If he dies and it is decoded: we decided if we should trust it or not based on the decoder and his role (which we get WHEN he dies) If he dies and it isn't decoded: we forget about it. If he doesn't die: we don't care and forget about it. Sounds good? | ||

Being new to the game, I spent like, 5 fucking hours reading through all the damn posts and spam. One thing that struck me was the bandwagon that started on Veldril despite the clue for Masq seeming SO obvious. Therefore, I decided to see who voted for Veldril. Then, being lucky, I had already read through some night posts to see who had died before. Finally, as I was reading, I found jaminz’s post which was really helpful in my eyes. I used it in combination with the day1 votes (because day2 bandwagon was justified after Masq flipped red) to see who could’ve possibly tried to save their buddy Masq. Now, I’m in the process of doing some analyses to see who looks red and who looks green. Here they are. + Show Spoiler [Thegilaboy] + Wow just woke up for work and I see I have some reading to do! I've got a few pages in from where I left off last night and it seems a few suspects have begun to emerge. As with all past mafia games we can't rely so strongly on clues, especially on the first night, but in time they will be helpful indicators of who is scum. I actually like BM's approach the best with post analysis, as that is where you get a real inside look at the person and see their scummy tendencies. The voting list is somewhere to keep a close eye on as well. If some people switch their votes a lot it may indicate they are just trying to hop on the latest bandwagon for safety. The Masq clue seems pretty convincing right now, but I'm going to hold my vote a little longer after I get to finishing the last couple pages and letting the discussion go a little further. The first part is perfectly acceptable. I agree with it. Post analysis is indeed good. I also agree that people who switch votes a lot are probably bandwagon and so forth. First interesting note: Says Masq clue is pretty convincing, but holding off the vote. Either: He knows he will have time later so he can vote later (probable) Or: He knows Masq is his buddy vampire and thus is waiting for someone else to bandwagon onto to vote. Guess who he chooses? The green Veldril Not exactly. Zombies make up the bulk of the population, so they have the strongest voting power during the day. If you can get the Zombies rallied behind a cause, especially with the aid of some blues, town will get to vote whoever they want so long as they maintain their numbers. Also since there are so many townies, we have the greatest number of doing post analyses and clue analyses for our cause. Note the use of third person UNTIL the last line. Zombies make up… Zombies rally… town will get… Not we. Aside from that, pretty obvious post, but good for he new comers. I might be picking at straws. + Show Spoiler + Yeah I know what MH and D1 are lol, I've played some games of mafia before. I agree though, the clues on the first day especially can be misleading or simply too obvious. It's the posting actions of individuals that we should be most concerned about, coupled with voting tendencies and wild changes in who an individual votes for in a given day. We also have the difficult task of managing where our blue roles should be focused on tonight. With so many people there are a lot of options, and a lot of ways it could go wrong. This seems to me to be more important than first day lynch vote. Sure it's possible we'll hit scum, and we may even get wind of a trail that leads to a lot of it, but as in most games unfortunately a vanilla townie gets the rope. The blue roles need to get planning and so that they can establish their circle and hopefully find scum in a more convincing manner than clue analysis. I don't know if you're really this unaware of the rules or way the game works...Blues aren't going to out themselves so early in the game Good posts to help the beginners. + Show Spoiler + I'm trying to give the basics since he seems to be so unaware of how this game is played that I thought I'd lay down the foundation for him. I'm aware of how mafia games are played, I've played in plenty of them on and off this forum He has that many posts, but if you check his history this is his first mafia game, on TL at least. So yeah, even with 1900+ posts its possible someone has never played the game before Defending him? I'm just trying to explain to you why I was answering his questions since you questioned it. His argument with NB. Hmm, I’d think they don’t contact each other much because if this were a planned conversation, they