And what does my post count have to do with anything? I'm just reading this time, last game I played, I talked and posted here and there and I got killed by my own people even though I was a townie. So I rather just read and vote on who I think best fits into everything and right now Ace seems to jittery about everything.

Cut it out opz and fishball. If anything, respond to citizen's post


We need to continue talking so here is a summary of each player's posts up to page 82 for those who don't want to or cannot spend their time reading everything. This is kinda long, but it's still better than spending a day catching up:

Ver
+ Show Spoiler +

- argues that overly discussing clues helps the mafia
- talking is good. using clues to start talking is not much good in the first two days.
- mayoral candidates need to have a plan [E.N. I don't believe any had one]
- accuses BC based on past behavior (mayoral post) -- seems like a legitimate accusation
- Bill Murray seems innocent to him
- praises L for not doing a half-assed job with clues.
- does not want to be mayor because of how much time it would take.
- mafia are sitting back and scheming according to Ver
- those making real contributions up to that point (he fails to give out names) are innocent.
- brings up meeple claiming that he's suspicious. Meeple is largely ignored.
- extremely certain that at least Ace or L is mafia (02/15/10 @ 09:14)
- one of his posts was a trap. He says the following people seem to have fallen for it: Empyrean, Nikoner, dozko, 789, Midori, and Bloodyc0bbler. All these people changed their behavior after the post, and it's very likely that they read it.
- provides his own game plan (mayoral candidates had not done this yet) -- once again, very sound. clearly typed up before hand
- comes up with a list of people who have been useless this game
- publicly misinterprets BC's actions as "calculated"
- brings up meeple again (ignored largely)
- comes up with a medic list
- comes up with a detective check list
- took a hit during the night (he was on the medic list, too)
- goes back and summarizes (not analyzes) the dead people's points
- creates an "important posts" post


Extremely quick analysis
Ver has been giving out a lot of hints this game and seems to have taken over the role of teacher for those who have not played the game as much as him. Although his intentions seem clear, he has not yet been right in his accusations, and it's possible that his accusations were meant to waste another mafia family's hits for the night. If Ver does not continue taking hits at night, something's up. His helpfulness throughout the entire game so far, indicates to me, at least, that he isn't working with another group (meaning he's only working with the town). Also, no mafia died at night. I should hope that at least one would have had Ver been on their team. (Nevertheless, Ver could be hoping to use PM information to find the other mafia family. He can actually play as part of the town finding other mafia members.)


DoctorHelvetica
+ Show Spoiler +

- agrees that clues speculation helps the mafia. He just states that as his opinion
- but we should make clue themes
- runs for mayor on the platform that he will almost blindly follow the town (unless it cures him of his blindness through its blatant stupidity)
- agrees with ver's big posts about how to play the game in the beginning
- suspicious of L using clues (says this is bad by pointing to big names who oppose this method)
- points out that Bill Murray's posts have "so many fucking things wrong" with them, and responds to each of them. convinced BM is mafia
- makes an argument compilation up to page 24 @ 07:40
- flip flops from BM to empyream to Ace.
- spams the thread senselessly by replying to BM's troll attempts
- clue links mystlord (February 16 2010 07:24)
- suspicious of zona (clue links) (February 16 2010 09:40)

Very Quick Analysis
DoctorHelvetica is very active for the majority of the game claiming that he's on the internet all day, and when he's not in this thread, he's watching the TSL or some hornet (?) game. He often makes an effort to contribute, but he falls into the clue analysis he claims cannot possibly be helpful (so hypocrite), and he spams the thread. He's indecisive about who he thinks is red: he went from L to Ace/redtooth to BM to mystlord/zona. This is probably because he's impulsive in his posting, and besides the 4-5 very good posts he's made, he treats this thread more like an instant messenger program.


MasterDana
+ Show Spoiler +

-runs for mayor because he's a nice guy
- accuses 789 of being mafia (clue based) (February 15 2010 16:23) His connections seem very shaky at best (especially because he makes more than just one).
- asks numerous self-explanatory questions like "Is this as big a deal as it seems? In previous games, has a Mafia Mayor done a huge amount of damage?"
- defends his ignorance by saying he's really ignorant
- exaggerates the "aggression" towards him

Very Quick Analysis
He's been exceedingly suspicious the entire game. He makes a half-assed attempt at clue analysis which just doesn't hold up. He stays silent the entire game asking rather silly questions. If this were not his first game (or so he claims), I would proclaim rather confidently that he's scummy.



