Imagine you are a JK who just jked say scummy player X and there was no NK. You probably suspect that X is scum and u blocked his kill, and this will be amplified especially if X doesnt claim the rb as it would show that he has something to hide. Well claiming the RB makes X look a *little* better. Oh, I hadn't thought about that. So in this case, a JK JKed Hyaach, who was delivering the NK, and Hyaach HAS to claim it, since as scum, he knows it was a town JK that JKed him. If he doesn't claim it, he's obviously scum hiding it. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=341663¤tpage=9#177 On June 06 2012 11:19 Blazinghand wrote: there's like no way that's a legit claim Because as soon as I made it, I realized I'd soft-claimed Vigi. This is a huge mistake. I needed to backpedal. If I immediately pushed Pandain it'd be clear to scum that I was the real Vigi and I'd get RBed + Shot N1. On June 06 2012 11:23 Blazinghand wrote: Alright, if we believe Pandain's claim, then why don't we follow up with my course of action: We lynch MrZ (or maybe Navi if he seems scummier). If MrZ flips town, sure, shoot me. But I think he's gonna flip scum. "Oh Blazinghand what's with this point" At this point, I still thought MrZ was scum. I figured we could just lynch him, and I'd shoot Pandain, with my bullet, overnight. I knew Pandain was scum because he couldn't also be a vigi. When a vigi fake-claims, as a real vigi it's pretty standard to just shoot him to prove you're the real vigi, this was my initial plan until I got some support for the Pandain lynch. Like, you're all wondering why I stepped a bit lightly around Pandain. The reason is: you'd do the same if you're a vigi confronting a fake-vigi-claiming scum. | ||

On June 08 2012 22:02 ghost_403 wrote: I don't buy Blazinghand's claim. Compare and contrast the Blazinghand from this game with the blazinghand from TL Mafia LIV. In LIV, he actually was a vigilante, and he was the aggressive protown blazinghand I've seen in most of his games. His first post in that game is voting someone for a scumslip. This is completely different from his play here. That modkill happened in TLM LIII. Last I checked, LIII < LIV. Are you kidding me? You're misleading the town. I wasn't a Vigilante in that game, I was a Mad Hatter. I was TRYING to draw mafia attention. Getting shot was my #1 goal, and I carried it out. I didn't care if I was RBed, and I *wanted* to be shot. That's like the opposite of what you try to do N1 as a vigi (though I guess getting shot is ok)-- you need to avoid getting RBed or claiming vigi. Like, wow, way to misrepresent me. In fact, I can't imagine you somehow "mixed up" Mad Hatter and Vigi or failed to understand the consequences of the FUNDAMENTAL difference between a role that WANTS to die and a role that needs to dodge RB. You're clearly scum trying to get on my wagon with "original research" so you look legit. Explain yourself. ##unvote ##vote: Ghost_403 Or die. | ||

Well yeah, from your perspective, sure, it's not soft-claiming. But you're not worried about a soft-claim cause you're not a vigi. If you're a vigi, you worry about these things more. Something that might seem innocuous if said by a townie seems weird after you've posted it. It's a matter of perspective. On June 09 2012 10:29 zelblade wrote: Hey so bh why has your posting style changed so much? Also I wouldn't mind lynching mrz but I want to get this hyaach bh shit settled today. Man I don't get where people are saying there's some massive shift in my posting style. I'm trying to hunt scum, some guy claimed my role, and it's a situation I hadn't been in before. Naturally, I was more cautious, as I explained before. I didn't want to roleclaim to deal with it. Look I think today we should focus on lynching Hyaach. I don't like MrZ and I don't like Furerkip but Hyaach is supremely unlikely to be town given what happened overnight. | ||

