The only reason someone should consider passing off the ring is if they strongly suspect they are going to get hit or right before a lynch. In addition to giving it to someone that they think is town, they also need to make sure that person is safe from hits. Once the ring falls into scum hands, its pretty likely that its going to stay there unless there is a vig shot or something. If you do pass off the ring at some point, you can probably claim since there is a strong likelihood that the first person to get it is town like DrH mentioned. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some alternate win conditions attempting to obtain the ring.

Also, curu mentioned earlier that he could rebalance the setup with 25/26 rather than 30, so that probably means there is a 4:1 scum ratio.

Step 3, avoid lynching an easy target. This is a player with a few bad posts, or some flip floppy votes, or a badly phrased 'scum slip'. Easy targets give scum great excuses to get on a bandwagon. Instead we're going to lynch someone who is fairly active, but not saying anything worthwhile. With 5 posts per cycle it means we're going to have something to go on, however likely not till the later half of Day 1. Which leads to:

Wait does anyone think that he was seriously trying to get the ring?? I thought it was quite clear that his original post was a joke, not just the content he makes it look joking, it really is a null tell and doesn't matter if he contradicts it, cause you know, it was a joke...


Why defend him like this, just because he claims it was a joke at the time doesnt it mean it nessicarily does.

He basically went "Ok guys gimmie the ring" then once people were like "wtf are you retarded or scum or some shits" then hes like naw JK.

I mean really the only time your at all connected to him is this post and desite people being suspicious you have not given your thoughts into at all, all youve done really is talk about the ring and tunnel drazerk for borderline silly reasons.

Navillus, I feel as if you're pulling the noob card. This is your 6th game, you should know better than to claim day one. I looked through your older games and couldn't find any other instance where you opened the game with a claim, combined with the fact you decided to sound really angry with the random censored swears, makes me suspicious. Besides the random vote on Drazerk, who do you suspect right now?


6th game != learned anything in 1-5, esp. cause I died really quickly in some and wasn't paying that much attention to most of them so I couldn't really learn. Also you're either lying about looking through my games, or just didn't really try, cause last game I played I opened with basically the same line, a complaint about getting VT yet again (I think it was cosmic horror, if not it was 2 games ago in werewolves but I'm pretty sure it was cosmic horror.)

As to my thoughts, I'm even more skeptical on Drazerk, I had figured that that first vote was pressure, and from what I know Dr. H is a very good vet player so I figured that's exactly what he was doing when he added his vote on, but Drazerk isn't as good as Dr. H, I could see him being scum and thinking that they could actually get a wagon going, then what made me more suspicious is that he completely ducks my vote and instead attacks me.


Dont bullshit noobcard me.

at this point goes, "Oh he can do it but this person cannot because clearly this person is clearly beneath me and we should totally completely lynch him amirite?

I'm going to keep an open mind about him but it just doesn't make sense for scum to draw attention to themselves by VT claiming so early when it'd be so much easier to say nothing.


Also, I disagree with your chastizing Drazerk for going along with a Grey vote without really giving a clear explanation. Reasons were already given, so really I don't see a problem with a random pressure vote – it's only when that vote remains unchanged at the end of the day that one should start becoming suspicious. In fact, I feel as though those guys quick to defend Grey and jump on Draz for that vote are more likely scum establishing town cred (or possibly defending a scum buddy).

At this point I'm gonna vote for wherebugsgo.

I feel like 3rd parties tend to be more harmful to town than scum and at the very least he hasn't been particularly pro-town. Throw on top of that the potential that he's full of shit or that we might learn something about the game set-up/mechanics, I'm perfectly happy to see him flip.

Clear lack of reading comprehension/hasn't read the thread.

Granted, from what I saw in XLIV his town play is absolutely horrible so I'm not inclined to think he's scum. However, the type of logic he's using is precisely pro-mafia logic. I wouldn't put it past him to be scum, but for now we just need to push more posts out of our friend here Pyo.

Specifically, the bolded part is his reason for voting me. In other words, he doesn't think I'm scum. He's voting me because he wants to get information.

That's a terrible reason to want to lynch someone. You lynch someone primarily because you think they're scum. You get information NO MATTER WHO YOU LYNCH.


way to not read my post and selectively bolded not my reason for voting for you – getting information is only icing on the cake... I'm voting for you because your indirect 3rd party claim is bizarre and distracting at best. Also the fact that you haven't been consistent with your "gimme the ring" nonsense leads me to believe that you're full of shit about actually having a posting restriction.

Scum is voting me. I'll keep this short since I'm on my phone.

I asked for the ring relentlessly. People thought that was scummy. Look at the bandwagon on me right now.

Then, look at Jackal's votepost on me. He says it's a good idea to give me the ring, because he doubts the game will end if I get it, but wants to lynch me anyway.

That's a pro mafia stance. If I get the ring and get lynched, the ring is randomly sent to one of the voters. If the majority of the voters are scum then they get a better chance of getting the ring.

Between Dr H, Jackal, Pyo, iGrok, and Drazerk, I'd bet we can find at least 3 scum. (these are the current voters on me)

You can also easily make a case against any one of these players. Filter them all if you don't believe me.


