we cant afford not to lynch someone that dt checks red ahhhh, though i believe it to be fully possible for 2 millers to exist out of 24 town, i suppose.
25% chance you're miller, 75% chance you're mafia such gooood odds

it's really better just to get you out of the way

i mean im totally open for leaving you alive for the full time but my vote is never going off you

This is odd. Zeks told me he had placed a bomb on Infundibulum and Amber[light]. I wonder why Amber didn't die? Maybe he switched to bumatlarge at night.

Yeah you can afford to wait though. We have two full days. At least allow me to defend myself before automatically voting. And also, if there is anothe rmiller, than theres a 3/4 chance that I'm miller, not 25%. Going to bed soon so anyone who'd like to PM BM about that, I'd be uber grateful.
No, its not just better to get me out of the way. Did you see how many we lost man? Right now, we're on basically, at heart, speculation. We need to be careful about every lynch now.
Now I'm not saying that there isn't some evidence against me... there is. I'm just saying please wait for me to defend myself before voting. Is that really so bad?

XeliN the Suicide Bomber has exploded Zeks the Mad Hatter is dead Siniquity the Medic is dead. Lakrismamma the detective is dead InFuNDiBuLuM and bumatlarge, the harmless townies are found dead Alternate theory. XeliN exploded on Zeks and he was the only one to die. His bombs killed off Infundibulum and bumatlarge. The mafia targeted Siniquity and Lakrismamma with their KP.
This theory means that there's.. a 99% chance that there was a leak within the DT group. This also means scum knows the identity of both Vets, since Zeks knew them (and told me too).

3 mafia left. ONe miller dead. If there are two millers(me and laxer, wheres this 3rd one your talking about), and laxer is dead, that means there is a 3/4 chance that one "checked red" member will miller.

what there's no way there's 3 millers, do you even understand variable change, and did you pull 3/4 out of your ass or something lol
1 miller who is already dead doesnt come into the equation, if there remains 1 miller and 3 mafia then 4 people can check red i really shouldnt have to explain this...
how is there anything we need to be careful about when voting you when you dt check red at this point in the game with 1 miller already dead...
not that id mind if you started really contributing to town in your final hours because you got alot to make for bro

??? I was confused cause you said there are 3 miller. If there are 3 mafia and one(alive) miller, and all 4 check red, that means that if you take all the 4 who checked red without knowing their roles, theres a 3/4 chance an individually selected person will be t....fail. Haha 1/4. Sorry bout that, my uber fail. =D rofl...

I haven't seen or read too many Mafia games with the "Abstain" voting option; normally I just see people voting for themselves but that is not allowed in this game. Regardless, the six people on this list are all fairly inactive or haven't been contributing much, myself included. Though tree.hugger has brought up that Mafia will spread their votes amongst other people, I do think he's right in assuming that at least one Mafia member is abstaining, since it's the easiest way out. When I went back and searched for the relevant posts people had made, I found that most of the above-mentioned do not have really any substantial or substantiating posts. Luckily, chaoser has saved me some time by notating the abstain votes here. Interestingly, or not-really-so-, enough, abstainers have a pretty low level of useful activity. Let's start with Laxercannon. He doesn't really seem to make an effort in the game, and only has one post in which he types more than a line of text. He abstains but then doesn't make any effort to change it over the course of the next four or so hours. Also, his lack of attentiveness can be seen in his latest comment, stating that he wasn't following the thread enough. From reading a few past games he's been in, he seems to normally be more active. It's really too early, in my opinion, to draw some sort of conclusive read but I think it can be conclusively said that from the evidence given so far, Laxercannon is not playing very pro-town. I've never seen tricode play a game before, but I think he's one of the older players, judging by his posting attitude. Out of the people on the abstain list, he seems to be the only one who isn't just posting spam (besides myself, since I only have two posts... though even those two don't add anything!). He votes for an abstain because he has to see his dad off, and then says that lynches have to be used, since saying "what if" loses the game. This is a good idea. tricode reads pretty town in my eyes. chaoser doesn't really seem to be saying too much, looking through his posts, though he did compile the voting list afterward for the final few hours of the first day. He reiterates some old points beforehand, but I do like the list afterward. Will have to beware of 'paraphrased wording,' of course. chaoser seems to be playing pro-town, but he doesn't do the analysis himself, saying that "others can make use of [this information] however they want." Undecided. Southrawrea has almost nothing of value posted, and he seems like a new player, in part because of the editing. He wants to 'take it easy' day 1 since there's nothing to go off of, but isn't it beneficial to the Mafia to have the town discuss nothing? Once again I can't say anything conclusively (even to myself) at this point, but Southrawrea isn't playing very pro-town. Me... I don't feel like I should speak about myself. I just replaced in this game yesterday, caught up at the end of last night, and am making an attempt to PM and post now. I don't want to be an inactive bum, since that just benefits the Mafia. The less inactives there are, the fewer hiding spots the Mafia will have. And finally, zeks. Votes for Hyperbola as a placeholder (why not abstain?) but then removes his vote after the rest of the votes for Hyperbola, disregarding Subversion's, have been cast. Doesn't really say anything of value, at most just reiterates some known things. Not very pro-town. Will attempt to comment on other people later as I go along.

