Wow I get caught up over the weekend and things go to hell.

First off...

Since Jonty was correct on Betiko yesterday I am going to assume that he is sane and I am not. As such I now trust his result on stubbsKVM over my own.
I will post some more useful analysis tomorrow morning.



And I will denote this, You say you are a COP, WHO ARE YOU. Dont throw out one part and lead away from it. I read 4 more posts afterwards and each time someone asked so I think you are avoiding it.


As for Comrade, I have been watching him since the beginning and would like to hear the claim to put more pieces together.

At this point I will wait on comrade to respond to pressure but cant bypass spies on this and will change my vote if necessary but spies has earned this for hardcore avoidance

VOTE SPIESR

He DID say who he was, and I even requoted him saying it so that ghostly could read it again too because he missed the post too. The blue part:

Right, I could either be paranoid (useless) or insane (potentially useful if known). The problem is that I need to have an investigation come up innocent before I can know which it is, and since I missed Night 2 I only have one result so far.
Character is Detective Thomas "Herk" Hauk, for those who know more about the source and might be able to guess my sanity based on flavor.


Someone even posted and commented on the role's possible affiliation:

Well after doing a bit of research I personally don't feel like Herk is a cop role in this game. He would fit better as a roleblocker/Body guard from the description I found on him. If I were to make an assumption about the character and believe you Spiesr, I would think he would be an Insane cop.

[spoiler=my research results]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herc

Herc and Ellis Carver typically worked as a pair in Narcotics, and both are intimidated by Kima Greggs' ability and annoyed at her superior attitude towards them. All three join the Barksdale detail headed by their shift Lieutenant Cedric Daniels. Herc and Carver get into trouble early on in the investigation when, along with Detective Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski, they drunkenly charge into a Barksdale-controlled housing project and harass a group of youths. While there, Prez pistol whips one of the youths, blinding him in one eye and nearly inciting a riot. Herc is slightly injured during the incident when residents begin throwing bottles and firing at the officers, but returns early from his sick leave to take part in raids on Barksdale's operation.

When young dealer Bodie Broadus punches detective Patrick Mahone during a raid, Herc, Carver and Greggs punish him with a beating. When Bodie later escapes from a juvenile detention center, Herc and Carver pursue and rearrest him; finding that he remains defiant they give him another beating. Even so, the three play pool together when they find themselves having to wait hours to hand Bodie over. Herc's character is also humanized somewhat when, in a failed attempt to arrest Bodie at his grandmother's house, he apologizes to her for his rough language and listens politely as she discusses Bodie's troubled past.

When Herc and Carver intercept the Barksdale crew's profits for a day by tailing Wee-Bey Brice, Herc considers keeping some of the money, but Carver realizes that figures mentioned on the wiretap might leave them exposed. Some of the money still goes missing when the bag rips in their trunk. After Lieutenant Daniels confronts them about the missing money, Carver begins to suspect Herc has stolen it, until it is found in the spare-wheel well of the car. This also gets both of them on the wrong side of Daniels, who assumes they simply stole and then returned the money. Later, while raiding a drug stash in Pimlico, Herc and Carver do steal money for themselves.[1]

With little study, Herc takes and passes the sergeant's exam, placing 18 on the list of ranked, passing officers. After celebrating he finds out that he will not in fact be promoted, likely because of past brutality allegations (none of which are confirmed, but all of which are true). Carver, however, who ranks 37, is promoted to Sergeant after acting as a spy in the detail on behalf of Deputy Commissioner Ervin Burrell.[/spoiler]
I would like someone to verify that the research is a fairly correct assessment of Herk. I don't trust Wikipedia half the time.

Vote Comrade With it being fairly soon before the day ends I think we aught to get a claim, and we can't have people skimming through the posts and missing half the info.


I understand you caught up quickly to see what was happening, but did you have to skim the whole game? :D =D>

I feel that this is at the very least an overestimate of the situation.

