Jailkeeper roleblocks too -_-

also

Q: Do people get notified if they are roleblocked?
A: No one gets notified, If the cop gets roleblocked his investigations will return no results.


So we should treat any roleblock claims as liars unless they claim cop as well.

I'm here, I'm pondering which is the best lynch for today. I'll post when I've convinced myself on who to lynch. Wbg doesn't seem scum to me this game. Jay is a possibility, but I'm nowhere near confident on him.
Based on Wiggles posts hiro is a strong possibility since he never mentions him and instead of going for him (which was the best option since a lot of people were suspicious of him) when his ass was on the line, he goes for errandor/mz. Kinda peculiar choice in that situation if hiro was not scum with him. This however goes against my previous read on hiro and he did vote for wiggles on his own, but well sometimes I'm wrong =/.
That being said I don't feel like mafia is ever going to get rid of jay for us, and I don't feel I'm going to get a better read on him any time soon. I'd be fine lynching him today until more information comes in.

Derp I'm stupid -_-... would have been kinda game breaking though if that's how it worked lol.

Anyway WBG I reread your posts and honestly I think you're town. You saw the same things I did and called it out like I did. I just however am not seeing how jay is a better lynch than hiro.

I'm tired, I'll come back tomorrow and look things over again.

K I've reflected a bit and I think MZ/jay and maybe hiro (not very likely) are the only people that may be scum. Most likely MZ, but I'm kinda lazy to explain why. If hiro and jay could give their opinions on who they think the last scum is it would be great.

You mean I should follow up when I say that I will pst something in a couple of hours ?
Well shit I don't have time now.

Just my thoughts in a quick version : I don't know why prplzh has gotten no shit for what he has done this game. The only positive thing he did in my eyes was calling out Wiggles on his own for his bullshit. I would like to hear peoples thoughts on that.
I will probably write out everything I noticed tomorrow, but I still encourage everyone to take a look at him and tell me what you think.

I don't think Jay has anything to offer for town and has done some questionable things that are scummy even while factoring in that he is very new. If we have some powerroles I think he would make an excellent check/jailthingy.

Oh and I would like to know who thinks Hiro still makes a good target, that would be quite neat ^.^

Meapak deserves some thought too.. you know.. eventually. Tunneling a weak player is a pretty convenient way to hide as scum , but the problem is that he had a valid point going after Hiro. Plus he actually soft defended Wiggles and specificly said that he would rather go after Hiro than wiggles. That would be very brave scum play. zz I don't know its possible I guess but he should just post his thoughts as soon as possible.

And thats all the time I have on a friday night. Also WBG gets mayor points for trying to keep the thread alive. Thats not in the interest of scum.

While i would love to have some concrete reasons about why people think im the mafia like i asked for here

Heres the thing Meapak, I was leading by example because I dont think that post is worthless. It would be worthless if that was my only post, or if it was made 2/3 into day 1, but thats not the case. perhaps we should agree to disagree ^_^

Heres my beef thou. You say that everyone is all ready against pointless argument and tunneling, but it happens in lots of games. I think it needs to be said because lots of towns have self imploded on day 1 with pointless tunneling and reckless arguing and spam, resulting in a mislynch and bad reads. I want to avoid it now, so I said something preemptive.

To call me out and say Im scum because of that, As well as insinuate that what I said has no value, Is not townie thinking. Its scummy. FoS on Meapak.


Here we see hiro claiming Fos on Meapak. And then later
On November 17 2011 00:52 Mr. Wiggles wrote:
Meapak_Ziphh on the other hand, has shown that he's definitely scummy. He was trying to play the hyper-aggressive townie, but he hasn't played his role quite well enough. Notice that he makes aggressive moves towards multiple players in a short period of time, before settling on hiro. This is enough to establish himself as "scumhunting", but then he never follows up. There's barely any additional pressure on hiro after his vote, he doesn't try to convince anyone else in the town to vote for hiro, he doesn't respond to what I said about him, and he basically disappears from the thread. This is incredibly scummy, and contrary to everything a townie should be doing after early aggression.