Ah, my pre-emptive refreshing before posting has shown me that BrownBear has elucidated the first part of my post above. Being too lazy to delete, I am going to post it anyway.
There are a few scenarios that come to mind though, and plausible or not I feel compelled to list them out: 1) d3_crescentia is a non-Veteran role and was saved by a Medic. In the games that I have read and played before, Medic saves, especially so early, are pretty unlikely. 2) d3_crescentia is a Veteran and took the hit. Probably the most plausible situation. 3) d3_crescentia is Mafia, claiming to have taken a hit while the Mafia doublestacked Foolishness in order to kill him. I don't think this is the case, but it could be a highly effective ploy if used correctly...
BrownBear: your post assumes that there are two Veterans? We do not know that there are that. If there is only one other Veteran and d3_crescentia claims that the logic goes to nil.
After Foolishness died, my immediate thoughts (of course) went to DarthThienAn. Before Foolishness' death, the two of them had an argument. Then Foolishness died. This alone makes me less suspicious of DarthThienAn, given his post-death trolling. Will go back to read Foolishness' posts though. From my readings he is generally pretty insightful. I remember him calling one person out but I'm too lazy to find it at this point since I want to get this post out.
Wondering about youngminii. After defending himself, he has gone silent. Also, let's not forget Subversion, with his "Mafia have not made many mistakes so far" and the suspicious vote.

So why wouldn't we vote for it today? It's probable we'll have a wealth of information by the next day. Yes, you vote the day prior to activate the double lynch for the next day. Since it’s been brought up, just to further expound upon the double lynch debate: it may be okay to use Day 3, meaning we’d have to vote for it now. Given the nature of this game, a lot of confirmation can be found at night—any medic save will result in a confirmed townie, and disregarding the 1/soon-to-be-27th chance of hitting the Godfather with a check, Detective checks will come back with a confirmation as well. However, at this point it’s still much easier to strike green (or blue) with checks, meaning that there’d still be no definite, not to even think of having two locked choices, for a Day 3 double lynch. As the game goes on, the town gets exponentially stronger information-wise through confirmations and PMs, and we only have two double lynches. However, since it seems like there is a lot of finger pointing. Best to save the double lynches, in my opinion, for when the town is more united. This might have been discussed to death already, but I do not agree with BrownBear’s Veteran roleclaiming plan. As Amber[LighT] has said, a Veteran has one vote regardless of how long he/she remains alive. In reality, until a Veteran is “confirmed” either through taking a hit or being the target of a Detective check, he/she is nothing more than a Townie. BrownBear has said that Mafia would not dare claim Veteran since when the third claim surfaces one red is guaranteed to go down (unless it’s the Godfather) but I agree with Amber when he/she (guy, right?) says that the Veterans would then just serve as a shining beacon of “hey, don’t waste your KP on me.” Even if two people claim Veteran, Detectives would still want to check them to make sure—what if one of our Veterans is an inactive player and hasn’t read the thread? Since pretty much any Detective check will confirm somebody, essentially wastes a check where Detectives could be trying to find reds, since once again a lot of fingers are being pointed right now. Mafia don’t have to hit the Veteran—they simply just have to use the Bomber on one, in hopes that a Detective will try to confirm. This has been talked about below, so I don’t think I’m going to talk about it more. iNfunDiBuLuM has also said this too. Whoops, how did I miss his post. In short, I do not agree with a Veteran claiming plan. BloodyC0bbler’s plan is nice, and he really does highlight how advantageous the town has it this game. Also, it serves to show how much more of an advantage we have as compared to a regular game the longer we wait. As for the last two pages, I’ll over them separately. It seems right now that there’s just a lot of flak being thrown around randomly. If I check the pages, I see DarthThienAn, citi.zen, Subversion, Chaoser, and BrownBear seem to be accused. We’ve still got more than a day left, so I’m going to take my time and do some reading. I guess I’ll compile my thoughts on these people by looking at posts. Dinner (first meal of the day!) now.

However, the post that I brought up with the line in question was brought to my attention through PM land, and while it is something a new player would say, Freudian slips are still part of Mafia. I think though that more people are suspicious of Subversion because of the way the voting turned out.

