To answer you, G&H, on two points:

1. I don't know what Haylen was thinking. That's the long and short of it.

2. No player plays exactly the same as Mafia and Town. There would be differences. There HAS to be differences. Also, I would hate to be your scumpartner, lol. If what you are writing is true, it would be very easy to pick you out as scum just based on night actions.

G&H wrote:Prox - OK. So in post #206 you unvoted drmyshottyizsik. Now you're saying that you didn't intend to vote for Haylen in the same post. But then there is your post #253 where I can't understand what's going on. In that post you made some comments on Haylen and then placed a "Finger of Suspicion" on Haylen. Later in the same post you stated "I've already read Haylen's posts today, and my opinion of her stands, though technically she's one of the scummiest people here"... and you unvoted!? But at that point you weren't voting for anyone! If we assume that you were unvoting Haylen, why did you tell me you hadn't voted for Haylen in post #206? And again, if you thought you had voted for Haylen previously, what was the point of placing a "Finger of Suspicion" on somebody you had already been voting? On the other hand, if you didn't think you were voting for Haylen, who were you unvoting in post #253?

Also, what did you mean when you said this:

"I'm surprised it didn't take longer for this to happen. However, I don't get how it took someone else to say it for it to matter"
ARGH!

Okay. Let me look, then.

Easy Q 1st: ""I'm surprised it didn't take longer for this to happen. However, I don't get how it took someone else to say it for it to matter""

I was talking about shotty.

In post 206, I think I was trying to vote for Haylen, but failed. If when asked I said otherwise, I must've been absentminded and not checked. Sorry. And then I read the whole thread thing or maybe looked at the vote count and became ambivalent and then things just went out of whack. Or something like that. I really don't understand what happened now that I look in hindsight. I usually don't FoS people I have my vote on. Please don't make me figure it out.
This time, I'll not care.

So when you unvoted Shotty, did you still think he was scummy?
Trying to get a person to slip just to validate your attack only causes mislynches.
My attack is already validated. You have already slipped. G&H is backing up my attacks and revealing your scummy play for what it really is.

Wow quite a bit going on

-G&H
silverbullet999, I was simply comparing your playstyles in the different games. I have the feeling that you're playing in a more "planned" manner now than before. I mentioned "silverbullet999 strikes back" because I think it will be a very curious coincidence if once again the person that provoked your "strike" turns out to be a mafioso, like was the case with Nothing Special. By the way, since you said: "Haylen's actions has seemed like haylen being her normal self to me" - do you find the way Haylen played in our current game similar to the one in Newbie 940?
1. What do you mean when you say a very curious coincidence? How would you feel if I was correct?
2. Yeah for the most part. Though she was much more emotional in that game I feel like that was what was occurring in this game.

-Bob
Any other reasons why you think I'm scum, silver?
You still have essentially ignored my questions. You haven't clarified if you really thought Haylen's post was pressured. You also have not addressed you asking my for my playstyle and all that such.

However

UNVOTE: VOTE: Prox

You really have been flailing in these few pages

@
the real cop
(if it isn't Seraphim)-

DO NOT COUNTERCLAIM. There is absolutely no incentive to do this. If you get NKd, then we find out the scum is lying anyways. In the meantime, you can still investigate and try to find the other scum. If you don't get NKd, then you can counterclaim later. If we lynch scum today, claim on D3. If we lynch town, claim tomorrow.

unvote

vote hinduragi


I don't have time to go into depth right now, but I want to get my vote out there.

Aww, bob, why do you have to go ruining my fun? I was hoping scum would try to counter-claim...ah well, guess it was just a pipe dream anyway.

but seriously. If I'm not the real cop, real cop shouldn't counterclaim yet. It will never happen, of course, because I'm the real cop.

Prox wrote:How does this make him more scummy?
Seraphim was at L-1. The way I saw it at that time, Shotty hopped onto a bangwagon with next to no reason behind his vote, put it at L-1, and then asked for the cop to claim. How is that not scummy?

And yeah, I saw later that I forgot the last possibility. Thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully I made my point on that clear enough, though.

Anyways, onto your case. I've already seen most of the reasons so far since I just did a catch-up.

I'm with Seraphim when I say that you are
really
looking scummy now.

G&H -
The "Follow the Cop" setup was in reference to Seraphim hoping for a doctor. In a "Follow the Cop" setup, the cop claims D1 and goes around investigating every night and revealing his results at daybreak while the doctor protects him each night from the mafia. People have suggested that a roleblocker prevents this. (Hence the F11 setup where the roleblocker, doctor, and cop are all in one game) However, personally, I've had doubts as to that. My point being that there's a 50% chance that there's a doctor if there's also a cop.

Bob -
I appreciate that you're getting your vote out there to contribute and all but you've still ignored me for 3 posts now.


Tl;dr, Prox is scum.

It's scummy in hindsight but shotty didn't know I was the cop so he didn't know he was putting the cop at L-1. He was putting a player he thought was scum at L-1, the exact same thing you just did.

Hold up. I actually need to read a little more before I commit my vote.

When is deadline?

Scum would never fakeclaim cop like that D1. That's suicide, and there's no reason for it. The only person who would counterclaim in this situation would be newbtown who mistakenly thought trading themselves for one of the scum is a good deal.

Anways, my gut read of Prox earlier in the game was town. However, it's possible that I stopped paying close attention to him as a result of this, so I'll need to look again.

@ everyone -

why do you all believe Seraphim's claim?

@ silver -

That's not the post (from Haylen) I was talking about. My bad though, since I said "last post". I meant this one:
Haylen wrote:
Prox wrote:A lack of a reaction is a reaction. I guess you decided to do this and make it part of your meta so that town can't figure out when you're scum?
Uh oh, Busted.
You've hit the nail on the head. The only way people tend to be able to differentiate between town haylen and scum haylen is because as town I get very emotionally involved in the game, and as scum I'm very cold and scorn votes against me. In order to make myself less obvious, I've developed a sense of deindividuation as town that way I can pretend the votes are on somebody else rather than myself. :P Occassionally, I let it slip through though.

As said before, I am not going to be giving two names on who I believe are a scumteam. I don't mafiateam hunt, I scumhunt. Trying to find two players is a lot harder than finding the one. Leave the other scum til we've lynched the first, then you can use loads of fun things like voting analysis.

Unvote: Prox
I forget that was still there.
G+H wrote:And then, a very short time after drmyshottyizsik said that, Haylen suddenly appeared and addressed drmyshottyizsik's post... I'm not sure what to think about that. Since almost no one has commented on it, will anyone do it now?
Technically, I am always online. However, I am not always available.

This may surprise you, and it totally isn't OMGUS, but I am getting quite odd/possibly scummy vibes from Archeobob. I am pretty sure that Switz is town, if he is scum, then he has been coached by experienced scum in the quicktopic. Good and Honest I am seeing as neutral right now. I would look Shotty to be looked into.
That post felt pretty pressured to me.
