Open 38 - Jester Mafia 12p (Game Over!) - before 484

[distad]

Ok, I'm going to need some time to respond to that.

But before I do, I'd just like to say: Wow. 4 of you flew onto the fucking bandwagon and none of you are even flinching about it? Am I the only one here who's doing some actual scumhunting?

Which 4 people? There are only four people voting you. For you to say this, at least two people would have to be voting for you before the people "flew" to it for it to constitute a wagon.

But that seems rather off the current point.
Right now, you're at L-2.

I'm tempted to ask for a claim.

Really D3?

It doesn't look like he specifically asked for one. Take a look at my post again. I said, "I'm not fond of claiming without

actually

having been asked."

[d3sisted]

So you're saying you don't believe a claim just because it's premature?

[Blue Zebra]

Vote Count

d3sisted (5): Kerplunk, Numenorean7, Atticus, distad, Jimmy R
Atticus (2): somestrangeflea, PookyTheMagicalBear
PookyTheMagicalBear (1): ryan
ryan (1): JDodge

Not Voting: Nightfall, Jex, d3sisted

With 12 alive, it's 7 votes to lynch.

[Kerplunk]

I am back. No time to read everything, but I skimmed it and I see d3sisted claimed a townie role after Atticus was tempted to ask for it at L-2. But I have to reread better because I see that Atticus has gotten two votes as well.

[Blue Zebra]

Nightfall has been replaced by Max.

[distad]

I'm not saying that I don't believe a claim just because it's not asked for... but I'm FAR more suspicious of it.

[Max]

Now in this game the bit's i've read lead me to conclude

A) there should only be 2 members of the mafia and
B) D3sisted could be the jester,


A) is aimed at the mod
B) remember d3sisted is goading players to vote for him the jesters normally can win because they act protective (

Now Aticcus looks clean at the moment but we need to lynch someone, that will give us things to analyse today so we need to decide but carefully who should we lynch?

[Atticus]

There are 3 mafia members.

Okay, I assume Max isn't scum then.

[Jex]

Wow. ryan and Jex have both said "wow" about my PBPA, and Jimmy R seems almost convinced. This is making me a little nervous.

I'm still reading but wanted to respond to this. I said wow because a lot has happened and I feel like I've fallen way behind in this game. It wasn't anything to do with a single post.

[Jex]

I really don't like d3 and wouldn't mind him as the lynch of the day. However, I do feel it's important to look at some of the other players that may be sliding along silently.

I reread

atticus

as he has a couple of votes on him and I wanted to see why.

First off, why is max not scum in your book? I guess I just don't get how you came to that conclusion, and maybe I missed something, I don't know.

Second, atticus has been attacking d3 since he came to the game. He has not backed down from the argument, yet seems to bring little to the argument as well. I feel that he is too focused on d3. I don't know if this means scum or not, but I'd like to point it out. He analysis of all the players seemed really empty and not all that helpful.

Of course with reading atticus, I had to reread he predecessors:

TCS: made a lot of jokes, voted for himself, and was generally a strange player. We didn't get to see much of him during the important parts of the games (well anything after the random stage) so it's hard to tell what he may have been.

ojpower: never posted.

Also,

pooky

has been pretty quiet. He's thrown in some votes, and a lot of one liners. He doesn't seem to be adding a lot to the conversation (not that I'm one to speak as I've been gone) but it's really hard to get a feel for if he's scum or not.

Even more silent is

jdodge

who has posted 3 or 4 times with random votes and one liners.

prod jdodge please

That's all I really have time to do at this moment, but I want to read through more people in the next couple of days, and I urge others to do the same. As I said, I really don't like d3 and am fine with lynching him, but we want to get as much info as we can before the end of the day.

For now

vote atticus

I am busy moving and getting ready for school to start up in the next couple weeks, but I will try to be as active as I can.

[JDodge]

Still here. I'm just watching at the moment.

[Atticus]

I added nifty bolded numbers in parentheses.

(1): Does pooky's vote really count? He voted me without any reason.

(2): Because Max said that there should be two scum. If he were in the scum, he would know that there are three. Of course, he could just be very tricksy.

(3): As I see it, d3sisted is scum. Also, everything I have to say about his scumminess has been said. I see no reason to back off a conviction without good reason. Also, my analysis was just impressions. I'm not an analytical kind of guy.

[d3sisted]

JDodge, you've had your vote on ryan for a while now. Care to comment or are you just going to lurker your way through without contributing anything decent?

I also find it interesting how Max replaces in and his first priority is finding the Jester, not scum. But then he makes this comment comment "but we need to lynch someone, that will give us things to analyse today" showing that he does not care about the Jester at all, he just wants a lynch. In fact, I'd go as far as to say he doesn't care about whos Town either.

FoS: Max

[Jex]

(2): Because Max said that there should be two scum. If he were in the scum, he would know that there are three. Of course, he could just be very tricksy.

Or he's a part of the mafia and he forgot to count himself. There could be a number of reasons why he put 2. For all we know it was a typo and he hit the wrong button. It's not enough to say that he isn't scum.

[Numenorean7]

A) there should only be 2 members of the mafia
...
A) is aimed at the mod

I think he's saying the game would be more balanced if there were only 2 Mafia rather than 3.

[ryan]

Still here. I'm just watching at the moment.

Care to comment anymore than just "I'm here?"

[JDodge]

Not really.

I'm not saying I have nothing to contribute. I'm saying that there's nothing that I can contribute at this time that will have any bearing on anything at all.

Also, since this is an open setup, Blue Zebra isn't allowed to change it. I also think that jesters make it harder for the mafia, not the town.

[somestrangeflea]

Wo-uh... I mean, Egads! Numen's PBPA analysis on d3sisted was, in my opinion, fantastic.

As for the Max miscount, I have been in games where I've accidently miscounted and been correctly recognised as doing so. However, it's just as easy to "accidently" miscount, so I'm not reading very deeply into that, TBH...

You are still voting for ryan. Who is off the radar again. You don't want to put him on it again? It seems you think he is the most suspicious right now.