As for the role claim, ambivalence. Generally either mass roleclaims work or nobody role claims. One or two people doing so is bound to lead to sniping in the future, and it takes confirmation first.
And Infundibulum's list is interesting. I'd forgotten about the inactives.

I don't like waiting until Day 5 for double lynch because too many townies can die by that time and it makes it harder to use one of our most dangerous weapons against the mafia. If you guys aren't voting for it today, you should strongly consider voting for it tomorrow. I can live with this.

Show nested quote +Re: DTA -
I should thank pyrr for doing a really thorough analysis here. I do think it's possible the mafia took that gambit of not killing DTA to make him appear more red (see Foolish's quote... "if the mafia don't kill you tonight you're red" [that was paraphrased]). So, I want to see how he responds to Pyrr's accusation before I decide if I want to vote for him. The pressures pretty strong already. ANd i gotta say i'm all but convinced on this one. Pyrr dropped a bomb with this one. Reading through it is very convincing, and given how DarthThienAn has been playing this game ("Chezinu"-style but even more useless) at the very most he is playing very anti-town. I'm tempted to place my vote on him, but as we still have around 11 hours till deadline the fact that DarthThienAn hasn't been able to defend himself means that my vote will be staying upon an abstain now. After all, innocent till proven guilty, right? Something that should be taken into consideration is the dichotomy of the battle. Still so early on, I don't think it's worth it for Mafia (if Pyrrhuloxia) is indeed so to make such a direct attack, especially since Mafia know that the victim will indubitably flip town-aligned. Of course, that could be WiFOM speaking but it doesn't seem likely. If DarthThienAn is not Mafia, then we probably have a town-on-town fight that the Mafia are either going to slightly help stir on or sit back and enjoy. Make no mistake, DarthThienAn is a strong player. I have read over a few of his past games now and he is quiet coherent and forceful when he wants to be. Hopefully this calling-out will force him to be more of a benefit to the town. In regards to Subversion: The more I read into it, the more that I think people still accusing Subversion are just looking for an easy target. As Roffles has mentioned, Subversion still seems new to this game, and blunders do occur. If they continue to happen, we can easily hold him accountable for them, and his trail is easy enough to backtrack. The same holds true with BrownBear. He (conclusively figure out it's a he from reading past games) can be a very well-spoken player, and was very pro-town in the first game he subbed in for, where he got into a bit of a sticky situation with a strategic modkill scenario. He's attempted to make amends for his Day 1 actions, though if his posting slips back into the unacceptable zone he's already on radar. Chaoser seems to be a separate ticket, though if he is red he is not as strong a threat as DarthThienAn can potentially be. I assume Chaoser's experiment was to get Subversion to claim, though I think at this point we've already had enough soft claiming to get us through. With all this being said and done, right now it seems like that along with the rest of the town, we're all waiting for DarthThienAn to speak. Hopefully he'll finally calm down and give us some legible answers, and hopefully we'll be able to bring out the great town player in him. For now, since I am heading out for the day I will once again ##Vote abstainas a placeholder. I will most definitely return before deadline and will change my vote to DarthThienAn, but at this point I'm unwilling to vote for Subversion or BrownBear. Chaoser, too, can wait for a later day, and we will pressure him to post better. People that need to post more: tree.hugger, Divinek, lakrismamma, SouthRawrea, ~OpZ~, BloodyC0bbler, d3_crescentia, Tricode, and zeks. I am just going through the player roster thinking "who haven't I seen on the thread" in a while, so this list may be subjectively based upon my memory. For the most part though, I think this is correct. Don't let inactivity hurt us, town. Just because we're embroiled in this current situation it doesn't mean we let potential Mafia just sit back and do nothing.

So are these guys suspicious cause they contradicted themselves as well? Bring a better argument. Chaoser, throwing blame around isn't the best way to make your case, especially if you are so blatantly wrong. I was subbed into this game and did not have time to finish reading the thread, as stated. If you are going to make false accusations, at least try to back them up.

Out of this list, there are 4 people that I am absolutely sure are town aligned. That leaves 10 people left. By using this double lynch today, there's a 1/5 chance that we hit mafia. It is crucial that we hit at least 1 mafia today because that will lower their KP to 1. If we don't hit any scum today, then there will be 10 people left tomorrow with 3 Mafia and no double lynches. Miss two more times and it's lights out for town. So while it's not GG if we miss today, it doesn't bode well for us at all if they're allowed to keep using their 2 KP.
There's a good chance Pandain is mafia and so he's my leading suspect. I propose that we lynch chaoser since he's pretty much next on my list. I know I was wrong about Infundibulum but we don't really have anyone better to lynch (unless you can come up with one), and chaoser was one of Zeks's leading suspects too. Aaaaand with that:

1.if we keep abstaining cause we are always uncertain of what to do, we will never push to killing and finding a mafia member if we went at that rate.
2. That person who is being inactive is probably useless to us anyways just because they are not doing anything to participate.
3. One of the inactive are likely to be mafia just because there is usually one or two guys that are inactive or just post a little bit just so they can stay alive.
Either case, we won't accomplish anything by abstaining, it might even hurt us cause if we keep the option in our head we might use it to much in fear of constantly killing townies/blues and such. So I suggest try keeping abstains as placeholders or if you are truly uncertain in what to do.
Otherwise I encourage and highly suggest that we always use our lynches.
Yeah I think we should lynch, just because isn't the mafia going to kill one of us by the next day? Then again, I'd feel horrible if I lynched a good person. I might abstain, but I'll have to see both sides first. I'll decide later. Oh ho ho. Tis all about risks and taking chances and making educated guesses.

My vote only looks suspicious due to really poor timing =/ You don't vote for someone just because "they're fucked anyways". That's how bandwagons form. If we have a mafia starting a bandwagon, we _should_not_ just jump on it even if it's winning. I've already defended this a million times now I told you, there was noone else that looked better, and I didn't want to abstain. Sure, maybe I should've just abstained, but everyone was saying abstaining is stupid and I'm new and I didn't want to fuck up. Lol, that's gone great so far Also, why the fuck all the attention on my vote? Someone made a great post about how Hyperbola's fate was sealed in a block of 4 or 5 votes within an hour. Why is noone looking at those people? My vote came hours afterwards, when he was already circling the drain. It seems pretty clear to me that I'm just a n00b townie jumping on a bandwagon. Why has everyone forgotten about the big group of people that STARTED the bandwagon in the 1st place? You came in with the deciding vote in the end. Hyperbola's fate wasn't sealed and he easily could have been the one still alive today and not youngminii. The person who started Hyperbola's vote train was the guy Hyperbola accused at the very beginning without reading anything. The Mafia has no reason to start a bandwagon on Day 1. No need to risk, especially when they know who's what and they have the power to pretty much bandwagon any vote at the last minute to skew it in their favor. Which brings us back to you, the deciding vote in the end. I'd say you sealed Hyperbola's fate by jumping on board late, which can very possibly be due to Mafia bandwagoning at the last moment. Also, don't bring up this noob card. No one cares if you're a noob.

Aside from DTA's antics, I think we're on the wrong path here, but that's just a hunch. On July 22 2010 02:01 Roffles wrote:Show nested quote +On July 22 2010 01:34 Amber[LighT] wrote: Unvote BrownBear ##Vote: Subversion
Though I think BrownBear's analysis and plan is crappy, we can get more info is we lynch Subversion. Lynching BB just proves that we, as a town, aren't as organized as we would like to be. The Subversion discussion caught a lot of players, many more than the BB discussion. By determining Subversion's role we can pinpoint other key players who were pushing for and against the Subversion lynch. I'm willing to risk putting my name into the hat to get the town on a better path to victory. Depending on the flip, the DT's should try and look at key players involved in the Subversion dispute. Nah, I legitimately think Subversion is just a newbie who made a dumb mistake. He made a stupid blunder the last game he played, and ended up getting modkilled. However, him pulling out the newbie card himself is an alarming point to possibly take suspicion off him. Once again, I think we're going in the wrong direction.

Anyways, I'm against the BrownBear/Subversion bandwagons. I think BB played terribly Day 1, but that doesn't mean we should lynch him for his piss poor play. It's highly unlikely Mafia slips up the way he did. As for Subversion, he's in the same boat.
As for lynch targets, I'll skip DTA, and vote for Chaoser simply because he seems to be pushing the BB/Subversion vote wagons pretty hard. Abstained on the first day, even though Abstaining is a rather dumb thing to do on the first day.
If you search through his past, you'll see Chaoser jumping all over Subversion just for a slight slip up, as if he's searching for the tiniest hole to blame someone for. As for DTA, I have my suspicions, but I'm gonna vote for my gut instinct in Chaoser.
##Vote: Chaoser On July 22 2010 05:30 Roffles wrote: Feel free to think that way.
I ain't jumping on bandwagons, I'm just simply browsing back and making observations on how the game has played out. To put it simply, I think the mistakes Subversion and BrownBear made aren't Mafia type slip ups. In fact, I highly doubt the Mafia would act that reckless or use words the way Subversion did. To me, those are just newbie mistakes made by both players, as the Mafia has no need to pull such stupid stunts. Even if someone was in danger of getting modkilled and they were Mafia, they wouldn't ever dream of pulling such a stupid stunt as "Vote first, then read, and publicly claim so". No mafia would ever risk such a thing, as it just puts way too much suspicion on them.
Same goes for Subversion's slip up. So what'd I do? I went back, and browsed through everyone's post histories in this thread, and went to see who was pushing the vote boats. A few stuck out to me, but sure as hell Chaoser has done exactly what Mafia might do in such situations. Picked on word play, pounded the smallest things in order to generate a vote bandwagon. If you sift through his posts, half of them are simply vote recounts, which inflate his activity. In fact, he's been flying under the radar, and 1) abstained on Day 1, and has been pushing for Subversion's death ever since Day 2 started.

