Roleblocks?

Seriously, this is a meta game thing and has nothing to do with the game at hand

He hasn't contributed anything to the thread.

I see both sides of making lists. The discussion it generates is a definite plus for town, if it's focused the right way. YM, you referenced the Zodiac List from XLII...what you didn't take into account was that after he posted the Zodiac List, BC didn't guide the discussion after it...making it bad for town. He used the fact that no one uses the list properly to his advantage. Had he been town, he likely would have guided discussion properly, and it likely would have been more of a help for town.

There are a lot of likelies in that statement, and I'm well aware of it, tyvm. That's just my opinion.

Conversely, when abused, the Zodiac Lists DO tend to clutter up the thread.

Get a suspect and commit to it.

martyring is *terrible* scum play, as I learned in PYP:I, not sure if Draz knows that though, when I say "null tell" I mean that its behavior that both scum and town do, which means it plays no part on when I read someone, so no matter *who* did it (unless its an experienced player with no history of self reference), that means the null-tell isn't strong or weak, its simply not a factor in my analysis.

My read on sinani206 is strong, for a day 1 read, but its a day 1 call, and I'm notoriously bad at those. Right now of the candidates up to lynch I think he is the most likely to be mafia.

However I'm sure there are better candidates, I just don't want us to have a hectic last minute voteswitch and let the mafia control who gets lynched. For example I'd be happy to put hiro up for lynch, but with only about 5 hours left in the day, I'm sure it wouldn't be beneficial to us to start a serious wagon on him.

Whats bothersome is that he had to wait to be leading the wagon to be arsed to post an analysis, to me this reeks of either distancing himself or trying to divert a lynch

bbl I have stuff to do

I will NOT advocate a GM lynch. I know you guys think he's scum, and I can see all the reasons for it...but I just don't think he'd be going to all the trouble if he were scum. The circumstances behind him pulling SIMILAR moves in previous games were completely different. I honestly think that in spite of how silly his methods sound, he's got town's best interest at heart. Anyone who argues otherwise simply has a different opinion on what's the most important for town.

In the meantime, I'm going to stick my vote on Kenpachi. He's A) on the lurker list. B) NOT contributing (see A), and C) coming in randomly with classics such as:



I agree with what people are saying right now.

Interestingly enough, people are saying ALL KINDS of things. Which things do you agree with? Which things do you NOT agree with? What are your thoughts on 206/supersoft? Why so lurky bro? Come play with us!

Welp, after such a lackluster game, I'm glad I got the chance to hammer on the last mafia, the guy I had major suspicions of since my first read-through. I only have notes up to page 22 I think, but one of them is in capital letters "MIG MIG MIG - FLYING WAY UNDER THE RADAR". Unfortunately, I never had the thread presence or the motivation to push him as a legitimate lynch target, so I just seized the opportunity to lynch him when it came up lol. Looking back, I actually have 4 of the scum on my shortlist of suspects by page 22, and I only excluded VE because I knew he was the alternate lynch to drazerk whom I thought was scum. I missed Kenpachi because tbh I skip his posts but in retrospect I think I see a difference now between his town play and his scum play. Too bad for me that I had GMarshal at the top of my scumlist. I feel bad about that because it's always been very obvious to me what GMarshal's alignment is . Oh well.

This was also my first experience in subbing in to a game. I didn't like it at all, even though I subbed in during day 1... I felt uncomfortable and uncommitted the whole time.

As to the setup itself, I thought it was really cool. I dont think anyone commented on the fact that mafia in this game had 3kills/48 hours instead of 3kills/72 hours. Just something to note among the other balance factors. Anyways, gg, well played to many players.
