Portals can be a scum ability. If so it's possible they won't claim it (because if may incriminate him..and also to incriminate austin like you said yourself).
Portals are most likely the list swap thing, which like I said is most likely from scum

Okay let's try this
##Vote: JingleHell
I think I convinced myself with that "devils advocate" thing I wrote above lol. Also it's the only way I can make sense of the Nisani check and in my head that theory I made makes sense.
At least until he and ghost come back.

This game would have been boring (to me) and pretty shitty if I hadn't claimed and everybody bandwagoned against me today and unanimously got me lynched and then town lost. Also with S&B/Matt/ghost/Jingle/Hiro barely active most of the time this game has been me+you+austin arguing ever since D3 basically. Unless you had fun doing that 
I intended only me to claim, but meh I guess my checks forced other guys to claim as well.

Well, you'd just be "wrong in your reads".
I'd be stressed as fuck spending all D4 trying to convince people I'm town in a futile attempt and get lynched while nobody listens to me and then go "meh, gonzaw was scummy" as soon as I flip and instantly get over it while I then go to the obs qt and see I got every single read wrong and weep for hours in front of the mirror. ...okay maybe I don't weep for hours in front of the mirror...but still it's not really a pleasant situation/set of situations to be in.
I'd prefer ending the game in a high note by catching the scum no matter the method (analyzing claims and speculation or scumhunting or both) rather than end up feeling shitty while playing and then feel shitty after I play.
Although that's kind of irrelevant. This "massclaim" happened, you feel shitty about it, I don't. Although I don't think I would have really wanted it to happen though, I just wanted to claim not get lynched, then maybe lynch austin or ghost/Mattchew (what I thought back in N2).
|
Also I kind of find a fascination with claims and fake-claims and that kind of stuff. Like, trying to use your head and figure out what happened and how it could have happened and who's lying based on what you know makes you feel like a detective, and is super cool (at least when you get it right).
I remember there being a "logical" game out there were everybody was a tracker/watcher and scum had fake-claims and it was a whirlwind of night actions and shit and you had to make sense of them and try to logically find out who was scum and it was cool as hell to read. Pre-Edit: Oh yeah it was this one
I guess there's some stuff like that in this part of the game which makes it interesting.

ghost, answer these questions and react accordingly:
- Why did you swap places some nights and not others? If you thought Keirathi was scum on N1, why didn't you swap places with Drazerk and check Keirathi for instance?
- Assuming Hiro is telling the truth, why were you able to swap places with Hiro on N2 if he redirected your power onto me? You didn't swap places with me. This is of course assuming the only action done on Hiro was yours.
- Assuming the above is true and Matt is telling the truth, then the power would be redirected at Keirathi, who didn't swap at all
- If you got a town check on JH on N1, why did you accuse him of being BS in this post?: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=372174¤tpage=52#1022
- Like someone said above, could you explain the weird stuff you posted?
- Why didn't you do shit to try and stop the Drazerk lynched? I mean...I assume you thought your checks were legit right? Why didn't you oppose the Draz lynched, or maybe even claimed to stop him from getting lynched?
- Why did you decide not to swap places on N3 with austin for instance and check me?
- Are you sure you checked the guys you checked? Was your report "Keirathi is town" on N3? If Matt is telling the truth, you actually checked HiroPro.
However, my tracking reports work like this: If I track player X who visits player Y but X is bussed with player Z, then I receive a report on who Z visited. That means I get "Player Z visited Player M", which means I'd know I visited the wrong guy who was bussed. If this is true, and I extrapolate that rule to your DT checks as well, I'd assume you'd be the same. I.e if Matt is telling the truth, you'd receive a "HiroPro is town" check last night. However this is not what you claimed. So are you lying, is Matt lying or does your role work entirely different than what would be expected (maybe your DT check is bus-proof like Drazerk's vig shot)?
Answer all those questions, and again....react accordingly

A specific player since he visited you (assuming my report is correct....which at this point I think it is as long as ghost is telling the truth).

Also, if ghost is telling the truth then my Jingle=Framer theory is false, since Jingle can't frame himself and Nisani on N1 at the same time, and I doubt he's GF like GlaDOS.

