL. Because I'd do this regardless of alignment.- Fact 1: X claims statement A.
- Fact 2: X claims that X is not lying.
- Conclusion: Therefore, A is true.
This is a variation on the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. Given the fact that most of his arguments are of a fallacious nature, it's surprising that he would insist that only scum would attack him hard. If Mastin is town, I find it much more likely that scum would either not engage him at all, or try to buddy up to him (such as agreements of "Mastin is always like that"). So that they can be unnoticed while other townies go toe-to-toe with Mastin over his bad self-metaing logical fallacies.Mastin (814) wrote:The thing is, pro-town players will not attack me in the ways that you and VP have.
It IS my fault for failing to specify the fact that only scum would attack me that hard in that quote. I had done it in previous examples, but forgot to do it this time.
Of course, if Mastin is scum, his strategy would be to try to smear as many of the powerhouse townies as he could. So that remains a strong possibility.
Oh, a role claim. I'll deal with that in a separate post.Occasionally intellectually honest

Let me get this straight: I joked about killing you in the pre-game thread (i.e. no roles yet), so you decide to roleblock me. When the day started, you saw two things: (1) that you weren't dead, and (2) that I was claiming miller.Mastin (815) wrote:I am an Emerald Roleblocker. I blocked Kublai Khan Night Zero, because he said he'd kill me if he got a killing role in the pre-game. Best random choice I could think of.
A vig, a serial killer, and two mafia factions. With one of their kills failing last night. Specifically, I think Khan submitted the kill, and when he failed, he panicked and claimed miller.
So you leap to the conclusion that (A) I ended up with a killing role and (B) there should have been 4 kills. Since you're still alive then (C) you successfully blocked me from killing you. So (D) I panicked and (E) claimed miller as a result of panicking. Oh, and {after reading Mastin's 825} (F) I'm a newbscum idiot who thinks that I can ride a fakemiller claim to victory.
And ignored the much, much more probable scenario that there are 3 killing roles and you blocked a miller.
So you admit that your whole case against me was based on having a faulty conclusion first, then smearing the facts to fit the conclusion.Mastin (815) wrote:THAT is one of my main reasons for suspecting Khan, above all else.
Thank you for clearing me, Mastin. I was worried that fools actually believed you.
Eh.. Sounds like your breadcrumbs were pretty damn broad at the beginning of the game (allowing for a variety of fakeclaims), then towards the middle of the game you got more specific. If it was the other way around, I'd be more likely to believe it.Mastin (822) wrote:
I always have to do this absurd claim some time in a game. It's just too fun not to do.Welcome to Mastin's layer. He's a serial-killer-lyncher-jester-member-of-a-four-man-mason-roleblocker-tracker-watcher group.
Plus you breadcrumbed hard. Like a giddy scum wanting to get caught so that he can claim as soon as possible. Someone more town would make 1 breadcrumb early then never mention it again.
There's no evidence, Mastin. I can't confirm that I was blocked because I have no night action that can be blocked. The mod did not send me a notification saying that I was blocked. NOTHING CONFIRMS YOUR STORY.Mastin (824) wrote:But because of the miller claim after I blocked him, I had serious doubts.
There's no denying that I am a Roleblocker, VP.
But you can't doubt that I did block Khan, because there's an overwhelming amount of evidence to prove this to be the case.
I realize the bandwagon is dead, but Mastin still has a bunch to answer for and it would be super-fantastic if he posted in a manner that would make me want to actually read his reply. (i.e. short and to the point)
However I agree that MafiaMann's last 3 posts were extremely suspicious and that he needs to explain himself a bit more.

