Palmar never hard defends someone day1 as town. He knows as town you are working with very little information day1 so your reads are never going to be perfect. His certainty about iGrok's alignment is such a clear giveaway that he is scum.

Yeah I looked back through his posts and there was nothing there. Literally. Almost no posts. That was my first thought on him because of his shitty random vote. After filtering him I see he's made about 2 posts with content after that though and neither of them are very scummy.

iGrok has some bad wording in his posts. Nothing else he has done makes him look particularly Town or scum really, but Mafia love to try to lynch people for badly worded posts. I would know, I basically used that method to secure multiple mislynches as scum in XLIV.

Palmar calling him sure Town is ridiculous as well, but that's Palmar. Posting in stupid hyperboles is what he does.

Let's lynch TAA.

I'd switch to TAA or iGrok if I thought either of them were good lynches. The question raised now is which is worse - no lynch or town lynch? One of them at least gives us information from a flip. Cause it doesn't look like GGQ will be hanging tonight.

I'm not suspicious of Bumatlarge anymore. He knows he said nothing wrong, pointed it out and closed the case against him.

He's putting himself out there quite a lot without any actual pressure on him.

JeeJee though. His analysis of the 'cut the crap' bit. GGQ is so obviously trying to look like a "no screwing around" type of player and talking like this is part of his tough image. Yet JeeJee is trying to twist this into being emotional and crumbling under pressure. Fake, pompous - yes. But GGQ was acting like this before the accusation. He used the same tone to reply to me when he didn't have to defend himself because I accused JeeJee and Bumatlarge. I find it suspicious that a good player such as JeeJee doesn't notice such things, especially when there was less than one page to analyse.

If by that you mean that I'm not showing any signs of protecting mafia as a medic this game, then yes, my behaviour is 100% different. I am wiser now, having played one game is better than having played no games at all.

On a serious note, the problem with your argument is that I got into trouble in XLIV precisely because of the very same behaviour: accusing four players in no time. The only thing you can read in this is that I'm a bad player but this is something we all know.

Anyway, it is easy to be active if you're mafia at this point, which means that being quiet becomes just as easy. The sooner the arbitrary one-line accusations transition into something better structured, the better - and if it takes a cocky quasi-trollish post that annoys some townies, well, it's worth it anyway.


Calling my posting 'fake' is a pretty serious accusation, bro. What makes you think I'm being fake? Examples and explanation, please.


Okay, now you're getting emotional - or even hypocritical. First you say that your post about JeeJee was not an accusation, and then you regard what I wrote as one? Not cool.
I see no problem with calling things the way they are. Everyone gets a bit in character and has some agenda on his mind. Implying that just because I consider your (or anyone's) behaviour part of your overall gameplan means that I am accusing you of something is dangerous. Town players can and often do have an agenda that is not immediately obvious. Your post reads to me as if you have a problem with this. Do you?

The "I did it because I'm a bad player" is the worst excuse possible. If you realized that your multiple accusations very early in XLIV didn't work out well for you, why did you do it again?

I'm also surprised you're not claiming that you were joking.

Sandroba claimed that my motives are different this time, which is what I pointed out as incorrect. In XLIV I tried using gimmicky play as an attempt to put more pressure on BrownBear but it backfired, while here I did some trolling to get things going when the game was really quiet. I only mentioned my newbishness because Sandroba obviously sees me as someone he can easily pressure into making a mistake. And I did explain that I wasn't serious with my mafia list.

Palmar. He opened the same way in XLIV, which resulted in some good leads but also ruined town discussion and made it easier for mafia to blend. Afterwards he acknowledged his mistake and said he'll be better next time.

This is next time and he's doing exactly the same. Some quotes from Day 1 from both games:

And, finally, our three lynch candidates. I don't like iGrok for lynch for the same reason as GGQ: he is putting himself out there from the very beginning. Not as much as GGQ but sitll quite a lot. Out of the three realistic lynch targets, TheAwesomeAll is the one who hasn't done anything of value. Also, his vote on Mig looks like an attempt to play down his previous vote (he voted for Bumatlarge in the same post in which he said that iGrok is sounds like mafia the most). What better way to draw attention away from making a second vote for someone who is by no means a serious candidate by making a third one? Throwing away votes in such fashion can be acceptible at the beginning of the game but not when we are actually having a proper discussion. TAA has this "bad town" vibe around him but bad townies get themselves in trouble by posting something with faulty reasoning, while he is simply trying to make himself look like a troll.

