There are people in this town who seek to destroy your hopes and dreams. By day, they manipulate and coerce you into doing their bidding. By night, they silently approach your homes and then kill you without mercy. Only a cruel, stone-cold, heartless person could live in this manner. We are the mafia. You cannot win. If you have a power role, please state it here, and you might be killed less painfully. | ||

I'm ignoring the entire thread, and instead being useless and distracting the people who are playing the game properly. This is valid. 2. If you have a reason to scumread me other than that, I think it's terrible? Are you thinking of meta based on my opening in Student Mafia V?

Superbia's only answer was 7, and I don't think that is true....i'm not actually sure that you're wrong why did he narrow it down to 4 or 5 if he didn't know how many mafia there are? The recent Titanic mafia was 17 players, with one third party, so 16 players. There were 4 mafia. I believe the standard large games (Carol of the Bells, Imperial Mafia, for example) have 5 mafia. Thus, I expect this game to have 4 or 5 mafia. I'm asking because I feel that it is helpful to know how many mafia are in the game. Maybe you disagree, but I would like to know. And I don't have enough experience to really know if there would be 4 or 5 mafia, especially not compared to many of the players in this game. | ||

Eden isn't a moron, I'm sure that if he actually is scum, he would say the same thing.Well then I'm excited that you've given eden an out if he did infact slip. And I have two other reasons to say that this isn't a scumslip. 1. Look at Eden's tone. By saying the specific name of the miller, he shows that he's read the first page to find out what the miller is, which contains the phrase You are not aware. So, it's extremely unlikely that Eden didn't know that the miller was unaware. Furthermore, if he wanted to claim as scum, he would have said straight-out that he is claiming, not this indirect reference. Thus, I'm inclined to think that Eden is joking. 2. Eden townread rsoultin very strongly, and very early in the game. And he did this knowing that he wouldn't be able to provide good reasons for it, much less explain this read to the thread. I don't really see why mafia!Eden would want to do this. | ||

Leaning town on rsoultin, Eden, and Alakaslam so far. Holyflare would also be a townlean, but I'm not sure what to make of his early interactions with Alakaslam, once I finish reading I'll probably ask a few questions to get this sorted out. Sicklucker could very well be scum, but I have some reasons for doubt. Notably that he's been more active, and the point that Toadesstern brought up about one of the reasons he is being scumread actually being not alignment indicative. I need to look into sicklucker more tomorrow. | ||

Superbia, that's all I have to say at this very moment. I don't like sharing thoughts until I am completely caught up. Toadesstern, I said that I thought one of your sentences had suspicious wording, and asked for what other people thought about it. That's not a scumread. | ||

In Down Under 2, Alakaslam was wagoned for most of Day 1, but never actually defended himself. He was scum. Perhaps aggressively defending himself is a sign of being town? And I am well aware that I am both ignoring and using meta on Alakaslam simultaneously. Deal with it. | ||

I do a post like that every game I played recently and the tone changes most of the times. Depends on wether I prepare it ahead of time or wether I'm posting while doing something else. And he ran into exactly the same mistake. What I'm saying is that there's no way he'd repeat that mistake after that crushing defeat in hammertime without at least checking. That's the important point here. He got wrecked and doesn't care in the slightest bit while knowing everything he said last time about me was wrong already when he tried to read me that time | ||

You're saying a lot of pretty sensible things and asking questions that are showing me you're paying attention, but I'm not sure who you suspect. I think the Holyflare/Alakaslam argument boils down to some misinterpretations (pending an explanation of what a confirmation read is). So I don't think it is particularly alignment indicative, except for Alakaslam being willing to attack Holyflare. I thought I found a pretty terrible contradiction in sicklucker's filter, but I realized I was misinterpreting a post. I'm still on page 22, and as much as I'd like to keep playing, I really need to go to bed or I'm going to sleep through class tomorrow. I'm sorry I don't have any actual reads yet. At this very moment, sicklucker is probably the best lynch for reasons others have stated already, but I'm not sure if they are truly alignment indicative. I'll take a look tomorrow. Good night, all. | ||

I think it was interesting, but I could see the fake-claim coming from either alignment. I thought trfel's hard defense was much more interesting. I was wondering why he was willing to defend eden like that. In retrospect I actually completely forgot about it. Looking at his filter now it seems like he seemed unsure about eden prior to FF bringing up the fake claim. Which makes the hard defend more strange. Trfel, any input on this? Also I hesistated on Eden for a slight moment when FF came out with the info, as I said before. As it stands, I think my town read on Eden still holds somewhat solid. | ||

As for it not making Palmar scum, Palmar's played really lazily for many games lately (Linux, Down Under 2, etc). Palmar also really likes to use tonereads. I can understand Palmar seeing Toadesstern's opening, and remembering it being different from the heavily formatted, fancy, and pristine opening that he used in Hammertime Mafia, and saying that Toadesstern is scum for it. I wouldn't actually expect Palmar to check Toadesstern's other games here (which clearly show that Toadesstern's opening post isn't alignment indicative). And if Palmar only knows Toadesstern's play in Hammertime Mafia and this game, his scumread of Toadesstern wasn't that horrible of a play (I would still disagree, but not that horrible).I actually have a question for you. So you were talking with toad about his palmar scum read and you were basically along the lines of you don't really see it as palmar being scummy. I'd actually agree with toad that it is. So palmar reads toad as scum for reasons and cbf's explaining them so jsut spams kill toad. Toad gets lynched and is town. I know that you trefel are very self conscious when you are wrong even if your case is really good and you try to change things so you don't make the same mistakes. Why then do you think that palmar isn't doing that and seemingly ignores past mistakes. Obviously you arn't the same person but would you not think that it would cross palmars mind that oh I read toad as scum for doing this and he was town. Toad is doing these things again maybe this isn't a reason to call him scum. I guess the difference is probably that I have different expectations for Palmar than you and Toadesstern do. | ||

In addition, while (until he started being wagoned) Vivax wasn't very active, his filter seemed aggressive enough to me, and Damdred's case felt exaggerated. The primary point being that it appeared like Vivax really did push Superbia, it's just that he was unable to get many others to agree with him.

