??? In that case why not ask for medic protection, or at the very least propose a good plan that would warrant you getting Mayor votes. You're entire platform comes down to a pretty weak reason and on top of that several players already jumped at the chance to vote for you off of that. Now I doubt all of them are that ridiculously dumb to: 1.) be in your circle and trust that you are innocent so early in the game 2.) Not think 1 step ahead and realize that if they are indeed part of your circle then it may not be the smartest idea to immediately out themselves 3.) Lastly if there are other factions that can talk to each other, then Fishball's circle may not even be a town circle. So now these players need to explain how they are so trustworthy of Fishball so fast. There can't BE a circle if Fishball already knows that all the member's do not know each other's alignment.

If his roleclaim ends up being bull, we'll probably find out quickly. However, I think we need to make sure that "highly scrutinized" clause DrH talks about here is well kept. Mayor may be an elected position of power, but that is by no means synonymous with town, especially with regards to someone campaigning for the position. You wouldn't believe this but people lie about giving you information after you do something for them. See any game with a Scum Mayor. Secondly if Fishball lies about his role claim and we have no role list then how will we know? You can't. On October 29 2010 14:55 youngminii wrote: I buy fishball's story. I don't buy bum's.

Both of you have played Mafia before so why run on this platform? You SHOULD be able to run without revealing so much critical information on Day 1. If neither of you gets Mayor you're a good target for scum kill now. If there's so many people with the ability to communicate then why couldn't you just keep quiet, use your ability Night 1 and then start owning faces Day 2? As it is you've given up a lot of information in a desperate plea to get elected and, if you are as good at this game as you think you are you should know that's a big no no. My vote is going to bumatlarge if he's still running, or Pandain. No one knows anyone else's alignment right now except for Scum. That being said I would have voted for Fishball if he didn't try such an illogical gambit for Mayor. | ||

Being Mayor doesn't help you confirm yourself as being pro-town. If someone that can protect you believes you are that important, you'll get your protection tonight and then do what you need to do to be confirmed. If confirming yourself is such a big deal you certainly did not have to draw so much attention to yourself like this. You could have quietly done what you needed to do Night 1 and then came out on Day 2 with what is needed. It's your lack of foresight that's also barring me from voting for you. The one thing working in your favor though is that you're so bad at being Scum if you were in the spotlight I wouldn't it'd be like stealing candy from a baby ^_^ | ||

My plans are long-term plans on how I will use my role to benefit the town. The first step is confirming my identity, the second step is using my powers to coordinate the town in a way that is crucial to our survival and victory. I've put the finger of suspicion on more players than you. Coagulation, youngminii, you haven't really done much in the way of scumhunting either. Mind telling me who you think is scum, if anybody? While scumhunting is important to me, being mayor will without a doubt maximize the effectiveness of my role and give the town coordination it needs in this game. It's pretty simple. I think you're misunderstanding my lack of foresight comment. It was in reference to the statement I made about you outting yourself instead of just proving your ability on Night 1 and then revealing the information on Day 2. Also be aware that I have NOT voted for Pandain. Stop pidgeon-holing me into his camp please Besides, if Fishball claims to have a circle of players and that his ability will help him figure out their alignments then why should we vote for you? He only has to focus on a small subset of players to find Scum. | ||

I think bumatlarge is good enough to know if he's being manipulated. However, how is it that you can't possibly be manipulated by Scum but can coordinate the town? Unless you have the ability to figure out roles in mass I'm not buying it. And I hope you aren't planning for a mass roleclaim because that would definitely be a red flag. | ||

I don't know what roles are in the game and neither does anyone else. The name of the game is INSANE Mafia. Maybe you're scum with a role that can do something and look Pro-Town? I don't know and honestly, even if I did know the roles in the game that doesn't mean I'm going to take you at your word. There have been plenty of games where Scum says they promise to do something, like oh kill themselves and then WALLA! Something else happens, the Scum spin it to show that there is a better idea and the Scummy Martyr goes free. I'm not in the business on playing for promises. | ||

If I was Scum I'd heavily consider running for Mayor just to deny it to the town. It's more than just an extra vote (which is always powerful) - I deny the right for a pro-town player to have bodyguards and can now kill with impunity. Either way the more you talk the more I'm against you being Mayor. Too much WIFOM bullshit instead of just facing up to the fact that we have no role list, can't trust people on their word alone and your power really isn't the super duper "I need Mayor because my role owns" ability I was led to believe. I don't see how you getting to be Mayor amplifies your power to the point of ownage. | ||

Of your 5 listed players: Youngminii and NB are the most suspect to me. Youngminii for his vote with no early explanation in the game and his inactivity ever since, and NB for that alarming post he made about 10? pages back. Other than that the rest of those posters are active and you'd be making a big mistake lynching any of them. If they are active and you suspect them to be Scum you can always trap them later. | ||

I wonder what other applications it has, it sounds like it's just useful for helping rig elections. Additionally, do you think it's coupled with another power, or a standalone role? Besides screwing with votes, as players die off Elders become more powerful. +1 vote is brutal in the game which is why when people mistakenly said Mayor just gets +1 vote what's the big deal I made an issue of it. | ||

I don't read every post the minute they get posted, but I do eventually read all of them. As for your points, (2) is not Scummy. Town players tunnel vision all of the time and in fact is what leads to most innocent lynches. (3) is a solid reason. (4) - If orgolove hasn't come right out and said you are Scum and is only trying to assault you then I guess you've got a solid argument. (1) I don't see an issue with.

