the gist toad is that voting zeph guarantees one scum if CD is telling the truth or two scum if CD is lying. I think he's got 7 votes right now.

Does that make sense to anyone else? I mean if I'm DT and I get a red check I'm happy to one for one in most situations. Who needs to worry about credibility when you can just lynch the check? And if you're going to wait a day, I say go for someone you find suspicious instead to see if you can't get two red checks off. Zeph gave up too easily too

I thought he was saying he was delighted because he caught a scum or whatever. Not because he agreed w laser saying that he should be shot. I dunno it's strange to me that he picks someone to check to bolster his cred when dt claims are pretty easy to verify as we are doing now.

I'd be insulted but then I remembered that I don't care enough about opinions. Yeah, I did tell BC the situation, and he was cool about it. I'd quite like to leave it at that till the end of the game, if that

I don't exactly have much time to read up so I'll do my best about the situation. It looks like it' between talis and zeph, right?

Not an insult I just think you might be scum

So basically what's going on in this game comes down to this:

Godfather
The Godfather has the ability to decide what role he will appear to be when a Detective role checks him. It may be any role and must be chosen Day 1 or he will default to Townie role. After your role is chosen you may not change it after that; decisions are final for the whole game.

Put yourselves in scum's shoes for a minute. What's the coolest use you can think of for this GF variant? Now look at Count Dropula.

My theory:

Count Dropula is the scum godfather. He made himself appear to any DT check as another DT. He then buses all out one of his teammates. Then he claims a red check on that person, and a green check on another member of his team (Lazermonkey). Even better, a third member (maybe even a fourth) is there pressuring the teammate to be bussed. That's VE.

I'm actually about 90% sure this is correct. Unfortunately, I have this red check hanging over my shoulder, which means none of you will believe me until I'm dead. So be it. But please remember this idea once this happens. I'm the only one I think that has any clue what's going on at the moment.

Right now, it's 11 townies, 4 scum. If I'm vig'd (best case scenario for scum) it will be 8 townies, 4 scum tomorrow. This will be the hardest day for scum, as they need to force two mislynches in order to win from here on out. They've done something pretty cute but they aren't out of the woods yet. They probably think they are with at least two members semi-confirmed and another one that can get a lot of cred from zeph. Too bad for them I really am a miller :-)

______________


Next important things:

Zephirdd was a goon. I am supposedly a goon. (I'm not, but let's run with it). So that means that the scum team is something like this: GF + Mason + Goon + Goon + RB / (RB and Mason). Remember to keep this in mind. It will be irrelevant soon once I'm flipped miller, but always remember that there's at least one, probably two scum masons out there. Also remember that Toad is confirmed town through xsebt's check. That leaves jingle, hassy, and VE. And once I'm dead, it should be clear that VE is certainly scum. Nevertheless jingle, scum are going to try for your mislynch after me. Be prepared.

Now here's what's going to happen night-action wise. You may think "How could CD get away with a fake DT claim and be able to explain his continued survival?" Well it's pretty simple.

CD will wake up tomorrow, and he will claimed Roleblocked. He will claim this from now until the end of the game. (the actual RB will be thrown away on another scum). What's critical then is that xsebt survive. If I'm scum in their position, I put two night kills on xsebt and gamble that there's only one doctor in the game, or that the real doctors protect CD. Sadly, given how poorly our medics have performed thus far, I imagine they will completely ignore this:

MEDICS, PROTECT XSEBT AND DO NOT PROTECT CD

We need to ensure that scum feel compelled to use their RB within their team. If they think they can get away with CD surviving AND can RB xsebt the rest of the game then we must prove them wrong. Of course it feels kinda futile to say that knowing that the medics aren't going to listen to me but whatever.

xsebt, check VE

EVEN IF YOU THINK I'M SCUM, CHECK VE


Why?

At least one mason must be scum. There are three left alive that don't already have a green check. If VE checks red, great. If VE checks green, great. Hell check jinglehell or hassy if you want. I just know that VE is going to check red, so you might as well spare yourself some time.

Point 3. How can you not control your own play? It's entirely possible that you would try to play away from your scum meta if you rolled scum in order to be considered less scummy.


Just having a skim through lazer's filter and wanted to briefly respond to this. For reference, point 3 in my "why I'm miller" argument is that I can't play this actively and this aggressively and loosely as scum.