Why? Before the final swell of signups, the vigilantes (town and mafia) were listed as having two shots each. Now, they are listed as having one shot each. That makes me extremely likely to think that there is in fact a vigilante in this game. There might be more than one. But that still seems unlikely. Thus, I think that Vivax's claim leaves him at a fair risk of counterclaim. | ||

I don't see mafia!Toadesstern claiming vigilante here to secure a lynch on Vivax. That seems like a bad play, with the potential exception being if raynpelikoneet is mafia (but raynpelikoneet already claimed tracker, so I don't think Toadesstern's counterclaim vigilante would be necessary). Thus, I believe Toadesstern's claim. The question then becomes if Vivax should be lynched. I do think it is possible to have two vigilantes in this game, somewhat unlikely, but very possible. Half the Sky does like vigilantes. | ||

What will probs happen is that the town vig will get RB (they might not even have one) and the mafia vig wont shoot so that could be even better since the town vig willl still be alive and soak up a RB | ||

Vivax seems to have an extremely incorrect view of my level of play. Vivax was my coach in my first game ever, and then he played in my second game ever (Carol of the Bells). We haven't played in the same game since then. In my first game, I was killed Night 1, and in my second game, I led a lynch on scum and was killed Night 2. Since then, I have led a large number of mislynches, not truly led a scum lynch, and was only night killed once (due to incorrect reputation on Night 1, I was on a plane for much of Day 1 in that game). My two most recent games were losses in 3p and 5p LYLO, due to me not being able to make correct reads. Vivax, don't shoot me. I'm town. You really don't want to do that. But if I spend all my time trying to convince you not to shoot me, I'll just derail the thread, and I won't be able to find scum. I hope you can understand why I felt your play post-Toadesstern counterclaim was scummy and contradictory. I'm going to go read this game, and I'm going to try to avoid interacting with the thread so as to not distract myself. | ||

I had two reasons for lynching Vivax. 1. Poor and inconsistent play after Toadesstern's counter-claim. 2. Helping to resolve the vigilante mess, since night actions are very likely not to do it. Much of my reason for townreading Vivax was because of the non cc'd vigilante claim. Other than that, I did not have a good town read on Vivax, I just didn't want to lynch him on Day 1.. This is a significant difference. On March 21 2015 05:04 Trfel wrote: "I wasn't really liking a Vivax lynch" isn't the same as "Vivax is town".Well...... ##vote raynpelikoneet for now. I wasn't really liking a Vivax lynch anyway (based on the first 4 pages of Vivax's filter and Damdred's case). Raynpelikoneet's filter feels weaker. I would never have decided to lynch Toadesstern there. Toadesstern counter-claimed when that would be a poor play for mafia to do. He was very forceful about pushing the lynch, as well, and I had a light townread on him for his push on Palmar (despite disagreeing with the Palmar scumread). After both you and Toadesstern claimed, Toadesstern was never a lynch possibility. It was either you or someone else. And your play made me confident that you were the best lynch (in addition to not liking the Bill Murray push). I know I said I wasn't going to interact, but I'm going to get shot.... and I can't allow that to happen. | ||

Well, you decided I was scum before, and tried to push me more afterwards. You claimed my push on Toad was illogical when I kept posting about him through almost the entire day. Much of the reason I voted for you initially was because I needed to have my vote somewhere (the deadline was getting close). With Toadesstern's counterclaim, I felt you were the best choice at that time. I tried to search for alternative wagons, however without me having read the game, and no one else being willing to discuss alternatives, that wasn't really possible. Your actions were rather scummy, and so I kept my vote on you. I don't understand what exactly you are scumreading me for. | ||

So, now you want to shoot me, because I made an error and wanted to lynch you. Despite a bunch of other people who think I am town. If you really are town, you shouldn't be using your vigilante bullet for personal grudges. You are experienced, you know very well that people are wrong a whole lot in mafia. You can shoot me here, but that won't gain you anything other than getting rid of someone who wanted to lynch you. And it will lose you your chance to kill mafia, and it will remove one more town from the game. | ||

"I tried to search for alternative wagons" " Your actions were rather scummy, and so I kept my vote on you." 1. Vivax was counterclaimed, thus I vote for Vivax. While recognizing the possibility of multiple vigilantes, there is also a very distinct possibility that there is only one. In addition, some experienced players (specifically Vivax and Toadesstern themselves) were very convinced that there was only one vigilante. Vivax was very stubborn towards Toadesstern, and this played a reasonable role in my initial decision to vote for Vivax. 2. I searched for alternative wagons to Vivax and Toadesstern. This is exactly what a townie would do? And what a townie did? 3. Vivax continued to be stubborn and inconsistent, so I kept my vote on Vivax. I don't see how you can convincingly refute this at all. You can say that Vivax was frustrated because of the counterclaim and not thinking clearly and with complete logic, and that's acceptable from a town point of view. However, I don't think it's more likely than Vivax being a scrambling scum. | ||

I specifically remember asking about sicklucker and LightningStrike. But no one was interested at all, no one responded, so I let that drop.trfel how can anyone discuss things with you if you just said you hadn't read the game? if you "tried" to look for alternative wagons, how did you go about that? have you read anything yet? I've read the first 40 pages of the game carefully. I read from some page before the claims through the lynch, and I've read the last few pages. I've glanced through a few filters and cases that people said were important. I did what I thought was best with the information I had. Being well over 50 pages down when the lynch was happening, I thought it would be better to get summaries from other players and reread key parts of the game than trying to read the entire game or just reading filters and making my decisions 100% on my own (no context that way). I do want to go read the game, but if I get shot, there isn't much point of that. If town!Vivax shoots me, that would be extremely bad for town, so unfortunately that takes precedence over trying to read the game. If Vivax agrees not to shoot me, the first thing I will do is stop posting and go read the game properly. I don't have any reads on anyone at the moment, it would be premature for me to do so until I read the entire game, and then reread several filters more carefully. + Show Spoiler [If you must have reads...] + Here's what I'm thinking right now, though again, my reads are quite likely to change once I get some more time. I still lean mafia on Vivax, although it seems that his actions post-lynch were townie, and I haven't read that part of the game. Artanis[Xp] switched to townread on Vivax, so that indicates that Vivax is probably town, even though I don't know why and my own, limited read says he is mafia. I'm still skeptical of raynpelikoneet. Not sold on the tracker claim, not sold on his level of play. It seems noticeably below his play in Mini Mafia Down Under 1. But the night actions ought to help with raynpelikoneet. I'm somewhat suspicious of Holyflare as well. I like how he was very aggressive to start wagons, notably his early pushes on Alakaslam and sicklucker. However, I don't think the sicklucker push was terribly alignment indicative (of sicklucker), and the Alakaslam push boiled down to a few misunderstandings (as both Holyflare and Alakaslam later realized). In addition, Holyflare is aggressive as mafia as well (Linux Mafia). The one strange thing about Holyflare is his push onto Bill Murray. That was a pretty bad push. In a critical stage of the game (two claimed vigilantes up for lynch), Holyflare made a (self admitted) terrible push against a fairly inactive player. And now he blames it on being drunk. Were it not for the Bill Murray push, I would put Holyflare as town, but now I'm not so sure.... | ||