One of Palmar/Mig is scum methinks. IMO it might be Mig, because Palmar actually did defend townies in XLIV (I distinctly remember him giving Sevryn 0.2% chance to flip town) and he defended hiro and xt as well.

In cosmic I feel like he did the same but Palmar was alive when I wasn't in the game and I don't remember too well ATM (not quoting stuff cause I'm on my phone)

Would Mig purposely forget these things or is he just being ignorant as town? Iunno but from what I understand about his town play...neither is a likely town explanation.

Anyway, at the current lynches:

I say we keep it between TAA and iGrok. Either is an acceptable lynch to me but I'm not sold on GGQ. I'll switch off iGrok if we require lynching assistance

Wbg are you really comparing him super soft defending sevryn last game compared to him defending iGrok with every post he makes here? And you think iGrok is suspicious yea? So why is palmar so positive that he is town? Doesn't it seem fishy to you that palmar could be so sure when almost everyone else at least has some suspicions of iGrok?

Anyway switching like I said I would

I call major bullshit on this. check the timestamps, all of my major content posts were made before you wrote that post. I didn't make "about two posts of content after that", this is a deliberate lie to absolve yourself of responsibility.

If you're a cop, I think chaos is a great visit based on this alone.

It does, actually, you ninjaed my one liner that I was about to post.

Basically I was just gonna say that one of you being scum doesn't necessarily rule out both of you being scum. Lol.

I am actually scared with how fast this TAA bandwagon has started. Are mafia really bussing him this early in the game? I haven't seen a single defense of him yet.

Apparently I haven't gone over this enough, or you just haven't read all of my posts. Here's a full-blown analysis for you.

GGQ - Mr. Mafia

One random vote on him and he immediately tries to deflect the lynch onto bum. "This guy did the same thing as me, go after him instead." This could also be a vague attempt at rolefishing. There's no way it's going to work, as any player on this list with a blue role will see right through it, but it's there nevertheless.

If you are being serious, please explain your reasoning more in-depth. What makes you think bum is mafia? If JeeJee and bum are mafia, why would JeeJee draw attention to bum like that? Why would Curu bandwagon so blatantly?

If you are not being serious, please start.


Note here that he provides evidence against a connection between JeeJee and bum.

I think it's pretty clear that when someone does something, 'why?' is a far more relevant question than 'why not?'

"why?" has one clear, defined answer that helps to clarify your action.

"why not?" has infinite hypothetical answers that just obscure it further.

So cut the crap. Why?


Calm down broski.

It's very simple. When reacting to an accusation, townies tend to point out flaws with the accusation, since they know the accusation is wrong. Scum tend to try and shift the blame elsewhere, since they know the accusation is right.
if my vote didn't count since it was before Ace's post (although after 13KST), I'll re-write it here again.
##vote:ggq


Here you transformed "idle speculation" into "rolefishing".

Bum: I think everyone has a role
GGQ: 4 mafia; I agree
JeeJee: rolefishing

?

But then GGQ, instead of pointing this out, points a finger at me for something he initially agreed with. Congratulations! You found an "Inconsistency"!

##vote:ggq


I'm going to go over all this again, just so it's clear to everyone in this game.

1) bumatlarge speculates before the game starts that everyone has an ability, providing no reasoning

2) I agree and provide some reasoning. I still stand by this post and don't think that it's scummy

3) JeeJee accuses me (or both me and bum? he isnt clear) of rolefishing and votes for me.

4) I did not address his accusation of rolefishing. I think it's silly, because I think it's clear that I wasn't rolefishing and I'm unconcerned by this vote.

5) I ask JeeJee why he chose to vote and accuse me instead of bum, since that seems completely arbitrary to me. I want to know his reasoning; I want him to explain himself so that the town can better judge both me and him. I want things clearly spelled out in the thread.

6) JeeJee responds with "Why not?" I've already explained why this is a terrible answer. It doesn't help with clarifying anything, and it only leads to more confusion and obfuscation, which is distinctly anti-town.

7) JeeJee tells me to "calm down". Nothing in my post indicates that I'm not calm. He is trying to make it seem like I'm getting defensive/emotional when I don't believe that my post indicates anything like that; it's just cold reasoning.