Misder and Pandain both tried to ask youngminii for information, pretty much trying to force a role claim. AT NIGHT!. we can't vote right now so why force a roleclain out of youngminii?

Let's just keep everything simple shall we? Early Day 1 bumatlarge and Pandain are the main two Mayor candidates. Later on Fishball throws his hat in the ring and gets some votes. Dr.H who first supported Fishball, eventually also runs for Mayor garnering enough votes to win While all of this was going on Fishball, bumatlarge and Dr.H revealed information about their roles. We don't know what the Mafia knows about the game, but from my POV Dr.H saying he could confirm himself is probably a hindrance to the Scum more than Fishball's circle, especially since Fishball hasn't claimed an investigative ability. Night 1 - Dr. H attempts an action and he isn't sure if it worked or not. Now before this action happens ask yourself how strongly you believed in Dr.H being pro-town. If you believed so then there's a damn good chance he indeed was roleblocked. No need to keep wondering about what if's or who's playing a trick on you. A confirmed townie is dangerous and if Dr.H is telling the truth then Scum would indeed want to roleblock him. | ||

Did you not read the night post? A bodyguard died (Annul). Now according to LSB/Artanis, there's only one bodyguard. Maybe he's lying but if he is, we're still operating under the assumption that DCL softclaimed bodyguard. So that makes 3 in total. Aeres's claim never made sense to me anyway, and the scumtells that he dropped (oh hey I'm assuming there's two bodyguards because of DCL's softclaim.. But what if DCL isn't a bodyguard? Who's the other one?). It almost looked as if Aeres was trying to gain our trust, make us lose trust in DCL and weed out any other bodyguards that may have tried to claim. 3 people claimed bodyguard. However DC says he never claimed at all. Regardless that prompted a roleclaim from Aeres to reveal his ability. Night 1 the actual bodyguard dies. If we take DC at his word in that he never claimed then Aeres lied. Conveniently DC comes back to point this out after Night is over. But - I still don't think Aeres can sail away on a magical boat and be a bodyguard. If he leaves town then how would the Mayor be protected? So I'm voting for Aeres because I don't think his story adds up. No way he can be a bodyguard when the only 1 also just died. Likewise, even if DC did fake claim Aeres should have pushed harder for his lynch KNOWING that DC lied. If he didn't believe DC's fake claim was an actual claim then he would have had no reason to out himself if he was an actual bodyguard. From 3 angles he stinks. His story and his actions are bullshit. | ||

Although I believe he earlier said he was going to be inactive so we may have to wait a while for his defense. nevertheless, my vote is on him for now. Right.

You do not know what Scum knows! The mods say we have 1 bodyguard. Aeres claims bodyguard. Annul dies at night, flips bodyguard. Seriously, why are we even discussing this? He got caught in a lie. There is no what if he's town stuff here. Even worse the scenario between him and DC was THE one concrete thing we had going for us to figure out scum. But you guys are sitting here arguing about Dr.H when right now we've got a more clear cut case to solve. The goal of the game is to lynch Mafia and we do it as easily as possible.

Because Mafia would not need a player who can "test" if people are infected, since they control the infection and already KNOW who is infected and who is not. It's really simple. Like I said ages ago and just like Fishball illustrated - his role is not tied to his alignment. @Amber: It doesn't matter if it's a newbie mistake. Lying is SCUMMMY. I don't know why we always go with these "oh he was just trying to be a hero townie so he lied" moments. How many games do we need to play where Scum lie, town believes it was just a mistake and there's a red GG Scum Wins message on page 100? Lynch All Liars. Period. Once you start letting the first person go with lies then it's extremely hard to lynch the next set of liars since they have the same safe alibi. As an example, remember the greatest lie ever told in a Mafia game on TL.net is Caller's bullshit Insane Busdriver claim, 2 days after he led the town to believe he was another role. The town bought it hook, line and sinker because "oh Caller was just trying to help" and walla - 2 dead townes, Caller escapes THREE lynches and the town loses. Stop letting people lie. You can't even defend this anymore (and this goes for all of you trying to justify Aeres's play). @Jcarl: Who cares if he's the Village Idiot. If he is, ignore him. Scum hunt. Village Idiots usually don't end the game as it's just a "yay you managed to get lynched" role aka completely useless. That said I doubt he's a VI. Probably just playing "dumb" in order to save himself from being nightkilled. @Aeres: Your best bet is to hope for a DT or some kind of hidden Pardoner role to save you. Somehow I doubt that's going to happen though. @L: You can't prove Dr.H lied. Dr.H said he'd try to use his ability on Night 1, and it's inconclusive on if he was roleblocked, if Jcarl is telling the truth or if Dr.H is lying. With Aeres we know he's lying. Big difference. LAL doesn't apply to Dr.H because he wasn't caught lying. Also if Aeres is some kind of mad hatter role that just shows he was lying about being a Cruise Captain - which would mean he lied TWICE. Now we are encouraging townies to lie about everything just to draw a hit to save a Mayor who's alignment he doesn't know? Shit just sign me up for the next religious cult asap. Once again L is asking for the death of one player to "confirm" another. Remember what I said about him trying to get people killed for information? Right. Dr.H's death doesn't give you any bearing onto Aeres's alignment. Period. @deconduo: If townies have to lie sometimes with good reason give some examples because this time was definitely not good. Guys, we aren't going after Kenpachi or any non-active players today. We've got 2 big situations to solve right now. Let's actually scum hunt. @Dr.H - youngminii seems to be getting bandwagoned "because he should have died during the lynch". deconduo is saying youngminii, who hasn't been shown to lie at all or do anything scummy should be lynched over a guy who has lied, possibly twice AFTER 2 players pushed him onto the spotlight. | ||

