Ok so I decided not to go to sleep and read over the thread now that it's died down a bit. At this point I'm going to vote Chaoser. Why? Because he's got a plan and it seems like a good one. Bum has a plan as well but there's just too many variables in it for me to be completely comfortable with it. For those who don't remember, Chaoser's plan is to

There are currently 4/4 Townies remaining.
There is currently 1/1 Mafia remaining.
There is currently 1/1 Third Party remaining.


If we lynch both mafia and black we pretty much have a cleared list of four townies. Also by lynching red or black we can help town have better chances at winning the game and giving us all the items.


Bum's plan also intrigues me and if a blue claims and runs I will immediately step down from running. This will be, of course, after I consider it some more to see if there are any glaring flaws in it.

I'm willing to compromise in terms of the voting/not voting for day 1 lynch. I'll go along with the town but also make my own analysis as well. If I believe town to be voting to lynch someone who is 80% not mafia in my eyes I will tell town and take a stand if I have to. Aside from that, I will be a mere civil servant, at the mercy of the people. I don't have flashy pictures or heart swelling music, but I do believe beer should be cold, boots should be dusty. I think 9/11 was bad and freedom? Well, I think that's just a little bit better.


As for his lynch he said

Chaoser seems like a solid candidate. He has felt town to me all game, with solid contributions, but his plan for his lynch seems like it is precicely what a mafia would say; they're willing to go with the town (ie, let the other mafia members make a big fuss about who to kill), while also maintaining his ability to kill anyone he wants (if the mafia members can't convince people). If we elect chaoser, i'll be watching very closely to see who pushes for who to be lynched.


Yeah I realized compromising isn't a good idea at all which is why I wrote:

Another reason against not voting day 1 is that it doesn't leave a definite paper trail for town to analysis. With votes we can see where people fell but if it just comes down to you picking to lynch someone then the trail is a bit more iffy.


I will follow town's vote.


I feel comfortable with Chaoser as mayor. The more I thought about it the more I realized that he's the best candidate. Bum's plan is too flimsy, I'm worried about mafia infiltration. RoL hasn't really done anything other than rage for no reason. GMarshal doesn't have a good track record with scum hunting and neither does Annul. Jackal worries me, tnkted is to new, and I just haven't seen Kav post enough to get a solid feeling.

Even if Chaoser loses the election I still think it's a good idea to look into the people in the minigame:
1. Coagulation
2. darmousseh
3. Jackal58
4. annul
5. Tackster
6. Lemonwalrus

Coag Slightly suspicious because of his insta confirm on Jackal
Darm Banned lol
Jackal Slightly suspicous because of Coag
annul Pressuring Bum, pretty good points, not playing too shabily
Tackster Hasn't posted?
Lemonwalrus Spamming oneliners, needs to contribute more

With two of the six yet to post it would be irresponsible to start calling people out so I'm gonna watch these six regardless of the election and try and catch the mafia or third party when they slip.

##Vote Chaoser? is that how we do it? I reread the OP and couldn't find any specific rules.

I'd also like to point out that a lot of people haven't posted yet. There are potentially a lot of reds and blacks lurking right now.

Triple post

I just realized I missed Kav's big post. Now that I've read it I'm feeling better about him, he's less of an unknown.

Ok so Chaoser withdrew but that's fine because the Bum campaign has cleared up a lot of the concerns I had namely how it's impossible to win the claim trade. Bum is probably our best bet for all the reasons people have already stated so I wont parrot them off.

One thing that is worrying me right now is Jackal. I had previously pegged him as probably town with Coag just making a huge scum slip by saying that Jackal was confirmed. However with his sudden opposition to Bum I'm getting more suspicious of him. At this point there really isn't a reason not to vote for Bum unless you're not town allied and don't want a confirmed mayor.

I'd also like to point out that not only is Jackal's "focus on the item game" plan was originally Chaoser's, I just qouted it and reiterated it when I decided to vote for him.

I'm actually still in it, at least until bum's situation is cleared via time and no one cc'ing.

Oh alright I interpreted that as a withdraw. No offense but I'll still be voting Bum

hey I have some papers to write so I'm going to be afk for a while.