Yes, Lazer. I cannot control my own play. I can't do it. I've tried and it doesn't work. When I know the answers (as scum) I can't pretend that I don't.

_______


As an aside, Lazer's filter is pretty good. If he is scum which I still can't get away from then he's been doing a great job giving himself distance between him and every other player that I think is scum. Even keeping his vote on VE, that was well-done. Look to see how his view on VE evolves from this point forward in the game. Does he do what he did for dropula? Go from calling him out to "oh nvm I think this guy is town"? A red flag should go up in that case.

"not contributing"? What do you want me to do, pull bullshit out of my ass the way you are doing?

wbg outing masons is a town move because he believes there is scum in the masons; He is outing them in order to pressure them.

VE is town because his posting lines up with cautious blue that wants to protect his supposedly powerful mason role.
Erandorr is dumb, but I'd say he wouldn't be that dumb as scum.

Talismania's posts made sense for me when he posted them, and I still see them as possible town opinions.

prplhz has been baiting scum with certain actions, while making sense with others. He hasn't caused chaos and is doing a good job in keeping the pace of the thread.

Everything else is a null tell.

I hate defending other people. That's their job. I only defend someone when I feel I have someone better to lynch. I don't.

Deal with it.

Glasse I thought was hilariously obviously scummy. Like so blatant I honestly don't know what to think. Guess I should go dig up another game of his.

Then he mirrors a player that has shown a case, throw a bunch of unnecessary town reads(nobody asked that, why do it) and after some fluff he says Glasse was "hilariously obviously scummy" without giving true reasoning(ie. giving a post and explaining why that was a scum post).

Then he is rolefishing "for his own amusement".

Hmm maybe people weren't wrong about questioning his plans on the beginning.

No, this isn't an issue of confidence. Confidence would be saying "WBG is scum/town" rather than "I think WBG is scum/town". What you said was "WBG thinks *this*" and saying "I think WBG thinks *this*" makes no difference, because you are claiming you know how someone is thinking and I'm calling BS on that.

What post of his makes you assume WBG is thinking in the same way as you?

When you defend someone, do you know what that person is thinking? I don't find wbg's actions scummy. I gave you a possible POV that shows you that he wasn't scummy(aka. what I think he was thinking). What else is there to say?

Usually, since you can glean thoughts from posts. I've asked which of WBG's posts you have gleaned that thought "there is scum in the masons", and you still haven't given me anything, nor a sufficient explanation.

In either case, would you please shed some thoughts on prplhz or any other potential lynch candidate for today?


I made a mini-case on talismania if you are interested.

When wbg instaclaims he is masoned with VE, and then later with Erandorr, my initial thought is that he is outing masons because it's likely that masons are scum. Simple as that.

My notes on prplhz are "baiting". I don't find him disruptive and he is making sense. Will re-read tho.

talismania's filter - summarized nicely by BKEXE - is terrible. He was helpful during the "discussion that everyone can take any instance and still be town" phase, but not after.

I am not sure about prplhz... I guess he is a decent lynch tho, he did go afk out of nowhere, and last time I saw him doing that he was scum. He's not the kind of guy who just "goes" away.

Well, consolidating votes won't hurt, right? I still want to go back to CD on the future.

Also, people arguing against wbg, learn something: LOGIC > YOU. A player has all right to get mad when he is trying to use reasoning and all you do is shit.



(fun read if you think we're actually scum together hahaha. It's like I was the one that was supposed to bus him when instead I pretty much read him as town since after mid-way through day one when I thought he was scummy).

  • Did he mason someone randomly from the get go? Why wasn't he afraid to randomly hit mafia at all? WBG can be pretty manipulative
  • If it was not from the get-go VE probably had a town-read on WBG. If that's the case VE should have no problem at all telling people why he thinks WBG to be town. Someone masoning without even being able to explain why is the most suspicious thing in the world. So VE SHOULD have told WBG why he thinks that he's town if that's really the case.
  • Did VE explain why he masoned you WBG?


I'd rather have an answer quite quick than giving VE some time to write something up.


This seemed off because he seemed to have stopped for the night by the time I went to sleep. So, I looked. Sure enough, you start posting a case 7 hours and change after VE's last post, you vote somewhere in the 8ish hour range, and say you want fast answers 9 hours after his last post.

