Shortened your analysis of everyone for you happy. Because sneezy's nice like that.

Because I obviously didn't go and reread the entire thread by person.

Ok, lets pretend that my posted that exact post except I didn't say to check myself. Are you still suspicious?

personally, I would be because a plan that relies on judging people's relative force of personality in a group that doesn't take into effect your own effect on that group is fucking stupid.

A surveying example:
If we were measuring the tallest mountains in the world, wouldn't you want to know what elevation you're measuring from? Perhaps you're at sea level, or maybe you're at -1000 sea level. Things like that can seriously screw up surveying. Unless you can actually climb the mountain and measure it yourself (ie rolecheck/killing in a reveal flip game) you need to know precicely where you stand with regards to your target.

Same thing goes for this game. If I were to come up with a plan that basically says "Everyone who has tried to post an idea so far is possibly mafia," wouldn't you be suspicious if I didn't acknowledge that I could be the mafia trying to fit in? I'm posting an idea after all. My own plan implicates me by ommission.

You should be suspicious of me, since my theory demands that you do so. Now that i've come up with a solid plan and idea this early in the game, the chances of me being mafia have risen dramatically. I'm not, of course, but you have no way of knowing that. By drawing attention to myself in this way I'm forcing you to play it safe, which is the way that you should be playing anyway. I'm not going to let this game devolve into xxxviii.


What the hell is all this? You've got an entire essay here that could exist in two sentences. Overreaction much?

It's common sense that scum have something to be guilty about. Thus, they tend to feel a need to defend / implicate themselves even when all eyes aren't necessarily scrutinizing their posts. Would I be as suspicious of your post if you didn't implicate yourself? No. Does that matter? No.


Just because your playstyle dictates that players that come up with good plans are automatically green doesnt mean that mine does, especially for a plan like mine which is recursive and logically demands that I include myself in it. But whatever, you're acting the most scummy this game.


Why am I most scummy? Come at me, bro. All that's been brought against me in particular is that in my first post of the game happy "felt the tone was off". (for the record, I think happy is most likely to be town out of everybody)

Your "plan" came down to "here's two players having an argument, we should have a DT (never mind that there might not be a DT, and it'll be hell confirming one) check one of them". Offering yourself up for a check doesn't add anything to your plan and only further confused the issue.

Basically, it didn't feel like a plan, it felt like you were suggesting that you should be checked because you strongly suspected two other people, which made no sense at all.


oh is THAT what you were confused about?

My point was that 1. two people are making a lot of ruckus and 2. people who put themselves out in the open early in the game are more likely to be mafia.

You can disagree with that if you want I guess, nobody's forcing you to believe it. If you read the rest of the post I actually say that you're probably town.

Ok, only smurf accounts should post in this thread, and people, please check your accounts before you post


Another good way is to disable remember me and make sure to log in on your smurf so if you post as you read as SOME PEOPLE obviously do then your at least on the right account.


The last one clearly showing that he is following the thread and yet not saying much about the conversation at hand. What up doc?

Then why did you want to be checked? I still see that question veing dodged its fine that you gove some DT targets but i still am curious why wanted THAT.

Mass claiming in this setup is idiotic as we have an almost zero chance of confirming claims and it gives scum much much better shots. If there is a DT and you find scum then by all means claim if you feel the time is right but don't be a medic and claim because your under zero pressure snd someone has a bright idea to go HUR DUR WE SHUD ROLECLAIM D1-D2.

On a side note sorry if ive seemed spammy but I cannot tell exactly why. Regardless I'm still not the worst person here (see sneezy).

I think the role claims, while giving us information when we do decide to use the flip ability, gives more information to the mafia than to us. We only get info we can semi trust when we use the flip. Mafia will be getting information every time people claim. Say someone claims medic and gets lynched. We don't know if he's telling the truth or not but if he's trying to give us info that we can use for when the flip happens then he isn't lying. In that case the mafia knows that

1) A medic is getting lynch
2) They shouldn't claim medic cause it'll be suspicious to have 2 in a game

It's a double edged sword and I think the information we can gain is canceled out by the information we're giving out to the mafia making it a zero sum game, maybe even negative sum game in the end

I sort of lose you on point 2 in your example. But I think I see what you mean.

Because Sneezy is at least here at that oneliner he posted was just stupid through snd through. I would like to see one post before I completely pass judgement on a person.

Which oneliner are you speaking of?

How is Sneezy 'worse' than Claudius when he's actually had a post taking a stance on one person (albit you) while Claudius has only spam to his name, and last posted here when there was plenty to talk about, while Sneezy has actually been absent while a lot of stuff was going on. And now that he's back, he's contributing.

That comment was like, an afterthought i added in on a whim and its all anyone notices from my plan.

I've explained why i included myself in there like 4 times now, I'm not doing it again.


My top 3 list (useless this early in the game, but whatever it was requested). not in any particular order.

1. sneezy because he suddenly 'came back online' the second i applied pressure, but he didn't argue or do anything or even post anything useful

2. one of caligula/augustus for the reasons i posted before.

3. Nobody yet, possibly doc but im not sure yet.
