Grackaroni highlighted this in an earlier post and i think you (xtfftc) need to expalin:

I've posted more on Jay, look at Day 1 but it's mostly one off remarks (such as pointing out how Jay justified not voting for a lurker by saying that we shouldn't lynch a lurker because a lurker isn't around to defend himself) and I don't see how the last quote was me suggesting that he is probably town. It was me pointing out the scumminess of EY's reasoning, and at that moment it was to be expected that mafia would jump on the Jay bandwagon.
At the moment I think that Jay is more likely to be scum because if he's not, we have EY, xsk, and Adam left, and I consider Adam to be the worst lynch out of the players I am suspicious of (Adam, Jay, EY, xsk, BKE)


you explicity state that you think Jay is the most likely to be scum and grack makes this point

I stated my reasons for keeping my vote on EY. Your reasoning is pure WIFOM in this case. Jay was obviously going to be lynched hours before I posted the bit you quoted, so what could a townie do in this situation? Vote for Jay and be accused of sheeping after BH and bandwagonning (remember Tunkeg and his analysis of the Bbyte lynch?) Or vote for someone else and be accused of not voting for the obvious mafia.


you call his "reasoning" (i see a simple statement of fact) "pure WIFOM"
well where is the pure wifom in this?


First of, nice to see you being active. Secondly - the answer to your question is in the very post you have quoted. It is pure WIFOM because the logic behind the vote I am accused for can apply to both mafia and town:

Let's also consider me being mafia for the sake of discussing my actions. Vote for Jay and get accused of bandwagonning, or don't and be accused of not voting for the obvious mafia? It works both ways.


You have cut out my actual argument: it works both ways.

Town does not vote to punish bad play. Town votes to lynch mafia.


Right, and right now the best case for scum I've seen is the one on jay. I don't think it's currently possible to be 100% sold on anyone at the moment town or scum. I've read the filters, and have nothing unique to add to the discussion so why clog the thread up even further?

Am I supposed to be like, "FUCK YEAH WE'RE KILLING SCUM!" Besides BH, I don't think anyone is 100% sure on jay, but at the moment it's the best we've got. Hopefully it solidifies later in the day, or someone else catches something


You lynch your best read. You don't start looking for excuses for when the player you're voting for flips town.

Yes, because I did such a great job laying under the radar before. Let's see, pissing match with the most active/aggressive player in the thread. Check.

Getting myself warned for inactivity in big blue letters to point it out to everyone. Check.

Great job I'm doing staying under the radar.

You didn't want to get into the "pissing match" with BH, you were forced to by his aggressiveness. And using lurking as a proof that you haven't been staying under the radar is a pretty solid point if you're building a case against yourself.

You were out of the picture when every good mafia wants to be: during the last ~12 hours before the deadline, so you did a great job.

I'd also like Starshard, xftttc, and Bluelightz to respond to by the accusations that EB made. I know it sucks for the replacements but there needs to be some response to it. He seemed pretty damn convinced he had the game won and then got offed by the mafia overnight.

I answered to him after he mentioned me and I don't see how his death changes anything.

What is there to be said about EB? His play was arrogant and trollish. He was obviously a veteran smurfing, who thought it would be fun to frustrate the townies (refusing to vote just when he was asked to the most active player in the game just because he felt like irritating us) and then giving us a great demonstration of how a town player has to prove his innocence when attacked. He posted a great case that lacked obvious flaws - and then he was happy to go inactive again. He came back to announce that he's found the whole mafia team - but didn't bother providing any analysis on two of the players he accused. And he also made sure to notify us that the Bbyte lynch was pushed easily...

Before the game started (and also in the Looking For Coaches thread) some veterans suggested that there should be some experienced players in this game to help teach the newbies how to play properly. Instead we get a cocky smurf. There was no way to make a good guess about his intentions, which is the reason why I'm not all over Hassy at the moment. EB was good enough to make us do anything he wanted to as long as he was interested in putting a serious effort in the game, and I have no reason to believe that his intentions were pro-town, even after his flip. Ask veterans such as Sandroba and Palmar and they will tell you that the first thing a townie should do is to establish his/her innocence. The first thing EB did was to frustrate town and lose us half a day. So what good would it do to town to focus on him again instead of doing our own analysis? All you're achieving with this is disruping the discussion.

you have stated that you should only vote for mafia and that you should lynch your best read
and yet in the above quote you do not do that


To the contrary: this is precisely what I was doing in the above post: pushing my best mafia read.

