Ok, back from my final. For those that might care I think it went well. 
On the Jay case: yes, he was hedging but there's a whole lot of hedging going on early in the game. Is it because he's trying to not take a definitive stand so he can't be held accountable for it later or is it because he truly doesn't know and is offering options? To me it felt like hedging, he's been pretty definitive in some of his other posts.
Ok, this got posted while I was typing this and going through filters:

##vote: jaybrundage
Fuck, I can't believe I'm jumping on the bandwagon but at the moment I don't see a better lynch option.
Now that I've voted I do want to talk about the EB killing. I know it's WIFOM, but I keep going around about it and it just doesn't make sense unless he was on to something or a threat to BH (if he's scum). I'm not convinced he had Hasseybaby right, but I think one of the three he had listed is for sure scum. He just hadn't posted enough to be a huge threat and may have even been someone they could get a lynch going on.
At the moment, I'm willing to give BH the benefit of a doubt. After seeing how well he's baited jaybrundage into slipping I think, if town, he's a valuable resource.
It seems like we've got two mini battles going on right now xtsc(or replacement)/tunkeg and jaybrundage/BH. I notice that they both involve names that EB threw out. If jay flips town I think we look at lynching BH, if he's mafia he manipulated jay into slipping masterfully.

Wow that post is stream of consciousness, I'll clarify if anyone needs it.

ey215, you're on the list of people I have a town read on. Could you look into xtsc/tunkeg debate a bit? I need to read up on it as well, but getting a solid read in there would also be good.
Also, I can't throw out the possibility that Veli is bussing JB. I'll be examining his posting as well. If you could help with this that would be great.
Replacement people: please try to get posting. We need you guys to develop a presence in the game asap.

It IS everyone’s fault that Bbyte ended up dead. We had 6 people follow BH’s invoking of a lurker lynch almost blindly, that is their failings and as BH has pointed out since, its also the failing of everyone else that none of us had put forward a compelling enough case to keep Bbyte off the hangman’s noose.
Parroting what Veli said. Yes, it is everyone's fault that we couldn't consolidate on a proper case but no, we didn't have 6 people follow BH's invoking of a lurker lynch almost blindly. Sounds like mafia trying to make us think that this wasn't as bad of a loss as it was to me.

Briefly looking over you new case its pretty shitty with no content.
Nice use of caps to make it seem like you have a point. Your "core of your argument. Is also dumb is stated multiple times i did not like the Bbyte case. I'm not gonna let you steamroll the townies into another mislynch.
Ill give people some time to read my case before i comment again. I was not expecting EB to get killed i was thinking either BH Veli maybe Grack even. I really wish he had posted his case on me instead of his empty comment that he thinks I'm mafia. Are you kidding? He’s spent hours looking at your filter and you “briefly look” at it. You might want to go back and examine the SHIT out of his case on you and start defending yourself properly. Calling his case “shit” is tantamount to saying “no u r”, it might have worked when you were 7, but its not flying here.
This is a great point (Jay either scumslipped really badly or he spends more time writing his own posts than analysing others, which is pretty bad), but Adam sure likes adding fluff to his arguments. All he needed was the bolded bit, everything else is completely pointless.

This is pretty bad. What is the right way to say it then? "I'm not going to let you steamroll me into mislynching myself"? I will revisit my suspicion from yesteyday when I thought that Adam might be bussing Jay.

This is a good point. Adam doesn't actually ADD any analysis in his posts against JB, and seems pretty comfortable hopping on the wagon. This could well be an indication of the bus. By voting early, he can later defend himself by saying "well I was one of the first guys to vote for JB"...
I think there may be (atm) a small case to be made against Adam. Nonetheless, I consider JB to be a much, much more solid scumread. We'll have to see how Adam responds to your analysis here.

Sure, stepping out for a late lunch, but I'll get deeper into it later today.