Asking for an answer quick is one thing if he's posting, but this seems a bit pushy. Trying to force the issue with someone who hasn't posted in hours and use that to make them look scummy?

I can't speak for his motives, because they sure as hell don't make much sense to me yet, but yours just seem scummy.

I wanted WBG to answer the questions...

Why are you defending him so much? Is he your scum buddy? All he did so far was randomly call 2 names without any proofs.

All you have done so far is provide a series of one-liners that are non-committal and dismissive towards prplhz's accusations of your actions thus far. He looks significantly more "town than town can be" by comparison, since he's actively pressuring and trying to get discussion out of you.
He asks precisely WHY do you not like wbg, and you throw it back in his face, and expect that to look townie? You kiddin me?
##Vote: Glasse

(I still think we should post our votes in this thread for filter/quoting purposes...just don't pull any fake vote shenanigans plz)



To me, wherebugsgo either called out 2 blues for mafia or both are his scum buddies and he's trying to make them look less suspicious by calling them out.

Right now, neither of the 2 came in the thread to call bullshit on him so it's either 2 blues that don't care they were called out, its probably not 2 random fake call outs at this point, it can be 2 reds and they planned this.

Then he comes in and tries to defend wherebugsgo blindly.

I'll let you decide who is the scum in here.



How do you know they are both blues?

Zephirdd's change from one unfounded vote to another tells me that

1. He doesn't care who is lynched
2. He doesn't feel comfortable dealing with pressure, so he fires back on jinglehell counterproductively.

I just noticed this gem. Finally that paid off.

Let me explain it to you. It was 5min into the game. I didn't even bother casting those votes on the voting thread. Why? Because they didn't matter, and I'd change them later anyway. It's not that I don't care, it's just that by creating a stupid vote, you take reactions from people. People like you, who is trying to take something as silly as that as an excuse to vote me, when in fact there is nothing there that makes me scum.

I'm not afraid of having opinions change, as no town should be. My opinions did change quickly - and that's pretty damn common for a town player.

You are creating bullshit reasoning to jump into the wagon easily. Nice first post scum.

Okay, people on this town are CRAZY. I don't know where you guys are getting that wbg is playing scum. This is motherfucking wherebugsgo we are talking about. You know, the one bugs that would destroy everyone here if he was scum. Do you guys really think you found a scum on him so fucking early into the game?

Whoever is talking about "veterans" list, I really don't get it. The vets aren't just VE/prpl/bugs/erandorr. If anything, there is also me, sloosh, BKEXE(where are you bro?), Toad, talismania, ghost_403(another one I'm yet to hear from)... We aren't new players. We have plenty of experience with TL already. Why would you go into process of elimination only on these first four? That's ridiculous.

Secondly, every single argument is the same argument over and over: town arguing with town that the game should be played certain way. Nothing wbg has said is scum-indicative. He outed 2 masons, where a scum could simply hide them and kill them. The counter argument to that? Pure fucking WIFOM. VE wouldn't breadcumb wbg, that's fucking bullshit. Even if he did, his death wouldn't instantly point towards wbg because there are reasons to shoot VE n1(he is a vet for instance).

You guys are CRAZY.

Zephirdd's change from one unfounded vote to another tells me that

2. He doesn't feel comfortable dealing with pressure, so he fires back on jinglehell counterproductively.

I just noticed this gem. Finally that paid off.

Let me explain it to you. It was 5min into the game. I didn't even bother casting those votes on the voting thread. Why? Because they didn't matter, and I'd change them later anyway. It's not that I don't care, it's just that by creating a stupid vote, you take reactions from people. People like you, who is trying to take something as silly as that as an excuse to vote me, when in fact there is nothing there that makes me scum.

I'm not afraid of having opinions change, as no town should be. My opinions did change quickly - and that's pretty damn common for a town player.

You are creating bullshit reasoning to jump into the wagon easily. Nice first post scum.

##unvote (talismania)
##vote CountDropula


Your burst of emotion is suspicious. If your play in the first 5 min paid off, why are you continuing the same behavior in the very response where you out it to the thread? Isn't it over?

You never mentioned my second point in your response.

I'm not the only one who is suspicious of you, but I don't know about a bandwagon. Just give everyone some concrete defense, we will determine that you are green, and this won't take up any more time.