##Vote: Meapak_Ziphh

Mr.Wiggles does the same thing it seems pretty obvious to me that they were trying to both go for the same target.
However after it didnt work out Hiro backed out and bussed Mr.Wiggles to save face. With both me and Sandroba voting very late in the game it would have been irrelevant if hiro voted for Mr.Wiggles or not as we had a above the majority anyway. I was waiting to see if we were voting for Hiro or Mr.Wiggles and Sandroba ended up voting very late in the game.

So i think this paints Meapak_Ziphh as a townie and Errandor as well as Mr.Wiggles also went after him

Everything he's saying so far is super non-committal and tells us nothing. Even notice how he's voting for me, but looking through the filter, I don't see once where he actually calls me scum. All I see is:

"I would be okay with lynching Wiggles."
"I think Wiggles is the best lynch right now."
"Okay I read Wiggles last post and am actually still completely fine with lynching him."

I think that's the most non-committal posting I've ever seen. He doesn't call me scum and he doesn't say I'm scummy, just that he's "okay" and "fine" with lynching me. He's floating along with what other people have said without committing strongly to his position.

##FoS: Erandorr
Also Mr.Wiggles called out Palmar as scum. But he's no longer with us
Rest in Peace.

Also keep in mind that Mr.Wiggles while not straight up calling me scum did

Right now, he's being a sheep. That's either due to the fact that he's new, or because he's trying to blend in. He got called out early, and after that he's just sort of been going along with majority opinion. Case in point:

He would only try to call me out as trying to "blend in" if he knows im town and wants to make me look scummy.
Keep in mind heres a main point not once did Mr.Wiggles call Hiro Scummy, However this is what i think is the twist neither did he ever call out Sandroba. Something to think about.

Honestly I do have to agree that the only Mr.Wiggles post seems very off topic. He says its going slowly and then decides to start a discussion that is pretty irrelevant. Did you have any point in this pick a mayor thing, and if so what?

problem is, everyone did that. Lol.

Everyone who is in this game needs to post their thoughts. As I've said already, I think jay is probably our best bet still, but no one really has commented on anything, besides the post Erandorr made a little while ago.

Sadly there's very little to discuss right now because everyone is gone. I can't talk to myself ^^ I don't want to be pursuing the wrong person today.

Sandro I'd still like to hear from you about Meapak, and it would be good to see Meapak's thoughts as well.

Well the activity level is disapointing.

Alright I'm going to vote WBG and here's why. I'll address the white elephant in the room. WBG and I are the two people who wanted to lynch hiro over Wiggles. I know that jaybrundage didn't as well but I just don't see him as scum. Wiggles flipped scum which obviously casts tons of suspicion on WBG and I. I know I'm town, the reason I thought WBG was town as well was because he called out the same things I saw in hiro and was generally playing what I considered townie. In hindsight that's because WBG has had some very similar reads as myself so I just assumed he'd be town if he was seeing things I saw.
I reread WBG’s posts again and found that he soft defends Wiggles in much the same way I did, in particular this post:
On November 17 2011 09:26 wherebugsgo wrote:


a.) Yeah I think he's a fine lynch. Like I said earlier, his first post was useless and I don't really agree with his case on Meapak. Erandorr too, but surprisingly some of Wiggles's points are valid, which gives me pause.



Let’s take a look at this post. WBG has now said twice that Wiggles is a good lynch. His reasons are that his first post was useless (generic) and that he doesn’t agree with his case on my. Now this comes up several times, WBG defends me. This felt strange to me at the time however, after thinking about it, it makes sense from a scum perspective. Day one I was the only person with an alternative lynch candidate to hiro, the more people I have subtly defending me the more credibility I gain and thus my lynch gains. At the end of this post WBG throws in the little tidbit that “surprisingly some of Wiggle’s points are valid which gives me pause.” This is a great way for a scum to again, subtly change the conversation. He’s again giving someone credit (Wiggles) while at the same time drawing another name into the conversation (Erandorr, who’s been mentioned before by Palmar so it’s possible that this lynch could take off).