It's safe to assume that Vivax was in fact roleblocked, and that he is in fact a town vigilante. My question is, why didn't mafia kill the tracker (raynpelikoneet)? I suppose they could have roleblocked him, but two roleblockers seems strange for mafia. Killing Onegu instead of claimed tracker raynpelikoneet seems particularly strange, especially given that mafia killed Holyflare, the other part of the supposed mason pair. | ||

And I just happened to get the track role (though I suppose a bullet would have done the job as well). Honestly, I didn't see how the rolecheck would be of much use, so I was trying to go for a more outside chance at mafia, one that was more likely to carry KP. You fit as a player who was suspicious, but not overly so, thus a very good chance at carrying KP. A lot of it was based on Damdred's analysis having you as scum, and Superbia's filter not looking that bad to me. So I'm sorry, it was largely an accident. And had it not worked out for me, you guys would be in a much better spot, since I would be an easy mislynch. | ||

But believe me, I'm right on this. I assume that all of the following people are town. Vivax fake-claiming vigilante is not actually a 100% terrible move. As the leading lynch, fakeclaiming wouldn't be too horrible. Still, I really doubt he is fake-claiming as VT here. He is either going to be scum or vigilante, with high probability. Toadesstern is either vigilante or mafia, there is no middle ground at all. Town simply doesn't fake counter claim to get someone lynched. Onegu might be fake claiming here, small chance. Rsoultin wouldn't fake claim as VT here, there is no incentive for that, and it would provide false information for town. Basically, if any one of these people is fake claiming, I would be very likely to try and lynch them. Nothing is for certain, and people are stupid, but if one of the claims is fake, the chances are far greater that the person in question is mafia than VT. | ||

But, if you are planning on claiming, it could be wise to wait until Day 3. That way, mafia has less idea of what to do with their night kills. If you are town, you can think through this and decide what is best. No one else really knows the situation you seem to be hinting at. | ||

Rsoultin's alignment is not related to Toadesstern's, and is not related to Onegu's. Rsoultin is town because of ExO_, who is claiming a green check on her (regardless of ExO_'s alignment, rsoultin is town). The only way that rsoultin is mafia here is if she is the godfather, and this is even more unlikely (given the multitude of other reasons to townread her). While it is somewhat unlikely, I suppose it is possible that Toadesstern is mafia here. I just think he's much more likely to be town. Artanis[Xp], if you really think that I am mafia here, you still have to believe that I actually did have the orb. Otherwise, someone would have counterclaimed it. And then, you have to believe that I used the tracking ability. Otherwise, it would come up later, and that would make me look more suspicious. If my plan was to bus LightningStrike, I needed to point the orb at him, that way the KP option would be a successful bus. Thus, there is only a 50% chance that I would be able to incriminate LightningStrike using the orb, as the rolecheck and roleblock options wouldn't do much (and roleblocking has the extreme danger of keeping Holyflare alive...). Vivax, why do you think that raynpelikoneet is town? | ||

If Toadesstern is town here, which is quite likely, I am very suspicious of Onegu. I think it's simply much more likely that Onegu was carrying KP and it got roleblocked than mafia deciding to shoot both masons. This might also explain why raynpelikoneet is alive and not roleblocked (assuming he is town...), since Onegu could have been sent to kill him. Furthermore, Onegu would have been a natural choice to carry the scum KP. | ||

Everyone be nice, please? Particularly looking at Toadesstern/Vivax here... Again, while it is possible that Toadesstern is mafia, it is unlikely. Everyone else has explained this better than I could... Artanis[Xp] could be mafia here, but I still find that unlikely due to his filter length. I shadowed Artanis[Xp] in Imperial Mafia. He revealed that he really doesn't like playing as scum, and he said that the next time he got scum, he would just not care and let himself get lynched (this happened in Student Mafia VI, fairly recently). I can't argue that Artanis[Xp] isn't possible of playing at this level as mafia, he certainly is. But I don't think that he would in this situation, especially given that before the game began he was talking about the frustrations of playing in large games and how he would only portions of the game. I looked at what Holyflare and VisceraEyes said about Artanis[Xp]. And I have a few problems with just blindly sheeping dead people. The first one is that new information changes reads. Second, Holyflare pushes suspicion at a wide range of people in his games, and I would be pretty surprised to see Holyflare not scumread Artanis[Xp] at some point. Furthermore, Artanis[Xp]'s statements in question don't seem good from a town perspective, but I don't see much motivation from them coming from a mafia perspective, either. The main reasons that Artanis[Xp] could be scum are inconsistency between words and actions, and not providing very many original reads. I'll check this later, but for now, I think that Artanis[Xp] is probably town. Raynpelikoneet and Onegu are going to have to do something impressive to make me not want to lynch them. Of course, the night results should shed a lot of light on this (and the claimfests in general). So I won't discuss this until tomorrow. I suppose I could see Artanis[Xp] and Toadesstern being mafia together. And I could see raynpelikoneet and Onegu being mafia together. At this point, those feel like the most likely possibilities to me (though there is an extremely high chance I am wildly wrong). | ||

I have read the first 40 pages of the game, and from a point shortly before the vigilante claims through here. Unfortunately, I missed stuff in between, which includes the reasons why raynpelikoneet was scumread, but I'm assuming those reasons were good. Vivax claimed vigilante, which puts raynpelikoneet as a high suspect for the lynch. I can see town!raynpelikoneet claiming here, if he really is tracker. That makes sense to me. However, I would also expect mafia!raynpelikoneet to claim here. Tracker is a good claim, because as a niche role, it's not likely to get counterclaimed. So, I'm still suspicious of him, because his claim does little to dissuade the initial reasons to scumread him (whatever they may be). Raynpelikoneet tracking his townread, Vivax, makes little sense to me. However, I'm not sure that it says that much about raynpelikoneet's alignment (perhaps someone else can explain this eventually). However, if raynpelikoneet is fake-claiming, tracking Vivax makes a lot of sense, as Vivax was roleblocked, so raynpelikoneet knew he wasn't going anywhere. And Onegu (who I scumread for being roleblocked by rsoultin, while mafia is missing a KP) claimed mason with raynpelikoneet. Which makes me a little more suspicious of raynpelikoneet. Raynpelikoneet's play since his claim has been less than impressive. He's pushed scum on a ton of different people, for very illogical reasons, generally just attacking people who disagree with him. That doesn't help his case, but apparently he's like that when he's mad, so I suppose that can probably come from town!raynpelikoneet as well. | ||

I think it is reasonable that Onegu saw raynpelikoneet in trouble and claimed mason with him without asking first. Then, raynpelikoneet didnt accept the mason claim (either because it risks revealing both of them as mafia or because he didn't read the thread and didn't see what Onegu was doing, which seems quite likely). Is it an uncoordinated play? Yes. But I think it's still reasonable. I don't think their alignments are tied together. But I still think that it is very likely that Onegu was carrying KP and rsoultin roleblocked it. I don't see mafia shooting Onegu here when they were already shooting his mason buddy Holyflare, and leaving claimed tracker raynpelikoneet and obvious blue ExO_ alive. | ||

I have reasons for my actions, but it's not worth going into them. If you would like, we can discuss the right/wrong thing to do after the game. Eden, you are currently scumreading raynpelikoneet, right? If he isn't tracker, that leaves us with 2 vigilantes, 1 jailkeeper, and 1 cop (assuming no masons).

