Why did you feel the need to random vote when you actually had a suspect for what you claimed were real reasons? That looks to me as though you're trying to "fit in", and Town shouldn't have to try.AlyG wrote:Any reason at all why you have just piled a 3rd vote on me? It's only the first page and you seem a bit eager to vote here. Maybe scum trying to keep pressure away from themselves?FOMS: theopor_COD
Anyway time for a random vote.Vote: somestrangeflea
Unvote

I am waiting on CLA before commenting further...Gorgon wrote:Okay, so CLA has been prodded, but we have more absentees:
AlyG

somestrangeflea
Also, AlyG and somestrangeflea have both been active in other games since they've posted here. In the case of AlyG, this is particularily suspicious, since he was under some scrutiny as a recall. And yeah, I know this poking around will probably bug you, SSF, but I would like to hear from you regarding recent developments, if only it's something like Theo said; that you're waiting on CLA or someone else before commenting futher.-

I agree with the bolded point entirely. However, the way I see it, AlyG was trying to not get flagged by acting similarly to everyone else by random voting. Yes, AlyG was trying to do something that wouldn't get flagged in any way, but I thought that he had simply failed at that.cicero wrote:But then Flea, the recipient of the random vote, comes along and questions that logic. But in no way do I see how scum would benefit from such a reaction. Nor do I see ANY rationale behind the assertion that this is the move that a scum who was trying to look town would make. Just the opposite.I expect scum to try very hard not to do anything that might get flagged at all.Put simply I personally would have been more likely to do what AlyG did if I was town than if I was scum.
Quite true. I seem to have a tendancy to look harder for holes in other's arguments against me.cicero wrote:Finally, I notice that Flea has a tendency to OMGUS. He voted for AlyG after AlyG randomly voted for him and has just voted for me after I made this case of suspicion against him. I bring this to the town's attention not as a scum tell, but to suggest you keep it in mind when assessing his motivation for any further votes. Not that they will continue being OMGUS (after reading this he'll be unlikely to do that) but because if he IS a townie, he seems to have an emotional knee jerk elements to his voting.

To be fair, that's a pretty WIFOM point. Some scum have a tendency to "buddy up" with townies.Prof. Guppy wrote:2. He seems to want to derail the bandwagon on flea, that suggests he an flea are in concort w/ each other.
Please come up with your own arguments. Suspecting people based on what "you've heard" are scumtells is incredibly poor. Otherwise, I'd be suspecting you because you gave a numbered list.Prof. Guppy wrote:3. Flea has been lurking on purpose. I've heard that is a big scumtell.I've heardthat's a scumtell...
No I'm not. I suppose that's pretty easy to miss though. Except you didn't...Prof. Guppy wrote:4. He's leaving his vote on AlyG, and I'm not sure why.
Is this not effectively OMGUS voting on behalf of someone else?Prof. Guppy wrote:5. Flea is currently voting on Cicero, who I think is town. That smells of scum to me.
That's a pretty poor conclusion to jump to...Prof. Guppy wrote:I wasn't feeling the flea wagon at first, but then I began to question why theo was defending him. The conclusion I came to was that they must be scumbuddies.
I call it opportunistic scum, going after both the popular wagons, in the hope thatProf. Guppy wrote:The reason I'm voting for flea and not theo is because he's more likely to get lynched right now. Call it what you will, I call it playing the field.oneof them will get deaded...

The above is an acceptable viewpoint...cicero wrote:And yes, I reserve the right to change my mind based on your future posts.
The below is not...
Since when were you the sole judge of what is and isn't a scumtell? Especially regarding your own actions?cicero wrote:And yes, I can see inconsistencies with my earlier opinions too - and NO it doesn't make me scummy
1. Your "strangle" list is just a list of people who have fallen inactive. I don't feel that this classes as lurking. Not only that, but I can simply remedy this by sayingMod: Prod Daedalus.
2. Your "should consider lynching" is just a list of people who have lurked at some point in the game. AlyG hasn't posted in 3 days, so I'm going to postMod: Prod AlyG, and, apart from my lurking, you don't actually have anything on me.
Other than lurking, you have very little on anyone, TBH. Put all your points on your top suspects into a single post, and you may get a response addressing them
As for Eroto, I'm gonnaUnvote, but I will be keeping a close eye on you. I have this theory that players who subtly refuse to answer questions directed at them are scum. Don't take this too heavily at the moment though. It's just a theory, and I'm quite tempted to just throw out everything PJ has said under the impression that it's all just total bullshit.-