That makes no sense... in a situation where votes are scattered all over the place, why would scum put 3 onto the same person. Additionally, if scum really wanted you dead, they'd kill you at night – with split votes like we have it should be really easy for them push for the lynch of someone they know to be town. You're also misconstruing what Jackal said – he said we should get rid of you either by lynching you or if that fails by giving you the ring. Paraphrasing what people say to alter their meaning is incredibly scummy. My vote stays on you.

As I said earlier and as Kitaman has nailed pretty well, we absolutely need to encourage the lurkers to participate. If they don't participate, or we let them get away with stupid shit (more on this later) then we are just hurting ourselves.

We cannot let mafia blend in, and we need to identify when someone is trying to blend in, to identify them as scum. I will give you all two examples of this right now:

Firstly, this guy is saying absolutely nothing with this entire post.

He says there are so many people yelling at each other, that it's hard to read what's going on. He insinuates that there is a lot of confusion and noise, yet he adds to this by splitting the vote even further and throwing a shitty vote on a person who so far has not done anything scummy (as far as I can tell.) The worst part is that there are no specifics in this post.

wat

so, he says there are "many plans and ideas, some good some bad." Way to go sherlock, either the plan is good or it's bad. You've really told us a lot there. What the fuck is that supposed to contribute? What's specifically good about these "good plans"? Who made them?

What about the bad plans? The only thing he alludes to is that he thinks people like me and Trance are probably fine and just giving bad ideas. Well, the only idea I've pushed is giving me the ring. Trance is receiving votes, if Archon is scum then it totally makes sense for him to soft defend him here. And "all the guys" talking like us are fine.

Whoa, so if someone makes a plan they're autoconfirmed town? Wtf?

God this makes no sense whatsoever.

Yeah hey guess what genius, you were lurking until now too, AFTER you were called out on your shitty posting record. I'm pretty sure you're just throwing a random vote out there and feigning analysis so you don't get a shitstorm for not posting and not contributing anything.

This isn't even a real vote!

This is an example of exactly what I want to see from him, as compared to all the 'ring lol' trolling and if he can keep it up he's realistically a valuable asset for town.


Huh? what? you can seriously consider that to the sort of analysis that you expect from people... How in the world does Archon_toilet's nonsensical tunneling of GGQ "blend in"? He also misconstrues what I said in his "analysis" of me... Basically, his big huge long analysis was a load of crap. Factor in the timing of his post (after he started drawing serious attention and was accused of being spammy), it's clear that he felt pressured to give the appearance of "being helpful to town" when in fact he's just continuing to say nonsensical things.

My vote is going on Bugs. Having played a couple of games with him now I know he is aggressive as town. He has not trolled any games to this point. His activity level is the same but his style is different. I don't believe he is mafia but I do believe he is 3rd party with a separate win condition from town. Right now I see two options for him. Lynch him or give him the ring and see what happens.
If he and the ring leave the game that is probably not a bad thing.
If we lynch him and the ring stays in the game that's probably not quite as optimal but still not a bad thing. Worse case scenario is they are both still here tomorrow.
If you have the ring give it to Bugs. I can't believe that will end the game. The ring is inherently evil anyways.

Other than Bugs the only person that has struck me as off is Heist. I'm more sure of Bugs not being town than I am of Heist being scum so Bugs is getting my vote.


Jackal said "Lynch him OR give him the ring." It's pretty clear what Jackal meant and it wasn't what you claimed it to be.

That is how scum manipulate town into believing what they want you to... It's how chaoser got away with that bullshit DT claim in XLIV, for example.

If you guys decide to give me the ring, fine, if you don't, you're just hurting yourselves.

Of course, I might actually have to put everything on a nice silver platter, since most townies are usually extraordinarily thick and incapable of reasoning.


That doesn't make sense... we're hurting ourselves by not giving you the ring? Who are you talking to? Town or Mafia? The whole ring garbage has been completely nonsensical and at best irrelevant to town.

That's how day 1 works. There's no way everyone is going to follow everything in intimate detail, you pick your couple of people you want to focus on and analyze what they say and who they say it to, you know the whole "FOS" thing. And to be clear at least I haven't ignored everything else going on in the thread. The people I find most suspicious aren't the guys running around like village idiots (archon_toilet/Drazerk), it's the guys calling them guys scum.

Just caught up with the thread. My comments/responses so far...

WBG was predictably lying about his claim, although I guess it was too ridiculous for anyone other than Palmar to have been claiming a role/post restriction like that as scum.

Speaking of Palmar, I find his lack of participation in the thread to be very curious... I've played 3 games with him, one with him as mafia, one with him as an 3rd party and one with him as town and in all 3 he was in everyone's face about everything... Basically, what I'm trying to say is that he's out of character independent of his alignment, so his odd behavior is kind of a NULL tell.