Now here’s another post after Wiggles has achieved majority but before the end of the day:

Which of Mr. Wiggles points give you so much pause that you will not vote him over hiro protagonist even though most other people agree that hiro protagonist probably isn't scum? You said in a post that you were ready to switch to Mr. Wiggles over hiro protagonist unless Mr. Wiggles posted something of value, but you never said what exactly you thought Mr. Wiggles posted that convinced you not to switch your vote.


His points on Erandorr make sense. Unlike Palmar, he provided some decent reasoning as to why he suspects Erandorr. IIRC Palmar didn't really expound on why Erandorr is scummy, even when Erandorr asked him to. Also, Wiggles didn't really post anything of value after I said that. My vote switch wasn't necessary, and I didn't like how hiro came in with this:

Anyway, I'd feel good about lynching Wiggles right now. While it's true that the game has been slow there's still stuff to talk about. Wiggles decided to ignore the whole Palmar thing and told everyone to sit back and talk about completely irelevant things for no appparent purpose.

Also I'd feel grand lynching hiro.

I know you where trolling

Im with you Erandorr, I would like to start this game off on the right foot. So lets lay down some frame work: Towns goal for day 1 should be to create a good town atmosphere. What is good town atmosphere you ask? Well there is the obvious stuff like dont lurk, post with content etc. But there is less obvious stuff like pointless arguing, spam, and aggressive tunneling that Have haunted TL towns in the past. Those things only further scum objectives. I will be taking a hard stance on anyone that derails positive discussion this game.

Lets start off on the right foot!



This post is so unbelievable worthless that my mind has a hard time comprehending it. This is like a textbook example of contributing without contributing and fluff posting. The part in red had me laughing it was so hypocritical.


Solid in calling out people. aggresive. I make a point that my post was not worthless, arguing that posting it early in the day and when most people had not posted much the reason that it had worth. To "set the tone" i said. Meapak disagrees and we argue some back and forth when he responds to something I said with this:

No shit mafia want to look like town without actually trying to help. They also want a bad atmosphere to hide in. By saying my post is worthless, your saying that its cool to spam, argue, and tunnel, which mafia love. You are pushing pro mafia ideas. So my FoS still stands.

wow... just wow. This is the worst logic fail I've ever seen. I said your post was worthless because, news flash, it was. Me saying that your post is worthless =/= me promoting spam and tunneling and whatnot. Just because I said you're fluff posting doesn't mean I support "pro mafia ideas."

Congrats on becoming a better lynch targer then Mr. Wiggles.


His logic his correct and I have to admit that my logic is weak, as well as hypocritical. something that WBG will later bring up. he then disperse's for awhile comes back with this:

On November 17 2011 06:22 Meapak_Ziphh wrote:
So Wiggles, please show me where I "make multiple aggressive moves towards people before settling on hiro." Your whole little case against me is essentially a rehash of what hiro wrote. It was bad when hiro wrote it and it's bad now.

Still, I don't think Wiggles is the best lynch for today. The case against Wiggles started when sandroba decided to start playing the game. Palmar jumped on board and those two got things started. Now the case isn't completely baseless. I've seen Wiggles play third party and scum and his current play does smell suspiciously like that. However I'd rather lynch hiro, who's scummy behavior has only increased since last time I brought him up. Notice that since the case against Wiggles was brought up, hiro has posted ZERO times. This is a huge scumtell in that once the pressure's off he goes back to lurking. A townie would still be contributing, however a mafia would want to get out of the discussion as soon as the pressure is off.


no changing his mind. My conclusion is that he is actively pushing a lynch based on solid logic. also comments about a few others like wiggles, Erandorr, giving his opinion on them. Giving him a second look, I less inclined to think he is scum, but will be watching him as the days go on.

now, on to wiggles:

so, other than his "throw out a lure" first post he has only posted twice. spolierd for length

Nice FoS bro, the heat getting to you already?

