So, does anyone besides me even want to make suggestions? Should we go in alphabetical order until someone actually posts?

If that's the case, Anacletus, explain your actions! You've been inconsistent, claiming a role that isn't in the game, without knowing what it is or if one is in the game!

Why would you false roleclaim? Why does your name look like Analfetus? The FoS shall rest upon YOU for now, until people decide to actually post!


Bah, you always know how to hit me where it hurts! I regrettably admit to taking a rusted bike chain and strangling the sheriff. But if there's one thing that I didn't do, I didn't shoot the god damn deputy.


See, that's the sort of thing that makes me wonder more seriously. You could easily be trying to pre-establish an alibi for any scum behavior. You let me take the lead, but when I started pushing for participation, you jumped in with a weak suggestion, and now this. It's obviously rather weak as far as tells go, but it's more than I have on any of the people who aren't posting.

And Myles, what could I possibly be distracting from at this point? I'm the only one wanting to find these scum and get rid of them. Anacletus suggested we just start hunting, so I started hunting. If you want to contribute, maybe you should chime in on policy, or announce yourself, or do basically anything besides a low content post that won't help the situation.


JingleHell makes some extremely valid points.

Myles, why are you suddenly trying to defend me? Are you trying to set up and alibi for yourself for if I get killed and turn town?

Not really defending you, just wondering why he's taking such a lead when we have nothing to go on. Starting a witch hunt is only going to get innocent people killed me thinks. Also, when did you suggest we start hunting?

How do you witch hunt in way that flushes out the actual scum? I think we need to be a little more deliberate here.

This is a semi-open setup. You will know which roles may appear in the game but not the number. Well, there is at least one vanilla townie. But that's all you know.

When I interpret to mean that there can be more than one Heyoka or Complete Asshole and that there might be multiple roles not filled, am I correct?

I think getting people to talk is a good idea, and if a witch hunt is the only way to that than so be it. And I don't really have a better idea, so witch hunt it is I guess.

I guess you can call trying to be a little more selective than randomly picking people to start accusing is promoting inactivity, but I was trying to be a little more prudent. The game started 2 hours ago so it seems a bit early to start accusing people.

Considering this is my first game, I hadn't put any thought into the idea that JH and Anacletus working together to create misinformation. Though, one of my first instincts when JH took the lead, but didn't really send us in any particular direction other than witch hunts and suggested we not take a very defined course of action, was that it seemed like he was trying to look like he was contributing without really doing so.

I see Anacletus in a similar vein. That 6 out of his first 7 posts were jokes threw up red flags for me, and though his latest posts have been relevant and worthwhile for the most part, I'm still a bit leery.

As for lurkers, Monk has posted twice, once to defend himself from JH random accusations. BobTheLob has posted twice, neither time saying too much. Blind-Rawr hasn't posted much either, but his posts have been pretty good. Besides that, everyone else has been pretty active.

Now back to work.

Sarcasm really doesn't work over the interwebs -_- Even as newbie, I thought it was obvious it's nearly impossible to have 3 pages of notes on people when the game had only been open for a couple hours.

Anyway, I think Anacletus is still suspicious. Despite that, I'm not ready to vote for him yet because I don't think starting off non-serious is that scummy considering there was pretty much nothing to go on, and we still have over a day before night falls. I'd would like to hear some more from him, though.

And Fencer, I don't think you're making yourself look very good either.

Umlaut, I don't understand how you could consider me inactive with non-contributing posts. I was one of the first people to question Anecletus for being so non-serious and have 10 posts, which is only a couple less than you; and while they're not essays on meta analysis, I think they do provide some insight into how people are acting.

Either way, I've been just as active and contributive as most. If you want inactive/non-contributing look at Monk and BobTheLob. They have 5 and 3 posts, respectively. Actually, the fact that BobTheLob has posted almost nothing, and has posted none of his own thoughts, but hoped on the bandwagon of Anacletus is kind of surprising to have not risen red flags.

As far as why I stated I'm leaning towards Fencer, it's because nearly his entire post history has been useless. He's done a whole lot of talking about nothing while Anecletus at least contributed a little bit. They top my list as people who could be mafia, but if Bob doesn't speak up I might put him up there, too.

My read on Anacletus isn't changed at this point, though; I still think he's got a good chance of flipping scum. I'm a bit concerned that there might be too many players who will be inactive between now and the lynch, in which case I'll be switching my vote back to Anacletus to prevent a no-lynch.