Second point? what? "He doesn't feel comfortable dealing with pressure"? Pff
You mean the fact that I insta-voted JH? Pretty much because he was the first to attack my random vote on prplhz. That's all to make people react, and see if stupid scum will fall for it. Pretty much the same as when someone claims vanilla townie on his first post of the game.

Geez, so easy to catch newb scum like you :> You are newb scum right?

It's entirely reasonable that a town player would change opinions within two posts, given that someone gives the proper arguments.
Random voting someone for the sake of random voting, 5 minutes into the day, is pretty much a bait for scum.

Then he pulls some bullshit "You never answered XXX" when I answered everything. And I even said more a few posts later. He never counter-argued.

talismania's filter - summarized nicely by BKEXE - is terrible. He was helpful during the "discussion that everyone can take any instance and still be town" phase, but not after.

I am not sure about prplhz... I guess he is a decent lynch tho, he did go afk out of nowhere, and last time I saw him doing that he was scum. He's not the kind of guy who just "goes" away.

Glasse I thought was hilariously obviously scummy. Like so blatant I honestly don't know what to think. Guess I should go dig up another game of his.

Then he mirrors a player that has shown a case, throw a bunch of unnecessary town reads(nobody asked that, why do it) and after some fluff he says Glasse was "hilariously obviously scummy" without giving true reasoning(ie. giving a post and explaining why that was a scum post).

Then he is rolefishing "for his own amusement".

wbg outing masons is a town move because he believes there is scum in the masons; He is outing them in order to pressure them.

VE is town because his posting lines up with cautious blue that wants to protect his supposedly powerful mason role.
Erandorr is dumb, but I'd say he wouldn't be that dumb as scum.

Talismania's posts made sense for me when he posted them, and I still see them as possible town opinions.

prplhz has been baiting scum with certain actions, while making sense with others. He hasn't caused chaos and is doing a good job in keeping the pace of the thread.

Everything else is a null tell.

I hate defending other people. That's their job. I only defend someone when I feel I have someone better to lynch. I don't.

My posting is mechanical and that's why I'm scummy, maybe you could elaborate on that. Even though you seem to have changed your mind again to prplhz before I responded to you. Are you just jumping on the easiest target every time? What's the deal?

Prplhz shouldn't be lynched today. No way in hell. He's gotten too much negative attention from too many people, it seems likely to me mafia is pushing for the easy lynch against an aggressive player. And why wouldn't they? prplhz isn't playing as good or as friendly as he could be. This is the last time I defend him against the rest of the angry mob unless he stops with the "LOL SCUM LOL."

I am going to go with gut for my day one vote. Zephirdd's posting is the scummiest right now in my opinion. He spends a lot of his time telling other, presumably town players, how to play. Something mafia can't seem to resist doing in most of the games I play. He is stating mostly FACTS (people talking like they know something for certain are suspicious because only mafia have FACTS) and very little speculation.

As for everyone who is suspicious of me for lurking, you're right, it's suspicious, my bad. I work during the day (USEAST) and can't post till night usually. Expect my posts then, like I'm doing now. If anyone has any questions for me now is a good time I will be around.

##vote: Zephirdd


Alright, there are a couple of wrong things here.
1. Calls sloosh out, yet considers me the scummiest target

2. Says prplhz has gotten too much negative attention. Can you tell me it is possible to give him a positive trait to his play? No you can't. Because there is NO positive trait to his play so far. He's gotten a lot of negative attention because that's what his play warrants - and you agree with this on your very last sentence. In fact, his lynch has actually gotten an awfully lot of resistance, more than I would like.

3. Reasoning for me being scum is bullshit and does not warrant a vote. I posted an awful lot for day 1 this game, so if you want to point out specific points in my play, do it and I'll counter anything you have.

I've stated things with certainty, because that's what I believe to be true. Stating things as FACTS means being certain of yourself. Maybe they are wrong later, who cares. What's important is that I'm decisive in what I say, and I should be held accountable to that later.

Also, I love how it took you 39mins to arrive at the conclusion that I am scum, when you are behind 10 pages. Will want to hear more from you.


1. Well, at least you can read.
2. I stand by what I said.
3. "Your reason is bullshit because it's bullshit."

Good job.


As I said, I posted an awfully lot. Point me what is scummy specifically, and I'll point out why it is not scummy.

Additionally, I added reasoning for stating things with certainty. That alone should show why it's a bad argument to vote me for that.

