He loves me! wait what?
Here, he is trying to relate two things which are not the same. ASH placed the final vote, ending the day, while adam places the second vote, bringing Lucidity to L-7. I'd also like everyone to remember that Lucidity thinks starting a bandwagon is a Scumtell.Lucidity wrote:
This post is interesting for two reasons:adam2046 wrote:
So uh...Rust and Lucidity for mafia?
1. He gives no justification for accusing Rust of being mafia.
2. He starts an almost successful bandwagon push to vote me off.
It is of course in the interest of the mafia to get townies lynched. And what better way than a quick bandwagon before anyone knows what's going on? He reacted with shock and outrage at ASH voting strager off in a similar fashion in Mafia 3...Why the change of heart? Voting me while saying "May as well find out" in a nonchalant manner...Ya.
This is an appeal to ignorance. In other words, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.Lucidity wrote:
Furthermore, who says there's even a Jester in the game?
Here, Lucidity attacks adam for his confidence. Last time I checked, confidence was not a scumtell. It is also a very indirect way of saying "I'm not a mafia."Lucidity wrote:
Like I said before, you're way too confident in your claims to not be suspicious. It looks like you're trying to lock in a non-mafia lynch to me.
This is WIFOM, followed directly by stonethrowing against WIFOM. In many of his posts, Lucidity asserts that WIFOM is not a valid argument basically by calling it names.Lucidity wrote:
Have you considered that if I actually were the Jester that I wouldn't make it that obvious? Roleclaim mafia to get voted and then vote for myself? And don't give me that WIFOM crap
Everyone is still joking around? Didn't Lucidity's actual defense begin in his last post? This is an inconsistency, followed by more stonethrowing at WIFOM, with a hint of ad hominem. There is nothing to prove that WIFOM is silly or that people who use it are paranoid.Lucidity wrote:
Oh come on;p Everyone was joking around (still are). Using WIFOM as a basis for voting is silly. There's absolutely no justification for using that, except paranoia. Or maybe trying to mislead others.
Here, Lucidity provides no proof of adam and Wojjan being suspicious.Lucidity wrote:
By proving my innocence? haha ;p You and Wojjan are so suspicious -.-
Something actually valuable. It shall be noted that strager warrants suspicion, and he shall be included in my next post.Lucidity wrote:
Alrighty. That does make the game more interesting
I assumed strager was joking earlier:But who knows?!strager wrote:
Role claim: Team Rocket Grunt.
Rather than providing evidence, Lucidity repeats himself. Another accusation, again lacking anything to back it up.Lucidity wrote:
You and adam seem to act in unison. Both of you are also extremely determined to get rid of me.Wojjan wrote:
Also, Lucidity, you could aswell elaborate why you see me and adam as one person.
Here Lucidity claims that voting for himself is just a joke. My question to Lucidity is this: Why is it that your vote for yourself is a joke, and adam and Wojjan's votes are scum-votes trying to quick lynch you? Again, this is followed by WIFOM.Lucidity wrote:
Lucidity, don't act all "you're trying to kill me ;((" since you tried to kill yourself aswell.This was still part of the joke. I really didn't even know that a role such as the Jester existed until it was pointed out in this thread. I don't expect anyone to believe that, but it's trueThis is only my second mafia game.
Have you considered that if I were trying to kill myself I would not have voted for myself so early on? My vote pretty much canceled the assault on me. If I were a Jester I would have waited until I could put in the final vote, wouldn't I? At the very least I wouldn't have acted so blatantly to get myself voted...
Lucidity's "joke post" is the only one on the page. I've yet to find a similar joke.Lucidity wrote:
None of this makes any sense, does it? Maybe it's because it's taken out of context. If you look at my Roleclaim, it was surrounded by other joke posts from every person in the thread. My roleclaim was made as a PS. A PPS "brbsuicide" followed it. I think it's quite clear that it was made in jest (lulpun), just like all the other posts at the time.
This time, Lucidity states that being aggressive and determined are scum-tells. That brings the list of attributes to someone who is confident, aggressive, and determined. Personally, this is how I would describe a scum-hunter.Lucidity wrote:
These kinds of aggressive remarks and your and adam's determination to get rid of me is what makes me suspicious of you. There's just no way that you can be that confident on the first day without knowing something that the rest of us don't. You also seem to work together. That's why I group you two together. You happy with my explanation?
I believe that this, along with all of the WIFOM and stonethrowing at WIFOM, is trying to confuse everyone. Lucidity even goes as far as to ask other people to come up with explanations for his actions.Lucidity wrote:
Seriously though, this is ridiculously suspicious to me. What does everyone else think? On hindsight, I probably shouldn't have roleclaimed like that, but I urge everyone to look at the surrounding posts...Everyone was joking around. Why would my post be serious?
Oh my gosh, another good point. There could be a roll that has the ability to psychically talk during the day.Lucidity wrote:
Roles aren't specified anywhere...Nice try though.adam2046 wrote:
Mafia are not allowed to discuss until nightime.