Let's assume Aeres is a pro-town liar and claims he's the bodyguard in addition to a Cruiseship Captain. According to Aeres the CC can leave town for one night and avoid being hit. If Aeres is the CC and bodyguard, and pro-town then why would he reveal this? If the Scum believe that Aeres is the bodyguard then they'd notice that Aeres would be out of town and just shoot Dr.H on Night 1. From what we know, Dr.H hasn't been shot. So if Aeres is indeed pro-town why didn't Mafia take the shot at Dr.H? Just ignore anything about Dr.H being Scum also for the time being. I just want to breakdown what motive and scenario it makes sense for Aeres to be pro-town if you truly believe he is. | ||

His alibi has no clear contradictions in it (even the slip up in talking makes sense if you think about someone who must act as if there are multiple bodyguards to defend DrH) I'm not saying Aeres is town. I'm not saying he's a good or valuable player. I'm saying that youngminii's eagerness to lynch Aeres based on a lie, one which Aeres made a solid defense for, is suspicious. On top of that, youngminii refuses to defend himself, he defends DrH vigorously, and now DrH comes to his defense. Perhaps you're the one who must stop being blind, because youngminii's unexplained attempt at martyrdom is beyond suspicious, and almost nobody has made a single comment on it up until my post. What does youngminii need to defend himself about? The entire basis for lynching him was stupid. He survived a lynch - omg he's fishy! We don't know how the lynch was picked. The only thing we know is the mods asked for 3 names and youngminii was first on the list. Siniquity gets lynched. That's all we know. Whether or not youngminii is unlynchable is irrelevant as he didn't lie about anything or appear scummy like Aeres did. The best evidence we have on youngminii is that he said he believed Fishball over bumatlarge with no explanation. So we have one player caught in multiple lies. We have another player that can't, and probably should not explain why he wasn't able to be lynched. His only other crime is not explaining his vote. So what do you want to weigh as a heavier offense? Lying or unaccountability. | ||

What is important is not that they lied or what they lied about, but their reasons for lying aka their motive. Although I do find Aeres martyring himself as fishy. 2. If you are going to go with LAL policy, why aren't you gunning for DrH too, YM and Ace? 3. DoctorH, I have FoS on, but I don't really want to lynch him at this point as he is mayor, and can really help in the lategame if he is indeed town. Besides, he is always in the spotlight, more chance for him to slipup like he's been slowly doing all day. 4. For the youngminii bandwagon, I also have FoS on youngminii but I wouldn't really lynch him yet, and I find it weird how they are ignoring that Ace was also tried to get people to bandwagon for Aeres, but his name is not being mentioned when he's essentially doing the same thing that they are lynching youngminii for. 5. It seems that youngminii and doctorH are defending each other, another thing I find suspicious 6. I don't agree with fishing for inactives is a bad thing. With all these back and forth going on between you guys, the inactives are left out of the spotlight: a perfect place for mafia to hide. Also, inactives makes any kind of post analysis useless on them. For now, I'll vote Veldril. 1.)I already explained that Dr.H was never caught lying. Aeres was. Read my posts before making stuff up. Thanks. 2.) I didn't get a bandwagon going on Aeres. I started a lynch on Aeres. If I was starting a bandwagon I wouldn't be using logical arguments, or you know the fact that Aeres lied as proof that he is scum. 3.) How the hell would looking for inactives benefit us when we have a guy that lied, an unconfirmed Mayor, and several people all discussing relevant game information? Come on, at least pretend to know what you're talking about. How about you give us a complete train of thought. You are being wishy washy on your conclusions here. You find YM and Dr.H defending each other, which they really are not doing, as suspicious. You also have a FoS on Dr.H, and even claim that he has slipped up - but you won't go as far to accuse him as Scum. Seems to me you're trying to save Aeres from being lynched - even though you say he is indeed Fishy. So what's the verdict, chum?