Raynpelikoneet's claim aside, any mafia reading the thread would realize that ExO_ was extremely likely to be a blue. He was leaving hints to being blue all over the place, and furthermore, I commented on it twice. It was kind of impossible to miss. I don't think shooting mason Onegu (when partner Holyflare is getting shot already) or shooting VisceraEyes (who was often scumread and made one sentence saying he may or may not be blue) can be at all considered better than shooting ExO_ in this case. Do others agree with this analysis? | ||

That means they will probably roleblock the vigi who is not mafia (yes, and i assume Toad is mafia -- so that would be Vivax here). Most likely the scum that is not a vigi (assuming there is one between them) is not going to do anything or is going to claim they shot mafia night kill. So it really does not matter which one of them i track, but it will give a 100% confirmation what one of the CLAIMED BLUES did. Had i tracked someone else they can just claim vanilla (or rather, i would not have claimed my check at all until later) and if i miss mafia/town PR i get no info at all.

In the same way, I don't see Onegu voting for LightningStrike as saying much about Onegu, since while he did push LightningStrike into the voting lead, he did so with seven hours remaining, and the votes still very spread out and fluctuating. I think voting a partner into the lead is a fine play for scum to do here, as the risk is rather small. And I don't townread people who are staying out of the main wagons with several hours to go before the deadline. There is plenty of time for stuff to happen, plenty of time to save LightningStrike if things go bad. In fact, I think it makes sense for scum to push the counterwagon to LightningStrike with something more like three hours left to the deadline, and not earlier. Especially in a large game like this. And I don't see what the switch to Bill Murray provides, except those who switched to Bill Murray instead of the vigilante Vivax are more likely to be town (sorry Vivax!). But even that isn't confirmed, as scum was readily willing to roleblock Vivax, solving that problem. Palmar wasn't in a position to hammer Vivax, so I don't townread him for hammering Bill Murray instead. Same with raynpelikoneet. So I don't townread them for doing so. LightningStrike's vote even further cements Vivax as town. And that's the only thing I really see in the voting analysis at this time, unfortunately. What am I missing? However, this obviously ignores what players were actually doing in the thread, and is based on votes alone. | ||

Toadesstern is an extremely capable mafia player, and there was incentive for him to fake claim vigilante where he did as mafia. First benefit is securing the mislynch on the vigilante, Vivax. The negative to this is that Toadesstern would be heavily suspected on Day 2, but there is still a reasonable chance of Toadesstern being able to avoid the lynch with good play (not guaranteed, but it is possible). Second, after Vivax's claim, the most likely lynch targets were raynpelikoneet (who claimed tracker to avoid the lynch) and LightningStrike. LightningStrike has already flipped scum, so Toadesstern had additional motivation of protecting LightningStrike. Finally, Toadesstern was a high risk of being shot by the vigilante Vivax. I can see mafia!Toadesstern making tihs play. I also note that Toadesstern stated that if Vivax flipped town vigilante, Toadesstern should automatically be the next lynch. This simply isn't true, but is a good incentive for people to vote for Vivax. This suggests that perhaps Toadesstern was more interested in lynching Vivax than solving the game. As for Artanis[Xp]'s confirmed town list in general, it's extremely good. I feel that Toadesstern is the weakest link. I also highly doubt that the game really is this easy, since I've never yet played in a "solved" game where this was actually correct (though you could argue that we were right in Linux when we thought the game was over, but that's questionable...). While the list makes a lot of sense, and I want it to be true, and it probably is true, I can't give a free town pass to everyone on it. Note that suspicion on Artanis[Xp] somewhat increases if he is proven wrong on any in this town list (but I won't discuss my small suspicions of Artanis[Xp] at this time). Eden gets a 95+% townread purely for gameplay. Vivax gets a 95+% townread for gameplay and his vigilante claim. Rsoultin and ExO_ are 99% town for claiming jailkeeper and cop, respectively. I'm willing to essentially confirm these people as town. The rest of the people on the list are extremely likely to be town, but at some point there might be a small chance I would lynch them. I don't think there can be any argument about townreading the four names I listed, and also myself (more on that later). Fecalfeast could possibly be added to the list depending on the quality of his case on LightningStrike and the circumstances of it, but I haven't read that part of the game yet Damdred, if it makes you feel better, I read your analysis posts and used them as my summary of the pages I missed. They are extremely helpful. And it's the quality and the quantity that makes you town. Honestly, if people skip well-constructed posts like that, they shouldn't be playing mafia in my opinion. Hi, ritoky! Remember last game? I sure do. You won't beat me again. Ritoky claiming VT right away seems like a terrible move as town. If he knows nothing about the game, claiming VT right away seems extremely stupid. I wonder if he went to the scum qt and someone yelled at him to claim VT right away, and he did so. Also, did you guys really have any doubt that someone who claimed scum and posted a baby seal would flip scum? I suppose it's possible that I am mafia here. But this is extremely unlikely. Here's why. It's in spoilers because it's long, and not terribly important unless someone actually wants to lynch me, but I already typed it up, so I might as well post it. + Show Spoiler + I have claimed to have the orb on Night 1, and this hasn't been counterclaimed. Therefore, the orb went to me or one of my scumbuddies. Due to tracking, and coming up with this crazy idea in the first place, it can be safely assumed that I had the orb. I bussed LightningStrike completely. This basically means that LightningStrike asked to be bussed, and the mafia team decided that I would do it. This actually isn't terribly unlikely, as LightningStrike did (before End of Night) say that he was not wanting to play any more, and after end of night he said that he was disappointed at being caught. And I wasn't in the best of spots before this. Still, the chances of this happening aren't amazing. Third, I used the orb. And I got the tracking ability. Each ability can only be used once, and my guess is that even if roleblocked, you are informed what ability was chosen (even if it doesn't go through). So, if I didn't use the orb, I put myself at extreme risk of someone else getting the tracker ability and claiming it. It is possible that the orb will exist for only three nights, and thus not all four abilities will be used, but mafia wouldn't want to count on this. + Show Spoiler + On a somewhat unrelated note, if anyone does counterclaim the orb tracker ability, I accept a lynch if town is not at LYLO or MYLO. The reason for this is upon my flip, the person who counterclaimed can be lynched, and I will 2 for 1 mafia, which is quite good. If you are town and lie to lynch me in this way, you get the "worst player ever" award. If it is LYLO or MYLO, I would refuse to be lynched, for obvious reasons, and whoever counterclaimed me would be free scum (to me, if not to everyone else). But that's a problem I hope doesn't arise. From here, two possibilities arise. LightningStrike killed Holyflare himself, or he didn't. Note that I assume mafia didn't double stack Holyflare, as he was a likely jailkeeper target, and jailkeeper blocks all KP. If LightningStrike didn't kill Holyflare: Despite us already assuming that LightningStrike wanted to quit, and the entire mafia team was willing to bus him, and him being a flipped goon (thus being the best KP carrier ever), mafia was so confident in this plan that mafia didn't have him carry KP. At this point, there's a 50% chance that I can use the orb to bus LightningStrike (rolecheck and roleblock would do nothing to let me bus him, and I can't claim a false ability). By not having LightningStrike kill Holyflare, and by having me use the orb on LightningStrike, mafia is very committed to having me use the orb to bus Holyflare. And right here, we hit a 50% chance that it doesn't work. From here, mafia would probably abort the plan of having me bus LightningStrike. I'm a miserable mafia player, and I don't think I mentioned LightningStrike (or many players, for that matter) a single time in my filter by that point. I would have had to generate a read on LightningStrike from nowhere, and I probably wouldn't have gotten that much town credit from it (assuming I pulled it off with reasonable success, which is unlikely). The better play for mafia would be to have someone else bus LightningStrike and leave me to fend for myself, quite likely resulting in me dying on Day 3 (I don't think I can avoid the lynch as mafia at all, and having not read the thread and already being scumread, there would have been no chance I survived). So mafia was willing to sacrifice the orb and the better KP carrier to end up at a 50% chance of no gain whatsoever. If LightningStrike did kill Holyflare: I didn't target LightningStrike with the orb. This is because of the roleblock ability. Mafia would refuse to take the 25% chance of roleblocking their kill on Holyflare, thus keeping Holyflare alive. Targeting LightningStrike with the orb is far too big of a risk for scum to take here. I put myself at extreme risk of being tracked (because I didn't visit LightningStrike). If I was tracked, two mafia die for free. If I had gotten any of the other three abilities, I couldn't have bussed LightningStrike. For reasons stated above, the best alternative plan for mafia would be to have someone else bus LightningStrike, still leaving me to try and defend myself. Basically, there is an extremely specific sequence of events that must have happened for me to be mafia. I think it's extremely unlikely, but I admit it's possible. If you're wondering why I typed this up to arrive at a conclusion other than me being 100% confirmed town, I thought it would make me 100% confirmed town, but I need to be honest. I'm definitely 95+% town, which is my threshold for giving people a free pass for the game, but that's for everyone else to decide. | ||