I did post it hours before posting the bit you quoted. Seriously.

Now, I could have expanded it a lot but unless you expect me to spend 5-6 hours a day working on my cases, I'll never be able to analyse everything I find in-depth. If this is scummy behaviour, 3/4 of the town are playing much scummier than I am.

why? "its better than a last minute suprise" you just jump on a bandwagon


I did write extensively on why town should not waste their vote and that I was concerned about the lack of resistance there had been to Bbyte's lynch. Plus, we agreed that last minute switches tend to benefit the mafia, so we had to ensure this didn't happen.

And anyway, jumping on a bandwagon is another thing that 3/4 of the town is much guiltier than I am of, yet you only attack me for this. Why would you do such a thing? I was pretty much the only one to try to push for a lynch that was based on analysis, yet you target me for "jumping" on a bandwagon?

another contradiction it also doesn't make sense that "to remind people that we have to catch the whole mafia team" could be a reason for a vote

Of course it does make sense. We had the whole town sheeping for Day 1 and Day 2, so it is necessary to have proper discussions from now on.
And what it is that I am guilty of exactly? Are you suggesting that I was trying to somehow save Jay by refusing to vote for him, even though there were like 10 votes for him a few hours before the deadline?

You are a liar. I wasn't happy to be on the Day 1 bandwagon and it is obvious from all the effort I put in my attempts to prevent it.

And where is my motive for not voting for Jay? Seriously? If I'm mafia, what is my motive? Are you saying that I knew that someone was mafia and outright refused to vote for him in order to look more suspicious after the red flip? Did I try to save Jay by not voting? Anyone with half a brain would know that he was dead a few hours into Day 2 - and yet I decided not to switch to him for ~36 hours in order to gain absolutely nothing out of it?

As for the rest of your post, it's a gameplay opinion that I disagree with. But even though I think that you are wrong, I can see your point. All I have to add on the subject is that I explained my vote at the time and no one had an issue with it, so I think that the problem is in you - or you're trying to turn it into a problem because of your red alignment.

As long as I continue contributing, my death wouldn't be that much of a problem for town, so I am not afraid of dying.

But now that I refuse to play your game, you try to scare me into doing nothing else but defending myself. If you were town, you would have been happy to let me finish the BKE analysis because it is very important for us. Instead, you chose to be obtrusive, even though I already paid a lot of attention to you. It's not like I said I'm not going to answer you at all. I could have simply pretended I'm not checking the thread but only mafia are scared of some extra attention.

I've explained this a few times already. I saw the Jay lynch as 100% confirmed and wanted to make a point about the way town was going. On Day 1 there was a chance of mafia jumping on one of the other cases and it wouldn't have been as suspicious because some people (EB and myself at least) argued against lynching the lurker. On Day 2, however, there was no argument, so mafia didn't have the option of doing a last minute switch without revealing their whole team.

This was before the deadline. You posted two hours after me and said nothing about my vote. If it was such a concern, you should have pointed it out at the time.

And you really have to start looking at the context. It's not just what someone said, it's the moment they said it and what others had posted prior to that. In this case BH asks me:

"However, you consider ey215 to be scummier, which is why your vote is on ey215. Is this an accurate representation of your views?"

I reply:

"Yes, albeit a short one that doesn't cover some bits"

and now you ask me:

"You're defense is weak, why did you not vote your greatest scum read?"

I did end up voting for my greatest scum read. I would have switched to Jay if I thought there was a chance of mafia manipulating the Day 2 vote but it was so obvious that they were bussing him (and who could blame them, considering his play?) that this wasn't necessary.

I've been very vocal about my views on policy lynches and starting another discussion on LAL won't do town any good, so I won't repeat myself. But I really think that it gives mafia an easy ride. Look at how happy xsk was to jump on it - and he's going to be asleep until the deadline, so he won't be changing his vote for a proper lynch.

Obviously, I'm a minority on policies, so you can do it - but I have no reasons to consider Bbyte mafia and lynching mafia is my priority.

I didn't like how he defended himself yesterday (claiming that it's unfair to accuse him of not chasing mafia because he's been doing analysis... just not sharing it with us) but what followed was even worse: tunneling on EB, trying to discredit Tunkeg, and then going after the lurker. Where are his other reads?

