Apologies to everyone for my lack of participation. As is easily verified, I've been sitting on 3999 posts for several days, and trying to write two major essays and my 4000th post at the same time, so it's been a little awkward.

That said, this really hasn't been a particularly eventful day so far, so I've caught up easily. Firstly:

Please don't put your entire posts in green. Makes it impossible to read. Your post was noticable enough because of it's length, and green text has a purpose, so don't abuse that.

Anyway, we should probably lynch a TR member this first round and, we've got an obvious mafia to lynch in Kenpachi, so we should probably go take it.

D) It doesnt. shh
E) ?? its enlightenment
F) I dont agree with you voting for Infundibulum.

A) Well you just wrote 7 one liners and have yet to post something relevant.
B) But you are NOT. It is not about how you look. Come on that is not an argument, so you post one liners to look active? what is that? Sparta?
C) Well you actually read the rules because you posted the pokemon/classicmafia relation. I wonder why you just couldnt look for the mafia KP, and insisted to look clueless asking for it.
D) It doesnt? well you were pretty much inactive and so was Infundibulum. Maybe it does.
E) You think too much. You have again 2 posts where you "think" about this "think" about that, when it is clear that those post refer to info available in the opening rules. This heavily smells like "im not too sure, i dont know" plot.
F) So you agree that you are protecting infundibulum by voting me: More reason to flip him!.

A) There isnt much to post in the beginning, due to low information and lack of suspicion.
B) I am not what? I posted in the beginning to "look" active because i have a history of lurking.
C) You are still assuming i read the rules. Did i read or skim it? Did i read it but pass the KP? I posted that in the thread for people who also didnt know to possibly take a burden off many people.
D)Idk man. you found a bunch of posts in the beginning and call me inactive? Refer to B). Why am i posting to "look" active?
E) "I think its 2." hey i only played 1 game with Double Lynch before.
F) your logic is flawed. i can vote for anyone i want to and im defending Infundibulum by not voting for him. Why do you think youre gonna be the main bandwagon from 1 vote?

So, i didnt vote Gabe to start a bandwagon on him.. was mainly a placeholder but after his responses, i decided i wont be switching my vote.


If I had a nickle for every useful thing Kenpachi said for the town, I'd be broke. This is pretty basic mafia stuff here, no substantive accusations, and some aimless FoSing on Gabriel, which has turned into a mini-wagon. Specifically note Kenpachi actually disowning the bandwagon that he created in the last post, because he doesn't want to commit to anything. From the beginning, Kenpachi has been particularly useless, not commenting on or committing to plans, even as they're being discussed under his nose. His strategy is pretty clearly non-committal, and every single post of his just highlights the fact that he's not saying something useful. I know this basic formula well, because I used it in the game that Ver analyzed. I was killed by BM being bad, but lets kill Kenpachi day one, so we don't have to put up with this anymore.

I am going to have to agree with Gabe's points on zeks. So far his votes have been very wishy washy and he seems to change them very randomly. He bandwagons on Infundibulum at the start of the game without really giving much evidence and then later he switches to some random inactive player for which he doesn't give a reason other than "inactiveness"

Glad to know that you can summarize points made by someone else. Do you have anything to add? Why, for example do you find his analysis compelling while you haven't mentioned the competing analysis of everyone else?

This doesn't pass for activity. More hard thinking needed.

I think its 2.



what would posting history 4 hours into the game show you?

A) You dont want to be active posting
B) You want to "look" active
C) You read the rules but you actually dont know mafia KP? That was rare.
D) You dont want to lynch inactives because that doesnt work.
E) You want enlightment.
F) You vote for me out of literally nowhere. I mean: i post to flip Infundibulum and you come right after me. Care to explain at least?

A) 4 hours does not judge that. what if i went on TL tomorrow for the first time in the past 3 days?
B) Anyone who posts would want to look active.. Why would they post if they want to look inactive?
C) Why are you assuming i read the rules? how do you know i didnt just assume the KP?
D) It doesnt. shh
E) ?? its enlightenment
F) I dont agree with you voting for Infundibulum.

A) Well you just wrote 7 one liners and have yet to post something relevant.
B) But you are NOT. It is not about how you look. Come on that is not an argument, so you post one liners to look active? what is that? Sparta?
C) Well you actually read the rules because you posted the pokemon/classicmafia relation. I wonder why you just couldnt look for the mafia KP, and insisted to look clueless asking for it.
D) It doesnt? well you were pretty much inactive and so was Infundibulum. Maybe it does.
E) You think too much. You have again 2 posts where you "think" about this "think" about that, when it is clear that those post refer to info available in the opening rules. This heavily smells like "im not too sure, i dont know" plot.
F) So you agree that you are protecting infundibulum by voting me: More reason to flip him!.

A) There isnt much to post in the beginning, due to low information and lack of suspicion.
B) I am not what? I posted in the beginning to "look" active because i have a history of lurking.
C) You are still assuming i read the rules. Did i read or skim it? Did i read it but pass the KP? I posted that in the thread for people who also didnt know to possibly take a burden off many people.
D)Idk man. you found a bunch of posts in the beginning and call me inactive? Refer to B). Why am i posting to "look" active?
E) "I think its 2." hey i only played 1 game with Double Lynch before.
F) your logic is flawed. i can vote for anyone i want to and im defending Infundibulum by not voting for him. Why do you think youre gonna be the main bandwagon from 1 vote?