I'm a little suspicious of radfield to be honest his analysis seems too good and too "correct." I'm mostly referring to this post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11445752, but others as well. I won't advocate lynching him in case he really is that good (mafia will likely kill him soon if he's actually town), but I'd warn against reading too much into his assertion that people who stuck with their day 1 votes are automatically more scummy than the people that switched... feels like a convenient way for scum to sheep votes onto people. (Note, I'm town and I kept my vote on bugs because I felt like he was lying/being deceptive about his role claim/posting restriction... which he was)

And to respond to ON (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=264699&currentpage=41#814: bugs most certainly did indirectly claim his role in this post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=264699&currentpage=17#331

As a side note, it would be rather fun if WBG is indeed Gollum and part of his role is asking for the ring in every single post he makes. And I know I just said that theorycrafting gets us nowhere near to catching mafia but I can't help myself.

If that's not claiming, I don't know what is. Obviously, at the time I had no idea that Dr. H was scum... not sure what to make of bugs now - if it even matters.

you aren't the boss of me... I don't like the fact that you're telling me that I have to vote for one of those 3. You followed/led the lynch of Erandorr and no one really gave you any shit for it.

In fact you tried to spin WBG and errador both flipping town as an indicator of your townness:

Mafia had no reason to flutter their votes, so I doubt they would have done so unneccesarily.

I mean the other 2 lynch targets you were trying to distract from were both either killed or attempted to be killed which means scum wanted everyone to see them flip. This seems a little too convenient to me...

The analysis of you independent of this fact isn't great either:
You started with a day 1 policy post, wherein you say, "Step 3, avoid lynching an easy target," but then proceed to push for the Erandorr lynch... if there was ever an "easier" target than a guy who edits a post then lies about it, I haven't seen it.

Then you engage DrH about confirmed townies (link) which just screams contrived nonsensical conversation to me... Confirmed townies are NOT "a voice that every town player can trust to be legit." Townies can be wrong and scum are more than happy to help propagate incorrect statements by trusted town - not to mention what happens when a scum gets on people's confirmed town list.

Now you're basically leading the charge against Jackal and iGrok while calling out Drazerk, Palmar and ON as also being likely scum... So either you're some super brilliant player (except that you were totally off with Erandorr) or you're happily sheeping town around. It really doesn't sit well with me. At this point I'm more inclined to vote for you than any of the 3 you suggest (jackal, igrok, palmar).

But does Balrog the SK make sense to you? Balrog the mafia seems more realistic and I don't know why he would voluntarily claim balrog instead of his real role (that is, he would then be SK with a more fitting character). He was going to get lynched unless his claim was very good and if this claim buys him that one day, it's a success. He could have a vital scum role that he can use tonight, though I'm not sure how I could reconcile that with him surviving a shot.



The problem is there is no impetus for scum to claim third party. Why not just claim town power role, as that is far easier to pull off. Not to mention that towns absolutely LOVE piling on a confirmed third party.

Buying himself an extra day is possible, but if that's his strategy then this is a terrible way to do it.

Here's the thing, if iGrok was confirmed Third Party, we would absolutely NOT be lynching him. Thing is, this is a totally bullshit claim, and nothing stacks up in that claim.

One thing is for certain, iGrok is certainly not town as no townie would ever make that claim. If no one is willing to back me on Jackal(or Pyo) then we should bring the hammer down on iGrok.

Why am I scum again? You're not answering me. Why are you not answering me?


because Radfield is scum... see my previous post about him. I really don't get why everyone is so convinced that he's town.

Or it could be a town power that mishit first night and hit second night.


Why would town hit cirandor day one?


Becouse noone fucking understood his claim. And btw that hit was on prplhz.


Oh yeah, and that ^


But is it common for town to get multiple shots like that? Seems a little overpowered... I was only thinking it was a 3rd party SK since it seemed like radfield was "green" to a lot of people so far.

How about this, we let iGrok tell us who to lynch. We lynch that person and when that person flips red, we let him live another day (no promises beyond that), or if that person flips not red, we vig/lynch him. I think at this point, it's worth risking a one-for-one for the chance at a free scum kill.

I'm more sure of Jackal than Palmar. Jackal has done nothing this game but antagonize and cut players down, yet has no reads at all of those people. Palmar is on the short list, but I see no reason to put a bunch of reads out and let mafia cherry pick the lynch.

So that doesn't count as analysis? Sigh, I guess I'll try harder...

In any case, you accusing me of being scum isn't why I suspected you of being scum, but rather that you and radfield were agreeing with each other. HOWEVER, after re-reading things, I've convinced myself that it doesn't make sense for two scum to both jump on some random person by themselves, not to mention the fact that you – not radfield – were the one to first jump on me. That heist is using this connection to accuse you (and the timing of bringing it up) is actually quite scummy – not totally sure on that read though.

##unvote

I want to hear from iGrok who saruman is. Personally, I would rather lynch that person and then kill him if that person doesn't flip red. However, the fact that iGrok still hasn't given us a name makes me think that him "finding saruman" was a bluff to try to get us to back off him or a bluff to try to get a saruman slip so he can kill/confirm them tonight. Either way, I don't think we should lynch him today. If he's really a survivor 3rd party, he really isn't a threat to us. If he's scum giving us the run-around, well he can't possibly be the only scum left, so I'd rather try to figure out who they are.

