I would also like to make it known that we are lurching ever forward in time and as the deadline approaches, there are many people who I would like to hear from:
Sylencia - I queried you earlier and received no response. AxleGreaser - I thoroughly enjoy our intercourse and await your return so that we may converse more. Stutters - Your contribution to this game has been severely lacking in my opinion, and there is a great deal for you to comment on. You may choose the topic, however I expect something with weight to it.

I don't remember Shiao's meta. That being said he's put himself "out there" and although it's for silly reasons it makes more sense for a town player to do this than for a scum player to draw extra attention to himself. He's not qualified to be mayor because he's not you me or VA, I don't remember him making big plays. the only advantages to a guy like shiao being mayor is that it gives scum a harder decision of who to shoot at night. I mean also he's probably not scum so I prefer him over a rando, but there you have it.
If I can't see you or VA stepping to the role, I'm in for it, since my usual tactics work infinitely better with twice the votes to back them up, but without the D1 "pick the lynch" power it's just not as enticing.
As for VA, I have been nothing but impressed by his play that I've seen. He's been a capable scumhunter, and he utterly hoodwinked me in Les Mafia. Whereas most of the player list is cluttered with jubjubs and followers (if you're reading this, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the other guys), VA is smart. He's not a veteran in terms of games played but for his excellent play in my interactions with him I consider him a vet. That being said, the guy DID utterly hoodwink me, which means the fact that I have a townread on him is meaningless. I can't catch him when he's scum-- or at least, not yet. Anyone that good I'd keep an eye on-- but if he's town, he can use the power wisely. Given my strong townread on hapa though I see no reason to entrust VA with the power.
Oh man with hands and mouth of fire, I believe there are unanswered queries for you in my filter that you had informed me (or someone named granny man?) that you would be responding to.
I believe your words were: "I'll get right on it?"

Yes, that would be the post, thank you.
While you are at it, Blazinghand, are you the type to back down when admonished? Does this Hapahaulli play the role of 'thread police' often?

I don't remember if hapa plays the 'thread police' very often but he seems unusually butthurt this game so just be nice to him. Interesting. This term 'butthurt' is new to me.
Let me sync up with an online database. Butthurt: An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Characterized by strong feelings of shame. Frequently associated with a cessation of communication and overt hostility towards the "aggressor." Adam got butthurt when Mike stole his bitch.
Do you think that this Hapahauli is personally insulted by your play or shamed by it? He certainly does not seem to me ceasing communication.
As far as being nice is concerned, my AI did not include high levels of emotional response. I suppose I have behaved thus far in a way one might deem as 'being nice,' yet I do not know if I have the capability to cause one to be 'butthurt.'

Blazinghand, I ask politely that you respond to the following section of my earlier post. Related to this is the answer given to me by this Blazinghand regarding his top mayoral candidates. He goes into great detail explaining his regard for this Hapahauli and his seemingly monstrous ego belies what he thinks of himself, which is acceptable, though I do not feel the same earnestness when he speaks of this VayneAuthority.

He brings up a past in game in which he was impressed by this VayneAuthority's play as a man of the scum variety, yet nebulously brings up the interactions he has with the man regarding his town play and his scumhunting. I have not seen anything this game that shows this as evident, therefore I must believe he is impressed with VayneAuthroity's play from past games, yet why not reference these and only the scum game? It is also curious that right at the end of this paragraph he seems to back up on the strength of his lauding of this VayneAuthority saying he sees to no reason to entrust him with the mayoral candidacy...could this be because he also realizes right here that his scum game is what is most to be feared from the man and not the strength of his town game? I also personally have not seen anything from this VayneAuthority this game that shows him to be a strong town player; he himself admits to me that he is a much better scum player than town player and plays the way he does simply to survive. I do not regard this as strong town play, yet this Blazinghand does, for unknown reasons. Yeah so basically I initially said this: Show nested quote +On June 10 2013 03:22 Blazinghand wrote: I'm not complacent with blindly voting him, but that is because I don't see anyone here as qualified to be mayor except for me, hapa, and VA-- and until I have solid townreads on either of them the only trustworthy one of the lot is me. because coming into this blind I percieved 3 players who I've played with before who are good. Me, hapa, Vayne. The initial statement was "i'd only consider these 3" since they're the only qualified ones. Hapa and me for obvious reasons, vayne because he schooled me last game. Now, I don't know if i came off correctly when I was trying to explain why i was voting hapa and vayne, but basically i was saying "vayne is qualified, but have a townread on hapa". the idea is that i think (or thought, at the time ) of vayne as a good player based on my previous play. As a scum player he looked a lot like a town player, and yeah obviously that wasn't a town game but a guy that smart has gotta make a good town player, right?well apparently not, he claimed cop D1. so yeah, vote hapa I am not sure your answer is sufficient. You said you were impressed by his play. Are you referring to the single game in which he 'hoodwinked' you as scum? Were there not other games in which he played with you? How did he perform in those games? You call him a veteran in terms of play. I have seen what a 'veteran' such as this Hapahauli is capable of and this VayneAuthority has shown nothing by comparison. Given the way you view yourself as similar to this 'veteran' status, I find it very hard to believe you'd lightly throw a term like this around and give it to VayneAuthority when it is extremely clear to one such as me that he does not deserve it. You are capable of fairly good analysis, I assume? Why give this VayneAuthority such an honoured title that early in the game without any real analysis or reasoning?
You seem to me as someone who does not enjoy being proven wrong. Am I wrong about this? You have admitted you were wrong about the town play skills of this VayneAuthority so this must not have been easy for you to do---you only admitted to it when I repeatedly brought it to the attention of the thread. You seemed perfectly content to move on to your new read of calling him 'bad' without drawing attention to your mistake.
On that note it seems very easy for you to do as such; calling people 'jubjubs,' appears to denote your perceived superiority towards other people in the thread, yet you cower and back down not unlike a dog who has urinated on clean upholstery being scolded by its master when confronted by this Hapahauli. Would it be fair to assume you will only attack those whom you perceive to be 'beneath you?' Is this more likely to be a scum or town trait, or is it non-alignment indicative?
What I am truly unsure about is the degree to which you actually care about your ego. I would think you're more likely to discard this ego as a scum player in favor of lying, but I cannot, of course, be sure.