Don't lose sight of these things when I'm gone.
1) Bum is almost certainly confirmed blue at this point so he'd be a great mayor

2) Watch the people from the item game, there's gonna be anti town players in there and if we can isolate and kill them that'll be a boon for the town.

3) Watch Coag and Jackal, not liking either of them atm because of Coag's confirm on Jackal and Jackal's sudden opposition to Bum.

4) Kav and GM are probably town, read previous games they were in and this is how they acted when town. Also I haven't really seen anything overtly scummy out of them yet.

5) Start pressuring lurkers! There are a lot of people with low to no posts and we should take a look at them. In perticular I'd like Eiii, Amber[LighT], Beneather, orgolove, and OriginalName to post some and tell us what they're thinking.

Ok so I decided to come back and read the thread (procrastination ftw :D) and I'm getting a little disturbed by the opposition to Bum. It's quite simple really; if there's no counter claim than thats that and I feel like enough time has passed that any reasonable blue team would have cc'd by now (unless of course they are waiting for their roles as someone already said). The people who are fighting against Bum are starting to sound scummy with their incessent "What ifs." People, THERE HAS BEEN NO CC. There are now roles, there is no way for a red or black to have a power that lets them get away with this. We've yelled for a CC long enough and it hasn't come. Let's all agree to elect Bum and start discussing lynch targets. Ok no first let's pick a back up for Bum in case someone claims. I'm content with Kav at this point, not sure what everyone else thinks.

Moral of my story is this. Let's just drop the Bum discussion, he's 99% confirmed and it's of little use discussing him further unless we get a claim, right now we're just going in circles. To cover our asses we should all pick a secondary candidate (mine will be Kav) and then get on with the lynch discussion.

To clarify, one of the best things for us is to get a town confirmed mayor. You can't get better than Bum.

@People saying it's bad that he slipped. While this is true, if he gets the mayor that's an instant protection right there. At this point the fact that he slipped is moot because we can protect him nulifying the effect of his slip.

Annul we've been around this block a thousand times now. You're basically derailing the thread at this point. As I said a couple pages back Let's talk about the lynch. Right now I'm feeling pretty good about you Annul. I can't begin to think of why a townie would go on and on about this. You're obssesed with the mini game and refuse to see why it would be better to elect a confirmed rather than a maybe. You continue to use faulty logic against the election of Bum and you STILL don't understand why Bum is basicaly confirmed. Your obsession with lynching blacks is also pretty scummy. I don't remember who said it but a couple of pages back said "I want to lynch scum regardless of color." That's the attitude we need, town needs to kill reds as well.

The town can win the item game pretty easily. mafia and blacks can't really risk shooting into it without eventually revealing townies and once they reveal townies we just protect them and lynch everyone else. If they don't shoot into the item game we use DT's to find a green we can then just medic him then lynch everyone else at our leisure. Town wins item game.

The blue would be mayor so I assume he'll have 2 bodyguards that need to die before he's even vulnerable... plus we have medics... You call that a sacrifice?

Also I asked you why the blue isn't clear because you said he was confirmed.

Your answer assumed the blue was blue...

Still not going to answer my question?

While I do agree that there are a few players who look scummy, I would also suggest we put some hard pressure on the lurkers. Especially those who are also in the item game.

I mean, yes, annul seemed very anti-town so far, and I would also get rid of such players, but he was trying to make his case and at least we have a lot of pages of posts to analyse, if need be. The quiet ones are always the ones that are hiding something.


This. Amber[LighT] and Brownbear haven't posted much of anything, and i know that they both (brownbear at least) are usually pretty active.

We could also put some pressure on lemonwalrus.

A wonderful contribution, so what do you think of the current candidates lemon? Are any of them worth voting for?

Well, I think that the 'vote or no vote for day 1 lynch' platform is a moot point.

Someone running with a day 1 vote could easily be mafia, since mafia would have a good shot at tipping the vote, especially now when there is no real suspicion on anyone. Then again they could easily be not mafia and just want to use the vote as a way to win the popular vote to make a vote for them seem like a vote for fairness.

Similarly, someone running no day 1 vote could easily be mafia since, obviously getting a free kill day 1 is good for mafia. But they could easily be not mafia and just trust their own mafia sniffing capabilities better than that of the town in the case of a vote.