Also, I just realized I kinda read your third paragraph wrongly. I thought you were complaining that I was posting with certainty, but you're complaining that I am mostly stating "facts" instead of "speculation".

Guess what, speculating stuff is terrible =_= Oh I think you are mafia oh maybe you are town! No. I look at what people post, and define scum or town according to what they do. Then, I state a FACT and use it to prove that someone is SCUM. In fact, my spreadsheet right now only has facts, and these facts help me determine an alignment. Playing under speculations is a bad way to play imo.

I posted facts. I literally pointed the obvious. Things that cannot be denied. These things made me infer that someone is scum - scumhunting

I have not seen you pointing out facts about me. I have not seen you pointing out things that can't be denied, specifically, the way I'm doing to an actual candidate. Do you think your vote on me has any chance of gaining any traction to form into a lynch? If you think so, I think you are wrong because your case is substantially weak when compared to what I point out about the actual candidate. If you don't think so, then why are you even bothering with me?

I need a break. I'll grab some beer. Watch EVO. and go to sleep. Don't wait my answers until tomorrow at ~00KST(which should be noon for me).


Day and night.

All you are posting in this game is speculative, your case against me is not complete and irrefutable - actually it's the opposite since its based on so little. Town Zeph would never have done this. This is expected from a lazy scum case. Same thing with that "minicase" on talismania. It's well below the standard of your previous town game.

You voted me at 8.59 August 4. I had one post at the time. one. Ever since then you've been pushing me as scum. How can you draw a conclusion like that from nothing? You know something we don't, and you were trying to create a distraction from more relevant issues.
If you respond with a crazy belligerent post you just lynched yourself. Honestly you are dead with any response you make, because you are so irredeemably bad at playing scum that you will make a mistake and I will pick you apart with it.
Now who's the noob scum?

Guys, don't bury this post. Please give it serious thought, cause I've got a really strong read on this guy. If I'm wrong about this, I deserve to be lynched. Get this guy into the spotlight and he will crack.
Please. Lets lynch Zephirdd and start killing mafia.



Ok so this stuff doesn't quite add up.

If I follow, what you're saying is that in reading Zephirdd's posts, you thought he might be scum early on. You then went to research previous games of his. After researching it, you noticed that zephirdd was "comfortable" with people that acted "level-headed and nooby". So first question,

1) Can you give us an example from that game of someone acting "level-headed and nooby" and then zephirdd reacting by being "comfortable" with them?

You then decided to lay a trap for him. You yourself would act level-headed and nooby by making a case against him, to see how he would respond. He then snaps back at you, and you call this scummy because he didn't wait to build a case on you with other information. Ok I follow that even though it's kind of a stretch. But this is where things go off for me

You've laid a trap based on eliciting a particular meta-response
He falls for it

You... vote for wbg, ninja switch to me, ninja switch to prp, meekly say "oh my votes were kind of rash and jumping the gun. It's a mistake but is it really suspicious?" (paraphrase).

Well ok let me think this through. Perhaps it still holds consistency. After all you are accusing zeph for being scummy by springing a trap too early. You had yours, but you didn't want to spring it yet because you wanted more time to build a case. I can sort of buy that.

You then accuse him of "feeding the chaos". Personally I don't really see this at all. Has anyone else felt that zephirdd has made this game chaotic? I haven't.

The point about calling town reads scummy and posting town reads is a stretch. He's talking about me being scummy because I posted several town reads without explanation. That's different from saying that it's outright scummy to post a town read at all. I think this is confirmation bias looking for more evidence.

Next, you can't just say "this post is swiss cheese. Full of holes" and not point out what the holes are. I mean you should give his case an honest response, not just dismiss it out of hand.

The last part you should also spell out more. Like you're stating a meta-difference from NMM II to now but you're sort of stating it and going "here, see?" but I'm too obtuse to figure out what exactly is different.


1) Can you give us an example from that game of someone acting "level-headed and nooby" and then zephirdd reacting by being "comfortable" with them?

Yes. I define "level-headed and nooby" as taking an honest and simple look at information and raising a question.

Here is a post with this tone from NMMII. It's directed at Zeph.

However, if they don't even need to do it, we wouldn't find their "way" and we wouldn't have useful information for scumhunting in the first place.


