We need to look into those who bandwagoned onto Misder without saying anything as to why. I'll have some serious analysis to do once the day starts. I'll have some more free time later today, I'll whip something up then.

This is my analysis of SiNiquity, a player of whom I have been suspicious of since day 1 but is growing ever larger now on my radar.

His first posts are useless and I won't quote them for the sake of saving space. They concern the issue of protactiniums smurf.

He continues throughout the beginning posting a lot but making empty arguments others have already made. "Who is protacts smurf?"

This amused me:

As long as the mafia are still in the game, they stand to lose by not night-killing the VI, regardless of whether it's also "the town's game to lose." To win, the mafia must remove both the VI and the town. A 1% chance to win the game is still preferable to simply losing. I know I've seen games where 1 mafia took out several town by himself with some clever lynch voting. :/

We should also try to start figuring out (if we've already done this, sorry, I just jumped in :/) what role Godfather is posing as, to help the DT do his job with the utmost accuracy. My first thought was that Godfather would pose as VI, and after that I can't decide which of the blue roles (barring DT of course) would be the most viable to pose as. Posing as bulletproof or veteran would cause the DT to defend him heavily against lynch kills, but I think the same probably applies for medic, mad hatter, and vigilante. Any other opinions?


Once the VI is truly out in the open, we could argue that Mafia forfeits now or we lynch the the VI. My point is, by lynching the VI we -also- lose, so yes if the mafia is down then they have no reason to follow through with the kill, just as we have no reason to follow through with it. Granted I see no reason why the mafia wouldn't kill the VI just to get rid of him, but I don't agree that we would be in a position to blackmail them.


Same obvious argument. Of course we can not lynch the Village Idiot.

Well, then can you offer a logical argument as to why mafia would abstain from night-killing village idiot if village idiot is exposed and town makes the threat I outlined above? I would be glad to hear any thoughtful criticism, as this plan needs to work perfectly to actually get rid of that idiotic nuisance.


Basically, if the town's going to be that much of a panda poacher than mafia can just do the same thing. They don't hit the VI. Then what? We doom ourselves? Chances are we change our mind and the mafia are 1 up on us. Basically, the plan revolves entirely around wifom, which should rarely be used in mafia.

Alright, we have two explantions from why they voted Proctat. What about you, Sinquity?

I called him out to reveal himself, he didn't. If he wants to take his identity to the grave then that's his decision.

seriously tho, it's gg. Fortunately it's on day 1, so continuing is effectively the same as rehosting.


Exactly. I COULD go through all the hassle of making sure everyone resigns up, reassigning roles, and remaking a new thread... but why bother?

No I agree. Except then at least I'd have a chance at a mafia role I'm always town-aligned, gets old after awhile.


What is the point of this? It's obvious at this point that BB wasn't going to end a game. This is a convenient time for mafia to come out and say "oh but I hate my role as (town role), let's restart". Not overtly suspicious but this is when he became a blip on my radar as "possible red" instead of just "awful and useless town player"

now ALL THE WAY from page 22 to 39 he spams one-liners with NO information. Look at his post history in his profile. It's ridiculous. he goes out of his way to confirm himself as town during twilight and then just continues spamming the thread. word.

Here is his first "big and useful" post. Which was utterly useless. Let's look at it (I'll be posting my thoughts inside the quote in red)

On October 08 2010 12:15 SiNiquity wrote:
Disclaimer: This post is does not in any way encourage additional posting of PM or PM related information, nor do I wish to further the discussion of the PMs themselves. This post contains full disclosure of BM's method to further discourage any claiming. However, the prior claims are here to stay, for better or for worse. There's nothing that can be done, yet they've altered the meta game and as such cannot be ignored.

he claims he doesn't want to encourage durther discussion of the PM's but yet his entire post is centered around discussing EXACTLY that.