Johnnyspaz
+ Show Spoiler +

- blames inactivity for the first night on family (after the game begins)
- contributes nothing by laughing at how bill murray already got caught in his posting (inaccurate representation, I believe, of what was going on)
- ready to change votes
- says it's difficult to read long posts
- white particles in his book mean dandelions or snow.

Analysis
Largely useless the entire game. He's one of those people lurking the thread coming out every now and then to say "I agree with X." He seems to be trying to contribute with clue analysis, but he's not doing a very good or convincing job at it at all.




citi.zen
+ Show Spoiler +

- runs for office
- disagrees with Ace and Ver. Analyzing clues, on balance, helps the town.
- makes some clue connections for the following people: BC, Ace, empyrean, amber, fishball, zato, mystlord, cynanmachae
- long behavioral post on stuff he's noticed
- spams the thread himself with something he thought was amusing (after complaining that it's easy to bury good posts with spam)
- suggests that Lucaswoj and ver are working together in the same mafia
- shyly suggests that zona is not posting as actively as he should be
- a second clue analysis post in which he finds connections from the night before, and links vivi57, xelin, quickstriker, nikkoner, meeple, ohn, mystlord, Phrujbaz. [Note: he uses the same connection johnnyspaz used earlier)

Analysis
Citi.zen does a lot to help the town. His clue analysis was admittedly weak on some people, and seemingly legitimate on others. He's not afraid to call out Ace, Ver, etc.




vivi57
+ Show Spoiler +

- started late; reads through thread slowly so cannot respond to much.
- clue very important
- believes Ace and BC to be in the same family with empyrean in there as well (coincidentally, another mafia family thought so as well).
- wasted a mafia family's hits in posting that
- medics should protect the mafia ver and mafia BC
- useless spam

Analysis
He hasn't posted much, and what he has hurt the town. He's also spamming, so only further anti-town.




LucasWoJ
+ Show Spoiler +


Wouldn't be fair to do this myself


Xelin
+ Show Spoiler +

He's posted so few times you might as well read what he's said:

Oh no Bill what hast thou done!! Trying to come up with a plausible explanation for how "other" slipped in there but im drawing blank.

Firstly the activity in this game is amazing, expected to wake up with a good few pages to read, did not expect 20+...

Not entirely sure on who to vote for atm, going to have to go over the thread without skim reading, but I'm glad Bloody emphasised just how bad 10f's plan was (If elected he said he would lynch someone who was Mafia from a previous game) and can't believe more people didnt bring this up, but as I said have only skimmed so far.

Ok, I have been exceptionally busy with uni work over the last 2 days and has such havent trusted myself to use the internet (If i do i get no work done simple as that) Apologies for being inactive, I can and will be active from this point on.

Have spent the last hour and a half going through the thread and firstly Ace turning green suprised me, simply reading the whole thread in one big chunk and i felt he was contributing little and not defending himself against accusations well (and he is meant to be a veteran player).

Bill Murray, there seems to be some kind of idea especially at an earlier stage in the thread that he is clearly "innocent". From reading his posts I get quite the opposite feeling, he has been influential and accusatory, even changing votes last minute although was one of the few people who also changed last minute to give an explanation namely: "I didn't want Red to be pardoner". I would be inclined to consider him Mafia far more than a townie, but this is mostly on impression from going through the thread in one big chunk.

Anyway now I'm going to dedicate some time to something I did none of in the last mafia game and try to analyse some clues!

One thing that immediately strikes me about the Day 2 post is the Fairy Tale connection that seems inherent within it.

Remeniscient of the "3 little piggies" or "3 bears" and seems like an underlying structure of the whole post.



Analysis
He adds nothing important to the discussion, and makes a false promise. He has NOT been active since yesterday, when he claimed he would be. His clue analysis is an observation. He doesn't expand on it at all, so I can't garnish any information from that. Right now, his posts have little content and value. I want to see that activity he promised several hours ago.