No doubt. I took some time to read some of his posts in isolation. Remember his "I'm a serial-killer-lyncher-jester-member-of-a-four-man-mason-roleblocker-tracker-watcher group." comment that supposedly setup his roleblocker claim? Well, I don't see any other breadcrumbs about being a roleblocker until iso49 (3 mentions) and iso52 (4 separate mentions).curiouskarmadog wrote:interesting how a claim and some "breadcrumbs" can stop a wagon. everyone was so hell bent on lynching mastin, but he says he is a RB (which i find is a easy mafia claim to claim)...also everyone seems to overlook the fact that he could have easily planned that claim well before the day started. Hell Kublai's interaction with him might have helped him craft that claim....not buying and I think the claim and his explanation of it is shaky at best....
Previously, it looks like he might have been setting up for a fakeclaim of watcher. Check it out:Mastin (iso21) wrote:Yea, that's generally my plan. [Khan]'s someone to keep an eye on. I'll be looking very carefully at his town meta, review his scum meta, and play this entire game for...well, the duration of this game. If he ends up being scummy, my random vote which I took off will become a serious vote.Mastin (iso21) wrote:Again, I agree. They're the claim to at least keep an eye on. (Quite personally [although this opinion is influenced heavily by epicmafia], I believe in not letting Millers know they are millers in semi-open setups.) It's the perfect scum claim, which is why I will be keeping an eye on Khan.Mastin (iso23) wrote:Which is why I will keep an eye on Khan.Mastin (iso23) wrote:It's not like I'm advocating for his lynch. I'm stating how I will keep my eye on him, and how he's a suspect of mine.Mastin (iso24) wrote:I'm keeping an eye on Khan. He's never going to leave my suspicion list because of this.Mastin (iso24) wrote:Which is why Khan has my eye.Mastin (iso24) wrote:RVS Shenanigans. I will keep an eye on Khan, but his claim isn't a scum tell. (Doesn't mean it's a town tell, though.)Mastin (iso24) wrote:Khan was my RVS vote.
In reality, he's worthy of keeping an eye on,Mastin (iso24) wrote:Khan's worthy of keeping an eye on. Not worthy of keeping a vote on.
Then nothing after iso25. Plus he also made many other various references to "eyes" early-to-mid game that haven't continued throughout the game.Mastin (iso25) wrote:Oh, I don't think we should waste time debating it--I think we should, however, keep an eye on Khan for it.
My conclusion is that he's fake-claiming. He setup a broad breadcrumb, narrowed it to watcher for awhile before switching at the last minute to roleblocker. He also may have tried to breadcrumb tracker, but I didn't see anything to that effect. Unless Mastin can point out any breadcrumbs pre-iso49 that I missed, then he's scum.
Hmm.. Bored and bloodthirsty. Signs of being a Serial Killer.Mufasa (860) wrote:okay haha I've looked through this game, and we are moving at a snails pace, never have I ever had to go all the way till a deadline to get a lynch. I have to say Mastins breadcrumming is good, but I just can't count him out yet. I'd get rid of him for just posting page long posts, haha if I could. I don't think Mafia will take care of mastin during the night either. I really think we should lynch him sooner than later, but I like the case on Mafiamann as well.
Mufasa (873) wrote:if you've ever played a game with me your should know that pressuring me is a waste of time.

Yes really. What purpose is there for Mastin to check to see if my role explained "where I came from, how I got to Emerald City", except to check if he needs to craft his fakeclaim accordingly?Empking's Alt wrote:

@Mastin (983): Catch up, but no walls of text please. There's about 4 days left until the deadline and according to iamausername's rulelist, if we have no majority then there is no lynch. Since the town has pretty much decided to leave us two to the mercy of the night-killers, we both need to focus our attention elsewhere.

I don't know. Something must have happened between iso26 and iso49 to make Mastin change his mind. Of course, that covers a fairly large portion of the game. I asked Mastin to identity any RB breadcrumbs he made previous to iso49 (not counting the super broad ones). But Mastin has yet to respond.molestargazer wrote:
If this is true, why would he switch his carefully setup fakeclaim from watcher to roleblocker at the last minute?Khan wrote:My conclusion is that he's fake-claiming. He setup a broad breadcrumb, narrowed it to watcher for awhile before switching at the last minute to roleblocker.
Actually, Mastin hasn't posted any meaningful content since making his claim. He's said nothing but "got plenty of time to post", "Oops, been busy", and "catching up on next 8 pages". I'm thinking that he's clearly stalling on answering questions about his claim. Not really pro-town behavior.
Also not pro-town behavior is MafiaMann dragging his heels on claiming a role. It's not a good idea to wait until the last minute. Add me to the list of posters who rather hammer an unclaimed MafiaMann then to have a no lynch.Occasionally intellectually honest

