How this reads to me...
"Oh, I wasn't expecting to be revealed as a cop even though I told someone I couldn't possibly know was town I was a cop thereby potentially opening myself up to a kill from scum negating my entire role! In case he was mafia I lied and said I would target kush right after explaining to the thread that kush was initially a target and could possibly be scum and as I don't know acro is town he could very well have mafia kill me for that!"

If that isn't the worst explanation of something I have ever seen in a mafia game I don't know what is. He later says a scum Acro might have been trying to push him off Kush, but why not just kill you instead? Why doesn't scum look at that and say, "Well he claims to be one shot, but what if he can actually reuse the ability?" then kill him. A town cop doesn't not see this possibility. This only comes up when a scum team member trying to emulate a cop slips up.
this is actually a decent point imo, by far the best point in this post and something we should actually make sharrant explain.
"It's the torso" "only more so!"

I may not have written it in the case, but that would have simply weakened my case and distracted from it. I felt the interaction between you two was important. That's not very concrete so it didn't make the post.

Something that bothers me is that there wasn't really ever a response to my last case. Just a bunch of that's stupid posts along with he's crazy town now. People are now suspecting DI openly in thread. Why? Why now when you didn't respond to my case before?


I don't even.. How can my connection with DI be your ONLY reason for suspecting him when you made a whole case against him without even mentioning me at all? Your thought patterns are so full of holes.

The reason why nobody took your post seriously was because it was too bad to consider. There have been people suspecting DI all game for different (bad) reasons. The situation hasn't really changed to any direction. Acro isn't even really suspecting him now I think, just softpushing him in case he gets a chance to vote for him at some point.

Oh, I'm suspecting him. There's just no point in jumping the gun and yelling HE'S A BLACKFYRE and waving my arms when there are still a minimum of 80 hours before we can do anything about it.


the point is persuading the lords who to lordshoot, that is less than 80 hours away right? thats why im still going on about risen atm anyway

I think DI would be a terrible stabbing, and seeing as I am a lord, I am happy to coordinate our swords in our small council. For the record, I think Risen would be a pretty bad target for stabbing as well. Your case against him was refreshing, but I am not convinced and am really looking forward to his case on Rayn.

You know what. Birds, stone, and stuff. @Xatalos: write up a case on whoever you feel is most deserving and I'll write out my thoughts on Rayn.


I think you're quite deserving but iamperfection keeps saying me you're town so I try to hold back. Otherwise I'm starting to lean town on strongandbig and Koshi. The ones I have mostly started to lean scum on are Risen, jrkirby, Vivax and Ace. I think I've made my point about Risen already at several points in my filter today so let's make a case on jrkirby.

1) Lurking pretty hard but trying to look like he's making some effort at least. This even had me mistaking him as town earlier. But on second thought, this is exactly the most scummy position: overall useless, but appears to be a bit useful. This is the classic scum play.

2) Very soft and wishy-washy in his accusations. I dare you to read through his posts and find even one clear stance about anything. You could argue that about his "scumlist" post, maybe, but it was basically just a list of names that he didn't do anything with.

My discussions with Dandel had me leaning town on him. Like I've been telling both Chrom and Dandel though, I really am not comfortable with Dandel as a lord until I am completely sure he is town. As scum, Dandel knows he will be caught. He will therefore have no qualms about using our house abilities (the KP, the one-shot HP check) in a way that is incriminating as he is going to be lynched or vigged anyway. The hypothetical I layed out was that he'd blow our HP check and shoot the towniest dude in the thread. These are things that would probably be traced back to him in the future, but again it's not gonna matter. Just a total waste of our first cycle abilities. At the time, I had to assume that house KP could even be strong enough to kill someone. So thats another strike. A typical scum player is not trying to be obv scum and therefore is unlikely to be so cavalier with these. The risk of scum Dandel trolling his way to the lynch block and me being wrong with my early town read made him unelectable to me for the first cycle.


