to summarize, it comes down to a basic principle. That it'll be better to have confirmed townies, and have a more accurate lynch now , than to have a less accurate lynch and less accurate night actions. The tradeoff is that it'll be slightly more likely for mafia/SK to shoot a blue. However, keep in mind that the less amount of blues amounts to a equally accompanied increase of a medic protecting a blue. Is it equal? No, but its offset by the medic protection chance and a more accurate lynch now.

I am also somewhat suspicious of Navillus, but it is more of a general feeling than specific evidence.

@Snarfs I think I wasn't clear on this, I will push for a Hyaach lynch if he continues to lurk or make posts that don't give real opinions after being called out specifically for that because that is scummy. Also on my posting style longer posts like what I've been writing are just the type of posts I make, I'd prefer to say too much and have someone like you be suspicious than say too little and miss something important, you can also check my meta, it's how I usually post.

VE you of all people should realize that Pandain making a silly claim doesn't make him scum, personally I think his claim is dumb but I don't see it as clearly scummy right now, just not strategic.

Do you really think VE would claim miller, and risk being counterclaimed, if he wasn't actually the miller? Do you really think theres a significant chance(>90%) of that?

Same goes with me. In regards to additional blue roles, masons aren't really a blue role. I doubt there are masons in this setup, but that doesn't mean we won't have an additional blue role. Masons aren't a power role. They were never even meant to be used in the way I'm envisioning them to.

Seriously stop the mason discussion it's pointless, hosts are fully aware that masons can be used this way and either way this is not helping find scum.

I don't care about mason claims. I agree that if masons claim it would be beneficial overall - but it doesn't matter because we don't know what exist in this game. You know what I KNOW exists in the game? Scum. I'm interested in lynching scum, and I want to talk about the lynch. NOT who you're going to target tonight. Why the dicks would we want to talk about that? You just "claimed" in thread, so you aren't afraid of scum RBing you? Why not?

No sir, I know what a shit claim looks like. BH is right, I of all people know what a shit claim looks like. Your claim doesn't even make sense. You say you "accidentally" claim, but then go on a tirade trying to discuss who you're going to target? Bullshit sir.

##Unvote MrZentor

For attempting to derail town discussion of the lynch. He's in direct violation of TL code. Lynch him.

I actually agree that this is getting off topic, and its just me and BH arguing semantics based on different perspectives of the principle I mentioned earlier.

To address VE shortly, however, you can refer to my earlier posts to see where I slipped my role, its even been quoted and pointed out. You can try to lynch me, though.

To commence, from this little barrage of posts I've analyzed more people. I think VE is more likely town. Navillus has attempted to(rightfully) steer discussion back onto owhere we should be discussing, which was definitely the town thing to do. Mafia would either want to take a stand on the mason issue, or simply not post. Navillus acting as such strikes me as town.

I'm also very suspicious of Zellblade, as he's hardly posted at all. In fact, hilariously enough, he's just asked interogative questions. Which I find hilarious and will do one day.

I do agree that the "accidental claim" looks a bit forced.

It could be that he claimed later as a vanilla town to act as a target.

I'm starting to think it's more likely that he's scum though, as why would he lie about accidentally claiming instead of saying that he was breadcrumbing if he were vanilla town?

How interesting scummy that you like to slip in something about Navi here but have still ignored my pointing out your contradictions.

Saying that we have different perspectives about the mason claim is like saying that bullets and massages have different perspectives about touching people.

Your accidental claim is crap, your asking masons to claim is crap, and your discussions and non-discussions are crap.

Nonono don't backpedal now Pandain. Please, continue musing about who your SECOND choice of target should be IN CASE we lynch your preferred target. It was fascinating I assure you.

[/sarcasm]

No man, I'm not buying it. If you were really a vig you wouldn't be saying you're going to SHOOT BH tonight, because you'd think you have him pegged as scum and we're going to lynch him. You're thinking in terms of night-actions, in terms of scum actions. You're going to hang today.

The thing is, whether the claim is forced or not I've been going over it and I just don't see the scum benefit to this claim, if someone can point to a clear reason it would be good for scum to do this (VE?) then I'll happily vote him, but I am quite honestly having trouble seeing it, and I'm going over what scum could do with this claim in every way that I can.

Also whether he's town or scum one thing he brought up needs to be noticed. way too many people are getting away with lurking frankly with this many people getting to avoid posting anything of substance I wouldn't be surprised if 2 or 3 scum aren't even posting enough to get looked at. Zelblade, Hyaach, Furer, and maybe to a lesser degree Kat all need to post on something recent and give their opinions.

I'm not going to get lynched because its retarded reasoning. I'll let other people defend myself. BH you doing an OMGUS on me doesn't help your case either.

I appreciate the talk on me, however. Might as well get some new discussion going.