That's fine, but that's not inconsistency, per se. Provided you can actually back up your points properly, and you don't switch within 2 posts from OBVTOWN to VOTE: XXXX, then "inconsistency" is fine.cicero wrote:The reason I need to be inconsistent, as all townies often are, is because of continuing evidence.-

Just to clarify this (cicero bork'd his tags), White said the above, not me...cicero wrote:
I would say it is the kind of claim that won't get contradicted, which is the only kind he COULD make on day 1 if he was scum.somestrangeflea wrote:
However, seems kinda odd for a scum to claim a useless role(on day1) so i'm going tounvote: AlyGfor now. You're not off the hook by any means though.-

But AlyG isn't inactive, that's the problem. He's not contributing anything to the game, and he's posting just enough to avoid replacement.shaka!! wrote:I find this ridiculous, you are all wasting your time on the inactive players, if you ask me, just get them replaced. Borchmore, Battle Mage and now Kakeng is scum.
It has the most solid argument yet the rest of you just keep on throwing theories out at the inactive players. HAS NO ONE NOTICED THAT KAKENG HAS BEEN INACTIVE TO?-

Fortunately? That sounds like the language of someone who's worried their case isn't sticking.cicero wrote:Fortunately Flea and Battlemage could still be scum. I am pretty much convinced that Flea is scum at this point though. You voted for him as well at one point as I recall.
You have no case on me. You're just throwing my name into almost every post and acting as though it's relevant.
Shaka!!'s post didn't mention me, yet your next post brings me up.
White's 387 has nothing to do with me, at all, yet you still manage to throw my name into your next post.
White's 356 has nothing to do with me, yet you manage to throw my name into your next post.

Done.cicero wrote:Heh. Maybe I would be less suspicious if you quit ObvOMGUSing and rolled up your sleeves and showed that you could do a little scumhunting.
Why?cicero wrote:EITHER you AND Aly are scum OR Aly is town and you are scum.
Because it's not relevant.cicero wrote:Let's assume that was true, why would it be bad to continue to bring the town's attention to it?
I can continuously write "...but cicero is scum." at the end of all my posts about White*, but it won't strengthen my case against you, and it's irrelevant to White, so why post it?

No, I mean I have, you're just annoyed because it's you that I'm going for.cicero wrote:No. You really haven't. Do you mean you are planning to?
Is this a widely held viewpoint?cicero wrote:Because your case against Aly was ridiculous.
No...cicero wrote:Discussion: Who we should lynch.
Irrelevant Response: I like pizza
Relevant Response: I haven't stopped suspecting Flea.
Discussion: I don't think AlyG would fakeclaim.
Your response: Let's lynch flea.
Discussion: You want to lynch an uncountered power role?
Your response: Yes. Also, here's something Flea said, that is unrelated to Aly's claim.
Precisely, because White hasn't bombarded me with bullshit.White wrote:Of course not. You wouldn't vote for White until he voted for you. After that though, he'd better watch out. You're the OMGUS king, dude.

If you have three people who are, in your mind, cleared from being scum, you have three too many. Clearing one player, without investigations or whatever, isn't very good, let alone three!cicero wrote:
No I won't. But I agree. This is pointless. You watch your temper and I'll watch mine and the three of us, who I firmly believe are all town... well actually I firmly believe Shaka is town town and I think you are but need to look closer... can do some scum hunting. And since I *highly* doubt that you actually think I'm scum, you might want to put it somewhere useful instead of waving it around like a bat.White wrote:Why do I feel like this game has deteriorated to townies bickering amongst themselves while the scum are absently watching? What is this game being played by? 12 people? *jaw hits the floor* How about 5 people.
This is stupid. Cicero, calm down or you're incriminate yourself beyond repair.
I try not too, it ruins my day...shaka!! wrote:Some Strange Flea what do you think about BM?
I find it incredibly hard to read BM, since his playstyle is just plain weird to me... That being said, scummy is scummy, regardless of playstyle.
Yeah...shaka!! wrote:You've only argued with Cicero over I have no idea I've forgotten now.
I'm not very comfortable with the fact that me and Cicero effectively got "SHUTUPPLXKTHX"...-

Prof. Guppy's play was incredibly scummy, no doubt about it, and neither of the replacements have actually contributed very much (although I imagine Skruffs will). I have noticed that PG's crimes seem to have been paid less attention to after he replaced out, which seems kinda weird...Jester wrote:a) the argument over Prof. Guppy's play;
I'm on White's side in this argument... However, something else I've noticed is that this game does seem to have, or has had, a number of volatile players.