Alternatively a host could simply come out and confirm that the PM messages were different dependent on host, alleviating us of this meta-game aspect entirely. But if not, then the information's there, and should be taken full advantage of by the townies.

It had already been confirmed some pms were sent by artanis and that they were worded differently.

Now, in short, for those that don't feel like reading the spam starting from page 29 and going really until about page 35, Bill Murray demanded players to roleclaim, but emphasized players should carefully reread their PMs before claiming. It was actually very clever, as there was an underlying secret that only town players would recognize: town players were not PM'ed the word "town" but rather "townie" as their role. XeliN sums this up nicely:
complains about spam despite being a terrible spammer himself. BM's plan was clever despite the fact that it was totally useless because not every role PM was worded the same way. SiNiquity either doesn't know this or is feigning ignorance.

My take on the whole "Town//Townie" questioning. It seems quite clear to me that the distinction Bill is trying to highlight here is not whether someone is Green or Blue, but on what a Town player was actually PM'd in their role. Seems a little bit shady as a strategy although nonetheless quite effective as I'm now fairly sure he is legitimately Town.

Him being established town (here's where "my take" is appropriate, you can make up your own minds!) doesn't mean he is correct in calling for bloody's lynch, but I'm going to need to go over the thread more purely with that in mind. OpZ is also suspect to me, along with BC, for missing Bill's intention which was quite blatant, although ofc if they were mafia they would miss it as their role PM would not make his intention blatant.


Ironically, Bill, either in a burst of genius or insanity, incessantly insisted the correct answer was "town." And, best of yet, some people fell for it:

Even now Bill maintains "town" is the correct answer, and his vigilance for this charade is admirable yet simultaneously disturbing on some deeper level. However, props to him for maintaining it for so long (I'd certainly be convinced).

bill maintained town was the correct answer because that's the PM he received. people received different PM's so none of what you just said matters in the slightest bit. there was no trap.

Now there is the caveat that there were different wording in the PMs based on the host.
do you even realize this sentence makes your ENTIRE post fall apart?

As such, take the following conclusions with a grain of salt:
I will

Confirmed players from my perspective:
  • Bill Murray
  • ~OpZ~
  • XeliN (maybe, first one to put 2-2 together but never identified "townie" as the correct solution).


Suspect players from my perspective:
  • BloodyC0bbler (claimed "town")
  • DoctorHelvetica (claimed "town")
  • infinitestory (claimed "town")
  • Divinek (just didn't get it, went off on XeliN)
  • Amber[LighT] (just didn't get it, went off on XeliN)
  • Nuke (just didn't get it)

you agree with BM's methods and come out with compeltely different conclusions. there are two scenarios that makes this possible. one is that you are dumb and did not understand what BM was saying. you say earlier in the thread that bill murray maintained "town" as the correct answer when it was indeed townie. how did you know this was BM's intention? He never claimed it was. This means you were communicating with BM via PM (which is a rule violation), or because you are both mafia. Or you recieved a role PM that said townie which just goes to prove that the role pms are different.

Still need to look at the votes over the past day to see if there's anything worthwhile there. But I'm certainly curious as to what one of the "town" players will flip ~ if town, then there's possibly a host discrepancy. If not, then this only confirms my suspicions. It's the strongest lead we've got and I see no reason not to pursue it.

Anyway I'm off to bed to mull this over.


Even though he interpreted BM's argument THE OPPOSITE of how BM interpreted it. He still accused bloodycobbler. It seems strange to me that there is nothing in common between their conclusions other than the fact that they both painted BC red (bill murray and SiNiquity)

what did we learn from this post?
1. there is a big possibility BM and SiN have communicated out of game
2. despite interpreting BM's argument very differently SiN still accused bloodycobbler and insisted BM is 100% town.

After two more useless posts SiN posts this

2 Double Lynches remaining

Interesting...

Anyways, why not use one now, we got a good plan to go with for BM


Wait. So we're double lynching just to lynch BM "for free" tomorrow?