Dude, 742 was months ago. All I remember from that game was that I replaced in for a guy that you had a guilty result on and you made up the most fantastical BS scum-tells to try to get me lynched without claiming. You failed.Mastin wrote:Want more proof Khan is scum?
This quote.
He KNOWS that I breadcrumb hard as town.
See 742.
So, did he forget a very vital part of my meta?
Don't think so; he's scum.
Okay, so you're a Mafia Roleblocker, then. Thanks for being so honest and truthful.

Adherence to meta-prisons is such a stupid reason to suspect people.
I agree with some of Kmd4390's reasons for suspecting roflcopter, and he(roflcopter) should be pressured at some point today to offer better analysis.

Okay, we're not really getting anywhere with multiple half-ass bandwagons that aren't causing a lick of pressure. We need to work together.
Now, Mastin has already claimed and I think that there are several problems with his claim. Mastin has not addressed anything. He still hasn't even addressed the initial skepticism of claim made back on Day 1.
So at this point we can wait until he gets caught up, or tire of his stalling and lynch him. Deadline isn't for 2 weeks, so I think we can afford putting him on the backburner for now and try to focus on some other targets.
Now, we're also waiting for several other people to get caught up. Achilles, ckool5000, Empking's Alt have all posted only a single post since Day 2 started a week ago. C'mon people. Kmd4390 read something like 40 pages in a single afternoon and you guys can't find a single afternoon to read like 5-6 pages? The non-input is looking scummier and scummier.
This is especially true for ckool5000. There's a good case built up on him and I really think he's avoiding having to answer for it, and he's hoping that attention will shift to someone else.
So at this point I'm switching bandwagons to ckool5000 and I'm imploring the Mastin wagon to follow my lead. Nobody is going to respond to the piddly 3-4 votes we're giving people with 9 to lynch. Let's get this game going in a positive direction by forcing ckool5000 to post by putting 7-8 votes on him.

Hmm.. Bad night. Though I gotta admit I'm laughing my ass off at scum-Mastin and scum-ZazieR for buddying up to each other on Day 1.
Initial suspicions:
molestargazerfor an attempted last minute defense of Mastin. There's something weird about how he agreed with the majority about Mastin's scumminess, yet didn't want the lynch. Plus some of the people on the Mastin bandwagon that molestargazer listed have made their case against Mastin really clear (like VP Baltar for example). And why wasn't curiouskarmadog on your list? His vote (1164) isn't really any more in-depth than the rest that you quoted..
roflcopter: For post 1258 mostly. It struck me a little weird that Mastin's defenses were so poor and scarce on Day 2. I know this is WIFOM, but surely his mafia teammates should have tried to come up with a strategy to make his RB claim more believable. One good explanation why they didn't would be to make themselves look town by being his biggest attacker.
Enter roflcopter. He was one of Mastin's biggest attackers. Plus his attempt to direct the vig-kill based on the guilt/innocence of his scum-mate Mastin accomplishes a lot of tasks: He looks town. He controls the vigilante (protecting himself). He eliminates a townie. Even if ckool5000 doesn't listen to him (or his vig got re-directed maybe?), he still ends up with the better part of the deal.
Wickedestjr: For the weird cop-ish claim towards the end of the day. I wasn't going to bring attention to it because I thought maybe you were the cop, but with VP Baltar's death kinda nixes that idea. My gut is strongly telling me that you were trying to divert the doc protect away from the claimed pro-town killing role.
PlusFOSesfor those flying under the radar: Achilles, Faraday, & Lowell I think are the biggest offenders.Occasionally intellectually honest

No... It's more the vig-directing ploy. If you hadn't tried to direct the vig-kill, I'd be a lot less suspicious of you.roflcopter wrote:and now i can tally three games where people try to lynch me for being right
If Mastin had made an effort to address the DAY 1 problems with his roleclaim, I'd believe that his remaining partner(s) might have tried to coach him. Since Mastin didn't, I think it's much more likely that his remaining partner(s) made plans to bus the fuck out of him.roflcopter wrote:do you really think that someone would bus their only remaining scumpartner, another mafia power role, from the getgo on day one with two other kill sources remaining?