----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Im dead now sorry lol good luck! didnt check thread... ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: I've been complacent plenty of times as town. Gotta remember I was pretty active for the last lynch too. No idea how much more active I need to be at the time. Why would I pressure you in PM though? Explain. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: I don't know you've been... complacent this game. Id expect for you to be a little more judgmental about what people are doing. It makes me cautious. Not that you haven't been very helpful as town, it just seems like you are satisfied with where the game is going. Do you think town is going to win this game? I mean so far the only scum kills are modkills. It seems like you would be pressuring everyone, especially me with, for all i know, the only PM contact you have. I'm not normally a confrontation guy, but I will speak my opinions. But I try to lean more on facts then my gut. If you are mafia, kill me fast ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: why would I think that? I'm a simple man oh well about Dr.H, doesn't really effect me about what he thinks about me. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Just warning you ahead of time, Dr. H sent me a death post. If he dies, Im posting it regardless, but he does have a paragraph on you, not really saying you are mafia, but investing alot of wariness on how you play and what has happened. It kinda had an effect on how I'm viewing you, but Im just keeping an open mind hope you dont think i dont like you or something as for Dr. H, his death will be enlightening if it happens, and I dont have many doubts about him considering how much hes invested in to just proving himself as town. This death post is nothing special. Would be funky if he had some mafia death editing thing where he could pick what he pops up as, but that would be insane. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: Nothing at the moment. I'm not surprised he's suspicious of me - everyone always is. I don't know how he arrived at the conclusion youngminii is a possible traitor though. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: well dr. h is the person I choose. I was wary of picking fishball because he seemed a likely virus target. Dr. H claims immunity. He has minor suspicions of you. But more so about Pandain, and then he thinks youngmini is a traitor? Well anything you want me to tell him? I dont think he knows you were the first pick. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: lol. Depending on who dies tonight, I think he might be the scummiest player in the game. I remember he said he could confirm himself, just like Dr.H did and so far he has never made mention of that fact again. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: hope he gets a vig to the face. Otherwise he just a player causing arguments that lead no where and distract town from the vibrant display of information we have. Aeres first though. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: What do you think of Pandain? This whole aeres thing seems pretty straight forward. But I also genuinely feel he might just be blissfully unaware of what he was doing at the time. What would it profit him as a red to claim BG after he thought someone did. Then he leaves for the night... and then everyone believes hes BG wen DC is still alive? It seems very shallow, but I would have no problem lynching him because of this. He doesnt seem all that intelligent after this. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: where are you! [/quote] Well one bodyguard name wouldn't hurt right? lol Yeah but if i visit him the same day he gets poisoned, i catch the m-rus, and so does the medic if they arent ADD like orgo or something. Im all aboard the voting block, but I want to see the results of the mayor lynch+night kills before I speculate too much. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: Meh, don't ask him for the name of a bodyguard. Imagine you're in his shoes, get a PM from some guy asking for Bodyguard info. You'd think he was Scum I think I'd rather mention Fishball should get medic protection over plague protection. Since he has the ability to find potential Scum in his circle I'd rather keep him alive. Also since you're a Mason we should try and vote together to form a powerful voting block. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: I trust him a lot more then i did since orgo died (lol?) so I'm willing to make those ties, but im reluctant because he seems like a likely candidate for the M-rus. Dr.H seems like a fabulous person to pm just from him being immune. Then maybe if i can persuade him to give me the name of a bodyguard, that would be fantastic, unless hes mafia. Otherwise a BG would be someone I could relay all the info to so if I die, Dr. H and the BG can confirm that this guy is 100% legit. The only thing is how Im going to get information with this role... I guess I'll go with fishball first since plague docs dont have to target the mayor. Do you mind if you hint that they should vaccinate fishball, since it would sound pretty obvious coming from me. I can hopefully get something from fishball, as he already stated he has a method to check people in his circle. Medic protection would be awesome on him as well ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: I think we're better off trying to do things quietly in the background. What do you think about using your ability to talk with Fishball for the next Day? Having him + his circle could be great. How much do you trust him though? ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Yeah he's not exactly a prime target if he doesn't get mayor. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: Meh, I'm still not buying it 100%. I guess I'm just uneasy as to why he's so desperate. If his ability is to coordinate plague doctors then how is that the super power role that he led me to believe? :/ ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: My bad he he roleclaimed some plague poker or something. He's got something with not being able to be poisoned, and being able to confirm himself if everything was sunshine and daisies in mafia. I still prefer myself as mayor, but he seems to be intent, and nothing screams scum from what I've read. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: He claimed it? I've only skimmed the thread so I may have missed it. Regardless he's getting extremely desperate for Mayor position based on promises. I'm not going for it. He's already lashed out at so many people I think if he even got Mayor he'd have no support. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Opinions on Dr.H? Claiming Plague doctor I guess, and when he cures or makes you immune, you get a PM saying he did? A viable person to get bodyguards, and Im guessing Plague docs cant get poisoned, but mayor can. If he can confirm this to me, and mafia doesnt have this sort of doctor, I can make a circle for him. And I think people are merging role and alignment cops together, which seems slightly naive considering everyone has a special role. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: why did you drop out of the Mayor race? o.0 ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Any plans for the first lynch? I'll vocalize it for you, and i dont care who. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: lol umm ok we'll see ^_^ ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Sounds good, VOTE FOR ME THOUGH OK? ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: Nah I'm not going to reveal my role just yet. Hell you could be a Scum Mason for all I know. Besides it's just starting and I'd rather read the thread and jot down notes for now anyway. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Exactly, and i can pick one of my bodyguards eventually and put some information with him just in case. I'm not going to disclose who I choose, but if im mayor i can tell them what I can do safely. Is your role something you'd like to share, or would you rather keep it quiet? I'd understand considering it's insane mafia, and artanis is likely to put some misleading scum roles like 'can PM people' or something. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: oh thats even better than I thought. So you can actually end up talking to 2 or 3 people in the same night? You can almost be like a behind the scenes Mayor. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: I knew you would! And I dont switch, I get to PM you the rest of the game, and keep adding to the list. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From Ace: So you're basically a mason that gets to switch targets. And you know how I feel about Masons - they are awesome ^_^. ----------------------------------------- Original Message From bumatlarge: Woooo PM rights. Im a stalker townie, beginning of every day i can get pm rights with some person, and keep them forever. Nifty. I think that would be pretty decent for a mayor. And I think I can kinda prove my innocence with this? Provided mafia does not have a role meant to copy this one. Thoughts? That's the PMs from the game between me and bumatlarge. Take it how you will as I doubt this makes me suspicious. | ||