wouldn’t be posting it so quickly as they would try to edit it a lot and make it “perfect.” It also started from Coagulation and Seraph, so I really doubt Gila has connections to mafia right now. You're a dick Man there is a lot of spam on this board, some people really need to tone down on the useless one-liners with no substance. Anyway, I tried catching up this morning, after wading through a lot of shit: Orglove is either a very enthusiastic townie, or he is a red trying to hold the reigns over a lot of newbies who will come to rely on his spreadsheet and and what I'll call "assessments." Spreadsheets are very useful, but you posting yours in every post is actually revealing information you should keep to yourself at times. But hey, you could be a very active townie and I might be off on my suspicions, I just think you might want to tone down on the spreadsheet since it has been found to be incorrect three times now I believe. I know we really want to get our first day's lynch in order since the hours are winding down, but that also means the hours are winding down on any coordination of our blue roles. I believe Pandain is attempting to coordinate MH placements, which can be a good thing for town even if he is red I suppose since he will be gunning for the other red team. Aztorisk may have jumped the gun on his role claim so early on, but that was partially due to the fact that the rules/descriptions weren't as clear as there are now. I know BM has been throwing around some ideas for Ghost placement in terms of the Masq/Veldril thing, anyone else have a thought on that? Anyway, back to rereading the last few pages again So, he’s thinking about voting between Masq and Veldril. Guess who he votes, DESPITE his earlier statement of “the masq clue being convincing?” He votes Veldril. Why? Probably because when he voted, it was 18-17. That’s right, he had a chance at saving his buddy Masq for Veldril. He joined the bandwagon of Veldril to try and save Masq. Note, he doesn’t even post any reasoning on WHY he voted Veldril in the first place instead of Masq. All pre-voting-Veldril Righteous. If there really was a connection between Masq and Veldril, we should expect to see mafia gunning for him tonight in hopes of snagging another vamp kill. Hopefully if any of the replacements for modkills are blues that they have enough time to catch up and get their role actions in check, we can't afford to lose those opportunities after getting such a lucky lynch at the beginning of the game. Anyway, I must be off for now, catch up on some z's, you all have a good one Reasonable post. That cat connection to Kpyolysis32 is about as obvious as Masq's pear connection, wow lol. Time to look through profiles and find something to do with a wretched smell Oh look, he says another person’s hint is as obvious as Masq’s. Well, this clearly means that he thinks Masq’s connection was OBVIOUS, and that kpyolysis32’s connection is obvious too! Why did he not vote for Masq then? This is true. As much as I'd like to think we've got another easy lynch like Masq because of an obvious clue, we can't read solely on clues and make quick accusations. Time for sleep, but I'll sleep more soundly knowing the streets run with red blood now He says Masq was an easy lynch, an obvious clue, and once again, he never voted for Masq on the first day. His day 1 vote goes COMPLETELY against what he’s saying. Talk one way->Vote another to try to save scummy friend, seems like a vampire(since he tried to save Masq and fought with NB) to me. I think for now I'm going to put my vote down for Veldril while I head out to work. His connection to Masq seems like a good one, and if he really is a vamp then killing him would take one KP from them and that seems huge in this game since there are so many potential KPs as is. We have some good connections for day 2, but I usually prefer voting based on activity and posting rather than clues alone since there is always the potential of red herrings. Okay, this is reasonable, but once again, he just changed his mind onto the bandwagon for Veldril. He, once again, left the obvious clue of kpylo for Veldril. A jungle cat could probably crush a skull...perhaps even a tiger? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/profile.php?user=YummyBlaBla Hmmm, throwing accusations around, interesting. *note, his analysis of Node was too long for me to quote onto a word doc, so I just read it, thought about it, and found it pretty safe. Nothing really damning in there.