I'll post on Adam in a bit.

Also, I think that if you consider one of the lynch candidates to be mafia, you should go for him. If you think that we are unlikely to catch some mafia tonight, by all means do vote for Bbyte the lurker.

lol, you said that you fought vigorously against the BByte lynch? This is just an outright lie. before the lynch you make several statements such as: there's just one lurker in the game, so lynching Bbyte is somewhat okay.

If you think that we are unlikely to catch some mafia tonight, by all means do vote for Bbyte the lurker.
Then in your last post you even vote for him. "fought vigorously against the BByte lynch" is just complete and utter bullshit.
You were completely willing to vote for him.

So, I was again the Lynch All Lurkers policy from the very beginning. I hope there's no need to prove this at least but I will if someone is lazy enough to want me to.

This is, as most of your arguments, utterly out of context. This was taken from a post in which I made a case on xsk and in the midst of me trying to convince the town not to lynch the lurker. We had agreed to lynch a lurker if we could consolidate on a case. So, I presented my case and the alternative they should go for in case I am not convincing enough. And you ignore the bit on xsk and only take the very last sentence...

've posted more on Jay, look at Day 1 but it's mostly one off remarks (such as pointing out how Jay justified not voting for a lurker by saying that we shouldn't lynch a lurker because a lurker isn't around to defend himself) and I don't see how the last quote was me suggesting that he is probably town. It was me pointing out the scumminess of EY's reasoning, and at that moment it was to be expected that mafia would jump on the Jay bandwagon.
At the moment I think that Jay is more likely to be scum because if he's not, we have EY, xsk, and Adam left, and I consider Adam to be the worst lynch out of the players I am suspicious of (Adam, Jay, EY, xsk, BKE)

"more likely" = "best read"? To quote you again, "seriously?"

you say you are uneasy about the lynch being easily decided but feeling uneasy when facing uncertainty is not a reason to not follow the obvious course of action. If you had genuine reservations about what was happening you should have tried to come up with a better alternative and you should not have tried to pursue a worse course of action because doing so is anti-town.

So you're accusing me of not being able to come up with some super smart solution for town? I am pretty happy with what the results considering the situation.

additionaly i have already explained that the wifom perspective is not relevant so an explanation of it is similarly worthless posting that looks like a contribution (which in itself is scum like).

You are a liar. I wasn't happy to be on the Day 1 bandwagon and it is obvious from all the effort I put in my attempts to prevent it.

And where is my motive for not voting for Jay? Seriously? If I'm mafia, what is my motive? Are you saying that I knew that someone was mafia and outright refused to vote for him in order to look more suspicious after the red flip? Did I try to save Jay by not voting? Anyone with half a brain would know that he was dead a few hours into Day 2 - and yet I decided not to switch to him for ~36 hours in order to gain absolutely nothing out of it?

i fail to see how i have "lied"
im not suggesting a motive i suggesting that your actions are anti town, trying to come up with a motive in this circumstance is unreliable and unhelpful

So you're not actually accusing me of being mafia, you're just using your time to point out that I'm playing badly?

Well, I don't see how I'm a bad townie. How did my actions hurt the town? Surely if they're so anti-town, you should be able to prove it.

its "really obvious" that you "really tried" to prevent it what with you being on it. the argument that you didn't want to waste you vote and that a late vote switch is not a bad one but i cannot accept it from you when you through your actions tried to push a day 2 lynch on a player a few hours before the deadline or simply wasted you vote which could have accommodated a last minute vote switch (you + tunkeg had voted a couple of voteswitches could have easily changed the lynch).

It's funny that you are actually drawing attention to how my actions were in no way anti-town without realising it.

Everyone can check what happened during the last 10 hours of Day 1 and decide for himself/herself whether it was obvious that I was trying to prevent Bbyte's lynch.

And everyone can go re-read Day 2 and decide for himself/herself whether it was possible for the mafia to switch from Jay without sacrificing their whole team and thus forfeiting the game.

See, you are missing something important: on Day 1 we actually had alternative cases, so a switch was very much possible. On Day 2 pretty much everyone voted on Jay from the beginning. Any attempt to lynch someone else would have been identified immediately.

You lynch your best read. You don't start looking for excuses for when the player you're voting for flips town.

Yes, because I did such a great job laying under the radar before. Let's see, pissing match with the most active/aggressive player in the thread. Check.

