    Yeah. I was at work all weekend and didn't have computer access. Didn't have a chance to shoot anyone.

    Info: I got one gold this Morning, probably from Rubicon. Anyone else got gold?

    Titus, are you sure that your message came from ika? (that ika had the ability to send messages?) Because his flip says "Goon". If not, roleblocker is less likely, because:

    Scum!abilities:
    Mafia Wiretrapper
    +Jailed Mafia Goon
    +sending messages
    +daykill(probably)

    what I mean is, that a Roleblocker who can also send messages or a Roleblocker who can also daykill seems overpowered.

    I am not 100%. It definitely came from scum who was aware of the jailchat. It does sound likeika. It just told me about the jail referring to Citrus and Zennith in the third person.

    Titus you said you have to reset and yet continue with the same plan to lynch me.

    If we're really gonna go that route everyone might as well lynch me now and get the day over with already.

    Idiot.

    Also, you're the only one who's made the comment of Obscum

    As for Citrus, what the hell do you mean to balance it out. If you mean to keep from an early lynch, not voting is much safer.

    Balancing the wagons gets reads based on who people choose.

    Riley, there's no way my reset will generate you as town. You have slipped multiple times IMO. I cannot reset that.

    Also, calling me an idiot is woefully ineffective Riley.

    Would anyone have a problem if I asked my irl sister (who doesn't live with me) to subin for Custer?

    Whatever Titus.

    I'm still gonna call you an idiot. Especially considering you've already been told by people other than me that this is not my scum game.

    How about this. You point exactly where I slipped and why it means I'm "obvscum" to you and maybe the others will believe you. I doubt it, but let's see what you can come up with.

    I am planning to Riley. Normally, I would do that with my vote. Yet, Citrus agrees with me, so we are going to put up both cases at once. It streamlines the thread and makes defense easier if you are town.

    Also, please answer my replace question Riley. I won't bother calling her if peopl have problems with her playing.

    Yes.
    If possible, I'd just have Prophy modkill him. By all rights, Custer shouldn't have made it through the Night anyway.

    ...?
    This was on Friday. I'm trying not to question it, RL and all, but are you saying that you were sleeping or at work all of Saturday through Sunday, after claiming you were only going to be gone a day on Friday? They sprung that up on you at the last minute?

    Honestly, I'd have an easier time believing you if you had said you were blocked.

    But fine, maybe I'm biased by how annoyed I am at you at the moment. If anyone else finds these to be strange, disjointed claims, speak up. Otherwise, I'll drop them.

    --

    Let's talk about the Watch really quickly. If you bought it, and you used it on someone last Night, there's no need to hide it since it's a no longer of use. So, if you found anything relevant, now is the time to share.

    For the record, nothing against her, Titus. I'd love to have the Mafia group grow, but maybe not in this game?

    Sloth, let me be frank. I was meaning replacing due to ethics issues. I will still be searching for a Custer replacement, whether it is Mathblade or not.

    The luckylee claim is off but if ge is lying, I will blacklist him as I feel lying about irl violates the spirit of the game.

    ok
    My analysis of you took so long because I was a) a day without PC access, b) scrapped it twice

    a) neither of your "..." are positions and I have trouble even constructing the strawman fallacy you accuse me of.
    b) you probably shouldn't borrow terminology from the non-native speaker. My "strawmanning" was probably simply the wrong phrase.

    I was apologetic...I apologized explicitly to you because ignoring your questions is dickish no matter what I think about your alignment. If that (plus not changing my position) constitutes as backtracking for you, meh.

    Obviously fontisian can be wrong, and this argument about it is stupid.

    Let's agree that this causality:

    “I’m not sure what to think of Sloth/I think Sloth has to be Town, but Fonti is raging at us probably, so I’m unsure.”

    is stupid.
    My point was that that wasn't really what we said and therefore you are misrepresenting/doubt-casting us by framing our sentiments/arguments in a way that makes them look dumber. That is scummy.



    re: Luckylee:
    Luckylee claimed a RL excuse => therefore I believe him.
    The end
    ...
    That doesn't change that not shooting was anti-town, whether intended or not.



    re: Titus sister ("insert tasteless joke here")
    I have no problem with her replacing in.


    re:watch
    If the person who bought the watch did not get any useful result, the person shouldn't claim it.
    It's rolefishing.

    Double Unvote

    Something's not settling me right. It'll probably be resolved in a jiffy but I want to unvote in the meantime.

    @Blab, how is it rolefishing if the role is oneshot?

    ‘Shot between the eyes’ still seems like Mafia terminology, so if there’s a third party, I’d say ‘disappeared’ fits them more.
    What we can also have is a mafia Assassin/Hitman role, a perfect kill that bypasses protections. I doubt they’d waste that on Possum, so if true, it’d likely be what got Rubicon and Fonti.
    …I was sure it was ika, it was almost exactly what happened in Avatar: Fonti baited him and he was trigger-happy.
    There might be a DK toDay too then – although I want to think that if they can have multiple shots of it, it can only be used once in the same Night-Day cycle. There needs to be some sort of balance here.
    I’m not even going to bother with the possibility that all mafias can do it because if so, I don’t see how we can win.