When picking a target last night, I had to think to myself: who could Saruman be?

To me, the only two people who fit the description were ON and Pyo. Not too active, not too inactive, but definitely capable of playing above their current level.

I picked ON.

I'm also going to need to know who to shoot tonight. There's no way scum lets me live again tonight if I still have a shot.


This made me reread things (again), and I'm changing my mind again.

As I said before, it doesn't make sense that 2 scum would both jump on the same person when there were already several town lynch targets (+1 town).
That was enough to convince me before, but that's really the only reason I could come up with for why he was town, while the reasons why he's scum a numerous...

This is shitty logic, we dont know how many scum nor do we know KP values. They could have extra KP or SK might have a one shot or a bunch of other variables. Not increadably safe imo, iGrok still good lynch.

Also i fully fess up to being stupid and following Radfield but at the time i still had an inkling of thought that he was town. After the Jackal lynch I did go back and was getting ready to push him but well he died.

Radfield purely out of curiousity why Jackal over Palmar?


I'm more sure of Jackal than Palmar. Jackal has done nothing this game but antagonize and cut players down, yet has no reads at all of those people. Palmar is on the short list, but I see no reason to put a bunch of reads out and let mafia cherry pick the lynch.

Jist of it is:

Some random contradition about 95% of the time he has shit reads on D1 and then swears on his grave that it was a good read, then turns out to be a shit read.

Im just going to point out my opinion on WBG, yes he trolled the shit out of us for 24-36 hours but the last few hours he just seemed townie to me.


lastly now that we have lots of pressure on him he just uses shitty one liners to defend himself.

##Vote Jackal58




He clearly follows Radfield's lead for his final vote.

##Vote: Original_Name


Yeah and Pyo just voted him with little analysis, on top of that I also did that BEFORE he accused Radfield and just because he coincedentally decided to vote for scum he did not attempt to push him at all.One Vote without reasoning means almost jackshit to anyone actually reading the thread.

while saying that I was doing "nothing BUT push WBG almost refusing to otherwise consider other candidates":

Im going to focus on the people who stayed on bugs until the end of yesterday for my lynch targets today.

This is mostly based on most of them managing to lurk harder than me. Which saying alot I personally dont like the vibe i get off of iGrok/DrH. I avoided DrH yesterday because i was increadably unsure of WBG until later on and I decided based on the reasons i have stated to move over to Errandor.

Pyo I even forgot was playing until about he a few posts one of which was chastising my FoS on Navillus which i by the way look back on and realize that I was being an idiot.

His reasoning behind voting WBG basically went oh DrH said hes third party so im going to agree without posting my own contributions and uses this reasoning:

Show nested quote +
Throw on top of that the potential that he's full of shit or that we might learn something about the game set-up/mechanics, I'm perfectly happy to see him flip



Hes just adovacting a pure info lynch that really doesnt tell us jackshit in either case. Afterwords WBG then calls him out for the same thing I am he responds with this:

Show nested quote +
way to not read my post and selectively bolded not my reason for voting for you – getting information is only icing on the cake... I'm voting for you because your indirect 3rd party claim is bizarre and distracting at best



I dont see any bizarre third party claim, I see hints at it but it obviously wasnt what he had in mind. Sure he was trolling abit but this seems like a really weak line of reasoning, despite how we were starting to realize that he probably was not scum.

He also does nothing BUT push WBG almost refusing to otherwise consider other candidates other than call out Archo_Toilet for being scummier than GGQ who he was voting however he basically did one post and another paragraph later and did not pursue it much farther.

Along with that he has completely flown under the radar and iirc not many people have called him out.

As such I will be.

##Vote Pyo


+ Show Spoiler +
if im on the wrong track again for the love of god speak now.

He's clearly had an agenda here, as all I did for WBG was put a vote on him and disappear for the rest of the day, while I actually did give a solid reason for radfield repeated called him scum. (+1 scum)

When picking a target last night, I had to think to myself: who could Saruman be?

To me, the only two people who fit the description were ON and Pyo. Not too active, not too inactive, but definitely capable of playing above their current level.

I picked ON.

I'm also going to need to know who to shoot tonight. There's no way scum lets me live again tonight if I still have a shot.


Kill this lying bastard.

I am Èowyn the Shieldmaiden of Rohan.

Completely Vanilla.


I'm gonna have to call bullshit on this one. There's no way the chick that killed the big bad-ass Nazgul would be vanilla town. Totally fail claim dude (+10 scum):

Ok, lets review. Who of the following are the scummiest?

Palmar - Not doing much so far

Syllogism - Was active early on in Ring discussions.
prplhz - Leaving this until later
kitaman27 - No great analysis, but decent reasons for voting and has worked to pressure
OriginalName - After watching him play in Resurrection, he's playing the same way. Minimum contribution to avoid focus.
Vain - 1 liners except to defend prplhz
Erandorr - somehow appeared on his own vote list?
TranceStorm - I see a connection between TranceStorm and Radfield forming when I filter him. TS often references Radfield's arguements. TS also attacked prplhz early on

I'm off, iGrok you better have defended yourself by the time I come back tomorrow. Perhaps even claim.