* After the analysis, gila’s posting has been pretty consistent. I mean, there wasn’t anything disagreeable about them. They didn’t seem particularly scummy, but they weren’t helpful either. It’s just clutter. That's a really solid find SiNiquity. It fits very well: lightning strike, a large man, silver, and a hammer. Seems pretty damning so far. I'm prone to not trusting Pandain since he did say he had DTs claimed to him and that jodo was checked as vamp. Since jodo's unfortunate modkilling revealed him to be another one of our GRs, that sort of takes the wind out of Pandain's sails. I'm not sure why a townie would just lie like that though, and it makes me believe that he was either tricked or simply lied to by someone he trusted As of right now I like Artanis as a possible lynch, but we do have plenty of time to go over clues and posts again to make sure. I recommend people continue with the analysis methodology used earlier where you analyze the posts and profiles of the person above you on the sign up list. It's a great way to find inconsistencies and clue connections that may have been missed. All in all right now I think Artanis is one of our most solid choices for lynching. ARG, he accuses again! Let’s look at the list of his accusations(well, people who he believes to be red): Masq Veldril Kpylo Yummy Artosis. Who has he voted for? Only veldril. Has he ever voted with his clues despite him saying they were obvious? No. Instead, he’s been slinging shit around, trying to cast suspicion everywhere. I say that’s scummy behavior. Mixed with the fact that, ON DAY ONE, he voted Veldril instead of Masq? Pretty damning. Also, note this intesting fact. Here are people who voted for Veldril first day and were active in post count by the time of jaminz’s post count: NB with 30 Youngman with 40 BM/Glurio with 56 Annul with 18 And Gila with 20. I’d say we all think BM/Glurio seems pretty scummy, Gila does too. There’s also been 2 other reds in the group. Coincidence? I think not. + Show Spoiler [annul] + also, i do not agree with jcarlsoniv. if you have something to say, say it. more information is not a bad thing, and telling people to stop talking is a good way to give cover for mafia. perhaps playing on the forums is fundamentally different from playing over IRC, but you can often find gems of information from the shortest of seemingly irrelevant sentences. I agree with this. In fact, I quite like this post. :D by 12:00 PM do you mean noon or do you mean midnight wednesday morning (12:01 AM, simplified)? Clearing shit up, good townie post. + Show Spoiler + i think the trick is to compare the differences between the first day 1 post and the second day 1 post. whatever is changed has to be the clue. i really do not know what is different about qatol's death though, it seems 100% unchanged. yes, precisely. so what i am saying is, if there are things that are the same in the two day 1 posts, they must not be where the clues were hidden. the exact same script minus like one sentence is used in some of these kills. that must be the clue. yes, precisely. so what i am saying is, if there are things that are the same in the two day 1 posts, they must not be where the clues were hidden. the exact same script minus like one sentence is used in some of these kills. that must be the the only death that is identical is qatal's -- every other death has been changed. so MAYBE the RNG gave the same role to the same person that was to kill qatal; it is possible. then he wouldn't have to change anything. but the person who has the role to kill meeple, for example, is new, so the clue now changes. previously, it was not someone for whom "the wind spoke" or whatever. All these seem fairly pro-town. It tells people how to analyze the clues. However, he never analyzes any himself... a bit fishy. of all the info we have right now, masq's profile is probably the strongest indictment yet. i wonder if it is smarter for us to kill masq with our town vote or to let the mafia/vampires (whichever side masq isnt) take him out with one of their night kills. saves 1 kill from the town and it is not like the mafia/vampires won't kill him, since they need him dead to win too. Now this post seems a bit scummy since he's trying to save masq despite the obvious clue. Besides, it's much better for town to lynch a for sure red than for us to take a chance and lynch a blue/green. I disagree with the idea he poses here, and it might just be him trying to save his buddy. After all, he did vote for Veldril in the end, and this seems to be just trying to give himself an out. Note: Annul also voted with the bandwagon for Veldril. A slew of people voted for Veldril in quick succession. Annul was one of them I have voted Veldril. I think that if it is clearly obvious Masq is