8) JeeJee then says "It's very simple. etc" as though he's responding to my question of "Why?" He then gives his explanation that townies point out flaws in accusations while scum try to shift blame. a) First of all, this explanation has some truth but it's improperly applied. I was not trying to shift blame. I was not trying to FOS or divert suspicion to bumatlarge. In fact, I was doing exactly what he says townies do; I pointed out that the accusation was flawed because it was arbitrary and poorly explained (even though I gave him an opportunity to explain it).
b) Secondly, this is not an answer to my question of "why?" His explanation is basically that my question of "why" is the answer to itself; the answer to "why did you vote for me instead of bum" is because I asked that question. Clearly this is circular reasoning. JeeJee, you still haven't answered why you voted/accused me instead of bum.

9) then bum jumps on the bandwagon against me based on the incorrect assumption that I was pointing fingers at him. Curious how bum and JeeJee are interacting here...

To sum up, JeeJee and bum have been misinterpreting and misrepresenting me. This is something that is done either by scum trying to lead a mislynch or by townies who fail at reading comprehension. Which one are you guys?


4) If he's unconcerned about the vote, why did he try to deflect it to bum?

9) "Curious how bum and JeeJee are interacting here..."

This directly contradicts the earlier post where he states there is no connection between the two. This is also a subtle accusation of both bum and JeeJee. He doesn't say it outright, but there is no doubt in my mind that he is calling them mafia.

The last paragraph also supports this, outlining both JeeJee and bum as perpetrators of disorganization. He then goes on to state that the motive behind that could be either town or mafia, without picking a side. Classic wishy-washy mafia statement.

4) I did not address his accusation of rolefishing. I think it's silly, because I think it's clear that I wasn't rolefishing and I'm unconcerned by this vote.

5) I ask JeeJee why he chose to vote and accuse me instead of bum, since that seems completely arbitrary to me. I want to know his reasoning; I want him to explain himself so that the town can better judge both me and him. I want things clearly spelled out in the thread.

6) JeeJee responds with "Why not?" I've already explained why this is a terrible answer. It doesn't help with clarifying anything, and it only leads to more confusion and obfuscation, which is distinctly anti-town.

7) JeeJee tells me to "calm down". Nothing in my post indicates that I'm not calm. He is trying to make it seem like I'm getting defensive/emotional when I don't believe that my post indicates anything like that; it's just cold reasoning.

8) JeeJee then says "It's very simple. etc" as though he's responding to my question of "Why?" He then gives his explanation that townies point out flaws in accusations while scum try to shift blame. a) First of all, this explanation has some truth but it's improperly applied. I was not trying to shift blame. I was not trying to FOS or divert suspicion to bumatlarge. In fact, I was doing exactly what he says townies do; I pointed out that the accusation was flawed because it was arbitrary and poorly explained (even though I gave him an opportunity to explain it).
b) Secondly, this is not an answer to my question of "why?" His explanation is basically that my question of "why" is the answer to itself; the answer to "why did you vote for me instead of bum" is because I asked that question. Clearly this is circular reasoning. JeeJee, you still haven't answered why you voted/accused me instead of bum.

9) then bum jumps on the bandwagon against me based on the incorrect assumption that I was pointing fingers at him. Curious how bum and JeeJee are interacting here...

To sum up, JeeJee and bum have been misinterpreting and misrepresenting me. This is something that is done either by scum trying to lead a mislynch or by townies who fail at reading comprehension. Which one are you guys?


This is a big heaping dose of OMGUS. Your entire argument is based on the fact that JeeJee has accused you and apparently misunderstood some of your behavior. You end it with a noncommittal statement and don't even bother voting for someone you just accused of being scum. Oh wait, you accused bum as well by association. You're looking like a good first lynch right about now.


>>calls my post OMGUS
>>points out that I end noncommittal and don't vote for JeeJee
>>?!?!?!

When did I accuse him of being scum? I gave him two options, and frankly I think it's more likely that JeeJee is misguided towny than mafia atm. My post wasn't an accusation, but an outline of misunderstandings, logic fails, and suspicious behavior. You'll notice that he's not the only one I've responded to. I'll point out problematic posts when I see them, whether the poster has voted for me or not. Call it OMGUS if you want.

Also, you painted it as suspicious that I didn't vote for JeeJee after "accusing" him. And then you called me scum, even encouraged a lynch on me, then didn't vote for me. Wuddup wit dat?

If this is the kind of logic and analysis we are going to have all game, then gg we lose.


He accused JeeJee of being scum when he linked bum and JeeJee together as both causing problems. He ended that post asking for more discussion with JeeJee, who didn't post anything. Why the sudden change of heart then, with JeeJee "more likely misguided towny"?