There, you outlined it yourself. You acknowledge that his little mafia mistake is just weird, yet you still cast your vote for him.

So all those who are picking either BB or Subversion (especially BB) I urge you to change your vote and vote for either Darth of Chaoser. I would suggest Chaoser, just because I find him more likely to be mafia than DTA. To me, it still seems that Chaoser is just trying to get people lynched and DTA could be plannign something. Of course we should keep an eye on DTA, but let's not just lynch him and ruin anything he might be doing.
I would urge you to vote Chaoser, but at the very least I humbly request all those not voting either DTA/Chaoser to unvote and pick one of them.
that's very scummy of you to say isn't it? Your suggestion gives mafia license to stack votes instead of having to worry about spreading it over different potential targets (4) right now. If later people ask, they can be like well, Pandain suggested it. And how am I more likely as mafia than DTA? Look at Pyrr's huge statement against him against the two weak points you bring against me (that I abstained after saying don't go with the no-lynch plan (which others did too) and then voted Subversion today.) If I get lynch and I flip non-red, people should carefully examine all the people who are hardcore gunning for me (Pandain, youngminii) Just an extra post that sheds a little light from Pandain's perspective. Anyways, while we're here, Chaoser to me seems like one of the big bandwagon voters in this thread, which is pretty much what Mafia likes to do. As well as a couple others, Chaoser has flopped from BB's wagon to Subversion's wagon with the excuse of "Everyone seems to be doing it, so I might as well too". First day, he gave the Abstain at first excuse in order to avoid a modkill, but never really changed his vote in the end. There are other signs as well, but the fact that he keeps pushing a couple dumb bandwagons in BB and Subversion reeks of bleh to me. Others fit this bill as well, but might as well push for Chaoser to get lynched since he's closer than other possible scum I have in mind.

So the only way to get substance out of these people is to call them out and pressure vote them. I'd think by now voting on an inactive is just about as likely to yield results as RNG...which is to say you have about a 1/5 chance of nailing a Mafia, and if we don't due to a crazy vote swing at least we have something to go on for the next day.

Depends how things work out, if there is someone who at the end of day 1 has only posted one thing that is about as useful as typing "lol mafia!" then I'd agree but it depends on circumstance.
This only really applies for the first day, after that lynching for inactivity if there is not a more obvious choice seems like a universally very good idea, but I'm surprised more people arn't considering the idea of using a RNG to decide our first kill.
And OpZ just lol @ immediately claiming 3 people seemingly randomly as mafia. So much spam in the first couple pages. Get a hold of yourselves people, you're not witty. Also, our inactive lynches always end up being townies, but every time when we look back at the game, there's always a mafia member or two who was inactive at the beginning, or posted and spammed just enough to clear the inactivity bar. I propose we make a list of FIVE players who are inactive, and then RNG them to determine a lynch candidate. That way we either force mafia into the open, or catch that one newbie mafia who doesn't know how to post properly. At the very least that would make the town's move a little harder to gauge. If you narrow the list down to 3 I'm down with it. If you put it at 5 people and only get 1 mafia correctly on the list, then you've only done just as good as a blind RNG (20%). You narrow it down to three and conversely you have a chance to have a list full of greens and nothing else, which is likely because you're only using 10% of the player list assuming a red is playing inactively. Either go full RNG or go full inactive because a mix of the two is liable to get us a list with only greens on it which is even more pointless than just picking a random number.

however, i don't want to lynch someone that would just get modkilled since that's obviously a waste.
Bill, how many votes can someone miss before they get zapped? As far as I know they can't miss any votes at all. We have more of a chance to land on a townie with any day 1 method we choose simply due to the fact that there are 24 townies and 6 mafia...there is no way of avoiding this. As a matter of fact I would say we have a better chance of hitting a good red player through RNG because I mean...who's to say that this "good townie" isn't just a red being a good townie. I understand lynching an inactive is killing someone who wouldn't have helped anyway but you're still doing just that...just about guaranteeing a green lynch which is completely pointless.

I don't understand how a no-lynch is beneficial to the town if you're going to kill an inactive anyway. You learn absolutely nothing from it, you don't even have a CHANCE at hitting a red, and you're basically wasting a whole day on nothing.