I remember in Day 1, Dr.H claimed to be able to prove his role. Pandain also said he could too, then later mentioned to give him some time to do it iirc. So far, Pandain has not come out with any information to prove his role is pro-town. Also to add, he heavily called Dr.H a liar. I pointed out many times Dr.H is not a liar because it wasn't conclusive enough to say what happened Night 1. Whereas with Aeres it was a blatant lie. However, Pandain kept pushing that point without thinking about the situation - pretty much excessive focusing on Dr.H So if Pandain was really pro-town - why hasn't he come out with his role claim yet? Either he screwed up proving it Night1, couldn't prove it Night 1, or can't. | ||

Shouldn't that make an ADD Detective a Detective that gets a wrong reading 10% of the time? Food for thought, don't look into it too much (yet). Even if his check is 10% wrong, it's better for him to reveal his information. Usually I'd ask for more proof before trusting a DT, but looking at Coag's posts - I mean really why not believe him. If his check is wrong then it landed on someone who buddied up quite well to a suspected Scum player. | ||

If no role is certain then no one can actually say your claim is bullshit, unless it's really outlandish. But the Miller + Sanity comment was more for standard games. People fake claim detective, get an innocent lynched or near lynched and claim they aren't a normal detective. I don't usually believe it but you'd be surprised at what kind of claims get thrown out there. | ||

@Dr.H: No point in even going further with this. Let's go back to Day 1: When Dr.H claims that he has a role that can confirm himself to be town, Pandain also does the same. Pandain also says even if he doesn't get Mayor, he'd be able to do this. Now, it's Day 3 and Pandain doesn't reveal the result of any of this until now. When I read his posts on Day 1, it sounded like his role could be instantly confirmed pro-town and not something that would rely on random chance. So if Pandain knows his role relied on random chance then why did he seem so sure he could confirm himself easily? | ||

You could have confirmed yourself via alignment checks, but you just happened to always hit pro-town players and now that you're on the noose is the only reason you are claiming your role. That's it right? | ||

Basically if he's looking for alignment checks then he'd be checking the people he felt were the scummiest players right? So I guess the real question here is to see if Pandain was always checking who he felt was Scum based on his posts in the thread. The problem here is that Dr.H was his main target. That being said if Pandain felt that you and Nemesis were supporting Dr.H then maybe his checks do add up. | ||

I feel like if mafia were going to hit any experienced player it would be you first and you didn't roleclaim to bumatlarge even though he was probably the surest blue in the game and the only one you could PM with (to our knowledge) If you're mafia you'd also be the ideal person to save with a bus. It comes down to the lynch turnout but if pandain turns blue I don't have a better target besides perhaps infinitestory. How is picking Pandain weak when you yourself pointed out he was scummy? Bum and I BOTH agreed he was fishy. Several other players also said Pandain was scummy. So please do explain how me saying Pandain is scummy means I'm picking on a weak player. If he's playing like obvious Scum then guess what - he's probably Scum. You seem to be trying to save face with every lynch by saying "well if we're wrong, look at this person!". You pegged Pandain as scum also so how does that make me Scummy and you innocent? Also that's a WIFOM argument. If any experienced player is going to be protected it would probably be me and the circle never ends. There have also been many games where I've actually lived till Day 3 and was innocent. So what's your reasoning for that? Secondly why would I roleclaim to bum? Everyone who knows how I play KNOWS I don't roleclaim unless I have to. I also do not share information unless people have to know. So why would I role claim to bum? I never knew if he was innocent, and you can also see in my private messages I said I don't know if he's a Scum Mason. So once again, explain WHY would I roleclaim to an unconfirmed townie? Bum was not the surest blue in the game so stop lying. The ONLY thing we knew about him was that he claimed Mason. Lastly, there isn't a wagon or pressure on me so where does bussing come into play? Are you trying to undermine me in hopes of setting up a future lynch? Also explain how infinitestory is a better target if Pandain flips blue, when you just claimed we should lynch KtheZ if Pandain flips blue. You are being really wishy-washy. In fact it looks like you'd rather lynch any of us pushing Pandain's lynch as if you KNOW he's going to flip innocent. | ||

