so if you died and flipped vig you think an upside down question mark would make it apparent that you tried to shoot zealos?
That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard hahahahaha

Like, I don't get it. What's the point of tryingto make me feel stupid about it? What purpose does that serve?

He's not, because he knows I'm town. He's just being a [REDACTED] about it.

sup. Haven't read the last 10 pages. Anyone willing to vote VE yet? Another post from my diary
That being said I'm fairly convinced the vets are posting no matter of alignment and the not-vets are hiding between lurkers if they're mafia, which makes it so hard to figure them out.
=> I really want to lynch into a vet because they're way easier to read.

holy crap there we go, 7 people on VE. a bunch me needed!

7. This game follows Extended Majority Lynch. In order for a player to be lynched, they must reach majority before the deadline, or else a no lynch will take place. Majority is #Players alive / 2 Rounded up. Pretty sure that's wrong and it's rounded down +1 because if the written thing is right majority would be 14, however it should be 15. 28 / 2 => 14, rounded up = 14 => makes no sense 28 / 2 +1 => 14, rounded down +1 = 14 +1 = 15 => much more like it.
So we will need at least 8 votes on VE.

I don't like lynching VE cause he always flips town whenever he does scummy shit.

that means to lynch VE we'd need everyone who's voted so far today to vote for VE, including VE.

I like how everyone's all "let's lynch zealos gogogogogo lynch zealos gg"
and then Meapak wants to kill VE so everyone switches and is all like "let's go lynch VE gogogogogo"
If VE turns out to be town then I'm going to be fairly suspicious of those people who derailed the zealos lynch by moving their votes.
Basically anyone whose name is not Meapak, since he's pretty much confirmed town.
For now though my vote stays on Zealos since I'm more confident that he's scum. Based on VE's past few games I can't say I have what it takes to get a proper read on him.

A case is coming, it's dominant. Probulous I asked you to check out Storm earlier, if you've done that the case will be much easier to read...I'll reference it a lot. In short, Kita's town play is easily identifiable, as I'll show, and his play this game is not his town play, as I'll also show.

No idea what maju is yet. Kita depens on the flips of other people while looking bad himself.

Kita's vote on (policy?) Tyrran while attacking Toad for defending Tyrran while attacking RedFF for his history regarding policy lynches and then unvoting Tyrran to vote RedFF is weird. Don't know what I should think about it. I like that you can argue with someone while still having the same opinion but this just looks way to double sided.
I see no scummyness from Chaoser's town read on VE. Other people have done similarly things in this game. But chaoser as a whole is a bit flip floppy... This type of language makes you look scummy. If you don't know what to think about an action, why are you bringing it up? Providing no opinion is essentially summarizing, which is an easy way to contribute without contributing. If you think someone is scummy call it scummy. Calling things weird doesn't say anything one way or another.

Yes, I attacked you for your discrepancy in opinion, does that make me scummy? Have any of the reasons in your omgus vote pointed to me being scummy? You pushed a policy lynch and immediately backed off an hour into the game after getting in trouble. You didn't even mention that you still wanted to lynch tyrran. Instead it took my questioning for you to even bring it up. If tyrran was your preferred lynch, why did you switch to me hours later? You said you dropped tyrran because you didn't think you could get him lynched. Does that mean you're more confident that you can push my lynch? Or is it that you are simply attacking your attacker? You discredited the ability to scum hunt on day one, push a policy lynch because of a mafia epiphany, drop the policy lynch because you were simply generating discussion, go back to supporting the policy lynch after being questioned, and then swap to the guy who is questioning the policy lynch. Nap time. As much as I enjoy talking about red, I'll try to look at everyone else when I wake up.
You probably don’t recognize these posts. This is from Storm Mafia, among his first act in the game. Immediately Kita attempts to establish his innocence with stuff that matters: finding scum. But not just finding scum, finding ACTUAL scum. That’s the thing here: in these posts, Kitaman is very clear about what he finds suspicious about redFF’s behavior. Why? Because he’s not just trying to smirch redFF’s name, he’s attempting to discern his alignment. Kitaman is town in this game and doesn’t KNOW redFF’s alignment. Contrast that with his first few posts of this game.

Now, understandably, the circumstances are slightly different as we have a mayoral election in this game. However, as a townie your number one priority is to find scum. That includes in this game, because if we elect a scum mayor or pardoner, then we’re at an even greater disadvantage. However, there’s a distinct lack of scumhunting in ANY of Kita’s early posts. Verily, it isn’t until I start attacking Kita that he comes up with his very first “scum read”, me.
I could go on and on and on, the differences are night and day. The easiest thing to do is for you to go read Storm Mafia yourself. However, I wanted to look at one more thing before I move on: reaction to a blue claim. Here is Town Kita responding to a blue-claim kinda similar to mine (only with more ragequitting and less awesomeness)

On one hand, a mafia player who is set to die should always be claiming blue, but on the other, his claim ties up a potential roleblocker. Tracker is a tricky claim because even confirming it doesn't necessarily mean he isn't a mafia stalker or something. I'll be keeping my vote on him for the moment. Now to everyone else: I've enjoyed comedy hour with Jackal, but his filter is completely void of content. Not a single post showing he isn't just along for the ride.

I'd like to see wherebugsgo explain how everything redFF has done can be explained by scum motivation and can not be explained by town motivation. The worst thing about this whole redFF thing is that the lynch is so easy that everybody can just pile onto him and then the day is kinda ruined, we aren't going to find anybody else.