The end statement is nowhere near being pro-town either. It's a blanket negative statement intended to discourage further accusations of GGQ.

Hm, if you think that's rolefishing, why vote for me and not bum, who brought it up first?


why not?


I think it's pretty clear that when someone does something, 'why?' is a far more relevant question than 'why not?'

"why?" has one clear, defined answer that helps to clarify your action.

"why not?" has infinite hypothetical answers that just obscure it further.

So cut the crap. Why?


Calm down broski.

It's very simple. When reacting to an accusation, townies tend to point out flaws with the accusation, since they know the accusation is wrong. Scum tend to try and shift the blame elsewhere, since they know the accusation is right.
if my vote didn't count since it was before Ace's post (although after 13KST), I'll re-write it here again.
##vote:ggq


Here you transformed "idle speculation" into "rolefishing".

Bum: I think everyone has a role
GGQ: 4 mafia; I agree
JeeJee: rolefishing

?

But then GGQ, instead of pointing this out, points a finger at me for something he initially agreed with. Congratulations! You found an "Inconsistency"!

##vote:ggq


I'm going to go over all this again, just so it's clear to everyone in this game.

1) bumatlarge speculates before the game starts that everyone has an ability, providing no reasoning

2) I agree and provide some reasoning. I still stand by this post and don't think that it's scummy

3) JeeJee accuses me (or both me and bum? he isnt clear) of rolefishing and votes for me.

4) I did not address his accusation of rolefishing. I think it's silly, because I think it's clear that I wasn't rolefishing and I'm unconcerned by this vote.

That entire post is an attack on JeeJee, and none of it looks like you're calling him a bad townie. Not an accusation, but an outline of suspicious behavior? That's exactly what an accusation is.

It wouldn't have been suspicious if it felt as if you were simply looking for more information, but it had the feel of an attack to it. None of what I said is calling you scum. Calling you suspicious? Hell yeah. Did I encourage anyone else to vote for you? No. They can make that decision themselves. There's no need for me to place my vote yet until we generate some more discussion. I'm simply warning you that if your play continues this way, I will vote for you before the day is over.

Good positive attitude at the end there, I like that. If you don't think that what's going on is good, encourage something better. You can whine about it all you want, but if you don't do something to fix it you're just becoming part of the problem.


Incorrect, an accusation is when you accuse someone of being scum, which I never did. I'll call out suspicious behavior from many players in a game, but I'll only accuse a few of being scum. So no, pointing out suspicious behavior from someone is not an accusation. If scum were the only ones who exhibited suspicious behavior, mafia would be a much easier game.

You said I was looking like a good lynch. Not a good "vote", a good "lynch". You can't lynch by yourself, so yeah you were encouraging others to vote for me.

And yeah, I am doing something about it by pointing out fail logic in the hopes that people will think things through a little longer.


And then look at the bolded. He's falsifying what I said by arguing over my word choice. I'm trying to get you lynched now GGQ. Cause you're scum.

TheAwesomeAll is a fine lynch, too.


He hasn't mentioned any suspicion of these two at all yet. Suddenly they're both good lynches? When someone I think is scum is happy to lynch two people I think are probably town, and without any explanation for it, I get a whole lot more sure those two are town. Also, he's harped at people for voting without providing any explanation, and suddenly he's doing the same thing. I guess the rules don't apply to you when you're mafia, eh?

I hope that cleared up any confusion about why I'm voting him. It's cause he's scum.

Please tell us why you think JeeJee is scummy.


Yeah I looked back through his posts and there was nothing there. Literally. Almost no posts. That was my first thought on him because of his shitty random vote. After filtering him I see he's made about 2 posts with content after that though and neither of them are very scummy.


I call major bullshit on this. check the timestamps, all of my major content posts were made before you wrote that post. I didn't make "about two posts of content after that", this is a deliberate lie to absolve yourself of responsibility.

If you're a cop, I think chaos is a great visit based on this alone.



Two posts after the random vote you made, ya doorknob. :p

Basically I was just gonna say that one of you being scum doesn't necessarily rule out both of you being scum. Lol.

I am actually scared with how fast this TAA bandwagon has started. Are mafia really bussing him this early in the game? I haven't seen a single defense of him yet.


I think he's town, if that counts as a defense. How quickly it's started is yet another reason to think he's town. I don't really know how he came up as a major candidate in the first place.
