WHY is Veldril more important than Masq? We are only voting for him BECAUSE he tried to defend Masq, so if we're voting for him, then we just assume that Masq is also M/V. Correct? So why not be methodical about it, and start with Masq? If he proves to be a Mafia/Vamp, then we'll know for sure that so is Veldril. If not, then our whole premise was wrong and we should rethink our steps. How is this an issue? WHY VELDRIL FIRST? I don't get the reasoning here. | ||

The evidence is quite obvious but it could be too obvious sometimes. We need to be a little bit more careful about voting. On October 11 2010 15:33 Veldril wrote: I don't have one specific in my mind right now (that's why I don't vote yet). But I have some idea... Firstly, because the Mafia and Vampire knows who are on the same team with them, they would want to deflect the blame if a person in his team is suspected. A person who rashly accuses other person could be a Mafia or a Vampire, especially on Day 1. Note that this is not about presenting suspicious players' profiles. But it's more about looking at only one profile and making an accusation without analysis or with an over-analysis. Secondly, I believe that there's old-school player here so we might be able to check their previous post first before making an accusation. Analyzing the old posts in previous games might become useful if you have time to do it. On October 11 2010 15:40 Veldril wrote: Oh and by Mafia/Vampire deflecting blame in the first point of my previous post is that if they are lucky, they could kill other side too. For Mafia/Vampire, I think they don't care much about who dies in the first couple of days/nights as long as it's not on their side. Townie dies mean they have less choice to make in the next cycle and if they can force townie to vote to kill the other side, then that would make them even have more profit. Oh and I don't say that Masq is surely not a killer. I just think we need to look further for other clues too before accusing him solely. But he's one of the suspects though. (Maybe I need a ghost in the first night  ).On October 12 2010 00:43 Veldril wrote: Oh well, I think I deserve to be suspected for protecting Masq. But let's be clear, I'm suspecting Masq too but I don't want to draw conclusion based solely on the story that the GM wrote. To quote what Dr.H written in the introduction: That means the clue might hurt townie like us too. Now let me response to Bill Murray's post: I like your post here. Yes, I was absolutely did a bad post and deserve to be suspected. But after reading Ver's guide, do you think I would make a same mistake that Misder made in the past? I think not. Could you please clarify how I admitted that I'm a mafia/vampire? Because I defended Masq? I guess your logic is something like this. If someone is a mafia/vampire then that person would defend blame on his team mate. If a person defend other person then those people are teammate. Veldril defend Masq Therefore,Veldril and Masq are team mate. Therefore, Veldril and Masq are vampire. If your logic is like above then I think you have made both formal fallacy and informal fallacy. With an experienced player like you, it is unlikely that you would make such fallacies, unless you ignore them to make an accusation on me with some agendas. Of course, I could be wrong but in that case, could you please clarify why do you think I team up with Masq please? On October 12 2010 00:46 Veldril wrote: Oh and Bill, I concluded that you are experienced player because you participated in many Mafia game before. You even hosted a game. I checked your post history. On October 12 2010 02:12 Veldril wrote: After spending time reading rules, I do agree that miss-lynch on the first day is not a big issue. We have 61 players here, with 22 reds. That we have 39 greens/blues. Considering that mafias and vampires each can kill up to 3 people (or have to kill three people I'm not sure, might need clarification on this), we can say that on the first day plus first night, there will be up to 7 people dead. If all dead are hit at townie, then townie will have 32 player left. And worst case would be 7 of either vampire or mafia are killed (only single side), which I believe is very unlikely.

I feel like now when I try to defend or propose something up, most people will come up with even more excuses to vote me. It seems I really made a grudge with Bill Murray, since he's the most vocal to get me killed. I don't really understand why you would want me to get lynched so badly. I would shift a vote off you if you have explain the reason why do you think "defending others" would mean "Red defends Red". Also, I feel that either me or Masq get lynched, it would not be a good situation for Townie or me at all. If Masq get lynched and turn out to be red, people would still suspect me and that could hurt townie since they would spend their focus on me being red and I would still get fried. If Masq turn out to be green, I don't think some people will let me go free without discrediting me, therefore I could not make impact in the future day/night. However, if I get lynched today, it would be a game over. It may seems cowardice but I will have to vote for Masq to save myself. I just wish that Masq indeed turns out to be green. chiming in after being suspected of being inactive / lurking posting what appears to be helpful information, but in reality i suspect the reds are sacrificing veldril while getting their members to accuse him at the same time, so that when we find out veldril is a red, people will think his accusers are innocent. which they aren't!