I've been thinking about this. And I think it is, in fact, time for me to claim.

So, as my meta, this is my incredibly huge post.



Ok, I've come under a lot of fire lately for lurking. And it's true, I have been. But trying to use meta arguments (other than lack of a monster post, which is never on D1 anyways) on me is stupid - I dare you to find two games in which I've played similar styles as similar roles. And in this game, I'm a role I've never been before.

I am the Balrog.

I am a Survivor.

I have a number of powers, but I'll start with my wincon: I win when any faction wins and Gandalf is dead. So, the second part of my wincon has been conveniently fulfilled. Gandalf probably wasn't supposed to die this early - I've got a few powers that would have aided me in my quest for Gandalf.
  • I can investigate a player each night and discover if they are Maia. Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron, and Radagast are Maia (I am told these 4 names - more on this after my full claim).
  • I have one unblockable nightkill.


But that only helps me kill Gandalf. I still need to survive. Fortunately, I have a passive power:
  • I know what happens when I get the ring. I become Bulletproof.



I'll take a quick breather to let you all think about everything I've just said. When you're ready, scroll down.










It's time for my favorite! Setup Analysis time! In a closed setup, its difficult - but as a 3rd party role, and with all the recent flips, I think I can figure a few things out.

I'll start with my role, as it is the most complicated.


Survivors suck. You have to somehow survive to endgame, against a mafia team who doesn't know not to kill you. So you have to be as non-threatening as possible, while avoiding lynch. This leads you to lurk hardcore. This is no fun.

But my role is a little different. I have a goal, and tools at my disposal. And I think I've figured out how Curu intended for Balrog to be played - Investigate people, when you find a Maia, use the thread to figure out what kind. Then get them lynched. Use the oneshot to get the ring once it pops up somewhere, and then go into heavy pro-town action to win the game.

With the death of Gandalf though, I can change things up a bit. After all, it's in my best interest to survive. And for me, the choice seems clear: Get the ring.

With this in mind, I have a proposal for the town. 2 Maia have died (Gandalf and Sauron). One, maybe two are left. Saruman definitely, lets be honest he's going to be in here. He's kind of a big deal in LotR. Radagast on the other hand...+ Show Spoiler +
If he's in the game, he's probably a miller or traitor with some sort of bonus power. He was a good guy who aided Saruman in Lotr lore. He's pretty obscure though, so idk if he's in the game.

Anyways, my proposal - give me the ring, and I'll trade you an unblockable KP, Saruman checks, and I'll actually contribute useful analysis. Who decides on the KP? Well, if you're a DT I'll give it to you - when you check me you'll get my role PM, If you want to use my power, post the first word in the name of my Checking ability in one of your posts. I'll use it on the next name that appears in your post. Also, I'll check whoever got the second-most votes each night to see if they are Saruman or Radagast.

Why should you trust me? Because this forces me to act pro-town. I'm basically saying, I'm 3rd party but with your help I can be a Bullet-proof Vigilante. Think about that. If I get the ring, I can still be lynched - so if I don't hold up my end, you can lynch me.

So thats the deal. I want to win. Give me the ring, and I hunt the other White Wizard, while scumhunting the best I can. As a sign of good faith, I'll include an analysis later on, and I'll tell you that Radfield is neither Saruman nor Radagast (I thought he might be Gandalf).



On to the rest of the analysis, what little I can do. Take it or leave it, but I've been known to perfectly guess setups before. I won't attempt to do so, but lets see...

First, look at Gandalf's Powers. He's called a Jack of all Trades, but he's not actually that strong. He has 4 powers, but he can't even combine them. Gandalf is supposed to be the strongest damn being in the lotr universe. But he's a purely information role.

In contrast, Sauron's Role: He, too, has investigative powers. He also has an unblockable kill, AND is godfather. Sauron just seems like a more powerful role than Gandalf. But what can we take from this?

Mafia seem to be pretty heavily loaded. Supporting this are the existence of a Jailkeeper and Messenger - Messengers are awesome for confirming players, and Jailkeepers are excellent on offense or defense against mafia.

So, with heavily loaded mafia AND at least one 3rd party, Town has to have some serious firepower and/or protection. I expect Aragorn to have KP (Curu if you make him and Legolas Trackers I will not forgive you - and if GIMLI doesn't have kp... They're the fucking heroes!) I don't forsee there being more than two medics (Eowyn and Galadriel are my guesses), but combined with a Jailkeeper and a vet or two we're starting to talk about some high-power games.

My final note about setup: Pippin (Peregrin Took). The existence of pm-oriented roles is cool, and I highly doubt there's just one. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Merry was a clone of Pippin's role.




So now its time for some sample analysis.

And my focus today is Palmar.

hey guys, I'm in a good mood so I'm not gonna ruin it by reading the thread. See you tomorrow

This was his first post. Nothing scummy here, but it sets the mood for everything else he posts.