mafia or vampire (which it is, tbh), then the other team will have to waste 1 night kill on him, and that leaves more living townies. They may not pull the trigger on Veldril, though, and so we should [strike]nat-to-nat siege tank his gas[/strike] wtfpwn him as such. Well, at least he gives a reason. Unfortunately, the reason is pretty bad because killing Veldril would've given the town NO information compared to killing Masq. Veldril turning up green would've stopped us dead in our tracks, and vamps know that. pretty sure the brute bypasses the ghost and kills everybody in the room (including ghost and brute) anyway so if the brute comes for you at night you are going to die no matter what, unless you are the frankenstein though, i wonder if the boogeyman/invisible man also die to the brute? their role implies that they remain unseen/stealthed, and i doubt a bloodlusting vampire would detect a random guy in the closet etc More clarification. I like this post. :D He's giving us valuable info here. fyi, in that spreadsheet, you say i "defended lankill" no i didnt. i said that lankill could not have possibly supported anybody when he hasn't even made one post in this entire game. This makes me suspicious of orgo instead of annul. annul isn't particularly defensive either. =/ in fact, YOU made up the fact that lankill was for masq, which was a blatant lie. so i wonder if i am wrong in voting vendril, to be quite honest it is you i have caught in (now two) lies. Now this is interesting. This is a bit defensive, and you'd think he'd change his vote. But he doesn't. Hmmm, idk how to really think about this one, but I do believe if I had better deduction skills, this would be a very clarifying post. if more would join, i would be fine switching to orgo. i get bad feelings from that guy. i DO think vendril and masq are reds though (by way of night 0 clues), but i imagine that the mafia/vamps will use night kills on them anyway. let's get rid of orgo now. Uhhh, trying to start a bandwagon, going away from our high kill chance (which he agrees with), trying to shift blame onto another person, get another suspect? Not cool. Scummy as hell post. masq is scum veldril is scum the entire debate is whether it is smarter to vote veldril or masq tonight. who is more dangerous to keep alive. most who view it like this will say veldril. COMPLETELY off. It's more like both are unknown, but Masq has higher chance because the clue seems more conclusive. Also, if town had killed off Veldril, their lead would've ended right there. All the better for vamps. Scummy post. you STILL haven't changed that spreadsheet. wow. once again, i never "defended lankill" beyond saying to you that YOU fucked up in calling him out on things when he still hasn't made a single post in the game. if orgo is this loose with his spreadsheet after being called out on his inconsistencies like 12 hours ago (including this specific one), then i do not know how useful it is at all for anyone. Justified but defensive reaction in my eyes. wow. don't forget that if the vampires used the poisoner, it wouldn't show up today either. so it could have been a ghost or it could have been a frankenstein or it could have been a poison kill. not necessarily true it was 2 ghosts He's keeping his head about him, at least that's good. here is the thing i do not like all these people saying "we have problems if he is a vamp" or somehow implying its bad for him to go if he is a vamp the mafia already lost 1 person. this means that, in order for mafia to win AND town to not win, somehow, over the course of the entire game, mafia has to suffer no more than four further kills. the only possible way for mafia to win is if 11 vampires are dead. as soon as five mafia go away, then neither side can win (once vamps go down 5 too) without the town also winning, provided the town's numbers stay up. and remember if there are 61 players and 16 red die, then you have 6 living reds and the town would need 7 living greens/blues. 