Here, lets make things interesting and force people in.

Also this leads well into my thesis:

"BULLSHIT!"
An observation of the logical fallacy "too scummy to be scum" and it's effect on this game.

I think that Furerkip is scum. He's been looking at the game in a very limited way: removing bad townies so that scum are easier to find. However, as it's been observed numerous times in the past and what has become the town consensus is that this is a terrible way to play the game because there's no benefit to killing townies.

This is where the logical fallacy is rooted. In my post here

On June 05 2012 12:58 VisceraEyes wrote:
I'm trying to decide if kips motivation is coming from a scum standpoint.

On the one hand the suggestion that getting rid of "retarded townies" is somehow beneficial to town is blatantly anti-town and at worst indicative of furerkip pushing a mafia agenda. However, newer players get it in their mind somehow that the actions of townies can damage town somehow worse than the very real consequence of their death, which is shortening the game. Town's aim needs to be lengthening the game, not shortening it. That's why we aim for scum every single lynch, because every scum lynch increases the number of days the game lasts.

What gets me the most about furerkip is the fact that he is operating under the assumption that we're clear to "kill a retarded townie" under the assumption that we have "1 Mislynch we can work with". It's in this post...

On another note as to why I think VisceraEyes should be lynched, is because if there are 4 mafia, and 12 players, then we have 1 Mislynch we can work with, which is fine to use on retarded townies. That's just my belief when I play though. Anyone want to add anything?


...I don't understand the motivation behind this post. Like, as a townie, I'm not thinking in terms of how many townies we can kill before it's game over. I'm thinking in terms of killing scum. I aim for killing scum with the lynch, and so the number of townies "we can safely kill before LYLO" isn't even a concern to me because that number increases every lynch by my expectation, not decreases.

However, all of that being said, I can see him being a newer town not really knowing what's best for town, yet acting like he does to try and establish his innocence, which IS a mark in his favor where I'm concerned. Also it doesn't make sense for scum to be so brashly antagonistic so early in the game, though I am NOT ruling it out.

Ultimately, I'd be interested to see what furerkip has to say about people other than me before coming to a conclusion about where I think he's coming from. Obviously my view is skewed of him right now because his only act in the game has been attacking me.




What does everyone else think about furerkip? His stance on my claim is a pretty good one to discuss, what are your thoughts on his interpretation of my claim?


I point out both why I'm suspicious of Furerkip and also why I could be mistaken about my read. I'm conflicted, because I'm suspicious, but I feel he could be town, so I employ town to look for me and give me the "second opinion" I desire.

The responses were almost unanimously in favor of "newb-town" because of how aggressively he attacks me and how anti-town his posting is.

However, the first point about his aggressiveness is null because not only does he backpedal before he leaves (in spite of leaving his vote on me) in this post:

Over the years, you've gone by a number of different names. Al Capone, Dick Cheney, Julius Caesar, Elmo, and Martha Stewart all come to mind. Now, however, you want to just retire. In order to do so, though, you must first kill everyone who is not part of your family, because you are highly allergic to non-related people. They make you sick. At your disposal is your uncanny ability to appear as anything you wish. As such you can choose to appear "innocent" to all investigations, if you so wish. By night one you must decide whether you want to mask yourself to investigations. You may also communicate privately with your family member(s) name(s) here in any manner you wish. A QT has been provided at (link here) for your convenience.

blahblahblah standard scum fluff here you win when you outnumber town your teammates are here and you have a QT here, you may target one person per night, causing them to display the opposite alignment to any cops who choose to investigate them for that night only. You may not target yourself.

+ Show Spoiler [possible role PM] +
You crazy. And probably illiterate. You like feet.

Since it doesn't matter what I tell you, just kill everything. You win if you live and no one else does.

You can choose to appear innocent to all checks or have the ability to survive one KP once. You can kill one person every night, but you don't have to.


That didn't make any sense, Serial Killers and Godfathers choose to be innocent; if he's a mafia he'll be framer or goon.

Lynching townies is game ending on lynch or lose situations. Lynching bad townies on ML is actually okay in my experience. Makes for better 3-way lynches.

As for the framer part, you have a good point.

Anyways, it seems no one agrees with me, which makes me feel like I'm tunneling, but my FoS is still VE. I'll leave it at that, and won't press it, until I see another scumslip from him.


...but he hasn't been back in the thread to continue his "brashly aggressive" style against anyone else in the game. Just parks his vote on me.

And the second point of how anti-town his motivation is - is based entirely upon the logical fallacy "too scummy to be scum". There's no such thing as too scummy to be scum.

For these reasons, I remain suspicious of Furerkip and anyone who has been pushing the notion that he's auto-town because of his responses deserves instant FoS, which happens to include Mr. Pandain.