Well, Matt obviously doesn't care about this game anymore and about finding scum. I'd instantly get him lynched over that except for the Chell thing. If the whole "Chell can't be RS" is true....then at worst he's BS. If the remaining RS wants to try to use my alt-win-con he will have to kill Matt, so if Matt's BS it's possible RS would try to kill him (or try to get him lynched) It's improbable though.
I'd want to deal with a BS Chell once we kill all RS so there can't be any problems with my new traitor status (if the RS is still alive there would be a lot of trouble).
His claim brings some conflicts with what other people stated. The Hiro/Keirathi check from ghost is one, and depending on what ghost says we may have a liar between the 2 of them, and it's possible it's Matt. If he's really bus driver, I don't really know why he'd lie about his actions? I mean, if he's the sole remaining BS then his ability isn't that much useful so he can easily use it "pro-town" (target 1 scum and 1 town to get the scum shot) or appear so and not lie about his reports. If he lies about his reports he can get lynched by there being conflicts (like this ghost one).
If he's really busdriver then he's telling the truth most likely. If he's not busdriver and ghost is town...then it's possible he just got caught. Although everything points out that he's really Chell (proven by my role PM) and he's busdriver (flavour wise makes sense, and fake-claim bus driver seems kind of stupid for a scum with different powers), and so his reports are correct (since he'd have no reason to fake them, specially if he doesn't know what other people did and he could get caught pretty easily by lying).
I hope that's the case though. Again, even if he's Chell, real busdriver and his reports are correct he could still be BS....but again that seems unlikely, no matter how bad his play has been since N1.

What does Matt have to do with the player swap?
Imagine ghost is town and Matt is BS....Matt has no idea about player swap and maybe just like us never noticed the ghost+Hiro N2 swap. Even if he's BS lying or something he could have claimed without taking into account the swaps
We can safely assume ghost is responsible for the swapping, whether he's town or scum. And again I'm barring weird cases like ghost+Matt being scumbuddies and planning some weird shit, since again I don't think there are any team larger than 2 here (if there were they'd also be more proactive by now...you know, considering this could be a form of LYLO to them and they could easily win with a BS/town misslynch today).
Anyways, the conflicts I've found with ghost's claim are these: -He visited and swapped with Hiro on N2 even though Hiro claimed he redirected an action done on him on me -He claimed he visited Keirathi last night and got a town check, but Matt bussed Kei+Hiro so he should have gotten a check on Hiro
Either I misunderstood the situations, or either ghost is lying or either both Hiro and Mattchew are lying... I think this may have a little bit from both (maybe I did understand things wrong), but the 2nd situation doesn't look good at all for ghost.
Considering ghost got a town check on Jingle and like I said Jingle can't be 2xframer (I assume), if ghost is town Jingle is likely town.
Could we assume something like this?: Scum: Hiro+Mattchew or ghost+Jingle
In the 1st case, ghost told us the truth about everything and Hiro and Matt fucked up their fake-claims for not taking into account what ghost would claim. In the 2nd case, JH is scum, ghost fake-claimed later a green check on JH to save JH's ass for now (i.e both scum want a misslynch today, not a lynch on the other guy), but ghost didn't notice the small details from Matt's and Hiro's claim so fucked up those. I think the Hiro thing might be a misunderstanding though...since it doesn't make much sense since it seems ghost did visit Hiro and swap with him regardless of alignment (meaning the swap never redirected)
Maybe I'm oversimplifying things though

No, Draz's role said that if he uses his vig target he overrides his Copycat one. I.e if he uses his vig shot on N1 he can't use his copycat ability that same night
+ Show Spoiler [RolePM] +Welcome to Aperture Mafia 2: Portal Edition! You are Cave Johnson, The Persistent Copycat Vigilante. You founded this great company, and if there is one thing you learned is when faced with a problem, throw money at it! Your great fortune and charisma allows you to buy and copy the abilities used on you. Each daypost, you will recieve a random ability used on you the previous night. You will not be told what ability you recieve, because all that sciency stuff is for the research monkeys to understand. Each night you may target a player to use this ability on. Your incredible influence allows your stolen abilites to go through anything, meaning they will hit their target unless you are roleblocked. In the place of your normal power, you may use your last combustable lemon to deal 1 kp to someone. this KP goes through Roleblock and bussdriver effects (not medic). You win with the town.
So if he got bussed on N1, I don't think he was able to copycat the power since he wasted it on the vig shot. I don't know if the "combustible lemon" means he can never use the copycat thing again....if he could then he would have known ghost DT checked him on N2 since that's an ability done on him, and therefore he would have been able to use a DT ability himself and claim it or let us know. Of course if he received this ability on D2 he hasn't used it yet since he was lynched that same day.
If Ghost is scum, JH still town
Why is this? Because of the Mattchew vote again? If ghost is BS then we can't know...but it at least means that Hiro and Matt told the truth about their roles...plus considering the IAMP push it means they can't really be RS (also the Chell thing), and that leaves very little suspects for RS, mainly you+Kei+S&B+Jingle. If Kei+S&B are town then that leaves either you or JH. Right now I'm inclined to believe JH is scum over you, because of previous reasons... ...or maybe S&B is scum and we should have listened to Drazerk all game long and lynch him >_> <_<
|
Well...I'm leaving in like 2 hours to uni and I'll be back right before the deadline I think. If when I come back I start reading the thread I may not be able to update anything in the thread or change my vote/etc (I'd have to read pretty quickly).
Meaning....I'd prefer to leave my final vote before leaving...which can't be done if neither Jingle nor ghost (or at least Mattchew :/ ) show up.
Let's make this clear again: today we lynch the remaining Aperture Science member Yes, ghost can be BS but fuck I want to get rid of all RS first. The thing is that it may be more "obvious" that ghost is BS, but it's not obvious who other player is RS.
Is it Jingle, Hiro or you (I also take it I'm in that suspect list from some of you)? Or in a weird plot twist maybe it was S&B all along or some shit. Meh. If you guys want to play it safe go ahead and lynch the BS then...but I'll try to keep my vote on the RS before I leave to uni.
|
I dunno.
Everybody in this game other than me and Keirathi is scum, I'm sure of it. Maybe not you, since at least you are making an effort right now even though you could still be scum talking out of your ass. But shit everybody else just doesn't care about this game at all, even with all this interesting shit that's going on and we having the possibility to catch all scum right now.
Yes, maybe there are 5 scum out there and everybody else was right. GG scum, well played you fucked my mind.
|
Yeah...I don't think I'm doing what you think I'm doing since I have no idea what you are implying and i don't really have a secret plan other than "find all scum today and get this over with". If I'm doing it I have no idea I'm doing it 
Meh, fair enough, I won't start arguing against those points because: -I already explained them so it's useless -I had to explain myself way later than when the actual events happened. I don't have a database of all my emotions and thoughts when I make every single post so I may remember things incorrectly or misinterpret them once I try to explain them later (for instance maybe I didn't unvote IAM "just because of the momentum" and there was something else, but if there was I don't remember and me looking back at those posts makes me think it was because of the momentum thing).
Also, me thinking Drazerk being town is just me being awesome (for like 10 minutes though, then I started sucking again )

