JAT, sicklucker, let's sort out geript later. You guys are no better than batsnacks if you spite-vote geript for a stealth vote

Guys. Stop. Haven't you heard that ancient Chinese proverb? Ride two horses, fall on your ass when they both run in different directions?

Something like that. You get it.

Please stay on batsnacks. It is a much better vote. We can smoke out geript when we have more time to figure out wtf he's doing. Vote for the guy who's suspicious not for the guy who did one weird unexplained thing please.

But there is no reason for geript to do that. He called marv 100 % mafia. Why isn't he voting him if he wastes his vote anyways?

Maybe he has a Vivax case he's making near the end and hasn't posted it yet? (I've been waiting for this to drop actually)

Whatever it is I really do not want to lose the batsnacks lynch. I think my case on batsnacks is much better than "I don't get what geript's vote is doing so I want to kill him"

And to be clear I do NOT like geript's vote at all, either. He'll have to answer for it. But I want to make him answer for it and kill the guy I feel much more certain on

Taking a break btw, will check back before I go to bed to see if geript has answered and followup appropriately. Vote count analysis to come sometime before end of night.

More importantly why didnt you pay attention and notice you wasted your vote?

This, basically. I have a hard time believing that geript didn't realize what he was doing. His vote came after batsnacks took the lead for good.

geript is my kill for tomorrow until further notice.

Not being on a town flip? I'm not sure. My concern is more that I think he's not coming clean about his vote.

Honestly sicklurker's posts during the wagon were bothering me a bit, looked like he was egging it on a bit. But ever since we started talking about geript after the flip he's said what I was thinking so I'm not really sure what to do with him.

Alright, here's some vote count analysis. First, the count, hidden behind double quotes for readability. Added green for batsnacks' flip.

Not Voting: folks

Currently batsnacks is set to be lynched.

until deadline.


First thing I want to look at is outliers, because I think they tend to be easier to figure out. The three wagons at end of day were Chyz, geript and batsnacks, so all other voters are defined as outliers here. They are:

Superbia
ritoky
Koshi
geript

Additionally the nonvoting RebirthOfLegend can go here.

Superbia:
Has all of two posts in the game, neither of any substance. Says ritoky claimed mafia with their big reads post without explaining why, votes ritoky and then bails for the rest of the day, not bothering to convince anyone to vote for ritoky. Ignores JAT asking for an explanation, no one else really seems to care either way.

I don't like this. For all I can derive from Superbia's thought process from this vote, this might as well be a dice roll vote. There's nothing here for me to make any sense of. If Superbia is town and believes ritoky is mafia then why not try to convince anyone to kill ritoky? And if Superbia doesn't then why completely abandon the thread and not bother to try to figure out who is mafia?

ritoky:
After the vote (which came between his big reads list post and his next post itt), ritoky only brings up the case on sicklucker once... when sicklucker questions him on it. Spends most of the day being engaged in other discussions and feeling out other players for their direction, but doesn't push the case on sicklucker. And it's not even not pushing it because of a change of heart or anything, as far as I can see. The case is just dropped altogether without any mention, like it never existed. After talking to sicklucker there's only one passing reference to the suspicion at all (responding to GlowingBear and saying they were "on the same page" concerning, among others, sicklucker).

This is really suspicious considering how aggressively ritoky pushed early in the game. Even allowing for a change in posting style due to time constraints resulting from ER work, you figure that if ritoky is still sure about the read on sicklucker that there'd be some effort to push it. And ritoky can't even claim to have had a change of heart, because sometime during ritoky's last burst of activity, (s)he posted an updated vote count including the vote for sicklucker. I feel like if I were a townie here and I had posted that vote count update after suspecting sicklucker, and I had internally changed my mind about sicklucker being mafia, posting that I was voting for sicklucker would be a wakeup call. Like "whoa, wait, I'm still on that guy? I need to move my vote."

Koshi:
Arrived at suspicion of Vivax about an hour before posting a vote, pressed Vivax on a few key questions during that hour, pushed the hell out of a Vivax lynch before going to bed at a time which 100% syncs up with his irl location.

Sorry that was short but this looks clean as can be. Only reason Koshi was on an outlier was because of a lack of time to push the case once it formulated. Koshi is probably town.

geript:

This is garbage.

Vivax wasn't a viable wagon at all when geript posted and geript had enough time to see that. It was 20 minutes before the lynch. The switch wasn't even last-second, it was last-hour. At the time he voted Chyz was in no danger of being voted off. How do you check in to a voting thread and vote for someone who isn't a viable wagon out of fear that either you or someone else who isn't a viable wagon is going to get killed? And especially if you "get why Bat was sketch," how in the world do you have a hangup about voting for him and instead park on an outlier?

And then there's this gem shortly before:

On January 02 2015 12:23 geript wrote:
Vivax is probably an ok lynch but I'm not actually sold that he'll flip mafia.


So now it's checking into a voting thread, voting for someone you're not even sure is mafia who also isn't a viable wagon out of fear that either you or someone else who isn't a viable wagon is going to get killed.

geript has a lot of explaining to do. Doc asks a good question about why mafia!geript does this in light of batsnacks flipping town; I feel like the answer that came to mind for me (not wanting to be a town wagon) isn't a very good one, and it's still the best one I have. But I don't get the townie mindset that leads to ^^^that.


TL;DR
ritoky, Superbia mafia
geript wtf

What's up? I don't feel like messing with vote count analysis any more right now.

What do you think about geript? I feel like his explanation is obviously BS and yet at the same time it's hard to understand why he wouldn't just put the nail in town!batsnacks coffin if he were mafia.

It's not that Koshi stuck to his guns, it's that when I read through his filter and ctrl-f'd for Vivax and found where he started thinking Vivax was mafia, everything else he did for the next ~2 hours where he pushed Vivax and asked questions and whatnot fit 100% with someone noticing something suspicious -> probing it to see if there's anything to it -> discovering something to it -> voting and pushing. It just looks like a townie mindset all the way to me.

Well the main thing is that after he leaves the thread he comes back like he's ready to take the game seriously and then this. if he's scum i could see him just going into panic mode and doing something stupid, if he was town he would have been putting up a bigger fight this whole thread I think. I think there's no way that all town is involved in this like sicklucker seems to think, it was a great lynch at the time and everyone hit the panic button on it

I tend to agree re: geript. I'm trying to be charitable and find reasons not to kill him because the two posts I quoted have me seeing red, but I don't get it. It was a good lynch.

Also tending to agree that that wasn't an all-townie play but I don't know who to look at per se. Artanis is the first person that comes to mind for a couple of reasons:
- of the people who ended up voting batsnacks, he sticks out most in my memory as egging me on
- of the batsnacks voters, he was on Chyz first, not geript; that's where I think a mafia trying to swing a lynch away from geript would be
- he bounced from the thread immediately post-flip; admittedly not a strong point given the time in the Netherlands but it seemed a little abrupt
