My original intentions for the eractic behavior were primarly to see the reaction of GORCKAT and secondly test the reaction from the remainder of the players. With it only taking 6 to Lynch I was hoping that I would get to -1 and I do have to apologize to my fellow townies for hesitating to take my vote off it could have had dire consequences… Here is my train of thought…

I get the rationale, but your vote isn't going to replace oj.
MOD: Has oj been prodded? Did he tell you he was going to be away? Will he be replaced?
Already started looking for a replacement since yesterday. -Mod
vote: Nelly
Nice jump on volkan's request without any added content. What's up with that? Especially with people (single or plural- I forget how many actually made it official) were suspicious of your quick lynch comment.
Actually, Nelly's comment is only a shade different from The Hermit going after oj...
The roughest thing DFN has done is that misquote. Certainly adds weight to the case against him.
This is what began my suspicion of Gorckat because yes I did state that I would have no problem voting off someone who acted like this but Hermit actually placed the vote for this reason and yet Gorckat placed a vote on me for this reason and not him… So I thought “What would Gorckat do if someone simply brushed off the game and voted for themselves?” Woul he place a vote for this person thus contradicting his reason for voting me or would he stick to his guns and question why I am acting like this… (Also like I said above it would serve two purposes because I could possiblt narrow my list of scum down to 5, those five being the people who attempt to have me quick lynched)
Post 124 is my voting of myself,post 125 is the first response and that is from CURIOUSKARMADOG and he wrote…
what?
that is your contribution to this game?
Very Pro-Town comment instead of saying “Well screw it if he is giving up and voting for himself then I am also” you question me in a shocked manner… Good response in my eyes…
Post 126 blows major monkey balls in my eyes…
Right...
vote: Nelly632
Clearly I could have been voting for the other Nelly in the game. See ya in a few days, I guess.
Now what the hell do I do? One of the main reasons I started this was to get a read on him but he is going away for a few days… That is the way the cookie crumbles I guess, he reaffirms his vote for me and then takes off, yes I would have liked a little more from him but he was probably in a rush to go somewhere so I get short changed… Now time to make my secondary focus my primary focus…
Post 127 & 128 are about other stuff except one small message from CuriousKarmaDog who says he is waiting for some contribution from myself and Hermit… So I quote this in post 129 and try to see how he and everyone reacts…
Beautiful post 130 is our first mention of a JESTER from my dear friend pulse width and with this post he is on my radar…
He is either a smart townie or a smart scum (Yeah funny I didn’t learn much but I do think he is smart at this point)… Post 132 comes with a vote from Elias_the_thief and the strange thing in the post is that he finds both Hermit and myself scummy but votes for me instead… My thoughts are he is Scum and he sees us both as scummy but sees a possible quick lynch on me and that is appealing to him…
FOS Elias_the_thief
Post 133 is me being a prick to see some reactions, in my mind the people who get really upset are less scummy then the people who take it in stride… Karma Dog once again questions me instead of voting for me, this is a great sign in my eyes… He has more then enough reasons to vote for me now he could simply say…
“I ask and I ask you simple questions but you refuse to answer so now you leave me no choice but to vote for you Nelly”
But instead he stay patient and gives me some chances to get myself out of hot water, very pro-town move…

Unvote vote: nelly
I've seen this done before saying "would scum do this", plus claiming without pressure...I don't like it.
You have seen this done before, FOR REAL! I don’t recall ever saying “Would scum do this”… What I did was put you too a choice SIR and instead of questioning me and trying to get something out of me before you vote you simply VOTE for me because you don’t like it…

Unfortunately(unless he's mafia), he's forced our hand. It's 100% necessary to lynch someone who doesn't play.
that puts him at -3 I believe
I have never lynched a MOB member on day one either, I can actually get over the entire forcing of the hand comment because it can make sense in a way, it being 100 % necessary to lynch me is a big stretch but the biggest scum tell in my eyes is someone bring to the attention of everyone that someone else is close to a lynch…
CuriousKarmaDog WELCOME TO MY TOWNIE LIST with post 137 & 138 he comfirms in my eyes that he is TOWN… He can easily drop the hammer on me at this point and in day two brush it off by simply saying that he had no choice but he doesn’t… Instead he asks for a replacement so that we don’t lose a townie… Good Job sir… At this point I take my vote off after being a little stupid and one thing that got me was this post by Elias_The_Thief…
um, yes? we would?
Para, I mean that will get evidence later in the game, and I will use the previous suspicion in later cases.
Whats with the question mark… Explination marks maybe but question mark are questionable LOL I made a funny… But no seriously what is up with this…
Pulsewidth follows this post with the same Jester comment leaving me still with no read of him but no vote from him either so that is always good… Him not hammering is a good sign…
Karma Dog wrote:
if you are a townie..and you see yourself at -1...why would you not remove your vote and help the town?
what do you think about the vote surge on you?
DO you want out of the game?
No matter what happens to me this guy needs to be listen to no matter what… Post 146 is a great question aimed at Elias about why he hasn’t removed his vote. Post 147 is like he is reading my mind he is asking all the questions that I would ask. Post 148 makes me feel like I actually did something right, Sir Tornado starts to ask questions to the people who voted for me…