Yo S&B who will you vote for, which claim do you believe and how do they hold up with your reads?
|
I win when:
- If either Chell or GlaDOS are still alive until endgame:
I win when town wins and RS and BS are all dead
- If both Chell and GlaDOS are dead:
I win when either:
- I am alive and RS wins
- Town wins (and I'm either dead or alive, doesn't matter)
So if red scum wins but chell is still alive do you lose?
Yes because I'm still a townie
Basically how it seems to me is that as long as matt is alive you don't count as red scum, but once matt dies you count as scum for the "faction>other factions" and for the calculation of KP so we probably have to lynch you as soon as matt dies.
No. If Matt dies you guys better lynch the RS (assuming it's only 1 remaining). Let's assume first that all the BS are dead and there's only 1 RS remaining. 1)If I become a traitor and you guys lynch me, then you still have to lynch 1 RS in the next day. 2)If I become traitor and you guys lynch the RS, since there are no more RS and BS town wins and so do I.
As you can see that 2nd scenario is better for both town and me even if I become traitor. In (1) I can't win with the RS if I'm lynched. Once I die I can only win with town so I'd be rooting for you guys to lynch the RS. The only way I could possibly root for the RS is if it's LYLO and me+him can act like RS and win instantly....but then again if that happens and he outs himself we can just lynch him and I can win with town lol. The point is that in a scenario (at day time) where I can win with RS I can also win with town so unless I'm lynched I wouldn't really care about either, and like I said I'd probably side with town since town is my BFF and RS is a big meanie 
Ehmm, well actually maybe if I become a traitor I could act "pro-town" while the RS is still alive, and misslynch someone else so I can win with the RS in a next day LYLO? Meh, I doubt that's possible since I don't know the RS's identity, so unless I say "Let's lynch Keirathi!" I can even lynch the RS by mistake even if I decide to be "pro-town".
In (2), as soon as you guys lynch the RS town wins the game, with me.
Some of these reasons are why I want to lynch the RS today....so we can just forget about my alt-win con and play the game normally.
Ehmm...I don't know if I count for calculation of KP though...Grey didn't tell me that >_>
Pre-Edit: Oh I think I do, Grey told me "I count as a member of the mafia" once I become traitor...so I guess I count for their numbers and KP? Geez that sucks.
|
I dunno, if I ever become traitor your best bet can be just ignore me if you think I'm acting anti-town and lynch the RS by yourselves.
Either way I can win with town no matter what so that can still benefit me (even if I suddenly become a dick and want RS to win).
One point is certain: I'm townie now so unless I'm playing against my win condition by trying to get Mattchew killed so I become traitor so I can win with RS then everything I said is true and comes from a townie-point of view (although is that playing against one's win-con? That's kind of confusing).
|
Hopefully there is only 1 RS left so I don't count for their KP thing (2/1 rounded up is still 1)
Anyways, going to uni, good luck people.
|
Sorry lied after I saw that post I had to stay >_>
My PM doesn't say Chell it says Chell (I just put it blue to make my post pretty)
Also did you think that maybe I didn't think that much before posting? As soon as I realized I count for mafia's KP I thought it sucked because well...it does.
|
Okjay I'm back.
Woot 10 minutes before deadline. Quick, do I need to change my vote or something? I need to read the first since I left
