If thats the case, we simply have the med/jailkeeper protect the cpr/janitor overnight. copycat should not be a problem. Im off to work, should be back later tonight. Don't meds and jailors only have 1 KP protect each? As in, if mafia stack their mafia shot and use say a vig shot it will kill the person unless they have multiple protective roles on them. Or the angry vig who will blast through anything. I guess witch could be a decent counter measure but I feel like it is a waste of its potential role power, which is getting a list of who is dying and being able to save one of them (higher chance of save because smaller pool of people to save from). | ||

RB differs from CPR and Janitor in that those two roles cannot be used as town whereas RB can be. Also, with your plan, we still cannot guarantee that the first person has CPR, which means that mafia can easily transfer it down to a scumbuddy without us knowing, which is extremely dangerous. I would rather have vanilla townies than risk having mafia have 2 KP. So say we guarantee that the roles are limited to the top 4 picks. I still don't see how it prevents mafia from blatantly using CPR - how will we be able to attribute night kills to specific roles? | ||

Now as for Paqman's responses, I've cut out key lines that I thought were pertinent (rather than quote whole thing and bold because it is a bulky post). On May 17 2012 12:44 PaqMan wrote: Am I honestly getting scolded for asking questions about plans that were discussed and settled on while I was absent? Am I really getting scolded for thinking ahead? -not scared, didn't have anything useful to contribute to plans that everyone already agreed on. -I dont care? I lost the first mafia game I've played in over 6 months. My 2nd game is ongoing. And I'm definitely not down to start my 3rd with getting mislynched D1 because a vet pushed me for asking questions. TL;DR I'm town and you're wrong. If those are your only points for thinking I'm scum you need to do better than that. This is a misrepresentation of Qatol's case. He makes out the accusation against him asking questions when in fact it is about the change in his posting style. And the defiant tone seems out of place - where does he find the confidence to basically taunt a vet into proving that he is scum? Unnatural. ##Vote: Paqman | ||

Let's figure out this D1 lynch - PaqMan: yay or nay? | ||

Marv claims to pick mason Sentinel claims to pick janitor, fail and get vt zelblade claims to pick ***, fail and get vt I'm guessing that zelblade probably picked risk's role. There is no sense in revealing what role risk has as it won't solve the problem. We know he didn't pick janitor because the thread is shot if this is just a ploy and I doubt he would think it good enough to keep going and letting town divebomb into nothingness. I'm going with Sentinel as traitor for this one - it buys the 1 man down scum team time to regroup / plan. If sentinel is town then risk would be a liar but that conflicts with the zelblade clash unless he picked mason (which I doubt but hey, marv picked mason so anything goes). Even if zelblade were to claim picking mason and the liar between risk and sentinel, risk's in-your-face I do what I want demeanor is more townlike than Sentinel's cautiousness (I'd be screaming my head off if I believed marv's mason claim which would mean risk picked janitor and lied about it) ##Vote [UoN]Sentinel | ||

Is it because the mafia are likely in the lower drafts so they have a harder time lying? | ||

I was gonna go after PaqMan after the Sentinel mess because it seemed like it was created as a distraction from the lynch, but it backfired for them and now there is only 1 scum and 1 Sk we have to deal with. The most surprising thing for me is the lack of janitor use - I would presume that most KP would be fired night 1 and a janitor use night 1 would be of most effect as most people dead = most information denied, but I suppose there could have been anticipation of a witch / angry vig which would make night 2 a better time to use it. I'll be back in a few hours to post more thoroughly. | ||