Ok, you're leaning town on him, but your afraid of electing him because electing him will allow us to know for sure if he's scum?

Is anyone else thinking this logic is dumb? Catching a guaranteed scum for giving mafia an extra KP and HP check is totally worth it. And you didn't even think that was likely. So... why not vote for him?

Ok, finally caught up again. This thread grew 15 pages while I was reading 10.


People I want lynched/shot:
1) s0lstice. He claimed he didn't want to elect DI even though he thought that could easily determine if DI was scum. Enough reason to lynch right here.

2) sharant. I've heard he has a bunch of PM's but I haven't seen them. When he get into the thread he just starts defending Kush out of nowhere. None of it seems that useful and the evidence is largely meta. Kush hasn't been getting that much pressure anyway, so why does he need to defend like this?

3) oatsmaster. He posted a bunch of useless arguing with yamato at the beginning, which would be good if he had started making scumcases by now, but he's mostly given out townreads with the occasional we should lynch X with no real case.

4) Yamato. He is clearly the scummiest guy in our house. He didn't PM me until nearly the end of N0 for me to realize I got his real username wrong, and also was asking oberyn and onegu to vote for him. His arguments with oats just served to lengthen the thread without any real substance, and he hasn't posted any scumreads with substance.

That seems scummy. It would make sense if he asked acro to stop playing in character, but lynch him for it? Also this is after Oberyn puts his vote on acro. Perhaps he's trying to push a wagon on someone he knows is town.

The rest of his filter seems fine, but that's pretty scummy there.

Finally, why have all the houses not posted a list of their members yet?

I think that it's actually beneficial to town to post these lists, and here's why:

1) Once scum have a list of 5 of the houses, they have a list of every house.

2) in a 24 player game, scum almost guaranteed have 4-6 members. Scum are spread out (I think it's random or something, right?) so they already know probably 3-4 houses at the start.

3) 2 (or is it 3?) houses have already posted their list. There's a good chance this fills in the missing info for scum.

4) All the house lists will probably be posted by day 2 anyway. Scum will only be missing this info for a short time.

5) Scum know all the lords already. This further helps them fill in the gaps.

6) Knowing the houses is not too beneficial to scum. Scum are more likely to want to eliminate every non-scum player in a house than an entire house (based off my possibly flawed logic - they can use this to WIFOM, be careful).

7) Knowing the houses is beneficial to town. We can help predict who will be lord in later days, we can help predict who is likely to be shot. We know who can PM a certain player, so it's easier to find people with reads on them. We don't think two people are on a scumteam together when they're just house buddies. Things are simpler, we don't get confused when REDACTED is posted. The list goes on.

8) Displaying all houses gives more info to town than it gives to scum.

9) Transparency is beneficial to town, and giving out house lists helps with transparency.

I can think of one good reason why we might not want to give out house lists:

1) There might be 3P that wants to eliminate a house, or secondary objectives for scum to eliminate a house. This is entirely speculation though, so I don't put too much weight into it.


4) What originally got my attention was Oberyn's post about yamato and jrkirby not being interested to PM with each other. This line of thought is even confirmed by jrkirby himself:

Could you explain this please?


The first PM I got from onegu was that we should elect oberyn because he was experienced. I PM'd Oberyn a bunch before deciding to elect oberyn, but the campaign kinda started with onegu. Without the association though, this isn't inherently scummy in my opinion.


He doesn't mention yamato at all regarding the process to elect Oberyn?

So there you go. Your turn, Acro.

Really???? Your major case is on a lurker who us noble folk already want to stab? The case on jrkirby is far far simpler than that and there was no need to quote any of his posts.

His D1 was terribad, he has gone afk and from Martell politics it looks like he's in cahoots with Yamato. Lets kill!

Now tell me something I didn't know.