Like none of this has to do anything with scumhunting. BH thinks I'm town - why does it matter what his feelings about my play are? As I am not delving into past games to determine alignment, for players I may be having trouble understanding it suits me to attempt to figure out what each player is thinking, capable of, and even feeling in order to determine a specific mindset.
If you find that irrelevant that is your prerogative, however I do not deem it so.

ShiaoPi. Perhaps you should lay a vote on somebody in the next 4 minutes if you do not want to be modkilled. Fair warning should be given regardless of alignment I feel to uphold the spirit of the game.

At this point since you will cease to exist anyway you have nothing to lose, no matter how inane or irrelevant it sounds to you.

Why do you speak as if you know for a fact that there are two scum? It is possible in a setup such as this to have two scum; there are many dependent factors including power roles and the presence of third party roles as you have mentioned.
I have never heard of the presence of multiple third party roles in a game, especially in a small game such as this.

I am curious as to why you feel the need to portray this false confidence to the thread. You do not know for certain that Oats is scum, nor do any of us in here. Telling us thusly does not help out your case, nor does playing the martyr.

It seems as though the crushing weight of gravity has claimed yet another innocent victim. I felt (and still feel) the cases were good, thus by nature I cannot offer much remorse as to my actions as I was simply performing my function. As the game progresses, however, I am still attempting to make up for the wrongs I have caused in the past.
It is of course possible since no one quite yet understands the true nature of gravity that one does not face complete obliteration upon entering a black hole; rather they may escape unscathed somewhere else entirely. It is my hope that this fate befalls you, jampidampi.

The bolded section makes a great deal of sense; it is a great deal of responsibility for one man to bear, however, especially one who largely led a mislynch on the first day of action. I suppose if the man is town-aligned though he is likely to want to use his newfound power for fear of it being transferred to someone who is not friendly to the green cause. It is unfortunate that we do not know whether or not we may be able to protect this Hapahauli either way; were I a different robot I could offer up a Leaf Shield or Star Crash but alas, I am not. My power is only useful for manipulating the very forces that hold the universe together.

If you are not currently otherwise occupied, I have some queries for you that I feel would help me gain a better understand of you. If you would answer them I would be greatly pleased. Do you have any reads on scum other than this VayneAuthority? What do you make of the altercation between the Oatsmaster and this Blazinghand? You mention that you are often lynched early in other games. Why is this? 1) No, not really, everyone is acting really erratically this game and it's making things kind of difficult to work out. 2) That argument was actually rather annoying - flamefests just spam up the thread uselessly and demoralises the town side most of the time. I don't even feel like there was anything productive that came from it... 3) Lurkerish, lynchbait, scum jump on my weak cases etc. etc. Unless Jampi shows up soon (he said he would be here around now right?), I'm going to put a vote on him going mostly on Hapa's reasoning. ##vote Jampi I am unsatisfied by Sylencia's answer to be earlier queries of him. To say that 'everyone is acting erratically' is offering absolutely nothing of use to the town, his answer given regarding the earlier altercation was simple and arguably the 'right' answer. He appears afraid to take a stance of his own or speak out and attract attention.
His final point that he is 'lurkerish' and 'lynchbait,' concerns me, however because while this may be true, he is pre-emptively offering up an excuse as to his play in this very game. I certainly do not want to remove anyone from this plane of existence that is a member of the town who may appear to be scum, however given no other options I find it possible that this Sylencia could be a mafia member. At the very least he has not been useful to us thus far, and that is often what vigilante-type roles are used for, are they not?