Add in that he already suspected Pandain as Scum, makes sense to check against IS to see what IS flips if he thinks there's a chance IS might be town aligned. If IS flipped Town then he would know that they were of opposite alignments and could indeed claim that either/or Pandain/IS are scum. They both flipped SCUM so he's pretty sure he's an insane DT now since he bought in to IS being pro-town. | ||

DC puts a bomb on beyonder and deconduo with all 3 dying. Beyonder had a voodoo doll on Dr. H. Scum hit some combination of NB, Dr.H, and Cubed. This assumes Node is telling the truth about NB. Which would mean NB got protected by a medic and Dr.H and Cube got popped. Being that we know Cubed was telling the truth, then we just have to figure out who he protected last night. That being said if NB is alive and Node was telling the truth then there is another doctor out there or NB has a Vet/bulletproof kind of role. Secondly has anyone thought that the +1 KP isn't Scum but possibly Serial Killer? | ||

Secondly I was never accused by Dr.H or bum of being Scum. Bum said IF I'm mafia to kill him in a PM - a PM I revealed along with my entire conversation history with bum. So explain how that paints me as scummy? Also if we are going to go the route of an innocent player died so let's look at who was interacting with him then you yourself would be a prime suspect.

He even shoves a possible cop out of insanity in there even though Watcher and Tracker roles don't have sanities? To top it all off when asked who he also checked - it turns out it's Infundibulum who was "cleared" by Infinitestory and Amber[light] who is slated to die tonight.

Im getting my info from all the games I played, especially since I was the one who introduced Trackers and Watchers to Tl.net That said, if his role is more similar to Role Cop why didn't he reveal my role name? He hasn't revealed anyone involved in my alleged visit to the crime scene - not one. No role, no targets. He vaguely just said "Ace was involved in last night's hit" and you all jumped on it without even realizing his role makes no sense. Why so eager to get me lynched? | ||

Watcher - Able to target a player. You either get the names of the people that visited the target that night or the number of players that visited the target. Tracker - Able to target a player. You find out who the target visited that night. There is no making up of a role here. These are the definitions of what the roles do. You messed up your fake claim. That's like calling yourself a detective and you shoot people at night, then I say you're a vigilante and you make a fuss about it. Nice that you coded my name into a post ahead of time, as if that proves you're telling the truth when you messed up your role claim. About Amber[light] - you don't think it's incredibly convenient that the 2 people you tracked : 1.) 1 was already claimed to be innocent by another player 2.) The other is slated to die tonight anyway So you don't have information on any other player, just 2 guys who are pretty much "solved". Come on, that's very convenient don't you think? | ||

Quite an unnecessary gamble that I claim he never left his house night two, don't you think? I don't know, maybe because if Amber did have a role that could leave his house by now he would have said something? 3 Nights have passed so it's not a big gamble to assume that if Amber did have an active role he'd have done something by now. Besides that doesn't say anything about Amber's alignment. But ok, let's put the fact that you have a Watcher role with Tracker abilities aside. If I was involved in the killings last night then who did I kill? If you are a Watcher role with some new kind of description then why don't you have the name of the player I targeted?. | ||

Explain to me why I would put myself out here like this to target a single town member. 14 town remaining 5 mafia remaining A 1:1 trade doesn't work out too well, now does it? WIFOM. It's double lynch and you could be doing this to save a scum buddy with a better role. Using the "I wouldn't trade myself for a townie" is irrelevant as I'm sure Scum would love to get me lynched. Either way let's go back to L's argument about Cube's role being wrong. Look at all the roles revealed so far that show up in normal games: 1.) Doctors and Plague Doctors - protect targets from death and/or stop murrayitis 2.) Detective - get a random role at night, may be insane/sane 3.) Bodyguard - works like a normal bodyguard. Elected role can not die. 4.) Mayor - gets an extra vote, works like a normal mayor 5.) Vigilante - shoots at night, has a chance to shoot themselves 6.) Mad Hatter - places a bomb on a target, bombs blow up if the bomber dies 7.) Watcher - Has tracker abilities, does not get the name of the target How come of all the roles in the game that appear in a standard game your role is the only one that has nothing to do with the original role? Every other role even though modified has some relation to the original. But your Watcher role has Tracker abilities and does not get the name of a target. Based on the game setup your role doesn't even fit. So how am I making stuff up again? | ||

I'm not going to role claim because it would only help Scum if I don't get lynched. I don't role claim on the whim I might be lynched unless I'm sure it's going to help the town. At this time, it won't. A 1:1 trade isn't beneficial? Really, so knocking me out of the game when all suspicions on me boil down to "how are you still alive?" isn't great? Ok. But you can't deny that your role does not fit with ANY other role in the game. Your fakeclaim doesn't make sense, it doesn't even give you the name of a target which is what Tracker AND Watcher roles do. You can't be telling the truth. Your only response is to take it up with Artanis but so far, all of Artanis's roles have some bearing on their originals. So why does he need to say anything? | ||

Every other role in the game has relation to their originals. His role is the only role that does not, and on top of it he mixed up the role powers of Watcher and Tracker. How the hell is this even debatable? He just messed up a fake claim. | ||

