What are you doing to try to get good reads?
I'm thinking about a 12KB/IAUN scumteam. Your post 69 looks scummy because you may have been hoping that no townies would post during the 36 hours following my post 67. Scum have a good reason to want to get in a post along with their buddy during periods when townies are inactive.-

Mine. I see. Well...if I was going to active lurk, I'd do it differently (yes, WIFOM, I know)Join the [url=http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13797]Fluxx Tournament![/url]

Also, you have one post to demonstrate that you are making any attempt whatsoever to find scum, or I'm hammering.
unvote, vote IAUN
We have found our godfather folks. First off, this "deal" IAUN is offering is, to say the least, very scummy. He's pretty much pleading with 12Key to do something and prevent himself from being lynched. Also, it's a way of expressing fake suspicion. Second, I feel IAUN is being somewhat hypocritical, granted 12Key is without a doubt the worst offender of not scumhunting, but IAUN is my second pick with all his active lurking.
It looks like it was just buddying up to Hero from before. Clears up that.

Yes, because if he is town, he is screwing us by not participating. What do you think I would have done as town? Just hammered Keyblade right there?charter wrote:He's pretty much pleading with 12Key to do something and prevent himself from being lynched.

No, if you were town, you wouldn't be offering deals. Hammering, discussing with everyone else, really anything else.iamausername wrote:

No, real suspicion would have been a vote. With your ultimatum, you gave him an out. All he'd have to do is make a post worth posting and then POW, suspicion gone.

I don't think you're contributing much either. Plus, you make a bunch of posts just to say you're here, don't really do anything in them.

Yes god.
Hmm...interesting...Herodotus wrote:If IAUN and Charter are scum together, then Charter would have to be the GF.
I know that's not terribly useful, butI intend to post at least every 36 hours.
I'm also considering Charter's theory; the problem is I'm uncertain about Zazie being town.
Charter-If he is scum, he is the godfather. 6/10
IAUN-Could be anything. 5.5/10
Herodotus-IMO, likely town. Thinking. 4/10
ZazieR-No read due to inactivity. ?/10Join the [url=http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13797]Fluxx Tournament![/url]

This is clearly not true. charter/Zazie looks like a good bet too. I'm liking my vote where it is right now.charter wrote:

It's hardly "completely baseless". I've seen bogus deals before (and virtually all of them are) and this was one of them.iamausername wrote:

Um, this clearly is true. I'd suggest going back and reading his posts, then reading yours and reevaluating. Your posts are filled with no lynches and posts saying you're alive. Zaz's are filled with questions and are really obviously town.

You can keep saying that, but it doesn't make it true.
It's not a "bogus deal", because it wasn't a "deal" at all. It was a threat, in order to motivate Keyblade to actually contribute something to the game, and I don't see how you can argue that that's not a pro-town goal. If you'd kept your vote on Keyblade, and waited for his response to my threat, then 1) Keyblade would actually have to post something worthwhile, and 2) you could see if my suspicion would evaporate based on Keyblade posting something relevant. By pre-emptively assuming that it would, you've removed the pressure on Keyblade to actually perform. I'm betting his latest contribution would have been significantly better if he was operating under the threat of a hammer.
Asking lots of questions isn't particularly helpful without any kind of follow-up. The only actual opinion Zazie has given is that Hero is scum for worrying that a No Lynch might happen, which is a completely bullshit accusation. Zazie is probably right that there wasn't any real danger of a No Lynch occuring, but Hero's worry being unnecessary doesn't in any way speak to a scum motivation on his part.charter wrote:Zaz's are filled with questions and are really obviously town.
I didn't say he wasn't. "charter/Zazie looks like a good betHerodotus wrote:Why is 12KB not scum?too". As in, as well as the other good bet, which is Zazie/Keyblade, as I mentioned earlier.
Not particularly. He's still ignoring all questions directed his way, and the ?/10 for inactivity on Zazie is a cop-out; he hasn't posted a lot, but there's stillHerodotus wrote:Are you satisfied with post 84?somethingthere to analyze.
Nonetheless, I'm less satisfied with Zazie's contribution.-

this can't happen, as the town does not know who the mafia are. nice thought, but sorry.Herodotus wrote:Herodotus wrote:

I'm not really interested in arguing if it was a deal or threat, it's pretty much the same thing. The way you went about doing it was not protown. I don't see why, because I unvoted him, that stops you from pressuring him. Before you planned on hammering him, but after I called you out on it, you're not even voting him.iamausername wrote:charter wrote:I've seen bogus deals before (and virtually all of them are) and this was one of them.

Again, false. He's given plenty of opinions. I see you've left out the one where he calls you as scum. Convenient.

Hi, Joe. I have a request.
Would you summarize each of Zazie's positions (he's the player you're replacing) and state whether you agree or disagree with each of them?
@Charter
If you think that IAUN-GF was faking his threat/deal to hammer 12KB-goon, why did you interrupt the process? Either IAUN would hammer his goon, which is fine for the town, or he wouldn't, which would reveal that he was faking it, and make it a easier for you to convince us to lynch him. Or 12KB would start playing actively and try to hunt scum (or pretend to hunt scum.)

Well, I overstated that theory a bit. Once again, IAUN is doing the scummy actions, and it speaks more to his alignment than 12key's. It seems more likely that IAUN is GF and 12Key is goon, but it's also possible that IAUN is scum (either gf or goon) and he's trying to setup 12key. As to why I interrupted this, I got really excited by IAUN's post and unvoted. Probably a better reason to have switched votes would be that the risk of IAUN being scum and 12key town outweighs just lynching 12Key. If 12Key is town, I'm REALLY not confident in his vigging skills.Herodotus wrote:@Charter

@Mod
Oops, I meant to say "Sorry, I should have bolded it..."
(And I suppose the fact that it gives the town a breaking strategy is another reason not to allow it )
@Charter
Ok... I'll admit that one reason I haven't voted Zazie is because I figured if he was town, he'd more likely misvig than not.
But if we ended up in 3 player lylo, a townie who would have misvigged is about an equal liability, I think.-