No outburst or finger pointing. Zeph shows lots of discomfort when dealing with this kind of tone in Mad Men though.

2. You... vote for wbg, ninja switch to me, ninja switch to prp, meekly say "oh my votes were kind of rash and jumping the gun. It's a mistake but is it really suspicious?" (paraphrase).

A single thread post isn't all that visible, but voting thread posts? Can't bury those too well. And the frequent "typos"? Smiley among bold text = cant miss it. I got lots of reactions from that.

You then accuse him of "feeding the chaos". Personally I don't really see this at all. Has anyone else felt that zephirdd has made this game chaotic? I haven't.

-He is not pro-town. Not at all. No one thought I was a serious issue; he tried to make a case out of one post and is still trying to make something out of nothing.
-And that "mini case" on you? His insta-vote of you turns into an actual case even though he says it means nothing?
-And posting that list of lurkers. Noncommittal.

3. The point about calling town reads scummy and posting town reads is a stretch. He's talking about me being scummy because I posted several town reads without explanation. That's different from saying that it's outright scummy to post a town read at all. I think this is confirmation bias looking for more evidence.

wbg outing masons is a town move because he believes there is scum in the masons; He is outing them in order to pressure them.

VE is town because his posting lines up with cautious blue that wants to protect his supposedly powerful mason role.
Erandorr is dumb, but I'd say he wouldn't be that dumb as scum.

Talismania's posts made sense for me when he posted them, and I still see them as possible town opinions.

prplhz has been baiting scum with certain actions, while making sense with others. He hasn't caused chaos and is doing a good job in keeping the pace of the thread.

Everything else is a null tell.

I hate defending other people. That's their job. I only defend someone when I feel I have someone better to lynch. I don't.

Deal with it.


No quotes, no nothing. This is a lazy post, and there is very little explanation. The "rationale" is all really broad statements. Super broad.

4. Next, you can't just say "this post is swiss cheese. Full of holes" and not point out what the holes are. I mean you should give his case an honest response, not just dismiss it out of hand.

The problem with the case is its inconsistency with Zeph's town posts. in NMMII As town, he wanted cold facts. Now he is emotional, and there is simply not enough evidence in his case on me to realistically be as sure as he is.

5. The last part you should also spell out more. Like you're stating a meta-difference from NMM II to now but you're sort of stating it and going "here, see?" but I'm too obtuse to figure out what exactly is different.


The difference is that in NMM he wants great proof before acting. He does not operate like that here.


1.
Check out who you quoted. Check out the timing of the quote. Check out the discussion going on.
That guy is Bluelightz, the Unreadable. You can't determine his alignment until it's too late for either side.
That was a discussion about policy lynches. I am not accusing anyone(although the "you scum? part" is another example of a bait).
We are discussing policy lynches and useless stuff to get the thread going. On that game, I realized my opening post was terrible - hence the random voting this game, if you care. There is nothing to attack. No one is using terrible reasoning to create suspicion. Besides, Bluelightz is a friend; Who are you? This is your first game here, right?

2.
I made a correct case on that same game on prplhz. He had three posts. You telling me I can't make a case out of one post? Besides, the case is only being incremented every time you post more; That's because you're posting like scum.
I decided my mini-case has less importance than you.
The lurker list is a null tell at its best, why do you care about it? Why are you searching for stuff to accuse me of?

3.
Let me requote myself. I hate defending other people. That's their job. Of course I'm not posting fuckload of quotes or whatnot. IIRC that specific post was made because people wanted to know why I didn't have any real scum read at the time.

4.
Sometimes context is essential. All the FACTS discussion on NMM2 was due to Sinensis making a terrible case on me and getting me angry(hence why scum likes to provoke emotion). You even quoted my emotional burst against him on that game. Difference here is that I see your AtE from the outside; My judgement isn't clouded by emotions.

The fact here is that all your accusations are scummy accusations.

5.
Oh do I want great proof before acting? I made a fucking case out of three posts, and the case was correct. Granted, out of policy I fucked up that game; That just means I have troubles holding confidence over a case. I won't fall for this trap here.

Also, I guess someone from NMM2 is scum here right? Either that or you did a pretty good job in checking my meta; Too bad you're using meta in a terrible way.

If I missed any accusations that you think are worth responding too(aka. if you want to bury yourself more) feel free to ask again. It's been a REALLY busy monday and I'm really not in the mood of answering every tidbit that comes out of you.

