OK then, This post be long says I. Go to the bathroom and then get comfortable. You may be reading this for awhile.
She isn't the same "hunter" role I seen once before, but I only seen that role once before anyways so who knows what the usual is for the role. Farside claims a skill that "What doesn't kill her makes her stonger". Last Prey roles I saw only had knowledge they are being hunted so, them both being different makes sence. And from that saying, I think I can guess what role type Farside has to go along with her prey status.
I don't think Elvis is cult recruiter fake claiming for the following reasons.
1) No one but her has explained Luigi's Death
If someone else can then they should otherwise Elvis obv made the kill Cult recruiter's can sometimes kill but usually don't.
2) As long as no one counters with other info, we know all her actions to be true.
No one else can explained how luigi died. SpyreX was town and towns don't lie, he drew Elvis and he was not shown as cult when he died, yet Elvis does claimed to have been blocked. Muerto and Strappado confirmed Elvis targeting Muerto. If elvis was cult her only recruit could be Muerto. BUT Farside says she is the counter part of the hunter role. Can't have hunter without prey or vice versa. Farside can't be a recruit of Elvis since all of Elvis's actions are accounted for.
So I think I can add Elvis to unlikly recruiter list. I can't deduce if I can move farside there yet until she claims further and I don't know if she should. Elvis may more easily be able to kill her, if farside claims her skill out right. Yet at this point, it is possible Farside is the recruiter and Elvis is a Recruit who realized Farside recruited her because of what Farside has been saying outloud and hinting at. I don't think its a great threat or possibility since I ain't found Farside scummy or likly cult, but regardless I will count her among potential cult recruiters for now just in case she really did recruit Elvis.
@Farside,
do you auto loose if Elvis kills you?
If not then I got no problem leaving Elvis alive.
@Elvis,
I don't like directing actions unless there is some necessity. If there is a 4 man strong cult and we lynch wrong, they will win if they recruit right. If they recruit right, The game will stop, and you won't get the chance to kill farside and win too. I call that necessity on both sides. You scratch my back Elvis and I'll scratch yours. But that doesn't mean I should pick the target. Elvis for these reasons I think you should use your own judgement to kill the person you think is most likly to be cult tonight. Farside can only be cult if she recruited you, so you shouldn't be able to kill her or maybe even at all if thats the case.
By killing Cult Elvis, the Cult won't win and you still got chance to hit farside later. Kill whoever you think is most likly cult during the night Elvis. That would be best for everyone. If there is a 4 man strong cult and you kill no one, I already explained how that makes the town loose. If there is a 4 man strong cult, and you kill mafia or town we still loose. The kill itself won't make us loose, it will keep us from loosing if you hit cult only. It won't be the final blow if you hit a non-cult. So I suggest
you kill only who "you" think is most likly cult.
Choose for yourself who you think is likly cult and kill them should we fail to lynch cult today.
Because Elvis is not a member of the town and can kill, I highly doubt she can be recruited into a cult since she wins with anyone not as just one. Speaking of how she wins I guess I'll play my last card.
Elvis is NOT, the only player who can win with anybody
I crumbed it a little poorly here...

In fact if my new theory (thx Elvis & Internet) is correct, giving cigarettes to me 'can' actually help the town, the scum, the cult, everybody 'can' be helped if my theory is correct. But since I believe I can choose who would recieve the benefit from my skill, the town will recieve the benefit. They all 'can' benefit, BUT since I am the one using the skill, only those I choose to benefit, will. At least this is what I think for now. I'll explain once I test my skill one more time. I could be off big time and i could be right on the money. Shaft.ed had fun with my role and if I'm right this game just got sillyer. !My Brain hurts too!
I win with the town. if town wins then I win, BUT if I get my cigs and book of matches, I personally can't loose the game. That's right, if I complete my search, the final outcome of this game does not matter to me because I can't loose.
The town can still win or loose, the mafia can still win or loose, the cult can still win or loose, elvis can still win or loose, BUT I won't be able to loose. I'll gladly still help the town for extra credit and incase I can some how smoke away or loose my cigs, but should I fail to help the town while I got what I want then pfft it don't effect me.
That was why I asked elvis those questions earlier. Its wierd she can not basically win with the town. She must kill Farside before that can happen. This is different then what I got. I can win with the town without completing my search. Or I can complete my search and get a golden ticket to victory with anyone no matter what.
I don't know if Elvis being different than me in that respect makes her a liar and or scum. Haven't decided on that. If she cooperates, she is fine by me for now.

