So I don't quite get this. You post a list with people you believe that play the game well and you want to protect them in case they are town?
I think forming lists so early in the game is just meant to guide people according to your plans.
Yep.
I don't want people to protect them in case they're town. I want people to analyse them and figure out which ones of them might be town. Without having the time to write up extensive analysis, I'd say for example prplhz and deconduo are pretty scummy out of that list.
It's pretty simple, just like the request I made of blind-rawr, all I am doing is encouraging people to read, analyse, post and contribute to the game. Make independent, but informed decisions. The DT check list is also meant to help with that. There my goal is to give 10 players who have questionable or scummy play up until now, because those will more likely be the focus of town lynches/kills, and thus having them checked helps deducing one's sanity.
DTs and medics are free to ignore my advice, but they must have solid reasons for the targets they choose. I would suggest every DT, Hatter, Medic, rolecop etc, should note down a few sentences in a private document, justifying their actions to themselves.
If later in the game they're forced to roleclaim or something, they will be hanged if they claim to have done something that cannot be justified. For example, any doc who claims to have protected someone who hasn't posted on night 1, is going to be hanged, because it's not a believable claim.

No, I can't. And you should know that this list you are trying to make based on day 1 reads is worthless. I realize that you are spending a lot of time in this game, but I'm reaching the conclusion that time is being converted towards making you look good, not effectivelly trying to catch scum. You know what you should be doing if you wanted to get things done and have all this time available is trying to find a really strong case for a single scum and from there derive information on others. That's normally what's expected of day1 play, finding one obvious scum in this mess that made a mistake and captalizing on it, not building 50 weak cases on "suspicious day1 people". That doesn't help shit.

No, you're wrong.
Flip desks all you want, that won't make you right. Lists are helpful, because no one has carefully read through the posts of 80 people. I have information that is relevant to those who have power roles. The decision is ultimately theirs, they can choose to ignore my advice, that doesn't mean town is better off without information.

This will happen tomorrow. There is no huge reason to build a case right now since we have no means of doing anything about it even if I prove someone is scum.
My time is best spent doing exactly what I am doing now. At least at the moment.

Also sorry for the pissy mood. I'm just hungover like hell.

Palmar, I would like you to comment on serejai, read my filter for my case on him.

Okay, I will not have time to post much until closer to the deadline. This game is really fucking big and it's hard to get things done.
Here is the current list of targets who look bad, and are thus likely to be at least scrutinized, even flipped.
BLinD-RawR
deconduo
Hier
Tyrran
bonifaceviii
Zeks (sandroba's addition)
Cwave (gave me his vote with no second thought and disappeared)
That leaves three spots on the list. Wherebugsgo gets one, Jackal58 gets one and BloodyC0bbler gets one. Should they not provide a candidate for the list, we're going with prplhz (for scummy shit around the elections), Coagulation (for refusing to post, especially as scum), and Lemonwalrus (for not providing any content to the game).

whenever you write something like this could you mind putting some content in the post as well? thanks
or you could maybe explain to me why one liners like this are helpful and why my long post about the quality of the thread should be completely disregarded?

why do you think this?

Any list of players posted by anyone for the sake of encouraging blue actions upon said players should be heavily suspected of being mafia. I'm not saying this because I'm on such a list, I rather enjoy being on one; it merely means there is a higher chance I will get framed, rather than shot in the middle of the night. Any townie kills that the mafia don't have to do directly is advantageous for mafia, since that way they get to use their nightly shots on people not likely of being lynched.

ok so since palmar absolutely wanted me to(I wanted to wait a bit more and gather more info).I'll give you guys a few of my reads.
Serejai-I'd say that he is really suspicious and should be on your list palmar,he claims that everyone that ran for mayor other than sinani and BC are mafia scum,going as far to out annul who came into the game as a replacement to some other person.Hes a really bad troll or a terrible mafia either way he is scummy.
Coming back to BC,while I don't find him to be scummy based on his posts I feel that his sudden rise on votes is suspicious.

lol stop hinting bullshit, either you're not thinking it through or you're deliberatly misleading yourselves AND others.
the so called information comes from research. If you actually think that was a scumslip made by palmar you should get your head examined.

Wowowo, all nice and lovely you want to get me engaged more in this game(i assume thats why you list me) but not under the argument that "i gave it no thought and disappeared" cause that is not true. Of everyone who ran for mayor i actually have experience with you in mafia games(outside of TL but whatever) and i know you make a good mayor. Seeing the other candidates and their advertising for it, you were the only option that struck me as usefull for the townies.
On the other hand I must admit i'm a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of posts as i've not been in a game this big and as a result í've been lurking more then i normally would. As someone else pointed out, after day/night1 when all you old-timers are done with your courting ritualsspam for the game-start, i'm convinced more new guys will speak up.
Having said this, i think Hier is a very good check. His way of dealing with attacks and the argumentation following it are signs of mafiablood in his veins. He doesn't really counterargument the attack but redirects. If you're green, there is no need for redirection.