Count, reading your posts is like watching a game of Yugioh. OH BUT YOU ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD!!!!!!!1 what the fuck?

First, how the fuck can you tell degrees of emotions in a post? What the fuckity fucking fuck is that fucking sentence, seriously. I am angry when I'm angry, I am calm when I'm calm. Believe it or not, but my emotions aren't entirely based on the game - if I'm angry IRL, I'll post angry here. If I feel calm, I'll answer calmly. Obviously, you took the calm I had with this convoluted post.

You didn't own me. You pissed me off. "owning" me would be lynching me and then escaping from the counter-lynch somehow(because it would warrant a counter-lynch).

Oh, and I can play your stupid game too. Next time you answer me you will either tell me I'm breaking and therefore going away from my town meta, or you will ignore me altogether. And because I told you this, you are going to do something completely different AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS PLANNING ALL ALONG HAHAHAHA Jesus christ.

You don't control my fear. You are indeed pissing me off however. Why do you resort to emotions so fucking much? Because you can't use logic against me, because that's the road a scum has to take to numb someone's judgement. Because I caught you and you want to make sure I am not in my mind to catch your buddies. Fucking no.

In case it wasn't obvious, I'll give you your analysis.
+ Show Spoiler [analysis] +
CountDropula does nothing but AtE
He also creates bullshit scenarios with LOL U DOIN WAT I KNEW U WOULD DO bullshit. That comes from the first "it was a trap" by him

His accusations are scummy because they hold no ground; When counter-argued all he says is "LOL U DOIN WAT I TOLD U TO"



...

You know, there was one time I got so fucking pissed off.
It was Sinensis. Last game. You quoted the post.
I hope you play on my game when it's up. I'll make sure your death will be painfully horrible on the flavor. Yours and Sinensis.

I can't stand this U DOIN WHAT I EXPECTED posts. From you and Sinensis.
And it's obvious that you copied exactly what Sinensis did that game in order to piss me off.

Are you Sinensis' smurf? If not, did you do that on purpose?


[/QUOTE]

Interesting. I missed in there earlier that Zephirdd also has correctly identified Count Dropula as Sinensis' smurf. I think their intention was to shit up the thread and create a lot of drama. Maybe distract some from the case I had made on VE? Ok perhaps I shouldn't think that highly of myself.

Toad, why insta-voting VE? I know you had some suspicion of him, but did you consider that VE sounded overly cautious because he is a mason? That's what I get at least.

Erandorr, why masoning someone who just outted his mason?

So let me get this straight, scumteam is VE+CD+Talismania+(insert 2 random players here)?



Also, people arguing against wbg, learn something: LOGIC > YOU. A player has all right to get mad when he is trying to use reasoning and all you do is shit.

It doesn't sound very legit to me.

I mean, there are inherent risks involved with claiming as DT...claiming through a mason doesn't really mitigate those at all, because surreptitious behavior is often regarded as scummy rather than townie regardless of the intentions - look at the Lynch All Liars policy if you have any doubts.

While I would love nothing more than to lynch talismania, this smells funny. No offense Toad, it's more to do with the manner of the pseudo-claimed DT rather than any of your actions. The fact that you claimed it for him/her is pretty null to me, considering I think you're smart enough to know that claiming that in-thread would be the smart move regardless of your alignment.

what has my alignment to do with this?
Can we argue about wether I bussed him or genuinely wanted to lynch him after seeing him flip red pretty please?

If you believe the DT story and all your worries is MY alignment there's no reason to be afraid.
But as mentioned. I'll leave it with that as I don't know wether or not the guy is a mafia or townie. Yes either he is a mafia or Talis is a mafia but so far it could be both


Also he could be DT and I'm miller.


If Toad is in contact with a DT you're lynched - there's no way you're a miller.

The question is if he's in contact with a DT or not. I think not.


Why not VE? Wouldn't it be incredibly convenient if Toad just happened to find a liar while masoning someone, and that lie just happen to implicate talismania? You seem keen in saving your buddy and voting for me while busing him.

What is bugging me still however is how Toad suddenly can't talk about the mysterious DT. Toad, did you ask him for breadcumbs and reasoning on his checks? Did he explain why would he check you, claimed mason, when the OP clearly states that DTs check roles?

