If I were to base scuminess from what happened yesterday, i'd look at the people that didn't put any effort in. The "sheeple" that basically said "yeah obviously nothing else could've happened so no need to discuss anything else," which is a vibe I got the strongest from Nag. Ragian's willingness to jump on Nag makes me doubt myself a little but again, could all be mindgames. The other large point that stood out was when Fircoal claimed me pointing out Nag's scumminess so late in the day was scummy. It especially stood out since Skoffin had done the same thing earlier in the day and fircoal more or less ignored it. I'll agree it should've been done sooner so that it could've been investigated more thoroughly, but making a new case is hardly scummy if it has some basis.

To be fair, your role is also pretty weird solegionnare wrote:As much as this is all going round in circles I can't quite get it out of my head that there being a role that changes actions is too convenient and that DDS is actually a scum roleblocker/jailer.

I'm sorry for skimming past this and a late reply as to why I had said it now rather than later but...Samlen wrote:ok so now i have a hot potato waffle that might explode today. Or it might explode to whomever I pass it on to tonight or it might explode in 5 days. Things are getting all the more interesting! I'd have preferred hearing if legion came out with being roleblocked last night before you claimed it, dds, since if he hadn't then it could've been more cause for suspicion. But now legion can only confirm it and we won't get much more info than that.
This is still the strangest piece of evidence to me that has been presented.dakky21 wrote: I targeted you and got the result that Nag visited Samlen... paraphrasing to avoid a quote is similar.

I wasn't saying it was pro-town, I was saying it's possible that it's neither town or scum, but third party survivor role turning actions into roleblocking to stay alive longer. On the other hand, as legion pointed out, DDS action turning into a roleblock WAS convenient and we could be chasing an imaginary role while dds the mafia roleblocker hides and laughs.Fircoal wrote:One is a big assumption the other is not.Samlen wrote:That's assuming the role that targeted dds is a mafia role AND that one of the other roles isn't a jailer/roleblocking role, both rather large assumptions in a game where anything can happen.
Does what that role do sound pro-town to you? Furthermore if it was pro-town it's easy to get that information from the person who had it if they felt it was important or necessary. So until I get info I'm going to assume it's a scum role.
It could be argued that you revealed it to seem more townlike. But debating this much more could turn into a pointless wifom loop so I'm not going to bother.DirtyDishSoap wrote:For the 3rd time, I wouldn't have mentioned it if I was scum. No point in putting an already large target on my back for 3 days in a row for a town lynch.
I've provided what had happened, what my action was, and that's it.
Wasn't just calling you a sheeple =p A couple of players like mets and dakky also put in little effort (and should be considered suspicious as well) and just assumed legion was right without considering other options. I called you out because I usually see you do a lot more than just follow the leader so you doing so felt the most off.nagerous wrote:Skoffin, samlen is not as innocent as the cute innocent avatar suggests.

If he is not scum then ragian played him like an absolute kipper. it is his ambiguity and reluctance to provide any assistance through information that I find questionable at this moment and also his highly weak sauce accusation against me which I will naturally judge as you can imagine
Legion was right, and at the time he originally posted his information, we didn't have any other options. I don't know how you can see the D2 results and conclude that any of us ended up being wrong for "following the leader."Samlen wrote:Wasn't just calling you a sheeple =p A couple of players like mets and dakky also put in little effort (and should be considered suspicious as well) and just assumed legion was right without considering other options.

Of course. I said multiple times that legion should not be super confident that he was right (at least, before the new information came to light). I also do not think I can be accused of blindly and passively following him. I was one of his most vocal critics.Samlen wrote:Because before legion clarified what his role did at the end of the day there were a ton of variables. Even knowing legion was town so many things could've happened to have caused the same result and we have to at least consider more than just one scenario.

You're the one that apparently needs to "read the fucking day again." The mod changed it to a three-vote minimum for lynch. That happened on March 4, the day before you got back from your hiatus of posting a few days. And he posted it multiple times on D2, at the same time that you were making noise about how we were headed for a no-lynch (which made no sense because Ragian already had three votes on him, so there was going to be a lynch). There is no way you could have missed him posting about it, which leads me to believe that you were being slightly scummy for continuing to make this kind of noise. That, or just ignorant. Either way, doesn't look good for you trying to play town leader here.nagerous wrote: 1) There was a deadline! It was either that or no lynch. Read the fucking day again seriously... I didn't just vote ragian I presented cases for and against him I could see it from both sides. We got to four days before the deadline no one else had fucking voted for anyone or presented any reasonable cases at all. We were heading for a no lynch or a last minute mislynch - see civilisation.
I was the first person to vote Ragian after legionnare posted. It wasn't at all obvious at that point that Ragian would be lynched based on his information. Why would I be so quick to throw a scum buddy under the bus? My vote was part of what helped legionnare's push gain some initial credibility.nagerous wrote: I would also like to hear a bit more from mets, his yo-yo-Ing with on the Ragian vote is a bit questionable , it is like he was deciding whether to throw his scum mate under the bus or not and eventually decided to when the pendulum was swinging towards the lynch again to show that he was on the lynch .
Sam is innocent as a sunset and I will not accept this tomfoolery.nagerous wrote:Skoffin, samlen is not as innocent as the cute innocent avatar suggests. Calling me a 'sheepie' and a player who doesn't put any effort in...please

Skoffin wrote:The 'let's lynch Sam!' hinges on Ragian risking taking his partner down with him for no justifiable reason. Honestly most people besides myself hate playing scum and the risks associated, scum almost *always* waffle when it comes to making a claim or defending a partner. There's really no point to bussing a partner unless you're willing to go all out, and there's no point bringing a partner into your defence unless you are sure they will go out in it. This case hinges on Ragian being willing to throw up his partner to defend him and hope his partner is willing to go full force defend or destroy on him.
Eh I feel like even it being a survivor seems like a stretch. I guess it's possible but to me that sounds like a great role to try out for a mafia member. I do think it's possible DDS could have made it up. If DDS was a mafia roleblocker, that would actually explain it all away as well.Samlen wrote:I wasn't saying it was pro-town, I was saying it's possible that it's neither town or scum, but third party survivor role turning actions into roleblocking to stay alive longer.