That's why I voted for double lynch. See this post http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=151150&currentpage=37#733


That's terrible.

If BM's not mafia, there's no guarantee that Mafia won't gamble that he's not a VI and we waste our double lynch. I also don't believe there's more than 1 VI (protact), but that's just a hunch on my part.

Look, now that I understand BM's plan, I agree it was utterly and ridiculously stupid (seriously - "Hey guys I'm town, so what are you, town/townie, oh and btw if you're blue answer 'town' since that's the super-secret right answer, but otherwise tell me are you town/townie" Gee I wonder what -mafia- would respond with?). From my perspective (i.e. OpZ's), I thought it was all a clever trap.. too clever for BM though, and I should've realized that. But even as bad as his version was, I think it's a stretch to suggest a non-town player would initiate such action relying on some "correct" wording of town PMs which, if wrong, would mean his doom (as it turns out, there was more than one "correct" wording so either way he was right, but he couldn't have known that).

So in short, no, I don't think we should double lynch just to lynch BM, and I'm not convinced we're going to have enough information tomorrow to justify using one of our (two) double lynches.

Also james is correct ~ I've only voted for double lynch so far (and now unvoted). Still weeding through the thread to find my vote candidate.


What is this post about? Protecting BM and explaining his late vote. Mafia like to vote late so that they make sure to have the least conspicous vote possible.

He says "I understand BM's plan" yet in his previous post he interpreted CLEARLY in the exact opposite way BM did. If that is the case there is no way he understood what BM was doing unless they communicated or unless SiN has really really bad reading comprehension.

I don't think either Misder or XeliN are mafia, and if my tired count is correct they're the current big leaders in the vote.


Would you like to explain? Misder didn't end up being mafia, just a bad townie. But why even say this if you aren't going to provie a reason? Not only does he not back up his defense but he doesn't propose an alternative. He isn't scumhunting which is what town should be doing. Lynching mafia.

If SiNiquity is mafia, Bill Murray definitely is. SiNiquity you have some explaining to do. How did you "know" BM was using the word "town" to trick people and was actually looking for the word "townie". How did you understand BM's argument yet come to different conclusions?

Why the spam? The nonsense one-liners?

Just because I'm not allowed to PM, I'd like to express my wish to PM Pandain expressedly. PANDAIN I WANT TO PM YOU.

Just a suggestion: Questioning of Siniquity/BM on the part of the mods might be a good idea.


People who voted for lynching Misder in order of best reasons:
Pandain - Pretty well done analysis on http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=151150&currentpage=38
~OpZ~ -For the unexplained vote Misder put on ~OpZ~
infinitestory - Actually makes a post explaining why he though Misder was suspicious though I can't see why he'd vote for him in particular because he had plenty of other suspects at the time.
DoctorHelvetica - No good reason. He was tunneling Siniquity the entire time and gave no real reason for Misder.
LSB - He basically goes to pandain "who know you might be right" and votes Misder...
drag_ - Absolutely nothing. A total of 10 posts. There almost seem to be 12 posts but 2 of those are from a link of siniquity's

This was just me scanning over the posts and making it public who I'm going to examine. I would start with drag_ but because he has so little posts I thinking I'll examine him and LSB (as JeeJee didn't make a single post). Most likely within the same day I will go over DoctorHelvetica and/or Xelin because this particular post caught my eye. It just seems like a post that could be reduced to under 10 words and has no explanation within it and only an elongated 1 point opinion. I know I've been guilty of this to some degree except without just providing opinion. However it seems like major "slipping under the radar" to me.

In case of my death tonight
Suspects: Xelin, DrHelvetica, BloodC0bbler and at least 2 of the newer players including KingJames, drag_ and infinitestory.


Are you kidding? I've been suspicious of misder since day 1 because of his posting habits and I explained multiple times why I suspected him. In fact one of my first posts come day 2 was my reasoning.