So you think he should be lynched, but you don't want to be on the wagon?
I usually see posts like this when a scumo is trying to stay off a wagon he knows as town. This way he can encouraged townies to lynch other townies without looking bad for dropping the hammer of being on the wagon. Chenshi flipping scum kinda hurts this view unless the internet is a part of a different scum group.
Anyone want to comment on my view here?

PF: Could be reluctance to bus. I prefer Azimuth lynch.
Albatross!
Perhaps I am wrong and Gurgi is right. Or the general view of his play towards chenshi being overall Wishwashy could be the right answer. There were some people defending Chenshi yesterday, I kinda was with saying lurking don't make him scum. Perhaps Internet was throwing his cards in with the defenders hoping another wagon would rise and cause a lynch instead of chenshi getting lynched.
The Internet wrote:I agree with what you have said PF, and I'll give the rest some time to discuss quickly. If I don't get a darned good reason not to vote Gurgi soon, I will vote for him.

chenhsi with his insincere post regarding the NK and K7 with his "what did strappado do last night PF" - If PF had thought it would be useful to town, PF would have said so - K7 not only said something that would make himself have to claim, but Poker and I also pretty much had to claim after that. I guess that's why that role could be beneficial to town, forcing claims and outing people.
Still comfortable with my vote on chenhsi though.
I'm more suspicious of K7 than chenshi, because K7 could have been scum that lied to get IM lynched, while chenshi hasn't done much of anything (though he is looking scummy recently).
The Internet wrote:Alright I'm back, and here's my scum list
Muerrto (oddly selective scumhunting patterns, keeps trying to dodge questions with semantics)
TheSweatpantsNinja (Wishy washy votes which appear to attempt to start or join bandwagons)
chenshi(what else? lurking and contradictions)
Of those, I think Chenshi is the least scummy,but still must be considered. I also would not discount Chenshi being mafia, because he be not listening or being bussed. Before you leap at me for not listing K7, I was unclear about he did N1, but It has been clarified for me. Also, to those listing me on their list, have you read my posts in my defense? Also, to PF specifically, what do you mean by the softclaim?
I was the only one wanting to lynch Gurgi and slightly against a chenshi lynch. There were a few after K7 and against a chenshi lynch.
I still firmly believe K7 is town. Him lurking does not make him scum. He lurks in alot of his games.
Chenshi was lurking like hell and always does. Yet he still managed to make scum tells.
chenhsi wrote:Oh no... Mirth died...
Lucky its only 1 death...
chenhsi wrote:I think that there is nothing wrong on commenting on night kills...
Classic newb scum tell there. Try to sound innocent and sympathic about something you caused. Show me where K7 made a more valid scum tell than lurking, and only then will I say any suspicions of K7 are warranted. Ironman did not look like a grave threat to the scum. I can't see any scumo willing to put themself in danger of suspicions and lynchings just to get ironman lynched. ironman just probably didn't get his action in before. Whispering tracker is not a well know role. K7 probably didn't know the ediquete with it when he asked me to come out on what strappado did. So I see that as only a minor incident. You guys will have to show me something more concrete before I even begin to suspect K7.
Back to the Internet,
The Internet wrote:Chiming in here, no I did not get visited by a bridgekeeper. Luigi Gangsta's death suprised me, the scum could have easily used his day 1 actions to build a wagon on him on day 2. It's possible he got vigged. The fact that he was a cult unrecruiter means that we probably need to be wary of cults. Iron Man's behavior worries me, but I'll wait for his reply.
I once pondered if this was him crumbing he was a vig and had killed Luigi. Trying to sound innocent about something you knew or involved in. But since Elvis claimed the kill, that isn't the case. So I got to wonder if he actually "knew" Luigi's death wasn't caused by the mafia back then and trid to sound innocent about something he knew or were involved in, while subtly vig fishing. I think I can see internet as mafia with how he handled chenshi and everyone else yesterday, especially if he was vig fishing.