Now, here's a list of his opinions since then.
Radfield, WBG, Errandor
prplhz
DrH
Radfield, himself, Sandroba, Pyo

Pause. Next post.

Derp... prplhz said he doesn't actually have the ring.


In any case, if you're lying, you should consider giving it away.

btw, Sandroba is almost definitely town, but only if he takes his vote off me. I'm basically confirmed town from my exchanges with DrH, but only people like sandroba/syllo etc will see it.

We need to keep an eye on syllo... yarly.

chaoser is also very likely town. I don't like the smell of iGrok and Kita...

Here, minimal interaction with DrH is played off as enough to auto-confirm him. This post sets off alarm bells in my head. Palmar contributed 4 posts before DrH died, 2 of which were "Herp I'm not reading the thread" (He was obviously reading the thread). Its his fourth post that interests me: "DrH is giving me really bad vibes." At the time, it looked like just another throwaway post. But post DrH's death, this post looks more like DrH new he was going to be modkilled and Palmar jumped out early to get a townie point.

For the rest of the game, two things are going on. He puts faith in Radfield, and he continues to stress Sandroba town. (yes theres other shit but those're the important parts)

Palmar already feels scummy. So lets continue on that assumption, and introduce possibilities.
1)Radfield and Sandroba are both town. If this is true, then Palmar is trying to gain town cred when they flip. With sandroba acting scummy and a possible lynch, and Radfield a good mafia target, thats two points for him. Fits with calling DrH scum.
2)Radfield is town, Sandroba is scum. This is using Radfield's town cred to make Sandroba look better. Even those who don't trust Palmar will subliminally put them on closer levels. If sandroba didn't look so damn scummy, it might work.
3)Radfield is scum, Sandroba is town. I just... don't see this as possible.
4)Both are scum. I don't know what this would mean actually







Alright guys, well you've heard me out. Give me the ring, and I'll start working a hell of a lot harder this game, hunt down Saruman, and give a DT an unblockable shot. Otherwise, I'll basically keep doing what I've done so far. Your move.

Why would a townie withold a claim in this manner. Seriously, stop tunneling my ass and read and realize that this dude is a class A bullshitter with a PhD in Lying. Except, he failed that last class ya know.

Get to your senses Pyo, or are you scum along with him, I honestly wouldnt be surprised if Radfield had the balls to implicate a lurking scumbuddy for town cred if he got pushed to death. Hell look what he did with DrH.

The fact that you think iGrok is not the scummiest man alive in this game at the moment is a monumental blunder on your part and may only be solved by stating that your wishy washiness is almost scum motivated.


His behavior is consistent with 3rd party (so I suppose you could call it scummy); your behavior is consistent with mafia. His claim is at least believable; your claim seems super hasty... You just quickly copy-pasted your safe claim without thinking it through. I'll repeat, there's no way the chick that shoved a sword through the Nazgul's face is just vanilla town.

But I'll tell you what, if you flip green, I'll vote for iGrok tomorrow... if he isn't offed during the night.

I don't care that iGrok flipped scum... ON is still scum. As far as I'm concerned, iGrok named him as a way "confirm" another scum as town since his lynch was a fargone conclusion.

Why? At least now you need to give something other than "X is scum".


I've already given plenty of reasons in my previous posts, nothing has changed since my belief that he was scum was independent of iGrok saying he was Sauruman. In fact, the fact that iGrok would finger him after his lynch was a done deal feels like an effort to establish town cred for ON.

All this nonsense about whether Drazerk really protected someone or not feels like a distraction. Same with lending any weight to the cryptic messages. "JCARL IS UGLUK" was a lie, so trusting this new message seems silly, not to mention, how would scum know that there's another scum team, in fact, how would anyone know?

So let's get back on track of finding someone to actually lynch:

On September 26 2011 18:59 Archon_Toilet wrote:
OriginalName was pretty clearly the mafia's alternative bandwagon to iGrok. I'm pretty comfortable with him being a townie.


Meh, this is WIFOM at best. The way I saw it, ON being named by iGrok meant that he likely really is scum, probably even Saruman. At the time he made the claim, out of 17 total votes there were:

iGrok - 9
Palmar - 2
OriginalName - 2

If I were mafia, I would totally name Saruman in that situation. If the accusation got ignored and iGrok was lynched anyway, Saruman would gain a shit ton of town cred for being accused by scum, while if the bandwagon really did form, then iGrok's nonsense would have been "confirmed." Either way, scum gain a "confirmed not mafia" status for one of them.

Throw on top of there, the fact that scum were trying to bus/cast doubt on iGrok from the get-go:
radfield challenging iGrok - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11428489
and again - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11446904
and again - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=11457496

This was part of the reason why I was so inclined to believe iGrok in the first place. I mean it was radfield who was the first to really cast doubt on iGrok in the first place. To me this screams that iGrok was meant to flip, so as far as I'm concerned anything that we'd normally interpret from iGrok's lynch is probably the opposite of what we'd normally learn. In this case, it means that OriginalName really is scum.