Initially this bandwagon looked rather harmless but now he's got 7 votes on him and unless a miracle happens it looks like he's being lynched.
That being said anybody who advocates no lynch as much as Youngminii has is crazy sketchy while at the same time ignoring why people have said it's a terrible thing to do. In the end it's rarely the blues that actually win you the game and it's a few good analytical townies that save the day.

No lynch is a terrible idea. If we lynch someone on the first day without any good reason there's a solid chance (12/15) that we'll hit a townie. That's 80%.

So the only way to get substance out of these people is to call them out and pressure vote them. I'd think by now voting on an inactive is just about as likely to yield results as RNG...which is to say you have about a 1/5 chance of nailing a Mafia, and if we don't due to a crazy vote swing at least we have something to go on for the next day.

Depends how things work out, if there is someone who at the end of day 1 has only posted one thing that is about as useful as typing "lol mafia!" then I'd agree but it depends on circumstance.
This only really applies for the first day, after that lynching for inactivity if there is not a more obvious choice seems like a universally very good idea, but I'm surprised more people arn't considering the idea of using a RNG to decide our first kill.
And OpZ just lol @ immediately claiming 3 people seemingly randomly as mafia. So much spam in the first couple pages. Get a hold of yourselves people, you're not witty. Also, our inactive lynches always end up being townies, but every time when we look back at the game, there's always a mafia member or two who was inactive at the beginning, or posted and spammed just enough to clear the inactivity bar. I propose we make a list of FIVE players who are inactive, and then RNG them to determine a lynch candidate. That way we either force mafia into the open, or catch that one newbie mafia who doesn't know how to post properly. At the very least that would make the town's move a little harder to gauge. If you narrow the list down to 3 I'm down with it. If you put it at 5 people and only get 1 mafia correctly on the list, then you've only done just as good as a blind RNG (20%). You narrow it down to three and conversely you have a chance to have a list full of greens and nothing else, which is likely because you're only using 10% of the player list assuming a red is playing inactively. Either go full RNG or go full inactive because a mix of the two is liable to get us a list with only greens on it which is even more pointless than just picking a random number.

if we lynch an inactive we're killing someone who probably would not have helped us anyway
however, i don't want to lynch someone that would just get modkilled since that's obviously a waste.
Bill, how many votes can someone miss before they get zapped? As far as I know they can't miss any votes at all. We have more of a chance to land on a townie with any day 1 method we choose simply due to the fact that there are 24 townies and 6 mafia...there is no way of avoiding this. As a matter of fact I would say we have a better chance of hitting a good red player through RNG because I mean...who's to say that this "good townie" isn't just a red being a good townie. I understand lynching an inactive is killing someone who wouldn't have helped anyway but you're still doing just that...just about guaranteeing a green lynch which is completely pointless. As I said before I'm willing to go with either, there isn't much we could do. The issue I see with RNG is verifying if it's actually RNG. On July 18 2010 10:16 Jayme wrote: No-Lynch?

Initially this bandwagon looked rather harmless but now he's got 7 votes on him and unless a miracle happens it looks like he's being lynched.
That being said anybody who advocates no lynch as much as Youngminii has is crazy sketchy while at the same time ignoring why people have said it's a terrible thing to do. In the end it's rarely the blues that actually win you the game and it's a few good analytical townies that save the day. If a sudden bandwagon comes up and all of a sudden a detective gets killed you have yourself at the very least a strong suspect list.
SO yea

You also endorse no lynching on the first day to appear to be "pro-life" and "for the town". I really don't see your reasoning behind this because a random shot in the dark of inactives or suspicious players can in fact nab a red. And if it doesn't you only lose a green because a blue would at least roleclaim or try to join up with trust circles to avoid getting lynched in this manner. (Divided blues that don't make connections are really hindering the town). SiNiquityI had absolutely no evidence against you before but now you are starting to stink of scum at first you took my accusal of you as a joke and brushed it off, but when people started accusing me of being mafia you saw an opportunity and went into action to provide as much evidence as you could find against me by even looking into past games. Then you just completely shut your mouth and is now waiting for the situation to close to start talking again (afraid you'll say something to bring attention to you and me being the perfect scapegoat). Also your previous posts were really try-hard in my opinion. You contributed absolutely nothing by typing up lengthy posts that just summarized what everyone said. Besides that you clarified and discussed some rules of the game and such. You want to make it seem like you are contributing and keep a neutral and non aggressive stance like a reporter so no one would suspect you.

subversion should have been lynched, would have told us a lot.
I'm looking at phyrr now. He's jerked around an entire town before as mafia and nobody ever really challenged it. I don't think it's the case this time but it should be looked at.