If you were really either one this is what you'd see: Tracker: You tracked Ace visiting Player X. Watcher : You watched Ace and Players X and Y or X amount of Players visited Ace. This is what you revealed: Ace was involved in the hit last night. How does that relate to either role? You have no information on what other targets were involved. You pretty much just said: Ace is Mafia because I found him tracked/watched him. I asked which person did you track/watch me to? You STILL can't answer that. No matter which role you choose you still need a target. You have none. You're lying. | ||

I did point out that you claimed to choose Inf AFTEr he said he didn't use his role and after Is said he investigated him. Secondly you still don't understand how trackers and watchers work. It's not MY role - it's standard in every mafia game how the roles work. You choose to track or watch me - you get names back. That's it. You only have my name and nothing else. So your role can't exist. How come you are the ONLY one in the game that has a role that works differently from it's original? And now the lurkers are voting for me. Come on, now Kenpachi is going to vote for me because Meapak "defended" himself? Can this get more obvious? As if I haven't pointed out the flaws in Kita's fake claim. | ||

You come out and say Amber didn't perform a night action. How is that a big gamble? Inf admitted he hasn't used his role. You come out and say Inf never performed a Night Action. That isn't convenient to you? you STILL haven't explained why your claim doesn't include me visiting someone. Watcher and Tracker will never say Ace was found at the scene of the crime. It will say I visited player x. So if I killed someone last night then who did I kill? You can't say because you're lying. | ||

He said you didn't visit anyone the night he checked you. I said you never said anything about your role. Hence it's not a gamble to think you didn't do anything. He makes it sound as if me claiming he chose to check you is a big argument when it's not. I was saying he picked 2 players that had no information revealed about their Night Actions as part of his claim. Hence it's convenient. @Inf: Yea I was the mod that game. But I did not mix up your role description. What we have here is someone claiming Watcher, with Tracker powers but is missing the "Ace targeted/visited Player X" part. He claims I was involved in the killing last night but can't tell us who I killed. So how is his role legit? | ||

We just had a long, long argument about why you can't be a Watcher or Tracker. But you clearly just said you are a detective who discovered Ace is Mafia. If thats the case why even argue about Watcher/Tracker? Your original post says: Ace was involved in last night's hit and is also responsible the spread of M-Rus. He must be lynched. You did not say Ace is Mafia. You said Ace was involved in the hit. So you can't be a detective or you would have said plainly you investigated me to be Scum. You can't be a Watcher/Tracker because you don't have a target. If you were a legit Watcher/Tracker we wouldn't be having this conversation. I asked you WHO I'm linked to and you can't tell me. If you are a watcher/tracker then WHAT hit was I involved in last night? Are you really selling that the mod told you "Ace was involved in last night's hit" when there were 5 dead people? | ||

You said you got notification that I was involved in a hit last night. There were 5 dead bodies. So which hit was I involved in since you claim to have gotten this information from the mod? If you tracked me to "the hit" then there has to be some wording that tells you WHICH hit? Am I wrong to assume this? Otherwise you'd never know and there would be no way you could say I'm Scum. If that's not the case, then you are a detective. If you are a detective then you'd be able to say I'm Scum right? But you didn't - you said I was involved in a hit. See what I'm saying? Your claim doesn't add up. Really this is it: There were some hits last night. Ace was there. You yourself would have had to conclude I was Scum. I don't believe you're an innocent townie that messed up so that leaves one thing: You're Scum that messed up the fake claim. | ||

Either he has Watcher/Tracker and can tell me who I was with last night or he has DT powers which wouldn't be able to tell him where I was. If he has DT powers AND Tracker/Watcher powers then why can't he answer the simple question of who the other person was? It's not adding up. | ||

Why the hell? If you were one of the guys mentioned in the day post, that means you either carried out a hit yourself or were the guy roleblocking Cubed. Since there is no reason to roleblock a confirmed medic, and DrH was confirmed 100% townie just before, I have to assume you decided to hit Cubed. But that doesn't make sense either. Were you somehow involved in a killing in a way not mentioned in the Day post? The possibilities dwindle, and so does the likelihood of you being town. btw this now means that every inspection that kitaman made has been correct, even if his role name is weird. I could have sworn I was the one who pushed the idea of duo being bombed by DC. Correct? Why would I out myself when I didn't have to? I don't have role blocking powers though.

I'm not making assumptions. I outlined this earlier: Doctor, Plague Doctor, Mayor, Vigilante, Detective, Bodyguard: Every single one of them have variations based on their original roles. None of them are named in a way that acts different from their original roles. So why would Kita be the only person so far that has a role that doesn't have any bearing on it's original? It does NOT fit with the rest of the roles in the game. | ||

The recent dancing around Kenpachi as a lynch target over Nemesis and Meapak doesn't seem to make much sense either; there's far more evidence of scum play for the aforementioned latter two, whereas the former seems to be getting voted exclusively on the condition that the votes will change.