Also for what it's worth, supersoft voted for iGrok and flipped town, and I can assure you that I'm town. Dunno about heist or cheese, but just because we didn't bandwagon on iGrok doesn't mean we're scum.

----------------------------------------------

Now I don't know if I'm gonna be able to convince anyone of OriginalName being scum at this point, so I'll try to make a case for one of the other likely scum: GGQ

If we look at DrH, radfield, and even iGrok, one thing that you'll notice is their exceptionally high level of activity and thread presence (in the case of iGrok, I'm referring to how he stood out with regard to his claim rather than his actual thread activity). This strikes me as somewhat odd for a scum team, which leads me to believe that the remaining scum have been and are actively lurking in the thread. The first name that comes to mind in this regard is GGQ.

So what has GGQ done this game?
1. said iGrok was scum (but given radfield was also doing the same, it's a null read)
2. then responds when radfield asks iGrok to kill GGQ in the thread (the scum conversations in this game so far are really weird, yall should check them out, lol)
3. calls out chaosers weird claim
4. questions why heist started accusing ON
5. says that everyone who tried to save iGrok yesterday is scum

So what's so weird about that? Well aside from it not being a whole lot, there's the fact that aside from iGrok, he's never really taken a stand against anyone else at all in the game. He's barely given any analysis either. That in and of itself should scream that he could be scum, but let's throw on some meta as well...

The last time I played a game with GGQ (mafia XL), first of all he was infinitely more helpful to town, and second, he was double hit night 1 by an iGrok(GF)-led scum team. GGQ's town meta was so strong that iGrok made sure he died night 1 - pretty ridiculous eh? Well in this game, despite GGQ's correct identification of iGrok as scum on day 1, he's still alive and kicking. Kind of weird, right?

A lot of that is WIFOM and/or meta, which isn't the most reliable, but the fact that there really isn't anything else to go on in terms of deciding whether he's town or not is a pretty significant concern in and of itself. GGQ is really strong player, why isn't he contributing more?

TLDNR: I still think ON is scum, but I'm highly suspicious of GGQ as well.

Lol, what the shit you dumbass, can't you see that they're really two SK's who figured each other out, then the bastard mod allowed them to PM each other.


Not a fucking chance you moron, is your theory really based on assuming the mod is a bastard mod? What the hell?

I don't even know why we're discussing this, ON or Kita should be up for scrutinity.


But what if they're both mafia?

I know it seems like a stretch seeing as Palmar's been pushing for iGrok's lynch since day 2, shouting at people they're morons for not voting him.

but maybe it's an elaborate plan.


You're a fucking moron. It's seems like it's a stretch because IT IS a stretch.

Can we just drop the issue now? Chaoser isn't killing town at the moment, and Palmar has actually gotten a mafia lynched, that's more than rest of the players in the game can say. Occam's razor says Kita is mafia, ON feels quite scummy and I'm pretty sure Pyo is not scum, so even if somewhat flawed his argument is legit.



Shut up, I'm now ignoring everything you say.


ditto.


Palmar, are you claiming Gollum or just pulling a WBG retard-a-palooza? If you are claiming, why are you doing it? You have the ring now so you don't give a fuck anymore?

How does this even make sense...He didn't claim third party and why would mafia so such a thing, much less by someone that pretty much led the iGrok lynch and has almost 0 suspicions on him.

He called out DrH as a terrible lynch on day 1, defended Drazerk to the death then voted for him, called out iGrok as a terrible lynch, was on the original name train.

Low activity, atrocious voting, defends scum then disappears. Heist needs to go. Vote for heist.


Low activity and atrocious voting? Sounds much like someone I know...
That is the very first time you have mentioned heist all game.

I voted iGrok 2 nights out of 3. That's better than your record mate.

It is the first time iv mentioned heist, so? I think he's mafia.


Scum were bussing iGrok from even before day 2 (filter radfield or see my earlier posts). Voting for iGrok should give you absolutely NO town cred. Stop using it as such.

All game long you've been randomly chiming in, each time with a new scum target, and each time giving a really shitty nonsensical reason for thinking that person was scum. Are you a Kurumi smurf?

We're not letting another scum claim third party and troll their way to victory.


How does this even make sense...He didn't claim third party and why would mafia so such a thing, much less by someone that pretty much led the iGrok lynch and has almost 0 suspicions on him.


Filter him... he's been faking gollum since day 1


So you're saying he's been bussing almost every single one of his teammate since day one? He was literally the first one to call out bullshit on iGrok and he mentions DrH as scummy way before anyone else.


That is well within Palmar's meta. Not saying that that means Palmar is scum, just that him bussing his whole team day 1 would be very "Palmar."

----------------------------------------
Drazerk is a really weird case and I'm not sure he's scum (based largely on meta). In every game I've played with him, he's been kind of an idiot (no offense), doing and saying all sorts of silly nonsensical things. And every time, the stupid shit he does has been done with good intentions but has been horribly short-sighted and poorly thought through. Too bad town's not going to let this one fly since they're all a bunch of sheep. Do you all realize that Scum have decided all 3 lynches so far, including iGrok? Remember Erandorr? He was an idiot that lied about editing his post – before you get all your pitch-forks out, use your heads for a second.