You didn't want to get into the "pissing match" with BH, you were forced to by his aggressiveness. And using lurking as a proof that you haven't been staying under the radar is a pretty solid point if you're building a case against yourself.

You were out of the picture when every good mafia wants to be: during the last ~12 hours before the deadline, so you did a great job.

What is there to be said about EB? His play was arrogant and trollish. He was obviously a veteran smurfing, who thought it would be fun to frustrate the townies (refusing to vote just when he was asked to the most active player in the game just because he felt like irritating us) and then giving us a great demonstration of how a town player has to prove his innocence when attacked.

Before the game started (and also in the Looking For Coaches thread) some veterans suggested that there should be some experienced players in this game to help teach the newbies how to play properly. Instead we get a cocky smurf. There was no way to make a good guess about his intentions, which is the reason why I'm not all over Hassy at the moment. EB was good enough to make us do anything he wanted to as long as he was interested in putting a serious effort in the game, and I have no reason to believe that his intentions were pro-town, even after his flip. Ask veterans such as Sandroba and Palmar and they will tell you that the first thing a townie should do is to establish his/her innocence. The first thing EB did was to frustrate town and lose us half a day. So what good would it do to town to focus on him again instead of doing our own analysis? All you're achieving with this is disruping the discussion.

you have stated that you should only vote for mafia and that you should lynch your best read



Example #2: Cutting of half of my example. The bit in red is what Grackaroni posted and the green is what I wrote. Note that layabout didn't use the quote function - he simply marked what he wanted with his mouse. You will notice this clearly if you have a look at his original post (link, compare the second and the third quote).

you have stated that you should only vote for mafia and that you should lynch your best read
and yet in the above quote you do not do that

In the "above quote" I was pushing for my best read - EY - and I voted for him 45 later.

Moreover, this might even turn out to be a blatant scumslip. How does layabout know that I did not vote for mafia? I kept my vote on EY and did not switch to Jay. So, if EY is town, it appears to be true: I did not vote for mafia (Jay) but I did the opposite instead.

Read it again:

you have stated that you should only vote for mafia and that you should lynch your best read
and yet in the above quote you do not do that


It can be just bad wording but it makes me very suspicious.

Here's what I wrote on Adam earlier in case you're lazy and can't be bothered to check it out:
+ Show Spoiler +


I'll check the thread again before going to bed.

you have a strong case on a player but you would rather not post it and you would rather vote for someone other than your best read? seriously?


He calls me out for this post and there's two interesting bits here.

layabout posted "you have a strong case on a player but you would rather not post it and you would rather vote for someone other than your best read? seriously?"
Yet I never voted for Adam and the post layabout quoted was me saying that I don't hjave a good case on Adam.

Furthermore, I had posted my thoughts on EY throughout the day. There's 1 2 3 4 5 posts that have stuff on EY just from the first half of Day 1. This is lot for such a short period of time. Yet layabout tries to discredit me for not posting my case. In fact, I actually got called out for tunneling EY a bit too much (Grackaroni comes to mind but I think there were others as well), so I decided that it would be more productive if I focus on other players until the end of the day and I went after xsk and Adam.

Eventually, I realised that my case on Adam wasn't good enough and I wrote "Pretty much all I have on Adam is based on two of his posts that push pro-mafia agenda. Now that I think about it, I have a much stronger case on ey215", so I stuck to what I had on xsk. Note that this was hours after I had decided not to go after EY until Day 2.

Actually, it gets even better. See, what I did after moving away from EY was to build my case on xsk, the player layabout eventually substituted. layabout used a comparisson I made between two of my cases - on EY and Adam - to criticise me for switching from EY to xsk.

So, to recap:
- he quoted two posts that had more than 24 hours between them to prove that I did not focus on my main read (EY), while disregarding everything that happened in the meanwhile that made me focus on someone else (xsk);
- layabout misrepresented the truth by accusing me of not posting on EY even though I clearly did;
- used what I wrote on Adam to discredit me for voting for xsk, the player layabout replaced.

He was obviously a veteran smurfing, who thought it would be fun to frustrate the townies (refusing to vote just when he was asked to the most active player in the game just because he felt like irritating us) and then giving us a great demonstration of how a town player has to prove his innocence when attacked. He posted a great case that lacked obvious flaws - and then he was happy to go inactive again. He came back to announce that he's found the whole mafia team - but didn't bother providing any analysis on two of the players he accused. And he also made sure to notify us that the Bbyte lynch was pushed easily...

