JieXian isn't one of my suspects either. I don't like his general style but I highly doubt him to be scum.
I am inclined to believe BassInSpace to be townie. But he apologizes a lot for time zone differences. I don't know your rhythm and cannot estimate the time available to you for real.
Many of his posts seem to be on-the-go, some have craploads of mistakes in them. I don't believe mafia would post carelessly like that.
That said, I'll give you my list of potential mafia to be used in case I get lynched:
Miltonkram, JingleHell, Esspen, Keirathi, NrGMonk

Here's my problem with esspen. We can all agree he has been posting... sub-optimally.So much so that most of us have voted or FOS'd him at some point in the game but were never quite sure because of how blatantly weird/anti-town his posts have been. However, the bolded section of this post by dNa got me thinking:

Offering to take the lynch in order to confirm that your reads are made in good faith isn't a move most scum would think of IMO. If the assumptions I've made on our scumteam are wrong, then I'll rethink taking Esspen up on his offer. I've got to take a rather long trip, my case on BioSC will have to wait for a little while. I'm feeling pretty good about this game ![](/mirror/smilies/smile.gif) I really enjoy where you put out all the reasoning behind my vote and just quoted the one thing that does not 100% point into esspen's direction, although part of it does. really great manipulation in this post, i'll give you that. to your points against vivax i'm only seeing alot of "metagaming" on your end, no actual tells in this game. in regards to your points about Esspen i agree, this is one thing not many scum players would have done... then again maybe he saw that after the history he has gotten in this channel, he has lost his value as a scum asset and therefore - after consolidating with his teammates, decided to make this move to: 1. appear not scummy for once 2. increase the amount of attention in regards to Vivax's case.
If indeed esspen is scum (and is now seen as a liability to his team) and vivax is town, he could very well just be adding another vote to vivax to force the lynch, not caring that he will be up next if the flip reveals vivax is town, hence his fearlessness in saying that we should lynch him should vivax flip town to give himself town cred (what do you think of this Miltonkram? This was your soft defense of him after all). Even though I've switched to pressuring Vivax now, I'm still very suspicious of esspen; I feel that my original case against him from a few days ago is still valid, and what I've discussed here doesn't help improve my opinion of him. However...
Vivax, as it is, I cannot change my vote from you, because I haven't read your secret defense post. Again, I sincerely did want to, because I did agree with you that it was hard not to target lurkers considering that amount of activity in the thread at that point. It was that post I highlighted in my case (where you said you thought you were the most towny and therefore most likely to be shot) and your choice in exactly which lurkers to target that pushed me to making a case on you. I will try to get online before the deadline to read it, and if it is convincing enough, change my vote accordingly.
|
At the very least, I am pleased with the activity this has generated. On top of my suspicion, part of the reasoning for my posting an actual case was so we could get discussion on something other than esspen and lurkers. Btw Vivax, when you say my posts have "craploads of mistakes in them" I hope you are talking about the typos rather than the actual content... If so, let's just say I'm not a fan of the Android system's autocorrect function. I do apologise about that though, and the sometimes brief/quick posts when I'm rushing. I normally post the meatier stuff around this time (my night) if you haven't noticed, so this is usually when I can really delve into things. That being said, I have a party tomorrow night, so I won't be as active. Also, I forgot to actually

That defense of Esspen isn't a defense at all imo, everyone knows both of them are on the chopping block either way. However if Esspen is scum you won't be feeling good about yourself. So I'm not linking both of you together as scum. Rather I see it as a pretentious defense of Esspen for townie cred since he's probably going to die anyways and you would know that he's townie.If both Vivax and Esspen flip townie I'm going to hunt for Milton. (Unless of course either Bio or Dna flip scum) ok I'm quite worried about dying now so IF I GET SHOT TONIGHT FUCKIGN HUNT MILTON DOWN If I'm wrong and I know it's a long shot with a lot of ifs, Milton sorry for being crazy. If either 3 of them from your list flip scum you're gonna get some townie cred from me.
This is another take regarding esspen that I had considered earlier. That nagging feeling that in fact esspen is town and we're all being played by mafia. However, JieXian, I disagree with you holding Miltonkram's confidence against him. Him saying that he feels "pretty good about the game" is a rather trivial remark. I think we both agree that his soft defense of esspen may warrant further discussion though, but that is for another day I think.

