It's been time for some time, JB.

Half of my posts you called Hedging. The way you post it i assumed hedging was something a mafia would do.
However as far as i can see it hedging is just stating your opinion with out stating it as a fact or a statement correct?
Well ofc this is the case so far the only person who's alignment i know is me and Bbyte.
Therefore i could state Bbyte is a town or that he was pushing a town agenda but was lurking. I would not have to say i think hes pushing a town agenda. Or it seems to me. Or any of that bullshit.
The reason i use this hedging is because i don't know anything. Everything that i state is speculation, analyze, and my thoughts on a matter.
So in the end everyplace that you said i was hedging was really just me giving my thoughts and opinions on someone.
No, where you're hedging you're deliberately not making statements so you can't be accountable to them later. The fact of the matter was, where other people were making analysis and backing up their claims with evidence, you were hedging like a hedgehog. This is typical mafia play, to try to lay low and not stick out the head.

What i said
BByte-
He has posted but not alot he seems content to just respond to people. He did comment about breadcrumbs which is true. Its funny because in my game of Mini Mafia X WBG claimed a blue role and because he breadcrumbed it people beleived him. He did post his reads on people which is good. I would like to see more posting from him. My question is what do you think of adam Bbyte
What BH wrote
Continuing to dislike Adam. Says Bbyte is quiet, but crucially talks about WBG's breadcrumbing in mini mafia X, claiming that it caused people to believe him... while crucially leaving out the fact that WBG wasn't actually the jailkeeper in that game. WBG was a mafia member using breadcrumbs to pretend to be the jailkeeper. People bought his story, and so he won as mafia. This is NOT a good example of breadcrumbing, this is showing its crucial limitations! WBG WAS NOT BLUE IN THAT GAME.
Ok for this im going to get Bbyte's quote so we have some context. Show nested quote +On December 04 2011 21:58 BByte wrote:Good morning afternoon, nice to get the game started.

Well, with something like a counter-claim, we have to decide who's telling the truth and who's not, breadcrumbs are useful for this later in the game. Breadcrumbs aren't useful. Nothing about breadcrumbs confirms the person performing them. There is nothing that stops the mafia from having an elaborately thought out claim they've breadcrumbed since day one. Do not attempt to use breadcrumbs to confirm anything. Breadcrumbs alone can't confirm a claim, but they can still be useful in analyzing which claimant is the real one. Depending on who the claimants checked, whether any of those checks flipped is still valid information to use. Back to reading the thread, more thoughts later. Also feel free to ask me anything, I'll be happy to discuss stuff that's not already beaten to death. Hm So i said that WBG was roleclaiming and because of his Breadcrumbs people believed him (incorrectly because he did turn out to be mafia). But as Bbyte said Breadcrumbs alone can't confirm a claim So i agree with him. Because WBG used them to his advantage as mafia. Maybe i assumed that people would know about the game. But i dont think i did anything mafia like in this maybe just assuming something?
Funny how ambiguously worded that paragraph was, that it could mean one thing or the other depending on if people called you out on it or not. You literally didn't mention, link, or QUOTE that WBG WAS SCUM IN THAT GAME. This seems like a fairly crucial detail in a game full of people who haven't played before.

Are you honestly calling that post Link Do you think that we should let our emotions guide our conversation. I was using examples but getting heated in this game is not gonna help us. I could call you out as Stupid and being idiotic for lynching a townie. But obviously even if i was pissed it would be dumb to do that. I think that we can both agree that you making a snide remark to ey about playing lol didnt help at all in finding mafia. Don't you agree?
I stand by the descision to lynch Bbyte. At the time we made it, it was our best option. I also made up with ey215 very quickly after that. I'm not calling you out because I dislike you personally; I'm calling you out because you're a mafia member and by lynching you we can win this game.

On another note EB you wrote you think im scum. Plz provide a case. Or what you say is useless
HAH. HAH HAH HAH. You are fully aware EB is dead and asking him for a case. Literally every townie is fully aware of this. Are you really trying to pretend you don't know the mafia shot him? Nobody's gonna buy that. There's no way you don't know the mafia shot EB. This is another lame attempt at looking town that is obviously not working.

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.
This is not actually a refutation of my case. QUOTE ME. QUOTE YOURSELF. Show me where you unequivocally make a solid case BEFORE THE VOTING DEADLINE PASSEd. Show me. Evidence.
But there is none, right? There's no evidence becuase you're guilty.

Because JB is scum, and now that the pressure on he's scumslipping hella hard. Ii thought this was fairly clear.

Don't worry JB is just freaking out because we know he's mafia and trying to deflect attention. The fact that you're claiming you got blocked doesn't say anything about your alignment. You could be a Blue or Green who got blocked, or you could be a Red who is claiming he got blocked (knowing that the roleblocker held back this round) to try to gain cred. It's just a statement, not a claim, nothing more, nothing less.

Drinks were had, and they also performed an impressive experiment involving tequila, oranges and fire. There were no major injuries, and one death. Memories of the evening went foggy after that. At the class several of the students showed the effects of a late night of heavy drinking, but what really caught everyones attention was not the state of those present, but one notable absence. Zona arrived and looked around the classroom. "Isn´t ElectricBlack here yet? Not much we can do about that, we will just have to continue the exercise without him."
ElectricBlack, the Vanilla Townie missed class and was expelled!

