Wait you mean mimi was really hina? what

Well, reading back to before N1 started, I agree that RB's sudden switch to Lilac after saying he was more suspicious of Kanye/Sakura is quite scummy in itself, but the same can be said for Lilac's No Lynch vote, which fart picked up on just now. That timeframe there is just a massive blur to me, after the 7 pages of back and forth. I'll reread it later to see if I can find anything else new.

Another thing that caught my attention is Royston bringing RB to L-1. He may be new, but he should have known that bringing anyone to L-1 so early in the day isn't a good idea because it allows for the quickhammer. His reasoning was to "bring the heat up", which is a weak reasoning when RB's already the far majority in votes. I feel he's just trying to get onto a wagon and stay there undetected, so I'll just ask him the question.
Royston: Why did you see the need to "bring the heat up"?
Lilac
Well sorry, Ojou-sama.

I am actually severely handicapped right about now since I have capped internet until 11th of this month. Not to mentioned I'm stressed out about this game but ignore that.

1. There's nothing wrong with an OMGUS vote, screw the haters, if you have a valid reason to vote for someone like me then bloody do it and make it a good case against me.

2. I did mention about a Kanye lynch being better than a Tanz one. I would dig up a quote but I'm having trouble posting enough as is now, look at the posts by me leading up to the no lynch.

3. I had 50 minutes to convince 2 other people that no lynching was terrible. Do you know how improbable that was to do?

4. I tried near the beginning of the day on 3 different people to try and scumhunt. Mimi, Tanz and BRBP. I don't want to give up but when 3 town are dead that takes a complete morale blow like you would never believe.

Come on, mate. At least help me if you can't help yourself.
My internet sucks too.

No, you did no such thing of mentioning Kanye lynch is better than Tanz. You mentioned how you rather lynch than no lynch.

You had approx 6 hours from the time you mentioned no lynch is bad and when you voted NL and within that time, BRBP, Tanz, Rantai, and I were online. That is plenty of opportunity.

No, there was only one town dead in D1 and that was NH. What are you even saying?

Why are you contradicting yourself a lot now?

Not concerned about a quickhammer. I know town wouldn't hammer, so if someone hammered & RB flipped town then we have a known scum. That's all.

What's up with that? Anyone could've went in saying "oh hurr yeah I think he's scum too", and it turns out that everyone's completely wrong because you put on too many votes on RB before he could even say anything. You say that like we're aware of who's town and who's not.

Also, are you saying you're okay with risking a mislynch while we're already 3 down?

Sure, but if someone decided to hammer so early in the day then it's a safe bet they're not town; unless the player lynched is scum, of course.

Yes, if we get scum. I'd much prefer a mislynch over no lynch, at least we gain info that way. We're already in a bad spot, we can't afford to play it safe.

Anyway, I'm off to sleep now. By tomorrow morning I expect to have some votes on me! Don't let me down scum!

Oh, and unvote for now.

Uuughhh... the stuff that you just said was... just weird. Like, I'm not even going to say your response was that scummy in particular, but goddamn, I feel as if I'm obliged to reply.

Some of the players in this game have innately shakey reasoning, even if they might turn out to be town, such as BRBP and Tanz (though we don't know if Tanz is scum or not). It's because of this that I really simply don't trust them to not hammer, even if they may be town. In other words, the person to throw down the hammer is ambiguous.

Stating a hypothetical situation where RB flipped town from a quickhammer where there wasn't enough evidence. Which would be incredibly stupid, especially given my above point which states that the person who hammers isn't guaranteed to be scum.

I don't know about you, but I don't think I would be that okay with a mislynch at this stage. I would be okay if we lynched scum, and only scum. You even said it yourself, we're in a pretty bad situation right now, but then suddenly your reasoning falls apart and you say we can't afford to play it safe? I'm not even sure if that makes sense? Usually when you're in situations where you can't really mess up, that's when you try to play safely, so you make it out okay...?
The only thing I can see as what you were trying to say is "we don't really have the option to play it safe anymore", which I wouldn't really consider to be the case, as that would be LyLo.

the point of a slip is that it's unintentional.

I also don't think that it's a strong enough slip to vote, but it still is quite interesting.

@royston: who do you think is scum and why?
fartownik
@Tanz: when I read that it looked like a funny way to say that only the Mafia knows who's Town, not really a slip.