Unvote
first, because Luigi has explained himself adequately for now.
Regarding our purported French Taunters: if one is lying and one is not, I suppose I am more inclined to believe SpyreX because his explanation of his role seems more complete, plus the constant breadcrumbing followed by an unsolicited role/PR reveal on the part of DarlaBlueEyes seems a little too contrived. Why bother to reveal that much at all? Certainly there was not much suspicion of DBE before.
I suppose it is possible that all of this was staged, and they are both mafia, using this as a way to distance one from the other. In that case DBE would still make a good lynch choice, though for now I don't want to put her at L-2 in case there is disagreement from others.
If, however, neither of them are mafia, and our moderator has simply given them the same role in a fit of mischief, it might be appropriate to say, "
You bastardmod! You vicious, heartless bastardmod! Look what you've done to them!" I would never say something like that, though...
I don't like what chenhsi is doing either. I could easily place a vote for him if he doesn't start doing something constructive. Probably goes for killa seven too, though he is newer.
Also, JordanA24 has seemed to "Run awayyyy!" from this game; I would think he's been at least prodded by now?
Meanwhile, I will have much work to do elsewhere for six days beginning Monday; I may still be able to post minimally, but no long essays from me. Since this game is large, I will try extra hard to keep up with reading it so that I won't take all of next weekend catching up.
Azimuth wrote:Checking in quickly (on a break):
I am not in favor of forcing a modkill or anything along that line.
I am not interested in telling SpyreX how to do a night action or learning more about it at this time.
DarlaBlueEyes wrote:Why would i fake claim on day one with 2 votes on me?
Why claim at all, fake or otherwise? Your argument seems to be that it doesn't make sense if you are mafia, but it doesn't make sense if you are town either. You don't seem to be addressing questions posed to you and have taken a defeatist attitude; if you actually are town then you are doing us a disservice.
I may not like some of Iron Man and Luigi's actions and (chenhsi and killa seven's lack thereof), but it is getting difficult to keep my vote off DBE, whether IM ever shows up to explain himself or not.
Back to work; will continue reading and may post again if needed, but not much.
He did express some dislike of Darla in this post and others though did not vote her. I can understand he wanted to wait on ironman but it is borderline wishywashy when he says so much against here yet doesn't take a more direct action. Bruce later voted Darla firmly puting her at L-2 Not L-1 when he made comments against Darla a long while before K7 hammered. Azimuth prolonging voting her when she was L-3 pre L-2 and not L-1 that far ahead of time, comes off wrong to me. Azimuth was also among those who considered both DBE and SpyreX as both being scum ahead of time. And he very lightly touched on them both being taunters. Scum would know Darla was a taunter and would assume SpyreX was not a liar since they would already know SpyreX was town.
Azimuth was highly pro replace chenshi over let's lynch chenshi. He voted and tried to support any wagon yesterday over voting chenshi. I can't recall him saying Chenshi was scummy yesterday or him dwelling on ironman intensly on day 2. He dwelled on ironman day 1 but not so much on day 2? Did you not want to be on ironman's lynch after your comments toward ironman on day1? That don't sync up. He only repeated what everyone else said applying to Ironman but didn't include much of his own input at all on day 2.
Azimuth wrote:Just chiming in to say that I was quite close to placing a vote on Iron Man too, mainly because his ability doesn't seem to be pro-town (but also for the other reasons -- lurking, possible contradiction, etc.). With the recent flurry of votes I will hold off for now to give him one last chance to respond, but even I will not wait an eternity.

Azimuth wrote:1. We lost the cop?
Ouch.
And there's probably a cult?