@Acro, I will say in Rayne's defense that he seemed to be genuinely rereading red team's prize to try to improve his read on me and even though he didn't conclude anything from it, it seems rather unnecessary for him to do as scum.

There was no point to be made. He wasn't protesting his innocence. He wasn't catching me out on something that could come from a Blackfyre, he was just being pedantic. While not necessarily indicative of being a Blackfyre, there is clearly no loyalist motive for being so pedantic and sidetracking the conversation, so he had perked my interest.

My next discussion with him was what made me really made me suspect him, and everybody already knows about it, but I will repeat it in different words, just to make it clear, again. Here is my earlier speech, from the archives, and I suggest you read it:

Acro, I'm confused. What are you talking about? Keep in mind the rest of the thread can't read the PMs between you two.

Okay, here's what happened. Not being able to cite from my Maester's records is really complicating this matter.

I told rayn that we were having a discussion in our house about the use of our healing magic and asked him what he thought was the best use of it. In particular, my original question mentioned that it seemed risky to use, as had been emphasized to me by both the Red Viper and Sharrant: if the information falls into the pretenders' hands, they will be able to better use their armies, whereas the advantage for coordinating our own swords seems secondary to this.

Rayn answered with a similar observation, and seemed suspicious of WHY I thought it might be advantageous to use now. I answered that I initially had thought that it could be useful to coordinate our loyalist swords in order to not overcommit on any particular Blackfyre suspect. But I emphasized that the risk was greater than the reward. I also made an allusion to the plan concocted by Sharrant, the Red Viper and myself to perhaps catch Blackfyre scum using our magics, but this plan relies somewhat on secrecy and I am not divulging its workings in public.

This post triggered the initial outburst in the thread, where rayn basically called me out for being a Blackfyre myself based on my supposed will to use the magic immediately. After I recognized what he might have misinterpreted in my original answer, I offered him an olive branch, pointing out what was probably the root of the misunderstanding and thinking I might have overreacted with his "misrepresenting my words".

His response to that was that he would back down from his accusations if I told him about the plan. I don't take well to being blackmailed, and I certainly don't think blackmailing someone is a loyalist attitude. I am now convinced he is a Blackfyre infiltrant who is desperate for this information that might put a stop to their dastardly plans.


A brief summary: he offered to back down from his accusations if I gave him information that could potentially hurt the Blackfyre cause. The details of the plan are irrelevant, because neither he, nor I, knew the "plan" had been posted in public hours ago by this point. He was trying to strongarm me into giving information that a loyalist would not need, nor want. The obvious reason is because he is a Blackfyre

Since then I have been gathering evidence:

Careful probing of Baratheon politics
Raynpelikoneet is very happy to meddle and probe and fiddle and try to figure out what is happening, but at no point does he draw any conclusions. Nowhere does he mention anything about whether anything that happened in Baratheon was a Blackfyre plot. Here are his posts, it is a running commentary, with some slapdash questions: if anything, he is trying to figure out what happened, not whether there were questionable motives involved:

iamp, i am okay with your proposed shot. Lord KP should be used to vig lurkers, at least on N1.
How many of the lords do we want to vig a single target? 2? more? For me 2 seems fine.

As for lynch targets, so far i think:

Solstice - I called his thought process fishy earlier. This is what i meant. Solstice does not want Dandel to be a lord. He says, when Dandel is town, he probably does good stuff as a lord. When he is scum, he will most likely out himself. Then he doesn´t want to elect Dandel, because he can´t be sure if he is town. I don´t like that, at all. By Solstice´s thinking, he should definitely elect Dandel and noone else. It will give him a near 100% read on Dandel, as he himself said. Why does he not want to immediately figure out Dandel´s alignment? Later on he says that "Dandel will out him either way". Has he? I see no mention of Dandel´s alignment by Solstice after that.