Nearly all of my posts have been about policy or reads, or a question about policy. I still don't see how the are non-contributing. I still wonder why Bob is flying so low below the radar when he's posted nothing expect to bandwagon on Anacletusm, which everyone seemed to ignore.

OK, considering we have just over 3 hours left, I'm going to cast my vote for Anacletus. After barely contributing, then barely defending himself, he's pretty much disappeared completely. While not the most damning of evidence, it certainly seems scummy to me since a good way to draw attention from yourself is to lay low and let other people take heat - you know, out of sight out of mind.

Fencer is suspicious, but after looking through all his posts some more, seems more newbish than scum. I'm certainly not going to turn a blind eye, but I'll give him the BotD for now.

And despite other people not seeming to care, BobTheLob is quite suspicious to me. Lurker extraordinaire and his last post doesn't elicit much confidence imo.

What is your opinion on JH's read on hopeless1der? Why do you feel that Anacletus is a scummier read?

I was suspicious of JH at first because of the seemingly chaotic way he accusing people deciding policy, but I agree now that it was just to get people talking so we could go somewhere rather than seriously accusing people.

Hopeless seems like he's trying to make the best decision with the information we have. I agree that lynching just for information is bad if we have nothing else to go on, but given that we have a couple suspects, we should definitely be lynching one of them since relying on scum to slip up and make it obvious seems very unlikely at this point.

It's also irrelevant.

And I realize there's little someone can say to defend themselves in situations like these, but disappearing for nearly a full day when the FoS is on you doesn't seem to add up. You've given one read on JH, everything else you said was general observations on early mafia games. And your post about people not voting thinking your town doesn't make sense either. If the non-voters were mafia(thus knowing you're town) they would hop on the bandwagon since it was already going strong, and thus not be more suspicious then anyone else.

Perhaps we should contemplate who looks shady now, in light of the new information.

I think we should save discussion for morning. Posting our thoughts during the night just gives the PBUs more information to consider when picking their night hit.

Because of what this guy wrote.

Well then I guess I'll post my thoughts.

First I think we should look at bandwagoners. I’m sure I’m under suspicion, or more so than before since I got the eye from some posters, for being part of the lynching, but I hope I explained my position enough that I get some BotD. A number of other people barely explained themselves at all before voting.

Blind-rawr hopped on the bandwagon without much discussion and voted pretty early, but his subsequent posts explained his position.
Intact did pretty much the same, just with a fewer number of posts.
Fencer is tied at the top for most suspicions now imo. His overall behavior, combined with his hopping on the bandwagon really early, hopping off when he got some attention, then hopping back on seems really scummy.
BobTheLob is right there with him. Lurker who used the same arguments as Fencer, hopped on the bandwagon with no reasoning, and the few posts he has made contributed nothing.

The others who voted for Anacletus seem like they had a reasonable position. And while I can’t say we know for sure that those who didn’t vote for him are town, I think it’s really likely because the FoS went so quickly on Anacletus . He didn’t do much to convince us of his innocence, so if they were PBUs it’d be some serious metagaming to start backing off and potentially drawing attention when there was so much support.

When the vote was secured on a townie, or close to it, why WOULD scum be voting on Anacletus? Maybe some did, but certainly not all of them.

In fact, given your general level of suspicious behavior, the fact that you tried to get people to stop posting at night while Hopeless was under the radar, and your conspicuous lack of discussion on my read of Hopeless, I'm really starting to think you're scummy.

And since you pointed at Fencer as top on suspicion, I'm dropping him to a notch below Hopeless on my Scum-o-meter.

I think the scum would keep on Anecletus to not draw attention to themselves and keep the heat on him. I would agree that is possible one didn't vote for him, I just don't just have a heavy scum read on any of you.

I talked about your read of Hopeless when AmericanUmlaut asked me about it, and AmericanUmlaut suggested we not post at night and I thought his reasoning was valid.

Well, you're reasoning of hopeless being suspicious because his voting someone else after Anacletus was all but secured is something I don't agree with. I don't think that's much to go one because Fencer revealed himself to be pretty scummy with his spammy offtopic posts and haphazard voting. I mean, you basically did the same thing by putting an early FoS on Anacletus then changing to focus once other people jumped in. I don't think something like that is very damning.

