I'm merrily sitting on the fence whether VE is town or scum. In the past I've voted to lynch him twice, and he was town, and in LI I didn't vote to lynch him, and he was scum. There's things I don't like about VE - the Zealos issue, and his meta case on kita, but there is waaaaaaaay too much stuff being read as a narrative. Almost anyone's filter can be made to read scummily if you want it to, but everything he says is being fit to this narrative without looking at the alternative. There's really too much "oh, might as well". Does everyone voting VE genuinely believe he's scum? Obviously this isn't aimed at kita/MZ/Toad, but the rest of you. Is he the best chance of flipping scum for today or are you being led by vocal people? I think he's scum based a lot off of MZ's case; his fixation on the lyncher role (and being against Toad despite the fact that he had 0 chance of being scum), and his continous flipfloppiness and lack of focus. I'll admit that I was against toad being elected simply because I don't like him having power (<3), but I articulated that it was very unlikely that Toad was scum, while VE tried to cast suspicion on him, even after the night actions and he had become masoned. VE claims to be intent on scumhunting, but for the most part hasn't made any big cases on his own other than the kita case, which is bad. all of his other targets originated from other sources, such as Zealos, G32. I might be mistaken (perhaps he did start a few small cases?), but for the most part, VE is playing very loose and unfocused, which you could argue is a lot like his town play, but he feels a lot more like TL LI VE atm. Shit up the thread, have little focus, try and make a ballooned up case when the going gets tough. Seriously, the case kita is quite bad.

Now I know scum don’t like to interact in the thread with each other, but with the amount of times VE has flip flopped around I find it highly likely that he’s also forgotten how many times he’s defended S&B.

Removing the fact that he promised not to use it (which like, what's a promise in Mafia anyway?) I didn't think the risk of having someone who by my estimation CAN be manipulated (no offense Toad, but I've played with you) in PMs holding the power over a lynch that I voted for was worth the "reward" of having "confirmed" * non-scum in office when we had obviously pro-town choices on the ballot. I'm sorry, I just didn't. I don't think that's anti-town at all, I think that's having an opinion on the only thing I have any kind of control over, the lynch/election. Remember all the different reasons why VE said we shouldn’t elect toad? I’m pretty sure this is version 3. He now has no choice to admit that toad is a mason (if ya’ll remember his original attack was that toad was lying) but he’s still fallen back on the “toad could be manipulated” line. He also doesn’t realize just how scummy it is to not vote for someone who you called town… although in his defense he later contradicted that… and then recontradicted it again. Here's the lie that's being forced on town right now: that me not voting for Toad was scummy. None of you voted for Toad, are any of you scummy? No, because it was all brought on by the EVIL MUDSLINGING VE right?

Seems like this would be the most pro-town play? Pardoner: Whoever agree's not to use the power ever seems to be the best bet. Yes, in some select scenario's it might be good to use it, but that seems to just be giving an excuse to any mafia player that could convince people that make him pardoner to use the power. Now some of my reads: Toad - Seems to be very town provided he can prove it using his "mason" powers. If not, we can lynch him tomorrow. BE - Leaning on town. His arguments earlier were annoying, but nothing that led me to think he's scum. Hyaah - ???? Lurker, could well be scum, want to hear what he has to say about the game so far.

What do you think? Does VE not get that scum try to play townie like? I mean given his performance this game I can understand where he may be confused about the whole “try and look townie” but it’s perfectly reasonable for someone to consider someone else to be playing in a town manner but still have reservations due to their role claim.

Sure, we lose more if he's town, but if anything, the claim lessens the chance that he's town. It's also tough to prove, so there's the danger that we end up in the same position tomorrow. | ||

VE's vote-jumping I dislike. VE's responses are inappropriate as a town. Marv, May I ask you what part of the case you find invalid? | ||

The case against VE is based primarily on the following
His claim has no effect on his alignment because we cannot prove it. The assumption that we have a watcher is stupid because as has been pointed out, the only way that works is if we out the watcher. If the watcher is useful they would be following VE who might actually shoot someone in which case we lose two blues for a red. It's a dumb plan and is based on assumptions we can't make. What do we do if VE claims roleblock tomorrow and there is no watcher? No we have to make up our minds based on his posting. The MZ case has holes which I have alluded to especially around discrediting Toad. MZ's logic has gone from VE wanting Toad dead to now creating "subtle" doubt about him. It makes no sense and is a large part of both of MZ case. I don't buy it. Next, note that the people who are hesitant about this lynch seem pretty townie to me. I like Mattchew, I don't see why scum would pull the stunt he did. I like austin, he is making sense. I am town. WBG had doubts, ET had doubts. These are townie responses to a case that doesn't explain WHY VE would act the way he did if he was scum. It is easy to point out stuff that looks scummy, but much harder to explain why scum would do that. Note how Kita has dissapeared and let others do his bidding. Remember he was the one that started this whole thing with his base case on VE. I don't like this wagon, there is no coutner push, no other option, nothing. It is simply the loudest players bullying through their choice of target. Finally, yes VE looks desperate but he giving us everything we ask for. He reads as desperately town to me and I will stand by that. I will not be voting for him today. Supersoft, what is deal? You hardly post anything and then when you do it is a stupid plan that is bound to fail. Wiggles, get your fat ass in here because as mayor you should have a spine. MZ, get your head out of your ass and think for a second about what VE would do if he was town. Right now Kita is the best choice of lynch. He started this VE train and has gently nudged it along letting others do the dirty work. I can deal with a Zealos lynch if it means VE survives. People think for yourselves in this matter, there is no reason for town to bully through a lynch like this, especially when we lost third party last night. For once we have a little leeway and can actually question, instead MZ is acting like a bull in china shop and that helps no-one. | ||

The number one thing - Even though he says he shot at Zealos N1, he's been all over the place D2. Town VE might swap votes and change his mind, but he was confident enough to fire at Zealos and then hasn't stuck with him hard all day today. Of course we've got new posts/information, but I don't like the movement. When your claim starts with you shooting at one of the current lynch options, then moves to a case on kita, then making the smart play and offering to fire and die tomorrow, it doesn't look good. Not a meta-reason, not "oh it's a bad breadcrumb." Maybe it's a mislynch. Again, we've spawned something here that we've got to deal with or it's going to mess with N2 and D3. Removing that distraction, when VE seems scummy, is worth the mislynch to me. | ||

VE's vote-jumping I dislike. VE's responses are inappropriate as a town. Marv, May I ask you what part of the case you find invalid? I think MZ has created a narrative and fit posts to it. VE is as per usual all over the place but I don't currently see the scum agenda that MZ claims is obviously there. There are even contradictions in things other people have said. Some people have said he was too nice and cooperative, while others have said he's shitting up the thread. The claim is a null. I can't find anything that convinces me VE should be scum rather than town. For reference, I went back and read Radfield's case on VE in WoF. The real 'a-ha!' moment in that case was where he picked up VE on his feigned surprise that MrZentor didn't get night-killed. There has been no tipping moment like that for me here. | ||

The fact that Zealos didn't die gave me time to reevaluate my read on him, and I took it as such. I'm not trying to tunnel blindly, I'm trying to find THE BEST LYNCH with THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF HITTING SCUM. | ||

I was the first person to bring up a case against him. How is that letting others do my bidding? Spending time convincing VE that he is scum isn't going to solve anything. I haven't disappeared. If you'd like a long list of individuals who have disappeared, I'd be more than happy to direct you their way. | ||