Well you are correct there was no reason to ONLY consider Ragian but there was a good reason to lynch Ragian. Due to information that was given lynching Ragian would give us the most information.Skoffin wrote: Prior to legion clarifying his actual role we had no justifiable reason to only consider Ragian.
Wouldn't it be much better for scum to just go on the scum lynch and make themselves look good? Like I'm not looking for pro-town points for supporting the Ragian lynch because all things considered I probably still would have prefered a Samlen lynch (well up until legion cleared up his role. But I think at that point, everyone wanted a Ragian lynch.)Skoffin wrote:
I can however fault Chu for seemingly being pro-ragian lynch but simultaneously throw his vote and suspicions elsewhere. Soz but you can say "but he was the only one to see I made valid points" but that would be pretty good play by scum, to 'look' like they are on a lynch but also casting suspicion on other players for a lynching the next day.
I agree with this, I feel like the time to massclaim might be here.Skoffin wrote:
Anyway, we are in a position where massclaims 'may' help up decipher what roles ended up in the game and who affected what outcomes. We may want to discuss when would be the right time to do so.
Skoffin wrote: So um.. er... I'll be honest, I don't know what the f*ck to do from here. Goddamnit chu.
The result was what mattered and at the end of the day and we lynched mafia so I must have been correct in my analysis. I mean it wasn't like I just said 'hmm lets just lynch ragian as good enough' which seems to be what a lot of people are paraphrasing my posts to be like in the previous game day. My post where I voted rag was 35 lines of original content ! I am not sure what else I can do, I know I went missing for a number of life days but to be honest, my life is incredibly hectic right now in between organising a wedding for a few months time, buying a house and working a demanding full time job I haven't got as much time as I would like to dedicate to mafia as I would like. I am no longer a student sadly with spare time to sit about watching box setsSkoffin wrote: sorry to say mate, but that previous day I didn't think you put in much effort either.
Metsfan, I was very aware of the fact that the mod reduced the vote count. As dakky had unvoted my vote then became the third vote on him, which was essentially the casting vote. At this point you still had your vote on DDS who had claimed watcher and had provided evidence that no one had countered. I felt there was a risk of a mislynch and I really didn't want another no lynch it wouldn't have helped us at all after the day one fail. Day one was a complete fail and we nearly had a mislynch then too when a bunch of you guys tried to sneak a last minute lynch on legionnaire. In any case your attempt there failed as we ended up no lynching which as you know I am also not a fan of.Metsfanmax wrote:You're the one that apparently needs to "read the fucking day again."

I would also like to add that dakky and mets seem quiet. Mets, from what I understand from previous games, likes to shoot down bullshit rather than add, so perhaps this is in line with his meta. Dakky, however, is usually very vocal. I have no issue with changing one's style of play, but dakky has also seemed somewhat rigid in his replies. That raises one brow here.
Any thoughts on the game so far, dakky and mets?

And yet you conveniently chose not to comment about it when posting about how we were headed for a no lynch. Which we weren't. There was basically never less than three votes as we got to the end of the day, and even if there was at some point or might have been, people would have voted as we approached the deadline. No one wanted a no-lynch.nagerous wrote: Metsfan, I was very aware of the fact that the mod reduced the vote count.
On D1, you chose to end the day voting for DDS despite no one else joining you. For someone who is not a fan of no-lynch on D1, you sure did play a big role in helping make one happen. (Yes, we know now that lynching legion would have been a mistake, but we didn't know it at the time. Yes I agree that the D1 case on legion was thin, but most D1 cases are thin.)As dakky had unvoted my vote then became the third vote on him, which was essentially the casting vote. At this point you still had your vote on DDS who had claimed watcher and had provided evidence that no one had countered.

I'm not "hot on" that fact. I'm merely pointing out that if you're going to raise your voice at other people and accuse them of ignorance, you had better be ready for a taste of your own medicine.Now the question for you is if you are so hot on the fact that when I voted ragian he was already getting lynched
I'm guilty... of helping to lynch scum?so my complaints that we don't want a no lynch or mislynch are misplaced I find it extremely telling that you yourself are guilty of placing a vote on ragian after he was already getting lynched..
I'm not one of the people who said this so I'm not going to directly respond. However, I will comment that it's strange that you're comparing a D2 vote (after we had significantly more information available) to a D1 vote. D1 votes are necessarily less reasoned, almost always. If we're mining D1 quotes, let's look at the gem of rationality and careful reasoning you produced:On the day one legionnaire case, if people are saying my thought process and vote against ragian which ended up being right, was the act of a sheeple, lazy etc. didn't have any effort put into it, despite as I have said an actually quite long post then check out these day one reasons for voting legionnaire - who got to 5 votes out of 7 so was relatively close to getting lynched.