Amber[Light]
+ Show Spoiler +

- disagreed initially with Ver, but over the course of writing a rebuttal, he agreed with him.
- points out that random people are voting BM and says that town should stop with the Ace BS.
- makes a very useful post summarizing several key players

Analysis
He intentionally skews people's opinions (or makes them into extremes, at least) in order to generate some discussion. He certainly accomplishes this.





fishball
+ Show Spoiler +

- claims green townie
- would lynch abenson first
- very few posts at all, yet claims to be reading

Analysis
Typical fishball. Not enough information to really conclude anything. Very bad for town, and ought to start contributing soon.



quickstriker
+ Show Spoiler +

- says he will be back a little later at the start of the game and comes back 8 hours later impressed by the length of the thread
- wants a summary of pages 24-40
- comes in the next day, lol, and shouts before asking for a summary of pages 40-81. Rather, he EXPECTS a summary.

This guy is extremely amusing. Search all of his posts. It's the most useless crap I've ever seen. He's so lazy that he demands a summary of everything. Very anti-town and ought to start contributing to the town soon.



789
+ Show Spoiler +

- misses the first day of gameplay (Gregorian calendar; not mafia time), and gives an excuse for missing part of the next
- defends himself by saying clues lean more toward Ace and empyrean. Very soft-spoken.
- most of his posts are self-evident "fluff posts"
- clues are useless because they point to me and that shouldn't be
- acknowledges both days that the clues fit him
- accuses Zona [IMPORTANT]

Analysis
He talks often, and although he contributes something, his posts often seem empty. He goes out on a limb in day 2 accusing zona of being the last remaining person left who could fit the clue empyrean and Ace both fit. He is right about his limited activity. He could be green or mafia hoping to eliminate the other mafia family.



dozko
+ Show Spoiler +

- disagrees with Ace about clues
- believes L to be green for several reasons: (1) clue analysis at beginning = pro town; (2) voting pattern indicates L is innocent
- calls out xelin for not posting much

Analysis
Doesn't post often, but when he does, his posts are well-thought out. He should post more often to be more useful to the town.


nikoner
+ Show Spoiler +

- joins up after 28 pages
- clues are always right, even if your interpretation of them is wrong. (lololol)
-
lynching a mafia hastily could potentially have a disastrous effect on the game. It's probably best to let them kill off each other for now, while gently making suggestions based on logic and science as to who they should... dispose of.

- mafia running for office
- randomly accuses Phrujbaz of being mafia. NO justification given, so of course, no one cares.
- distraught that redtooth is pushing for office so hard
- advises L not to lynch anyone if that option exists.He's "wary of the possibility that lynching a mafia will lower one family's KP"


Analysis
His logic makes no sense, and he doesn't contribute anything to the town. It seems he's playing the game for personal pride. Better start contributing something soon.

He doesn't even WANT to be mayor.
I nominate tree.hugger for mayor, because the best person with the power is someone who doesn't want to use it.


no

Hilarious, but no.


Analysis
Immediately worthy of being lynched. His lack of contribution to the game is absurd.




Shockeyy
+ Show Spoiler +

- announces that he read everything but besides just that, he says nothing
- spams
- agrees that decafchicken is lurking and is GF


Analysis
Another one with five one-line posts in the thread. His behavior in his posts is very weird. No one's accused him yet. Someone ought to. Do any clues link up to him? Something is very off with him. He's definitely worth another look.



meeple
+ Show Spoiler +

- runs for mayor without a real platform
- stay impartial
- profile the killers in the day posts right away
- BC's out-of-character is not enough to lynch him. (defends BC)
- defends BM; not convinced he's red.
- hunt for mafia; don't rely on mafia crosshits
- responds to trolls
- claims mid-term season is cutting down on his time in mafia, but he has nearly 100 posts in this thread, and he's just about always in here. He might as well stop responding to trolls and post something more useful.
- empyrean is more red than Ace, but Ace, if red, gives us more information
- tells us what a mafia would and would not do [this sets off an alarm]

Analysis
Everything he does strikes me as safe and calculated, so to speak. He's unwilling to take any risks. He lies about inactivity. He's playing like mafia. It's all there.





chezinu
+ Show Spoiler +

troll; I'm not going to waste my time



scamp
+ Show Spoiler +

- claims to be green.
- argues that medics RC'ing at any point is a bad move

Analysis
Green



Zona
+ Show Spoiler +

- town has less impact on the game than mafia.
- game is imbalanced against the town
- town should point out mafia for the other family to kill at night (but concedes that this can be bad because it might result in a superior mafia family)
- defends accusations by saying that being passive this game is the best way to play it from the town's point of view


Comments
Start playing. Passivity doesn't really help the town much either. Being active always helps, even in this format.