<snip>

Remember guys! I was the first to call his logic bad. I didn't draw any conclusions at the time, but now that all of you think he's a Blackfyre, I am ready to support that. Just remember that I got there first! I will now rehash other people's arguments as if they are my own. Completely unconvincing. Also note the lack of a vote. About as non-committal a way of calling someone a Blackfyre as I have ever seen.



The Stark suspicion
Concurrently with the clusterfuck that happened in House Baratheon, the Starks were spilling their dirty laundry as well. Once again, Rayn is very careful to skirt the fray without diving in:

It's not much of a plan if I just tell him straight away "oh I'm fishing for a reaction from you"

You didn´t really answer me. If you are doing a reaction test you will know he will call you out for lying. You MUST have an answer to that (for reference see what i did in NWM N1) before it happens.

Also when doing reaction tests in off thread comm games you basically gotta have a back up. Someone you tell what are you up to before you do it. Without that reaction tests are either stupid or scum. Mafia can after every mistake they make say "oh, it was just a reaction test", and everyone should believe them? So what was your intention during this whole thing that went on N0 in your place?

I'm sure REDACTED will be here at some point and if I'm in danger of being lynched he'll probably share it.
Assume he didn't have a read on me, would you want to lynch me?

If i wanted, i would be voting for you. I do not know, that´s why i am trying to focus on other stuff. I am missing a part of information i fell is important to have a better read on you. Someone can give me that information but 3 people are refusing to do so. It´s retarded.

Eventually, I decided to fakeclaim 1 shot rolename alignment check because he wouldnt tell me his rolename. After I said that, he gave it up willingly. I then came back and pm'ed him that the result was that its a fake role name. Fakeclaim. Which means he is scum. He then said something along the lines of 'ok dude' And nothing else. So that makes me think he is town cause he doesnt have an overt reaction. I dunno. Thoughts guys?

I read all of this and i´m like wtf?
I am clueless..


There are some more, but they are just more of the same

Of particular interest are the one that I bolded in red, and the last one. In both, he desperately wants someone else to take the lead and TELL him what to think of this. My conclusion from reading Oats' response was: I see no reason for Clarity to do this as a Blackfyre. It is at worst, a null tell. Oats' weird reaction test seemed more like it came from a Blackfyre motive, although none of it is very conclusive. But what struck me as weird is Rayn wants people to tell him what to think. If someone else thought it was suspicious he could then easily jump on the wagon.




Chasing lynchbait

In my humble opinion, johnnywup is the most obvious lynchbait in the thread. Rayn spends a lot of time going after him. In fact, it is the only suspect he has not yet recanted on. But he did forget about who his suspects were...

Going through your case I'm really starting to suspect him myself. I have to say this is pretty convincing for your first actually relevant contribution in the game. rayn even feels more suspicious than you basically, and it's very unlikely that you are both scum.

Clarity, how did rayn play like in Titanic?

Anyone who reads the filter will tell you Acro is softer. Whether this is a product of the RP or not is another thing entirely. I don't like how Acro defended me just now, especially in conjunction with my case on Shar.


Yeah, I'm done defending you. I was waiting for a case on Rayn, who is confirmed scum according to you. Instead we get some fucking bonkers connection case on Sharrant. Yes, he's a lurker. But no, he's not scum. He's lurking town, or a fucking ballzy scum. Like, insanely so. I guess he could have looked through my filter and decided I would definitely mention SOME Blackfyre pretender if he asked me whom to check, but I don't get the feeling at all that that is what happened.

All the rest is ridiculous speculation.

Erm.. He spammed. his filter was like 45 pages or something.
He theorized about conspiracy's (like this game)
He focused on little inconsistencies even if they are explained somewhere in the thread (like this game)
He asked peoples opinion on stuff without giving his own (like this game)

He's town or he emulates his townplay extremely well as scum.

Actually he claimed 1-shot cop wayyyy before that. But that was in private, so there's not much I can do except tell you to trust me.