We already know why such comments are scummy.
<<<Points at Chenshi's corpse
This comment and how he hinted at cult going at Elvis for recruitment Make me think Azimuth has potential for being cult or scum who just want a role like elvis's elimnated.
Azimuth wrote:elvis_knits wrote:I have the option of killing every night. It is not required.
In that case, if I were you I would not try to kill anyone else, if it doesn't fit the win condition. I would even be suspicious of anyone who tried to get you to kill someone as a "vig"; you have no real reason to trust most of us, I imagine.
I suppose I can't expect you not to try to kill farside22, although since she revealed herself yesterday I wonder why you didn't try to kill her last night instead of Muerrto.
Another troubling thought: someone with your capabilities would be quite attractive to a cult recruiter, assuming you haven't been recruited already.
Azimuth wrote:I hesitate to lay these next cards on the table, but here goes: since I agree that at least trying to lynch the cult recruiter is "the thing to do" for today, with lynching any cult member as an acceptable alternative for me, I would focus on farside22 and Lord Gurgi, who have been acting overly chummy since at least Day 2. With LG going after people for talking about the cult, making superficial attacks while hiding behind a restriction, and even accusing Muerrto of being the recruiter out of the blue, I get the notion that any of several lynches would be okay for him, which is consistent with that of a cult member. With farside22 as the other possibility, EK's claim presents problems. I guess it depends on whether we care whether EK wins, and also whether we really trust her motives behind not wanting farside to be lynched. Still, LG's superficial aggressiveness make him more likely than farside to be a recruiter (though it could be someone else).
Azimuth's recent comments toward possibly farside being a recruiter are waranted but they don't show or explain her ever being scummy. His comments toward Gurgi
Basically I think Azimuth is leaving the line of scum hunting and crossing into ad hominem with respect to Gurgi. He should find something actually scummy Gurgi did and talk about that. Not saying Gurgi is ignoring his defence, since I wouldn't say Azimuth has addressed the case on him. Azimuth more so address the person presenting the case on him with poor reasoning which is the esence of ad hominem. Azimuth should show reason to believe Gurgi's restriction is fake like I did. Just don't say "Oh he's hiding behind a restriction". Didn't Azimuth show quite a varying tone earlier with respect to lynching or not lynching those acting silly and those that mentioned roles? I can quote alot of places where he did that if I need too.

If you don't believe me, you can at least say that, but just repeating the weak argument with nothing else, completely ignoring previous explanations and even describing my initial actions incorrectly, is suspicoius to me,
especially since I know I'm town
.
Where did you stop going after Ironman on day1? Show me where because I don't believe you ever did. And the statement "especially since I know I'm town", is full on OMGUS. "Oh God I know I'm town and you are attacking me. You suck and must be scum!"

http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Omgus
If you mention you vote being called OMGUS in random stage or outside of it, that does not diminish what it is.
So yay I am highly suspicious of Azimuth being cult or mafia for his treatement of DBE, ironman, and Chenshi primarily on the days they were lynched and also how he reacted to Elvis.
Muerto Firmly voted and expressed how he did not like Darla or Chenshi. For those reasons I don't see him as Mafia. However he had a slight change of heart with respect to seeing a cult and then calling it a red herring. I am not set on calling him a recruiter flat out, but I do see reasons to associat him with being a part of a cult today. I don't think he is mafia because he was firm unlike internet and Azimuth, but I lightly suspect he may be cult so I'd say he be last on suspicion list. I won't vote to lynch him today. Azimuth said worse things about a cult but I will be keeping an eye on him.
He has not acted scummy outside of his cult views so last on the list big time if on the list at all.
And I don't see comments about Muerto like this as being oportunistic because Muerto does not have a wagon right now. Oportunitic in esence of taking advantage of a good opportunity. I see no wagon or opportunity here, Azimuth so Gurgi wasn't taking advantage of anything since he was pretty much first to get on Muerto's case for this actions or any other actions Muerto did.
Can you say anything further? I have no reason to suspect you as being scum or cult at this time. Jordan is a buddy on mine via mafiascum and its mafia and mishmash games I have played with him. The skill is by no means a harmful skill so I wouldn't be surprised at all if a town Jordan was its original source. But I won't confirm you til I'm certain you are the one i am talking about. Please
come at me with something
further.