So basically, as of right now, I have not seen any compelling reasons to vote for anyone, I'm gonna wait to see how the debates continue and vote for whoever I think has the strongest ideas for further down the road. Idk, this is my first game though, so maybe I'm thinking too hard about it.


Waffling. He doesn't have an opinion. To give him credit, this is early in the game, but still he hasn't contributed anything. If he was really a noobie townie he'd be falling over himself trying to contribute something. But he doesn't, and whats more, his reasons for not contributing are very telling: he claims hes a noobie!

Sorry about the one-liners from before...it is my first time, I didn't realize that was inappropriate. I promise to make all future posts of mine painfully and needlessly verbose.

As far as the bum/not bum vote, I think bum is the best bet for the town for reasons that have already been discussed at length. (the biggest one for me being that I think if he wasn't blue by now one of the real blues would have surely counter-claimed) (If you are a blue and therefore know that bum isn't, please, there is no reason for you not to counter claim) So unless someone gives one hell of a compelling reason for me not to I intend to vote bum.

As far as the irc channels goes, well, gather round fellas, because I may be new to mafia, but I am an old hand at irc. I think having an irc for this is a very bad idea. Basically, it is just a more fast paced version of the forum which, on the one hand i know we all think 'well that is good it gives the scum more of a chance to fuck up and reveal themselves when they are under the gun' but the thing is, everyone will fuck up sooner or later. I'm sure if we do an irc channel literally everyone that participates will, sooner or later, say something that convinces someone that they are scum. That is what happens when you are able to share information without thinking hard about it first. (for instance, look at my signature...do you think any of those guys (besides aesop) would have said those things if they had had time to re-read it before clicking a post button?)

Also, I see a major component of the irc channel debate will be 'x isn't active in irc, he must be scum' or 'x is too active in irc, he must be scum' basically wifom madness imo, since with imperfect data either choice will put suspicion on a player and, since town outnumbers scum, more suspicion floating around should benefit scum.

So I vote no on irc and yes on bum, and the above are my reasons.


Why is he using his noobiness to explain why he isn't contributing?! A true green noobie would be trying to contribute his ass off (like I am right now) instead of coming into the thread, posting unhelpful bullshit like this. Also notice how one small paragraph in that 'significant post' as chaoser calls it immediately below is actually related to the topic at hand (bum), and the rest of it is devoted to an entirely tangential vote on the IRC channel. I'd say, purely line for line, only a forth of this post is actually analysis, and its analysis that had been done by six other players by the time he posted it.

Then, when he gets called out for waffling, he posts this.

wtf the more i post the more i get crap for not posting, what do you guys want from me (((((


Also I hadn't even thought of the impersonating people on irc thing that GMarshal brought up in his post. That is yet another convolution that irc will bring to the process. (although if we caught someone impersonating it would make it pretty obvious they were scum...so a potential for reward if a scum were to be so bold as to impersonate someone)

I think the real problem with the irc is that there is such a thing as too much information when you are trying to make a decision. If we have pages and pages of posts and pages and pages of irc logs to go by, 2 sides could make bulletproof arguments for one person being scum/not scum, and it could be almost impossible to tell who was right with any sort of objectivity.

Also....picking through irc logs sounds really tedious. I know that has no importance in the function of the game, but I just feel it will be less fun with a mountain of irc logs...and I kinda want to have fun.


IRC IRC IRC. No discussion on bum, no discussion on kav. He has no thoughts other than IRC (which a noobie mafia would obviously not want) and a rehashing of a rehashing of bums position. And this is his last significant post in this topic! his final post says something like, "I decided not to post until roles were given out. The last ten pages in this topic could have been replaced with a kitten playing with yarn."

I wasn't convinced he was mafia before I started this post but I am now. BURN THE WALRUS



So since he's not you he's scum?


Since hes not acting like I would (as a new player) hes either blue or scum, and since hes not blue...

How about you tell me what you think new players act like in their first game when they're green? you've probably seen your share of new players. How do they act? Lemonwalruses behavior this game is competely nonsensical to me, and if he was green i'd be the other person in this game that understands his position.