Something that bothers me is that there wasn't really ever a response to my last case. Just a bunch of that's stupid posts along with he's crazy town now. People are now suspecting DI openly in thread. Why? Why now when you didn't respond to my case before?


I don't even.. How can my connection with DI be your ONLY reason for suspecting him when you made a whole case against him without even mentioning me at all? Your thought patterns are so full of holes.

The reason why nobody took your post seriously was because it was too bad to consider. There have been people suspecting DI all game for different (bad) reasons. The situation hasn't really changed to any direction. Acro isn't even really suspecting him now I think, just softpushing him in case he gets a chance to vote for him at some point.

Oh, I'm suspecting him. There's just no point in jumping the gun and yelling HE'S A BLACKFYRE and waving my arms when there are still a minimum of 80 hours before we can do anything about it.


the point is persuading the lords who to lordshoot, that is less than 80 hours away right? thats why im still going on about risen atm anyway

I think DI would be a terrible stabbing, and seeing as I am a lord, I am happy to coordinate our swords in our small council. For the record, I think Risen would be a pretty bad target for stabbing as well. Your case against him was refreshing, but I am not convinced and am really looking forward to his case on Rayn.

You know what. Birds, stone, and stuff. @Xatalos: write up a case on whoever you feel is most deserving and I'll write out my thoughts on Rayn.


I think you're quite deserving but iamperfection keeps saying me you're town so I try to hold back. Otherwise I'm starting to lean town on strongandbig and Koshi. The ones I have mostly started to lean scum on are Risen, jrkirby, Vivax and Ace. I think I've made my point about Risen already at several points in my filter today so let's make a case on jrkirby.

1) Lurking pretty hard but trying to look like he's making some effort at least. This even had me mistaking him as town earlier. But on second thought, this is exactly the most scummy position: overall useless, but appears to be a bit useful. This is the classic scum play.

2) Very soft and wishy-washy in his accusations. I dare you to read through his posts and find even one clear stance about anything. You could argue that about his "scumlist" post, maybe, but it was basically just a list of names that he didn't do anything with.

At the time, I had to assume that house KP could even be strong enough to kill someone. So thats another strike. A typical scum player is not trying to be obv scum and therefore is unlikely to be so cavalier with these. The risk of scum Dandel trolling his way to the lynch block and me being wrong with my early town read made him unelectable to me for the first cycle.


Ok, you're leaning town on him, but your afraid of electing him because electing him will allow us to know for sure if he's scum?

Is anyone else thinking this logic is dumb? Catching a guaranteed scum for giving mafia an extra KP and HP check is totally worth it. And you didn't even think that was likely. So... why not vote for him?

Ok, finally caught up again. This thread grew 15 pages while I was reading 10.


People I want lynched/shot:
1) s0lstice. He claimed he didn't want to elect DI even though he thought that could easily determine if DI was scum. Enough reason to lynch right here.

2) sharant. I've heard he has a bunch of PM's but I haven't seen them. When he get into the thread he just starts defending Kush out of nowhere. None of it seems that useful and the evidence is largely meta. Kush hasn't been getting that much pressure anyway, so why does he need to defend like this?

3) oatsmaster. He posted a bunch of useless arguing with yamato at the beginning, which would be good if he had started making scumcases by now, but he's mostly given out townreads with the occasional we should lynch X with no real case.

4) Yamato. He is clearly the scummiest guy in our house. He didn't PM me until nearly the end of N0 for me to realize I got his real username wrong, and also was asking oberyn and onegu to vote for him. His arguments with oats just served to lengthen the thread without any real substance, and he hasn't posted any scumreads with substance.

That seems scummy. It would make sense if he asked acro to stop playing in character, but lynch him for it? Also this is after Oberyn puts his vote on acro. Perhaps he's trying to push a wagon on someone he knows is town.

The rest of his filter seems fine, but that's pretty scummy there.

Finally, why have all the houses not posted a list of their members yet?

