Anyway,
Hi all.
Are you okay, Tyfo?Tyfo, in italics, wrote:I hate myself
He votes Pie_is_good to get a response when Pie_is_good responded to the suspicions on him two posts earlier.Akonas wrote:Hmmm.. I think I'llvote: Pie is Goodto see how he responds, and because, as he said, "I'm all for random voting/bandwagoning."
Eh? That's not even how cults work.TSAGod wrote:If there isn't a nightkill element, then what's to stop us from no lynching everyday so we all become cult members and win?
Well, at least that sarcastic remark was justified and appropriate.TSAGod wrote:Okay...I'll claim then. I'm the cult leader....[/sarcasm]
Whoa.. 3 potential lynches? Based on that?Nemesis wrote:Pie was a sheep, TSAGod had the weird reason. 3 potential lynchs, I'd rather go for Bertrand out of the three but I am in no hurry to vote.
Fair enough. To be honest, it was mostly the categorisation of players that set bells ringing here. Players separating others from the rest in terms of scumminess/potential lynches makes me a bit uncomfortable. It is restrictive and fosters manipulation.Nemesis wrote:I was saying that for those couple of posts there was a number of people who had said something scummy and I didn't want to speedlynch any of them. That means I was doing the opposite of what you are saying... I was saying we shouldn't lynch any of them now and we should keep this in mind. Lynches this early in the day mean hardly anyone has to actually say something that could come across scummy.
In case you forgot I defended Pie earlier and said Bertrand was acting scummily earlier as well... I also voted for TSAGod. None of those actions did a lot and we ended up lynching someone else because they wouldn't claim. I feel that if we let people slide then we will do the same thing so keep this is in mind later, but I also feel that some people who don't really post are just avoiding suspicion totally and we shouldn't allow that to happen either. I will vote later, just not yet... I want more discussion before we consider lynching someone and because I want more discussion it means that I am not limiting the town's scope as you say I am...
Btw, I think the main problem I have with this is that we have no guarantee of Nemesis's alignment. That's why it is potentially easy to manipulate, seeing as it is a possibility is making the list.Fuldu wrote:Huh? That's how we decide who to lynch. It can be done in a collaborative manner, but it typically starts with one or two players indicating which players they would consider as potential lynches and why.VitaminR wrote:Players separating others from the rest in terms of scumminess/potential lynches makes me a bit uncomfortable.
I think a doc is enough of a guarantee not to pressure Nemesis into giving results at this point. I also don't like your second point. Nemesis never said claiming two innocents guarantees the town a loss. I have no idea why you phrased it that way. He never said we didn't have to find scum and he never said the town would be guaranteed a win.TSAGod wrote: 1. A doc is no guarantee.
2. I still don't understand how claiming two innocents guarantees the town a loss, even including a three person mafia with godfather, and the two innocents being the gf and a doctor, quite possible the worst case scenario. I also am unsure how the town has a guaranteed win, as well. We still have to find all the scum.
Well I agree with the second part and I think we should be careful with asking for claim in case Nemesis can clear someone, but I'm not sure about the first part.Adele wrote:I reckon we should bandwagon to see how they react, and if it gets close to lynch and we're bandwagoning an innocent that Nemesis knows of, he steps in before (possibly directly before) that innocent is called upon to claim. To that end,
Vote: TSAGod
Seems overly cautious to me. Two votes on him does not spell danger. If he is speedlynched, scum will give themselves away. With the "SK" dead that does indeed mean lynch-or-lose tomorrow, but it'd be a completely unnecessary to take.Fuldu wrote:Because given the potential numbers he's talking about:VitaminR wrote:People? So far it's just me. And yes, pretty much. Why would he be lying?
...a one-for-one tradeoff with the town player dying first would probably be pretty good for scum right now. Now, I don't think the numbers are quite as drastic as what he's describing, but I'm not going to vote without a bit more information. I'm not averse to the idea of Thok claiming, but I think he should do it without vote pressure, because it isn't clear that vote pressure is safe right now.Pie_is_good wrote:Reason - because we have 9 alive and 3 or 4 scum left, meaning someone's going to need to change something or else we are going to lose.
I understand that the certainty was probably not justified, but do you genuinely feel this is enough to build a case around?Fuldu wrote:Sure, and that's the difference between "might mean lynch-or-lose tomorrow" and "does indeed mean lynch-or-lose tomorrow."
This is in response to Nemesis. He then proceeds to ignore what happens around TSAGod.StevieT92 wrote:We haven't lynched a scum yet, and you're talking about a confortable win?. We need all the information we have.
I didn't like this vote at the time and I don't like it now. Especially since he fails to respond to Adele's response to it. No comment at all until:StevieT92 wrote:Adele wrote: I reckon we should bandwagon to see how they react, and if it gets close to lynch and we're bandwagoning an innocent that Nemesis knows of, he steps in before (possibly directly before) that innocent is called upon to claim.

Vote: Adele
When you are bandwagonning to get a reaction, you don't go out and claim it. Either this is a bad play, or an attempt to warn your scumbuddies.
StevieT92 wrote:VitaminR wrote: I try to assume worst case scenario, because I think it's best to be prepared. That's why I always assume three scum in a 12-player game.
*shrug*
You seem to sure to not be scum, and all the other attacks on you, sounvote, vote:VitaminR
StevieT92 wrote:I would like to see this claim then, thanks. You have seemed to be getting more scummy lately, and you say you have some emphasis for a case on Thok.
Little productivity, no response when questioned.StevieT92 wrote:I think Thok's roleclaim is suffecient enough where we can lay off him at least for now.
