I'm Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell. yes I'm the second medic. I protected jcarl first night. I protected Drazerk's ass every subsequent night except for last night where I protected Trancestorm.
Also, Drazerk was shot under my protection. So I know for sure he's not mafia.

How do we will he be confirmed scum? If he is scum he needs to follow through with the shot we direct in order to stay clean for tomorrow. If he does not, then he gets lynched. If he claims he was 'roleblocked' then he gets lynched. If for any reason his target does not die, he gets lynched. If the target we choose is a townie, and scum kill him, AND his flavour comes up with 'consumed by shadow and flame etc" then so be it, as we are successfully directing scum's targets. If scum want to act as a double lynch for us, so much the better. If anyone else ever dies by the same flavour, or if the KP isn't matching up, we lynch him. It's like in PYP1/2 when scum got the compvig. IT DOESN"T MATTER AS LONG AS WE ARE DIRECTING THE SHOTS. Well that sounds reasonable. I am concerned about how the town is supposed to direct iGrok's night kill when we are divided as is though. Nevertheless, I'll look between Jackal and Palmar now. Is now taking complete guidance from Radfield. His votes are being informed entirely by Radfield.

I haven't fully fleshed this out yet (i.e. the possibility of fake claims is strong), but its probably a better discussion than the arbitrary finger-pointing going on at the moment. I'm not sure if you realise it or not but that plan sounds awfully anti-town. How do we guarantee that even those 1-3 people can pass the ring in the first place? And even if they can, how does that confirm anybody? In this game, only people with roles that relate to the ring should bother searching for it secretly, and if the ring is passed it will either be the fruits of their efforts or a complete accident. As for the effects of the ring, there is no real way to find out, the only people that know are the ring bearers and mentioning that you have it/explaining what it does is virtually ensuring you get killed overnight in the hopes that you can't pass it. First, if the players in question cannot pass the ring, then the plan does not go into effect. A player only announces that they had the ring in the previous turn. If they can't pass it on, they stay silent and we are none the wiser. Second, given Radfield's argument that evil players probably don't have the mechanic to pass the ring (otherwise they would pass it amongst themselves), if we can get two successive passes, that would confirm at least one player. The danger of course is passing to a mafia player, but that probability initially is small. At any rate, I think it is pretty likely that the ring will worm into non-town hands (whether 3rd party or mafia) given that non-town players will constantly search and probe every turn. There's no way to comprehensively prevent them from getting the ring, therefore, why not get some benefit to it. Finally, another point that can be made is that the player who passes on the ring and reveals themselves can also reveal what the ring does. Given that every player already covets it, it would be nice to at least have that information. So basically you want people to say "I had the ring guys, I managed to pass it off, but I'm not saying to who" and maybe list it's effects? We can't be sure evil players can't pass the ring, and if the person who claimed to have got rid of it was telling the truth or not. There is way too much uncertainty, and I believe only a non-town party would be trying to push a bad plan to get the ring Unless you can come up with a really good reason you care so much about the ring bearer ##Vote TranceStorm This is a bunk vote. Bad plans are pushed all the time, mostly by townies as scum generally have very little motivation to push a bad plan. Bad plans need refinement, not votes. Fact is, if the player who has the ring DOES pass it, he should likely claim. Either he is counterclaimed later when frodo/bilbo actually passes it, or he is confirmed. It doesn't help us immensely, but it certainly doesn't hinder. Radfield returns the favor defending TranceStorm. No one look at Trancestorm, he's just a bad townie with a bad plan. Show nested quote +On September 17 2011 15:27 TranceStorm wrote: @DrH. Fine, those are valid points. I didn't fully flesh out my plan as well as I imagined it would be and underestimated the risks.
But, wouldn't it be a good idea to set the rule that if a player does ever pass on the ring, they reveal its powers? We already know that everyone wants the ring (both town and non-town) so I think it would be beneficial to town discussion to know the ring powers. (if they don't change like you fear they might). Many people criticize his plan. Trancestorm makes an effort to address everything thrown at him and when it seems like he's failing to convince people he adds the customary "at least I'm generating discussion which is TOWN". But to DrH, it's simply: You're right. I made a bad plan and you, and only you, get the credit for correcting me. Good job. Only DrH gets him to see the error of his plan when other people have already chimed in with what is essentially the same arguments.

There is still no justification at all for you vote. Considering that you had already shown that you were willing to give analysis on other people, I find your vote super suspicious hence my vote. Now you say that it's too late for you to move your vote. You still haven't justified your vote at all, and are basically admitting that you didn't have one in the first place. End of the day, he votes for the candidate who makes an analysis attacking DrH. ----- Now what else do we have: - The late bandwagons and his voting patterns. - Really anti-iGrok, but who wasn't?

I have no idea what to make of it but at best, only one of the town is mafia. Am I entirely convinced? Not completely. Radfield did a really good job of getting townies to do what he wanted. ON had many of the same mistakes and he flipped town. The late bandwagons are iffy at best as tells for alignment, and Cyber and TS can just be two townies who can't stop tunneling each other. TS was simply the better alternative to Cyber at the time. Show nested quote +On October 02 2011 18:48 heist wrote: If it really comes down to the wire I have an iron claim.

It's LYLO so you might as well claim. I find it curious that you are trying to making yourself a confirmed town based on the fact that you have to be in the game, yet you're willing to vote Merry in an instant.
Yes I've changed my mind on TS. Looking over his history, I realized a lot of my suspicions were based on TS being led by Radfield. I already made the mistake with ON, every other vibe about TS is telling me town.
Also, Merry's got nothing on Elrond.

I'm actually a little bothered that you aren't dead. Why haven't mafia RBed Drazerk and killed you Kita?
At this point, Drazerk and Chaoser are confirmed non-mafia.
Everyone else: Cyber_cheese GGQ TS Kita (iffy I know)
Depending on the number of mafia left, that's who I'd kill in order.

3. So... at that point in the game, we should have automatically believed any claim of secret communication with Radfield? Nothing wrong with my logic there.
4. All of the TS stuff hinges on TS and Radfield deliberately working together as a mafia team. When in actuality, it's much more plausible he just followed him because he seemed like such a good townie.

I was getting tired of protecting Drazerk night in, night out. Mafia were avoiding Drazerk like the plague. I decided to protect someone whom I thought town to try and get another confirmed townie.

And guys I am confirmed town. I don't know why I'm even up for debate...

Why would 3 mafia have 2 KP? Doesn't it round down? But anyways, irrelevant. I'll be keeping my vote on cyber_cheese.

Let's assume you have this power. Why the hell have you been using it every night? I'm not gonna lie, this is a terrible power you revealed.
Either you have a 50% chance to die for nothing if you hide behind mafia
or
You throw someone else in front of you (someone who could actually have blue powers) just to save yourself.

So you choose someone to hide behind. You get targetted. And instead of that person taking the hit for you, you come out and save the two of you?
What's with this "if", won't you live regardless of being targeted if you are hiding?

|
Lemme get this straight:
1. Any attacks on you will miss.
2. The only way to kill you at night (assuming you target a townie) is if your target gets hit. The hit will apply to both of you.
3. Yet you can also protect your target?
wtf?

I think it's about a 50/50 toss-up between TS and Kita. I find it extremely suspicious Kita wasn't killed off. If it comes down to the two of them, I'll probably lean toward Kita as the last mafia unless something happens that really changes my mind.