L
+ Show Spoiler +

- claims clues blatantly point towards Ace
- clues are going to be easy in this game because of the set-up
- constantly reminds people not to make empty posts because it will discourage others from reading the thread.
- implores that those who do not agree with how he interpretted the clues to post. BC heeds this post. L responds logically to BC's post.
- claims empyrean was apathetic [Note: I think he meant indifferent, and not apathetic.]
- accuses four people of being in mafia clue-wise "nemy, madnessman, mystlord, phrubaz"
- going to post in twelve hours explaining how he reached that conclusion


Analysis
Seems town-sided, but one cannot overlook how royally he screwed up on the clues first day. He was still willing to listen to and respond to others' interpretation of them though.




laaan
+ Show Spoiler +

- potential clue fits: 789, ace, malongo, amber[light], mystlord
- spams the thread with "chezinu makes me giggle"s

On February 15 2010 12:36 Iaaan wrote:
My posts have been a bit lacking of content so far, I'll try to be a bit more insightful.

For the town to win, we do not need to kill mafia; the Mafia‘s own KP will be the greatest weapon against the Mafia. What we, the town, needs to do is prepare for the later parts of the game, when our influence on the game really matters. In order to get ready for when our own KP matters, we need information. People have talked about putting together information, by profiling the clues, making circles of people who are connected to each other, and just watching what people post. The other way I can think of getting information is through lynches; if one person being red incriminates another person, it is more useful for the town to lynch them, again with the idea of controlling the balance between the mafia families in the later game.

Other than having information, how can we increase our chance of winning? By killing the experienced Mafia. It makes sense to me that the veteran players are taking charge of their Mafia families. Therefore, while killing random Mafia members at this point may not ultimately benefit the town (you may disagree, but it would really just give an early advantage to one of the Mafia families), killing their leader will help the town.

So who, with what I’ve said so far, who is the best person to lynch? Ace. Ace. is organizing one of the Mafia families, and Redtooth is his accomplice.


The way I have linked them is through Redtooths post for candidacy.

enough of this. time to get the ball rolling. please prepare for content because...

I AM ANNOUNCING MY CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR
[image loading]

PLATFORM
I am running for mayor. Some of you may know that I never run for any position regardless of my role, the reasons being similar to the ones Ver listed. However, I am willing to invest enough energy and effort to lead the town to victory.

I have participated in enough mafia games and have developed an adequate understanding of the game. My play so far has demonstrated that I am capable of the high level thinking required for mayor of the town.

Also, I am a Decision Science major at Carnegie Mellon. I play mafia for a living.

THE OTHER CANDIDATES
All of the other veterans running thus far (Ace, BC, L) have too much suspicion surrounding them to be good mayor candidates. Some of the other candidates are either jokes (Chezinu, MasterDana, l10f), or unproven so far in the game (meeple, DrH, citizen).

Electing Ver after how the early portion of the elections played out earlier is very very dangerous. I stated earlier that we should not vote for Ver but refrained from explicitly laying out the reasons why. Now that he has outright declared his candidacy, I guess it's time to share my thought process. Quoting an earlier PM I sent to someone:
Show nested quote +
2/14 16:21

logically it would make sense not to give Ver the "option" to step in and win the election. each mafia family will likely send out one mayor candidate and that makes elections hard enough. that's why we scrutinize the list of mayor candidates so thoroughly. if we give Ver the "option" of becoming mayor, he isn't scrutinized as much and when pressed on the idea that mafia families would push a member to candidacy he could say that he was "forced" into the position. or if a member of the same mafia family would be runner up in the votes then he could just step aside and use that fact later as defence.

now were he to have outright declared candidacy in the first place i wouldn't have minded voting for him. actually i probably would have voted for him. but that thought process would have been much different. he seems like such an attractive candidate now because he's smart and wasn't involved in any of the mess.
Ver has, knowingly or unknowingly, taken advantage of the opportunity and halfheartedly declared his candidacy. This is the exact position we wanted to avoid. Before I was planning on running for Mayor, I requested that he withdraw his candidacy but I think just explaining the reasons in public should be enough to show that electing him as mayor is unwise.