There's also plenty good in having him around since scum can't role block anybody else no matter redFF's alignment. The lynch today comes down to "We very likely have to lynch redFF at some point, should it be today or do we have something better?". Right now, I think it's too early to say. These two statements by prpl completely contradict each other. You argue how you don't think red is scum, but you're willing to vote him to avoid no lynch? How does that make sense? If you're going to argue that he really is blue, then of course a no lynch would be more beneficial. How about push a different lynch if red isn't your priority? This is really poor from him.

Please note the following things: he’s cautious to consider the ramifications of the claim, and he does so succinctly before moving on to other scum - that is, his main scum target claimed blue and he’s immediately off looking for other scum IN CONJUNCTION with the claim. Please note that this is D1 and FAR less has happened in this game than in the game we’re playing now.

I was somewhat weirded out by the "I love you" comments, since he did the exact same thing with chaoser in arkham, but I disagree with VE that he is the best lynch for today. syllo has more posts on day one than he usually does in an entire game as scum. Unless he has drastically changed his scum game, he is looking town. It's already been said, but I'll agree that an inactive RoL is a scum RoL. He promised a good showing, but right now he being considered for a lynch. Got anything to say? I dislike people passing off prpl as bad. He had a monster scum game in the large game hosted by GM and had a good showing in responsibility. That being said, his "I don't think red is scum, but I'll vote for him to secure the lynch" post is really poor. It was really early in the day, why isn't he providing an alternate lynch candidate instead? Additionally, his posting has been really defensive and it shows that not getting himself lynched seems to be a priority. nuke hasn't done any scum hunting. His explanation for his vote was "because syllo said so". I'll see if I can come up with a better case on someone tomorrow, possibly chaoser.

man I'm too lazy for this shit right now.
It's 5 am, gonna go to sleep and come back.
Not wanting to lynch VE because he's flipped twice as town (liar game and MTG) when doing really scummy shit is a perfectly fine IMO. I have literally never seen a town player do what he's done in both of those games. His play in this game is a bit different, conservative in comparison almost, but even so I can't tell whether that's because he's tired of getting mislynched or because he's actually scum this time.
Maybe I'm just discouraged with him flipping town when I think he's scum. I got him in LI but that feels like it doesn't mean anything anymore when he exhibits 10,000 scum tells and then flips town instead.

Kitaman27: Pt 2
The Sad, Sad Tale of Lyncher-Foot
Pt. 1 was all about meta...he looks good as town, he looks bad this game. Simple enough. Pt. 2 is going to be about his Lyncher fixation which has been glossed over briefly by several people.
Now, I understand why town wouldn’t want the lyncher in office, in theory. IN THEORY, according to the numbers, the lyncher’s target is going to be town, so having him in office means that he’ll probably lynch into townies. But the problem with that is, if he just lynches into the towniest individuals in an attempt to kill his “townie target”, then town is going to CRUCIFY him for it!
Everyone take a look at Wiggles’ town-cred right about now. Wiggles tried to lynch the scummiest target he could and HE STILL TOOK MASSIVE FLAK FOR IT! What do you think would happen when a Lyncher shoots his load into town on D1?
Now, obviously there’s the double-vote to consider, and he’d probably wait to really mislynch until he’s surer of his target, yadda yadda, yes you’re correct. However, this isn’t Kita’s concern. Kita’s concern is keeping the Leader position out of the hands of the Lyncher, so the Lyncher can’t win D1. He even goes so far as to random-vote for mayor.
Then Toad claims mason. Here’s his response:
On May 28 2012 04:08 kitaman27 wrote: Hmm, mason would be a great claim for a lyncher. Doesn't matter if he's telling the truth on day two since he's already won by then.
As much as I'd like to see a town role elected, we can't automatically assume toad is town.
On May 28 2012 05:49 kitaman27 wrote: Lets end the discussion right now.
Toad is our pardoner.
It's the best of both worlds. It ensures we don't have a scum pardoner, which is the more dangerous of the two roles and it protects us from a mayor lyncher. If you're town toad, then great we denied the role. If not, then we don't really care if you would prefer mayor.
Here’s the thing about how he responds: he’s indifferent about whether or not Toad is town or the Lyncher, he just doesn’t want him in control of the D1 lynch.
But!!!!!
The D1 lynch isn’t the end of the Lyncher’s danger to town! The Lyncher is still a threat to town regardless of whether he’s the mayor or not! Furthermore, if he was so concerned about the lyncher winning, then if he thought Toad might be the lyncher it’s optimal to KILL Toad, not keep him around another day. Why? Because even if Toad isn’t the Leader, town may still hit his target and win him the game!!
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In the OP, the Mod wrote: Lyncher Must get his target lynched to win. If he does not, he loses.
There’s nothing about a time limit in there! There’s nothing that says it had to be done by D1! But this is the primary motivation behind putting Toad in office - to keep him from being mayor because he suspects he’s the lyncher.
I guess if the lyncher is this big “threat to town”, I wonder why Kita wasn’t more moved by Toad’s mason-claim, which after all, is “a great claim for lyncher”. I understand the theory behind “but his claim is like, confirmable DUDE!”...BUT, it seems to me that if Kita is “arguing for what’s best for town” and the Lyncher is a serious threat to town, SO MUCH SO that he’s not only betting the mayoral election on it, but making it the entire focus of his D1, then the possibility of Toad being the lyncher would be more frightening to him.
It’s not. He doesn’t care.
In Summary:
The lyncher is a joke role. It’s like a survivor, if you leave it alone it will either win or lose at the end of the game. Sure it might have a town target, but as Forumite’s flip showed us, it might have a scum target too.
Kita’s entire D1 activity was centered around removing this “threat” from town, in spite of the fact that nothing he did on D1 would actually remove this threat from town.
