Does it make sense to be focusing on the word/color black just because it was bolded? I've been focusing on the music and the willingness to kill without a trace. I haven't come up with anything yet though.

So far I must say Kav seems like he would be a good mayor but I would like to see others run.

I'm looking at the weapon here and Nemesis's profile looks like it could be something...



It is a week comparison but killing with a blade could be a clue...

Bum you have really started to sound awfully scummy in like the last 5 posts.

My first game, I haven't really had much to say but I had to comment on the flip flopping like a fish you were doing. Each day I have given what I thought about clues and yes I have gone through every profile. I'm lurking because I'm taking it all in.

Ok Kav you've definetly got my vote atm :D it's late so I'll look at the clue tomorrow but I've heard what others have said and I like the Qatol reasoning. If Kav gets the clue that'll be a good point in his favor (let's face it, right now he only has a fancy speech and I'd like a mayor with good scumhunting skills). It looks like Bum did some good background research so that does make me feel good about Kav.

Speaking of Bum, why do you want to lynch divinek? Even if it was a joke I'd like to hear why you said it.

Ok I (and I think a lot of others) am really dissatisfied with the current group of mayor candidates. I'll go through and explain why I don't like each of them.

RoL: doesn't give a shit. He said he thinks he's good at scum hunting and a likely mafia night one kill. Ok those sound like good reasons I guess but why has he barely campaigned at all. Last game I played with RoL he worked pretty hard for his election. In that game he had a very take charge mentality while in this game he's been way too laid back. If being mayor mattered so little then why even bother saying you would run.

DrH: Similar to RoL he doesn't seem to care that much about getting elected. As aggressive as RoL when he ran DrH was ten times as aggressive and insistent about being elected. Along with his less then enthusiastic campaign, his platform is almost indistinguishable from Kavs. When I'm casting my vote I wanna know why I'm voting DrH not Kav and last time DrH ran I would have known why from the start and been reminded often.

Kav: I left him for last because if I was forced to vote right now it would probably be for him. He made his intention to run clear before the start of the game so I'm not as suspicious of his desire to get elected had he only just started his push. However what's stopping me from pulling the lever for him is Kita's concession. He basically ran saying "I'm not Kav" but he conceded to prevent DrH from being elected. If we were two hours before the deadline in a tight race between DrH and Kav I could understand Kita pulling out if he really felt DrH was scummy. But at this point the games barely even begun and kita conceded just after voting began. All of this just seems weird to me, if Kita really didn't want either Kav or DrH he could have voted RoL or campaigned harder for himself.

Anyway as I said, like a lot of people I'd like to see another candidate who offered a clear contrast from the current candidates.

Oh and EBWOP because I'm suspicious of kita doesn't mean I'm also as suspicious of Kav, it just means right now I'm hesitant to vote for him.

Well I guess Kav is going to win this election. I'd have liked RoL slightly better because if he's town he's a really good scumhunter and he's more experienced but he never really actively pursued being mayor and now he's conceded. Anyway if he's town he'll still scumhunt and own the shit out of mafia so him losing mayorship isn't that big of a deal (just means medics should consider him as a night own prot). Honestly out of all the things that could have happened in the mayor election this isn't even remotely the worst.

All aboard the KavWagon :D

Yeah I'm good with your case against ON Kav, and you just made me feel a lot better about voting for you. However several people have voted for both you and RoL now and failed to give a reason for those votes. I'd like everyone to justify their votes in the thread for later reference.

I agree that we shouldn't be 100% locked into lynching ON but as Ilovejonn (can I abbreviate to ILJ?) pointed out, ON has done a couple of weakish and scummish defenses of himself. Right now I'm inclined to say he's a SK rather than mafia but either would be a good kill. However I will (and I hope Kav does as well) continue to look around to make sure we have the best fit for the clue.

If they were "almost" targets wouldn't making them BGs just give them the push to make them "targets"? The last thing we want is for the BGs to be killed night one. That's why picking lurkers is a good idea if we aren't going to have volunteers. As I said before, it forces the mafia into a decision of killing strong or active players versus killing the mayor. I agree Kav, it seems like Amber's strategy merely clumps mafia targets and makes it easier to kill people who matter.

I think Kitaman may be right about the blood / alignment relationship. Note that both LSB and Node are bolded, indicative of their neutral alignments. Perhaps this liquid will come to play a role later - anyone who drinks it, upon death, will have their alignment revealed (the potion was never the direct cause of death). The problem here then is Node claimed the liquid was a monster. An alignment revealing potion doesn't seem so monstrous...

I'd vote for RoL if he didn't seem so lazy. Some good insight on the mayor role.

I don't have a strong opinion of Kavdragon just yet, as his playstyle generally looks town.

For the most part we need to ignore clues and focus on the people themselves.

@darmousseh all those situations lead into a bunch of WIFOM. I'll be watching you for better posts.

Ugh.

I've been sick for the past few days. Food poisoning I think.

How much time do we have? I bought the case on Nemesis a few pages back so I'll be voting him. At any rate I'll vote to stay in so town doesn't get dicked over too hard but if you guys can find another sub I'm totally willing to step out.

Thanks for the analysis LD. I really hope you read the other post where I said I've been SICK with some sort of bizarre disease that causes BLOOD to erupt from my BODILY ORIFICES, but I guess I left that detail out so as to not subject yourselves to the uncomfortable facts of my life.

Skipping that - the RoL vote. I'm convinced he was town, but unfortunately we have no way to confirm that with 3 modkills. I'm willing to bet that the mafia are going to be likely to stick around for at least the first vote before dying to activity requirements. The people that immediately come under suspicion on that list are Beneather, kitaman27, Eti307. Not sure if I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Darmousseh right now either considering I think he has weak posting.

I also happen to think that if we shoot Nemesis we should be able to start figuring things out on HIS vote list as well after night census. At this point in time we need as much information as we can get.

I find it ridiculous that you don't take my illness seriously.

I find it ridiculous that I can't call people out for weak posting, but I guess if you want to lynch me/shoot me for weak posting you can actually then look at the people that actually didn't say jack about their votes at ALL after the census turns out, instead of one-liners like me. Given that your reads are usually incorrect, I'd say the probability that you're red is low, but not low enough for me to discount you.

WHY lynch RoL when he was likely town and the strongest player we have? Then again that's been the most ridiculous pattern of towns in general - lynch RoL, find out he's town and then get fucked in the ass. When he hasn't been town he's generally been less lazy, but whatever - this isn't about him. Speaking of patterns - it's been town pattern to let the other dude off after Day 1 lynch and not pay attention to him until late game again. Happened with brocket last game; would've happened with Annul on Day 2 if there was no extended day. If we can see what he's doing you'll notice that he's hasn't said anything since he dodged the lynch. That's my concern now - he'll disappear now that he's no longer in danger.

If Nemesis dies, census is taken to check his alignment -> we start looking at his vote list. The only bad thing about this plan is wasting a vig shot on someone that should be dead anyway. Fact is that even when no one stepped up to actively defend him we ACTUALLY have bunch of dumb soft defends by GMarshal (who even said after some point "no one's defending him" and switched his vote to zergling) IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE THREAD. Soft defends are treacherous territory at any rate, so it doesn't really say anything about anyone... yet.

But whatever.

As for Ace/Ver - they basically confirmed that I made the right play as mafia last game, regardless of however disgusting I felt about doing so. It's lame when town kills itself out of inactivity, so if you think I'm inactive and worth a bullet then KILL me NOW.