I think that it's actually beneficial to town to post these lists, and here's why:

1) Once scum have a list of 5 of the houses, they have a list of every house.

2) in a 24 player game, scum almost guaranteed have 4-6 members. Scum are spread out (I think it's random or something, right?) so they already know probably 3-4 houses at the start.

3) 2 (or is it 3?) houses have already posted their list. There's a good chance this fills in the missing info for scum.

4) All the house lists will probably be posted by day 2 anyway. Scum will only be missing this info for a short time.

5) Scum know all the lords already. This further helps them fill in the gaps.

6) Knowing the houses is not too beneficial to scum. Scum are more likely to want to eliminate every non-scum player in a house than an entire house (based off my possibly flawed logic - they can use this to WIFOM, be careful).

7) Knowing the houses is beneficial to town. We can help predict who will be lord in later days, we can help predict who is likely to be shot. We know who can PM a certain player, so it's easier to find people with reads on them. We don't think two people are on a scumteam together when they're just house buddies. Things are simpler, we don't get confused when REDACTED is posted. The list goes on.

8) Displaying all houses gives more info to town than it gives to scum.

9) Transparency is beneficial to town, and giving out house lists helps with transparency.

I can think of one good reason why we might not want to give out house lists:

1) There might be 3P that wants to eliminate a house, or secondary objectives for scum to eliminate a house. This is entirely speculation though, so I don't put too much weight into it.


4) What originally got my attention was Oberyn's post about yamato and jrkirby not being interested to PM with each other. This line of thought is even confirmed by jrkirby himself:

Could you explain this please?


The first PM I got from onegu was that we should elect oberyn because he was experienced. I PM'd Oberyn a bunch before deciding to elect oberyn, but the campaign kinda started with onegu. Without the association though, this isn't inherently scummy in my opinion.


He doesn't mention yamato at all regarding the process to elect Oberyn?

So there you go. Your turn, Acro.

Really???? Your major case is on a lurker who us noble folk already want to stab? The case on jrkirby is far far simpler than that and there was no need to quote any of his posts.

His D1 was terribad, he has gone afk and from Martell politics it looks like he's in cahoots with Yamato. Lets kill!

Now tell me something I didn't know.


So we agree, it seems. Why didn't you mention these points I mentioned before then, though? Or did you somewhere? Maybe some of them, but truly it shouldn't hurt to flesh out a case.

I'd say you didn't know about Risen's inconsistent thought process before I mentioned it.

CONFIRMED SCUM LURKING ON PURPOSE

Hmm. Well, he shouldn't be a priority kill but he should be put under some heavy pressure. He has focused on all the wrong things so far, I agree with that.

I knew Risen's inconsistent thought process from way back in the day. As should you, because we met him at our very first tourney and he was just as fucking ridiculous as he is now.

I have to say that he fooled me with his crazy upside down logic at the Chrono Trigger tournament, where he used it to great effect as a traitor to our cause. But Risen playing like Risen does not really surprise me at all.

The ones I have mostly started to lean scum on are Risen, jrkirby, Vivax and Ace. I think I've made my point about Risen already at several points in my filter today so let's make a case on jrkirby.

1) Lurking pretty hard but trying to look like he's making some effort at least. This even had me mistaking him as town earlier. But on second thought, this is exactly the most scummy position: overall useless, but appears to be a bit useful. This is the classic scum play.

2) Very soft and wishy-washy in his accusations. I dare you to read through his posts and find even one clear stance about anything. You could argue that about his "scumlist" post, maybe, but it was basically just a list of names that he didn't do anything with.

Ok, you're leaning town on him, but your afraid of electing him because electing him will allow us to know for sure if he's scum?

Is anyone else thinking this logic is dumb? Catching a guaranteed scum for giving mafia an extra KP and HP check is totally worth it. And you didn't even think that was likely. So... why not vote for him?