Actually you are very different from a typical tl first timer, lemonwalrus is much more the norm. You can't compare yourself to someone like lemonwalrus or lanaia or igrok because you're not normal . On tl most noobs lurk for their first couple of games before they actually become active (and yes there are exceptions to this [yourself for instance] but on the most part this is true).

Also I had no life last night so I decided to analyze Annul which I'm going over now and should be out in a half an hour or so.

Hi everyone. I had a little time on our hands so I decided to bite the bullet and analyze the spam master himself, Annul. Note, I won’t be including the spam at the beginning and any post where he’s just restating something. If you feel as if I’ve left out an important post just point me to it and I’ll tell you what I think. Be careful, it’s long.

This is in response to Bum’s plan to have a police claim. Note that Bum has not claimed yet he is merely suggesting a plan. Bum states that in order for someone to refute the police claim they would have to expose their entire team and Annul doesn’t understand why. At this point I have no problem with this post, it’s a legitimate question and Bum’s plan is only 20 posts old.

And what if you are having a good game as scum? Then you will fucking rape the opposition? I'm not liking the my odds



its ceteris parabis (from your POV) either way.

80% chance (it's 100% since i am a green, but from your POV) to mackmain on them hos? i mean as mayor its one of the most criticized positions in the game, so if i am a red it will really be obvious and you can take me down. but youll see i am not a red very easily, especially since i am in item game and we can confirm me + 3 others quickly in the game

Um Annul I’d like to point out that if you have a good game as scum it’s almost impossible to catch you, Haunted ring a bell anyone? So no, that refutes your first point. Secondly you claim it’ll be easy to find you town because you’re in the item game. Interesting claim, I’d love to hear more.

in fact think about this: i presume mayor cant die to night kills while bodyguards are still up right? isnt it smartest to elect an item game player then? this way, the red and blacks in item game wont night 1 KP on the other item game players (since blacks cant die at night, and while reds can, it's a 1/6 chance to harm more than hurt)?

This is a good point. Electing a town item player would help ensure town victory. I’d be all aboard for electing an item game player if they could give me a good reasoning of why they’re town or how they’re going to lynch or other good mayorly stuff like that. However at this time Annul hasn’t done that.

we have to expect night 1 kills to be at least 1 item game player. black will shoot an item game player to better their chances to win the pot, and reds actually would be smart to not shoot the item game player, since they CANT night kill the blacks, and they need the most days as possible to get town to lynch the black in the item game player. so if we want black to not have a very good chance to win item game, give mayor to an item game player.

of course it's 1/6 to give it to the black, but the benefit (no night kill) is irrel to them anyway since they are all bulletproof

This is speculation but I don’t feel it’s unfounded. The logic is there and it makes sense. But tell me Annul; why should we elect you other than the fact you’re an item player. He’s made his point about the item game but he hasn’t proved himself. For all we know he could be a red trying to get some protection so he doesn’t get killed by the blacks to quickly.

Ahha! Bum is lying because claimed to have access to more than a circle. Now this does seem like an odd claim to make and I’d appreciate Bum expounding on it. However it’s not conclusive that Bum is lying. We don’t know what was in Bum’s PM so there could have been a passage about other abilities as a group not necessarily the individual but the group. Either way, it’s not conclusive that Bum is lying and it’s certainly not enough to lynch him for. On the other hand I would appreciate and explanation from Bum as it is the one hole in his story I’ve found.

And annul, if I am not blue, then a real blue can come out and counter claim me. If there is a reason why he would not, then enlighten me. My alignment PM gave me more then my alignment. That is all I will say until I am mayor.


could be that maybe the blues have powers with potential to get more than 1 red/black over the course of a game, that sacrificing one of their 4 to take out one of the 10 is a bad move to make? there are lots of reasons why none of the FOUR blues would step out against one of the ten possible red/blacks.

also, your claim that alignment PMs contained more than just the alignment means that the mods have misled us already, which they should not be doing. ;\
is town's win condition to eliminate all red/black?