13 total players. we are nowhere near the point where we have 7 town players left. Okay, this post just makes me think he's probably not vamp. Hmm, vamps would be the ones arguing killing them off would be bad because mafia gains upper hand. i figured it out he says conf[i]rmed killers are: pandain i figure he fucked up in the code with "conformed" instead of confirmed, but this is what it says i wonder how he "conformed" pandain to be a killer as a JOL, or what "killer" even means - scum? grim reaper? i hear cryptograms are hard to decode, confirm/deny God damnit, this is wtf. he NEVER posted a code with this, and seems to just be bullshitting. It also doesn't seem to fit with the "decoder" people found later. Trying to confuse town? Trying to kill a harmless green? (pandain) player above me: glasse analysis: LOL FRENCH CANADIAN No analysis... wtf. i am voting lucktar for the very obvious, almost masq-like clue-to-profile similarity. i am not defending jodo, mind you, just that i think that obvious clues > suspicion at this point. Wtf? This goes against what he said earlier about analyzing posts! This also goes against his vote as he NEVER voted for Masq, despite him saying that it's very obvious now. Why? Also, why would he vote for someone of Masq's clue-like-similarity when he never voted for Masq in the first place? I don't get it. Other things that make him seem scummy: He and Brownbear have a little tussle that ends up as nothing. Helps sever their possible connection. Although, brownbear did give him a <3. Awww, cute. xD Overall: I think annul is very suspicious because of his current posts undermining the ideas behind his earlier posts. He was also one of the ones who bandwagonned onto Veldril instead of onto Masq. However, he could simply be a townie that forgot what he said earlier, or a townie that makes mistakes. it's perfectly plausible given his newbiness. I'd recommend keeping an eye on him, but nothing is damning yet. + Show Spoiler [MetalFace] + Now, onto Metalface. He's an interesting guy who only posted ONCE before voting Veldril. Why? Also, he didn't even GIVE an analysis for this. Hmmm, bandwagoning as Vampire? He's also been quite inactive... Hmm. Maybe this is a dumb question, but when/where/how do we vote who to lynch? Nothing conclusive. Just that he's a newbie. Heyo. Just to clear this up for you, I am in fact not a smurf. After starting to play SC2 a friend of mine suggested I check out TL because, as I'm sure you all know, this is the place to be for SC2 strats. I made an account so I could sign up for the NA TL Open, but unfortunately, couldn't make it. As for my low post count, I was never really one for posting a ton because A) I'm not all that good at SC2, and B) I'm firmly believe bad people posting just makes for bad forums. Realistically, why would I make a smurf account using a SC2 name that is legit? And so I had been happy in my lurking until I saw the Haunted Mafia signup on the left hand bar. I had played a simplified version of Mafia IRL but nothing like this before. Honestly, I have no way of proving this to you, but quite frankly, whether or not you believe me doesn't really matter. As for voting, it's the first night and as much as you guys want to get really deep into the clues, someone has to die. Once we lynch someone, we'll be a lot closer to finding out who is mafia/vampire. There's like 5-6 people right now that we could lynch and and one of them would give us a ton of information as to who's who, but for right now we're just working off of a handful of clue and a mountain of speculation. Hmmm, interesting. Very defensive post IMO because there's nothing wrong with a smurf. Although, being a new guy, he probably wouldn't know that. However, there are some interesting things to keep in mind here. He seems to be marginalizing the clue analysis. He seems to not care WHO we lynch. On the other hand, he is right that town was on a mountain of speculation. His response is pretty logical and townie seeming. Ok, so about the vendril thing. For the sake of theorizing lets say that... A) He is scum. If he is, all scum will know that he is at least not the same scum as them (ie: mafia know he's not mafia, etc.) I) The win condition for scum is to eliminate all of the opposite scum. It has nothing to do with townies. Therefore, a) It is possible the scum will try to kill Vendril tonight. Now, there are a few cases where the scum will NOT try to kill Vendril tonight... 1) The scum do not want to risk exposing or harming themselves in such an obvious kill and are willing to wait until later. 2) The scum are under the impression that the town will lynch Vendril Day 2. B) He is NOT scum. If he is not scum, all scum will know that Vendril is a townie. I) Quite frankly, if Vendril is townie, there aren't a ton of reasons to kill him off, as he hasn't been all that threatening thus far, just sort of posting a bit foolishly. II) There are some people who seem to want to off Vendril regardless. a) If he is not scum, all of the fingers that have been pointing at him can be pretty easily turned around. 