It makes sense to start putting together a case now and refine it as you get more information.

I mean, hell, how do you get more input? By people making analysis. You should at least contribute a bit. The townest thing to do is to contribute, you know.

I'd like to take the discussion in at least a mildly different direction and ask if we should be acting on the information we got by the mafia offing EB. Frankly, I was a little surprised they didn't go after Blazing unless they thought we'd have a medic and they'd be protecting him.
Also, do they want us lynching one of the three people (if I recall correctly) that EB had focused on or did they get rid of him to shut him up and keep him from persuading us?
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much there is to gain from trying to analyze mafia night actions, just because they can be so confusing-- it can be classic WIFOM (wine in front of me, a reference to the circular logic of the mercenary's puzzle in the princess bride). Maybe EB was right on the money, maybe he wasn't. All we know now is that he was town.
Maybe they didn't go for me because they don't think I'll point in the right direction. Maybe I'm actually mafia and this is an elaborate ploy, so of course they can't go for me. Maybe I'm town and they're not shooting me to cast suspicion on me. Maybe there's a doctor and they think he's saving me (Mafia know which 2 blues are in the game).
In the end, we can't deduce anything from their actions because they know we will try to do so.

I agree with this, but corollary: we should just lynch the scummiest person in general, regardless of who EB thought was scum. It just so happens he and I agree on JB.

@jaybrundage Had to move my computer. Answer: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING. I voted BByte before BH did, I was building my case on him before BH did, I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO TALK ABOUT BH. How is that a sheep vote?
You can go ahead and lynch yourself now.
Don't worry man JB will ignore any questions/comments that incriminate him, and will lie and misdirect, because he has no answer for this because, of course, he's scum.
Look, to the people who aren't me, Veli, or JB: read JB's arguments carefully. In my opinion, they're usually deceitful and based on misdirection, dodging questions, and outright lies. I'm going to read over what was posted when I was sleeping and put together a response, but I really think that if you take a look at the way JB has been defending himself and the evidence against him and his general unhelpfulness, and think for yourself, you'll find your way to the truth.
Time to do some more analysis :D
Also, anyone who has analysis on people who aren't JB, please post it (if you already haven't). This is probably the most helpful thing you can do since we want to continue collecting information.

The mafia probaly saw this as a threat and that combined with the spite everyone was showing EB made him an easy target. If the majority of people did not like EB would they really feel like his death was a real loss? Definitely not, I feel like the lack of posts about EB proves that. Since everyone felt like EB was going to be an unproductive townie they thought the act was seemingly random, so no one has had the insight to really dig into his death.
Analyzing mafia actions in this manner is a waste of time and I think is the like, primordial initial WIFOM. What if literally every insight you just made about the mafia is inverted, and the mafia is doing this to throw you off? That could actually be the case. I think we're better off analyzing the actions of people who are still alive than leaping through loops of circular logic about the EB kill.
All the EB kill tells us is that he was town. That's all. Maybe the mafia targeted him because we pressured him. Maybe they targeted him because he said JB was scum. Maybe they targeted him because JB WASNT mafia and they want jB and HB to look guilty. Who the hell can say? I personally think they targeted him because he was an unlikely medic heal candidate (assuming, of course, we even have a doctor) but we can't say for sure.

All my scumreads were mild, and I don't think we could have increased the probability that we'd lynch a mafia guy in any meaningful fashion by lynching someone different. I don't think anyone was really able to say "this guy here is a mafia" and be justified. We also demonstrated a willingness to lynch lurkers, and I'm sure we will continue to aggressively attack people for lurking in the future. This sets a dangerous precedent for mafia members, who feel pressured to both lurk and now to not lurk. What if another townie starts lurking? Do we lynch him on day 2? Or do we give lurkers a free pass from now on, allowing the mafia to stay out of the spotlight?
If another "townie" starts lurking? We don't know whether or not he's a townie.
If another player starts lurking, and we don't have a solid scumread, he's dead. I think this should be obvious; otherwise the mafia will just lurk.

I still feel that from now on we do need to include a reason why EB got killed along with our scum posts. I feel like it still has to make sense that the person we chose to lynch tonight had something to gain from EB's death. From your experience do you feel that the mafia had no motive (besides the fact that he was an easy kill?)
I strongly disagree. I think that EB was killed, and maybe it was someone who had something to gain, or maybe it was someone who didn't have something to gain, except insofar as trying cast suspicion on other people. Do you really not understand what a waste of time it is to try to analyze it as far as "who had something to gain?"
Look, there are some good things we can learn from the EB death.
1) EB was town
2) the mafia probably killed him because he wasn't doctor protected
3) his death doesn't point the finger at anyone atm
Look, I'm suspicious of JB and HB, both of whom EB thought was scum. But I'm not suspicious of them BECAUSE EB thought they were scum, and maybe they killed him to shut him up. I'm going after JB because of his ACTIONS.
When you start analyzing people based on stuff other than that, you're likely to end up lyching someone for no reason.