Pandain, who came up with this crazy plan to save himself from a sure lynch. Pandain, who I said "you need to convince townies to vote for KtheZ lol good luck". Pandain, who always cried "op me!" in IRC while I was trying to watch porn. Pandain, who had so many obvious scum moments but listened to us and just slept his way out of the thread at convenient times. Pandain, who defied my advice and claimed an active role and still managed to dupe the town with a role that should have been scrutinized more. Pandain, who nightkilled Jcarl and made me wonder why the fuck did we even pick him? Pandain, who probably should have been the first Scum lynched. Pandain, probably gets the Most Improved Player award because the day of his lynch elevated his game. He learned how to lie like a master Scum player then deflect all attention away. Even youngminii's cries of "fucking lynch already!" couldn't stop the rape. Epic. | ||

They could have had a win by themselves condition and just said it to stay alive. No way anyone could know ^_^ My major issue with this game was that the Mafia had 2KP, where as the Town has a TON of KP. This game was close yet only ONE Mafia player was ever lynched. This was an easy Scum win that turned into a drag out game because of the amounts of non-scum KP that ran rampant. | ||

It was that the third party turned on the mafia that caused the most casualties. 2 Vigis Mad hatter Zombie Double lynches Town hero which adds up to 10 KP for 9 Mafia. - whoa? vs 2 Scum KP + "1" Our random +1 KP can hit us and is by nature random so the fact that we have to use a busdriver negates any advantage that kill could have for us. Then you have a role that says where the KP is going to hit so docs can just smash it. That same random KP actually almost cost us because it targeted NB and we had to come up with a busdriver action to save him. Above all else our KP could be reduced to 1. That is A LOT of hoops to jump through. I understand that the modkills threw this off but when the Town only lynched 1 Scum player successfully, then has a confirmed 3rd party hit 2 Scum that's either a ton of luck or a ton of KP that the town could throw away and still come out ahead. Either way like I said, the town only had 1 successful lynch. I also understand the mrus thing. It was a good mechanic. If we had a bit better communication with some of our Scum team maybe it would have done more damage.

The Scum will always start with more information than the town but that doesn't mean the Town should have enough KP to kill over half the Mafia. Normally you want the town to at least have to lynch correctly a few times to win and at the end of the day they only lynched correctly once. If the town had played a bit better or we played worse then no amount of Scum manipulation would have helped. 10 KP, lots of medics, a few roles to stop infection, 4 information roles and some good game planning would have stomped us into the ground. Remember only one lynch was on a Scum and it was still a contest. | ||

Yea I felt bad for Dr.H. While he wasn't always on the right track the Town was so bad he never had a chance to cut through all the bullshit. By the time Infinitestory came around it was too late. I guess now Dr.H knows how it feels to appear so pro-town and have to deal with bad townies and Scum undermining you and how hard it is to find the difference. | ||

Kept your cool, kept trying to steer town in the right direction and most importantly kept the flow of information perfect. Keeping the town on a need to know basis is important because as you saw the last 2 days - too much information can lead to the town making some really weird decisions. Better yet you had some good explanations for why some of us could have been Mafia but with little help early on and some key players dying you got screwed. I'm pretty sure if Fishball lived or bumatlarge got to live longer you would have had a better shot. Overall you weren't a great scumhunter which is understandable but you were an above average leader. I think if you figured out Youngminii was 100% pro-town earlier in the game, with Infinitestory coming around things would have been much harder for us as we can't take out 3 obvious pro-town players so easily. | ||

I think the major thing you could have done is just get Dr.H and IS to be like yo, let's all just focus on ONE guy - Pandain. Then watch how everything shakes out after. No idea if that would got me lynched because I was pushing for Pandain to die hard Day 3. | ||

Should've seen through it, there is no reason why Pandain would have lived through those nights if he really was what he claimed he was. Yea. There was a conversation in IRC where I said like, I don't know 15 things as to why Pandain should be dead now. I was like "Pandain if I was town I really would be pushing hard for your lynch." The big kicker that the Town really, really, really forgot that should have gotten Pandain lynched: Dr.H said he could confirm his role. Pandain then claims he can too. Pandain doesn't get elected Mayor and then DAYS later when pressured Pandain finally role claims. He never offered up any free information for a guy who promised to scumhunt. I said something earlier about scum always making promises to do something and then never do it because the town doesn't hold them accountable. Lol perfect example right there. To make it even worse and more ironic, Dr.H couldn't confirm himself so Pandain screams YOU MUST BE SCUM! while also being unable to confirm his role. Good thing lots of townies drowned out any attempt of you guys trying to figure out the bullshit. | ||

You should have let Ares live, he obviously didn't know about LaL, so it wasn't effective It's not like Aeres lie helped the town. Where did it get them? We figured out that even if he's telling the truth the claim is ridiculous. Town gets confused off of it easily. | ||

You clearly saw the difference between "this is either Scum play or a bad town play". As Scum I was clearly going to push for an easy lynch like that. A town player with an unprovable claim and it makes no sense? Just drown out all the people who realize it may be a bad town lie and get the lynch, then lol at being the first on the wagon and watch 8 other people hop on. But hey I hope this was a lesson to players about why lying as town can be a brutal blow. At the end of the day after Aeres died there were no leads into any Scum suspects, Aeres is gone, Dr.H is now open to be killed because the real BG died and lots of information on what roles are in the game fell into Scum hands. This is why lying as town is a pretty big deal - when it's all said and done how do you find out where the Scum are? | ||