Well, read the secret then, I don't even have to play with unrevealed cards cause I am going to die anyway:

Now decide if you would rather take the risk of lynching me or the guy who initiated all this bandwagon on me.
It's sad however that noone suspected him besides me.

Damn it, I suspected you were the DT. Your playstyle kind of reminded me of my own when I played DT in my first game, but I couldn't be sure. Because of this, I'm willing to take the chance and take you on your word that you are in fact the DT. I'm not too sure about your decision to roleclaim, since I don't think your lynch is set in stone and you could've breadcrumbed as insurance, but I understand it's hard given that 2 of the votes on you were in different time zones and may not have been changed.

Ok I trust your decision since you were correct about Release. It's still nothing but a BOTD or a light FOS for now since Milton's new and we'll have to wait for more tells if they come.

It's sad that it's really hard for me to give you the BOTD to avoid another mislynch. Please post clear arguements that we can understand and not bloody hints like it's a treasure hunt.

So a false roleclaim and a false accusation is your "perfect" proof? Again, an effort to contravene the weight of evidence based on trying to force a reaction.
I suppose, Vivax, that on night 1, you checked every single individual who was going to make a case against you today, and everyone is scum, right?
Tell me, out of your "scumlist" you posted earlier, of Miltonkram, JingleHell, Esspen, Keirathi, NrGMonk listed in that order, why would you not have listed or weighted the names differently? Why would you discuss lynching for information that you already have and aren't uncomfortable giving out with a roleclaim?
Something doesn't add up here, so I'm going to accuse you of a false roleclaim to get your head off the chopping block.

You prefer a Keirathi lynch over someone you claim to KNOW is scum? Intriguing. This is all sounding increasingly desperate.

I don't know what you don't understand, but let me take a stab at guessing. I'm saying it might have been preferable for him to breadcrumb INSTEAD of straight out roleclaiming, on the chance that he doesn't get lynched, so that our DT stays hidden.

There isl no chance he's detective, I'm ready to bet on my kidney. Why would he be accusing all the people he accused if he could focus on the one he knew to be the scum and make a good case on him. This seems like a very sad fake roleclaim.

Jinglehell, the DT is meant to play like a normal town player. He is allowed to have a scumlist, based on relationships he believes exists between players. It can be argued that a relationship exists between Miltonkram, Esspen and yourself, for instance. He doesn't need to check a person before making a case against them. People would then be asking why he is so slow to make cases or confirm his position, and could make others supicious of his true role. Also, the way he formatted the list is something that is trivial at best IMO.
Esspen, same points apply to you. He is allowed to accuse more than one person even though he has a positive check on one. His decision to vote keirathi is strange, I'll admit, and hopefully he can explain it before I sleep. However, I'm still leaving my vote on you jinglehell.

I suppose, Vivax, that on night 1, you checked every single individual who was going to make a case against you today, and everyone is scum, right?
Lol what. I can only check one, and you know it. Also,there was no case against me on night 1. The cases started when I unfolded my suspect list, just that I wasn't sure of Esspen cause he covered you with his vote in the last minute, so I tried to breadcrumb it in a way that town would lynch one of you.
Keirathi was simply the next one to suspect. There are still 2 other mafia besides you, and 4 people left to choose them from my list.
Your behavior proves that you are scum, too.
Something doesn't add up here, so I'm going to accuse you of a false roleclaim to get your head off the chopping block.
If you knew you were townie, you could just stay cool now, since no matter who of us dies today, the other will die too the next day. That's a situation with a guaranteed -1 scum.

Actually, the cases started BEFORE you unfolded your "suspect list", and I believe they helped shape it, as it's been changing constantly since.
I'm unsure how posting evidence (what I've done) is supposed to make me scum, compared to someone who's entire case is a (fake) roleclaim and a rather weak attempt at bullying the vote.
You aren't answering why you were more interested in lynching Keirathi than me until recently, when you theoretically knew I was scum, and only really had him for lurking. I wouldn't buy that with a coupon and someone else's money.