OK Bum asks a very good question. Annul answers that the blues may have a power which they don’t want to reveal yet. Wait a second, didn’t he just yell at Bum for talking about what blue powers exist? He’s saying that the blues may have this power. That’s fine let’s say they do. However by his own argument they shouldn’t know about it yet thus removing their block of counter claiming Bum. This is the first logical disconnect we see; Annul is saying that the blues may have this power, however he’s also saying there’s no way for them to know about it. If they don’t know about it then how would they know not to claim in order to protect it?

here is the problem with bum's plan

if you are a red, you want to take down the blacks. you know that a blue's interests are split between killing red and black. not ONLY red. if you are a red, the only night harm you have is from the blacks (other than vig etc). so you have an incentive to wait.

if bum is a red, then a real blue knows that the blue team (as empowered greens, essentially) has 4 players to take down 10. A ONE FOR ONE TRADE IS A BAD TRADE FOR A BLUE IN A GAME WITH 10 "SCUM" AND 20 NONSCUM. bum knows this. the black team cant know if bum is red or blue here (if he isnt black) and the red team cant know if bum is black or blue (if he isnt red). the existence of the second scum team makes this entire logic very different than it would otherwise be. the fact one scum team is bulletproof also fucks with the logic.

it is not so ironclad that a lack of a CC means bum is a blue. that is all i am arguing. i am also arguing that bum got an alignment PM and not a role PM, so his claim that there is "more to the cops except a PM circle" is very very very suspicious. further, this could be a play to draw medic help knowing he is a red/black and he might as well just steal a medic. who knows. many ways that bum can not be honest here.

all of the above can be added to the fact that i have proven earlier the logic behind giving mayor to an item game player. item game players are already going to be the first kill targets at night. we need to have the chance to give us as good a chance to win item game as the black team has.




tl;dr not counterclaiming bum, but the fact no CC exists doesnt mean he is a blue, and in fact it makes logical sense for there to not be a CC. also, vote an item game player mayor, even if not me. but vote me <3

This seems to be the crux of Annul’s argument and what forced the thread past 50 pages. He doesn’t trust Bum because he doesn’t think the blue team would go for a 1/1 trade. He rampantly speculates about the killing habits of the red and blue teams as well as discusses potential anti town abilities. All this however is basically moot. He’s making assumptions that the blue team would not come out a kill Bum with a CC. Well while he was busy speculating red/black powers he forgot that the town has powers to. If someone came out and CC’d Bum it wouldn’t be a 1/1 trade because we could medic protect the outed blue. We wouldn’t even have to kill anyone until we had confirmation, we could wait and DT check Bum or the accuser so we were absolutely sure. Town is not helpless this game, remember we are all technically “Blue” it’s just that four of us can PM.
Annul also revisits his “Bum lied” argument. Remember this was already proved to be a case of bad logic. He also reiterates his “let’s elect an item player.” The logic is sound but the execution is getting more flawed by the post.

annul, you're thinking of it as 10 v 20 when really it's 6 v 4 v 20. Either side is going to be thinking of it's own interests and so red and black really have no desire to overstep their roles and try to take one for the team and fake claim and let it benefit the other team (red/black).


it is 6 v 4 v 20, but the 4 is going to be focus firing the 20 (since they know that if more of the reds are alive, more chance for town to lynch THEM than the blacks, since town still needs to get rid of ALL of them, and red poses no danger to black at night). so in that sense, it is going to be 10 v 20 in most situations. to the 4, there is no difference between the 20 and the 6. it's 4 v 26 to them. and to the red, it's 6 v 24, since the 6 CANNOT kill the 4 at night anyway.

This is more rampant speculation about killing habits of the anti town teams. To be honest I don’t see the point of this. As town we need to kill all enemies, black or red. Who the blacks and reds are shooting at doesn’t really matter to me as long as we’re killing them. He also assumes that somehow the blacks and reds will be able to tell themselves apart but I didn’t spot anything like that in the OP.

in all seriousness

can ANYONE directly refute my logic i posted earlier about why giving the mayorship to an item game player is 200% better (for the long term) than otherwise?

mayor's day 1 lynch ability is irrelevant. it really is. the BODYGUARDS are the most important aspect of the mayorship. since blacks are already night immune, giving mayor to a black player is going to be no net loss (other than the fact their day 1 kill obviously wont be one of their own). but give mayor to a green player IN ITEM GAME means a significantly better chance that town wins the item game, since now we have a chance that 1 green gets just as much night protection as the black player has.