1. Multiple accusatory posts with no backing support (typical of mafia trying to confuse the town)
2. painting himself extremely pro-town, even going out and criticizing other players guilty of the same posting habits of himself
3. mostly inactive until there is a ton of pressure on him
4. claims to have a lot of suspects without ever revealing it. only reveals his thoughts when under heavy pressure

No I didn't do a huge post like Pandain, that doesn't mean I never explained my reasoning lol. The reason I didn't switch my vote to SiNiquity was for two reasons.

1. it would be pointless considering the size of the misder/xelin bandwagons
2. I hadn't yet combed through all of his posts

no, infinitestory or whoever was saying we should hold the mafia hostage with the VI, and I was pointing out that was a stupid idea over and over again. I'm absolutely thrilled that you've somehow taken that and twisted it into making me look like a moron. I hope the rest of your post isn't like this.

smurfing hurts town. Lynching hurts smurf. I thought putting more pressure on protact would get him to fess up. If you were smart you'd have seen that I threatened him, he ignored me and just kept posting, and then I voted to put him in the lead and tried to keep the pressure on him, but he didn't budge. Yet you think posting "10 minutes left" with protact having a single vote lead, one of them being me, and protact actively posting, is worthless. Ironically, the fact that he did nothing was the biggest tell that he was VI:

(c) SiNiquity: "[BB: let's continue.. why bother restarting?] No I agree. Except then at least I'd have a chance at a mafia role I'm always town-aligned, gets old after awhile." Why say this?
Because I'm always town aligned and it gets old after awhile, which is why I was perfectly content with protact being VI and rerolling

(d) "now ALL THE WAY from page 22 to 39 he spams one-liners with NO information"
you sir are a dirty little liar. I didn't post after page 25 until page 39. Not that this mischaracterization is out of line with anything else you've said. You're just as bad as BC in the last game I played when he analyzed me. Yeah I spammed a bit on 22-25 when nothing important was going on, during twilight and immediately after protact was pronounced VI. Sue me.

Points (e) through (l) are referencing my large post on page 39

(e) "he claims he doesn't want to encourage durther discussion of the PM's but yet his entire post is centered around discussing EXACTLY that."
I didn't want people to discuss to reveal additional PM knowledge as that was clearly banned, but wanted to reference the claims people had already made, as I thought we had some actual concrete evidence to work from, and ignoring that would be stupid. Hence the disclaimer.

(f) "It had already been confirmed some pms were sent by artanis and that they were worded differently."
Up until that point, there was no confirmation of different wording in the PMs. There was however confirmation that multiple hosts PMed people. Silly me for thinking anyone in this thread would need such a distinction pointed out. Oh wait, I did. In the point you're rebutting.

You've taken up like 60% of the last 3 pages BY YOURSELF. ffs stop spamming, or at least consolidate it all into one post.

It really pisses me off that role PMs are STILL being discussed here.

Since this seems to be a sticky point, and since some people know this and others don't, I'll clarify it for everyone here.

Both Artanis and I sent out role PMs, to make our workload easier. We had no clue it would be so much of a federal fucking issue when we did so.

Now STOP TALKING ABOUT IT AS THOUGH IT'S A PART OF THE GAME.

(g) "complains about spam despite being a terrible spammer himself."
Yes, let's take an outright lie from point (d) and use it to draw a conclusion.

(h) "BM's plan was clever despite the fact that it was totally useless because not every role PM was worded the same way. SiNiquity either doesn't know this or is feigning ignorance"
See point (f).

(i) bill maintained town was the correct answer because that's the PM he received. people received different PM's so none of what you just said matters in the slightest bit. there was no trap.
See point (f).

(j) (In reference to: caveat ~ PM wording may have been different) do you even realize this sentence makes your ENTIRE post fall apart?
Yes which is why I put it both at the top and bottom of my post. Because it was that important.

(k) (In reference to: "Take the following with a grain of salt") oh i will: Oh you're a clever one.