Palmar, raynpelikoneet, you both said you agreed with my analysis on ON, yet your votes don't seem to agree with it. What's up with that? You guys just want to say that agreed with it in case he's vigi'd, but don't want to lend weight to the lynch?

Kitaman has yet to name his role like he asked me to. Would giving the name of your character really be that advantageous to mafia? Also, I find it interesting that kitaman basically claimed a blue role on Day 3 and yet mafia didn't kill him, instead going for a kill on supersoft, someone that they didn't know was blue or not. Why let a tracker, even a gimped tracker survive, especially someone like kitaman who is a decent vet town player survive? One track on a mafia pulling off a kill would immediately fuck them over.

He did claim that his role was "Madril, Ranger of Ithilien".

But the supersoft dying instead of him is very fishy. Not even getting a roleblock seems to be very suspicious for a player who is the only player who has revealed that he has the ability to identify (somewhat) who the mafia are.


If kita is scum, then so is chaoser – only way I can rationalize both claims.

Drazerkery is not scum, he's bad, but not scum.


I liked day 1 and day 2 Palmar better than the "usual" Palmar who has returned for day 4. Palmar, you did not get iGrok lynched. GGQ had more to do with getting Palmar lynched than you did. Stop saying that. Additionally, iGrok was hardcore bussed starting at least before day 2. One thing I've learned thanks to Curu in the last mafia game is that when someone is saying something stupid or wrong, over and over again despite being told otherwise multiple times, they're scum. So stop saying that you are confirmed town; you're not. In fact, how about this? Let's go ahead and confirm your alignment.

There were 20+ players in the game. Its unreasonable to think I would just risk a tracker claim and hope I was right. If the 1/20+ odds don't go my way, then I'm lynched for lying. The fact is, I am a tracker and I wasn't lying. As for being a mafia tracker, I don't recall ever playing in a game where scum could track people. Even it its possible, 99% of the time, the tracker is town aligned. Don't overthink this.

Also, isn't it convenient that nobody else is committing one way or another until they see where the safe lynch is? People like draz have completely disappeared.


I fake claimed as DT in a game where a watcher, a DT, a tracker, and another DT were either flipped from death or accounted for by claiming in the thread and I ended up winning the game as mafia without being lynched. Fake claiming is not really that big a risk. At the least, as iGrok showed, your teammates can bus you if needed. This risk is even less in this game especially since it is a closed setup game where we don't know the roles and also the number of roles that exist. This makes it's very very possible to fake claim and get away with it. Of course I'm not trying to convince you that you fake claimed lol, I'm trying to convince others.

Your play makes no sense for someone who is a proclaimed tracker, not to mention the fact that you were townie in two previous other games and mafia thought it prudent to kill you off day 1. Now that you've claimed tracker, mafia doesn't kill you? They don't even roleblock you. You're a good player with a blue information role and instead they shoot supersoft? Someone that they didn't know was blue over someone that they knew was blue? That doesn't seem right at all.


If Kitman is scum, then he somehow knew that you were the one responsible for radfield, which makes you scum. Alternatively, kitman is telling the truth, which means you're telling the truth which makes him town and you 3rd party or town. Either way, I don't see a scenario where we should lynch kitaman before you.

However given the fact that Palmar's been a scummy troll, ON has all but disappeared and GGQ also has all but disappeared, I'd say there were 3 lynch targets better than either of you. This town has been one big huge sheepfest, and it needs to stop.

Ok so you're saying...the only way kita is scum... is if i'm scum...and I shot radfield? You do realize people don't have to play with perfect information right?


No what I'm saying is that you weren't really responsible for radfield... Notice how our vigi died that same night?

Oh I overlooked Drazerk and Kitaman27 being on all of them too...
Both Pyo and I haven't been on any, and if we disclude the third which most of the town was on, GGQ joins us.


coming up with a contrived way to clear yourself... am I the only one who thinks this is really scummy? ON flipping town makes me really hesitant to push anyone (especially given that it is night still), but it really should be pointed out that "always being on the right side of a lynch" means you know something that the rest of town didn't...

I still haven't wrapped my head around all the chaoser/palmar bullshit. The thing that really bothers me about it is that if I were to pick 2 people at the start of the game who would have absolutely no trepidation with fake claiming a 3rd party, it would be those two. Neither of their claims make any sense nor does the fact that they're both still alive. Hopefully at least one of them dies tonight to make things simpler... or better yet if I die tonight then I don't have to think about it – either way, I'm going to wait till the day post before I really try wade through the fake claiming/sheeping/bull shitting that's been going on.

gg scum... this town is full of idiots, including myself. I really can't believe that people actually believed the whole "now I become a vanilla townie" nonsense.

For what it's worth, I'm Barliman Butterbur, Owner of the Prancing Pony, Vanilla Townie.

I also voted in this thread but forgot to click "Post" on my actual vote.