On June 09 2012 13:39 Hyaach wrote: What do you mean by off? Where's the explanation? Can you stick to a stance? You are floating along with the wind. Why so wish washy. It's also worth noting that Zelblade still has his vote on Furerkip. Zelblade, if you're really town you're wasting your vote by putting it on Furerkip. It's super super clear that hyaach or me is gonna get lynched today. Furerkip will either get modkilled for not voting, or if he ninja votes and is alive tomorrow, lynched tomorrow. By not helping out your townread out of the two of us, what do you really hope to accomplish? Navillus, you haven't voted yet either. Read my filter. Read hyaach's filter. It seems pretty clear my play has been different this game, but Pandain really threw me for a loop. I did what I could in the circumstances, to get scum lynched, and I'd do it again (though maybe not to Pandain, given that he will do shit like this as a VT). I think you know I'm town, and if so, you should vote to lynch hyaach. As it stands, Hyaach and I each have 4 votes. Hyaach has stated he'll do whatever it takes to stay alive, and no doubt this includes placing his vote on me. I'm dead at nightfall unless at least 1 or 2 of VE, Ghost, Artanis, Katina, or one of the neutral voters (Navi or Zel) swing my way. If you're the RBer or JKer, don't claim. It's not worth saving me to throw your life away. Hyaach will be lynched (maybe even ahead of Furerkip) after I flip. The case against me is almost entirely meta. In fact, the only other time I was mislynched (link) it was also due to a case based in large part on my not playing to my "meta". This sort of case is profoundly difficult to argue against, because most people play a little different every game. My play is admittedly less abrasive than it has been historically, but it's following a trendline of abrasiveness. check it out: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vYNMi.png) This exact case could have been made against me literally every game following my ban, in both LIV and LV, as I toned down and refined my play. Believe it or not, getting known as an aggressively but ultimately unhelpful player is NOT my goal on TL. And I don't view the evolution of my meta as bad in any way. Am I punching people with my posts this game? No. Is that bad? I don't think so. Did Pandain flip town? Yes. But he fake-claimed vig as a VT. I did what I thought was right. I don't want to be mislynched. I'd rather we just lynch Hyaach, scum, and thereby have an extra mislynch on the table. I get the feeling we're going to be okay this game even if we lynch me, but I'd rather that not happen. And I guess the real question to ask yourself is: until this RB question came up, you probably thought Hyaach was scum and I was town, right? Yeah, there were some weird night actions last night, but if I'm not scum, the only possibility is that scum shot Hyaach last night. Is that what you're saying? What sounds more plausible, that scum shot me, or that scum shot Hyaach, given what they knew N1? Look at what hyaach's filter looked like N1. Think about it. I can't fight the meta case very well, but I *can* show you guys how unreasonable night actions had to be for Hyaach to be town. THINK ABOUT IT. You know it's unreasonable. Vote Hyaach. Don't mislynch today. | ||

Think about what that means. look at where Hyaach's filter was like N1. Would Mafia even perceive that kind of player as RBable or Shootable, especially with all the crap he was getting? Come on guys. See past the meta case and realize how unreasonable it is to vote me. | ||

Its about him failing to pressure Pandain after the fake claim and going up with MrZ Why bother to argue about game mechanics and balance like Mason claiming and what does the bold post shows again? His saving crumbs for a possible fake mason claim as well? Oh, of course, IT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE FOR SCUM TO FAKE A MASON CLAIM. Yeah. Clearly. That doesn't even look like a crumb for a mason claim. What the dicks are you talking about? Like, I don't even know how to argue with this. It's like I'm arguing that a certain belief is epistemologically sound and my opponent is just shouting "grail" at the top of his lungs with no context or explanation as though that's an argument. | ||

On June 09 2012 16:35 Hyaach wrote: its far fetched but not entirely impossible. Framer + GF mason. Caps lock won't help you. Given the fake claim by Pandain and the shady claim by you. I wouldn't be surprise if you also considered doing this. Putting stuff in bold and [bigbigbig] wont' help you either. I don't see how Pandain fake claiming makes it more likely that 2 scum would claim mason. Also, like, if you think that was a legitimate mason crumb, 2 things: 1) on a scumteam with a GF and a Framer do you think there's also an RB? 2) on a scumteam with a GF and a Framer would either of them be deliving NKs? oh and another thing: if you really believe your own idea about me setting up to fakeclaim mason, then the other scum player I was gonna fakeclaim it with should have fake-crumbed as well! instead of making weird arguments, go find it and prove yourself right. | ||

Not letting me use my night action completely shut down my chances of proving town-ness next day. sounds like a good plan to prepare someone for lynching. How on earth would scum think you have a night action? And typically it's smart scum play to RB the same guy that is shot, that way the RB isn't revealed. | ||