At that point in the game, it felt it was enough to follow up with a pressure vote.Pie_is_good wrote: The evidence is not 100% conclusive, but it's pretty incriminating. My knowledge of his actions so far has been consistant with my knowledge of a scum's actions so far, and that's about all I can say on the subject without giving too much away. Also, I have a chance of catching him in a lie if he claims wrong.
The irony is beautiful. You're pushing me for low content votes (which you still haven't provided adequate examples of) and the support you're getting is equally low content (worse actually).Coron wrote:baaaaaa! Don't follow me like a sheep.Fuldu wrote:We're not going anywhere like this.
unvote: Adele; vote: VitaminR
Pie_is_good wrote:I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb and say this:Based on my role, I have a little bit of a reason to suspect Thok. I'd like to get a claim from him.
Is it so difficult to comprehend I followed him on that?Pie_is_good wrote:The evidence is not 100% conclusive, but it's pretty incriminating.My knowledge of his actions so far has been consistant with my knowledge of a scum's actions so far, and that's about all I can say on the subject without giving too much away.

Slightly vague, but it makes sense in principle.Coron wrote:He's been rather jumpy with votes with not much in terms of reasons all the time. Not to mention the way he's posting rubs me wrong.
One vote? So in the progression from claim to evidence the scope is already narrowed significantly. Where first it is a posting pattern, it is now one vote. Quoted without the questions I asked first, I might add.Coron wrote:VitaminR wrote:Well let's see where this leads us.
Unvote: TSAGod
Vote: Thok
Aside from the fact that you show no knowledge of what actually happened by completely misquoting pie, there is not much to this. 1) I assume was in response to my argument that it was a majority decision and is therefore pretty much irrelevant. 2) remains as the "salient" point. Presented in a nice ad hominem fashion, but there is a point here. My vote was "sheep-like."Coron wrote:1) those people could be scum
2) those people could be sheep like you BAAA!! BAAA!
ok, maybe I missed something here, but as far as I can tell pie's "information" was just a little, "he's acting too worried about cult"
Another misquote of Pie and the situation, it's 12 posts and 3 days later and you still aren't properly aware of the context of your evidence. But that doesn't matter, it's "sheep-like" again. This time based on the fact that I didn't make him claim it.Coron wrote:You followed someone who claimed to have "inconclusive evidence from their role", without even making them claim it.
Very sheeplike.
VitaminR wrote:Claiming it would have invalidated Thok's claim. It was obvious from the way he presented it Thok needed to claim first. He came forward unpressured asking the town to trust him. I did. That's not sheep-like. I considered what I knew and decided to trust him. Sheep-like is following without asking questions and without giving it thought.
I refute the reason behind your central point, the fact that I didn't make Pie claim before following, and you move on to outlining thought processes? Where does that come in?Coron wrote:How do I know if you think if you don't post anything about it in the thread?
Moving on to general strategy? What about the specific case we're talking about here?Coron wrote:Then how do you catch scum for sheeping(which is very easy and good for them).
That's stupid.
Now Pie had "circumstantial" evidence! The third misquote! It's now 21 posts and 3 days later and the context still eludes you.Coron wrote:VitaminR wrote:Could you expand on that a little bit? More precisely, how solid is this evidence?when they said cirumstantial after the first(well, what would have been worse than that) you vote anyway, saying only, let's see where this goes. Seems a lot like sheeping with a bit of cover up.VitaminR wrote:Well let's see where this leads us.
Unvote: TSAGod
Vote: Thok
Now it's terminology? First it was a posting pattern, then it was one vote, now it's the terminology in that one vote? Evidence abounds!Coron wrote:Is it difficult to comprehend thatthe terminologyyou used as your "logic" was very scummy?
5 words is incorrect. I asked 2 questions before it. Essentially this boils down to terminology again.Coron wrote:you say like 5 words and make a vote based on limited info, saying perhaps the easiest thing possible...
low content yes.
sheeplike, yes.
VitaminR wrote:Well let's see where this leads us.
I am not trying to use it as evidence that you shouldn't find me as suspicious. I'm using it to point out that all it did was apply pressure to get there quicker.Coron wrote:Yeah I admit I messed up on this one. I've stated that somewhere already I think though. Point stands though, even if something is "decided apon" by "the town" that doesn't mean you get to blindly follow it, which is what you were trying to use as evidence that I shouldn't be suspicious of you. Also note I wasn't trying to quote pie but rather some other person, can't seem to recall who at this point though.
I've admitted the vote was mostly superfluous. Just pressure to get things moving.Coron wrote:I admit the second part you have a point but yes, he did basically say he had circumstantial or inconclusive evidence, it's not a direct quote, but a quote of ideas. You could easily have asked for a claim without voting(omg! I never thought of that one!).
Really? How easy do you think fake tracker claims are to keep up?Coron wrote: for instance, once thok claimed he could have easily claimed tracker and gotten away without any trouble at all.
Apparently this is the only thing people react to. I've left out my win conditions, because I'm hoping there is a Black Mage out there, though I doubt it's a red herring, who has a similar mechanic and I don't want to reveal too much.Aelyn wrote:You're Fighter, the fighterest fighter in 8-Bit Theater. You want to help people, which is why you're a light warrior, and so is your bestest friend Black Mage. He's such a nice guy, you can't imagine what life would be like without him. If Black Mage gets lynched, and you're part of that lynch, you'll be so overcome with grief that you killed your besterest friend that you'll commit suicide.
I was pretty annoyed that he was speedlynched.VitaminR wrote:Oh.. and could you claim rolename, please?