1) This is another reason the scum may want to off Vendril tonight. Now both (A) and (B) assume that we know 100% what Vendril's allegiance is (scum/town). As convinced as some people are, I don't think anyone can say for sure that Vendril is one way or the other, but that is the game. The logical solution is to wait out the night and see who dies. If Vendril dies overnight, then none of this post really matters anyways, although we will know which side of scum he was and we'll have a clue pointing at the opposite. If he doesn't die tonight, then we weigh our options given the provided clues and anything else we learn overnight. None of this is meant to incriminate Vendril or vindicate him. Notice I haven't quoted anyone or linked any evidence. This is merely a flow of thoughts meant to help demonstrate the reasoning behind Vendril's death/survivial. It should be taken cautiously, and in the end, if you are convinced one way or the other, this post won't really help you anyways. This was just meant as a means of viewing the different meanings behind different happenings. Hmm, I like his latest post. It's pretty well thought out, and as he says, it's simply his thoughts. It's good information, and despite being new, he's acting pretty much pro-town. He defends that he's not smurfing a lot, but that's probably because he's new as well. After analyzing him, I find him seeming more green than red. I don't trust him because of how little he posts, but there's nothing that makes him seem either threatening or suspicious. | ||

That explains your *erroneous* vote for veldril, but what I was aiming at here was why did you choose to vote for lucktar? You didn't vote for Masq despite his clue, so why should lucktar's clue persuade you enough to vote for him? And now, I see that you have changed your vote to Artanis[xp]. Why? | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Thegilaboy] + Wow just woke up for work and I see I have some reading to do! I've got a few pages in from where I left off last night and it seems a few suspects have begun to emerge.

Anyway, I tried catching up this morning, after wading through a lot of shit: Orglove is either a very enthusiastic townie, or he is a red trying to hold the reigns over a lot of newbies who will come to rely on his spreadsheet and and what I'll call "assessments." Spreadsheets are very useful, but you posting yours in every post is actually revealing information you should keep to yourself at times. But hey, you could be a very active townie and I might be off on my suspicions, I just think you might want to tone down on the spreadsheet since it has been found to be incorrect three times now I believe. I know we really want to get our first day's lynch in order since the hours are winding down, but that also means the hours are winding down on any coordination of our blue roles. I believe Pandain is attempting to coordinate MH placements, which can be a good thing for town even if he is red I suppose since he will be gunning for the other red team. Aztorisk may have jumped the gun on his role claim so early on, but that was partially due to the fact that the rules/descriptions weren't as clear as there are now. I know BM has been throwing around some ideas for Ghost placement in terms of the Masq/Veldril thing, anyone else have a thought on that? Anyway, back to rereading the last few pages again So, he’s thinking about voting between Masq and Veldril. Guess who he votes, DESPITE his earlier statement of “the masq clue being convincing?” He votes Veldril. Why? Probably because when he voted, it was 18-17. That’s right, he had a chance at saving his buddy Masq for Veldril. He joined the bandwagon of Veldril to try and save Masq. Note, he doesn’t even post any reasoning on WHY he voted Veldril in the first place instead of Masq. All pre-voting-Veldril Righteous. If there really was a connection between Masq and Veldril, we should expect to see mafia gunning for him tonight in hopes of snagging another vamp kill. Hopefully if any of the replacements for modkills are blues that they have enough time to catch up and get their role actions in check, we can't afford to lose those opportunities after getting such a lucky lynch at the beginning of the game. Anyway, I must be off for now, catch up on some z's, you all have a good one Reasonable post. That cat connection to Kpyolysis32 is about as obvious as Masq's pear connection, wow lol. Time to look through profiles and find something to do with a wretched smell Oh look, he says another person’s hint is as obvious as Masq’s. Well, this clearly means that he thinks Masq’s connection was OBVIOUS, and that kpyolysis32’s connection is obvious too! Why did he not vote for Masq then? This is true. As much as I'd like to think we've got another easy lynch like Masq because of an obvious clue, we can't read solely on clues and