Other than the keyword "argument", there's nothing about the two posts which are in anyway related to each other.

1. During the beginning of the game, they were the least most talkative, if that makes sense.

3. Became even less talkative after I voted on them.
I don't see why everyone is making such a fuss over it. It seems that this one vote on shaka!! is more important than the jordan bandwagon, which I still see no apparent reasoning for.-

In the recent 18 pages, I've been steadily finding this game more and more difficult to care about.jester wrote:You could help mitigate this somewhat by... you know... actually playing. Most of your posts are one-liners, and most are responses to things directed at you. You've started answering questions directed at you, which is good, but you're not asking any of your own questions or giving opinions without being prompted, which is bad. cicero hits it on the head in his 631: you're not scum-hunting, you're just lying there. Unlike our other lurkers, you're active enough that you could be playing, but you're not.
Once again, you're throwing your opinion of me in when it is unnecessary. Stop it.cicero wrote:To address Flea's concern which seems to concerns you - (because my behavior is oh so much scummier than fleas(/eyeroll) - I am still scumhunting.
I keep my vote on you because I keep finding more reasons to, and any time I do, you claim that I'm not scumhunting. You, on the other hand, appear to have stopped trying to build your case against me, and simply assumed that your current one will suffice...cicero wrote:Not vote me. I replied to Flea that way because if *I* was guilty of it (which I wasn't) he was *more* guilty of what he was accusing me of. so, at best he's all at once a hypocrite and by his own logic a better lynch target than me. I thought that was clearly inferrable from my response, but I'm happy to have clarified.

I agree that a backup is terribly swingy, it's essentially a combined Deputy/Nurse. Skitzer appears to believe that there are at least three, judging by his use of "another" instead of "the other". Surely you must know that a Nurse themselves is seen by many as unbalancing, so I'm not sure that you genuinely believe that this is a setup which could, potentially, have a backup backup backup Doc. Or a backup backup backup Cop. Or a back up Doc and a back up back up Cop. Etc.theopor_COD wrote:I still think Skitzer's the play.
You think it's likely we have two backups huh? Usually town has 2/3 power roles - imagine being scum spotting the doctor only to find out there's another one or the cop for instance.Skitzer wrote:I am a Backup. When any power role dies, I may PM to replace them, but I don't have to. I believe that there is more than one. I think pwayne isanother, due to his uneasiness about voting for one.

Hmm. It seems Thesp's essay was written a lot earlier than I thought it was... The "surely you must know..." was a bit condescending, and now wrong, so apologies due there...cicero wrote:
Wow. This actually looks sort of like scumhunting.somestrangeflea wrote:
I agree that a backup is terribly swingy, it's essentially a combined Deputy/Nurse. Skitzer appears to believe that there are at least three, judging by his use of "another" instead of "the other". Surely you must know that a Nurse themselves is seen by many as unbalancing, so I'm not sure that you genuinely believe that this is a setup which could, potentially, have a backup backup backup Doc. Or a backup backup backup Cop. Or a back up Doc and a back up back up Cop. Etc.theopor_COD wrote:I still think Skitzer's the play.
You think it's likely we have two backups huh? Usually town has 2/3 power roles - imagine being scum spotting the doctor only to find out there's another one or the cop for instance.Skitzer wrote:I am a Backup. When any power role dies, I may PM to replace them, but I don't have to. I believe that there is more than one. I think pwayne isanother, due to his uneasiness about voting for one.
Vote: skitzer
If the Kakeng replacement situation doesn't improve, I will advocate his lynch, purely in an attempt to get this game out of stasis...
/snark off.
I agree with your target and conclusion here Flea but not your reasoning. Do you really think Skitzer is thinking at the level of weighing game balance? I mean you have seen how skitzer plays and yet you wrote "surely you must know that a nurse themselves is seen by many as unbalancing". I didn't know that and I think it's fair to say that I have a greater grasp of the proceedings than Skitzer shall we say.
Do you think he is better at Mafia than he is letting on?
However, I do stand by my point though thatthreebackups does seem like a scum overkill, and I do believe that skitzer would realisethat. Gives me a slight hint of rolefishing, TBH...-

I is back from holiday! Huzzah!
Thoughts on the kills:
I agree thoroughly with the theory that Gorgon was vigged, and that Jester was killed by the Mafia and an SK, mainly because I don't really see an alternative.
Agreed. Limited-shot Vig, perhaps..?HackerHuck wrote:Vig plus backup also seems a bit much, but not unbelievable.
Thoughts on... uhm... other things:
To be fair, I don't see that as a particularly bad reason to be voting for someone. You pushed a point which eventually turned out to be false, which is what the Mafia are trying to do.Skruffs wrote:you are voting me for incorrectly out-guessing the mod.-

Not once did I say "most suspicious". I stand by the point that it is a slight scumtell if you push something which turns out to be wrong. Of course, town makes mistakes too, which is why it's only a slight scumtell...Skruffs wrote:Ssf - humm. So my vote was the most suspicious because i pushed a point that turned out to be false, right, which was that his claim was probably not a role in a normal mini?
Not sure what you're getting at...Skruffs wrote:Nobody else's reasoning was as faulty as that?

I love you.HackerHuck wrote:Cicero's tunneling has me a little worried. SSF was one of my suspects, but I'm also getting a wierd feeling about how Cicero is playing his cards.
Cicero, I am of the opinion that trying to guess the rationale behind NK is so WIFOMy that it becomes a null tell.
Such as..?cicero wrote:- Flea's case against AlyG was scummy and filled with bad bent logic that seemed disingenuous
So, town aren't allowed to be wrong,cicero wrote:- AlyG turned up townever?
I won't argue with that. Jester was a solid player, and it sucks to see him dead. But, and without going into heavy WIFOM territory, how does incriminate me?cicero wrote:- The townie looking guy investigating Flea turned up dead.
My last vote for you was removed on the 11th October, almost one whole month ago. I then voted for Kakeng, who was not voting, and has never voted for me. I then voted for skitzer, who was voting for you, and hascicero wrote:- Flea has only ever OMGUSSed since then andnevervoted for me, so that's not OMGUS either.
Your use of the phrase "only ever" is complete and utter BS.
Prove it.cicero wrote:- has no actual appetite for scumhunting.
See above.cicero wrote:- and just actively lurks.
This is an Appeal to Majority, and not an argument.cicero wrote:- and a bunch of you agrees that he looks really scummy..-

Sorry guys. I seem to be falling out of some of my games recently. This isn't the only game of mine to suffer. I won't reference specific games, but if you browse around you'll find them easily enough...
Cicero, I don't think it's fair that you agree with me that Jester's death is a null tell, before telling Skruffs that its not a town tell, and then maintaining that is is a scum tell.
Pwayne, your 858 isn't an analysis. You've summarized my posts and added some top notch sarcasm, but this:
seems to be the only thing you've actually added...pwayne wrote: (INTERUPTION:WHo is thesp anyway?)
Thesp wrote an essay about the severe brokenness of the Nurse role, which I attempted to apply here.
I see. I think we're going to have to agree that we are at an impasse with regards to that situation. I saw AlyG's vote as having scummy logic behind it, you disagree and find me scummy for bandwagonning and OMGUSing. [/argument]cicero wrote:Such as in the case I initially made against you which interested parties can read by using the drop down menu and reading my posts on the subject starting at my 19, 21 and particularly 23. Incidentally clicking the tiny white square in the upper left of any post will open the whole thread so you can see things in context.
For your first Q, please link me to what you're referring to. I assume you can remember where it is...cicero wrote:Who do you like in the Pwayne vs. Skruffs argument and why? What do you think of Skruffs overall? What do you think of White? Who do you think are scum in this game - and why?
For your other 3, I'll reread the thread soon and answer. I hope...
Lurking - there's a huge difference between intending to do something andpwayne wrote:@SSF- What I see right off the bat is intentional lurking and a flippant attitude towards it. Several "joking" OMGUSs also. These are basic scumtells but you seem to do them deliberately. Why?wantingto do something. I intend to go to work tomorrow, but I don't want to...
I felt I've made it clear that, at the time in question (around pages 6-10, IIRC), the lurking was intentional due to the nature of the conversation at the time. I wanted to post, but felt it would be unproductive and distracting from the topic at hand.
OMGUS - Different reasons for different votes. Find me specific votes you're interested in please!
I don't think it's fair to pick out 2 specific people to compare me to. Compared to the game as a whole, I'm fairly active, you said so yourself. Why is it that I'm scummy simply because I haven't been keeping up with you and cicero?pwayne wrote:It is worth mentioning that while doing his PBPA, flea is responsible for 3 of our 35 pages. Nearly 10% and more than his share of the 12 people would require. But compared to me (5) pages and Cicero (7), SSF is lurking.
I agree with cicero that mod-kills and deadlines are needed soon. I realise that I'm being anti-town, but I am always more pro-game than pro-alignment.
TS's entry to the game was... different, to say the least. Advocating your own lynch can never be a good thing...
