chaos13, I realize it looks bad for me, based on what little time I've spent in this game (especially since, why would anyone have a role that needs to be replaced twice?). And, at this point, I fully expect to be lynched at some point in the near future.
I was asked to analyze kitaman earlier in the thread. I honestly don't have a solid pro-town or pro-scum read from him. I believed that there were better targets at the time, even though I wasn't convinced he was actually town. That's why I'd actually argue against a lynch of him.
Does that make sense? I wasn't actually trying to attack him.....
And, when it came to the EM/sinani thing that happened earlier - I don't want the town to be so indecisive - it's too easy for the mafia to manipulate. We need to be decisive with our lynches.
The bolded is contrary to my analysis of you. We have several targets right now because there are several people who have been acting scummy. If we analyze them, we can cut out a suspect or two and be that much closer to winning the game.
Who do you have solid pro-town and pro-scum reads on then?

Ok, here's some things going on in my head.
I definitely think there's something fishy going on between orgolove and DropBear. DropBear showed up really, really high on orgolove's statistical analysis, and then after the analysis, his numbers basically dropped as fast as possible. This leads me to think that it's quite possible that one or the other are actually mafia. Either orgolove set it up to frame some townies, or DropBear knowingly did the best he could to lower his rating (which he could only do if he was red). I'm not certain about either of these two, but I do know that if one flips red, I'm 100% certain that the other is town.
I don't want to lynch either though, since both have potential to contribute a lot, and we'd have to commit to 2 lynches, in case we were wrong. I'd like to wait for something stronger.
Lynching ilovejonn would just be cleaning up the link between him and EM. Suspicious to a few people. Maybe not the best lynch possible, but I don't think it's a bad one.
Varpilus did a good job analyzing redtooth earlier. I had a pretty solid pro-town reading earlier in the game, but now I'm not so sure. I wouldn't want to lynch him right now, because he has the potential to contribute a lot, and we'd miss out on that if he's town and we're doing the wrong thing.
There's been some people who have been too quiet for my liking. jaminiz is one of them. I wouldn't be against lynching him today (since he seems scummy to some people + lurking), simply because a lurker/less active poster will not help us later on, assuming the worst case scenario of a mislynch.
|
Imp, one of the reasons I'm suspicious of redtooth is just that: he has the potential to be very helpful, but he hasn't been at all pro-town or active lately. he's turned from an active and outspoken player who had everybody convinced he was town to a shady guy hiding do that he doesn't have to post an opinion.
He's got the potential to be a very good townie, but lately he's been just the opposite. I don't like jaminz as a lynch today. I don't believe that he's scum, personally.
|
I had a brief suspicion of redtooth in the beginning of the game, but it faded quickly. Perhaps it was right after all.
I would like someone to post analysis on jaminz, orgolove, and ilovejonn. It will help me make my own thoughts on them clearer.

One of sinani206's few big posts, probably a coached post. I´m not sure how to read this one, because of WIFOM. It was posted fairly early, when there was still time to divert the lynch on someone else, to me it´s more likely that scum would discredit a townie than cast suspicions on their own at that stage.
I´m fairly certain this makes Ilovejonn Town, but I can´t be sure.

Like people mentioned, he gives us a flawed data sheet to follow (I know it's flawed because I'm townie but managed to accumulate the most points due to a) not switching to Amber because I was away, b) sticking with my analysis on EM which turned out to be wrong.), says that Dropbear and I are top targets based on the point system he made out of thin air, and then when we lynch EM he goes, guys I convinced you soooooo hard that you guys deserve to lose if you don't follow my spreadsheet.
You didn't convince us on anything dude, you laid out information we all could have observed and placed some arbitrary points into it, then said you're disgusted with the town after a mislynch. That's some major convincing you did.
And you guys are right, why waste a vote on myself. I'll use MY vote on who I think is scum. Because you realize that Varpulis is right, you switch to orgolove, to act more like a townie and act like you are trying to kill the scum. But you just use the same arguments against him that everyone else has. Another bandwagon. You realize that this is 3 band wagons you have joined, all without adding to the accusation? I know where my vote is going today. ##Vote: ilovejonn
I noted something interesting at the end of that post (bold for emphasis). sinani206 says he was voting on orgolove to seem more town, but orgolove rarely come up in the top of most-scummy lists. I wonder if sinani206 accidentally outed a fellow scum.

That makes a whole lot of sense, Forumite.

So I read through all of sinani's posts and didn't really find anything of value except a couple possible WIFOM arguments. Instead I did a search for all the references of sinani206. Opening ~150 different tabs is really a pain. Even worse, I accidentally lost my post part way through so I had to reopen a bunch more -_-
I split the posts I found in two categories: Pro-town and suspicious.
Orgoloves spreadsheet only keeps track of voting records, but I think thread presence and whether someone attacks or defends a scum should also be taken into account.
Pro-town

Conclusions:
-I didn't realize how hard Varpulis had pushed for his lynch. He came out looking pretty good. I'm leaning towards 90% town for him.
-DropBear was real wish-washy. He was one of the first people to bring up sinani and pushed for his lynch day 3, but then he got cold feed on day 4. I'm also leaning town since this doesn't seem like a mafia reaction to me.
-Impervious and jaminz are my two remaining scum suspects at the moment. Impervious defended sinani pretty hard without providing any decent reasons besides we would get more information lynching someone else. jaminz doesn't even mention sinani day three or day four until its obvious he can't be saved near the end of the cycle.

redtooth managed less: He voted for sinani dead last without even posting in the game thread .
I agree that impervious is somebody to be suspicious of. I don''t agree about jaminz, but my argument that he's town isn't solid, I admit that.

I think the only thing scummy about jaminz at the moment is that he only made his vote last minute, and it happened to be on the wrong person.
redtooth is my top suspect right now.

That's just it - if we're not sure about a lynch today, why would you want to lynch someone who could potentially be useful in the future?
I don't think that checking the changes in activity levels of people is a smart way to analyze someone. Believe it or not, RL things catch up to people.....

Alright, let me point out a few things I'm having problems with here.
To begin with, you state that you would be okay with lynching jaminz because he is inactive. This is immediately after you state that you do not want to lynch redtooth, even though he is being inactive. redtooth being inactive is great cause for worry. He is a veteran player, which means that at this point he should be contributing regularly and helping town out. He was even the last person to vote for sinani206, and didn't post reasoning for it in the thread. redtooth should be way more suspicious than jaminz right now.
You also state that you would be okay to lynch ilovejonn, just to clear up the confusion about him and EternalMisfit. Not because you think he is mafia, but because people are confused about him.
|
Impervious, your argument does not sit well with me. I simply do not agree that just because he could be useful later in the case that he's town, we should not lynch him because we think that he's mafia.
I'm not suffering from indecision. I've made my choice. It's not just the changing activity levels either. Look through redtooth's last 10 posts. Is there any real content? those 10 posts have a timeline of almost 2 in-game days, and 5 real life days.
If you're going to be unable to devote time to the game for that long, you should at least have the courtesy to tell the mod/other players about it. redtooth is experienced enough, he should know that.

And information is not important?
I was pretty certain that either EM or sinani would be red. Not both, but one of them.
At the time, we had much more limited information than we do now. Out of all the possible outcomes:
EM is scum, sinani is town - we could be very sure that ilj is town.
sinani is scum, EM is town - doesn't tell us anything about ilj's allegiance.
EM and sinani are both town - yet again, it doesn't tell us anything about ilj's allegiance.
Both being scum is out of the question..... For pretty obvious reasons..... But it would also clear ilj if it somehow happened.
So, looking at the info based on what could happen:
Lynch EM - Flips Red - We know sinani and ilj are town.
Lynch EM - Flips Green - Suspect sinani
Lynch sinani - Flips Red - EM is cleared
Lynch sinani - Flips Green - Suspect EM
The only situation where we would be able to find out more info on the first lynch was the first one - the one I advocated. In hindsight, it was the wrong move, however, based on the info we had, I'll stick to my decision that it was the better lynch at the time. Granted, it wasn't much better than the other options, but it was still the better option.

Actually, it's not just because he's inactive - if I had to choose between jaminiz and redtooth for a lynch right now, I'd choose jaminiz.
Why?
Because I don't know what jaminiz can contribute, while I know that redtooth can deliver, and I'm not sure if either of them are actually mafia.
There's no guarantee that redtooth will deliver, but lynching jaminiz would be the lesser of two evils.
Also, yes, I am a supporter of policy or information lynches. While it would be nice to be able to peg the mafia in our next two lynches, I find that highly unlikely. So anything we can do that will get us closer to determining who they actually are in the case that we don't lynch correctly is definitely going to help us out later on. We're not in a lylo right now.....