Putting these out right now; seems that both were fairly inactive but definitely seemed like a blue snipe. Or maybe one of these got vigi hit and Mafia hit BC? Have to wait for a claim I guess.

So BC is either a Veteran or was protected by the remaining medic (orr Medics can protect the night they're killed, and Roffles protected BC). Is that last one even possible? Medics can protect the night they die, at least in most games. If it was Roffles, we will never know. Hopefully though it was the other Medic... There were three "hits" last night. Jayme and Roffles died, and BloodyC0bbler claims he took a hit. Right now, there are a few cases: - 1) Jayme and Roffles were hit by Mafia. BloodyC0bbler was hit by the Vigilante.
- 1a) BloodyC0bbler is a Veteran and lost his extra life to the Vigilante hit.
- 1b) BloodyC0bbler was protected by a Medic.
- 1b1) The Medic that protected BloodyC0bbler was Roffles.
- 1b2) The Medic that protected BloodyC0bbler was the other Medic (not Roffles).
- 1c) BloodyC0bbler is a Veteran and was protected by a Medic.
And the same follows if Jayme/Roffles were targeted by the Vigilante and BloodyC0bbler was hit by the Mafia. However, BloodyC0bbler could be faking the hit, and he would only do that if he were Mafia. This is easily remediable if the Vigilante who fired the shot steps up and says who he shot. We can get a semi-confirm if we lynch that Vigilante, and it's even easier for us if more than one Vigilante claims. There is no reason for the Vigilante not to step up at this point. Doing so is anti-town and denies us further information we so desperately need. So where do we go from here? Unfortunately, we still have not much from Day 2 to go for. We could test our two remaining lynch candidates, Subversion and Chaoser, or we could go even further and look at BrownBear, who dropped off the list early. If 1a) is true, then we wasted our Veteran's extra life. The trick here is hoping that our Detectives checked him. There is a viable chance that BloodyC0bbler is Godfather since he is one of the "key" players in this Mafia game, but I can WiFOM a "why" or "why not" out of it. If a Detective checked him, it might be the time to speak out in the thread, or at least use his circle (if BloodyC0bbler is Godfather, then the Detective should have a mouth) or use his Night 1 Check to announce it. Actually, it's best if the Detective Mouth announces it, unless it was a Medic. If the mouth (mouth = result of Night 1 Check, again) is a Medic, then the Detective himself should step up, since the Medic can save him/her. Regardless, if a Detective checked BloodyC0bbler, we need you to step up and give the town some information. Staying quiet is NOT the answer anymore. If BloodyC0bbler was the Godfather, chances are he took the Townie role, since the number of roles is not undisclosed this game. If a Detective role checked and it came back blue, in my eyes that lessens the threat of Godfather-BC considerably. Less likely is the Veteran role, but once again we know there are only two real Veterans in the game. If 1b1): We're out of luck here. If Roffles died, he can no longer confirm if he protected or not. At this point, we only have the other Medic. This is a bad scenario for us, since the town as an aggregate will not get much information. The only other person who knows if the other Medic, since he/she will not have protected BloodyC0bbler. And in the case of both protecting (unlikely) then the situation is easier. Return to my explanation of how Scenario 1A) should be dealt with, since we have no way of knowing if BloodyC0bbler is the Godfather or not. If we had no conclusive checks, refer to the solution for 1b2). If 1b2): It is still risky for Medic to reveal himself/herself to BloodyC0bbler, but we might have to take a gamble of faith. Far better is it for the Vigilante to claim in thread, and the Vigilante and Medic find each other through PMs. This is our consolation prize here, since we will be able to start a town circle at least. If Jayme/Roffles were hit by a Vigilante. In that case, we NEED the Vigilante to claim and explain himself. If this is the case, then BloodyC0bbler was hit by Mafia and therefore he is a confirmed townsperson, since Mafia cannot hit their own. The exception to this case is if BloodyC0bbler is faking, and the Mafia had targeted Roffles/Jayme and hits overlapped. In that case, generally the scenario is whoever sent in the kill order first gets the kill and if the Mafia get it in first, the Vigilante gets his kill refunded. It is not detailed in the Original Post, but other games I have read it follows as such. Another way these things are usually resolved is that the blue actions go out before Mafia actions do, and then Mafia have to repick. In that case, it's still relatively easy to catch BloodyC0bbler for lying since the Vigilante should either know his kill went through or told it was refunded. If we have a scenario where the Vigilante got his kill through, then either BloodyC0bbler was hit by Mafia or is lying. And if he is town, there is no point in lying. TL;DR: There is no TL;DR. Town is in a bad situation right now and by skipping this informative post you will be helping the Mafia win. Please read it. My thoughts on this: a weekend is coming up. This next day cycle will be played out mostly on Friday and Saturday. From the thread, we see that BloodyC0bber is playing mostly after work, but most people do not work on weekends. From past games, he is fully capable of stepping his own game up, and Mafia were afraid. Of course, it's just as likely that somebody is trying to be a hero ( Never do this Vigilantes, since your Town-sided KP is very precious later in the game when numbers are too low for voting) and tried to kill BloodyC0bbler. From his posts, BloodyC0bbler is not anti-town; in fact he has made the most pro-town post that was unfortunately mostly ignored by the flaming and spamming. If you have not yet done so, go back and review this post. Too much to think about right now, and I'm really tired. I have to entertain house guests this weekend, so my activity will be limited. As for now, good night folks. On July 23 2010 16:38 Protactinium wrote: Wow... uh... words cannot express how sad I am that my hour and some minutes spent writing that post just went to waste.
Still, read it anyway. I don't think Tricode is lying (though why would you target somebody you want to remain alive?) but just in case...
Good night town.
##Vote: Abstain ##Vote: Double Lynch On July 24 2010 01:50 Protactinium wrote: Just because Tricode is willing to die doesn't mean we should let him. Even though if he is a powerless Vigilante at this point, knowingly offing him (even when he wants to) is just wasting another townsperson's life. In a similar vein, it is not good to lynch BloodyC0bbler just to test this. Some of you have brought up the scenario where both Tricode and BloodyC0bbler are lying (both Mafia), though that would be an insanely stupid plot that relies on WIFOM whispering to us "...are Mafia really that bold?"
Regardless, what I propose is this:
We have Tricode who is willing to sacrifice himself, both so he can get out of the game and so that he can help the town gain information with his death. However, the objective of our Day Phase is to eliminate Mafia. We have already lost one of our Kill Power roles, and though the other one is still out there that means we've effectively lost one day's worth of time to root out the Mafia. We still have not yet heard anything back from Detectives, but if a Detective checked back somebody who was red then obviously, that's a lynch right there. Some of you seem to be building cases as well, and perhaps that will help us net a red as well.
If, like on Day 2, it comes down to (plausibly) all suitable lynch candidates being town-aligned (though we still do not know about Subversion or Chaoser) we lynch Tricode since he is our backup, though only if no seriously plausible candidate is found. I'm not talking about your "I have a grudge against him or he made one silly comment" kind of deal, but a very powerful case.
It's just an idea, so it's open for discussion. How does that sound?