You can say that the case is very good or that ghostly has addressed it in a way that satisfies you or that some details were incorrect, but the idea that ghostly may have wanted to try to weaken the evidence against Betiko can't be proven one way or the other at this time. Unless of course you have some info not publicly available. Anyhow FOS Newguy & ghostly, should one flip scum at some point I would strongly suggest looking at the other.

Okay, I have no idea what you meant by that. The quoted post was breaking down what ghostly has been trying to tell him the whole time Kirk tried to make the case on him, but really broken down so that he could see what was being said from a third party, re-evaluated by himself by checking to make sure that ghostly's post was in fact after Dj's, and therefore Kirk was in the wrong. The second part was a vote because he spent half the day trying to push a case that was stomped out after his very first post, and I didnt see a better case at that time... But whatever, no vote so I'm not going to worry too much over that.

Anytime, Dj :D

I was convinced that I had caught on to something and, despite rereading posts several times, I was too stubborn to see the evidence which was right in front of me. While it was just ghostly pointing out my mistake, I ignored the obvious but as soon as someone else pointed out the same thing I realised that I might actually have made a mistake. I've wasted half of a day phase and made myself look like an idiot, but nothing I have done is scummy. I made a mistake and persisted with it for too long, but that is all I did. I understand that you guys want me to claim, but I never roleclaim and I'm not about to start in this game (mafia safe claims make roleclaiming fairly pointless and just telling everyone who you are kind of defeats the purpose of the game). If my refual to claim convinces you to lynch me, I suggest you say so without voting for me. I will use my role on New Guy during the night phase and you will find out the truth about two of us instead of taking out a (confused) town player and still being in the dark about the PGO. If New Guy is telling the truth, I will be dead tomorrow and his role will be confirmed. If he is lying, his lie will be revealed in the write-up and you will know everything you need to know about me.

Thy grabbed the uncooperative man by his long black trench coat and dragged him toward the noose that hung from the thick support beam that ran along the center of the detail headquarters. He was a legend on the streets of Baltimore, a sort of ghetto Robin Hood but he held no animosity towards his executioners, this was all just part of the game.

The Wire Mafia Day 4 [8/13]

Posted: Sun Jul 07, 2013 9:16 pm
by thechuck51

A dark sedan pulled into the driveway of a small house. The driver's thoughts strayed from his police work as he was reminded of his days playing high school lacrosse by the old sweatshirt he was wearing. He remembered that he was pretty good, though he would never tell anybody because he was just a humble brother with a big dick. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he never heard the footsteps approaching from behind him. His thoughts of high school glory were only interrupted by the bullet that entered his brain. As he fell to the ground he heard the sound of footsteps running away from him before his mind went dark.

Jonty, your result?

So, spiesr is still either insane or paranoid. Is there no compelling flavour justification either way?

Is superkeener ghostly? Was he replaced or is that a mod mistake?

Anyway, I still think new guy is probably scum. I'll read through the bandwagon yesterday and see if I can pick anything up.

Jonty pretty much cleared me yesterday, but they still decided to kill Saf, the busdriver, instead of me.

I honestly didn't think I would be around today.

Hmmm. This post smells slightly scummy to me. Surely scum would have crosshairs over me and (and to a lesser extent) spieser.

Spies, why wouldnt you check against someone who you thought was town. Plus your other investigation does have a second lead against it so you should have some idea. I believe your charecter should be in the game but Im starting to have swayed thoughts.

As per lynx's satatement I have been thinking about NG's claim and been rolling it around in my head for a while since PGO is normally a shield claim.

Stubbs you seem a bit jumpy since you are supposedly cleared.

Let me try to explain this situation to you. Since Jonty was correct about Betiko we are currently assuming that he is Sane. Since his result against Stubbs said he was Innocent and mine said he was Guilty I am assumed to be either Paranoid or Insane. In order to figure out if I am Insane I need to get an Innocent result, which would only happen if I investigate a Scum aligned player. (Or a miller?) If I were to investigate someone I already knew to be town I would get back a Guilty result which provides me with no new information.