Ok, finally caught up again. This thread grew 15 pages while I was reading 10.


People I want lynched/shot:
1) s0lstice. He claimed he didn't want to elect DI even though he thought that could easily determine if DI was scum. Enough reason to lynch right here.

2) sharant. I've heard he has a bunch of PM's but I haven't seen them. When he get into the thread he just starts defending Kush out of nowhere. None of it seems that useful and the evidence is largely meta. Kush hasn't been getting that much pressure anyway, so why does he need to defend like this?

3) oatsmaster. He posted a bunch of useless arguing with yamato at the beginning, which would be good if he had started making scumcases by now, but he's mostly given out townreads with the occasional we should lynch X with no real case.

4) Yamato. He is clearly the scummiest guy in our house. He didn't PM me until nearly the end of N0 for me to realize I got his real username wrong, and also was asking oberyn and onegu to vote for him. His arguments with oats just served to lengthen the thread without any real substance, and he hasn't posted any scumreads with substance.

That seems scummy. It would make sense if he asked acro to stop playing in character, but lynch him for it? Also this is after Oberyn puts his vote on acro. Perhaps he's trying to push a wagon on someone he knows is town.

The rest of his filter seems fine, but that's pretty scummy there.

Finally, why have all the houses not posted a list of their members yet?

I think that it's actually beneficial to town to post these lists, and here's why:

1) Once scum have a list of 5 of the houses, they have a list of every house.

2) in a 24 player game, scum almost guaranteed have 4-6 members. Scum are spread out (I think it's random or something, right?) so they already know probably 3-4 houses at the start.

3) 2 (or is it 3?) houses have already posted their list. There's a good chance this fills in the missing info for scum.

4) All the house lists will probably be posted by day 2 anyway. Scum will only be missing this info for a short time.

5) Scum know all the lords already. This further helps them fill in the gaps.

6) Knowing the houses is not too beneficial to scum. Scum are more likely to want to eliminate every non-scum player in a house than an entire house (based off my possibly flawed logic - they can use this to WIFOM, be careful).

7) Knowing the houses is beneficial to town. We can help predict who will be lord in later days, we can help predict who is likely to be shot. We know who can PM a certain player, so it's easier to find people with reads on them. We don't think two people are on a scumteam together when they're just house buddies. Things are simpler, we don't get confused when REDACTED is posted. The list goes on.

8) Displaying all houses gives more info to town than it gives to scum.

9) Transparency is beneficial to town, and giving out house lists helps with transparency.

I can think of one good reason why we might not want to give out house lists:

1) There might be 3P that wants to eliminate a house, or secondary objectives for scum to eliminate a house. This is entirely speculation though, so I don't put too much weight into it.


4) What originally got my attention was Oberyn's post about yamato and jrkirby not being interested to PM with each other. This line of thought is even confirmed by jrkirby himself:

Could you explain this please?


The first PM I got from onegu was that we should elect oberyn because he was experienced. I PM'd Oberyn a bunch before deciding to elect oberyn, but the campaign kinda started with onegu. Without the association though, this isn't inherently scummy in my opinion.


He doesn't mention yamato at all regarding the process to elect Oberyn?

So there you go. Your turn, Acro.

Really???? Your major case is on a lurker who us noble folk already want to stab? The case on jrkirby is far far simpler than that and there was no need to quote any of his posts.

His D1 was terribad, he has gone afk and from Martell politics it looks like he's in cahoots with Yamato. Lets kill!

Now tell me something I didn't know.


So we agree, it seems. Why didn't you mention these points I mentioned before then, though? Or did you somewhere? Maybe some of them, but truly it shouldn't hurt to flesh out a case.

I'd say you didn't know about Risen's inconsistent thought process before I mentioned it.

I knew Risen's inconsistent thought process from way back in the day. As should you, because we met him at our very first tourney and he was just as fucking ridiculous as he is now.