When JH did it there was no discussion and he was trying to start it, I disagree with his methods but not his goals.

I know, and I agreed with that before. It was a valid reason to change focus and I think hopeless read on Fencer was as well.

If you're only going to answer the smallest part of the reasoning, in defense of another person, you're not going to help your own case. This post is clutter at best, and incredibly scummy at worst.

I thought that was your reasoning. Going back I see the original contention was about a mislynch vs no lynch, which I think given no information a no lynch is better, but I thought it we had a couple reasonable suspects so it wasn't really an issue. There was also the math thing, but that didn't seem too important since deduction can reveal a lot of info. In the end, I just think that Fencer and Bob are way scummier given they haven't tried to help the town at all - one by posting a lot of useless stuff and the other by barely posting at all.

I've already made it clear how I feel about claiming newbie in a newb game, I won't say more on that subject. You'll see in the above post two soft defenses of town players (JH and Anacletus), I don't trust a soft defense it is too easy for mafia to completely ignore the player being looked at and instead talk about something different when the player flips green (which mafia obviously knows they will) the soft defender looks fine since he had nothing to do with killing a townie.

That was 6 hours into the game and it seemed revelent. As for a soft defense, again, it was early so I was going on little information, which was mixed.

really threw me for a loop since up to this point at least half of Myles posts have been about silly things like set-up and jokes, why claim something that just isn;t true? Maybe he was hoping that no one would read his filter? Well I'm hoping that you will since that is what we need to do to build cases and find scum.

Half of my posts have been set up and jokes? Maybe I'm misunderstanding set up, but at that point here's my posts I would on the topic of policy/suspicion

If that's the case, Anacletus, explain your actions! You've been inconsistent, claiming a role that isn't in the game, without knowing what it is or if one is in the game!

Why would you false roleclaim? Why does your name look like Analfetus? The FoS shall rest upon YOU for now, until people decide to actually post!


Bah, you always know how to hit me where it hurts! I regrettably admit to taking a rusted bike chain and strangling the sheriff. But if there's one thing that I didn't do, I didn't shoot the god damn deputy.


See, that's the sort of thing that makes me wonder more seriously. You could easily be trying to pre-establish an alibi for any scum behavior. You let me take the lead, but when I started pushing for participation, you jumped in with a weak suggestion, and now this. It's obviously rather weak as far as tells go, but it's more than I have on any of the people who aren't posting.

And Myles, what could I possibly be distracting from at this point? I'm the only one wanting to find these scum and get rid of them. Anacletus suggested we just start hunting, so I started hunting. If you want to contribute, maybe you should chime in on policy, or announce yourself, or do basically anything besides a low content post that won't help the situation.


JingleHell makes some extremely valid points.

Myles, why are you suddenly trying to defend me? Are you trying to set up and alibi for yourself for if I get killed and turn town?

Not really defending you, just wondering why he's taking such a lead when we have nothing to go on. Starting a witch hunt is only going to get innocent people killed me thinks. Also, when did you suggest we start hunting?

This is a semi-open setup. You will know which roles may appear in the game but not the number. Well, there is at least one vanilla townie. But that's all you know.

When I interpret to mean that there can be more than one Heyoka or Complete Asshole and that there might be multiple roles not filled, am I correct?

I guess you can call trying to be a little more selective than randomly picking people to start accusing is promoting inactivity, but I was trying to be a little more prudent. The game started 2 hours ago so it seems a bit early to start accusing people.

I see Anacletus in a similar vein. That 6 out of his first 7 posts were jokes threw up red flags for me, and though his latest posts have been relevant and worthwhile for the most part, I'm still a bit leery.

As for lurkers, Monk has posted twice, once to defend himself from JH random accusations. BobTheLob has posted twice, neither time saying too much. Blind-Rawr hasn't posted much either, but his posts have been pretty good. Besides that, everyone else has been pretty active.

Now back to work.

Umlaut, I don't understand how you could consider me inactive with non-contributing posts. I was one of the first people to question Anecletus for being so non-serious and have 10 posts, which is only a couple less than you; and while they're not essays on meta analysis, I think they do provide some insight into how people are acting.

Either way, I've been just as active and contributive as most. If you want inactive/non-contributing look at Monk and BobTheLob. They have 5 and 3 posts, respectively. Actually, the fact that BobTheLob has posted almost nothing, and has posted none of his own thoughts, but hoped on the bandwagon of Anacletus is kind of surprising to have not risen red flags.

As far as why I stated I'm leaning towards Fencer, it's because nearly his entire post history has been useless. He's done a whole lot of talking about nothing while Anecletus at least contributed a little bit. They top my list as people who could be mafia, but if Bob doesn't speak up I might put him up there, too.

Anyway, I think Anacletus is still suspicious. Despite that, I'm not ready to vote for him yet because I don't think starting off non-serious is that scummy considering there was pretty much nothing to go on, and we still have over a day before night falls. I'd would like to hear some more from him, though.

And Fencer, I don't think you're making yourself look very good either.

And I realize there's little someone can say to defend themselves in situations like these, but disappearing for nearly a full day when the FoS is on you doesn't seem to add up. You've given one read on JH, everything else you said was general observations on early mafia games. And your post about people not voting thinking your town doesn't make sense either. If the non-voters were mafia(thus knowing you're town) they would hop on the bandwagon since it was already going strong, and thus not be more suspicious then anyone else.


When in fact Anacletus had given three reads as I have shown earlier. Maybe he was exaggerating for dramatic effect? Its possible and if that was the case I wouldn't hold it against him.

Maybe this is a difference in opinion. This is the only post of his I think is a read on a player.

Dumb jokes aside, that is garbage and scummy behavior for anyone in this game. You would be better off lurking and pretending you weren't here, and even that could be considered suspicious. Our goal this early should be making whatever little reads we can and start building cases. Unfortunately we cannot do that with joke posts. Are you planning on giving us any reads? Right now, you have at best 1 post so far that I don't consider a complete write-off. Everyone has to start somewhere...


I'm not actively refusing to participate.

I just don't want to throw around accusations because I think that that will be aggressive and more like scum play. I think I'll wait for a few more people to post before I post any reads.


This isn't a court of law, it's more like Jerry Springer. You talk to people, you lead into questions that get the discussion going the right way, and you start looking for things to poke at. Waiting for someone else to make a case and then bandwagoning looks pretty scummy too, so you're not doing yourself any favors.

I'd be poking in other directions more, except there's damn few directions to poke right now.


Yeah I know, I've played mafia before. It's just that refusing to participate is pretty serious and is mentioned in the rules.


He wasn't suggesting that type of refusal, he's talking about not working with us, despite these reads, and pages of notes you claim to have. If you're not helping us look for scum, you're hindering the hunt. If you're not with us, you're against us.


From what I generally see in mafia, the town is the most active in posting when the game starts, while the mafia generally don't post and lurk a while. I've been posting a lot and I really think it's too early to start calling out scum.

I said I had 8 pages of notes, that was obviously a joke, I don't know shit, bro!




While the bolded may be true it is never too early to start hunting for scum. Share your reads with us. What do you think about JingleHell? Anyone else?

If you don't have any notes why have you been filling the thread with trash about your notes? Just babbling helps scum.

I think JingleHell is playing aggressively which leads me to believe that he is a townie.

I only made the one about any supposed notes, the thread has 10 pages. So no, I am not filling the thread with trash about notes.

Well then I guess I'll post my thoughts.

First I think we should look at bandwagoners. I’m sure I’m under suspicion, or more so than before since I got the eye from some posters, for being part of the lynching, but I hope I explained my position enough that I get some BotD. A number of other people barely explained themselves at all before voting.

Blind-rawr hopped on the bandwagon without much discussion and voted pretty early, but his subsequent posts explained his position.
Intact did pretty much the same, just with a fewer number of posts.
Fencer is tied at the top for most suspicions now imo. His overall behavior, combined with his hopping on the bandwagon really early, hopping off when he got some attention, then hopping back on seems really scummy.
BobTheLob is right there with him. Lurker who used the same arguments as Fencer, hopped on the bandwagon with no reasoning, and the few posts he has made contributed nothing.

The others who voted for Anacletus seem like they had a reasonable position. And while I can’t say we know for sure that those who didn’t vote for him are town, I think it’s really likely because the FoS went so quickly on Anacletus . He didn’t do much to convince us of his innocence, so if they were PBUs it’d be some serious metagaming to start backing off and potentially drawing attention when there was so much support.

I'd like you to think about that, he hopes he has explained himself enough to get the benefit of the doubt. Not that he hopes to prove that he is town or that someone else is scum he just wants to have a respite from being attacked, he wants us to lay off of him and give him a break even though his posts were scummy. He wants the benefit of the doubt but hasn't proved why he should get it.

JH had taken an interest in me because I thought Umlaut's proposal made some sense and had answered his question that I didn't think Hopeless's posts were that scummy. I didn't even make a big defense of him, just answered a question on what I though about him and then defended my position when JH questioned it.

Well, you're reasoning of hopeless being suspicious because his voting someone else after Anacletus was all but secured is something I don't agree with. I don't think that's much to go one because Fencer revealed himself to be pretty scummy with his spammy offtopic posts and haphazard voting. I mean, you basically did the same thing by putting an early FoS on Anacletus then changing to focus once other people jumped in. I don't think something like that is very damning.


When JH did it there was no discussion and he was trying to start it, I disagree with his methods but not his goals.

I know, and I agreed with that before. It was a valid reason to change focus and I think hopeless read on Fencer was as well.


read the whole thing. Myles says that he JH did the same thing as fencer so it isn't scummy and, when I mentioned why JH did that Myles was quick to back off while citing a previous agreement with the reasoning. He tried to make JH lay off of Fencer but somehow forgot that he has to remain consistent with his own opinions.

So read this and make up your own mind, why is Myles posting this way?Is he just stopping here to watch this thread fill up with spam or does he know whose town this is and Myles has to go?

Pre-edit: I really wanted to make that Robert Frost reference but I don't think it was very good, ah well.

JH: okay I'll assume Bob is being useless and not scummy right now. I'm still keeping an eye on him though.

I really don't get this one. I said changing votes based on new info doesn't seem scummy and I never asked JH to back off Fencer as he was the 2nd on my list for a while. I said that Hopeless's change was based off new info so not scummy, the same way that JH had changed many times, early due to trying to create discussion, and later on when he felt Hopeless was incriminating himself, and I don't think that's scummy. On the other hand, Fencer bandwagoned on the Anecletus lynch, quickly changed his mind when blind-rawr mention lurkers, then hopped right back on as soon as someone else voted. That seems a lot more suspicious to me.

And I'll make the Robert Frost reference for you considering I've heard it a million times.

That part there is inaccurate. JH hadn't begin to seriously accuse me yet. I got things wrong I think due to be flustered by the all the suspicion being thrown at me. Remembering correctly, I just figured since I was pointed at a bit before that I would be likely to fingered again. By adding it in there it only made things worse, I guess, and this probably only seals my fate.

It's hard to make a clear read on JH's death when he was a pretty obvious target with how he had taken the lead. We need to get more people talking again or else we won't learn anything. I don't think we should be taking our eyes off the lurkers.

This is very convenient after posting that he'll make a statement, then a heavy FoS goes on Hopeless and I, and he never makes said post. I would consider this enough of a reason to go through the hassle of posting from a phone. Pushing things back to tomorrow seems like more delaying so that shit can hit the fan in someone else's direction. First because he just got back from the nightclub, and now because his home internet is out.

And that Fencer is so quick to cast his vote makes him still suspicious to me. In this case it's pretty bandwagony and makes it easy for other people to jump on.

Where are the lurkers? We've been questioning them since last the night first fell, and yet there's been 1 post by intact(about how his internet 'died', 1 post by iamperfection(no read, but talking about Fencer's trigger happy voting), and 2 posts by blind-rawr(1 about regret on the mislynch, the other to defend himself from Hopeless). If you guys are townies you need to start posting like it with some reads, reasoning, or something.

Bob has also started posting a bit, but hasn't said anything too relevant except for the one summary post where his only read other than 'uh, I'm not sure' was on JH and Prom when they probably had the least cause to be suspicious. In his posts sense then only this+ Show Spoiler +

What is your basis for Bob being more suspect than Hopeless?

(By the way, I made a post in the ABL thread about getting a replacement in for Monk, hopefully someone responds soon.)

Bob is flying too low below the radar. Hopeless is iffy due to some of his early reasoning and the quick flip flop on the policy lynch of lurkers, but he's been providing a lot of info and taken a lot of heat while still keeping it up. It makes me a lot more hesitant than bob who has lived off the dumb scared newb label.

@Prom
If I was DT I would have check Hopeless or myself. We were taking the most heat from people last night and I think it makes sense to be able to confirm/deny the accusations as early as possible. There's too many lurkers to try and take a chance on them, and I'm not sure the heat on Intact started early enough to make a difference. Fencar would be another good choice, but over the night he had also kind of fallen below the radar like Bob due to all the FoS JH was doing, and his scummyness comes more from his posting style than actual scummy stuff he's said(until now at least).

And I know it's possible we don't have a watcher, but given that this is a newb game I would hope the deck didn't get completely stacked against us - that seems like a pretty critical role right under DT and medic. And as much as you and JH were working well together, he was definitely the lead and seemed would be the #1 target for the medic, watcher, and pbu's - assuming we have the first 2. You would have been second, imo, but a pretty clear 2nd.

Fencar dropping out doesn't remove any of my suspicion, either. He did a poor job defending himself, has bandwagoned both votes, then when questions keep coming(as I would think anyone who isn't Prom, and maybe Umlaut, should expect) decides that's he done enough to make up for his initial mistake(which I would argue put him under less suspicion than me or Hopeless, he just kept a lot of the same activities that had people eyeing him before) and is over it. It's not conclusive, but nothing there tells me he is a fed up townsperson who did everything they could to help out.

Intact is certainly a top candidate for lynch now that Fencer is on the back burner. He's been called him out a number of times already and he still hasn't posted anything except excuses. I hadn't really considered his early reads on me suspicious because there was an incentive to get the ball rolling, but it is interesting how he mentions it a couple more times then votes for Anacletus and doesn't discuss it at all and instead goes on to someone else(Prom). His reasoning on Prom is also very interesting because he admits the bandwagoning on Anacletus, but also sees looking at someone else suspicious - but Prom had FoS'd on Fencer, and if Fencer and Intact were both scum, I think it starts to make more sense.

Hopeless, I especially agree with the 3rd part as it really makes no sense considering the information we had. Unless he would really try to make the case that the adding Fencar to the list of suspects was being obviously scummy even though I think its obvious that everyone agrees the case on Fencar looks legit.

Another interesting thing I just noticed, Fencar was the first to vote and Anecletus which was followed his quickly unvoting as has been discussed before. But you know what I think was glossed over, the vote that got him back on the bandwagon - Intact's.

Intact, you don't seem very convincing. A lot of your explanation is bad play or "I really thought Anacletus was scum'. I while I agree that Anacletus looked scummy(I did vote for him afterall) your reasoning for FoS on Prom is really odd when you readily admitted the bandwagon was strong. I'm also not quite sure how you would feel so strongly about Anacletus - I could be looking back with some form of rose-colored glasses, but while he seemed like the best bet, I don't think I would have ever called it close to sure thing.+ Show Spoiler +

My first guess was Myles, however he is no longer on top of the list(although I will keep an eye on him). I'm leaning mostly towards Analectus, his posts contain very little of value and seems more like a way to avoid being branded a lurker. And like I said before I have seen scum play that is similar to what JH and Analectus is doing.

EBWOP - add 'one of' between 'when' and 'your' and change 'read' to 'reads' in the sentence "Also, why are you claiming ignorance with this post + Show Spoiler + when your first read"

so that it says "Also, why are you claiming ignorance with this post + Show Spoiler + when one of your first reads"

Since Fencar dropped out without voting and is yet to be replaced, doesn't that mean there's only 9 players so it should be 5 votes to lynch?

I'm relooking over the case on Blind-rawr, but he hasn't really set off any alarms for me even though there really isn't much difference between him and Bob - and I'm not really sure why not. Him and iamperfection are both really border line but I can't see them as more than 50/50 at this point. Bob and Intact seem like better choice, especially since I think a couple of things Intact has posted are suspiciously inconsistent. I'll post again once I'm done rereading stuff.

After looking things over, there's one thing that throws up a red flag for blind-rawr - after Fencar votes on Anacletus he remarks that he'd layoff voting because there is still 2 lurkers who haven't posted, but 2 hours later he votes anyways when literally nothing has changed other than the bandwagon has started. Caught up in group think or seeing a safe opportunity to jump on, it's hard to say.

I think I'm reading him above Bob in my Scum-o-meter now, but Intact still seems like a more solid choice. His posting has been all around abysmal and his excuses are lame. I'm going to be around right until nightfall so I won't be voting just yet, but I'm heavily learning towards Intact right now.