Seems like the safer bet to me. My main note currently is that Veldril is so closely tied to Masq, that if Masq turns out to be Mafia or Vampires, then Veldril will be gone that night. | ||

Thegilaboy, if you were here, it's just nothing personal.... it's to settle our unfinished duel... :D You're a dick  Man there is a lot of spam on this board, some people really need to tone down on the useless one-liners with no substance. Anyway, I tried catching up this morning, after wading through a lot of shit: Orglove is either a very enthusiastic townie, or he is a red trying to hold the reigns over a lot of newbies who will come to rely on his spreadsheet and and what I'll call "assessments." Spreadsheets are very useful, but you posting yours in every post is actually revealing information you should keep to yourself at times. But hey, you could be a very active townie and I might be off on my suspicions, I just think you might want to tone down on the spreadsheet since it has been found to be incorrect three times now I believe. I know we really want to get our first day's lynch in order since the hours are winding down, but that also means the hours are winding down on any coordination of our blue roles. I believe Pandain is attempting to coordinate MH placements, which can be a good thing for town even if he is red I suppose since he will be gunning for the other red team. Aztorisk may have jumped the gun on his role claim so early on, but that was partially due to the fact that the rules/descriptions weren't as clear as there are now. I know BM has been throwing around some ideas for Ghost placement in terms of the Masq/Veldril thing, anyone else have a thought on that? Anyway, back to rereading the last few pages again | ||

Ghost: I would say ghosts could protect those who have been most outspoken towards voting a certain way. If the lynchee ends up being M/V, that side could be vengeful and want to take out whoever pushed for the lynching. This could be myself/Bill Murray for Veldril, or even Cubedin and others for Masq. Also, orgolove could be in danger because he is providing a database of observations for the town. Detective: I would like to find out orgolove's or jodogohoo's affiliation. While orgo has been supposedly helpful to the town, it doesn't shake the fact that his intentions could be malicious. Jodo has been disruptive the entire time, and has changed his vote many times already. Also, as I stated in one of my last posts, I find this interaction somewhat suspicious: On October 12 2010 21:29 jcarlsoniv wrote: Gooooooooood Morning! I am going to keep an eye on this little post.

When I attack BM's argument back then, I attacked him quite aggressively to make his logic fall apart. Every time I try to defend my position, he respond very aggressively so I have to try other methods to back my argument, which is what make he thinks that by protecting Masq is equal to we teaming up and be on the same team. He still doesn't response me and when orglove try to press him at this point, he also react aggressively. Also, if most people start accusing you, wouldn't you want to prove your innocence. Since I don't have proof and I don't want to point finger randomly (only to BM now). That's why I stated in the previous post, every attempt of me defending myself looks like I make a bad post as a red, and every aggressive move toward me is a good post or good observation for some people. Doesn't it weird? Final note, please look at where I come from. You have to consider cultural and personality impact on making arguments too, because sometimes Asian countries have different way to answer. In Thailand, it is most of the time considered polite to be passive when someone make an argument against you. We also consider our false directly in logical argument so we would not misjudge or build a better argument. | ||

"People already think I'm mafia so no matter what I say/argue, people will think I'm saying that because I'm mafia". We are not idiots, there are people here that have been playing mafia for years. If you actually posted something of value as your defense, we may be swayed in our decision to lynch you. Instead, you act like you've already given up and that you have no defense. I'm sure everyone has a friend that never apologizes and instead says "well what do you want me to do, I can't do anything about it" instead of a simple "sorry". This is what you are doing and as such, I want everyone to vote for and lynch you. If you aren't scum then at least we've made an example of you as WHAT NOT TO DO. | ||

When I try to be more passive, some people point out that I did it because I want to prove innocence that townie would not do. Not everyone do this, but there are some that do. I am pretty sure they are somehow under influence of others, directly or indirectly. Yes, I make a point that is more passive compare to others many times. That's due to my personality outside of the game. If it's bad, then at least I know now that it's not a good thing to do in the future. | ||

I'm not necessarily accusing orgo. His database is a good tool for the town. But it is dangerous leaving someone with that much pull/influence unchecked, regardless if he is friendly or enemy. I'm not trying to accuse him. I just want people to be aware of the possibility. Finding out his affiliation sooner rather than later, I believe, will be beneficial. If we find out he is green, then hooray, we can trust his database with very little worry. If we find out he's red, then immediately, Day 2, it is one less thing the town has to look at and worry about. | ||

We probably wouldn't want to actually follow through on lynching them unless they react in a way that shows them to be reds, because we have some people who are more likely to be scum, but we could potentially get some useful information from even just a temporary vote switch, at least if you're right and they are newbie reds. I would be down for this. I'm in favor of voting Kenpachi, because he looks to be the most active of them, so I think he's the most likely to see it and react quickly, but if someone has a better method for deciding, I'd be willing to change. | ||

Everyone needs to remember: - Vampires know who the other vampires are - Mafia members know who the other mafia are - Only Town doesn't know anything - There are 39 Town-aligned players If there's a bandwagon against someone and everyone starts to join, it ALWAYS benefits the Vampires/Mafia if they know that person doesn't belong to the same team. So slow down and consider that you're probably voting to kill a Green or a Blue. If someone finds a clue in a profile, ask yourself: Did that person check EVERYONE? Did YOU check EVERYONE? If not, you are not doing your due diligence and are going to get innocents killed. The people who are leading the bandwagons ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. Those are the people you should be suspicious of. "Oh guess what everyone? I just found another clue and that means X is guilty. Let's lynch him." If he flips Green/Blue - "Oh, he's Green/Blue? My mistake!" otherwise he'll flip whichever Red team he's not on, "Oh he's Vampire/Mafia? Great, see? I'm helping!" Evaluate the evidence for yourself before you jump on a bandwagon. As for my vote it goes to Veldril for all of his inconsistencies in the game so far. He's playing like he has information to hide and he's hoping he won't get caught. | ||