Before the game started (and also in the Looking For Coaches thread) some veterans suggested that there should be some experienced players in this game to help teach the newbies how to play properly. Instead we get a cocky smurf. There was no way to make a good guess about his intentions, which is the reason why I'm not all over Hassy at the moment. EB was good enough to make us do anything he wanted to as long as he was interested in putting a serious effort in the game, and I have no reason to believe that his intentions were pro-town, even after his flip. Ask veterans such as Sandroba and Palmar and they will tell you that the first thing a townie should do is to establish his/her innocence. The first thing EB did was to frustrate town and lose us half a day. So what good would it do to town to focus on him again instead of doing our own analysis? All you're achieving with this is disruping the discussion.

you have stated that you should only vote for mafia and that you should lynch your best read



Example #2: Cutting of half of my example. The bit in red is what Grackaroni posted and the green is what I wrote. Note that layabout didn't use the quote function - he simply marked what he wanted with his mouse. You will notice this clearly if you have a look at his original post (link, compare the second and the third quote).

Vote for Jay and be accused of sheeping after BH and bandwagonning (remember Tunkeg and his analysis of the Bbyte lynch?)

you call his "reasoning" (i see a simple statement of fact) "pure WIFOM"
well where is the pure wifom in this?


And here you can see the rest of my post; the bit in green is what layabout omitted.

I've posted more on Jay, look at Day 1 but it's mostly one off remarks (such as pointing out how Jay justified not voting for a lurker by saying that we shouldn't lynch a lurker because a lurker isn't around to defend himself) and I don't see how the last quote was me suggesting that he is probably town. It was me pointing out the scumminess of EY's reasoning, and at that moment it was to be expected that mafia would jump on the Jay bandwagon.
At the moment I think that Jay is more likely to be scum because if he's not, we have EY, xsk, and Adam left, and I consider Adam to be the worst lynch out of the players I am suspicious of (Adam, Jay, EY, xsk, BKE)

Let's also consider me being mafia for the sake of discussing my actions. Vote for Jay and get accused of bandwagonning, or don't and be accused of not voting for the obvious mafia? It works both ways.

Town does not vote to punish bad play. Town votes to lynch mafia.


Right, and right now the best case for scum I've seen is the one on jay. I don't think it's currently possible to be 100% sold on anyone at the moment town or scum. I've read the filters, and have nothing unique to add to the discussion so why clog the thread up even further?

Am I supposed to be like, "FUCK YEAH WE'RE KILLING SCUM!" Besides BH, I don't think anyone is 100% sure on jay, but at the moment it's the best we've got. Hopefully it solidifies later in the day, or someone else catches something


You lynch your best read. You don't start looking for excuses for when the player you're voting for flips town.

Yes, because I did such a great job laying under the radar before. Let's see, pissing match with the most active/aggressive player in the thread. Check.

Getting myself warned for inactivity in big blue letters to point it out to everyone. Check.

Great job I'm doing staying under the radar.

You didn't want to get into the "pissing match" with BH, you were forced to by his aggressiveness. And using lurking as a proof that you haven't been staying under the radar is a pretty solid point if you're building a case against yourself.

You were out of the picture when every good mafia wants to be: during the last ~12 hours before the deadline, so you did a great job.

you have stated that you should only vote for mafia and that you should lynch your best read
and yet in the above quote you do not do that

In the "above quote" I was pushing for my best read - EY - and I voted for him 45 later.

Moreover, this might even turn out to be a blatant scumslip. How does layabout know that I did not vote for mafia? I kept my vote on EY and did not switch to Jay. So, if EY is town, it appears to be true: I did not vote for mafia (Jay) but I did the opposite instead.

Read it again:

you have stated that you should only vote for mafia and that you should lynch your best read
and yet in the above quote you do not do that


It can be just bad wording but it makes me very suspicious.

This one may be a bit boring as I have to go through the thread post by post but I think it's worth reading.

Here's what I wrote on Adam earlier in case you're lazy and can't be bothered to check it out:

I'll check the thread again before going to bed.

you have a strong case on a player but you would rather not post it and you would rather vote for someone other than your best read? seriously?


