InuYasha Mafia (Game Over)

[Venmar]

Lol bulba, step to me

hahaha

Are you scum or something Sven?

[Always]

Mala here. Although likely better for me to post tommorow after I focus on reading the posts I skimmed while on vacation.

[Moogle Dance Troupe]

Will post more thoughts tomorrow when I have some time at work, but I'm still alive.

I was kind of hoping to bounce things off kaze, but he appears to be out for the rest of the game for personal reasons, so all moogle posts are kagami henceforth.

I'd love to see a BoP lynch, xof is next best and currently most viable scum-lynch, lemniscate third. Shos is town.

The Y&B wagon is disbanding in an unnaturally slow way that makes me think that players who were on it don't have a good wagon to jump to.

[Always]

Mastin here. Unlike Mala, I will be posting stuff tonight. But it will be a bit of a mess, since admittedly, I fell quite a bit behind. (Okay, so I did catch a few random details here and there, but I haven't been following along actively, meaning that if there were 500 or so posts since my last, I'd reckon I've read something like 25 of them. That's a fairly good guess at a ballpark figure.) And I will only skim when it's appropriate to do so.

[Always]

Oh, only 11 pages. Not too terribly much; thought it was more. Butyeah, not exactly a light catch-up.

[Mist7676]

Ok

[Lord Mhork]

Mist my townish read on you is basically gone at this point. What the hell are you doing?

[Mist7676]

I am basically not paying any attention to the game! I have not played in a large game in a

long

while, and I forget what pace it goes at. I've been really busy, and was not happy to see that the pages have piled up. But, I refuse to allow myself to replace out. I just decided to give up on Day 1 and try and play the best game possible Day 2.

[AngryIcerink]

We are back from V/LA now, but I may not be able to post until late Monday.

Wait why do you think scum have day talk, mastin

Because they do.

holy fucking shit, Hs is town. there's no way scum would go through all the trouble to make such post.

Do kinda agree with this.

It is ludicrous how hard it is to get a shos lynch.

Maybe because, y'know. shos is town.

Like it should be obvious why I just want the day to end, don't be stupid.

Nope, not really.

Mastin it's been 67 pages, stop wasting time with a vote one me pls

Don't think it's a waste, sorry.
...Okay, maybe it is a waste in that it probably won't go to lynch, but it's a vote on scum I'm fairly sure.

Can I just float to Day 2? Please? I have like no content other than, I'm ok with Y&B Lynch

Vote: Young And Beautiful

For the record, I know Y&B's claim. And given that, this vote is hella-sketch.

Young and Beautiful 10 (Birds of Prey, HighShroomish, The Goat, xofelf, shos, TSO, geists, Abomination, Mist7676, Lord Mhork)

xofelf 5 (Egg, ActionDan, AngryIcerink, Moogle Dance Troupe, BBmolla)
Lemniscate 4 (Squirrel Girl, Svenskt Stål, ProHawk, Nero Cain)
shos 3 (BulbaFenix, Majiffy, Venmar)
Nero Cain 2 (Squirrel Girl, neil1113)
TSO 1 (Young and Beautiful)
Abomination 1 (Katsuki)
Lord Mhork 1 (Lemniscate)
Always 1 (beastcharizard)
BBmolla 1 (Always)

Birds, Goat, xofelf, and Mist all are figures of extreme interest here; TSO is a figure of minor interest.
When it comes to the xofelf wagon, only name of interest is BBMolla, though maybe Egg needs another view to be safe.
Leminiscate wagon, though...not exactly liking the names there. Like, at all.

[Always]

I'm town. If you don't believe me, cop me.

I do have a small issue--didn't you claim friendly neighbor?

Why ask for the cop, then? You already send the name of a person to confirm your alignment each night.

[Young and Beautiful]

I didn't want to softclaim. That would be counterproductive considering that I clear myself at night anyway.

By revealing my role out into the open, as you guys have forced my slot to already, it means that I am very prone to scum-night-shenanigans now. Great.

Ok, so as useless as Y&B are, I think they're actually right about two of their scumreads, probably by chance. I'm about 95% on both BoP and xof for scum (which is about as high as I go).

