The more complicated explination is that he is mafia, he fabricates a post about his scumbuddie tntked being town, and posts it in hopes the above argument is assumed, and a vig doesnt hit him or tnkted making him look guilty, or tntked isnt lynched anyway, exposing jackal as a liar, and now the scum is down by 2.

Or they're both mafia making a gambit to gain towncred. Look how fast half the town believed tnkted. What's weird to me is that tnkted seems to know how Jackal knows he is town. This makes very little sense to me, since certainly tnkted would back up Jackal when Jackal is defending him, but then why would tnkted push Jackal to explain it, in a way that seems as if tnkted already knows HOW Jackal knows? It just doesn't add up to me.
Hmmm I did not think about that. The only way that i could think up is the fact that maybe a mason-like role exists in the game. This also comes up a bit empty because how would jackal hold more pieces to the puzzle.
Tntked, any info is better for us than no info at all. Please explain what to your knowledge is going on here.

I think i figured it out actually through extensive research, not 100% sure yet though. I will wait for jackal to let us in on what's actually up.

@Jackal I think i know what pony you are, of course that doesn't give me any info on your role other than what you have provided. But moving on...
It appears we have two choices at this point in time. Lynch Jackal to confirm tntked, with the risk of losing a small PM circle (along with whatever else jackal has), Or we accept this claim for now and move onto scumhunting until we learn more information. I am in favor of the latter at the moment. So I would like to direct your attention to

Not the best analysis, honestly just posting a link to his filter would have been more effecient.
With this lack of analysis, nisani must have been really active and contributing right? well i decided to go read his filter in context and... nothing. Nisani has managed to slip under most every single radar. I plan to remedy that.
The focal point of Nisani's current activity is around the time when Sinani was in danger of getting lynched. It is important to note, however, that Nisani does very little actual defending of Sinani, while making it look like he is. Let me elaborate.

I will move my vote over to wherebugsgo, because he was perfectly active until we started arguing. He has posted no opinions on it because he doesn't feel the need to; he can afford for any of us to die. He simply comments on the same things that Curu has been bringing up, which is "Sinani played horribly in Ace's game, so we should lynch him."

Perfectly good other lynch candidate? He hasn't even mentioned another player until chainsaw voting on dreamflower. This post is very much bullshit. So much so, that I will be putting my vote on you. This kind of behavior is anti-town. ##Vote: Curu
Note how in these posts he establishes a connection to sinani, he clearly does not want him lynched and believes him to be town. In fact, he even presents WBG and curu as alternative targets. Also notice, however, that he never really tries to get people to vote for WBG or Curu because he knew he could get sinani to die. Because of said connection, and Sinani's green flip, Nisani has not been looked at that much today, because we associated their connection as two townies defending each other.
I propose this assumption is incorrect. I think that Nisani is Scum, and tried his very best to look like he was defending sinani, when in reality he was really doing nothing of the sort.
So when day 2 rolls around, he picks up on our newest target, tntked, and thinks he can get a wagon rolling right off the bat. but at what point has nisani ever expressed interest in voting tntked? thats right, never.

Say what?
I believe you mixxed together my and forumite's post directly above you

Forum, what is your pick for a good lynch target today, if we are to assume that you, WBG, tntked, and jackal are all town for the moment.
|
Those forum breadcrumbs still take place before Jackal even mentioned having an element, not even mentioning the fact that they were in halves. That makes it look less like a gamble, and more like we have even less idea of whats going on.
Cyber_Cheese, welcome to a truely messed up situation. care to weigh in? what do you think of the current events at the moment, and who do you feel is our best lynch today?

"Honesty" is an element of harmony
|
As far as i can tell, the 6 elements of harmony probably all exist in this game. Judging from flavor posts and from the discussion taking place at the moment, It is probable that the elements are released in stages, not all at once. if they were realeased all at once then why don't we have more claims from townies about their elements? We really don't know.
As far as I can see the day started out alright, but then went to shit mega fast. This is, at least for me, due to the fact that people without a piece of an element have no idea what is going on. Therefor i think anymore discussion regarding the potential mechanics of this game need to be kept to a minimum. All we can do for now is trust that those townies with the pieces don't act stupid with them. That is until we gain more info from a flip, DT check, or the day/night posts.
We got an extra 15 hours guys, but we need to be talking about lynch targets. At the moment I have noticed a conspicuous absense of dreamflower. She was not the most active day1, but she did have detailed posts. I'd like her to weigh in. I'm keeping my vote on Nisani for the reasons i stated earlier, and until he explains the hell out of this.