He calls me out for this post and there's two interesting bits here.

layabout posted "you have a strong case on a player but you would rather not post it and you would rather vote for someone other than your best read? seriously?"
Yet I never voted for Adam and the post layabout quoted was me saying that I don't hjave a good case on Adam.

Furthermore, I had posted my thoughts on EY throughout the day. There's 1 2 3 4 5 posts that have stuff on EY just from the first half of Day 1. This is lot for such a short period of time. Yet layabout tries to discredit me for not posting my case. In fact, I actually got called out for tunneling EY a bit too much (Grackaroni comes to mind but I think there were others as well), so I decided that it would be more productive if I focus on other players until the end of the day and I went after xsk and Adam.

Eventually, I realised that my case on Adam wasn't good enough and I wrote "Pretty much all I have on Adam is based on two of his posts that push pro-mafia agenda. Now that I think about it, I have a much stronger case on ey215", so I stuck to what I had on xsk. Note that this was hours after I had decided not to go after EY until Day 2.

Actually, it gets even better. See, what I did after moving away from EY was to build my case on xsk, the player layabout eventually substituted. layabout used a comparisson I made between two of my cases - on EY and Adam - to criticise me for switching from EY to xsk.

So, to recap:
- he quoted two posts that had more than 24 hours between them to prove that I did not focus on my main read (EY), while disregarding everything that happened in the meanwhile that made me focus on someone else (xsk);
- layabout misrepresented the truth by accusing me of not posting on EY even though I clearly did;
- used what I wrote on Adam to discredit me for voting for xsk, the player layabout replaced.

Sorry, I forgot to clarify. I was talking about your day 1 vote.

You bring up WIFOM in your explanation of Grack's posts, but you also use it in your defense. (Let's keep in mind that Grack flipped town, and if you know enough to pick WIFOM on him you should know not to use it). You actually bring up WIFOM multiple times and should know better than to use it: "Let's also consider me being mafia for the sake of discussing my actions".

You try to invoke Lynch All Liars when that's not what it's used for (see Tunkeg's response to me Day 2. I derped but it's a reasonable point nonetheless).

What do I think of your posts on layabout? Either it's an elegant bus (which I doubt, with only 2 scum left) or he's got a good read on you and you're trying to get out of it.

Continued: Your voting for ey215 over the overwhelming day 2 lynch concerns me as well. You say that you want to ensure nothing happens to the bandwagon in Day 1 (when we overwhelmingly voted BByte), but you're okay with voting ey215 on Day 2 (when we also overwhelmingly voted JB). Inconsistent? Absolutely. We were clear in our decision both days, yet one day you're okay with not voting the clear scum in favour of someone that some people even have a town read on, and you're comfortable voting the townie on Day 1. Weird.

I even posted him links to everything relevant on this very page. How am I supposed not to get frustrated? If he wants to write a case on me or anything, great, go for it. If he has any questions, I'll answer them. But repeating things that I have already answered to that clearly indicated that he hasn't bothered putting the work in...

A summary of xtfftc's actions so that we can be clear
everthing i am summarising can be found in his filter or the past few pages in quotes or things he himself has said

on day 1 xtfftc indicated that he had a strong case on eye215 (very early in the game he has said he finds eye215 scummy, i would argue that he thought this too early and that if his case was genuine and strong then eye215 should be dead)
on day 1 he vocally oppossed lynching Bbyte
on day 1 he joined the "bandwagon" on Bbyte
+ Show Spoiler +
he claimed to have a strong case (early in day1) on eye215 making him his best read, he later switched to xcksc possibly making him his best read, and he also said that adam may have been a good lynch. but he didn't vote for any of them???the reasoning of voting to prevent a voteswitch is almost acceptable but he later takes a very different stance


at a point day 2 he did say that jay was his strongest read
he tried to move discussion away from jay + Show Spoiler +
he did not do it because he was proposing a better case or to find scum for the next day lynch but acted in a way that potentially could have saved jay