(l) you agree with BM's methods and come out with compeltely different conclusions. there are two scenarios that makes this possible.
  1. one is that you are dumb and did not understand what BM was saying. you say earlier in the thread that bill murray maintained "town" as the correct answer when it was indeed townie. how did you know this was BM's intention? He never claimed it was. This means you were communicating with BM via PM (which is a rule violation), or because you are both mafia.
  2. Or you recieved a role PM that said townie which just goes to prove that the role pms are different.


Or I received a role PM that said townie which meant BM was parading town as the correct answer to catch other people. But that would depend on the PM wording being the same huh. I wonder if I should, idk, make a disclaimer about that? The next post you quote even elaborates on this, but naturally you ignore that.
Show nested quote +
Look, now that I understand BM's plan (i.e. he really did mean "town"), I agree it was utterly and ridiculously stupid (seriously - "Hey guys I'm town, so what are you, town/townie, oh and btw if you're blue answer 'town' since that's the super-secret right answer, but otherwise tell me are you town/townie" Gee I wonder what -mafia- would respond with?). From my perspective (i.e. OpZ's), I thought it was all a clever trap.. too clever for BM though, and I should've realized that.


(m) What is this post about? Protecting BM and explaining his late vote. Mafia like to vote late so that they make sure to have the least conspicous vote possible. ~ Taking this in turn
  1. Protecting BM: Yes, I don't think BM is Mafia. Why? As I stated in the post you're quoting:
    I think it's a stretch to suggest a non-town player would initiate such action relying on some "correct" wording of town PMs which, if wrong, would mean his doom (as it turns out, there was more than one "correct" wording so either way he was right, but he couldn't have known that).

    Naturally you don't at all address the fact that I'm 100% fucking correct, but rather twist me being right into "protecting BM ono he's MAFIA"
  2. explaining his late vote: Yes, I was voting late, and I was explaining that I had not voted because someone claimed that I had.
  3. Mafia like to vote late so that they make sure to have the least conspicous vote possible: You honestly don't think voting late isn't conspicuous. Maybe you don't understand the word conspicuous and instead meant influential ~ the extremes will get the most scrutiny, hence the least and most influential votes will be most conspicuous.


(n) He says "I understand BM's plan" yet in his previous post he interpreted CLEARLY in the exact opposite way BM did.
Seriously, this is getting old. Thank God I'm almost done with this. Read your paraphrase, read the quote in point (l) and honestly tell me if they're the same. If English is your 2nd language, I forgive you.

(o) If that is the case there is no way he understood what BM was doing unless they communicated or unless SiN has really really bad reading comprehension.
The irony of your words is seeping from my monitor. If <false paraphrase> is true, then <draw conclusion> unless <conclusion #1 out of 2 from (l) is true> or <completely unrelated yet highly ironic possibility is true>

(p) (Referring to me thinking Misder/XeliN are not mafia) Would you like to explain? Misder didn't end up being mafia, just a bad townie.
Yeah it was totally Misder's fault for getting lynched. Stupid bad townie

(q) (Continuing from prev. point) But why even say this if you aren't going to provie a reason? Not only does he not back up his defense but he doesn't propose an alternative. He isn't scumhunting which is what town should be doing. Lynching mafia.
His late posts convinced me he wasn't scum which is why I didn't vote for him - I'm sorry that this wasn't obvious based on the fact that I posted that right after Misder posted. I don't think XeliN is mafia because he was the first to articulate BM's tactics, which I already stated in my "long analysis post." But you read that and picked it apart already, so you'd know this, right? As for why I didn't make a case for someone else, all of this was 15 minutes or something like that before the lynch, so no, I didn't make a case for someone else, because there wasn't enough time.