No you’re right, giving a Townie from the item game mayorship would be ideal. However he’s again completely focusing on black players and he actually believes that ” giving mayor to a black player is going to be no net loss”. This right here is enough to lynch him imo. This is so blatantly anti town. Not only that, he’s completely forgotten how bad it would be if the mafia got the mayorship. This post is quite frankly appalling. He’s fine with anti town people having free reign over the first lynch and giving them body guards.

This is fair; perhaps Bum was intentionally breadcrumbing as blue so he could “slip” later on… what’s the problem with that? Oh yeah the blues know who they are and could kill that with a simple CC which I’ve already shown wouldn’t hurt the blue team. Although I have to give him +1 for the use of automagically.

So why not aim for reds either? It shouldn't make a difference to kill red/black if all you want to do is get people looking at the item game players. You would only worry about hitting blacks more than reds if you were expecting KP to kill the red, which could only come from a black, or vigi-shot. If you killed the black, they have no reason to really kill players in the item game, outside of if they wanted to help mafia/town. So this is either bad logic, or a mafia-slip.




are you retarded?

the ONLY WAY we win the item game is to use a DAY kill (mayor kill or normal lynch) on the black player in item game (assuming no nonstandard abilities). therefore, of course i am going to try to find the black player in item game if i am elected mayor.

Whoa ad hominems are coming out. He’s neigh obsessed with this item game and killing the lone black player in it (even to the point of ignoring the mafia).

he started his campaign with "the police force is more than just a PM circle, and that is all i can tell you."

i mean i am looking at my alignment PM right now and pretty much all it says is "you're green; be patient." - implying more to come later. maybe this is different for me than everyone else because i am in item game and i have no normal abilities anyway, but i doubt it.

Remember everyone, the police force doesn’t know what powers they have therefore Bum must be lying but the reason the police force isn’t CCing Bum is because they have some kickass ability they don’t want to reveal… logical disconnect detected.

nominating the black player in item game doesn't LOSE us as much as we would GAIN by nominating a green in item game, if that makes sense. black already has nighttime immunity, which is what we are trying to get to green by nominating a green in item game.

the bad situation would be to nominate the red in item game, actually.

but since i am green and not red nor black, there isn't this problem <3

“Hey guys I’m fine with handing the first lynch and giving double night protection to someone who’s not town.” Glad you realize that nominating a red would be bad but remember way back up at the top of this post, you never really established yourself as protown.

"having a confirmed blue mayor is better than giving it to someone in the item game with a 33% chance of that someone being red/black"

1. i disagree with this premise on its face;
2. bum is NOT CONFIRMED. the lack of a counterclaim does not "confirm" him as a blue.

it is much better to have a protected player in item game to get a 4/6 better chance at SIX abilities than to protect someone who MIGHT be a blue and who might have ONE ability worth saving. i am thinking long term (as in, day 5 and beyond) and you are stuck in day 1. think big. this will be a very long game.


I think this is the post where Annul starts repeating himself. Mathematically it’s true that the item game and regular game are equal in terms of picking an anti town player so his argument just plain fails here. Also we’ve already gone over this, Bum is as good as confirmed because of the lack of counter claim (I already explained why a counter claim would work and not hurt the town). It would be nice to have a protected player in the item game but as I posted somewhere, it’s easy for the town to win the item, we just DT check until we find a green then protect that green and kill the reds. The red/blacks can’t kill people in the item game fast enough, the town is almost guaranteed (as guaranteed as Bum is blue I dare say ) to finding a townie to protect.

also,

"- 66% shot of giving it to scum, and having said scum protected against blacks (if he turns out red)"

no. its 33% to give to scum; 16.6% chance to give to the black player which changes NOTHING in terms of his ability to win item game. the worst-case scenario is to give mayor to the red in item game, since that means black's optimal strat (to night kill the red) cant work. therefore, since it's really only a 1/6 chance of making a bad decision (mayor to red in item game), 1/6 chance to not really affect anything (relative to item game), and 4/6 to completely negate black's inherent advantage and possibly win us SIX (!!!!!!!!) new abilities to use as a team... why are you resisting against this?