I had no vote on me except for Rayn&Palmar (both very likely scum and I scumread them both) so I wasn't really afraid myself. In fact all the votes that I DID get came AFTER I calimed so if you're trying to sell it that way it's just factually wrong. I think we can both agree that I would have never been lynched d1 no matter what, right? We already know mafia have a roleblocker unless Vivax is mafia because Vivax got roleblocked. Why would I be afraid to get shot by Vivax if I know I have a mate that can just roleblock him? I could have just let him be roleblocked without having claimed myself? I retract those points. So if you are mafia, your claim was made to save your partner(s). Which I suppose is possible, but extremely unlikely. Not out of the question, though. | ||

In the Holyflare read, LightningStrike says that he can't find a post where raynpelikoneet is being useless. This seems suspicious to me, based on both the statement itself and raynpelikoneet's filter (though I haven't looked at it closely). Perhaps Artanis[Xp] looks a bit worse because of LightningStrike's read. LightningStrike feels really reluctant to read Artanis[Xp] here, and makes sure to specify when he will be confident in this read. Seems a bit off. The read on Superbia is really bad. It's weak, and it's pure meta (LightningStrike only provided one pure meta read with an actual conclusion, and that was Superbia). | ||

Raynpelikoneet was scumread by mostly everyone, and with good reasons. He left more questions than answers and was probably the most abrasive person in the thread. I apologize for being biased against you, but after 285 pages, raynpelikoneet was quite scummy (especially with the tracker claim proven false). About raynpelikoneet's claim. He claimed tracker on Day 1 in a scenario where he was potentially the leading lynch candidate. Then he typed /unconfirm (spelled incorrectly), which was widely assumed to be a rescind of the tracker claim. Then claimed to track someone who was roleblocked. I think basically everyone agreed that if he changed his claim, he would be automatically lynched (though this wasn't said, of course, but I know that I certainly felt that way). And now you come in and claim vanilla town. I'm sorry, but especially given your scumplay last game, you're going to have to do something incredible for me to not want to lynch you (due to raynpelikoneet looking so bad). I don't need to lynch you tomorrow, but raynpelikoneet left you in a really bad spot. | ||

I'm actually not really sold on a Superbia lynch. When I look at his filter, it seems pretty good to me. It seems better than his play in Mini Mafia Down Under 2 (though that game probably isn't very representative of his skill), so I'm not confident that he is mafia yet.

She would never be so bad as to claim jailkeeper in this scenario.... Unless she isn't the jailkeeper. This begs the question, what would town!rsoultin gain from fake-claiming jailkeeper? The answer is a myriad of confusion. Town has been operating based on false premises for the past 72 hours. The night kills aren't explained at all. And town really has no clue, since this changes everything. With no benefit from fake-claiming and the confusion caused to town, even the very worst mafia players would not make this terrible of a play. And as shown above, rsoultin is a very capable and intelligent player. Therefore, rsoultin must be mafia. This is the only play that makes sense. The positives that rsoultin will never be lynched, and the chaos and confusion she has already caused (and intended to continue causing) are well worth the risk of being lynched. If you need more proof, I have it. For obvious reasons, was imperative for me to wait until the resolution period, to prevent the mafia from changing their night actions in response. I am the actual jailkeeper. Given what I've stated above, I don't think this can be in doubt any longer. But as further evidence, here are my night actions.
Do the right thing. Don't let people survive on fake claims! PS I'm pretty sure that raynpelikoneet's fake tracker claim makes ritoky confirmed town | ||

Superbia, that actually looks really good. But I have a few problems with it. Some of the quotes are out of context. I'll check that tomorrow. That could have a huge effect. I felt exactly the same way as Artanis did through the claims and Night 1 (and I'm town). However, Artanis is better than me, so it's fair to expect more from him. (obligatory sorry Vivax!) At this point I don't think I can townread Artanis purely for filter length. I think it's very possible that Artanis is improving his scum play, and isn't giving up any more. The fact that he didn't give up in Student Mafia VI (when he insisted he would give up his next scum game after Imperial immediately) until he got sick hints at this. As for the significant posting increase, it's this game. This game is extremely conversational, and everyone has massive filters in it. I don't know. I could go for this, but if Artanis is town, I don't want to mislynch him (because I want him around). I need to double check this carefully, but probably not tonight. | ||

Buddying, a great excuse to sneak a mafia in, and an excuse to partially avoid scumhunting. I don't think he's done many original pushes. And now, as you pointed out, he was heavily mafia siding.

