I trust BillMurray in his case against VisceraEyes and acrofales.

Why? I looked through VE's filter and didn't like it, then saw acrofales jumping in with this to try and defend him:


However, with all the pre-game "policy lynch VE" stuff going on (it was fun, but lets not take that shit seriously), I think scum could be pushing a VE lynch based on shitty evidence like this.


That self-vote stunt wasn't shitty evidence. It was probably planned in egocentrical way by a scum player. I can understand if someone placed his vote on somebody else for no apparent reason, since that will immediately force someone to defend himself (or he can try and make it look like he's lurking).

I don't see how a self-vote would create a good atmoshpere for town. It might all be for shits and giggles pre-game, but ingame it just might be an exaggerated attempt to act like an overconfident townie and just causes confusion.

Also, Acrofales, I find you to be scummy by finding a reason to jump out of cover and defend someone, but finding no reason to make own cases and post reads.
It helps me imagine the option of you trying to cover the scumbuddy who has the role of acting as an overzealous townie.
And when I say overzealous, I don't speak about the value of his posts, but of the sheer amount.
____
I didn't like BKE's post until I saw him mentioning the the lynched guy he used to justify his policy lynch discussion about being careful with newbs, that's enough for me as proof that his policy talk was in town's interest and not just some attempt to start a never ending policy discussion. I still cannot be sure of him being townie on the long term, but for now it's enough.

If you asked me who I would vote for right now, then it would be either VE or acrofales.

Shiao, maybe that vote was weak for the case to start, but the follow up matters too, just cause a case starts based on a weak claim doesn't mean that the information obtained from the reactions is useless.

VE, can you enlighten me on this one?

You are very consistent in your case against BKE. On the other hand it's a way of looking townie without having to post more information regarding other players.

You have been asking people THREE times for opinions regarding BKE, I gave you mine. If you can't find your three questions 'what do you think of BKE?' then I will gladly post the links to your posts.

To make it short:

VE, why would you support a bandwagon on BM without posting the reasons for it?

I think self-voting and posting lots of short, pretty contentless posts from the beginning on might be one of the safest options for scum to look townie, then he started a case against Broodking based on this:

I want to start out discussing newbies. How are we as a town going to deal with players that are not as strong (as we do have a couple in the game)? Personally I think that these players need to be examined for the intent of their posts more than the evidence that they provide. Newbies still need to figure out what types of evidence are valid for examining a person, and we need to look at whether they are trying to draw out info from nothing or if there was actually a scummy read behind it. In the last few games I have played newbies have been lynched from poor evidence when they in fact were legitimately trying to help the town. I want everyone to take this in mind as we deal with newbies.


.......I'm kinda having a hard time accepting that you don't have an agenda considering all these factors.

The case against BKE also started based on a weak claim. How the hell is one supposed to have an agenda when he's taling about policy? Should BKE have posted all lurkers and newbies or what did you expect him to do, VE?

Even if you regarded VE's actions as bad, that does not make acrofales his scumbuddy. Scumbuddies often soft defend, but acrofales did an out and out defense of VE; this does not point to any significant connection between them.


I took into consideration that he defended but didn't post any cases of his own. I'm not criticizing him for doing A, I'm criticizing him for doing A but not doing B like a townie would do.

However, acrofales responded to my post already and justified his lack of cases with his sleep rhythm. Fine for me, I would be a jerk for not giving him that BOTD.

I don't know about this game, but in one of the games I played as scum, mafia got a mail with the VT role pm they could use to fake claim VT. That might have been NoSmurfHere actually using that information in his favor immediately.

Can we know if mafia got a VT role pm?

You don't really want me to argue with you about a definition of a noob townie, do you? I believe s0lstice to be a good player, I was in 1 or 2 games with him. I also believe you to be a good player. And that is the whole definition of noob i can give to you, since it's subjective, don't base your claim on something subjective please.

I don't know about casualman, but posting that by him is incredibly cocky. He deserves to be killed whether he's town or not, we don't need townies acting like that, they facilitate work for scum by not playing to win.

I would also advise town to wonder why acrofales made his first case against the guy suspecting the person he defended just before.

My first case was on BM
My second case was on BKE
My third case is on you

How hard is it to click on my filter and actually read it instead of posting drivel?!


I was about to post something regarding this, but I'd prefer other townies to look at the cases you use to back yourself up since I'm tired. I've made a mistake by saying the case against me was the first one, that comes from posting this much.

But I believe your cases on these people to be really weak, and am currently hoping that more notice that. Your case on BKE used the same arguments ShiaoPi used, which largely depend on the definition of noob.