So, i didnt vote Gabe to start a bandwagon on him.. was mainly a placeholder but after his responses, i decided i wont be switching my vote.


If I had a nickle for every useful thing Kenpachi said for the town, I'd be broke. This is pretty basic mafia stuff here, no substantive accusations, and some aimless FoSing on Gabriel, which has turned into a mini-wagon. Specifically note Kenpachi actually disowning the bandwagon that he created in the last post, because he doesn't want to commit to anything. From the beginning, Kenpachi has been particularly useless, not commenting on or committing to plans, even as they're being discussed under his nose. His strategy is pretty clearly non-committal, and every single post of his just highlights the fact that he's not saying something useful. I know this basic formula well, because I used it in the game that Ver analyzed. I was killed by BM being bad, but lets kill Kenpachi day one, so we don't have to put up with this anymore.


My problem so far with lynching Kenpachi is that i really think he is not Green but he may as well be Blue. As someone already stated i was actually triyng to get some reaction from him (so it is not really like im doing mafias work) and to direct somw attention for a RC. Im not ready to lynch Kenpachi (and i never advokated to lynch him). Honeslty zeks is far away a better target for now.

Blues and Reds do not post the same way. Kenpachi is TR because he ignored early game invitations to comment on plans. He's cautious and non-committal, because he doesn't have a stake in what the town is doing. Reds and some greens post similarly, and blues and some greens post similarly. My hunch is that he's not going to be able to commit fully to anything, no matter how much we prod.

I'll hopefully be back in a bit before the vote ends, but I feel safe in putting my vote on Kenpachi. Every vote on him is a vote to clean up the town.

youre dumb. what if i happened to be DT or Medic?

no i am not


Word. I suppose we'll get treated to angry defending eventually, as he's in the lead right now, but hey, that might be too committed.

So who do you think is scum then, if not those two?

My aim in this game is to prevent people from getting away with "I don't think these people are mafia" without offering alternatives. You simply cannot be helpful if you don't pitch in with your own accusations.

I don't have a strong feeling for anyone but anyone who's posted once or twice this whole game just to agree/disagree is a good bet

So your list would look something like:
DCLXVI, deconduo, chaoser, KtheZ, and Oceanic?

These are the posters who contributed relatively little on the last two pages.

Mmmmm... disappointing. But not any worse than we normally have done, and no blue damage taken. I see what damage I can do tonight by re-reading this first day. Not enough participation, or committals.

To your list. Zeks obviously never switched his vote from StormTemplar to save himself, but he is at the top of your list for reasons already outlined. But the rest of your suspicions come from the Kenpachi vote list, and I'm wondering why deconduo, jcarlsoniv,Kavdragon, ShoCkeyy, seRapH, and Amber[LighT] were left out. Or perhaps you need to explain your methodology for including the names you did.

Once again, if you have suspicions, you must articulate them. Names aren't helpful, reasoning is.

My problem is that I thought it was pretty obvious that Kenpachi was town BEFORE he flipped. Like I said, he posts like crap or "scummy" but "scummy" posting =/= scum. More often, it's townies who have contradictory posts and poor logic and all those other things (to an extent). It's better to look for people who say stuff like "This thread needs more analysis" and then they don't offer any of their own, or people who drop in and say "this person looks kinda scummy, this person looks kinda scummy" and then they disappear after that.

For example, I voted for zeks day 1 because his posts are. for the most part, neutral/non-committal. The "kinda sorta maybe" posting is the kind that I'd consider scummy. Also people who say one thing in the thread, but then "change their minds" at the end of the day and vote for someone without a solid reason.


The whole reason why I voted for Kenpachi was because he was acting in exactly that manner. I certainly agree that Zeks is suspicious, but I didn't change my vote because there was no reason to prioritize one over the other. However, if yesterday he had said this...

My point is that, we're not here to lynch people we don't like. We're here to lynch mafia.

@tree.hugger, that's not a good reason to lynch someone. Did you really think he was mafia? or did you just want to "rid the town of a bad poster." Cuz the latter is not a good strategy. In fact, it's something that mafia would do because they know they can get away with it (see TMMM2 or something when we lynched BM/Chezinu combo)

@Eiii, I realize that you changed your mind because of his soft-claim blue. I already explained what my problem with that is. You know he's a bad townie. You know he'll say dumb stuff. Yet you lynch him anyway, when zeks was a more likely scum. Why? Because you don't agree with his playstyle? If we go through the game lynching people whose playstyles we disagree with, we're never going to win.
I'm saying the same reasons that you listed for Zeks being suspicious also applied to Kenpachi. You keep saying that Kenpachi was obviously town, but that's not the case, a majority of the town suspected him over Zeks, probably because both he and Zeks were playing very similarly, but Zeks's wagon gained steam after Kenpachi's did, making it the more plausible distraction wagon. Of course, it turned out not to be the case, but Kenpachi's lynch wasn't out of thin air.

But look, we're fortunate that no real damage was done, and it's time to move on from yesterday's battles to see how the night turns out. After which, Zeks is a prime candidate, especially after his freudian slip there.