Sorry for the delayed post - (insert excuse). I've reread the thread and here are my thoughts and conclusions (they might be a bit jumbled, its kinda late and I'm sleepy). First are the scum team role picks combined with these posts by sentinel: On May 17 2012 11:10 [UoN]Sentinel wrote: Why would you kill one of your own just so the copycat can get the same role? Makes no sense. On May 17 2012 23:26 [UoN]Sentinel wrote: I did not get janitor  I would say that if scum have a copycat there are prolly more scums in the lower end of the draft. If they were high up they'd rather go for guaranteed power roles like decon did or try to deny town of powers. Either way I'd reckon the copycat is in the bottom ten of the draft. Scum team drafted CPR doc, JOAT and two more roles, PaqMan bouncing and getting vanilla. He could have bounced off So in the post that Sentinel makes (the one that starts a huge mess, averts attention from PaqMan but backfires and gets himself lynched), he is interested in bringing up the copycat role. However, during draft discussion, the only few people who bring up the copy cat are (sort of off the top of my head), Barundar and slOosh (me), with a few people discussing it, none of which are scum team members. Thus I think that Sentinel is pushing the idea that scum team could have a copy cat and starts hypothesizing about that, which leads me to my conclusion that the 4th member is not a copy cat, but rather a janitor (or vanilla if the SK picked janitor for some reason). The scum team plan would revolve around just that - picking up lots of KP, shooting many people and covering up valuable info. I would say that it is very possible that the copy cat role is not even in the game (evidenced by lack of additional KP, scum or SK would be auto using it every round). Second point: PaqMan voted risk after there were already 10 votes (majority requirement) on Sentinel, which leads me to believe that either scum team is very disorganized (which is possible) or that they did not plan on bussing him i.e. the final scum also voted for risk. Third point: .... Sorry guys its getting late and I gotta wrap this up, and I'll finish it tomorrow. But it concludes with me saying Palmar and Sandroba are very suspicious. Sandroba because his dealings with the sentinel fiasco are really weird (such bringing up why Palmar is pardoner and not bothering to comment on Sentinel until way later), his traitor idea, his no lynch stance, just really weird stuff. Palmar is from process of elimination and vote analysis (i.e. he voted risk and everyone else looks more townie to me than him). Guessing that Sandroba is the SK and Palmar is scum because of voting but the traitor role is possible for them I suppose. | ||

On May 21 2012 14:37 Qatol wrote: If the 4th member is a Janitor, how do they get around marvellosity's 50/50 chance of picking the role? Mmm, forgot to consider that point. I guess this kind of speculation is just that unless we do some mass roleclaim / get more role confirmations. So I'll put that aside, for I guess its only 1 of many possible scum team role picks (I still think they chose with some idea of team synergy and the 2KP roles indicate the gist of their theme. Janitor was the first thought to pop up and I forgot to incorporate hindsight.) Where does marvellosity's townie's claim that the politician role was taken in front of him (and the fact that nobody stepped up and claimed getting it, which is why we think it's in SK hands - mafia would have saved Sentinel with it) fit in? Hmm. It's weird because I think I hold a different train of thought from some people in how the SK would play - I'm under the impression that SK want mafia members alive and will initially play pro-mafia because it gives him scapegoats to draw suspicion away from him and also aids in speeding up the game. However since the politician has not been claimed by town and is therefore in anti-town hands, it would make sense that perhaps PaqMan voted risk (up to 8, hoping that the SK would swing the vote to tie 9-9 (your vote count is off Qatol, I was confused at how we lynched with 9. You left out talismania). I would agree that Barundar's comment on wanting to say less is indeed suspicious, because the first instinct I had when people started throwing out my name was to clear it. But then wouldn't scum want to do that? Or SK? So I'm confused. But that might be the intended effect of that play. We see that early on he does push the Mattchew could be scum idea, as well as the general theme of tying up roles / rolepicks, which does play into the SK motif. Actually I now also want to discuss how the SK is probably playing to get an idea of what to look for. I'm thinking making people waste rolepicks on the denial plan as well as role powers to obsess on stopping cpr or whatever fits the bill. No doubt SK will act in the interests of keeping the last mafia alive for the help in KP, but wouldn't he have started doing that with the day-vig shot? That's what I would do, let mafia and town kill each other, helping the weaker side. | ||