I'll do some more extensive analysis after classes and work today. I still think Hassy/Hassy's replacement is scum as per my previous posts. Right now JB's visibly scum (and hence, IMO, the best lynch for today - right now he's just serving as a distraction to the town as far as building other cases that will be more useful for days 3 and onward) but I'm going to put together some more stuff on Hassy this evening in addition to what EB already posted.

PS: JB, if you think both Velinath and I are mafia, I strongly recommend you vote for me instead of him (unless you think he's more likely to be mafia than me). I'm a much more aggressive player.

Town does not vote to punish bad play. Town votes to lynch mafia.

How about making a case or pushing the discussion further with some analysis?
I know I said I'm going to look at Jay and Velinath like 10 minutes ago but I can't allow ey215 to stay under the radar like this for another day.

EBWOP: I can't allow ey215..... so I'm updating my case on him tonight instead.

BH and Velinath, I think you should take a step back from Jay. You've made a very extensive case on him and the last few pages have turned into a farce with all the shouting. Unless you come up with something good to add, it might be better if you encourage other people to post their views on the issue or get another discussion going.

Man, we're all over it. JB has dug himself in a deep hole with his lies and misdirection, and I think anyone who does even a cursory analysis of his shouting will see the truth. I'm already encouraging people to do other stuff:

I consider JB the best lynch target, as has been the case for some time now, but we must continue our analysis of all players. He's only one of 3 mafia.

Alright, did some reading while eating.
Here seems to be the brunt of the xscsc/Tunkeg dilemma. Tunkeg, even in his initial read that he mildly flipped on on xsc sounded like he had some suspicions. After a change in his read, xsc lost it on him and they bickered causing Tunkeg to tunnel in further. Tunkeg even admits in a post today that his case was "thin".
I honestly think that this is the case of two potential townies going after each other. From everything I read, xsc's case on Tunkeg was very weak and again tunkeg called his own case "thin".
Something I did find odd is they both argued against the BByte lynch and yet still ended up voting for him.
Here's my read: Tunkeg Town
xsc: null.
I'm not convinced that xsc is scum, and would like to see his replacement do some posting so we can go from there and I do feel that Tunkeg has been doing what is in the best interest of the town up to this point. I'd have a hard time voting for either at the moment.

Right, and right now the best case for scum I've seen is the one on jay. I don't think it's currently possible to be 100% sold on anyone at the moment town or scum. I've read the filters, and have nothing unique to add to the discussion so why clog the thread up even further?
Am I supposed to be like, "FUCK YEAH WE'RE KILLING SCUM!" Besides BH, I don't think anyone is 100% sure on jay, but at the moment it's the best we've got. Hopefully it solidifies later in the day, or someone else catches something.Show nested quote +On December 08 2011 04:15 ey215 wrote:

Yes, because I did such a great job laying under the radar before. Let's see, pissing match with the most active/aggressive player in the thread. Check.
Getting myself warned for inactivity in big blue letters to point it out to everyone. Check.
Great job I'm doing staying under the radar.
Oh and you may have missed it, but let's see:

That's analysis of our current game state, and potentially pushing the conversation. You may or may not ever get a post with 10 quotes of someone from me. If I decide it is needed I will do it, but I'm not going to push some made up case that I come up with just for the sake of looking good. I've read the filters, along with the thread to get it in context, multiple times and have yet to see anything unique that hasn't been said. Anything you get from me on specific players will be a gut instinct or hunch and I don't like going on that.
Can't wait for your case, I'll be happy to respond.

My apologies, I misread that statement. So you still stand behind his replacement as very likely mafia?

I'd also like Starshard, xftttc, and Bluelightz to respond to the accusations that EB made. I know it sucks for the replacements but there needs to be some response to it. He seemed pretty damn convinced he had the game won and then got offed by the mafia overnight.

Whoops make that xfttc, Bluelightz and jaybrundage not Starshard. I had xsc on the mind after reading up on him and Tunkeg.

Ah, you are putting me on the spot here now. I would say he is the one I have the most scum read and scum feel about. Very likely is pushing it a bit far though. But he is definately the one I would go for atm.