Choosing to fake mason with Holyflare makes sense. He gets basic towncredit, and it gives him room to rescind his mason claim later. This didn't affect mafia's night kill, if anything this would have affected Onegu's initial decision. It's not like Holyflare was going to let Onegu slide on a mason claim if it became detrimental to town anyway. Basically, Onegu gets a little towncredit and gives him room to pull out of mason claims later in the game. And I'm still worried about ritoky. I think his scumplay was extremely solid in Down Under 2. I don't see him doing anything so far that he couldn't do as scum. The only reason to townread him was Palmar being suspicious of raynpelikoneet, but apparently a lot of people were suspicious of him, so some pressure doesn't seem that unlikely. That said, I didn't read this part of the game. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. | ||

I still don't see it. I actually have a toneread on him, and a meta read. I know, my tonereads are terrible. The main problem is, since his push on Holyflare, he hasn't done very much. But he blames activity. Does inactivity ever keep town!Alakaslam from truly playing? I've never played with town!Alakaslam. But I really feel he is town here, even if it's hard to explain. | ||

I don't see why Holyflare claiming mason makes him veteran. Though I suppose I can see mafia thinking this if they know Holyflare isn't actually a mason, but I would expect them to risk shooting him anyway.here is the problem with that, why did HF claim to be my partner? I came to the conclusion as town that he was vet. If I was scum I would think the same thing and not shoot him. The fact he was shot and a KP missing points more toward scum believing I am town and scum believed the mason claims and shot us both. | ||

Rsoultin had a very good metric for reading Alakaslam, and it worked in Down Under 2. Boring Alakaslam is scum, interesting and creative Alakaslam is town. This game, we see Alakaslam with an evolving, and interesting scumread of Holyflare. I am not inclined to lynch him? | ||

Alakaslam shows why Holyflare is scum, and that is because Holyflare's push on Alakaslam is bad. I would have put Holyflare at scum lean for it, except it was early in the game and caused discussion, and the rest of Holyflare's play was towny. Thus, I can see what Alakaslam is getting it. He dropped it due to looking at the other things Holyflare was doing, which were townie (this makes sense). He also shared some unique reads on other players (iirc scumread on rsoultin). It's likely that Alakaslam is town, and can't keep up with the thread. I see it as a policy lynch. And when I use the word interesting for Alakaslam: Last game, Down Under 2, all he did was sheep Palmar the entire game, and didn't even bother defending himself. This game, he's at least caring, and being independent. I can't and won't effectively argue Alakaslam to town. But I can argue him to null. And I don't want to lynch null. I'm sleepy.

Unfortunately, I was gone by that point, so I couldn't interact with him. But I actually put him at a town lead at this point. His play is just so markedly different from his scum play last game. If Alakaslam is lynched, it should be due to interactions with flipped mafia. | ||

Vivax is generally considered town due to the number of posts and the effort he has been putting into this game. Eden is town because he has also been putting a ton of effort into this game, and he has been constantly thinking critically and willing to discuss with anyone. He's the only certain townread that I'm willing to give for gameplay alone. | ||

However, overall, all lynches carry equal weight. If you get mislynched now, that's one mislynch, the same as if you were mislyched at LYLO. And that's why it doesn't help town to mislynch you now. So asking to be lynched now or never isn't something that town can comply with. I want to delay your lynch for one day, and preferably for much more than that. If you are town, it would be nice to see you read over the last 5-10 pages (or however much you are willing to read and have time for) and then post your thoughts based on those pages. No one expects you to read the entire thread, in fact most people here have not done so. The nice thing is that by talking with people who have read the entire thread, you can sort of get okay reads. | ||

Mini Mafia Down Under 2 Alakaslam's play was uninspired. He started out by seeing Palmar pretending to be two or three different people (I forget how many). He stated that because Palmar was practicing a greater form of CHUPAZI, he would sheep Palmar. So, he voted with Palmar's scum target and left for a while. At this point, people started showing suspicions of Alakaslam (rsoultin, ritoky, and Onegu, with me sort of following behind in thought, I forget if I expressed these sentiments in the thread). Alakaslam never moved his vote from ritoky. He came back to the thread and had minor interactions, but he never actually did anything other than say he was sheeping Palmar. He did ask what the case on him was, and we responded that he hadn't done anything creative. And he never responded to that. TL Mafia LXX Alakaslam hasn't sheeped anyone. His reads have been at odds with most of the thread at basically all times. He started out with a push on Holyflare. He's been providing several reads. When scumread this game, he shows a drastically different reaction. He's been willing to argue and defend himself, which I didn't notice at all last game (where he didn't even vote to save himself). | ||

And if Alakaslam is being bussed, I guarantee he wouldn't try to defend himself in a near-hopeless situation, when he didn't bother trying to defend himself last game (when he wasn't even getting bussed) and it was a post-restricted game, so he could have easily read the entire game. | ||

This is because there are still seven hours to the lynch, and a lot is still undermined. The final vote counts were 8 to 7, indicating that if the game consolidates on two wagons (likely), there are still half of the votes still to come down, and of course a ton of time (and therefore things to happen) before the lynch. Furthermore, Onegu never pushed LightningStrike at all, in fact he never mentioned LightningStrike. The only reason he voted in this way is to sheep Vivax, which he committed to before Vivax voted. My conclusion is that this vote says nothing about Onegu's alignment. Never done that one before. I guess there's a first time for everything. | ||