@Mr. Wiggles and Palmar: I know you both are active on TL right now, get in here and post.

I wasn't active. I'm home now, and before that I was just on at school for a half hour at lunch, so I posted something in hopes of there being discussion when I came home, discussion which up until a little while ago has been largely absent. The "let's lynch random player X" train wasn't exactly full of content when it was completely off-hand and based on nothing.

Back to you guys.

Or you could talk about the game. As in waht you are proposing that does not really help us but instead wastes a ton of time. Maybe MZ would make a great Mayor in general, but his only post was shit. Why not talk about what is already there and how do you think your suggestion could help in any way? In my opinion it does not get anything going because it in no way puts pressure on Scum or forces them to reveal information Turned around it also does not help establishing townies either.
For example I respect Sandro a lot (because he helps me with my dwarf fortress ! ) and he is a good Scumhunter. But I could say he would make a great mayor if I was Town OR Scum because it is not related to this game and the alignments and you seem to ignore what people(in this case MZ) already did until now.

At this point I actually just want to lynch the Lurker who produced the least amount of content at the end of this day. Anyone else like that Idea?

Until recently, no one has really produced any actual content, in my eyes. We had 4 pages which were basically Palmar asking to lynch WBG before he'd even posted and then for RNGing the lynch and people telling him no. Neither of those even needed a response, they were just bad ideas with no discussion value besides giving people something to bash on.

It's like when someone comes up with a bad plan for town and we spend 10 pages attacking it. Everyone can do it and it doesn't produce real content.

Basically, I wanted something to read (which I got), and my post drew out a few reactions which I liked.

Erandorr:

He's trying hard to be GMarshal. He wants to lead the town along with generic advice and constant appeals to do what's best for town (activity, etc.). This can be seen by the quick reaction to my post, pointing out that it was useless and wouldn't generate good discussion. This is good in and of itself, but he's someone who has to be watched to see if he actually starts to give concrete information on other players in the game, or just continues to act as the "advising townie". Basically, whether he keeps up with the generic advice or starts to contribute concrete and strong analysis.

Here's our aggressive player. He jumped on my post a lot more forcefully than Erandorr did, before quickly moving on to Palmar, WBG, and then finally Hiro. I'm interested in seeing how he plays after Day 1, because right now he's just cycling through targets, and that could either be him as a townie trying to pressure and find scum, or as scum trying to elicit a response from a skittish townie or blue and take us to a mislynch. He needs to be watched for how he forms his analysis and what the content of it is.

jaybrundage:

Right now, he's being a sheep. That's either due to the fact that he's new, or because he's trying to blend in. He got called out early, and after that he's just sort of been going along with majority opinion. Case in point:

If you could pick one player (Not yourself) to make mayor (decides day 1 lynch + a couple night's worth of protection), who would it be and why?

I would personally pick MZ. He's level headed, and a decent scum-hunter, so I don't think he'd do anything crazy with a day 1 lynch, and the protection would come in handy with letting him live until later when he could scum-hunt more effectively.

Back to you guys.

Or you could talk about the game. As in waht you are proposing that does not really help us but instead wastes a ton of time. Maybe MZ would make a great Mayor in general, but his only post was shit. Why not talk about what is already there and how do you think your suggestion could help in any way? In my opinion it does not get anything going because it in no way puts pressure on Scum or forces them to reveal information Turned around it also does not help establishing townies either.
For example I respect Sandro a lot (because he helps me with my dwarf fortress ! ) and he is a good Scumhunter. But I could say he would make a great mayor if I was Town OR Scum because it is not related to this game and the alignments and you seem to ignore what people(in this case MZ) already did until now.

At this point I actually just want to lynch the Lurker who produced the least amount of content at the end of this day. Anyone else like that Idea?

Honestly I do have to agree that the only Mr.Wiggles post seems very off topic. He says its going slowly and then decides to start a discussion that is pretty irrelevant. Did you have any point in this pick a mayor thing, and if so what?

I also am rather dismayed that WBG hasn't posted yet.