I'm just unsure whether his vote on RB was because he's newbie Town or newbie scum. Also @Royston: why unvoting?

I might not have mentioned it explicitly but the implication was more than obvious.

Out of the 6 hours, 4 of that was lectures and about an hour was in transit to get home. I can't come up with scum hunting on the fly like that without it being utterly terrible.

I'm not talking about D1. I'm talking about right now.

The hell was anything contradicting? Also, you need to make your next post completely wisely because I've breadcrumbed a lot of things that you should have picked up and realised by now. There was one part especially for you RB but to be honest, I think you're going to waste it.

Um yeah, I'm implying the mafia knows. Unless there's something weird like a traitor going on, but I doubt it.

As for who I think is scum and why, the back and forth hasn't really done much to change my mind; I still think you're probably scum, for the reasons stated in my previous posts.

Kanye is also a possible scumspect of mine because of his inactivity. Of course, if he happens to be town then that makes him an attractive voting target for scum who can simply say "well, he was lurking, how was I to know?"

Some of the players in this game have innately shakey reasoning, even if they might turn out to be town, such as BRBP and Tanz (though we don't know if Tanz is scum or not). It's because of this that I really simply don't trust them to not hammer, even if they may be town.
Sure, fair enough.

Raging Bull wrote:

Correct, I didn't have any reasoning. Frankly I still have a null read on you, the vote was a reaction test simply for pressure.

Tanzklaue wrote:

What? I don't understand. My interpretation of what you said is "town would have no reason to assume a no lynch, but you did, hence you're mafia" ? But why would mafia assume a no lynch? If that's not what you meant, I apologize.

The implication was vague. You just wanted a lynch, you probably didn't even care who it was. The implication was just that. You just wanted a lynch.

No, your sentence was talking about D1. On D2, you did not scumhunt anyone at all. You just went for me. D1 was the day when you scumhunt Tanz, Mimi, BRBP. On D2, 3 town died. See the contradiction?

I cannot read breadcrumb (more because of my inability to do so),but I assume it's about me since something did happen to me last night.

Christ. Prod: Kanye West for the third fucking time

Is there a "3 Prods and you're out" rule

There should be a rule like that

Honestly though, I'm not entirely confident of lynching Kanye. I don't remember playing a game where he was scum, so I don't have firsthand experience of how much he lurks when scum, and I really don't like relying on meta due to its assumptions and how easy it is to trick it, as Rantai pointed out D1.
___________________________________________________

On the other hand, Royston's reasons are starting to look scummy to me. He basically admitted that he put RB on L-1 for "pressure" (which as I've said, is a weak reason) while not actually thinking he's scum.

I'm personally up for lynching scummy people than inactives who are assumed to be scummy due to only meta, so Vote: Royston

@mod: votecount + Prod Kanye

Also it's not just the inactivity from Kanye. He basically does anything but IIoA, didn't even mention/gave any explanations why he's inactive, didn't question why he's being suspected so much. I know he's inactive, but still - he has some posts and none of them mention any of the arguments I listed here.

Just come on... isn't this pooting obvious?

there is. if you get prodded 3 times, you technically get auto replaced.

not sure though if it will be enforced here.


I also find royston decently fishy. his reasoning of how he would prefer misslynching over NL when there is no indicator for NL at all is out of place, and his openly admitted acceptance of risking to lynch someone he doesn't even have a nullread is downright scummy. you should never take a relative sure misslynch over potential scumlynches.

@RB: what happened to you this night?
fartownik
I'd rather lynch someone that's heavily experienced in the game and acts scummy as fuck than someone who plays the game first time and makes a potential slip. He might not admit that, but I think voting RB in such advanced way was just a newbie slip. Not seeing it is scummy.
Royston
@Jinxy since you're voting me, who do you think the remaining scum are?

What's the difference between a 'relative sure misslynch' and a 'potential scumlynch'? Either someone's scum, or they're not. What makes you say RB's a relative sure misslynch, anyway?

Yeah, it may have been a poor decision on my part. But the fact that RB didn't get quickhammered shows something, at least.

Remaining scum, you say? Interesting choice of words there.

