We don't, so all we can do is drive ourselves into a state of paranoia trying to metagame the people who know more than us. The best thing we can do is try to find the case where Milton being dead is beneficial to the scum. Look at his discussions, look at his thought process, look at other people's thought processes about him. Time to dive into the filters and start trying to piece things together, IMO. + Show Spoiler + On July 01 2012 09:30 JingleHell wrote: Milton calls Keirathi scummy.

It comes down to who you think is scum. The fact that you acknowledge that there is a decent case against him but you does not reflect well on your alignment. Here is why I'm voting Vivax over JingleHell: Vivax's play has been incredibly scummy, JingleHell's has not. It's that simple.

Keirathi, of course, was right in the thick of a lot of the hot points of that mess, and now he's trying to discuss policy when we're in a world of trouble numerically. Milton's other suspicion mentioned at one point... Bear in mind, even though yesterday went terribly, Milton was one of the few people really trying to consider the cases, and look at alternatives even after it started exploding. This isn't even a read, this is ONLY Milton's last couple of times saying someone looked scummy, which gives us a place to start looking. After the debacle, I'm going to be as methodical as possible to avoid a town loss because of another OMGUS shouting match. These are only highlights, please read filters and help with this, the last thing we want is for scum to poke and prod us into a horrid bandwagon. JingleHell, I feel like your second post is doing exactly what you cautioned against in your first post: metagaming the people who know more than us. Besides, I don't think Milton's point against keirathi holds any weight anymore, considering how Vivax flipped. Here's what got me considering that sidetrack. In retrospect, it feels like a rather obvious false trail. No contribution to the point he's bringing up, but it could easily be encouraged into tons and tons of finger pointing in every direction. Hell, it almost worked. On July 01 2012 09:13 Esspen wrote: I'm confused, why would mafia kill somebody we suspected of being mafia? Wtf? | ||

I just want to make this clear before I move on. The entire idea was because INFORMATION beats HUNCHES every time. If we do have a Cop, or a doc saves someone, or a Veteran gets shot, those are people WE CAN CLEAR. We CANNOT mislynch again. It is game over if we do. The odds are more favorable at 7 people than 8. Thats really all I'm going to say about it. If you can't see the merits of my proposal, then talking it to death is just wasting time. So, first things first: Lets take a look at the votes for the first 2 days: Day1: Votes for Hopeless1der TOWNIE: BioSC - Unconfirmed Release - Townie roflwaffles55 (Jingle) - Unconfirmed Esspen - Unconfirmed Votes for roflwaffles55 (Jingle) Unconfirmed: BassInSpace - Unconfirmed dNa - Unconfirmed Hopeless1der - Townie Votes for Release TOWNIE: JieXian - Unconfirmed Votes for AegonC (Milton) TOWNIE: Vivax - Townie Votes for Keirathi Unconfirmed: NrGmonk - Unconfirmed Day2: Votes for Vivax TOWNIE: JieXian - Unconfirmed JingleHell - Unconfirmed Miltonkram - Townie BioSC - Unconfirmed Esspen - Unconfirmed NrGmonk - Unconfirmed Votes for JingleHell Unconfirmed: BassInSpace - Unconfirmed Vivax - Townie dNa - Unconfirmed Keirathi - Unconfirmed The repeat votes on the mislynches go to BioSC, rofl/JingleHell, and Esspen. Turns out all of them were in Vivax's list, but I'm not really sure how much stock we can put into that. It does seem fishy that rofl/Jingle had a large number of votes both days, and got out of it with an Esspen vote change. However, Jingle has his vote on Esspen right now. Has the mafia decided to give up one of their own already? Or is it possible that Esspen is just playing badly and mafia sees a chance to railroad him? | ||

I'm not voting for Esspen based on some sort of scum ulterior motive, like you seem to be suggesting. My vote on Esspen comes from generally scummy behavior, and the fact that twice now, he's vote-switched at the last minute to set up the only living person I know is town. Granted, I can't prove my innocence in any foolproof way. The best I can do is ask that you please give a read on me that doesn't involve rofls, or Esspen, and treat those as "potential additional weight", rather than the basis for a case. I've already explained the best rationale I can think of for Esspen's switch. While I understand why I'm under scrutiny at this point, all I ask is that we have more reasoning behind any votes against me than there were supporting yesterdays catastrophe of an OMGUS. | ||

Keiraithi.. kei kei keirathiiiii... his list was made up of people who voted against him .. .... .... .. ... .... .. >_> 1 thing i don't understand. Why the hell are so many people using Vivax's list as a starting point? Just post proper reasonings. I already wrote so much on Esspen so I don't feel like regurgitating everything out again. | ||

By all means use Vivax's list as a guide (like every single post from everyone) but don't take it like it's the word of god. | ||

from the list: Bio (Release was fosing him before being shot) Esspen - obvious Jingle - obvious Keraithi (Milton was fosing him before being shot) Keraithi I don't like the many logical unsoundness in your posts one bit. However the evidence against Esspen is piling so high I can't pass that up for now. | ||

If he were townie and he said this, he would basically be breaking the rules of the game, which would be trying to win. Suiciding as townie is definitely not trying to win. Because evidence against Esspen is so damning, it would be foolish for even mafia to vote against Esspen, as that would be a clear scum tell. We should also not waste too much time arguing about Esspen and move onto other suspicious activity, deciding who is the next best person to lynch on the next day.

I was just using the list to advance my argument in my previous post. I don't mind that I'm implicated in the list, because there's been no other reason for anyone else to suspect me. The list is logcial, and I agree that according to that logic alone, I can't be narrowed down to "not mafia". I also think my contributions to town are enough for people to not suspect me. | ||

Well, I didn't feel the need to respond directly to your analysis, and I didn't want to spam it out of existence, because it makes a lot of sense.

Does he have the most compelling case against him? Certainly. Does that make it a concrete case? Definitely not. Think about our judicial system. Everything you quoted is circumstantial evidence. Its probably enough to convince a jury of our peers of the defendants guilt, but it is very much not guaranteed. Think about it like this: if you assume that he is mafia, then those quotes can easily feel like indicators of that. But what if you assume he is town? Now, I agree that he probably still has the strongest individual case against him. But it is NOT concrete. But, our only hope for concrete evidence at this point are credible blue role claims, and the slim chance that they actually have useful information. And claiming them during the day today would just be suicide, hence my whole no-lynch policy. | ||