Xof's reaction to her wagon was not a town reaction, it's the reaction of scum who has a lot of partners (I'm also 95% that this is 20-7-1). She wasn't afraid of a mislynch, nor aggressive toward her attackers, because she knows they're all town. Her reaction to being wagoned in part for lurking is to lurk it off, which is of course going to be successful, because there's conveniently a player whom

nobody

is townreading and who is also being deliberately obnoxious. Conveniently, that wagon starts up nicely and goes full blast with no resistance.

And this

We got one week to get the rest of the votes needed.

is a request for sheeps from the town, because the wagon is already laden with scum, and at least one of those "almost deadline" votes is going to be "terrible" tomorrow.

Bulb is still also scum; wake-slot is probably scum if he wasn't WoTC'ed. One of the other votes on the Y&B wagon is scum, and it's not geists, shos, TSO, or mhork.

Really like this post, too.

[Always]

UNVOTE:
VOTE: Young and Beautiful
After the past couple of pages, I'm okay with this direction.

Then again, however much I may not like the Lemi wagon...this vote kinda sucks.

[Always]

From a brief skim of the

Young and Beautiful

iso I am less than optimistic about the outcome.
Here is a

curve ball

from my

magic 8ball

,

neil1113

is

scum

Yeahno. neil's town.

Why these reads?

It's not even your behavior that makes you scum, and since apparently your into observing reactions rather than enciting them (I'm the same way!), this should be evident.

Nobody, nobody at all, has townread Y&B this game, and for good reason. They are clearly being deliberately useless; they decided to sign up as an anonymous hydra and see if they could get by blowing kisses and acting cutesy.

Unfortunately, they're probably town for roughly the same reason that you're probably scum. The circumstances of the wagons surrounding your slots coupled with the very high probability of a seven-man scumteam make Y&B the scum designated mislynch. Even the timing of it is awful, and plays directly into the "only a week left!" rubbish.

The constituency of the wagon is awful. Of the 11 names there, only geists, TSO, shos, and mhork are townreads. Does anyone seriously believe this is a town-driven wagon? I considered the possibility that this is all a big bus on a liability, but even that seems unlikely, because it's a hard-counterwagon to xolf, which makes little sense regardless of her alignment.

This is how I feel about shos vs. xofelf, by the way.

[geists]

If you don't like the lemniscate wagon then you don't like Nati. This interests me greatly.

[Always]

Shos or Nero.
Hmm.

Why did it become shos vs. Nero instead of Nero vs xofelf vs BoP?

shos is a horrible wagon. I was glad to have it dead, but one post I caught post-claim was a VC showing its reemergence.

[Always]

I really want Bulba to be town here.

So do I.

Not sure 'bout that, though.

[Always]

If you don't like the lemniscate wagon then you don't like Nati. This interests me greatly.

Nah, I like your slot.

It's just I'm not fond of your company.

I don't really even oppose the Lemi wagon on principle of Lemi's "play".
Just have hesitation thanks to those wagoning the slot aside from you.

[The Goat]

Responding to prod. I have pretty much taken as many vacation days and long weekends and such as I'm going to until the end of the summer; I'll hopefully be more useful from this point forward.

[The Goat]

unvote.

[ProHawk]

If you don't like the lemniscate wagon then you don't like Nati. This interests me greatly.

Or ProHawk. Other problem, weren't you an advocate of multi-ball at one point? I will evaluate the other players on this wagon as well...

[geists]

I was certainly entertaining the possibility based on action dan's post.

kagami(?) thinks the way the Y&B wagon took off there at its height looked kinda like a 7 player scumteam.

I hate trying to sort that stuff without flips. I want to lynch a strong scumread and let god sort multiball out.

[Moogle Dance Troupe]

That's actually more reinforcing a belief I have based on AD's earlier post.

Ceph likes the band of seven enough to have made one of them his avatar for some period. AD says his pm refers to the band of seven. Beast has claimed poisonproof, and poison makes a lot of sense with mukotsu.

Ceph made a game with 28 slots, knowing that it would be difficult to fill and time-consuming to mod, and he made no indication that he would compromise on the game size (which does happen sometimes when games aren't filling as quickly as desired).

My role PM refers directly to Naraku, it doesn't say anything about his incarnations or anything like that being in the game.

All points to 20-7-1, to my mind.

[HighShroomish]

Okay, well, um, this is an interesting situation.

One does not simply have less posts than me. But in this game like six people do.
Really, I'm usually the lowest poster in a game. I don't care how big it is, having over ten posts less than me is an outrage. Especially for having been in the game since the start.