"That" is Echo's assertion that WIFOM is bad for townies. The tone I get from "all the votes against me are based on WIFOM?" again makes me think that Lucidity is stonethrowing here.Lucidity wrote:
I completely agree with that. And yet all the votes against me are based on WIFOM?
At times like these Ockham's razor jumps to mind.
I guess you could call the first quote WIFOM. It is also condemning WIFOM though. I'm saying that I would not use such an obvious WIFOM strategy, since WIFOM isn't any basis to vote on. I wouldn't expect anyone in the game to vote based on WIFOM. There's also the rather large inconsistency of voting for myself before I got close to being lynched. A Jester would not do that.
Simplicity. "Joking around" is the simplest explanation for my actions, and from a neutral perspective has to be the most likely reason for them.
What is "That"? Also, Lucidity provides no proof that "That" makes sense at some time or doesn't at some other time.Lucidity wrote:
That makes sense at any stage of the game except (the initial stages of) Day 1.
This is absolutely incorrect. Bandwagons, along with contradictions, anti-scum-hunting posts, and general things that don't help in any way can lead to suspicion and finding scum on Day 1. Again, it looks like Lucidity is trying to waste time to not get a lynch on Day 1.Lucidity wrote:
There is effectively no way to make an informed decision so all the votes are either joke votes or random votes.
In that case, adam and Wojjan's votes were made "before any real discussion had begun" also. There is no difference between Lucidity's vote and adam and Wojjan's vote, yet Lucidity claims her vote was a joke and adam and Wojjan's votes are scummy.Lucidity wrote:
My vote was cast before any real discussion had begun.
Again, Lucidity does not provide examples, proof.Lucidity wrote:
Possible collusion between adam and Wojjan and definite suspicious activity by Wojjan.
Here Lucidity states that voting for yourself isn't confusing and that it's the other players who talk about self-votes that confuse. Lucidity is trying to shift the blame off of himself and onto others, an early sign of self-preservation.Lucidity wrote:
This is surely a positive thing for the townies, showing that "Don't vote for yourself" isn't a rule cast in stone never to be challenged. It shouldn't always lead to confusion, unless some players insist that it does.
Again, Lucidity is stating that self-voting is not a bad thing, saying that it "should have no impact at all." Even if this is true, then Lucidity was making useless posts in this game that distracted the town from scum-hunting rather than trying to find scum.Lucidity wrote:
Another thing to consider is that voting for yourself doesn't change anything in the game. Unless you're close to the deadline and stand a real chance of being lynched because of majority vote, your self-vote should have no impact at all.
Again, Lucidity is stonethrowing against WIFOM combined with ad hominem.Lucidity wrote:
Tbh WIFOM only exists in the remote regions of a paranoid mind.
I ask for clarity, Lucidity denies it and give an excuse to set up a period of absence from the game. Lucidity is trying to set up lurking in the near future.Lucidity wrote:
Meh, too much posting to do. I am writing 2 big exams this week so if you're confused about any of my earlier posts, reread them. I can't explain all of them.
The second reason is the only valid one.Lucidity wrote:
I'm protecting myself and voting for someone who I think is suspicious and making the more efficient vote.
Since this is an opinion question, I'd be happy to give you mine. Your post-count in this game is very high. Your post quality is next to none. You don't need to post more, you need to post relevant things.Lucidity wrote:
As if I weren't posting enough already? I don't think he needed to *nudge* me to post more at all.
Again, I can't find any joke posts that even come close to yours. As for the two things you mention, rust's post is an example of early ad hominem, and you yourself suggested that strager was being serious.Lucidity wrote:
As I said in my previous post, I don't have all the time in the world. Please do take a look at the initial Day 1 posts. ALL of them are pretty much joke posts, are they not? Vote for grammar nazi. Roleclaim: Team Rocket Grunt. etc. I think it's quite clear to see without quoting 20 posts.
RE: adam an Wojjan acting in unison: Read my earlier posts. (I can't quote and requote and requote in every post I make can I?)
RE: Defense post: It starts here doesn't it?
RE: Confusing post: What's confusing about it? Reread it. The two paragraphs weren't written at the same time so they do contain two different trains of thought I guess.

Asking for what a specific role does in this game is tantamount to rolefishing, since no one except the person/people who got that role would know exactly how that role works, because Suburu messed around with the rules for roles as far as I can tell.strager wrote:

adam isn't agreeing with me because of my role/alignment. He's agreeing with my argument against you. That's where you get your "buddying" idea, and that's where you think we somehow know each other are on the same team (e.g. Mafia or Masons as you suggest, or some other role(s)) or at least adam knows I am on the same team he is (e.g. we are both Townies and adam investigated me last night as a Cop).

Buddying is usually bad in a standard game because there is no way for townies to *know* anyone is safe to talk to/back up/etc. so soon. Therefore, only Mafia would use it to either cast suspicion on other people, etc..

It was a vote with the majority to move things along to the next day.