he proposed a case on eye215 (based primarily on analysis of day1
he justified voting for him because he didn't wish to be accused of bandwagoning
he left his vote on eye215 to remind people that we have to lynch the whole mafia team (which makes no sense whatsoever)
he did not vote for jay
+ Show Spoiler +
at the start of day 2 there was a strong case on a member of the mafia team (town didn't know he was mafia) xtfftc has previously called jay suspicious but he then decided that voting for a player he thought was scum could lead to him being accused of bandwagoning and that the risk of being accused of bandwagoning was not worth commiting to voting for jay.only scum fear being accused, and bandwagoning is something that by definition you do with other people so it simply isn't a good reason for at lynch at all, he may get increased attention which a town player should use to support their innocence.
He also stated that he would switch his vote back if it looked like a voteswitch could happen, which contradicts the only reasonable explanation for his day1 actions. he voted in a way that could have lead to a voteswitch off of a player he thought was probably scum this makes a lot more sense if he is mafia himself


on day 3 he voted for BK
i asked him to justify his previous behaviour
+ Show Spoiler +
what happened to his case on eye215 i wonder?

he has not explained these actions satisfactorily
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explanation

he has evaded explaining how these mafia are reasonable town actions
he has attempted to twist the things i had previously said + Show Spoiler +
he criticised me for quoting (in a spoiler) an entire post and highlighting the key bit, he also accused me of cherry picking when i left out irrelevant information that had nothing to do with my point and did not put his statements into better context


he denied saying that jay was his best read (a lie) + Show Spoiler +
read this post and this post you should aslo check his filter above and below to place it into context, jay was fairly doomed at this point and xtfftc says that he thinks he is mafia

he propsed a LAL against his accuser (me) because i said he was happy to be on the Bbyte lynch, and yet he was on it.
he has OMGUS'd against me by calling me scum without properly justifying his doing so
he has forced wifom logic into situations in which it should not be applied to confuse and defsnd himself
he has linked a lot to previous posts but he has not explained himself, posting so much without answering what you claim you are answering has cluttered the thread and is not helpful to town (if he is town, which he is not)

he has also stated that as town you have lynch to kill mafia, and that you have to lynch your strongest scum read
(this pops up in vers XXX analysis in which a player (tree hugger)does almost exactly what he has done)

he words and his actions do not match
the only players that would have motivation to act the way he has are Mafia

by the way if you were role blocked last night then you should claim

if a town was roleblocked they should share the information (town can benefit from information)
and if mafia is stupid then by claiming roleblock they could be counter claimed and town could trade 1 for 1
if mafia claims to have been roleblocked to ensure they cannot be counter claimed they must not roleblock a town.

no matter who claims the only outcomes benefit town

There's a question mark in "Lynch All Liars?" for a reason. I raised a point for everyone to discuss: would a town player really try to twist "more likely" said in a certain context into "best read". Like always, I was trying to facilitate a discussion. See, we're not talking about a case in this situation. We are talking about deliberately taking one's words and turning them into something else. I provided quotes to demonstrate what he did but you still haven't commented on it.

Your original case was good, your new material was herp-derp. I think I am okay with a Jay lynch for now but I have to re-read his posts first. I was planing to make an analysis of him yesterday, so he's on my to-do list for tonight with Velinath.

I am not happy with those jumping on the Jay lynch though. You know my case on Adam and Velinath is someone who warrants a good long look, considering his recent posts. Posting about how he's suspicious of people jumping on the Bbyte lynch (not to mention he didn't bother pointing out what actually happened in my case) and then jumping on the Jay bandwagon just like that:

First off, I was roleblocked last night.

Secondly, yes, I agree with this lynch. Scummy posts after Night 1 and the analyses posted? No question. Hassy can be saved for tomorrow.

##Vote: jaybrundage

How about posting his own views before voting? He goes on to add some stuff later which sound okay but that's not enough.


Calls part of my case good, part of it bad. Said he's ok with a Jay lynch, but needs to re-read his post. Says he is not happy with those who are lynching him. Hedging.

It IS everyone’s fault that Bbyte ended up dead. We had 6 people follow BH’s invoking of a lurker lynch almost blindly, that is their failings and as BH has pointed out since, its also the failing of everyone else that none of us had put forward a compelling enough case to keep Bbyte off the hangman’s noose.

Parroting what Veli said. Yes, it is everyone's fault that we couldn't consolidate on a proper case but no, we didn't have 6 people follow BH's invoking of a lurker lynch almost blindly. Sounds like mafia trying to make us think that this wasn't as bad of a loss as it was to me.

Briefly looking over you new case its pretty shitty with no content.

Nice use of caps to make it seem like you have a point. Your "core of your argument. Is also dumb is stated multiple times i did not like the Bbyte case. I'm not gonna let you steamroll the townies into another mislynch.

