People? Alright.

Pretty sure by now that Kai is town.

What I do have are possible links between players.

Namely:
Gambit and Lutris
Klackerz and Moridin.

Personally I have no concrete evidence for either.

For scumtell, I will throw out a name which may surprise some. thebrute7.

As before, not a very convincing argument here. But in posts #82 and #89, the feel of that post came off to me as a scum!filler type of post. It's the kind where you're being obvious/beneficial-to-scum but it sounds as though you're not and you're actually contributing.

Which was what I aimed for in Warlock Hunt. To sway opinions and appear town. (didn't work out well in the end, though.)

I'm suspicious of Jwlk, though not to a large extent. I'm willing to hold on that, at least for now.

So lynch thebrute7

 

btw you might be interested in reading this (assuming you haven't already)

 

Interesting read, Kai, I've personally never seen it presented that way before. Thank you for the link.

 

I guess the real question comes down to do we really have solid proof to lynch someone? Or are we just voting someone for a free random kill. After reading up on everything it seems like everyone's just pointing fingers to people who have had suspicions in the past and those who have made posts that minimally indicate somewhat scum talk. At the end of the day though everyone will saying something that sounds like scum, I don't think that's a good basis for throwing someone under the bus. We still have time before this 1st day ends and very few votes out now on who to lynch, so it seems that there is the possibility of nobody being lynched unless everyone does a last minute bandwagon on a random person.

 

Welcome to Mafia.

I'm not a fan of no lynches simply because there's a possibility of scum!judge. Putting that aside though, we have a mega long day that will help us form opinions and get better reads on people. That can only be a good thing.

Geabe derped with the explanation bit but that's forgivable. What really made me look twice at him was his willingness to throw thebrute7 under the bus. Personally, I found that post a little filler-ish too but nothing too scummy came off of it. Seems to me like Geabe tried to focus attention on Thebrute7 because he's a semi lurker who hasn't posted much so far and might not be around to defend himself as much as another member.

Deadline lynch: Geabe

 

Small scumtells lead to more realized tells, but only if they are pressured by votes.

Hm, Lungs, tell me why I phrased the previous sentence the way I did.

In this game, the mechanics will not reward passive play. This may be a shocking departure for many here who are used to games like HoT2 where almost all of the heavy lifting was done by the game mechanics, rather than the people actually playing the game.

Hey Geabe, I have a problem with your post.

Elaborate on these 'links'. What are they telling you?

 

Gambit and Lutris: This one's not helped by Gambit's tendency to make mistakes, even as town. Still, the link here suggests that the two may be connected in some fashion. Gambit, by his starting whiteknighting post, could be another whim, admittedly, but it does suggest Lutris' alignment is known if it wasn't just any whim.

Klackerz and Moridin: I found Moridin's defense of Klackerz a little...too outspoken, shall we say? Couple that with Klackerz continuation of Court campaigning back then, and it just ticks off my radar.

In my opinion I'm more concerned about the latter than the former.

Gambit's insistence of being town strikes my radar too. I'm not sure whether to file that under the File of Many Derps.

 

Does anyone know what's up with Platypus_Assassin? It's been almost three days and he's a no show, although his profile says he was on DLP an hour ago. Also what's the status with a replacement for Republic21?

So far there's no one who is really jumping out to me as scum, but I am quite suspicious of Gambit. He's made quite a few posts but none of them have had any real substance to them, they all basically amount to "please don't kill me". He's done nothing yet to convince me that he's town, and what he has said has been very eccentric, so:

Lynch Vote Gambit

 

This seems true on the surface, but remember that there are two groups of scum... if you want to put one of the teams in a certain state of mind regarding methods of play, general mechanics advice is a subtle way to give them a hint of what you're doing.

Just because the thread is there for everyone to see doesn't mean they're talking to everybody.


Anyway, since it seems people refuse to believe me about Lungs right now, I'll leave off... but I'm watching you!

Sure is. How do you think the court should go about deciding who to kill the first night? What kind of player, what bits of information to focus on?

Based on some hypothetical person being lynched.

 

So my discussing of a rather important game mechanic, and the possible effects of it on the town if certain roles are in the court makes me come across as scum because... it's a bit fillerish? Because all I did was discuss the mechanic?

I don't follow your logic there.

 

I'm gonna need a replacement, shit is rough atm

 

Ok, what the hell is going on, why is no one posting. There are 12 people who haven't posted in the last 24 hours. I get that people have rl things going on, but come on, do we really need to start looking at lynch voting lurkers just to get them to post? The first day is probably the most important in the entire game. Have we all just stopped campaigning for the court, and we still need a lynch for the day.

We only have about a day and a half left, and we're not much further than when we started. So come on people, who do you find suspicious? Who do you want to ask questions?

---------- Post automerged at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

And now we need two replacements, possibly three, if Platypus_Assassin doesn't show up. Who is it that chooses the replacements in this game?

 

Well there's always a drop in the middle of the day, if no intense discussion is going on people tend to lose interest until about 12 hours before the deadline (from personal experience anyway).

The need for replacements is a concern though.

Chocolate do we have an alternative list?

And would anyone be adverse to pausing the deadline till the mod gets this figured out? Being three players down on the first day isn't acceptable.

 

Inclined to agree with thebrute here. I just read the posts that Gaebe referred to and they didn't seem particularly fillerish - just a bit long-winded in discussing the mechanics (and only the first one, at that). Not unlike what Gaebe is known for. And I feel that it was an important thing to discuss, both the probability of getting a witch on the Court (which is pretty high), and the consideration the King has to take with regards to picking anyone he thinks might be the Priest/Bishop/etc.

The combination of condemning a discussion method that he himself uses and dismissing what I see as useful information as filler is the closest thing to a scumtell I've seen yet.

Deadline Vote: Gaebe

No problems with it here, though as I said earlier, we'll have to speed things up once we get everyone replaced or I run the risk of running out of time before I have to be in the field for several weeks. It won't be a problem even with 48-hour days, but 108 hour days like we have going now would put us in May on day 5 or so.

 

Who knows what goes through you hea

Okay, so I don't know what you mean by phrased the sentence the way you did, but I imagine that it has something to do with the fact that you referred to scum as "they", an obvious towntell?

I mean, at first, I thought it came from one of the mafia guides we have floating around, but I Ctrl+F'd and nothing. >_>

 

The idea of a connection between me and Lutris is silly, which is obvious, and Bill, I actually had at least one thing of substance to say, but you seem to have missed it, that's ok since I think you're a witch.

I'm a really fucking easy target for witches to build a bandwagon on, but then townies also suspect me. I'm part of the town, and I'm only saying "please don't kill me" so much because I hate dying in the early days of mafia, or at all.

 

Disappoint lungs ._.

When you pressure someone over a slight slip, the reaction of a townie vs that of a witch are often different, so even though you start with a scumread, it could develop into a townread depending on how the person reacts to pressure.

 

Oh, that should be Geabe, not Gaebe. Sorry dude.

 

I just reread this one and

'a link suggests they may be linked in some way'.

OH MY GOD lynch geabe harder

 

Ok, now that's just stupid and you know it.