To humor you, I still have my doubts on fart because of his tunneling and attacks on me D1 (which I still have the opinion that his reasons were ridiculous). Just noticed that he seems to be helping you provide excuses for your L-1 vote, too.

fartownik wrote:

Another thing I don't like is the "newbie" argument, which also works on unfounded assumptions. iirc, NH or someone pulled that argument in some other forum and steamrolled that game because the other players fell for it.

Next in my list would be either Lilac or RB, which I covered 2 posts ago. Their actions pre-N1 are still reading weirdly to me, but it's just a faint suspicion, compared to you and fart.

Explain, what kind of "something"?

@tanz, I rather not say until Lilac says. (Or if he is nice enough to quote the post with breadcrumb and I will look from there.)

That last sentence shows you've at least somewhat understand now and I hope we don't have to continue this discussion further, RB.

Unvote. Waking up now.
Lilac
Last sentence as in the post one before your message to Tanz.
Lilac
Vote: Kanye.

I just can't... Even if he does answer his prod, anything he says will be so weak for me because he's not even doing anything. His last post was 3 days ago and his only serious vote was Tanz.

If we think scum is inactive, usually now is a good time to lynch because too late and it's all over.

Tanz...

Are you going to do anything like...productive? For example, give a reason.

Or do I have to recall my 5 years of German to slap your face with?

I'm sorry, it's hot as shit over here and I didn't feel like giving much of a reasoning.

my reasoning basically didn't change too much from day 1. still high inactivity, paired with almost no content when he actually posts.

Alright, here we go again. Going though everything again to see if I can pick up anything new. ._. (gaahhh so many posts)

I read through Tanz' longass argument with Sakura in ISO, and, while I originally got scum vibes from his responses, now that I'm reading it, it sort of makes him look town. The reason is, his wording seems to be very town-oriented. He seems to express genuine uncertainty as to whether some people are town or not, but also fully acknowledges that he thought Sakura was town (until the argument started to get stupid). To be honest, I don't think we can make any conclusions from Tanz's posts once the argument got heated; I'm thinking he was getting frustrated that Sakura was tunnelling him for so long, so he's town for now.

Something I noticed about fart's targeting is that he seems to always suddenly find someone to focus on, and then after a short exchange, he'd let them off and be like "well okay, your reasoning seems town so it's fiiiiine". Which is normal, but he pretty much did that for everyone he suspected. However, he did mention something that explains his actions pretty well:

fartownik wrote:

I don't like 1on1 discussions like this because they usually turn out being a Town vs Town fights
Still could be possibly scummy, trying to make debates/look like he's scumhunting without looking like he just want to get someone lynched? We'll see.

Oh, also, I wanted to ask you what this was about:

fartownik wrote:

And if there's a Doctor - you possibly ruined the game for Town.
Royston's recent posts have been making me feel more and more like he's scum. Like... rrgh I don't really know how to explain myself actually. By now, with the exception of Kanye, Royston is far behind in postcount from everyone else. His posts seem to be lacking in content as well. I don't know if he's just playing this game half-assedly, or perhaps he's mafia, and his inexperience is making it hard for him to come up with anything. Though, imo if it's your first game, you'd probably try to make a decent effort right? Because it helps you learn better. Jinxy also brings up a good point on him

fart proposes that it could be a newbie error... But even if that's so, he could still be mafia and it would still count as a noob error: his vote made himself suspicious without him realizing it. Also,

I don't want to pick on Royston just because he's new, but he literally used this as a free escape from his error.

As for Kanye, his posts tell me that he's experienced enough to be able to play this game proficiently, yet he's not doing it for some sort of other reason. I don't know if we can just call him scum for just not posting, though I also don't know if he's actually just like this. (i was about to write stuff here about how it might be ok actually and not matter to him if he gets lynched but....)
Welcome DakeDekaane~ I hope we can all have fun while there are three votes piled on top of you.

One last thing, I noticed that after the case on BRBP was settled, he almost completely stopped posting. As of this post, he hasn't said anything for nearly 2 days...

......
Oh my god, dammit this post is so long already. Just.... Basically, those are the people who I feel like mentioning most at the moment. I'll look at everyone else probably tomorrow, since this post is so freaking long already and it's getting late too. I doubt I'll have that much to say though. I also get the feeling that I've made numerous errors in this post but you'll just have to bear with me ._.