[Summary]:
(a) misrepresentation
(b) stupid
(c)
(d) lies
(e) misunderstanding
(f) lies
(g) conclusion from lies
(h) unsubstantiated claim
(i) unsubstantiated claim
(j)
(k) clever jab
(l) incomplete analysis due to conclusion from unsubstantiated claim
(m) misrepresentation
(n) misrepresentation
(o) misrepresentation / stupid
(p)
(q) misrepresentation / I don't even know. Stupidly high expectations?


If your role PM said townie than what you said makes sense. If you're admitting to that then a lot of what you said makes sense under that light. Obviously you didn't say that so I hope you can see how the conclusion that you and bill murray had communicated out of game could be drawn?

you could be very well lying but your defense is satisfying to me. I'm not saying you're definitely mafia but pressure needed to be applied to you to clear that up, is that ok with you? you seem personally very offended

if we want to win we need to do real scumhunting, not just posting inconsequential spam and accusations with nothing to back them up

misder accused with nothing behind it, that's bad play and it got him lynched. he didn't apply pressure to anyone. if we want to catch mafia we need to put people on the hot seat, that's really the only way. people crack under pressure.

mafia are extra defensive and because they feel subconsciously guilty will defend themselves in a much different way than a townie will. keep in mind we're double lynching tonight, if we don't catch mafia the effects will be disastrous for us

Pandain's out, and he was the one who led the analysis against Misder, who was also a townie. I think Mafia's trying to kill off people who are not only inconsequential (can't be traced back to mafia), but also players who can analyze posts like Pandain.

I think some of us are looking in the wrong direction right now in terms of leads, and we should really focus on those who we are NOT focusing on, if that makes any sense.

And as such, my suspicions on CynanMachae, ghrur, and BM are lowered, at least until I get some more information.


WIFOM

maybe mafia are killing people who can't be traced back to us, or maybe they know we will think that so they are killing people who were on their trail, but maybe they're doing the opposite, or maybe they're doing the opposite of the opposite

that doesn't really help us in determine who mafia is unless there is a clear pattern (hitting people who roleclaim, hitting people who are accused of having a blue role, hitting people who vote a certain way, etc.)

No I never said (and note that I -still- have not said) what my role is directly because BrownBear explicitly said to stop discussing PMs, and me saying "hey my PM said ________ and was from _______" would be violating this, as well as the disclaimer of my own post (the one from page 39, the long analysis one).

I didn't dismiss it. If that is indeed the case then I understand why you interpreted Bill Murray's arguments the way you did. Otherwise the only explanation is that you communicated with Bill Murray outside of the game. I'm not saying one is true and that you're mafia. I'm saying that one of those MUST be true.

It deserves focus because of that possibility. I really don't see any other way you could have come to the conclusions you did about BM other than that.

Crucial decisions? What decision did I make here exactly other than the decision to put pressure. Mind you that's exactly what we as a town need to be doing. Pressuring people.

I never said you made any decisions ~ I'm only saying that every night's lynch is based on stuff like that, and if it's inaccurate or incomplete then you're doing everyone a disservice, because they're probably not going to take the time to so thoroughly analyze your analysis.

I understand the point you were driving at now, but much of your post contained inaccuracies (i.e. me spamming for 17 pages vs 3, and it's not nearly as bad as you allege), misquotes (taking "Look, now that I understand BM" as "I understand BM"), bad summaries ("siniquity saying stupid things about lynching VI, no shit"), etc. That's just off the top of my head, the rest is in my post.

Ironically I'm setting the bar ridiculously high for myself now when it comes to analyzing anyone


You didn't say "now that I understand BM", but rather "I understand BM". I looked at each of your posts rather than reading the entire thread so some context was lost but I put the pressure on you that I wanted and I'm satisfied with your response. I hardly suspect you OR bill murray either now.

I fear the mafia is going to try to twist the double lynch as a free kill on bill murray and someone tenuously connected to him. However I could not ignore the prevalent possibility that you had communicated with BM outside of the game, I hope you can at least appreciate why that couldn't and shouldn't have been ignored.