Well, I do agree with you about the point that the Vermillion Mafia are likely aiming to lynch you. But the general OMGUS attitude towards anyone suspecting you and the ignoring of the main point against you isn't really helping me see you as town.roflcopter wrote:the only person who's intentions i think were honest in wifoming himself about me-mastin was khan. i'm betting that the fact that he did so is what opened the floodgates of opportunism.Occasionally intellectually honest

Yes, I acknowledge that. However, you have yet to address your scummy action of attempting to direct the vig kill.roflcopter wrote:you're disregarding the fact that i was trying to lynch mastin long before his roleblocker claim on day one
Yes, but conversly, it would stand to reason that the best strategy for the remaining Cerulean(s) would be to get the town to ignore any leads towards finding Ceruleans and to get the town to concentrate on finding Vermillion instead. Like this next post for example:roflcopter wrote:i believe i've demonstrated my reason for suspecting those who are trying to paint me as mastin's scumpartner.
Having two mafia factions around hurts the town more than either mafia faction. Eliminating the weaker scum faction at this point reduces the number of night-kills by half. That's the best strategy.roflcopter wrote:today i would rather hit vermillion. it benefits the town if we leave the last cerulean alive to potentially crosskill vermillion. we don't want to clear the board of all kill sources save a scumteam which is already in the stronger position than their rival scumteam. chances are very good that vermillion as one or two power roles left, and cerulean has none.

Main point summary of it.
A) Either my read of roflcopter is wrong, or the bandwagon has no traction.Unvote
B) I have no idea why Kmd4390 is reading Hayker as town. (or curiouskarmadog for that matter)
C) Namttam's huge turn about and mega-convinient timing of the noticing of the flaw in his logic is suspect.
D) Achilles needs to post or be replaced.
E) I'm good with the Hayker bandwagon.

Ok, got some time now, what was the question again?
Ah, okay.. reasons.. Well, my notes mostly point to post 1483 back on Page 60. Specifically this part:Namttam wrote:Still waiting on reasons from SC, Kmd, and KK. Also I didn't miss count, Kk did and i took his word for it.
Now this is on Day 3 and Namttam had voted for me for the majority of Days 1 & 2. If he had just posted the first two sentences of his explanation, I wouldn't have really noticed. But the whole detailing of him figuring out exactly what his error just seemed a little too contrived. Especially since VP Baltar had already outlined the flaw in his case in post 681 (which I unwittingly reiterated in post 689).Namttam wrote:I have to back off my belief that KK is scum. Since he was attacked by both maf factions for his claim it is highly unlikely he is apart of either one. Since this conclusion did not jive with my previous one I reanalyzed my previous argument and found a flaw in it. I didn't account for the nature of the game of mafia. I don't think I've seen a role description for a miller that actually states that the miller will flip as town. Therefore, if the mod resent a miller pm to KK which did not contain this information, the mod was implying that either KK was just a regular miller or it was something only the mod got to know. These are alternate conclusion to my logic for why KK must be scum. Since I have alternate conclusions I cannot conclude KK must be scum which now jives which now jives with my conclusion that KK is town based upon him being attacked by both mafia factions. I made a mistake and I apologize.
If you were a townie, I'd be more likely to believe that you honestly made a mistake if you hadn't pretended to "discover" the flaw in your case against me. Plus I don't know where you got the impression that all millers flip as scum. The mafiawiki definition of miller is pretty clear that "death miller" is a totally seperate role.
Also, SpyreX is totally right about you defending Mastin.
Because voting for the counter-wagon in an effort to save your own ass is always a scummy move. Especially if he's only piggy-backing on roflcopter's case. Xyl is scummy for copying the move, but Namttam did it first (and totally unironically at that). Plus I suspect Namttam more.Wickedestjr wrote:

@Wickedestjr: Thanks for all the hard work on collecting voting patterns, but it might be for naught. I'm not seeing any patterns either.
Eh.. My experience is that it's almost scum who say something like that. To wit:Namttam wrote:This makes me think even more that the maf are all on my wagon already.
Still, you make an interesting point. Why is there hesitation? Why are people dragging this day out? Let me go back and distill where people are currently standing...Mastin wrote:Still, that bandwagon's size is alarming.
I can guarantee you that it's mostly scum driven.
Those not currently on the lynch (synthesis of suspicion towards Xylthixlm & Namttam and other recent actions):
curiouskarmadog: recently unvoted Xylthixlm, not sure if he believe's Namttam's townie claim, pretty wishy-washy and vague. Not making any concrete statements of suspicion.
Faraday: Thinks Xylthixlm is "neutral-ish" and states that nothing Nattam has done has caught his eye as scummy.
Hayker: Not 100% happy with lynching either Xylthixlm or Namttam. Would rather lynch Lowell.
Lowell: Stated that he thinks Namttam is suspicious (though Xylthixlm is more suspicious). Stated willingness to hammer Namttam. Recently had to be prodded.
molestargazer: Stated that he doesn't like Namttam's defense a couple of times. Stated that he'd be happy to vote be hasn't.
roflcopter: Heavy pushing the Xylthixlm wagon, but stated that he believed Namttam to be Cerulean Goon. Currently prodded.
Wickedestjr: Casting a pretty wide potential scum net at the moment with his analysis (7 people?) I think he's leaning more for Xylthixlm than Namttam though.
Those currently on the Namttam lynch wagon:
SerialClergyman: Stated his case in 1842.
Kmd4390: Stated his reason in post 1752 (VC analysis done in post 1446)
SpyreX: States his case in 1788.
Xylthixlm: I think 1755 is where he states his reasons...
Kublai Khan: My case is states in 1820.
Namttam: Uh, 1876 he makes a case on himself.
So is this where everyone is currently standing?Occasionally intellectually honest

So noted. But why does the day make such a big difference? I would understand if it was Day 3 and we had no dead scum, but we're not at LYLO. We've still got a margin of error.curiouskarmadog wrote:@KK, I unvoted Xyl because a combo of doubt that he is scum and something Nam said. I have been back and forth on Xyl for awhile (think this has already been discussed)...if we were in the beginning stages of the game (or day) I would simply put my vote on Nam..but we are too close to a lynch and I want to be sure.
At the moment I think Nam is scummier than Xyl.

Both these questions kinda have the same answer. What prompted my post? More than anything I'd say Hayker's vote for Lowell. On one hand I agree with Hayker that Lowell is scummy, but on the other hand I'm also positive that Namttam is scum. Several good cases have been presented from multiple points of view that show a clear pattern of behavior that indicates a nefarious scum-aligned intent. Namttam has not offered a different (pro-town) believable explanation for his behavior, instead he's offered a self-vote which I always interpret as an appeal to emotion which is never a good argument. So from my POV, it's pretty much an open and shut case.curiouskarmadog wrote:one more question KK, what prompted you to make post 1878? "Feeling the day is too long" is not really what I am looking for here...was there a particular post or discussion that prompted this?
As much as I'd love to pursue my suspicions of Lowell, I can't. I've got no leverage against him because he knows that Namttam is the lynch for today and it would be near impossible to build a counter-wagon on him. So if he's scum then he's just going to clam up. (Actually he's V/LA, so I really can't pursue him).
I know the general theory around these parts is that longer days favor town, but if the main target of suspicion isn't offering a defense and active players like roflcopter are being prodded due the stagnation, then whats the point of dragging the game to the point of deadline? Those that are sitting on the fence need to have their motives questioned. They need to either state why they think the Namttam case is bad or they need to be good townies and lynch scum.Occasionally intellectually honest

Damn it Namttam.. Townies should always try to defend themselves. A suicidal townie only helps scum.
I'll try to get some re-reading done tonight, but I'm busy packing for a camping vacation. I'll be gone until the 15th. So lynch some scum while I'm gone, okay?Occasionally intellectually honest
