    LOL I didn't think you were looking for a straight answer. Next time, just ask me to explain it, rather than LUNGS WILL KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS. D:

    So what you're saying is... you do have a brick for a brain.

    From what I have seen of Mafia, it is possible to twist almost anything anyone says into being. 'scummy.' It is easier to judge by actions, but we have not had tons of those yet... Though the people who voted to lynch presumably did not vote on fellow scum at least.

    So it is hard to campaign for a council spot when just asking for one might get too much suspicion.

    So I am just going to say again that I would be happy to take one to keep it out of scum hands, but if there are better candidates then... Get em! We have had some great players speak up.

    Either you were being serious and actually using what was probably just a poorly proofread sentence as a reason to lynch or you were trying to be sarcastic for some unfathomable reason. Either way, it was pretty stupid.

    Err... to clarify, I do think Klackerz is quite likely scum. That or a bit too overeager for my comfort. Not sure how or where I defended him...

    I actually just browsed through your posts and I honestly have no idea what he is talking about :/

    Geabe: could you link us to whatever post you referencing?

    Judge can be scum. We don't want a day one no-lynch. That'd be bad.

    I'm perfectly okay with Klackerz being dead dead dead.

    I'm not getting 'that' strong of a scum vibe from Geabe, in all honesty, I think we're probably barking up wrong tree, and one of the people pushing us at him is scum.

    Check Geabe tonight, Priest. Don't reveal like a retard based on only one guilty check, though. Not in a game this large - have at least two.

    Or we can lynch Geabe if I'm just exhuasted and not really seeing it, whatever.

    Point is, scum!judge kill is a bad thing, it guarantees an active, strong town dead.

    Based on what I've seen so far this thread, in regards to Kai's questions:
    Kaidash is coming off as town to me, mainly based on how he's played as town in other games, and even without meta, he has been acting very townish.
    I would have Gaebe killed, based on how he's been acting so far this game.
    I would have Castiel checked, he hasn't been posting much which is very different for him, and once again, he hasn't given any reasoning behind his answers to Kai's questions.
    I would have either Lungs, Eid or Kai protected based on how they've been playing so far and because I know that they're all strong town players, and as such big targets for scum, although I would also have them checked later on, simply because having them as scum would be kinda bad.

    The numbers are mine. First off, I don't know how many mafia games you have played, but here is a pro-tip: NEVER give scum advice/tactics/anything that can possibly be helpful that isn't on the role card. Because that is being the most anti-town of anti-town.

    1) That is why YOU are here. You are here to think about what is going on, and think of all the threats, but all of that is counter-productive if you post it. Keep your information for when it actually happens, AND THEN inform us.

    2) Scum might not have even THOUGHT of these actions if it weren't for you. Its possible they could have, but then again... its possible they DIDN"T. Since that is a possibility, you pointing it out is DIRECTLY helping them out. No matter which way you look at it. It just doesn't help town.

    3) What's apparent to you is not always apparent to others. Even if they knew everything in your post but say one thing, that one thing could help them win the game.

    4) All the more reason not to bring them up. If scum want to use them, let them think of it themselves.

    What I get from your post is that you're somehow trying to defend giving scum information that is not readily available. This is not right.

    Someone else asked, why would he do this if he's scum? Well, its true if he's coven it doesn't make much sense. I'm thinking Junior Witch Geabe. Convince me i'm wrong, or pick someone else to get lynched with convincing arguments and points, etc.

    So what do we have? 3 people dropping out and 1 who hasn't posted yet. At this point we still have about a full 24h left to the day, so if the replacement players get their roles in timely fashion then we might not need an extension, but if that can't be done I am open for an extension so that everybody gets to know their role and really get into it.

    I seem to remember that in past games there have been extensions when 1 player was replaced, but in this case it's 3, possibly 4, so if it can even be done in Mascone, it would be good.

    we're not lynching, or even thinking about lynching the mia or replacing guys, so I'm fine with day ending at the expected time and extending night until replacements are found in order to keep the game progressing.

    Lynch Vote: Geabe

    I think whoever said something about the judge has a very good point, I'd rather see a lynch get going on a possible Junior Witch than have a scum judge kill me because I was ambiguous enough to make them look town.

    I was expecting someone to notice this for a while now. Yes, I am posting less compared to how much I posted in earlier games, and that is because I was on my PC 24x7 in those days. Now I have other things to focus on but I check the game twice or thrice everyday and post whenever it is required.

    Since we have one week long days I don't see it being a problem. But I will try to be more active if you want.

    But regardless, go ahead and check me, I just wanted to clarify this.

    I would like to point out something I find interesting:

    Sirion, post #27:

    And post #85:

    Now, after only these two posts, KaiDASH (post #103) says he has a town-read on him, Moridin (#105) and Klackerz (#111 and 125) say they would put him in the court and jwlk mentions him as his protection-target in a hypotetical scenario (#154), although he says he would want to read more of him.

    I honestly can't see the town-read (from the half-assed vote on Lungs? :confused:), but I could get behind picking him for the court for metagaming reasons (can't remember if Klackerz has ever played with him, but jwlk and Moridin have).

    So, people involved, care to explain why you all reacted like you did to his two posts?

    I think the problem here is maybe you only have 3 modes (SCUM | NULL | TOWN) and you expect when someone says 'townread' they mean 'I think this person is the towniest town', when in reality there's a sliding scale of scummyness to townyness and a 'town' read 24 hours into day one is basically 'i think this guy is more likely to be town than a randomly selected player'.

    So to answer your question, i looked at his post, felt vaguely happy about it and decided to run with that happy feeling.

    I'll admit it was mostly metagaming reasons that made me pick him. In another game, he's been levelheaded, thoughtful and generally a strong player who is also quiet enough that he wouldn't be a huge target. I generally try to answer these kinds of questions by keeping in mind that whatever I do, scum are most likely to sneak in anyway, so I prefer to have a number of thoughtful, insightful players on court who could provide good reads on each other as well as the general memberlist, and Sirion has given me that impression thus far.

    Well when I posted that, it was early in the game. Most of the players seemed scummy and sirion was the one of the only player who read like a town to me at that instant.

    Most definitely, because I honestly have 0 super town reads at the moment; the town Superfriends are generally unreadable at this point (Kai, etc) or lurking (fucking Fen D8).

    So yeah, I'm like, counting scum/towntells. It's not the best use of my time/analysis etc, but like, it's better than anything else we can do at the moment, imo.

    Tbh, one of my biggest townreads is probably Geabe, because honestly, unless superincompentent coven or juniorwitch, there's no reason why he'd infodump scumstrat into the thread >_>

    What worries me is that I don't see any of the towntells that I normally look for in his posts, which is terrible, because even scum should have a list of towntells depending on rolestuff, but I'm not going to talk about rolestuff in thread. Ever. I might think about it if it looks like we have ClearCourt, assuming I even get on D:

    All said and done, Vote Geabe because those posts look doctor'd, albeit badly done so. >_>

    ---------- Post automerged at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

    LOL

    >biggest townread
    >votes

    To be more clear, the biggest townread on a casual glance turned into a huge scumread.

    ^ Pointless stuff is pointless.

    This was more what I was looking for.

    As for Moridin's metagaming reasons, I completely agree with him. Sirion is a very good player and I wouldn't mind picking him for my court if I was King and he was town. I was just surprised by all the "approval" after his two posts, which, frankly, were just too empty to warrant it, IMO.