What need is there to pull off?
1) If he's actually protown, he'll pull his own vote off when the town requests.
2) Would you expect any protown player to make the mistake and lynch him after your post about how the votecount was wrong and how quicklynches are bad? scum could do it, yes, but scum can't afford the 1 for 1 trade like the town can, so if scum hammered it would be a good thing.
By letting Nelly take off his vote and leaving mine we at least keep some semblance of pressure on him. Furthermore, at the time he put his vote on me, he had not promised any content.
First I don’t remember voting for you and if you are under the impression I did then doesn’t that make your vote scummy like the only reason you are voting for me is because I voted for you… Kind of like school yard junk… Secondly this entire post looks like someone trying to backtrack…

Nelly's first vote was random. He has since decided that he wants to be flippant, rude, and basically a very poor player. Scummy? No. Anti-town? Why, yes! I'd be voting for him if I didn't hold out a glimmer of hope that he will come to his senses and/or be replaced.
Yes sir senses have been come to sorry to make you worry but nice job not trying to put me back on the hammer…

There are two possibilities here:
1) Your little voting for yourself thing was just complete idiocy (whether you are pro-town or scum); or
2) You did it to demonstrate something about people's voting habits.
So far, the only thing I have gleaned is that Oman was 4th on both the DFN and Nelly wagons. Plus, ST has already remarked that Oman's vote for Nelly was somewhat rushed.
Furthermore, it is interesting that Para (the replacement of OJ) is the one to put Nelly at L-1.

I really don't like this. For the reasons given by ckd and for the fact that you are expressing regret about it. There is no need for us to lynch Nelly. In all honesty, his little stunt might actually provide some good information, as I have indicated above.
I don't think the Jester scenario is likely given that the role distribution was given at the start. It would hardly be fair for us to be told one thing but for other stuff to be slipped in.
Also,
DFN looks to have disappeared. This strengthens the argument that he was just an odd newbie player and, as such, I don't think it can be said that his actions necessarily speak of scumminess. Unvote .
Volkan WELCOME TO MY TOWNIE LIST this is by far the best post of the game, once again another player who seems to be in my head…

What are you talking about? Suspicion != scumminess. You can't lynch me later because the player I replace was suspected, you have to show that hte suspicion was warranted. He had alot of suspicion, but show me how anything OJ did is scummy. That was my point. How can I inherit OJ's suspicion when he wasn't scummy?
curiouskarmadog wrote:
did you miscount?
Yes. I didn't realize he was near a lynch so I made casual and incomplete count (SURE BUDDY YOU DIDN’T KNOW). My fault entirely. But take notice that I said, "I believe." It's important to account for human error.
I find it a little pointless to bother asking players if they're doing things for antitown purposes; the answer is always "no"
As a note, I obviously didn't realize I was putting him at -1, but like I said, unless he starts actually playing, we're gonna lynch him anyway (Seems like someone is awfully hell bent on lynching me).

this is by far the scummiest sentences thus far in this game...
100% necessary? Forced our hand? -3?
If he doesnt want to post then he is replaced...someone is hungry for a lynch..why is that?...
If anyone here is hungry for a lynch, it's you, for me, because you seem pretty damn worried about your little friend Nelly and quick to deflect suspicion to me.
Anyway if ABR is willing to replace Nelly, then that's that, but I am against it for ethical reasons. I don't believe in replacing except for disapearing and direct gamebreaking.(Seems like only scum would not want to replace someone playing like I was)
If we let someone live who isn't gonna post any content then we have no way of knowing if they're mafia. Therefore we will never lynch them, and are possibly letting mafia have a vote all game along with their free pass. Therefore the only logical choice is to lynch him now. I'd say there's a slightly higher chance that he's a townie since mafia seem less likely to end up bored and experimenting in games. But hey, it's not that much worse odds than the average day 1 lynch.

1. It's not regret, it's sadness because I prefer actually playing to having to lynch someone acting like a fool. It makes no sense to regret somthing you're going to do/are doing
2. If he decides to play or was just acting, then fine (Lets see if he holds to these words), I had no way of knowing that. But otherwise if he doesn't give viable content then we can't let him get away with that. Note:

I've played in a game where a player acted extremely enigmatic. We let it go because he didn't actually make any suspicious votes. In the end it turned out he was mafia. He had taken advantage of our willingness to believe he was actually cunningly scum hunting when he was really just sitting back and posting BS all game. Maybe that's why I'm so unwilling to accept this now.

With that said, Paradoxombie has just jumped to the top of my scumlist for putting Nelly at -1, conveniently not knowing what the proper vote count was.
Unvote, Vote: Paradoxombie
You think that Nelly is acting SO scummy that he is likely a Jester, but unscummy enough that me putting him at -1 is suspect? WTF,dude?
Vote: Paradoxombie
I read somewhere that even if you are lynched in a game of Mafia and the TOWN wins in the long run you still win regardless if you are dead, which is why it is good sometimes to make sacrifices for the good of the town… Yeah with my erratic behavior and my post I might still face lynching but at least townies like Karma and Volkan have something to go on now….