I think it'll be a good idea as long as we're not lynching any modkills for obvious reasons. I personally don't contribute much and might be considered inactive, but thats because of my inexperience. >: So I think that at least pressuring people to post more is a good idea.

Flat out giving us his excuse that he’s not gonna contribute much and be inactive, ie ANTI town. An argument could be made for town neutrality but that would require content from him. This is not an original idea btw, he’s literally parroting about 3 other people at this point.

Just saw this and wanted to make sure you DON'T EDIT your post. Just make a new post. Welcome to the game! =)

And I've just made a huge mistake >:

Guilty conscience? I imagine his mafia buddies yelled at him for that one

I have no idea what to do once again. The more I try to find suspicious people, the more I think everyone is suspicious. I suppose I'll just keep reading and see if anyone really jumps out at me ._.


Time and time I have seen new mafia players try this card out. They are confused, they don’t know what to do, this prevents them from having to put forward any of their own ideas because they know they are quite likely to slip up in ways they haven’t even thought of yet. Newbie town players are quite often FEARLESS, they know they got nothing to hide and they get into this game because they are EXCITED to get those mafia! NOT SCARED, why would you be scared if you were town?

Then he apologizes for not voting blah blah more guilty conscience fuel

So I am currently voting for Misder as the proof that others have posted on him seems more reasonable than the accusations against any other player currently.
The plan on getting rid of BM seems reasonable as well, but most of the analysis today has been wasted on what to do with him instead of finding Reds.
Xelin seemed quick to bandwagon with BM but besides that he doesn't seem to be very suspicious. He could've just been slow on realizing how ridiculous BM's plans and not just bandwagoning for a kill.

See that bolded word there? Yeah that’s right, OTHERs so if it goes bad (which it did) then he can go WELL I DIDN’T WANNA DO IT, but you guys presented such good arguments I agreed! Not my fault! It’s deflection at the most basic level
Get rid of bm blah everyone already said that. Jumping on xelin too, everyone else did that. I mean this stuff would be fine to do of his own accord, but he’s just repeating everything that’s already been said. This is KEY because he can’t be caught for spewing bullshit because none of it is his own

Also note that I have no idea how these players have played in previous games, so I can't make references like that, or if something is strange or off about someone's playstyle.

More I don’t know bullshit, as in don’t expect me to do things, to be useful. Blah blah im sick of your excuses.

I suppose proof was a bad word to use there.
The accusations that he made against the 'higher tier' players baselessly and his general aggression. Basically the post that Ghrur made. Currently he's just making trouble by trying to lynch players at seemingly random.

I'm also lost on one thing; is the only way to find a players posts is to find a post of the player and then click profile?

I love seeing this tactic. He apologizes, then puts up some shit justification and THEN he adds a question to the end of his post, as questions always take up everything you’re thinking about because you immediately try to answer that question and almost seemingly forget what you just read lol, quality double fake of the old flame fanning.

HAI GUYS

SO U NO IM IN THIS GAME NOW SO I WILL POST LATER AFTER I READ.


Excuse for inactivity followed up by NOTHING.
Sorry kane you’re not going to continue coasting by unnoticed. There’s nothing but wifom trying to draw away from if it was because of you on his list that pandain was killed or not, but one thing I do know, you’ve been doing fuck all for us and I have a pretty good idea why. You’re getting my vote, I will avenge you pandain!