I know you where trolling

Im with you Erandorr, I would like to start this game off on the right foot. So lets lay down some frame work: Towns goal for day 1 should be to create a good town atmosphere. What is good town atmosphere you ask? Well there is the obvious stuff like dont lurk, post with content etc. But there is less obvious stuff like pointless arguing, spam, and aggressive tunneling that Have haunted TL towns in the past. Those things only further scum objectives. I will be taking a hard stance on anyone that derails positive discussion this game.

Lets start off on the right foot!

TO this is quite worrying. Although i do see the point of this post not completely irrelevant just establishing some guidelines which maybe obvious to some but always good to have a reminder imo.


AND I STILL WANT WBG TO POST especially seeing as he was the first topic of discussion

Something to be aware of as we approach LYLO.

Wherebugsgo:

This is interesting, because he comes in rather later than everyone else and puts effort into attacking my post after most people had left it. It's a case of people jumping on a bad post and repeating what had already been said, because bashing something bad is easy and gets you brownie-points from town. It was mostly left alone until he brought it up again, so I'm curious as to why he did so. He didn't contribute anything that hadn't been said already, so what's the motivation? I mostly see bad players and scum do this, and I don't consider WBG to be a bad player.



So, my post got me some information that I consider valuable and more information on certain players than the rest of the thread did before that (besides maybe Hiro). Too bad no one was really dumb and actually responded to my question though, because most townies here are smart enough to know not to and it would have been an easy scum-tell.


Now one thing has caught my eye, and thats the following: first in his post he talks about Meapak:

Meapak_Ziphh:

Here's our aggressive player. He jumped on my post a lot more forcefully than Erandorr did, before quickly moving on to Palmar, WBG, and then finally Hiro. I'm interested in seeing how he plays after Day 1, because right now he's just cycling through targets, and that could either be him as a townie trying to pressure and find scum, or as scum trying to elicit a response from a skittish townie or blue and take us to a mislynch. He needs to be watched for how he forms his analysis and what the content of it is.

Remember this bolded part. So when there is some heat on, says this:

Meapak_Ziphh on the other hand, has shown that he's definitely scummy. He was trying to play the hyper-aggressive townie, but he hasn't played his role quite well enough. Notice that he makes aggressive moves towards multiple players in a short period of time, before settling on hiro. This is enough to establish himself as "scumhunting", but then he never follows up. There's barely any additional pressure on hiro after his vote, he doesn't try to convince anyone else in the town to vote for hiro, he doesn't respond to what I said about him, and he basically disappears from the thread. This is incredibly scummy, and contrary to everything a townie should be doing after early aggression.

##Vote: Meapak_Ziphh


So instead of "watching for how he forms his analysis and what the content of it is" he votes on Meapak for disappearing . thats a bit of a jump from "watch this guys post" to "He is scum". the other thing that has bothered me about Wiggles is that he makes no mention of me at all, when the rest of town has put up there thoughts on me. Why leave me out wiggles when I was looking very scummy?

So based on what others have said, as well as my own reads, I am be OK with lynching Wiggles.

All the rest:

I have a funny feeling about Prphz, and I would be OK with lynching him. WBG is slightly more readable and reasonable so far this game, which in its self makes me feel funny but I cant deny his actions have been protown so far.

Ill need more time to read over Sand and Palmar Ill be around till slightly before lynch


Pray tell, what in this post actually says anything?

Other than that I just think hiro is a better lynch than Wiggles. Wiggles isn't a bad lynch, and like Meapak I'm fine with him dying. It's just weird to me that no one is defending Wiggles at all. Unlike Palmar, I don't believe scum would just autobus in a 2 scum game, particularly day 1.

I mean think about it, one dead is half the scumteam gone. On day 1 that's a huge loss, because in this setup that means you have to play the rest of the game by yourself and struggle to catch up. Last game I was in that position, basically, since my other half was sick (<3 Radfield) and Kurumi/RoL were really inactive. Wiggles has received no defense at all and that's incredibly strange.