So it tells us more about Tricode than about BC at this time. True. Though if Tricode were Mafia, it would give us 2 Mafia members immediately, which would be a wealth of information for us. It would be one hell of a Mafia gamble to fake all of this, as they would have to bank on us not lynching Tricode. There's nothing to gain from this for the Mafia except for confusion. As it's already been said, at most one of them can be Godfather. It's a huge risk right there to assume neither of them have been checked in the four checks total. Even if that goes through, what do they gain? They don't cast suspicion on anybody in the town. Even so, as already pointed out lynching the one who claims Vigilante does not tell us anything about the person claiming to have taken the shot. I don't see a plausible reason why Mafia would do this, since even if both are not lynched today, there's nothing they can do about Detective checks in the night, and at that point the Suicide Bomber would have to kill one of his Mafia buddies for the "two-fer." Ah, I just thought about how the suicide bomber plays into all of this. Will think about it because it can potentially change the "why" and "what has to be done", but guests have arrived. Toodles for the day. On July 24 2010 14:36 Protactinium wrote: Well, guests are finally asleep. But Proleague is on, and apparently I just missed an amazing game. There's a lot to think about with citi.zen's claim. I'm tempted to trust it because it sounds amazing, but it is a do-or-die kind of situation we're in right now. If citi.zen and his Detective are legitimate, then Mafia is in a huge bind. It seems nice, but I don't get the part where citi.zen wants blues to mass roleclaim to him? Not a good idea to concentrate everything on one person, especially since he isn't really confirmed to us himself.
Initially, I really disliked this idea because of the implications if citi.zen and company were faking. Even if a fake is counter-claimed, if mouths have already spilled their information trading one red for one or two Detectives (both may claim separately) is a huge profit for Mafia, since with that way there's no way for town to convincingly figure out who is Mafia.
However, upon thinking about it the idea seems good--if the time limits are followed. However, the original plan did not include this, so it may already be too late. If Detectives held off for that time period though, we should be okay.

##Vote citi.zen
I never stopped to think about how BloodyC0bbler and Tricode could be orchestrating this though. Definitely need to watch for them tomorrow, since with two hours left it's hard to get anything solid.
Time to go continue making dumplings; will hopefully be back around thirty minutes before deadline.
Ahahaha at this point it tells me:
