He's a big boy, I think he can do basic arithmetic.

Thx pal! Sorry I didn't pick up what you were doing with the cop-claim. Luckily we had BeastModeSyllo this game too ^^
e: Looking back, did you interpret your role as you CAN'T claim? Because it looked to me to be just advised against.

It's cool, better players than you agree with you.
And yeah, I'll post a pic when I have time. A REAL pic...of me REALLY eating my hat. Unlike some imitators you might be familiar with.

Well, to be fair, the Foolish lynch directly before the King lynches was what really organized town. And that was all supersoft.

Fortunately the good bureaucrats had trimmed the rules significantly, so nobody was hurt by a little paper. VisceraEyes has been given night-immunity and has given two votes for the remainder of the game. Zealos the Entrepreneurial townie has been modkilled by not posting for three days. You have 48 hours to vote but if you nearly unanimously decide on a lynch I will end it faster.
You don't remember that? Oh, that's what I would have done with your power if I were scum. Or something along those lines.
Yes you were outted by the snoops, but still...mod-confirmation can be incredibly strong. Worth a shot, right?

But imagine where a well-organized scum team could have been after sacrificing one of the branches!
Like, imagine if Foolish hadn't been implicated in the opening post (PCP Enterprises...after No clues is in the OP. LOL). Imagine further if Foolish had been playing his standard town game. Imagine further that he found and lynched a whole branch of his team.
Imagine how far he could have gotten with 2 partners who know who he is, 3 minions who know 1 of the people who know who foolish is, and a whole town of people following him because he's consistently lynching scum.
The game seems to have been designed around the length of the game, and I think that's something the scum team didn't really account for. If Foolish had done some serious bussing early on and lynched a couple of scum, his cred would have been sufficient to at least avoid a vig shot. He might have still had to contend with the lynch, but that would have changed the game entirely.
I don't think it's imbalanced in favor of town...at least, not if the scum-team is going to be playing ball.

I thought that's what syllo was doing. XD

For a moment there my liege, I did...but then it occurred to me that all the scum got VT role PMs and you claimed my role before I did.
So not at the end, no.
e: And I meant what I said...in spite of my illogical idiot brain telling me you were scum, upon rereading I couldn't find a single thing that I thought you would do as scum.

/salute
Okay Q - remove the mask. Who have we been playing with?
|
He saying you should be grateful - obviously if he put you on a scum list we would have lynched the piss out of you dear.

Zealos is generally disinterested in the game regardless of alignment. If he had been actively pushing mafia objectives, he probably would have been lynched. Since he just fell silent, and because there were more pressing concerns pretty much every day, he kept getting a pass. It wasn't so much that people figured out that he was town, it was that there wasn't ever an optimal time to lynch him.

Minions should not have given a rat's buttock about secretly figuring out who their team mates were. This game gave mafia the tools to play to their town game's. The biggest real issues for minions were the anonymous PM's, BM's stealing power and the difficulty of having to play out a very long game.
^ THIS ^
I hide behind my town-meta in most games I roll scum, and I was PRAYING to roll minion this game.

Indeed...there were plenty of people not willing to lynch laya for his little display.

Here's where you lost me. Don't be afraid of so-called "town leaders" dominating the thread - a wise rapper once said...
YOU GOTTA TAKE THE POWER BACK!!!
Like, at that point, there had been NO scum lynches guy...NONE. NO ONE was so confirmed that simply opposing them would earn you the rope. I mean, I was never pushed as a lynch candidate in spite of loudly and often calling Sandroba and syllogism scum all effing game.

Prob I didn't give you the lynch with conditions. I gave you the lynch, period. It wasn't a test, and I wasn't testing your alignment. At the time, I was convinced you were scum...illogically and irrationally, but I was convinced. But, because I could find no discernable evidence of such in your posting, I calculated that you would make an earnest attempt to lynch scum regardless of your alignment.
Thankfully, my senses returned before scum could jump on the opportunity to really nurture that seed of doubt.

But you do that all the effing time as both alignments. If i had called sandroba scum particularly after i was labelled scum for being away i would have bee treated like scum by the enitire thread and been lynched either that day or the next. Sandroba was clearly town based on the role he had claimed, his usage of it, and his play in previous games. Besides the only reason you called Sandroba scum was because of some bussing theory based off of something that cheznui wrote. Once a player has people following them with votes you either have to cast doubt on them which puts you at great risk or treat them like they are town.
See that's where we disagree...you going after thread-leaders would have made you seem townie to me. Cowering in the shadows while others do the bulk of the posting is far scummier than calling down people up on a high-horse. 10 times out of 10.

Your town play is good - why would your scum play not be good? And I only LUCKED into catching you in that C9++, remember?

<3
It does, but you have to keep in mind that at that point, people just wanted you to say SOMETHING sir! lol
And going after loud people you disagree with is EXACTLY what I'd expect town layabout to do.

I know palmar well enough to know he couldn't be town based on just some of his reads and wording choices. Of course, explaining this kind of subtle things to everyone else wouldn't be very convincing.
What sealed it for me was his insistence that it wan't Chezinu sending me messages when Chezinu had admitted to sending me messages, indicating that he clearly wasn't even reading the thread. That's not what townPalmar does.
I've seen townPalmar get lazy with it, but only in terms of posting. He always at least reads what people are saying.

Hey good game madame. I know syllogism thought you were scum, but I think you did an okay job of establishing your innocence and a really good job of finding scum. ^^