I'm going to pull the trigger and vote intact. He seems like the best choice given the information we have. As has been discussed, there's too many inconsistencies with the bandwagon, reads, and ability to post.

Yea, we did, but it doesn't help at all when you clam up and stop posting when put under the gun, after barely posting at all to begin with. I'm pretty fucking frustrated right now.

Yea, after this last turn of events I really have no clue. I was pretty confident about Intact, but with him flipped town my whole read has turned to shit. I'm too inebriated after 4th of July to really go over anything now, but I'll take a loot tomorrow after work.

I'm going to be honest even though it's going to make me look bad - I still don't have a fucking clue. Unless someone slips up ridiculously, any vote I make is no better then a coin flip based on the info I can see - even Fencar at this point. Call that scummy/non-committal/whatever if you want, but its my true belief and I'm not going to write some bullshit post that about stuff I don't believe in.

And since a few people brought it up, my outburst on N2 was because I pretty confident Intact was scum, was wrong, and have greatly contributed to our own demise with my wrong reads/votes; plus we have no information from blues and can't be sure about anything - that's really frustrating.

Ok, thanks ghost for the pardon. And again, sorry for my absence.


AU, you make some strong points imo. If you and Prom are town, which I'm inclined to believe right now, there's no reason for the scum not to at least test the waters. That there was almost no support besides you two seems far more meaningful than any of reads we've made so far. Unless something else significant comes along, I think that will influence my vote the most since words are up for interpretation, but actions speak louder.

I also think Bob's vote on himself is telling. He's played the dumb newb card pretty well, but how would you not realize putting two votes on yourself is not the way to cause a no-lynch? I think that was a scum slip.

Bob and Hopeless have my FoS.

Given Keirathi's latest revelation and the results of the night, I'm thinking that Hopeless, iamperfection, and bobthelob are the scum team. Even without the confirmation on Hopeless, the case Umlaut made is 100% valid imo.

It's hard to make a solid case for bob or perfection one way or another, so it's basically down to process of elimination. I've had a town read on Prom for a while now. Umalut's last minute change makes me pretty certain he's town. And Keirathi saying his investigation revealed town on me after he was initially quite suspicious makes me think his role claim is legit - that, or we don't have a dt which seems incomprehensible for a newb game.

I still think bob voting himself is a tell that he is scum. My reasoning is that a real townie, even a dumb one, would consider the fact that putting a second vote on themselves makes it possible for scum to hop on and seal the lynch in that situation. Since he is scum it didn't cross his mind because he was focused on looking pro-town and going along with the no-lynch.

AmericanUmlaut suggested that we all vote for ourselves a while back when I mentioned that we would all have to have different votes for a no-lynch to work. Assuming he read that and remembered it, it was not necessarily a scum slip, just not paying attention and thought that was still the plan.

That's why I think it was a slip, because an actual townie would be paying attention to fact that they opened to door to getting themselves lynched.

Based on what happened, Hopeless is scum, or the mafia played some exceptional meta-gaming by predicting Umlaut's plan, since them jumping on last minute would have tied things up unless our medic got their first save of the game. That or everyone's read on you except Keirathi's had been wrong, and Umlaut's post was it's own meta-game, but that seems very unlikely at this point. Hopeless seems most likely and we have to go with that.

This is how I see it - either Hopeless is scum and that's why it was hard for Prom/Umlaut to round up support, or Prom/Umluat are scum and that's the reason they couldn't drum up support. I'll be voting Hopeless because I think there's far more to suggest Prom and Umluat are town rather than scum, and Keirathi's story, after further review, does seem to have some holes in it.

You know, for as much as I was ready for this to be over, I at least wanted a satisfactory ending - wrong or right. That was the shttiest way it could have ended. A no lynch in LyLo...you gotta be kidding me.

Rofl wtf. That's such a weird play that its funny, even if you are scum and just wanted the no-lynch instead of the hammer.

Maybe we were both wrong and Prom and Hopeless are both scum.

Did BlindRawr really not have any reads for Keirathi?


He did investigate Intact night 1. I didn't mention it because, despite his innocent result, he left the game and didn't try to protect Intact at all.

I came into the game in a bad position and was trying to play damage control.

That's really, really weird. He requested a ban right after he bailed on the game - maybe something serious came up in real life and he just had to cut off contact with TL?

He requested a ban shortly afterwards. Something serious did come up, but that really fucked us.
