It was the same randomness as usual. If someone ends up voting for you non-randomly and put you at lynch -1, then yes, you should start worrying and talk your way out. As for now, nothing serious. Yet, my random vote could have fallen on Happiest Sadist or Dark Lady, and this would put him or her in an uncomfortable position...
At first glance, I would vote No Lynch at the beginning, since we have absolutely no clue, but it seems like it's normal practice to random vote until we get some more information...-

By the way, Dark Lady:
Do you mind sharing about how it's "surprisingly informative"?Yeah......voting for me is surprisingly informative......Either the two of you are messing with me, or your scum together..... I shall go with the former for the time being.
Weren't they random votes like everyone?
And I poke Charms86 because she looks too quiet...-

No, it's an artefact of the editor. I fiddled with the dice tag (I didn't know it was integrated into the forums mechanics), but it had nothing to do with actually using it. After I clicked submit, the textfield added [/dice] at the end...
Now with HS and MoS's intervention, Charms seems somewhat suspicious, but nothing worth a finger for now, so I'll just say that I'll be watching...-

Dark Lady, one thing important is that although you may get more attention when you speak (that's more or less a given), yourThe more my name gets said, the more (most likely bad) attention I get...reactiontowards the pointing fingers can reveal many things, and is sometimes more informative than the accusation itself. Being pointed by one or five fingers should not make a lot of difference if you really are innocent...
In that case, even if what you say makes sense, I find your reaction skewed a bit. You're trying to say that the "probability" that you and Charms are of the same alignment could be pretty much equal to you and her being not the same alignment. But right after that, you vote Charms, seemingly to show that you're not with her? What does that mean?
Or is it because you only want to repel the "bad attention" on Charms? After all, you didn't explain your vote at all. Can you justify your move?-

Don't take my word for it. I agree there is something strange, but I wouldn't know what to add to make things go on. Don't worry, I'll bring something big on the table when the time comes...Joubert you are not helping. You have not given any suspicions, you have a random vote on from the start of the game. In fact, your association with DLS about Charms smells strongly of buddies.
By the way, Mastermind of Sin, why did you suspect Malrokin, is it only in the hope he will talk so the game would go on? I already used "go on" two times in this post. And you said that we were "lynching" Malrokin, but nothing new appeared in the horizon...-

Mastermind of Sin, you seem to jump your vote quite often. Is there any reason behind that?
And I'd like some explanation for the Dark Lady/Charms link, from the point of view of the accused. Of course, some replies would point to a possible link between them, but nothing very convincing. We are more at the stage of supposition...-

The "who" is obviously the other players in the game. The "why", well, it depends of your motivations. Innocent people don't have to hide anything and they wouldn't profit from lying...Dark_Lady_Shaiann wrote:That may be, but the other part of that is, who am I hiding it from and why?
You were suspected of teaming with Charms because your respective votes were seemingly following a pattern. At one point, you voted Charms, apprently because someone did link her to you. And then, you changed your vote to ShadowLurker only because he voted on you. There must be at least another detail that could justify this vote jumping...And if that is so, then how come the accusation of me and Charms being scum together kept getting pushed even though for the longest time I never said anything about it?
If ShadowLurker can further explain his vote on Dark Lady, then that would help untangle the ropes...
Charms seems to do the same with her vote. You vote for someone because you received a vote from this person, and vice-versa. People are suspected, but no extra information is exchanged. We are stalling...
However, I do agree with Dark Lady with her case on TheSweatpantsNinja. It's a good eyebrow-lifter...

Of course, there's a way... She could be Scum and pretend to be cop...Charms wrote:Unvote: Dark_Lady_Shaiann
There's really no way she could benefit from lying about being the cop...
You "certainly don't want to"? You mean you could? So you're implying you're a cop, too?TheSweatpantsNinja wrote:Anyway, since no one seems to be counterclaiming, and I certainly don't want to, Unvote, vote ShadowLurker.
What can vote jumping mean, then?TheSweatpantsNinja wrote:Right now, I feel pretty good about MoS. He's taking the lead, and that's generally a townie move. Voting people for jumping votes on Day 1 is weak sauce.-

This seems to heavily depend on what side of the fence you are standing. Is it your responsibility to prove yourself right, or mine (or any other player) to prove you wrong? If you really are cop, you must have something more than just a lone claim. If claiming was so magical in repelling suspicion and possibly misdirect everyone, then anyone can claim to scramble the eggs...Not when it comes to proving me wrong. If Joubert thinks I'm lying then he needs to go back through and counterclaim every hint I have left behind, and my reasons for wanting certain people lynched. Not just go around and randomly raise suspicions about every one else. I have already stated my position and who I feel is scum, and either he agrees with me or he doesn't, and he needs to say something about it. He attacked me pretty hard, but never voted for me, and continues to attack others. He needs to make a real statement and stop dancing around the issues.
How do you know that Mafia is trying to kill you RIGHT NOW? Ah yeah, because you are the cop (supposed, at least). But that's what YOU say. It's more like a kind of circular reasoning...Dark_Lady_Shaiann wrote:I am the cop. Mafia is trying to get rid of me now, so they don't have to nightkill me, (Though if I made it through the day they probably would have nightkilled me anyway.
Clues? What clues? You know something we don't? If you're town, the others should know. If you don't present your cards right away, there's nothing that could make it clear if you're bluffing or not. Townies don't have anything to hide. Scum do...Dark_Lady_Shaiann wrote:They obviously know who I am because they quickly picked up on the clues I was trying to leave behind. If you go back and read, you just might pick them up too.

Fuck off, man... It looks like claiming Cop is the single best option to avoid suspicion AND repel shit on others. Too bad I didn't think about it before Dark Lady did. What would happen if I claimed Cop too? Even if she really is Cop, the reactions are unreal...
It's not about the contents, but more than about the reactions of others. Claiming doesn't make you clean. And there's at least one around here who wiped off any suspicion because of the claim. TSPN was severly pointed at recently, so he would quickly jump on anything that could get some approval from others...Joubert, I'm confused. Dark Lady's posts may have been a bit rambly, but her arguments seem to be just as sound as anyone else's on here. How could she prove her position as cop any more than she already has? And are you suggesting she claim cop as early as possible? If you were cop how would you go about claiming?
As for MoS, he's talking as if he knew 100% that Dark Lady is the Cop. Scum don't know who's Cop (or if there's one or not), but they know who's Town. Talking like something is 100% certain is a Sure-Hit Scumtell™...
Moral of the story: never attack a claimed Cop and excuse everything, no matter the circumstances...

I second what TSPN said. If Dark Lady is trustable, she could surely bring something interesting on the table. But what intrigues me is the sudden and unexplained hammer by Mastermind of Sin. But now that he turned out to be Town (and dead), it's even more confusing...
It is possible that the Scum team got rid of MoS so we couldn't clarify anything afterwards. If Dark Lady really is the Cop, and she investigated him, then it would mean it was a complete waste for the Town...-

I hope you realize, Dark Lady, that your vote was not only hasty, but very dangerous. If you really are Town, it would mean that the 2 other Scum only need to vote against the same player to seal and win the game...
Your vote lasted approximately 12 hours, so it's not a big deal. But if such vote lasted longer, and nothing happened, then you would be easily suspected...-

I'm not sure exactly why TSPN would be so rigid on Dark Lady's vote, it looks like we will need more serious reasons, mostly because we're in LYLO. For my part, I think Dark Lady's choice looks legitimate. As mentionned earlier, it COULD be WIFOM, but the balance tips to the Town side in my eye. In other words, it's tempting to think that everything was staged, but it's not necessarily the case...-

In fact, your points B and C are mutually inclusive. You say Dark Lady should be lynched because of those two pointsTSPN wrote:Yes, the fact that I claimed town is meaningless. Points 2 and 3 are the important ones, because they explain why DLS is scum and we should lynch her.combined. Saying you should lynch someone only because s/he voted you on Day 2 is not pertinent...
Your point C, "Two other scum did not immediately lynch me", is a good point, but as I said earlier (and ShadowLurker too), her vote lasted approx. 12 hours, not very likely enough for the other (hypothetical) Scum to get on the wagon. If it was a question of days, then yes, there could be a suspicion...
ShadowLurker is a little silent. I don't like that...-

I don't think it's safe to jump to such conclusions quickly. If we're in a Lylo situation, Scum wouldn't hesitate since it gives them instant victory. But having this kind of quicklynch in Day 1 would surely make the 2 quicklynchers very suspicious. The possibility still exists, but the logic is not bullet-proof...TheStranger wrote:Alright I'll tell you guys what I think. I know that either or both TSPN or DLS must be scum. If this is not true we will certainly lose. Both of their votes were on each other for a decent period of time with no others occuring. This indictes that they cannot both be townies, or else there would have been a quicklynch.
Yeah but if DLS is indeed a false Cop, Scum wouldn't have killed her, partly because we would find out anyway on the Dawn of Day 2. And since she was not lynched, Scum got everything they wanted with their tactic. And then, DLS have to deal with her investigation that lead nowhere...TSPN wrote:Your argument for me rests on DLS not taking a risky gambit. Yet it assumes that I, as mafia, would have taken an even riskier gambit by not killing the cop. You haven't chosen between logic and reason, you've chosen neither, and you have until DLS and either joubert or charms checks this game to reconsider.
TSPN wrote:Or, of course, you are the other scum. Is that why you wanted a replacement for shadowlurker, DLS?
I consider these assumptions out of context. It had to do with the game's evolution...TheStranger wrote:Umm if I remember correctly DLS also suggested that maybe I should be modkilled, so that seems a little conflicting there.
Now one last thing, and an important one. TheStranger, what you said makes sense and indeed brings something to chew on. But your vote on TSPN was as dangerous as the original vote from Dark Lady at the beginning of Day 2. You mentionned yourself that a quicklynch is possible. At this stage (Lylo), a quicklynch could happen easily if the 2 Scum are allowed to vote. So it's a delicate situation. Either you turn out to be Town and we lose after a quicklynch from the 2 other Scum, OR, you turn out to be Scum because the quicklynch doesn't happen...
So your behavior looks quite ambiguous and I don't like that. At the very least, I'd propose a FoS, but not a Vote...-

Looks like the more I open my trap, the more I am suspected...
Unvote
Damn, this is ridiculous. I did start something "fresh" for the sake of the game, and I get angry eyes in return...This 'go slow' thing has gone on long enough. A think there have been enough arguements flying around for people to know what they want to do. If not, you need to start asking question. Now it just seems like your hesitating. I wonder why.
You're incriminating yourself, here. The more your vote stays without a lynch, the more you're suspected, obviously. It's simple mathematical logic, I did not invent anything. The conspiracy turns more towards Dark Lady / TheStranger pair. I made the same remark towards Dark Lady and TheStranger, and oh, coincidence, my assumptions are backfired by those two...Umm both DLS and TSPN have already voted each other for a decent period of (real) time today. They also openly demanded votes. There would be nothing suspicious if 2 more voted at that point.