Lucidity, how do you explain the fact that WBG gave his piece to tntked? and that tntked confirmed that he received said piece?
between the two major canidates, Im going to have to go for lucidity, his argument for WBG is based almost completely off meta from 1 game where he was blue, and a tracker at that. The play you described as a "tunnelwhore extrodinare" fits the play for a tracker, but not that for other town aligned roles he might get this game.
On top of that there is this post

I am currently unconvinced by the cases so far, as they tend to be based on post-by-post analyses of posts made on Day 1, when most of us were unsure of what we should be discussing or trying to accomplish. Generally, I tend to be skeptical of post-by-post analysis, as they often are just nitpicking at small contradictions or confusing phrases in posts that perhaps the poster just didn't think through clearly and they seem to assume that Mafia will give themselves away a little in every post, which they usually don't. Right now, the cases made against Forumite and Greymist strike me as being more like townies accusing townies, so I'm hesitant to vote for a lynch based on those cases.
I did think it was a little odd that Forumite asked for a DT check on Jackal. But it seems like Jackal is a pretty well-known player, so I suppose it makes sense that he is subject to the scrutiny that well-known players tend to receive, like Ver or Ace. Jackal himself also seems quieter than I expected, though perhaps that is only because it is so early in the game.
So, I would much prefer lynching a lurker right now. The lurkers that stand out most to me are Sevryn and DroneAllDay. Of these two, the latter has specifically stated that he is very new and will be lurking a lot, which on one hand could be an honest statement of confusion but on the other hand could be a Mafia trying to look like a clueless newbie. The former, Sevryn, has made only a few game-related, non-pony-discussing posts, most regarding the Day post and how it'll give us more to talk about. Yet, he himself hasn't said anything substantial after the Day post except "Oh yay Day post. So, what are the Elements of Harmony?" I would very much like to hear from these two players sometime soon. I also wouldn't mind hearing about everyone's thoughts regarding the merits and flaws of lynching inactives versus lynching someone in particular. Essentially this post served two purposes: - Introducing the idea of really attempting to lynch a lurker today. Getting a feel for our willingness to follow such a strategy with the last sentence.
- Discrediting the cases brought forward so far.
Lynching lurkers should be a last resort. Going after lurkers (and by lurkers she actually means INACTIVES) allows scum to not offer any opinions and simply sheep onto an easy vote. This is not an ideal situation to say the least. She discredits the cases against Forumite and Greymist, by simply saying that she doesn't like post by post analysis and that she thinks townies are accusing townies. Could you explain why you think townies are accusing townies dreamflower? You offer no reason to doubt the case based on actual discussion points. Simply "oh I'm unconvinced". Show nested quote +On September 14 2011 00:25 dreamflower wrote: Bah. And now that I posted, Sevryn has posted and even voted for Forumite. -_- I'm still a little cautious about the case on Forumite, as people seem to be basing it mostly on that one post and making him defend his ideas. I agree that his defense has also been inept, but I don't think it necessarily means he is Mafia.
For now, I guess I will just vote for DroneAllDay. And learn to refresh the page a lot better while I'm posting.
##vote DroneAllDay Note the displeasure when she sees that someone else voted Forumite. So instead of waiting for other's opinions on the LaL strategy she proposed, she goes ahead with it to try and divert attention away from real scum hunting by voting for DroneAllDay. Look at the reasoning in that post. She is visibly upset with another vote on Forumite. She thinks his defense is inept. But somehow he does not deserve any attention. Instead she "guesses" she'll vote for DroneAllDay. Point? She's defending Forumite with no real reasoning. She puts her vote on an inactive, not a lurker.

Inactives are most likely going to be mod killed. Lurkers on the other hand are a different animal. There is a difference between the two. When you said inactives I'm pretty sure you were still referring to lurkers. Ah, true. Yes, I was referring to lurkers when I said inactives. My apologies. A lot of my thinking still dates back to the olden days before inactivity modkills or the Ban List, so please excuse me if I phrase things oddly like that. I also agree about OriginalName, whom I'm a little annoyed about not noticing myself. I also noticed that DroneAllDay's statement of Mafia newness came very soon after he signed up and long before roles were sent out, so that pretty much rules out his being a Mafia trying to masquerade as a newbie. My mistake there. OriginalName's one contribution to the thread after the Day post has been to call Forumite's post "a huge pile of fluff," but after that he hasn't said anything else at all. That does look more like lurking than outright inactivity.To add my own opinion on the merits of lynching lurkers, I think it is a good idea early on, when we don't have much information to work with. I agree that lynching lurkers doesn't yield much information afterward, but I don't think going after "real" targets always does either. The people who argue for a townie to be lynched or vote for their lynch are not necessarily Mafia themselves. So, I don't think either approach can give us much in the way of useful information. The part highlighted in red essentially explains why ON is where her vote should be. DroneAllDay is an inactive, which she doesn't want to go for. She wants lurkers, and ON is one. Yet her vote stays on DroneAllDay. She dedicates an entire paragraph to explaining why DAD is a bad vote, and then doesn't change it. Then she goes on to try and push the LaL objective. We shouldn't be lynching for information. DEFINITELY not on Day 1. We should be hunting scum. Lynching lurkers (inactives) is not scum hunting. It doesn't give us any information, which you think is important? Yet you still advocate lynching lurkers. Going after "real" targets actually DOES offer us information ito voting patterns, defenses e t c . Not that, that is our first priority, but it blows your LaL policy out of the water. tl;dr Defends Forumite and greymist with no reasoning. Pushes anti-town objective of lynching inactives instead of scum hunting. (Note that she really means inactives when she says lurkers, even though she indicated otherwise. Her posts make that clear enough.)