Imagine if Onegu claimed mason with Holyflare on Day 1, and then Holyflare responded "What? I'm not a mason." That would say nothing at all about Onegu's alignment. So, Onegu's mason claim with Holyflare has no downside. And Onegu has two potential positives for doing this. If Holyflare accepts, Onegu gets a free pass through Day 1 and Night 1. And regardless of what Holyflare does, Onegu shows that he is willing to fake-claim mason, thereby giving him an out from all mason claims he makes for the rest of the game. Then Onegu claimed mason with raynpelikoneet. Regardless of raynpelikoneet's alignment, I think this is a poor move for town here. Rereading Onegu's filter in this section, he seems very determined in this statement. And he provided a false breadcrumb. He is much more determined about this mason claim than he was with his previous mason claim with Holyflare. His explanation for this is that he was certain of raynpelikoneet being town, and was defending him in this way. If he is this certain of raynpelikoneet being town, then he ought to explain this read, instead of just claiming mason. And Onegu I don't think Onegu ever explains this read. Basically, this is a bad play for town, as it provides false information. I also note that Onegu said he hadn't read over half the game, so how is he sure enough in his townread of raynpelikoneet that he claimed in such a convincing manner, while most people were very suspicious of raynpelikoneet at this time? Since then, Onegu rescinded his mason claim. I don't recall Onegu doing much else of note. My conclusion is that Onegu is scum here. I don't see why his play has any benefit for town, and claiming mason is a very low-risk play for scum. Ignoring his claims, Onegu hasn't done very much. I'm scumreading Onegu right now regardless of raynpelikoneet/ritoky's alignment, but I think there's a good chance that they are scum together. | ||

Which would be a pretty big decision. If I knew what I wanted to do right now, you would see it reflected in the voting thread. | ||

My first impressions from the argument between Superbia and Artanis was that Artanis had better arguments, or at least stated them better. However, Superbia's determination struck me as being very towny and geniune, while I'm actually surprised that Artanis engaged Superbia as he did. Currently, I'm inclined to think that both are town. If possible, I would like another day to read these two players, though I suppose I could be convinced to lynch here today. I guess Fecalfeast isn't a terrible lynch, I can see reasons for him being scum, but I can also see reasons for him being town. Namely, I can't expect every town player to keep scumhunting at the same level with the lynch sealed almost 48 hours in advance, especially with the thread moving at this pace. | ||

Here, Alakaslam is yelling and arguing constantly (not in a way that logically defends him, but still, he's arguing). I don't think he would do this as scum, while he's listed in a scumlist in which everyone is set to be lynched. If he is scum, he would either concede (if no one in his team is in the town list) or let himself die (if someone from his team is in the town list). I don't see Alakaslam arguing like this. And once again, I state that Alakaslam's decision to play serious in this game is most likely a direct result of Onegu using a mathematical formula based on the number of times he says chupazi, svengali, and hijole to read him. | ||

Eden, my problem with your analysis is that it assumes that people are smart. I agree that Superbia and Artanis were arguing for the purpose of arguing, and not to actually arrive at any useful conclusion. However, I think that the entire progression of Superbia's case on Artanis and his follow-up argument indicates that Superbia is extremely determined to push Artanis, and this makes him seem towny to me. Townies often bicker pointlessly. It doesn't make them scum. | ||

My hypothesis is although Artanis has a large filter, he hasn't provided much original content, and has just been following the thread sentiment. And this makes him scum. Thoughts? Oh and also, I'm going to vote Onegu again. If Superbia flips scum, I look like an idiot, but I already know that I'm an idiot, so that doesn't really matter. | ||

That is all. I don't know if I prefer an Alakaslam lynch or a Superbia lynch. At this point, probably an Alakaslam lynch, as Superbia will have an easier time verifying his towniness. And Alakaslam could be scum. I can't argue him to town, only to null. | ||

With two KP and four scum left, Fecalfeast would be a pretty good choice to carry KP. And this is a fair argument in his favor. | ||

Rsoultin was roleblocked. Thus, the roleblocks cancel, and the KP goes through. In your case, it blocks KP, because rsoultin wasn't roleblocked (or at least, it's basically guaranteed that she wasn't). | ||

The argument for Fecalfeast being mafia is that his case reeks of too much information, and is caused by LightningStrike's desire to not play the game any more. Therefore, the majority of the mafia team would join in on this bus.

To me, it looks like scum had very little to do with the LightningStrike push at all. If you think Vivax is town, Onegu only followed by the RNG sheep. And there was some support given in the thread, but only from raynpelikoneet and Eden. I don't think this makes sense from a mafia!Fecalfeast perspective, though I suppose if raynpelikoneet/ritoky is scum after all, I could see this. But if raynpelikoneet was town, then scum didn't show any support for this case at all. I would think that scum would try to get towncredit for more than one person for an early Day 1 bus, so they would have at least one other person show support for it fairly early on (even if not voting for it). | ||

After I checked LightningStrike, he expressed disappointment at being caught. If I am scum, this makes sense (it makes me seem towny). However, if I am town (which I know for certain), then it is very likely that LightningStrike was telling the truth, and he was disappointed to be caught. This indicates that scum wasn't completely willing to bus LightningStrike (I don't think they would be willing to bus him when Fecalfeast did, and then change their minds, because the only good reason for Fecalfeast bussing LightningStrike there is LightningStrike's own desire to not play). Basically, because I know that LightningStrike ultimately was not bussed, and seemed to be genuinely disappointed at being lynched, I think that makes Fecalfeast more likely to be town. Does that make sense to anyone else? | ||

Given the above post I mentioned, I don't really want to lynch Onegu any more. Onegu, if you are town, I would still like to see more from you. But again, if you are town, I do apologize for pushing you this past day. If ritoky is scum, I don't think I can catch him through general gameplay, only how he reacts to situations. So, I'd prefer to leave that for later tomorrow. I'd also prefer to leave Fecalfeast for later tomorrow, as I want to see how his activity goes over the course of the next cycle. Artanis could be scum here, I think he's good enough that it is possible. However, I think that this is extremely unlikely. In addition, I'm not going to lynch him out of suspicion, only proof. And though it might be possible to prove, it would take an extremely large amount of time invested. If someone would like to do the work, that's fine with me. But I'm not going to spend basically a whole day reading Artanis (that's what it would take me...) if he is very likely to be town here.

Assuming that Onegu, Vivax, and Toadesstern town, we know that Onegu was shot. At this point, I am fine with these assumptions (though Onegu could still possibly be mafia). 1. Raynpelikoneet is mafia (this is obvious, as a claimed tracker, he should have been shot) 2. Scum has two roleblockers 3. Scum was scared enough of the Holyflare/Onegu mason pair that they wanted to kill both (preventing any sort of "if I die" post from the mason QT beign posted), more scared of this than a tracker Is it likely that scum has two roleblockers in this game?

I know that if we lose, a huge portion of the blame goes to me for my miserable play (aka not playing) this past day. And that led to the mislynch of Superbia.

There was no real reason to be quiet about it. Scum would never fake the orb. Furthermore, scum wouldn't fake the orb with the wrong ability, they would use the orb and then say which ability they got (maybe fake the target and/or the result). Therefore, there is no real benefit for mafia!Onegu to claim orb in this situation. It's not alignment indicative. It also doesn't say much about ritoky. At the time, I believe ritoky was a widely accepted orb target. With only one mafia KP, and three mafia members, it's likely that if ritoky is scum, he wouldn't be the one carrying the KP. | ||

I asked him twice if he wanted to soft-claim blue. If he did, I would have done so as well, leaving us with five power roles (making lynching into them a reasonably good idea).

You realize that before my claim, I was getting by on basically nothing and getting constantly townread. Why would I make this play and claim veteran, as scum, for a scum team carry, and continue doing nearly nothing? There's no way for that to happen. Scum would never tell me to carry the team like this if I didn't have the time to do it properly. Anyway, I'm terribly sorry for my play the last few days. I fully intend to take a break from mafia after this game and wait for my schedule to be more open, and for me to regain my motivation. I apologize, as my effort level hasn't been fair to those remaining in the game. I'm still going with definite scum as ritoky and Fecalfeast, with the third being between Onegu and Damdred. If we haven't lost by the time we must lynch one of those, and I'm still alive, hopefully I'll have time to make a more detailed analysis. | ||

I'll go with ritoky, Fecalfeast, and Damdred. And hopefully Artanis, Toadesstern, and sicklucker are all town. Otherwise, well played. | ||

1. I believe that 15 vs 5 is considered scum favored, so town likel would have more power roles to compensate. 2. No offense to Half the Sky, but she isn't known for making particularly balanced setups. | ||

Toadesstern will die tonight. We lynch Fecalfeast tomorrow, he flips mafia. Then, Artanis dies. That leaves at 4 player MYLO, with: Trfel sicklucker Onegu Damdred The scum is probably Damdred. But, Damdred and Onegu are both scumreading me. If town doesn't vote together, they lose. So this is actually a fairly realistic way that town could lose this game, by mislynching me at 4p MYLO. This is why I am not going to be night killed, and why I wasn't killed last night. It's a good plan for mafia. Alternatively, of course, they can try to mislynch one of Damdred/Onegu. This way, mafia has two potential mislynch options instead of just one (which is what it should be, as sicklucker, Toadesstern, Artanis, and I are all town). Look at my play outside of my veteran claim, even outside of my orb usage (though both suggest that I am town). Here is why I am still town.

Night 1 Mafia shot Holyflare and Onegu, eliminating two (at the time, widely accepted) confirmed townies, as well as making sure Holyflare's reads would be shut up for good (no Onegu posting stuff from the mason QT after Holyflare's death). Night 2 Rsoultin and ExO_, the jailkeeper and cop, died. I don't think you can argue that mafia should have taken any other action. Night 3 Eden died. Eden was universally townread (well, except for ritoky) for his high level of gameplay. He was playing the best in the game, and was essentially confirmed town. Of course mafia wanted to shoot him. Night 4 I got shot. This makes sense at the time, as I was considered confirmed town. I think that mafia should have shot Toadesstern here, as he is also confirmed town (and the better player), but whatever. Night 5 Vivax was shot. I wasn't shot because people were voicing suspicions of me. Of course I wouldn't be shot here. As for shooting Vivax or Toadesstern, I'm not sure it matters that much for mafia. So, they chose one. Not suspicious. The most suspicious night kill was the night one kill on Onegu. Everything else makes perfect sense. | ||

I'm sorry. It's Easter. I'm occupied with other things, I'm busy with family, I won't be around at the deadline, I may not be on for the rest of the day, even. I wish today was a 48 hour day. I believe that the scum team is Fecalfeast and Damdred. Artanis believes that the scum team is Fecalfeast and Onegu. Artanis is an extremely good player, and I read his argument. While it is good, that isn't the same conclusion that I drew, so I need time to go back over it and check the facts again myself. Still, we are both scumreading Fecalfeast. It's best to lynch Fecalfeast now. I still have a lot of doubt that Onegu is scum. Onegu's mason claim simply isn't a clear sign that he is mafia. I can easily see town!Onegu having fun and claiming mason. While I think that it ended up being a bad play, it wasn't too detrimental to town, and it doesn't make him scum here. During the night I will read over the pages I've missed, and I'll analyze the filters. But please, lynch Fecalfeast today. Not anyone else, even Onegu. | ||

For those of you who doubt my towniness, look at the night kills. You say that they implicate me because I'm not dead. Look further, notice how the people who townread me die, and the people who scumread me stay alive. If I were scum, that is not what I would do at all. Eden, Artanis, Vivax, they all townread me. Damdred, sicklucker, they stay alive. Ritoky kept being suspicious of me (at least, I think). I'm not scum here. Please, trust me, vote Fecalfeast. Lynching Fecalfeast is the only lynch that makes sense here. Toadesstern, sicklucker, and I are not getting lynched. Maybe you disagree with that, but at least we are not getting lynched today. That leaves Damdred, Fecalfeast, and Onegu. To my knowledge, no one is suggesting a Damdred/Onegu pair, therefore we should lynch Fecalfeast. Even if you think Onegu is scummier, just lynch Fecalfeast instead. | ||

Does that make you care?that's been pretty much my argument for why I wanted FF lynched today because it's between FF+Trfel and FF+Onegu for people. I think Damdred is currently on Onegu+FF or Onegu+Trfel not sure. So from his pov Onegu is actually the lynch to go right now, from your pov it's FF, from my pov I couldn't care less because it's just Onegu+FF... Trust me for now, when the night phase hits I'll show you why. (That, or perhaps realize that I'm wrong). But I'd like to have a chance first. The remarkable thing about Onegu's play is that he has been here, but not really scummy. His actions haven't been super beneficial for town, but look through his filter, look at what he's done. He hasn't done anything that is clearly scummy, and has clear mafia motivation. I mean, he's done a lot of scummy things, but nothing that makes him scum. And in a game this long, that's pretty impressive. Before you lynch Onegu, read one of his past games. I don't think that Artanis bothered to check Onegu's meta. Toadesstern, you really, really, really ought to do so. | ||

That's what scum would do when someone is calling out the scum team and trying to lynch them.Trfel is acting really weird I'm trying to lynch someone who I think is scum over someone who I don't think is scum. I'm not convinced that Damdred's recent activity level is a huge sign that he is town. His play started out strong, and then dropped in the middle. It only came back at the end, when he was in danger of being lynched, when he started losing his townreads. That seems suspicious to me. It's Fecalfeast and Damdred. Don't lose the game now, when it's all figured out. | ||

What were the indicators that Toadesstern was mafia? I still don't see the mafia motivation behind his fake-claim. | ||

I'm sorry for coming down so hard on you this past day. I was faking confidence to try and get you lynched. Now that just makes me feel even worse. Sorry. | ||