What I found interesting about laya's post you just quoted was the fact that he seems okay with lynching BKE, but neglects to put a vote on him as well....plus, there's ALREADY a bandwagon on BKE, so his lynch obviously has more support....so why would he rather kill Kurumi?

Now, I'm okay with both a BKE lynch AND a BM lynch at this point...but I'm about to go reread the thread.

Rearranging that post got it a bit mangled


Why exactly do you prefer a BM lynch over a BKE lynch?

Also, I'm still waiting for VE's response to my questions, as any townie should, they are short and should be easy to answer if he was townie.
Not sure if he's evading them or just afk. But he already skipped them once.

Katina has one post.

'agrees' with a post. Nothing of her own. No need to take responsibility for the case if it fails.

There's actually something about katina that makes me doubt about the scumminess now that I saw it in the voting thread: he/she was the first to post a vote against BKE, even before the guys who made the case against him. I don't think that mafia would be the first to vote for someone when there are just FoS out yet.

We can't call katina bandwagony with that vote.

I'll drop my own cases...for now, for the purpose of getting a lynch I rather believe to be good instead of the BKE lynch.
Gonna repeat the unanswered questions to VE after day1, I'm not gonna stop until you spit it out, dude.

I think ET proposed some interesting alternatives. The Kenpachi rule deserves some discussion imo, cause it can also be subject to mistakes/manipulation from scum knowing that it will be applied.

If scum posts the role pms VT rolename, then there will be only one group of players that can answer in disbelief/discomfort to that:

Blues.

Using the kenpachi rule is a double edged-sword with a much sharper edge on the side designed to kill townies.

In regards of this specific case about mKmK:

I fear lynching him for the possibility that he's just a blue role trying to keep his head low.
That said, I think ET should not jump on him so easily based on a policy formed through previous games.

Mandalor caught my eye now. His posting style rings scum to me.
Tell me more, friend.

Ok, ET. Looks like I'll have to do the talk for you: "Why the hell is Vivax using that argument when I've already posted 2 others for a scum mK being an option?Does he want to say that the policy is the only reason I'm doing that?"

1. The scum claim you adressed.

I guess with it you meant that he says VE used good arguments against BKE, but then considers him to be scummy for one line of text than really says nothing about VE's alignment.
Then he suspects kurumi for 'mafiavibes', that's all.

I agree that his arguments are terrible and contain zero information. From this point of view he's actually scummy or bad townie.

2. His low activity after that post

I don't know how experienced it is, but that behavior would also fit a blue role.
That would also be the argument made by you I consider to not be decisive, yet you treat this as a strong argument against him.

3. His wishywashy post regarding the VT roleclaim.

A blue role could react like that, too.
___________________________________________

I'm kind of changing my opinion regarding him after writing this. Mainly because of point 1 .I still think that point 2 and 3 wouldn't be enough for me to vote for him. But 1 is a good argument to vote for him.

Sorry if I don't have as much faith in the kenpachi rule as you do, but I didn't see it successfully in action through multiple games, and I also see the downsides.

ET, don't you think that a scum mK would also imply a scum BKE?

Since mK started by suspecting VE, I guess he might have been trying to cover BKE with it while not explicitly saying that BKE might be town.

My other question concerns your reasons for suspecting BKE.

Regarding BillMurray:

Your reason for suspecting him is that you think that he tried to start a bandwagon on you.

He called you out cause of your selfvote, and so did I.
You never defended yourself for your weird self-vote, others defended you instead, like acrofales with this lolpost:

I disagree. A selfvote at this point is completely null: it's the start of D1 when votes mean nothing, and who the hell knows why VE does what he does anyway?

However, with all the pre-game "policy lynch VE" stuff going on (it was fun, but lets not take that shit seriously), I think scum could be pushing a VE lynch based on shitty evidence like this.

##vote BillMurray


Doesn't look like acrofales has any interest whatsoever in even considering a scum VE, and his next post:

Lol. Nice OMGUS. So let me follow your thought process.

1. VE is scum because he voted for himself, which only scum would do to look townie.
2. I call the reason dumb (which I guess could conceivably be seen as a defense of VE, but was more an attack on you. I am still pretty null on VE).
3. Instead of backing up your reason for voting VE with some actual evidence, you OMGUS and conclude that VE and I must be scum together.

Do I really need to point out the multiple logic fails in here?


Here acrofales says that
1. he doesn't believe that selfvote to be scummy.
2. doesn't want to look like he's defending VE and emphasizes that he doesn't have an opinion regarding him.
3. Goes so far to say that the self-vote can't be used as evidence for anything and that BM's case is OMGUS.

Then VE doesn't explain the self-vote and tries to discredit BM with this:
