The town wants you!
youngminii got this completely right.
There is a very strong case against GMarshal on the table.
He has claimed a role that makes it incredibly easy to confirm him. Sure the mafia will off him, but it will throw light on the situation.
He has yet to be shot. I am pleading to you guys, you one shot vigilantes. Please, please shoot GMarshal and then claim it in the last 6 hours of the day.
It would be detrimental to town if you force us to lynch him. GMarshal must be shot to produce a better atmosphere to work in. Your services are required. The Brother Leader and Guide of the Town needs your help. This is only in the name of justice and for the good of our people.
Show that you are a loyal townie, shoot GMarshal.

Actually, you can claim the shot as soon as GMarshal says he's been shot, as by that point you're just normal vanilla town.
Now get hunting, bring me some GMarshal steak.

I agree with almost everything that has been said so far.
Great job Varpulis.
About the GM thing. It's extremely unfortunate that he hasn't been shot. What he's posting right now seems genuine, but it also isn't help the town any way. There are still way too may loose ends, and as some of us have noted, part of his posting looks like his typical mafia death. I would be all for confirming him town because he is a great asset for us if he is on our side. I have great respect for GM as player.
But there is simply no way we're letting him live through the game without confirming him. He has pulled way too many scummy things to do it. Yes, there are several things that point towards him being innocent, but so are there quite a few very incriminating things.
It's by far the worse alternative, but he has to hang.
I still strongly oppose using DT checks on the lurker list. Do you really think we have multiple mafia in there VisceraEyes?
But yes, us not having a one-shot vigilante would make perfect sense, seeing the lack of shots into the lurker list. We're doing great, let's keep on track.
Wiggles's points about the effect of Varp's death on VE's alignment are completely correct. This does not tell us anything about it. But at the moment I think VE is still a nice gamble for the town to trust. So we're not changing anything.

There is another problem with having to hang GMarshal. The reason the first day was so productive is that we had clearly defined goals and a great contention of targets to argue back and forth on. Hanging GMarshal seems so far almost something that people will unanimously agree one, which means a good chunk of discussion is going to be lost in the progress.
Very few alternative lynches are being pushed at the moment.
In any case, if there are no shots later today, then this entire thing will only be about lynching GMarshal, which will always be far less productive than our day 1.

I'm not asking anyone to let me live through the game. We know theres a comp-vigi who shot DB this morning. Have him shoot me tomorrow. I'll claim when I get hit, if I'm lying then the comp vig knows and can shoot me. Guaranteed townie or dead scum, its win win. Doesn't even require anyone else to claim, I lie, I die. Or you can waste a lynch.
That means the compulsive vigilante, who is a great town asset, has to reveal himself to confirm you.
It's not a trade worth making, in my opinion, especially since we seem to have a very competent compulsive viglante. You are not worth his life in your current situation. Normally you would be, but this game you have underperformed, and our vigilante has taken a great shot.
And yes, once again, if this is a mislynch and people need an outlet to rage at if it fails, I'll take the blame for it. I make decisions, many of them are bound to be wrong, but I stand by them. Every time.

hmm
yeah sure, assuming there are no other kills tomorrow by town, we can assume the comp vigi shot went towards GMarshal
I'd dig this because I really would prefer discussing other lynch targets.

yep, you're right.
I dig this plan, I think. will post a bigger post later.
|
So, let's have a look at this situation.
Pro factors:
We get a much healthier lynch discussion. We don't risk lynching a very strong player based on some random mistakes. Worst case, we kill a strong mafia player, best case, we get a semi-confirmed strong town player.
Con factors:
I still think GM is scum. We tie the hands of an otherwise seemingly great compulsive vigilante. If GM is scum, we're only hunting 2 mafia in a pool of 20 players. Quickly ending the whole GM thing casts some extra light on our current situation.
|
And here is another scenario that'd suck massively:
We mislynch tonight and GM is scum
That'd mean we had the chance to reduce mafia KP to 1, but since we let GM live, we're giving them an extra kill.
Like, this is assuming a ton of things, but it would suck.
|
And in any case, a good work atmosphere probably weighs out the chance of an extra town kill tomorrow.
I'm willing to support an alternative lynch tonight.
|
By the way, on a completely unrelated note.
I re-read everything by chaos13 I could find, but at this point I don't think he's scum. But given it's based on my analysis, this probably just means he's not a cop.
Probably town
Supersoft (replacement for sinani206) Cthsazsa Mig chaos13 Eiii VisceraEyes
Null read
gtrsrs Mataza (replaced aprudds) youngminii Jackal58 Vain ~OpZ~
Could be scum
GMarshal Hyaach hiro protagonist Sinani201 AKA Nisani201 Mr. Wiggles syllogism
This is just based on quick observation of the current state of the game. Note that I've listed like 6 possible scum, which obviously is never going to be correct.
I'm particularly interested in Hiro Protagonist (who was accused early by now known mafia, but then just disappeared) and Mr. Wiggles (who wrote a pretty damning analysis of Hiro Protagonist).

btw, just so you know syllo.
I answered the question "Generally, yes" but you didn't ask specifically about this game, in which it'd make no sense to only have one mafia person doing the killing.
I am sorry you went through all the trouble.
Btw, just PM hosts with questions like these, and if you intend to use information like this in the game, then be sure that the answer isn't a general one, but a specific one.
Again, sorry if I made you believe that there was some kind of a rule that said the godfather had to do it.

Let's get this show on the road
So, here we are with incredible results on day 2. Three mafia players are down and we're doing quite well in keeping the discussion active and the fingers pointing all over the place. I don't know if any of the true veterans feel the same way, but currently I feel like this is the strongest town play that I've ever been part of
Let's keep it that way.
The GMarshal dilemma
GMarshal has pretty damning evidence against him. I summarized some of the really weird things that happened around the Drazerk lynch right here.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=10062251
But let's not forget, GMarshal also has a few points in his favour.
- Drazerk tried to cuddle up to his manly chest. This looks a lot like Draz trying to frame GM should Draz die. Especially noteworthy is the sentence "Well at least when I flip green it proves GM innocent". It could well be theorized that the meaning of his sentence was the exact opposite.
- TAA told us specifically not to DT check GM, and added that if he was mafia, then he'd be the godfather. This is my best guess for his DT check day 1. TAA checked GM and got an innocent result.
- GM claimed veteran, a role that we can easily check and confirm without revealing our vigilante.
This does not mean in any way that GMarshal is clear. This simply means we should use our resources as intelligently as we possibly can and shoot him tomorrow. If he claims getting shot without actually getting shot, then our Vigi just kills him for lying.
It's simple as that.
This is the reason I want the town to not kill GMarshal tonight. If for some reason the same bullshit happens tomorrow, and he remains living with no confirmation. I'll be the first one to fight for getting him hanged.
We have the option of easily confirming or denying GM, and his lynch will probably be a quiet one. I don't want that. I want people creaming and shouting around the lynch. Because only that way can we gain the information we need to proceed intelligently in the game.
So, without further ado, I shall now present an alternative lynch target. Syllo has suggested youngminii, and I will be suggesting Nisani201.
Why Nisani201 is scum
First off. This was almost skipped over in the frantic discussion leading up to the day 1 lynch. And since half the town wanted to kill Sinani206 at the time, people didn't really stop to give it a second look.
But in the light of recent events, I am going to quote this analysis originally by Sinani206 on his twin, because it's actually a pretty damn good analysis.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=10056232
On June 30 2011 08:07 sinani206 wrote:Nisani201
- Number and length of posts
Nisani201 has 36 posts in the thread, 24 of which are from after the Day 1 post. His mean post length is 2.5 sentences, his mode post length is 2 sentences, and his maximum post length is 6 sentences which he reached 2 times. Just keep these numbers in mind as I continue this analysis.
- Contentless posting
Here is an example of one of Nisani201's better posts:

I just looked through Syllogism's posts. While they may not necessarily all of opinions in them, only two of them seem somewhat pointless, which isn't enough to warrant a lynch. Cthsazsa's analysis on Drazerk seems to be correct and I definitely think that he is scum. And thus, I place my vote. ##Vote: Drazerk
In this post, he simply agrees with sandroba's thoughts that syllogism is town and Cthsazsa's analysis, which showed that Drazerk was scum. He does not provide any new content.
His other 6-sentence gem:
On June 29 2011 10:33 Sinani201 wrote: This trend of shooting down spammy players is insanely stupid; it's what lost the town in XVII. Cthasza wrote a fantastic analysis on Drazerk, and if he's right about it then there shouldn't be a reason to lynch him.
I'm voting for Draserk because he is full of contradictions and slip-ups, NOT because of spam.
That is all.
He provides one tiny piece of advice: not to kill spammy players, which is only half-right: lynch scum, shoot spammers. He re-references Cthasza's analysis and defends his vote, but he doesn't give any evidence of Drazerk's "contradictions and slip-ups."
These are Nisani201's two longest posts, and both of them are simply parroting what others have said and stating the obvious without adding any new analysis to the table.
- Active lurking
Here are some examples of what the average Nisani201 post looks like:

He's certainly no vet as far as I'm concerned.
Palmar is not in this game, he submitted /out soon before the game started. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=237124¤tpage=6#109

These are all bits of information that are not useful to the town in any way and questions that can easily be answered by reading the OP. He makes these posts because he doesn't want to have to post content, but he doesn't want to seem inactive.

If someone dies from lurker KP, do they get banlisted? You're already voting for me? First off, I am not Sinani201. I'm Nisani201.

This is his "analysis" of chaos13, where he points out that he is either Mafia or Medic. This contribution does not help town at all. The fact that he could be on either side is useless, and pointing out that he could be Medic helps Mafia, as GMarshal pointed out.

He is referring my supposed scumslips which were posted by sandroba. He refuses to take a stance on my play. He is acting extremely safe and neutral, which is a scummy trait.
A more recent post:
On June 30 2011 00:40 Sinani201 wrote: Drazerk has posts that give off scumtells. For Viscera, it's a lack of posts.
I don't understand why the bandwagon against Drazerk is a bad thing. A lot of people are voting for him. That just means Cthsasa's analysis against him was good. It's not OMGUS, it's just agreement.
He says that a lot of people are voting for Drazerk because Cthazsa's analysis was good. I assume he was talking about himself as well when he said this. He subtly explains that he is voting because of the analysis, not because he actually thought that Drazerk was scummy. This is a major scumslip. He is basically saying he found a good analysis to hide behind.
Finally, he says this in response to Drazerk's analysis of me:
On June 30 2011 04:09 Sinani201 wrote: You're trying to draw attention away from the large amount of votes you have accumulated. We have pretty much established that you are scum so why should anyone trust you?
This is a scummy post because Drazerk's analysis of me was good because it could have started some healthy discussion, and as scum, Nisani201 would want to stop all discussion, which he does, which proves his scumminess.
That took an hour and a half to write. Whew. My vote will stay on VisceraEyes today, but tomorrow, I urge all of you to vote for Nisani 201. Thank you, good sirs.
Thing is, this didn't end back then. I'm not really the post by post kind of guy, but most of his contributions have been basically observations and random points. Most of these have been one-liners and other content-free posts.
He pointed out who Sandroba Fos'd after sanroba got shot.
He quoted some posts after Varpulis got shot
He answered some questions.
And then, when the spotlight was again on him his response is.
On July 02 2011 00:59 Sinani201 wrote: Why do people think I'm scum? You've accused me a few times this game, please explain why.
If you're town, then you shouldn't be asking people to explain to you why you're scum. Instead your job is to go out and hunt scum on your own. One of the things I look at when I hunt scum is people who are more focused on themselves than on their targets. Sinani201's response looks that way.
Conclusion
Sinani201 is scum
We're still looking for more targets. Show your support! Contribute!
Your Brother Leader and Guide needs you.

yeah i think it's likely that viscera is faking it by not revealing varpulis' role, and only breadcrumbing that he was blue (in fact i think he only said "varpulis is innocent" which mafia would obviously know), he was able to let the mafia hit varpulis, and if varpulis flipped green he could have said something like "nice! i baited the mafia into hitting a green, my breadcrumbs worked!"
so then we've got
kenpachi drazerk dropbear
and in my eyes, 3 of the following sinani201 hiro protagonist viscera GMarshal
or maybe sinani206 who is now supersoft.
pretty solid list to work with. i feel like it might have come too easily though. if GMarshal was scum i doubt he'd let his team make mistakes like they're making. but at the same time he HAS claimed to be busy, so that would explain his lack of leadership.
anyways i guess the right thing to do is lynch sinani/hiro today, shoot GMarshal tomorrow, and lynch viscera tomorrow, right?
In any case
VE would never out Varp's role until in the last 6 hours. it'd be retarded to tell the mafia he was a hatter.

He would be an excellent lurker hit today imo. People I think are town sinani206 - I was rather suspicious of his posts to begin with, so I checked over them. I think it is far more likely that he is town than scum, he has had some that can be construed as anti-town, but I do not believe that was their intention. Palmar - Sure, there are some people who are suspicious of him, but all I can see is that it revolves around him being too pro-town. He has shown that he is charismatic and can be a good leader, and he has had many opportunities to use this to completely derail discussion, but has instead used it to focus discussion when it begins to get scattered or off-topic. Uncertain VisceraEyes - Could be DT, could be a major bus. However, if he returns Varpulis result as town and viscera is scum, he'll easily be counterclaimed. Varp, if he claims you are vanilla town and you are a blue role, wait until the last six hours to refute his claim. Lanaia - I had an early town read on (him/her?) because everything posted was consistently solid and pro-town. However, since then I haven't seen much content, and I am growing more suspicious. Cthsazsa - Similar case to Lanaia. I already made an admittedly weak case, and he shot it down with no problem. It was such a good case that I was convinced he was town. However, a lack of content since then has disturbed me. Vain - I have seen nothing really pro-town, so I'll be keeping a close eye on him. He's leaning more towards scummy than uncertain. Anyone else I have no real read on at the moment. The uncertain players I mentioned are simply the ones I have no read on that stand out to me.