If you can confirm the guy is a DT(even if you only say "np I guess he is legit") I'll support you on this one.

Pieces seem to be starting to match...



Interesting that he goes from having VE as a town read (pretty much the only one he really talks about early game) D1, considers him the only person using logic D2, but then forgets all about that at the start of D3 and now VE is suddenly a part of a conspiracy with me.

Most importantly, how zephirdd responded to being lynched today:

meh, I don't even care anymore. This town... there is a reason wbg raged so hard.

I'll vote the one and only scum ofc, just so I'm not seen as breaking the rules. whatever.


(He then votes CountDropula for some reason. His best move as scum or town is to vote me but he got lazy).

Many flying fucks were given this game huh.

I'm out. Going to movies. gnight guys, glhf



And that's it. Obviously this looks fine if you think I'm scum too (he doesn't want to try to push the lynch onto me in that case). But if I ever end up dying then you should all realize that there's no way he goes down this easily when he could have fought to get me lynched first.

When I'm dead, re-read some of my large posts? Especially on VE.

You remember when you were hosting SSB64? I was town and I was going to be killed, but it meant scum would when the game? How did I respond? Here's a hint: you're the HiroPro of this game.

ps you've played with me as scum before - if you actually think I'm anywhere remotely capable of playing how I've played this game as scum then you've given me way too much credit. And I don't think you would since you saw firsthand what my scum play looks like.

pps toad would you make a setup with 2 DTs, 2 millers and 5 redcheckable scum? Do you really think that's what's going on here is as simple as that there are two DTs with correct redchecks out there?

Would you care to elaborate at all MrZentor? Can you address the GF theory that Talis has laid out and why you disagree with him?

Well we had a red check on Talis and CD was in favor of a Zeph lynch that ended up lynching a mafia instead of just voting Talis, which would have been the easiest way to "store" his vote no matter of talis alignment.

Give me a single reason to think CD is mafia given the situation right now.

What are you talking about? Cd wanted a talis lynch and I pushed the zeph lynch ...

talis has already explained it somewhere, do I really need to type out everything twice?



No marv is right - CD initially posted that he wanted me lynched and zephirdd shot, or, failing a shot, lynched the next day.

In response to lazer as regards the timing of this whole affair:

First, I don't think your plan was to lynch zeph yesterday. It was to lynch me, then zeph on D4. That's what CD posted. But it was pretty clearly better to do it the other way around from town's pov, which you guys maybe didn't anticipate. Regardless, a fake DT claim will lose steam after 3 nights. If you get a red check N1, waiting til D4 to bring it up seems strange to me. Especially since CD was going about pushing zephirdd in the worst way possible as a townie, almost assuring that no one would pay attention (contrast the puppet-master routine with what sinensis was doing in the beginning in attacking zephirdd). Another factor influencing the timing of the bus and bringing the plan out was that I was starting to gain ground, and VE was starting to lose it. After I posted the most damning case in this thread on VE, the next things that happen are that lazer makes a giant post discrediting me, and then sinensis posts his Big Reveal on zephirdd, completely sidetracking things.

_______________


If people still don't buy it:

Why does sinensis check lazermonkey N2?

His stated reason is that he wanted to check someone that people thought was townie in order to bolster his credibility when he made his redcheck claim. That. Does. Not. Make. Sense. Contrast that with how xsebt played his N1 redcheck. Instead, he checked a mason, thinking that he was allowed to talk to masons (instead he ended up breaking the rules). Upon getting the greencheck on toad, he then sent toad the information. that's a perfectly logical way to play out an N2 check with a red N1 check in the bag. Not only do you get another check, but you also eliminate scum possibilities from the masons.

The point I'm trying to make is that the results of N2 check don't actually have any bearing on the "credibility" of the claiming DT. A real DT just makes another check on someone suspicious. If he gets two reds, then fine. He posts that. The credibility is tested by the lynch results. Why does a real DT think the way sinensis has posted? "People aren't going to believe my red check if I don't have a green check on someone people think is town too" What? Furthermore, no one was talking about lazer as scum, but no one was really talking about him as town either (aside from me, that I can recall). He was flying under the radar. If those truly were CD's motivations, why didn't he pick strongandbig? SnB was also suspicious of zephirdd, if I remember right. And everyone publicly thought he was town, evidenced by the fact that toad and I directed medic protects at him.

None of it adds up.
