Ninjabunnies is mafia, I'm going to vote him. Then I'm going to read another page of the game.

##Vote Ninjabunnies

Do you not think this is a valid case? At least you have to explain to me why you disagree. I think it's a pretty strong case. I should add that I combine it with the "ugh" from his first post, oh and his plea that "can we now hunt some scum?".

Seems pretty ironclad to me.

No I don't think that's a valid case, I think you're trolling.


I'm not, why do you think I'm trolling.

Granted, I'm only about 2 pages or so into the game as we speak, + skimming Ninja's filter. But I feel pretty good about this. Could you elaborate on why you think I'm trolling? Or at least if there is something you don't understand in my case, ask for an explanation?

To put in clear terms what the problem I, and clearly others, have is:

The point isn't that you screwed it up. The point is that you brought up an argument that you already know is invalid. I don't see any motivation for someone who is town to do that.

On May 27 2014 11:20 jabberwockzerg wrote:
Counter point: he could have been super into last game because he was mafia, and isn't as into being vanilla town.


Unless you can explain why as town it makes sense for you to throw something you know will not help solve the issue at hand into the mix, we're going to have to lynch you.

I'm fine with not doing anything else today. This is better than most day 1 lynch opportunities we get.

@jabberwockzerg: if you're somehow town, now is your time to step up.

Keenly, I was trying to think of everything, leaving no stone upturned. I guess I got trapped under one of these stones

Why would you look into things you know to be wrong.

That'd be like me scumhunting myself. It makes absolutely no sense.

If he's lurking (he probably is) he'll be quick to post something, which we can further use as more information comes to light

This is jabber's passive-agressive response. "he probably is" heavily implies that jabber has a strong scumread on me, which clearly doesn't make sense given that I've made one completely non-alignment indicative post. From a scum perspective, it makes sense for jabber to try to go with the flow of the thread and throw suspicion on me, but accidentally take it too far.

Definitely leaving towards scum though

Again, here he makes it seem as if he strongly thinks I'm scum, which just doesn't make sense unless he has a preset idea of what he wants to push my alignment as.

Lovely.
I was trying to get the game moving along, I was pretty pumped to start interrogating and scum reading, which isn't how I acted last game, when I was scum.
Lying about who was scum last game, I was trying to conceal information. I didn't realize that last game's roles were known, it would be beneficial for me if no one knew I was Mafia, just because there would be no real patterns of my play, and I could remain a wild card, which I thought could help me later.



Help you as town or as generating the lower tabby?

And if as town, how would the concealing of this information be helpful to you?


I like this guy now.

No longer mafia.

We're lynching this guy if this jabber lynch is wrong for not reading the case and defending him anyway.

Jwz is my top scum read so far.

I was considering pushing a palmar lynch because he's my second scum read, and huge bandwagons always seem to be wrong.


While this is certainly a possibility, it doesn't have to be true. If he is mafia he has two allies in town, and it may well be that the team immediately saw what he did as a scumslip with additional knowledge of it being one, and thus immediately distance themselves from the lynch.

A bandwagon that forms with unclear or weak reasons and grows quickly is suspicious. It's very clear why this bandwagon is forming. There is plenty of evidence for any townie to just sheep this wagon.

So I would ask you not to use associative evidence to discredit the wagon.

MZ not everyone in the game is mafia. fuba and haru look bad, jwz is your most likely scumread and you could get behind a lynch on me, and now you're telling sqrtofneg1 that he might be mafia, while in the same breath explaining to him how he can get you to drop your "suspicion".

Welcome to my scum tier.

If someone isn't following why that last MZ post raises alarms (aside from the fact he's calling everyone mafia), I'll explain.

You've thrown around a lot of suspicions this game. Instead of making a vague statement like this, interpret what it means. If you leave it vague like this, it makes it seem like you're just trying to throw dirt on him without actually having to take a stand. Instead tell us why this is a problem, maybe provide some examples if you're gonna cite his meta.


The bolded quote is very much not trying to figure out i's alignment. If MZ thinks there is any chance i is mafia, why is he trying to stop i from digging his own grave under the threat of "if you keep doing this I'll be suspicious of you!!!!". This looks like MZ wants to read i as town, while still looking like he's poking people.

No you just implied that what he was doing looked like something mafia might do.

If you're town, I would have expected this

"If you leave it vague like this, you're never going to convince anyone of following your example or agreeing with your read."

Because that sentence isn't loaded with agenda, like yours was

"If you leave it vague like this, it makes it seem like you're just trying to throw dirt on him without actually having to take a stand."

I may be reading too much into this, but it's bad form. If you want to affect his playstyle, don't do it in the same breath as you threaten him with a scumread..

Palmar could you please explain your MZ read more?


Which part of it do you not get?

"If you leave it vague like this, it makes it seem like you're just trying to throw dirt on him without actually having to take a stand."

This is basically saying

"If you don't elaborate, you're acting like mafia".

When in reality if MZ is town, he shouldn't care whether or not i acts like mafia, but if he is mafia. If MZ is town and thinks i is town his logical explanation should be

"If you don't elaborate, you won't convince anyone".

Because if MZ thinks i is town, he wouldn't care about i doing something potentially scummy for the sake of it being scummy, and rather because it is not helpful. However if MZ thinks i is mafia, why is he explaining the steps i can take to remove any suspicion MZ might have to him. It's like me saying "hey, you just made a case that is wrong, that is very mafia like. please make another case that is right so I don't have to call you mafia." It's just an absurd way of playing the game.

The only reasonable conclusion is that MZ must think i is town, and thus it makes no sense for MZ to point out something i does looks like something mafia does.

The reason I created in my head is that MZ knows i is town, and doesn't feel the need to call him mafia right now, but does leave the open-ended suspicion for use later.

Also why on earth are we talking about your perception of me.

a) I don't care what your perception of me is because I think you're mafia.

b) The entire point comes from your interaction with i. Nothing to do with me.

So I have no idea what you're on about.