I have to say that he fooled me with his crazy upside down logic at the Chrono Trigger tournament, where he used it to great effect as a traitor to our cause. But Risen playing like Risen does not really surprise me at all.


I wasn't talking about his utterly terrible reads. I was talking about his inconsistent logic regarding his "suspicion" of me and DI.

Oh, and my thoughts on jrkirby's terribad D1 are in my post about him on D1 and where I bloody well voted for him. There really wasn't any point in making a monster case. You click on his filter and see that he was absolutely bloody useless. Why waste words?

I may not have written it in the case, but that would have simply weakened my case and distracted from it. I felt the interaction between you two was important. That's not very concrete so it didn't make the post.

Something that bothers me is that there wasn't really ever a response to my last case. Just a bunch of that's stupid posts along with he's crazy town now. People are now suspecting DI openly in thread. Why? Why now when you didn't respond to my case before?


I don't even.. How can my connection with DI be your ONLY reason for suspecting him when you made a whole case against him without even mentioning me at all? Your thought patterns are so full of holes.

The reason why nobody took your post seriously was because it was too bad to consider. There have been people suspecting DI all game for different (bad) reasons. The situation hasn't really changed to any direction. Acro isn't even really suspecting him now I think, just softpushing him in case he gets a chance to vote for him at some point.

Oh, I'm suspecting him. There's just no point in jumping the gun and yelling HE'S A BLACKFYRE and waving my arms when there are still a minimum of 80 hours before we can do anything about it.


the point is persuading the lords who to lordshoot, that is less than 80 hours away right? thats why im still going on about risen atm anyway

I think DI would be a terrible stabbing, and seeing as I am a lord, I am happy to coordinate our swords in our small council. For the record, I think Risen would be a pretty bad target for stabbing as well. Your case against him was refreshing, but I am not convinced and am really looking forward to his case on Rayn.

You know what. Birds, stone, and stuff. @Xatalos: write up a case on whoever you feel is most deserving and I'll write out my thoughts on Rayn.


I think you're quite deserving but iamperfection keeps saying me you're town so I try to hold back. Otherwise I'm starting to lean town on strongandbig and Koshi.

OOC, because describing meta in character is a pain in the ass:

I have to admit it feels a lot like his stance at the start of Chrono Trigger (where he was smurfing and was scum). He explained his way out of it by claiming to be batshit insane. Pretty much the same as he has done here. But I'm not sure that's part of his scum meta, or just part of his Risen meta. Given the other games I've played with him I tend to believe the latter.

I can't get a bead on him, but using fucked up bonkers logic to paint literally anybody as scum seems to be his usual play, not his scum game. He does it as scum as well, though.

At this point I'm not opposed to just shooting him in the face, though. He yelled that Rayn is scum, but refuses to say why and the impression I got from his town games is that he is more active, whereas as scum he tends to go awol for long stretches of time.

Because there are several useless players in this game. But jrkirby is a shining beacon of scummy uselessness among them. That's an important distinction.

How this reads to me...
"Oh, I wasn't expecting to be revealed as a cop even though I told someone I couldn't possibly know was town I was a cop thereby potentially opening myself up to a kill from scum negating my entire role! In case he was mafia I lied and said I would target kush right after explaining to the thread that kush was initially a target and could possibly be scum and as I don't know acro is town he could very well have mafia kill me for that!"

If that isn't the worst explanation of something I have ever seen in a mafia game I don't know what is. He later says a scum Acro might have been trying to push him off Kush, but why not just kill you instead? Why doesn't scum look at that and say, "Well he claims to be one shot, but what if he can actually reuse the ability?" then kill him. A town cop doesn't not see this possibility. This only comes up when a scum team member trying to emulate a cop slips up.
this is actually a decent point imo, by far the best point in this post and something we should actually make sharrant explain.

I actually agree with this too. I just don't get the feeling that that is the way it went down. But I'll let him explain.