make quick accusations. Time for sleep, but I'll sleep more soundly knowing the streets run with red blood now He says Masq was an easy lynch, an obvious clue, and once again, he never voted for Masq on the first day. His day 1 vote goes COMPLETELY against what he’s saying. Talk one way->Vote another to try to save scummy friend, seems like a vampire(since he tried to save Masq and fought with NB) to me. I think for now I'm going to put my vote down for Veldril while I head out to work. His connection to Masq seems like a good one, and if he really is a vamp then killing him would take one KP from them and that seems huge in this game since there are so many potential KPs as is. We have some good connections for day 2, but I usually prefer voting based on activity and posting rather than clues alone since there is always the potential of red herrings. Okay, this is reasonable, but once again, he just changed his mind onto the bandwagon for Veldril. He, once again, left the obvious clue of kpylo for Veldril. A jungle cat could probably crush a skull...perhaps even a tiger? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/profile.php?user=YummyBlaBla Hmmm, throwing accusations around, interesting. *note, his analysis of Node was too long for me to quote onto a word doc, so I just read it, thought about it, and found it pretty safe. Nothing really damning in there.* After the analysis, gila’s posting has been pretty consistent. I mean, there wasn’t anything disagreeable about them. They didn’t seem particularly scummy, but they weren’t helpful either. It’s just clutter. That's a really solid find SiNiquity. It fits very well: lightning strike, a large man, silver, and a hammer. Seems pretty damning so far. I'm prone to not trusting Pandain since he did say he had DTs claimed to him and that jodo was checked as vamp. Since jodo's unfortunate modkilling revealed him to be another one of our GRs, that sort of takes the wind out of Pandain's sails. I'm not sure why a townie would just lie like that though, and it makes me believe that he was either tricked or simply lied to by someone he trusted As of right now I like Artanis as a possible lynch, but we do have plenty of time to go over clues and posts again to make sure. I recommend people continue with the analysis methodology used earlier where you analyze the posts and profiles of the person above you on the sign up list. It's a great way to find inconsistencies and clue connections that may have been missed. All in all right now I think Artanis is one of our most solid choices for lynching. ARG, he accuses again! Let’s look at the list of his accusations(well, people who he believes to be red): Masq Veldril Kpylo Yummy Artosis. Who has he voted for? Only veldril. Has he ever voted with his clues despite him saying they were obvious? No. Instead, he’s been slinging shit around, trying to cast suspicion everywhere. I say that’s scummy behavior. Mixed with the fact that, ON DAY ONE, he voted Veldril instead of Masq? Pretty damning. Also, note this intesting fact. Here are people who voted for Veldril first day and were active in post count by the time of jaminz’s post count: NB with 30 Youngman with 40 BM/Glurio with 56 Annul with 18 And Gila with 20. I’d say we all think BM/Glurio seems pretty scummy, Gila does too. There’s also been 2 other reds in the group. Coincidence? I think not. | ||

As far as lynching, I say we look at both clues and analyses and see what matches up. We should continue down both lanes, hopefully independently so less bias is involved, and maybe town can make a comeback. | ||

And ugh, kenpachi's voting makes me upset. The guy lurks, never posts, then just bandwagons onto crap. I don't know if he's new, a bad townie, or just a lurking scum, but I reallllllllllllllllllllllly want to vote for him. | ||

It seems that the most obvious reds are most likely vampires. I think it would be more beneficial to lynch a mafia today, but I don't really see any obvious mafia right now. For now, I'll vote MetalFace as the clue pointing to him killed a vampire so most likely he is mafia. I might change my vote later after I have done my own analysis if I have time, or after you guys are done with your analysis. Nahhh, it's really not that much more beneficial to lynch a mafia. Think about it this way guys: If we kill vamps, we can get their numbers down to 3. This means that they LOSE their chance at victory because to kill all the mafia, they'd have to bring mafia down to 3 first. That effectively neutralizes the Vampire into basically just a 3 person kill squad for the town. We can then bring them into our side and gain a kp. | ||