    --

    @Maiden
    Welcome to Mafia.
    Things like “So what do you want me to say or do to prove to you that I am town and that I am genuinely trying at this damn game?” Because they don’t exactly present and argument, simply the idea that I should accept what you’re saying based on the fact that it upsets you otherwise.
    The throwaway comment is just that—my interview focused on Rubicon as a third party. As for the rest, I spoke of what a Citrus lynch might mean and gave a small paragraph about your possible actions. The fact that you got annoyed over something so small makes me suspicious.

    …I have no freakin’ idea, and it’s annoying the hell out of me.


    Quick brainstorm:

    Rubicon was a strong scumhunter, no matter what I may have thought of his alliances, so it’s obvious why Scum would want to be rid of him…but I thought for sure there were so many more appealing targets.

    Zennith, the jailkeeper who could protect the pseudo-townfirmed two-voter any Night. We were all expecting him to go.
    Luckylee, the self-proclaimed vigilante with 2 shots. He was another obvious threat and target, especially if he got the chance to townfirm himself. The idea that maybe they tried to frame him no longer works when he himself claims he didn’t freakin’ take any shots.
    Even Citrus, reasonably townfirmed himself by PoE after ika flipped scum. It’s a lot easier to turn people against Rubi than it would be against Citrus, plus in killing him last Night, a lot of doubt would be shed on Zennith and Titus.

    Any of these would have been a better target than Rubicon, unless one of them were scum. My guess on that is Lucky, but my paranoia would also have me looking at Citrus, just in case.

    There’s also the chance scum assumed they’d be protected, I suppose. Didn’t want to take a 1 in 3 (1 in 2?) chance. Or maybe they did with their NK, and it failed.

    And on Rubi, we’re back to the Assassination possibility. …Argh. We have nothing concrete pointing in any specific direction.

    Let’s look at it in a different way. What did Rubicon did to ear himself an NK or a Soup, over the other 3.

    His last, long wall, summarized:
    The reason he was killed over the others is likely here, and logically, it would only be in the Changes he’s made on his view.
    There’s been two.

    First on Moridin, he went from seeing him as Townish, to Scum. Going by Citrus’ idea that this was a fearkill, that’d mean Moridin is responsible, obviously.
    I don’t know if that makes sense, however.
    Moridin is an experienced player, he had to have known doing this would turn eyes to him. Not to mention he was one of the 3 (Irdium, Custer, Moridin) set to be killed off in the Night, unless he had a way of knowing that he’d be protected, or Lee blocked, or that Lee wouldn’t shoot pull the fuckin’ trigger (no, I’m not willing to let that go just now, sorry). Assuming he knew none of this, he had no reason to expect being around come Daybreak, and no reason to fearkill. Maybe he wanted to take him down with him.
    Or maybe he knew that we knew that it’d be too obvious a move, but screw that, it’s Monday and I’m not doing that level of WIFOM just yet. You’re all welcome to speculate.

    The other reason why someone would go for Rubicon is because they got what they wanted from him, and then we turn to Blab.
    If you’re Scum, and one of the strongest players in Town declares publicly that he was wrong about you and that you’re Town, this is likely the best time you’re going to get to NK him: With him singing your praises.
    You kill him now, you let the rest do what they will, before he has a chance to change his mind.
    I don’t know that this happened, but personally I find it more likely than Moridin. Feel free to disagree.

    What I want now is cases on Blab, and cases on Moridin. I believe our Scum is between those two, and I want to know what you see in them.

    I can always be reliable expected to think of the most twisted, complicated way any action seems scummish. God, I'd die so quickly in the SoIaF universe.

    It is, because:

    Hey, I have this super duper powerrole, and need all the gold I get. Am I going to buy the watch?
    Hey, I am vanilla, I have three gold. Hmm, maybe I should buy a watch.

    Sloth, I know I'm going back and forth but if disappeared is third party, why would ika cover up for a third party? Perhaps scum knew there was a third party all along and selected the most obvious town target as the "third party"?

    When Custer turns out to be the main consensus, the scumteam then decides to roleblock him?

    Lucky, figuring that he's either a) going to be a roleblock or b) a PR that lied to get massive reads from scum and he's a doctor.

    Also, let's suppose for a moment that Zennith is the obv kill. Wouldn't Zennith also be the obv heal? If scum have a lot of OP PRs then, it makes sense we'd have a doctor. The doctor heals Zennith, eliminating the scum kill.

    Then all we have left is the third party, who scum knew existed from the start.

    Sloth, I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible, fuck off. Friday I wasn't aware that I'd have to spend the weekend at my bosses, so I thought I could check in that night. What you're implying annoys me a lot. Throw a lynch vote if you think I'm scum, don't doubt cast/imply it.

    Also as to everyone lurking, stop? If you're town and get lynched for lurking, it's the worst for us. So… yeah. Moridin, Custer. Reads and Why, kthx.