Your tunneling is killing you here. You’re fine letting a black win the mayorship because “it doesn’t affect the item game.” This is quite frankly retarded. The black player now has triple night life practically, and also can decide the first lynch. Not only is electing a black bad (which you fail to see) but electing a red would be catastrophic. Which you admit is bad but isn’t enough to deter you. Well my friend, it’s enough to deter me.

would any of these 4 give themselves up in a trade 1:1 to take out ONE scum? of course not. each strong empowered player needs to use their abilities to take out MULTIPLE scum. in this game, for all intents and purposes, it's 10 scum vs 20 nonscum. that is 33% scum when standard play is 20% scum. 1:1 trades are no good here.

No, that wasn't a serious analysis. I was merely pointing out that I too can pull figures from my ass and say the maths are sound if they add up.

By electing a town mayor from the item game you do increase the chance of town winning it. That is obvious, but your other arguments are terrible.

-Electing mafia as mayor essentially is an autoloss in that case
-Electing a black is bad too. People are less inclined to lynch a mayor unless there is a lot more evidence against them, so it will increase his survivability.

Finally, and this is the big bit, we give up having a 100% clear mayor with a circle behind him.




argue directly against my math, then. don't try to skirt off with some flawed argument by analogy. tell me exactly how my math is wrong, not that it is possible to come up with wrong math. its quite possible. my math, however, is not wrong.


"electing a red mayor in item game is an auto loss." it would be very bad, yes, but not an auto-loss. but that is a 1/6 chance to happen. giving mayor to the black would be bad but only insofar as its bad for green to not have it. black gains nothing, relative to item game powers, with mayorship.

Your math doesn’t matter when it comes to confirmation. Electing a scum mayor is bad, glad we agree. Electing a black mayor is bad BUT OH MY GOD CAN WE DROP THE RETARDED ITEM GAME You act like it’s the only thing that matters. News flash coming up, it would be REALLY bad were a black to get the mayor. I don’t give a damn if it changes nothing IN THE GOD DAMN ITEM GAME.

If a red counterclaims then we get the same scenario as above.

So essentialy we have a claimed mouthpeice for the blues, which we might have to sacrifice to kill scum if there is a counter claim.

Do you see it now? Its just logic...


if he is a blue, it is good that we elected a blue mayor, yes. but it would be BETTER if we elect a green in item game mayor. sure, if we cant get that, a blue mayor is a good thing. but with a 4/6 chance to get the green mayor in item game (and a 1/1 chance if you elect me!) then the chance to win SIX items is worth much much more to us than a blue mayor.


if he is a red, the blue will not necessarily counterclaim, again, for reasons ive stated multiple times in the thread. just for you, ill do it a 17th time: sacrificing a blue for ONE scum is a horrible trade when its 10 scum 20 nonscum; furthermore, the blues may have abilities worth much more in the long term than one scum death.

Already addressed all of this. Yes Bum is confirmed. No a CC would not hurt the blues. Yes it would be slightly better to have a green item mayor but damn son someone from that item game needs to step up quick and prove themselves more town than Bum to get my vote.

Your fixation is somewhat fascinating.



blacks can only die to lynch/mayor kill

reds can die to those PLUS black's KP.

therefore, we should try to find the black since we have to be the ones to pull the trigger on him.

This is a fair point. Yes if we had a red a black it would be better to lynch the black. However we should try and find ALL anti town players regardless of faction because we have to kill them all anyway. We shouldn’t tunnel on one color (which is what you’re doing).

So, you know, we have "better" against "horrible". Unless someone counter-claims, we have the blue. I don't want another game that ends in mass murder. So I'd rather NOT take the chance of picking that red, even if the odds are slim.




this is true, but understand that without giving mayor to a green in item game, we are conceding item game outright.

both the red and the green want to kill the black in item game in the daytime ASAP.

it is true once the black dies, all IG players are [relatively] safe.

your scenario presumes a medic. why wouldnt medic be on bum tonight if a green IG mayor is elected? red is not going to hit IG players (its actually a net loss for them), only the black will be doing this.

you know an awful lot about scum killing tactics don’t you. This post would probably warrant a FoS if it was by itself without the rest of your posts.

"I don't remember who said it but a couple of pages back said "I want to lynch scum regardless of color." That's the attitude we need, town needs to kill reds as well. "

the fact that you say this, in light of the conversation we are CURRENTLY having, removes all of your credibility.

This quote was directed at me, I’m not even sure what it’s supposed to mean, I was just remarking on how I didn’t like your fixation with blacks. At that point I was definitely not voting for you because of your sever tunneling.

but before this happens, EVERY SINGLE PLAYER in this game should take a good look at who is actively opposing me. if/when i flip green, you have at least a handful of scum on your hands.

i say this not to attempt to persuade people i am green or even that anyone in particular is scum. just remember who is fighting this tooth and nail.

So basically the whole town is scum then no?

But he wouldn’t be sacrificing himself. For all the thinking you did on the math you should probably stop and consider possible town roles as well.

i KNOW i shouldn't go on but i think we may be close to a breakthrough here...

Annul: Why isn't he confirmed? Give me a situation in which he isn't blue when:

There are no ccs
The blue players aren't afk

Just answer that question PLEASE

Stop answering it by telling me he IS blue and he is NOT confirmed and he COULD be blue.

Just tell me the situation in which he isn't blue given the constraints we're assuming




4 hatters on blue. 4 medics on blue. 2 hatters 2 medics. whatever.

pick one of many scenarios where the life of a blue is worth more than the life of ONE scum in a game with ten of them.

but they wouldn’t die…

shit.

do you just simply refuse to recognize the potential for blues to be worth more than 1 scum death? notice how not a SINGLE PLAYER has argued against that point, despite bringing it up repeatedly. please, decon. counter that point directly. please. dont straw man, dont ad hominem. tell me, is it not possible that a blue's life is worth more than that of ONE scum?

You’re sounding worshipful of blues which is heavily discouraged… also who said anything about dying?

remember this? how does he know he has access to more than just a circle, if only alignment PMs went out? that is what started my attack on him to begin with. notice how he only came out AFTER trying to push this meme regarding counterclaims?

oh yeah remember this? Remember that you have similarly bad logic associated with it?

So, if you had the lynch right now annul who would die?



not sure. probably walrus.

out of the blue we get Walrus. Wow… not sure what to say. I think this is a pretty dumb lynch, if you’re lynching him for lurking then there are a dozen better suspects. Also he’s in your precious item game, you don’t want to risk killing a townie and thus lowering our chance of winning it?

but i havent actually analyzed anyone in IG yet

oh haha here’s the reasoning. He’ll just pick walrus because he felt like it… great trait to have as mayor.

you take an opportunity to defend Coag who I feel has been pretty scummy so far. Nothing compared to you but scummy nonetheless.

this item is horrible. winning 5 other items this bad wont do us shit.

oh… wow… you just wasted 100 posts and you realized oops, it’s not that good. This is probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever witnessed.


Well this concludes my tome about Annul. I’m pretty convinced he’s scum. I started off thinking he might just be a really bad townie but the more I read the more I realized he’s made a bunch of bad arguments and it almost feels like he was spamming intentionally which is pretty anti town. By far the biggest problem I have with Annul is his tunneling on the item game and indifferent attitude towards blacks getting the mayor. This seems just as bad as a red to me and his continued dismissal of the threat blacks pose as mayor made me really worried. I’ll be upfront with you, I’m assuming that there is some sort of medic in the setup thus making CC’s by blues safe. I think this is a fair bet though, if you’re a blue CC in the next couple of hour, we can most likely protect you, if no one CC’s I’m just gonna consider Bum confirmed and vote for him.

As for Annul I’m not sure which enemy faction he’s on, his obsession with blacks may actually be a cover but that gets into WIFOM and I’ve tried to stay out of that. Anyway mayor needs to lynch Annul. He’s fine with a black as mayor, he wants the town to bet everything on the item game. His two arguments against Bum (that he’s not confirmed because blues don’t wanna reveal a power by CCing and the Bum shouldn’t know any extra powers yet) logically defeat each other. He’s played extremely spammy, remember spamming is anti town because it makes the thread unwieldy and discourages participation. Since I don’t wanna get into WIFOM about whether he’s black or red (could be black trying to throw us off the scent or red trying to kill blacks) I’ll just say I think Annul is anti town and we should lynch him.

Note: I wrote this last night so I don't have Annul's latest and greatest in here.

I'm going out for a while so I'm going to just vote Bum. There's been enough time for a CC.