Firstly, my problems with your analysis
I wouldn't really call kane]deth[ that experienced (wasn't the only other game he played he got modkilled?)
Therefore we have to accept his excuses of being noobish as reality.
And don't blame him for all his questions, my first two games I had lots of those in my posts
And as you know, one of the posts was RoL, I'm not going to judge kane]deth[ off of RoL

Next, I'm going to do some analysis of my own
At the same time though, newcomers have giant "I'm Townie" lables on their posts, because of how they play.
"I'm Townie" traits-
  • Does a lot, like over the weekends, they unleash huge torrents of spam/planning/accusations
  • Relys on own analysis. Has sort of the "I don't trust anyone" appeal.
  • (A continuation) They vote with good reasons, or abstain

kane]deth[ has been horrendously bad at doing any of this. His posts are all pretty cautious, he freerides off of other people's thoughts

He actually initially voted for Misder, pushing the bandwagon
On October 09 2010 12:19 kane]deth[ wrote:
##Vote Misder

And then afterwards he switches to Xelin, even though he's pretty convinced on misder. This screams wishy-washy to me

Kane]deth[ please roleclaim

Problems with my analysis: It could just be bad play / he doesn't really care.


I must say, you're entire analysis is bullshit; you're assuming that new players instantly take risks and because in the first few posts I have in mafia aren't decisive and inspired, that I am anti-town. I must say that there is truth though, I haven't contributed anything yet, but I promise I will by monday night. Of course you could say I'm delaying because I'm mafia but it IS thanksgiving over here and all.

@LSB
I'm role-claiming town, but even if I was mafia I would say that :V

About my voting, I changed it because I was thinking XeliN in my mind but I typed Misder for some reason. Misder did seem to be angry and such but I thought that was just a good tactic to get others feeling pressured. Xelin seemed to be weak and uninspired, sort of like how you're accusing me to be. If I did have a choice to abstain, I would, but then I'd get modkilled, so I thought that instead of voting off a player I could simply double-lynch and collect my thoughts, but I didn't know that you still had a lynch.


it would be nice if you contributed something to this game besides a lame defense to all the pressure being put on you

so now you're out until tomorrow night? when the day is over? lol kk

What's the case on kane]deth[?
Why are you voting him DoctorH?
If I've missed something that has happened, sorry, I haven't gotten a chance to read some of it yet

doesn't post
never contributes
only posts when accused
bad job of defending self
constant excuses for inactivity
when RoL took his role he also made excuses for inactivity
already made an excuse to be active for our third (and probably our most important) day cycle

it was said earlier that it is very likely some mafia are hiding amongst inactives, kane]deth[s stand out to me as the most scummy and is worthy of my second vote, at least for now

We shouldn't lynch Bill Murray. I am highly highly doubtful that he is scum and can't imagine why anyone would vote for him at this point. If he is anti-town, he's VI

Amber I honestly made that vote a retaliatory vote simply because you were saying that you'd vote me at the end. I'd like to make it clear that I maintain my analysis on drag_ and unless he's dead tonight, I want him dead tomorrow morning. (Also I'm guilty of being biased this game. I have a liking towards BC so I ended up ignoring an urge to attack him part way through the game. I'm typing this out because making it public will probably help solve the problem. First step= admitting I have a problem. I have a problem although it's minor.)


Really? An OMGUS.

I'm more surprised you'd admit to voting like that than anything.

We absolutely MUST lynch a mafia tomorrow or I really doubt we are going to win this game. Once it gets to the point where mafia have half the voting power, we are screwed. The best bet is to sit tight until nighttime and see what we can learn from the mafia decisions.

Vigilante, if you exist, don't hit Bill Murray. Find a more inactive player who may have been accused in the past but has since been laying kind of low. CynanMachae is a good target, SouthRawrea screams scum to me.

It might be a bit of a crapshoot but we need to hit a red and learn something, start drawing up some connections, because honestly we have nothing right now.

-sloppy placeholder vote
-excuse for future inactivity

you've been contributing less and less to this game as time goes on. i know you're busy cohosting my game but not as busy as me. you've been slipping by pretty inactive for the entirety of this game but never really done enough to draw suspicion to you.

I have a feeling mafia have been hiding amongst inactive players for a while. The town has clearly been on the wrong track with its accusations. Why should the mafia take the risk of staying active in the town?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know WIFOM. But this game and us winning it depends on being able to predict and discern what the mafia is thinking and why.
