[WingCmdr Ginkapo]

Lynching Epi now risks taking out a PR (albeit not necesarilly a town one), but it will also narrow down the scum's NK's to a smaller top list. I don't feel that is a good deal.

Epi will not be on the scum nightkill list if he is not lynched today, if he is town then he is too easy a mislynch D2 to be wasted on a nightkill.

That argument has a hint of WIFOM to it... and I'm not sure if it even holds up with 2 mafia factions and a SK on the loose.

Your argument is WIFOM too.

[Streaker]

Ok wing, why do you consider an Epi lynch better then a PTlowe lynch?

[WingCmdr Ginkapo]

Ok wing, why do you consider an Epi lynch better then a PTlowe lynch?

Epi is more likely to be scum than pt

That should be the only consideration.

[Streaker]

Ok wing, why do you consider an Epi lynch better then a PTlowe lynch?

Epi is more likely to be scum than pt

That should be the only consideration.

I consider PT scummier then Epi, but my vote is being wasted where it is with only about 24 h left.
It's bandwagoning from me, but I did state I would support an Epi lynch way earlier then this, and I never liked the way Epi has been pushing AoG.

Unvote, vote Epi

[TimWoodbury]

i think that pt or epi will be the best shot of a lynch before the deadline, but before i can go put my vote on either of them im gonna have to go through and re read it all tomarrow.

So you think pt or epi are the best shot, but you will still have to re-read it all? If you need to re-read, why do you think pt or epi are the best options?

they are the best shot of a lynch today yes i wanna reread to see witch one i wanna throw my vote on as its been said before chances d1 lynch is a mislynch is high bt we can only hope that its not. i wanna reread as well as i was focusing a large portion of the dy tryg to get more out of virus but he was replaced while i was away so gotta recheck what people sad of epi and pt

I sure hope Wing is right. lol.

Also, glad to see Mets admit that I might be town after all. Thanks, Mets. For a while there I thought you were 100% certain that I am scum.

Unvote, vote Epi

This vote is very weak. ptolwe and me both had 5 votes on us at the time Streaker changed over to me and he considers pt to be scummier.

That also makes me officially at L-2 if I'm lucky.

I'm the watcher.

I'm not going to sit here and try to tell you guys that I'm not scummy because that's rather self-defeating at this point. It would be like someone saying "I'm so humble". . . it just doesn't work.

So before anyone votes for me anymore (in case the double voter is on me), I'd like to give some final reads in case I day now or overnight. I'll even include some quotes so that Mets knows that I have some reasoning behind my thinking. Afterall, that's the big case against me. I thought AoG was scum and didn't give my full reasoning.

This is going to have to come in parts b/c of time.

[Army of GOD]

I find it interesting that Epi and ptlowe aren't considering each other as scum, even though consensus at this point is that they're both the most scummy.

If one flips red, I think the other is more than likely red

[Epitaph1]

Mitch - leaning scum.

mitch gets a lot of leeway because he's a newer player and I have no issue with that. Claiming without pressure was not good, but it didn't make me think he was scum right off the bat-- I thought that he was just trying to prove he was a town player, which happens sometimes. He was asking people about their reads earlier on and pushed Tim a little bit, which seems towny.

However, this quote really changed my mind on him:

does mafia A and mafia B know each other? can they talk all together at night or just in their group ? will this information make it easier to find them? my scum radar is a screwed up now with Pixar joining us. still think Tim is scum but also wondering about some of pixars remarks, also Pt is playing scummy.shit I don't know!! day 1 is a pain

I know mitch is newer, but he's not that new. Part of it is because he acted like he didn't know that 2 mafias would operate independently, but also he acted like he didn't know what to do because 1 inactive player was replaced. It struck me as feigned ignorance and reminded me of his play in HP mafia when he used comments like this to avoid any pressure throughout the game.

He reacted pretty strongly when people pressed him on this and eventually OMGUS'd me when I voted for him (and it was a bandwagon), which doesn't help him imo. He did that in HP mafia too.

HERE we go again, I am playing different must be scum,have not posted much because of family illness, was not all together sure of mafia A and B ability to talk to each other or not ,sorry I asked,Dakky voting for me is doing what Tim wanted get rid off the bottom players we are not worth anything,also Tim saying I should of known what mafia a and b are able to do is bullshit,i only been in about seven games and I am still learning and fucking up but Tim been in three games and states he knows a and b abilities how? UNLESS YOU ARE ONE ,okay okay maybe I am still mad that he hammered me last game but for now I still think he is scummy when I get my brain strait I will reread everthing and try to make a better judgement ,but for now my vote sticks

The only other read he's given is that he's leaning scum on benga, but that was only after I prompted him.

Mitch, who are you willing to lynch right now.

Me and who else?

Still you but benga's push for night has me wondering about him and why the big rush .unless he has gifts or works better at night .possible scum there

His contributions really dropped off after people busted his chops on the whole Mafia A and B question.

So, if I had to guess, I'd say mitch is scum. But he could have just made a number of rookie mistakes today.


The other people I'm going to review are Wing, Hotshot, and. . . .AoG. It's possible my opinion of them might change after reviewing their posts as a whole, but I'll let you know when I do it. If I have more time, I'd really like to revisit Streaker after that last vote. He even admits he thinks ptolwe is scummier and his vote is bandwagon. . . wtf.