PRE-EMPTIVE DEFENSE
Some may be suspicious of me due to my somewhat passionate defense of Ace. As stated before, I have a high degree of respect for Ace and did not want to kill him off due to what I perceived as clue analysis on red herrings. I also don't believe any of the veterans should be killed to "gain interesting insight into how Incognito's clues are going to work" (quoted from [NyC]HoBbes).

My late entry into mayoral race shouldn't be regarded with too much suspicion either. Nobody expected the mayor candidates to be caught up in so much shit. I wasn't voted for prior to my announcement so my argument against Ver's candidacy doesn't apply to me.

LYNCH CANDIDATE
If elected mayor, I plan on lynching Bill Murray. There are obvious reasons (noted by Chezinu in a previous post) why we should be suspicious of him but there is much more to gain from lynching BM. So far he has presented himself as either a bad mafia or an idiot townie. Of course there is a chance that he flips green when mayor lynched and we waste a lynch but we get rid of a player that has a history of being detrimental to the town and isn't too valuable an asset to the town if he is indeed green. However, in the case that he flips red, we are provided with a wealth of information via the list that he posted.

So far Bill has yet to post a legitimate defense, choosing instead to make a string of five or so posts that amounts to a desperate strike back at those that accused him. This makes him highly suspicious in my book. I am planning on checking over his behavior in the last game he played but

FUTURE PLANS
To kill the mafia of course. We have to use our lynches to maximum efficiency and somehow get the DTs to broadcast their information without revealing their identity. Later on in the game, clue analysis should be more abundant than ever before because all players (mafia and town-aligned) benefit from the analysis.

If Bill Murray flips red then the focus should immediately shift to the list he posted. The most notable oddity in the list was the absence of Ace despite the mountain of suspicion surrounding him. Please also remember that I was on the list. If anything, it would make sense that either both of us are on the list (a mafia defending a fellow mafia), neither of us are on the list (a townie defending a fellow townie), or Ace is on but I'm not (a mistaken townie risking his neck to defend a mafia). It doesn't make sense that I am on the list but Ace is not (a mafia defending a random townie). Please note that my attempt to lynch Bill Murray isn't out of anger towards him due to my name being on the list. So as of now I would place Ace in the same 'group' as Bill Murray. Though I fought hard to defend Ace thus far, he is far from exonerated and L's clue analysis is as solid as you can possibly get with only Day 1 clues. That means, depending on what color Bill flips, Ace becomes highly suspicious once more.

Having said all that I feel that we should keep all the veterans alive as long as possible. They are capable of identifying mafia and (whether its through clue analysis or behavior analysis) call out individuals to lynch. Why is this beneficial for the town? Well as I stated earlier, town can't win if mafia takes out town first but at the same time a mafia family can't win unless they kill off the other mafia family. To identify and call out a mafia member in public would mean either the town or the opposing mafia family can kill that person off. Also, anyone who's been mafia before would know that killing off a veteran mafia member doesn't really get rid of their influence (due to reasons I don't want to state publicly).

tl;dr
You shouldn't vote for other mayor candidates due to various reasons. Vote for me. I am reasonable, logical, and have basic plans with more in the making. Most importantly, I am innocent.

Thank you for your time.



The things that make me consider him Mafia are his pre emptive defence, lynch candidate, and his future plans.

First off, the preemtive defence. Quite simply, this is him justifying his support for Ace. First Redtooth supports Ace, claiming that the Day 1 clues are always useless. Later he wavers slightly in his support, contradicting himself and admitting that the clues may be useful, but now it looks like he has gone back to supporting Ace. This could be a little ambiguous, but I think that complete/blind trust is suspicious, and maybe Redtooth thinks that aswell. This is also significant, because Redtooths main defence against accusations against him, and people linking him to Ace is that Redtooth claims to mistrust Ace, while refusing to provide a reason.

As for lynching Bill Murray in order to determine Ace’s roll, this is just silly. I think most of us can see that Bill Murray was being dumb, but not mafia. By saying that Ace is red if BM is red, when BM is obviously green, Redtooth is creating an arbitrary defence for Ace, as well as wasting a lynch on killing a townie that will not give us any useful information. Redtooth also states that we should keep veterans alive; I can’t say this makes him mafia, it sounds reasonable, but I’ve stated my reasons already why keeping veterans alive is not a good strategy.

As for other supporting facts, Ace’s posts arguing with L have not actually refuted any of his points, only deflected them by agreeing with Redtooth that Day 1 clues are useless, when I think it is pretty clear that the clues COULD point to Ace.

Other people supporting Ace include Decafchicken, who hasn’t said anything, but just voted for Ace (assuming one of the Mafia families candidates are Redtooth and Ace, Ace is the one with more votes, thus the logical one to vote for), and Abenson hasn’t really added anything, only supported Ace IIRC. These peoples connections aren’t solid, and I’m sure there are other people with similar connections, but I haven’t bothered to find them yet.


I haven’t covered anything, but many things have already said if you have read through the thread, but I do want to quote this one post:

Ace and I, while often opponents, do not typically argue about this we consider irrelevant. If Ace says he thinks clues are worthless, he actually thinks clues are worthless. Many of our arguments come up after the game ends again because neither of us are convinced that our opposite made a good case.

In the current instance, I don't see what Ace's argument is other than "I SET A TRAP BECAUSE EVERYONE WHO AGREES WITH L MUST BE MAFIA". Seems pretty dumb; if you actually set that trap, you'd be going balls deep trying to kill Iaaan.


I agree with many things L has said, the most relevant one being that Ace’s arguments/”trap” are bad, and I support him for saying he may lynch Ace if elected. I was considering voting for citizen, but L is more active, and again I agree with a lot of what he has to say. I can think of a few more reasons that L is the best candidate, but this post is getting pretty long, and my focus is on Ace If anything is unclear/missing, I am happy to talk about that in a later post; I know I haven’t included everything.

My last thought, following the theme of getting information for later in the game from out lynch, if Ace is red, it could rule out the other people being accused for the blinding/brightness clues if he flips green, and if he flips red, it gives us a circle of potential Mafia. We win either way.

I await your counter arguments; I hope you consider this accusation worthy of a response.


Everything else is pretty much useless

Analysis
I'm not sure what to think of him. He doesn't seem to be pro-town at all times and is just reiterating everything that's already been said, but then he comes out with that. It's possible he's green, and it's possible he's red.




I'm tired. I'll continue this in a later post.


If you really want to know why my posting in this game is weird, go read the BC Mafia thread. Everyone accused me when I was trying to help and I got lynched when I was a townie. I actually want to keep playing the game this time. I'm doing my own research and adding things up. I'm not going to drop anything till I have good enough proof and hard evidence. Call it weird, but that's how it is. I rather sit back and analyze everything myself than get involved with other people that always would just rather lynch the person that actually tries to help.

if you look through the thread i wanted both mystlord and DrH dead. i know these aren't the best defenses but i'm still thinking through the events that have happened. if i'm mafia you guys are screwed anyways because i'm so gosu.

time for some important information. get your pens ready becaaaause:
SugiuraMidori was one of the bodyguards. I'm still trying to think through the reasoning for that but I assume it's to get into a town circle. On that note, the Gambinos are retarded and are trying to kill town. do that later idiots, go kill the other family before they kill you.

i do agree that we should get a double lynch going tomorrow. and unless there is some ridiculous coincidence involving inactivity and a vet or medic, Ver is logically cleared to be vet. you guys are safe with him as far i can tell. if you have any questions or possible scenarios where ver isn't blue then by all means PM me an we can think it through.

also, the scamp lynch is bullshit. he shuts up regardless of his color. treehugger is broadcasting 10000x more tells than scamp. if i have time i'll get you more analysis on his posts. but tonight we can hope mafia goes and kills scamp/johnnyspazz and doesn't pull another night 1. treehugger you are scum. go to sleep.



on a side note, i'll be on now but my activity won't be nearly as high as before. the weekend and first part of this week is going to be busy.


So, uh, how do you know that its the gambinos hitting the town?

Please be detailed and make it quick.
well they wanted to be in the town circle. they gave GF to SM, who's only known to post lists, and put him in BG position. i would assume the only reason why is to get a list of blues and knock them out.

and yes i was intentionally being provocative in my last post.

That's the wrong answer.

You just admitted to being mafia. Thanks.


I certainly agree.

As for me posting; I've been moving and such so I can only come online when go to my girlfriends house. I really haven't been able to be active that much, but I'm still reading and doing my own clue analysis. But, damn, DrH? I seriously thought he would of been a blue :\ At least I was hoping he was.

you really want me dead don't you. you've always advocated how people should own up to their mistakes instead of getting by with an "oops". so go ahead and work for my lynch (it would free up a lot of time i need for other stuff) and when i flip medic please hang yourself for Ace's and my death. okay? =D


Don't try to make a bluff. We can see right through you and your workings here.

From his profile.



You guys are idiots, that to obvious of a clue to even be me. Last game everyone pointed fingers at me because my picture hand a Team Liquid on my shirt and a wristband and I turned out a townie, this time, it will be the same. I've proven it multiple times to other people that I'm not a mafia. If you really want to know who mafia is I can let you know, but I'm waiting till the next day to post all of my analysis of people. I've learned from the last game to just sit back and watch. You can point all the fingers you want, but I can surely promise you I'm not mafia. I don't even understand why QuickStriker and Johnnyspazz are even alive still, when we already know that they're mafia.

Probably but we should lynch more people who help the town, it's a common theme


I did that to see if I could catch you in a lie to see if you're mafia. I am sitting back and watching the thread, but that doesn't mean I'm not doing anything behind the scenes trying tto campture mafia.

I think it's pretty clear right now that the town should not be voting to kill Scamp. He is right in that at best all L has is some shaky clue analysis. In fact, most of L's clue analysis is directed at other players (Chez, johnny, me) and not at Scamp, go read his posts if you don't believe me.

Something I've noticed is that Scamp has actually taken the time to legitimately defend himself. I remember when we were going to lynch Mystlord, he hardly said a thing and most of what he said only incriminated him more. Right now the only thing incriminating Scamp is L. Also when QS was going to be lynched he came up with the stupid modkill plan that had no way working. Scamp hasn't tried to pull anything of that caliber. It seems to me he's arguing as a townsperson.

To the town, L has already convinced you to lynch our Mayor/medic. What's going to happen when Scamp turns up innocent? We'll be in a bigger mindfuck than we are right now. tree.hugger is clearly the safer vote right now. It's no doubt that if Scamp does not get lynched, L will continue to incriminate him. If Scamp is indeed mafia, he's going to slip up somewhere.

You are totally convincing me to change my vote back to Scamp.. there are no clues against me...especially not from L. Scamp stretched the clue pointing to him to me which there was really no connection.


Cough. Please read the thread.

L nice clue research, but to bad it's easy to find that out. Not much of clue hunting to begin with, anybody can find that out, it's to simple of a clue and to obvious of a clue to even be me. Like every other mafia game, clues aren't so obvious.

Yeah, nearly none of these clues are obvious, sorry. Obvious would be linking you to shock like others tried to do. Instead I have you linked on two seperate accounts to graffitti and the house murder.


Which are still obvious, google banksy and people know immediately it's graffiti. Not only that, a lot of people know who banksy is. And the house murder, it's obvious that it would "supposebly" be me. I'm like the only person that has such an obvious house quote in their profile.

At the very least, not voting for tree.hugger and voting for scamp is absolutely ridiculous at this point. Have any of you even bothered looking at the votes? At this point, more than half the votes for tree.hugger are from people who are confirmed innocent by Chez. Likewise, nearly everyone voting for Scamp is under suspicion of being mafia. This right here surely says something about Scamp's affinity.