However, while I was typing this post jaybrundage posted this:

He chose to wait all day until it was ensured that Wiggles was dying, then posted this. He has had no influence on today at all.

This vote is meaningless since Wiggles already achieved majority.


First he takes time to ever so delicately defend Wiggles while at the same time justifying his vote for hiro. Then he once again calls out hiro and restates that hiro is a better lynch and sows more doubt about the Wiggles lynch. He also ends this post attacking jaybrundage. Now I agree that jay’s vote is absolutely terrible, however if WBG is scum he gains two things out of attacking that post. Not only does he look protown by calling out bullshit, he also sets himself up for day 2 when people are going to be milling around for a target. Jaybrundage is a SUPER easy lynch for that vote and his poor play on day one, WBG is setting the lynch up here.

nice.

with this flip I think we need to look at jay carefully tomorrow.

Hiro's probably still a good bet but I think jay looks worse now.

Everyone go back and read with this flip in mind!

Boom more anti jay posting. This brings his earlier post back into mind. If he’s scum, he knows the flip and can start pressuring Jay before the flip essentially. With the flip he can now begin calling for jay’s death a lot more strongly.

I don't think that any of the first 5 people voting for Mr. Wiggles yesterday is scum. You just get too far behind if you start out by bussing your teammate, 1v7 is not a great situation for scum.

This leaves wherebugsgo, Meapak_Ziphh, and jaybrundage.

jaybrundage strikes me a genuinely new at this game, and I think a newbie would be more giddy about the QT, about making plans and talking to his scumbuddy before doing something crazy. I don't think a newbie as scum would overplay his newbieness in his very first game. I don't see him voting for wherebugsgo if he were scum, he'd be a lot more worried about getting caught and about his QT.

This leaves wherebugsgo, and Meapak_Ziphh.

I think this is very hard to decide but I don't think that Mr. Wiggles would have pushed for Meapak_Ziphh if Meapak_Ziphh had been his scumbuddy. This is again the "You don't bus your teammate 2v7 day1" idea, they wouldn't want the lynch to be between them as one of them would clearly get lynched then. I think if Meapak_Ziphh had been scum, Mr. Wiggles would have had better targets for lynch that day, such as hiro protagonist but also jaybrundage and Erandorr.

This leaves wherebugsgo.

I think it would be very hard to catch wherebugsgo doing anything overly scummy because, as Palmar stated, he is quite good at scum.

- He doesn't hammer Mr. Wiggles on a flaky foundation of "liking his points about Erandorr".
- He tries to make us focus on hiro protagonist and jaybrundage after lynch, two people who might appear as easy targets but I doubt that either of them is scum.
- He needlessly softclaims power role in his very first post.

I don't think that this alone is enough to pin wherebugsgo as scum but by the process of elimination, I think he's the player who is most likely to be the last scum.


1. Didn't hammer Wiggles cause I thought hiro was the better lynch.

2. Hiro/Jay are not easy targets, and I am actually not suggesting we pursue hiro. Did you not read my last post where I asked Meapak why he's ignoring the fact that hiro was one of the votes on Wiggles?

3. What?


These are his response to prphlz’s points. Regarding his second point, hiro was the easy target day one, when he and I were arguing hiro slipped and slipped and slipped. Going after him is easy and gives you cheap town credit. Now on day two Jay is an easy target as well for his poor play and late vote on wiggles. If we assume that scum wouldn’t bus scum day one, then that really leaves WBG, jay, and I. Each of us has a very limited number of targets to choose from to advocate a lynch today. Undoubtedly though, jay is the easiest lynch for WBG to push.

Now I understand that it's just as easy for WBG to make a similar case against me. Thus if the town decides to lynch me today I'd understand that and tbh I'd be fine with it as long as WBG is lynched tomorrow.

tl;dr: WBG is scum. He pushed the easy target day one and soft defended Wiggles throughout, he set himself up to go after jay today, another easy target. He's actually the only player fully soft defend wiggles (the only thing I ever said was that hiro was a better lynch, I never said I actually agreed with some of Wiggle's points).