Ill give people some time to read my case before i comment again. I was not expecting EB to get killed i was thinking either BH Veli maybe Grack even. I really wish he had posted his case on me instead of his empty comment that he thinks I'm mafia.



Are you kidding? He’s spent hours looking at your filter and you “briefly look” at it. You might want to go back and examine the SHIT out of his case on you and start defending yourself properly. Calling his case “shit” is tantamount to saying “no u r”, it might have worked when you were 7, but its not flying here.


This is a great point (Jay either scumslipped really badly or he spends more time writing his own posts than analysing others, which is pretty bad), but Adam sure likes adding fluff to his arguments. All he needed was the bolded bit, everything else is completely pointless.

Is this a slip? “I'm not gonna let you steamroll the townies into another mislynch.”. You are part of the town… shouldn’t this read “im not going to let you steamroll us into another myslynch”, unless of course you don’t consider yourself part of the town.

This is pretty bad. What is the right way to say it then? "I'm not going to let you steamroll me into mislynching myself"? I will revisit my suspicion from yesteyday when I thought that Adam might be bussing Jay.


This is actually a discussion of Adam's post, but he notes that JB scumslipped, and suspects Adam may be bussing him (which is to say, Adam suspects JB of being scum)

Finally, talking to ey215

Town does not vote to punish bad play. Town votes to lynch mafia.

Fuck, I can't believe I'm jumping on the bandwagon but at the moment I don't see a better lynch option.

How about making a case or pushing the discussion further with some analysis?

I know I said I'm going to look at Jay and Velinath like 10 minutes ago but I can't allow ey215 to stay under the radar like this for another day.


It sounds like you don't think JB is mafia. You've admitted he scumslips, you suspect Adam is bussing him, and you found my initial case on him convincing.

Where do you stand?

I've posted more on Jay, look at Day 1 but it's mostly one off remarks (such as pointing out how Jay justified not voting for a lurker by saying that we shouldn't lynch a lurker because a lurker isn't around to defend himself) and I don't see how the last quote was me suggesting that he is probably town. It was me pointing out the scumminess of EY's reasoning, and at that moment it was to be expected that mafia would jump on the Jay bandwagon.
At the moment I think that Jay is more likely to be scum because if he's not, we have EY, xsk, and Adam left, and I consider Adam to be the worst lynch out of the players I am suspicious of (Adam, Jay, EY, xsk, BKE)

Looking at him as an individual, he is one of the three scummiest (along with EY and xsk), so I consider him more likely to be mafia than not. Looking at him in the context of the potential mafia teams I see, I find his team (Jay, BKE, and one of xsk/EY) more likely than the alternative (xsk/EY/Adam).


And yet layabout has insinuated that Jay was my best read. Comment on this at least. WIll you bother finding a post in which I call Jay my best read? And if you don't, what do we do with layabout, who does not admit that what he said was wrong? In case you wonder, this is the post he refers to:

liar liar liar

You want to lynch me for calling him a liar but it's okay when he does it? Double standard much?


As for the rest - you've provided three sentences and that's all. Why you'd avoid analysing all that information if you really think that I'm mafia is beyond me.

And layabout has provided yet another post with lots of statement and no evidence while waiting for Veli to vote first.

hahahahahahaha

the evidence is all over the thread
that was a clear summary to avoid confusion and a formatting hell for myself
almost everything in there has been raised as an issue before and that your next post ignores my arguements and does not answer the issue. yet again you have made a big post and given precisely fuck all to the thread.

"waits for veli to vote first?"
the nightend/daystart post was at 3am for me, i got up at 8:am and went to study at 8:30, i got back home at 4pm and i was tutoring someone from 4pm - 5:30 pm

besides not being the 1st to vote for you is a no tell that has next to no bearing on my alignment, it is a piece of information with monumental uselessness. Scum would be more likely to make a point like than than town would (because town saying as such should realise that it holds no value whilst mafia just want to deflect attention/scumhunting from themselves onto others). It is desperate.

wait a minute, are you seriously saying that a QUESTION MARK excuses you trying to manipulate a false policy lynch? That's hilarious. I can't take you seriously anymore. (hint: I don't buy this crap at all, and now I really DO think you're lying)

There's no double standard. He's said over and over and over that you aren't providing explanation - you aren't.