In case I don't get everything put on the record, I'm leaning town on ptolwe, Tim, and even Mets if you can believe it. In short, Mets spent a lot of time not only going after me and attached himself to AoG, whether he likes it or not. He's backtracking on the AoG defense now, but he's vouched for AoG and the whole reason he went after me is because he didn't think I had a case on AoG. I just don't see him putting his neck out on a hard read and going so far out of his way to discredit my opinion of AoG like that if he's scum/trying to avoid scrutiny.

I feel the need to vouch for AOG. As he says, this playstyle really isn't unusual for him. He strikes me as much more town-aligned this game than he has in other games, if anything.

What I know from these two things above; when I see a change in play, even if it from a player that normally appears scummy becoming less so, it trips a red flag in my mind.
However; mets' vouch has resonated with a few players, so we will probably have to let this lie for now.

I of course have considered the same angle, and I'm not giving AOG a hard town read.

--Mets gives his dissertation on me not having a case on AoG.--

This is just bad reasoning. My arguments have completely not been a defense of AoG; they are an attack on Epi. I am not saying now, and have never said, that I read AoG as town. I'm pretty neutral on that right now. All I've said is that Epi doesn't have strong reasoning for thinking AoG is not town.

fp'd

I call 'em as I see 'em.

[TimWoodbury]

im gonna go a vote pt im not wanting to be the hamer and have to throw a vote on 1 of pt or epi its hard for me to choose either one and the ONLY reason im puttig a vote is because its wrse for town to no lynch then it is to lynch a townie on a mislynch. im hopeing tat in d2 we can get more info out of people

[madmitch]

@ Epic

[Endgame422]

Streaker your vote there makes zero sense.
PT and epi have the same number of votes discounting your vote.
Either you arent paying attention or your trying to make an excuse to bump the watcher.

[Endgame422]

Actually you didnt know he was the watcher yet excuse me,but you still knew he was a high drafted player.

[Epitaph1]

Actually you didnt know he was the watcher yet excuse me,but you still knew he was a high drafted player.

I had already said that I got the role I asked for in the draft. He knew I was something good. Unfortunately, it's probably too late in the day to do anything about it.

HotShot - leaning scum

Nutshell: we've had 11 days so far, and HS has given us 2 reads/votes. 1 of which is on me based on Mets long post. Doesn't take many positions and when he does, he's piggybacking other players.

He begins by voting for benga then unvotes saying it was a joke. It sure sounded serious when he first said it, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

show

He pops in every couple of days after explaining his jokevote to make a couple of comments. He does give his first real read and vote last Wednesday, which is almost a full week into the game:

show

And I agree with this assessment of wing, and not just because HS suggests that I'm not scum. This the third vote on Wing at the time. He never addresses wing again, nor gives any other reads, town or scum. His closest town read is that he doesn't find AoG "scummy by default."

show

Sorry, that probably came out not quite how I intended... I meant that everyone often thinks you are scum whether or not you are just because of your style of posting, but this game you do not sound scummy by default to me.

[ptlowe]

im gonna go a vote pt im not wanting to be the hamer and have to throw a vote on 1 of pt or epi its hard for me to choose either one and the ONLY reason im puttig a vote is because its wrse for town to no lynch then it is to lynch a townie on a mislynch. im hopeing tat in d2 we can get more info out of people

Can someone spell it out for me why its worse for town on a mislynch than a no lynch?

[WingCmdr Ginkapo]

He structures this vote much as the same way as Wing. Follows other players' leads and votes and says just enough for it not to come across as a bandwagon.

Did you mean to insinuate that I have been bandwagoning? You'll find that I have started most of my cases whereas Hotshot has joined the majority vote everytime, and why I agree that he is scum.

Ptlowe -If we lynch Epi and he flips town, then we know that these posts he is currently making are not biased. We also can look at the players votes in light of Epi's alignment being known. If we do not lynch then we start D2 in the same position, albeit with less town players. Admittedly as AoG has tried but failed to eloquent, multiple players will die tonight and give us a lot to work with.

*Note: Substitute Epi for any other player.

So I get this straight. Lets say for example. A town player is lynched today. Then we have 3 people killed in the night and they are all town. That leaves us with 4 town down and 5 enemies left. So we have a 6 V 5 on day to. Pretty much game over right?

[Metsfanmax]

If Hotshot is really scum and we catch him for such a pedestrian reason as straight up bandwagoning, I'm going to be sorely disappointed in his play.

No, because scum need to kill each other to win as well.

Serial killer only wins if hes last man standing?

[Endgame422]

PT your scenario is possible but i find it unlikely.
And even if its 6 town vs 5 scum,the scum are different alignments so they cant work together,only 1 faction can win here.
Town doesnt really lose until only a single townie remains,and with the varieties of NAs not even necessarily then. Potentially a single town player could win this.
Scum will start hunting each other if town gets weak. Its kinda like 3 player risk games with no spoils.

[Endgame422]

And yes SK must be last man standing

more or less what wing said, SK from what i understand wins by being last man standing (i could be wrong on that he may have some odd win condition where he can win with mafia and or town not a clue on that one.


when we start to get down to say 3-4 town players and 4-5 skum/SK then thats where it realy gets into whos said what/done what thoughout the game and with there being more townies the skum will HAVE to work together in each team and will hypothetically be eaisear to spot the skum to take them out if that makes since

[ptlowe]

Mod question for you. Lets say last two standing are bomb and SK. Who wins if the SK targets the Bomb during a night action?

I think you're misunderstanding what Tim is saying. He's saying a no lynch is worse than a mislynch (I agree in this game)
