/in-vitational 7 - Save Cow's Mind! (after 1014)

[Cuttlefish]

Nikanor's not in this game! I'll just have to copy his posting style. It'll be just like I'm his alt or something!

Also, /confirm.

[Cuttlefish]

Lying: Very much so. The mafia have to lie as a necessary part of their role - as such, any lies should be closely scrutinized

I thought you would have learned something in Motown. :K

I don't know who to vote.
I guess I could

policy lynch: Ythill

for being the only guy I haven't played with yet.

SFG: You should know my answers. Do you want them anyway?

[Cuttlefish]

Cuttlefish - Based on what little I saw from his 2 posts, his bluntness leads me to expect that he is town at this point. I think that Cuttlescum would have been a bit more reluctant to potentially annoy people (by not answering the questions, bringing up my worst game on the site and policy voting Ythill).

SCUM KING!! :d

Cuttlefish: Why do you feel that voting without reasoning is a useful tactic?

The only times I wouldn't provide reasoning is when I think the reasons are obvious (20% of the time), or when I'm too lazy to make a case (75% of the time).
I think it's a useful tactic in that it saves time, but that's about it.

Sooo...we're still in the RVS?

Ellipses are scummy.
Also, you're scum for being more serious than town-Reck.

Vote: xRECKONERx.

SFG is probably town. Faraday is probably scum.
I'd be up for name-claims.

[Cuttlefish]

GOD DAMMIT I CAN'T WIN
I'M SCUMMY WHEN I'M NOT GIVING A FUCK
I'M SCUMMY WHEN I'M GIVING A FUCK

No, you were obvtown in yabbaguy's mini normal. Maybe you should study your town meta for next time.

Hahaha, silly Nikanor! You're not in this game!
>_>

[Cuttlefish]

Reckoner is totally scum, guys. So is Faraday.
SFG is still probably town, but I'd like to see more from her anyway.

[Cuttlefish]

Reck: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR [Redacted - Ongoing game].

I'll wait for Reck's flip before doing anything else.

[Cuttlefish]

YES.
MY ANTI-NIKANOR VOTE IMMUNITY IS WORKING!
SFG: You should probably vote for Cuttlefish if you want to vote me.
Haylen: You should probably vote for Cuttlefish if you want to pretend to be suspicious of Cuttlefish.

Unvote. Vote: Haylen.

I suppose Reck's flip can wait until a real dayvig comes along. /me sighs

[Cuttlefish]

SFG, I know you can do better than this. Please try harder.
Faraday, if you think that dramonic is a likely counter-wagon, do you find Haylen's vote suspicious?

[Cuttlefish]

Oops, sorry.

Mountain Dew is me.

I have no idea what you're talking about, Faraday.

[Cuttlefish]

I really doubt that they look a lot at each others' work - they're very different companies.

And based in different countries.
I'll totally sell my vote to the highest bidder right now. Who wants it on whom?

[Cuttlefish]

General notes: He's lurking a lot, and ime that means scum with him. Especially since I've seen him in #mafia meantime complaining that he's bored :/

I'm bored with everything, including this game. v0v

I will pay ten happy thoughts for a vote on TL, and I will join you.

Okay, since I've heard no other offers I will have no choice but to join you.

Unvote. Vote: TheLonging.

Mmmm, happy thoughts.

[Cuttlefish]

How do you know that those 5 people were townies?

That's what you're deciding to grab on to?
I have a slinking suspicion that TL is town and this is all a big distraction from a Haylenscumlynch. It's only slinking for now, though. I'll be sure to let you all know if it suddenly stands up or something.

[Cuttlefish]

My suspects, in order, are Faraday, Haylen, and sorta-but-notsomuch-Reck.
Speaking of hypothetical vigs, I'd love for one to put a hypothetical bullet in Faraday's hypothetical head.

Vote: Haylen.

I know we can do it if we really try. :C

[Cuttlefish]

Haylen isn't even in the top four, she's not today's lynch.

I can dream, can't I?

[Cuttlefish]

Unvote. Vote: Netopalis.

If I cannot dream, then this is the reality I like best.

[Cuttlefish]

Lynching scum usually raises town morale.
Unfortunately, nobody seems to want to do that.
Instead, let's lynch TL the self-defeating townie so that we can see Faraday have a funny avatar! Hooray.

[Cuttlefish]

TL: That first one's been done by VP Baltar before.
I suggest searching for images of Grover in google.

Unvote. Vote: TheLonging.

At least I can satisfy my lust for blood with this.

[Cuttlefish]

Vote: Haylen.

I'd really like a Haylen lynch today. Please?

[Cuttlefish]

I'd still like to see the Faraday, Reck and Haylen scumteam in caskets but I realize that the only realistic lynch right now is Haylen, unless someone wants to come out with a guilty result or something.

[Cuttlefish]

Yeah, I don't understand conflicting claims.
Was I the only person here sent a link to that awesome movie Aristocats, by the way?

[Cuttlefish]

I am not immune to investigations. Perhaps it is your investigations that are immune to me.

[Cuttlefish]

Ythill, I'm guessing that your investigations are inaccurate in some way, shape or form. We already have a flipped neighbor and motivator, as well as three softclaimed investigative roles. If you insist on assuming your investigations are absolutely without flaw then you are stupid.

[Cuttlefish]

Whatever. One of my investigations worked just fine.

Yeah, you know I'm right. Stop being stubborn.

Why did you ask my role name?

Because of the Aristocats thing. I have no idea where it came from, so I thought maybe it had something to do with your lack of result.
Maybe it was just a stray impulse or something.

[Cuttlefish]

Not Aristocrats, Aristocats. HasCow linked me to a video of "everybody wants to be a cat" in that movie.

so unless someone explains why I got a "no result" message on you, we're lynching you.

Yes, because if there is someone with the ability to stop investigations they are obviously going to be town.

[Cuttlefish]

And I should probably have figured that out, seeing as how I've used that as a role before, and seeing as how I was blocked last night.

Unvote.

I'll wait to see if anyone else wants to softclaim before replacing my vote.

[Cuttlefish]

Vote: Netopalis

?

[Cuttlefish]

In the interest of becoming bestest best friends with RECK, I will tell him what dramonic meant by his post.

Hey Reck, did you know that dramonic's role name is Magic: the Gathering? When dramonic said that the mod didn't use him much, dramonic meant that since his role is a cluster of neurons in Cow's brain dedicated to remembering how to play MtG, and that since Cow hadn't played MtG at Caffwagon, that Cow didn't use the network of neurons that is dramonic's role as often as previously thought.

And yes I know this is condescending but I'm only doing it for the large amount of irony to be had. If it were possible for me to say this any other way I would. <3

[Cuttlefish]

Ah, is there a fate worse than being hated by Reck? I cannot imagine there is, for my heart now yearns for the warm embrace that is Reck's friendship. Alas, to have squandered my chance at acquiring the love of the sparkling divinity that is Reckoner is to have thrown away the beautiful zircon gemstone bestowed upon man by the Gods themselves.
Oh why have I forsaken this privilege? Why do I treat my heart with such neglect?

I'm bored now. Can we lynch Neto?

[Cuttlefish]

If DRK is scum he's not a scum power role (assuming he's not mafia neighbor roleblocker or something stupid). I'm about as sure on DRK as I am on Neto, so it makes more sense for me to go after Neto, as the death of a mafia power role in a situation where we have all these claimed PRs would be a great advantage.

[Cuttlefish]

If you're going to reconsider your vote you might as well just place your vote on Netopalis, Reck.

[Cuttlefish]

Why isn't Neto dead yet? It should be pretty obvious that if Neto were town, he'd have about a million votes on him right now.
Why is Ythill still voting me?

[Cuttlefish]

If I believed that players in here were infallible, what would be the point of scumhunting? You either backed off one fake claim to make another or this is some inside reference from #mafia. Apparently your friends believe it is the latter, but (because we are not infallible) I'd like to make that determination for myself. So would one of you please attempt to explain the inside reference that caused you to call someone "confirmed town" without information from the mod confirming that person as town? Thanks.

Why does it have to be an inside reference or mod-confirmed? I just thought she was stating a strong read, and using meta from #mafia to back it up.

Because if KM is lying about her role, you're still scum. And if she isn't, you still could be scum. Once this softclaim business is cleared up, I'll probably move my vote.

If you think that KittyMo is lying about her role, you should be voting for KittyMo. If you think that KittyMo is not lying about her role, you should be able to share a non-role related reason for thinking I'm scum. If you think that KittyMo is a mafia jailkeeper and that I'm her buddy, you should be voting for KittyMo.
But of course none of that matters because you should be voting for Netopalis.

[Cuttlefish]

Haylen, do you want me to tell you about a secret Canadian technique that makes lynching people a whole lot easier? We're usually not supposed to share it with non-Canadians, but since we're friends and since Canada is practically Britain I don't see the harm in letting you in on this little secret.

[Cuttlefish]

It's not as bad as you thought because Haylen is the only confirmed town? >_>
Also you should stop thinking so much and just go with the flow. In case you can't sense the flow of the game, I can tell you that right now the flow is whispering softly in your ear, "vote: netopalis."

[Cuttlefish]

I hear what the flow is saying, Nik, but I'm not that kind of player.

*Sigh* I know, I know.
I guess it's a good thing to have a few different playstyles involved in a game, even if it does make the game run more slowly.

[Cuttlefish]

Ythill, are you doing this just to spite me now?
One of the voices in my head is telling me that Ythill is a Mafioso and that Haylen is a Godfather, with Neto in the back as a roleblocker or something. Should I listen? y/n

[Cuttlefish]

I dunno, they just moved in.
It's probably something to keep in mind in case Neto and Haylen actually are scum.

[Cuttlefish]

dram: Soccer is to the United States as Baseball is to Canada.
Ythill: I think that Reck is kinda scummy, but I dunno. There are other people who are scummier. Reck is certainly not my preferred lynch.

[Cuttlefish]

If I don't meet the deadline in 3 days, instant lynch me.

You know, I've said this as scum a lot.

Just because Neto was replaced doesn't make him any less of a scumbag. Can we please avoid not lynching scum just because of a replacement?

[Cuttlefish]

That still doesn't make me want to not lynch DTM.

[Cuttlefish]

Unvote. Vote: Faraday.

WHERE DOIN IT MAN.
Let's make this happen.

P.S. My daycop ability says SFG is town and that Faraday is mafia. Let's lynch Faraday now please.

[Cuttlefish]

Haylen: You should vote for Faraday instead. Nikanor the day cop commands you!

And by Nikanor I mean Cuttlefish obviously.

[Cuttlefish]

I am a super cop so I can action at both day and night and my actions can see through miller and godfather passives.
It's also called "Fake-claiming Cop: The Nikanorest way to get your suspects lynched with little time left until deadline."

[Cuttlefish]

Reck, we have four days until deadline. I suggest you vote for someone.

[Cuttlefish]

OH JEE SFG WHY SO MEAN TO MEEE.
Unvote me or I'll take Phayt hostage (when he gets here). C:< Gahahahahahaha

Seriously though Faraday is scum. Was there any reason for him to be so sure on TL's alignment that he would make an avatar bet? No, there was not. I'm guessing he did it because backing down would look scummy.

Also bye DRK.

[Cuttlefish]

I would also like to point out that Nikanor tends to be a self-confessed dick as town. I have seen no dickish behaviour here.

You are aware that I just fakeclaimed day cop on the previous page, right?
In any case most of my dickishness was worn off on CSL's game.

[Cuttlefish]

It would be the other three. Did I mention that a HaylenGodfather+YthillGoon team wouldn't surprise me? Oh, right. I did.

Even though we got an extension on our deadline we still only have four days left. And since I can't really see Faraday's lynch going through in four days now that I've botched my fakeclaim....

Unvote. Vote: DeathRowKitty.

[Cuttlefish]

Check the vote count. I would not consider myself a realistic option for lynching. On the other hand, DRK is at L-2.
If one more person votes Reck, I will jump on that wagon. As it stands, though, I don't see that happening.

[Cuttlefish]

Ohey, that works.

Unvote. Vote: xRECKONERx.

[Cuttlefish]

So you're a cop that specifically tries to find town? And you never once thought after Ythill's claim that you might be insane, especially considering your role name?

[Cuttlefish]

All sanities of cop are actually considered normal by that the new normal game standards. Not to mention the fact that two sane cops with a motivator is imbalanced as hell.
Would you be up for a dramlynch, Reck?

find out if they're town aligned.

This looks like a cop that wants to find town to me. If that's the way the flavour flows then I would assume you are insane.

[Cuttlefish]

Request denied.
We are lynching Reck if we do not believe his claim (I do not). We are lynching dramonic if we do believe the claim, because if he is town he is obviously insane.

[Cuttlefish]

Okay Reck, could you answer these questions for me?
1) Do you think that two sane cops and a motivator is balanced in a twelve person game? If not, who is not a sane cop between you and Ythill?
2) Why are you obsessed with getting town results? You said in your claim that you find out if someone is town-aligned, and you investigated someone you had a town read on.

[Cuttlefish]

1) Ythill was motivated so he got two actions. Mafia would have to have a double voter or daykiller or an extra member to balance that kind of power out.
2) You didn't say it was a gambit; you said you actually had a town read on him before investigating him. Your story is inconsistent.

[Cuttlefish]

I have a gut town read on him, which lead to my investigation, which lead to a town result.

This makes it sound like you had an actual read on him.

I investigated dramonic because I had already declared him as town. It was a gambit, but if he turned up guilty on investigation, I knew I could convince people to listen. If he was town, however, then upon my flip, people would realize I had an innocent on him and he'd be pretty much confirmed town.

This makes it sound like you were faking your read.

Learn to fucking read, my fucking god.

This makes it sound like I'm revealing something you don't want revealed.

I'll claim if someone threatens to hammer, but you all already know I'm a power role anyway so anyone who hammers without a claim should be lynched tomorrow. I'd like to avoid claiming if I can.

[Cuttlefish]

Ythill, you should claim your target before night falls, if you can. I don't want more jailkeeper shenanigans tomorrow.

[Cuttlefish]

So it wasn't a gambit?

[Cuttlefish]

My investigation of him would've been a gambit.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

If I hadn't investigated him and by some act of God dram had pulled the wool over my eyes and I was killed and flipped cop, dram would've been falsely cleared.

Weren't you supposed to not have results until

after

night one? How would we pick up breadcrumbs on an investigation you weren't even supposed to have?

[Cuttlefish]

My only thought is that Ythill is a role cop with a Townie result on Haylen or something.
The fact that Reck didn't even question Ythill's softclaim when it happened also leads me to believe that Reck is not a cop.

As for my claim, I'm a vigilante. I can kill people with a wave of delicious mountain dew, drowning them. I tried killing Faraday n1 to no avail, obviously.

[Cuttlefish]

Post 784 was based on Ythill's investigation on Haylen, Haylen's scummy behaviour and Neto's lack of votes. There's a slim chance, but I believed that Faraday might have been protected by a town doctor for whatever absurd reason.
My reasons for suspecting Faraday have nothing to do with the failed kill. After all, I tried to kill him before my kill failed.

It says that my flavourful Baja Blast flavour of Mountain Dew is too much to take. Apparently Baja Blast is Cow's favourite drink, but I'll never be able to taste it because I don't think it's served in Canada.
WEEP FOR ME HASCOW. T_T

[Cuttlefish]

Is it because your team doesn't have a kill-immune godfather, Faraday? Because unless you're claiming

yet another

town power role, that's the only way I see you being 99% sure that my specific role does not exist.

[Cuttlefish]

KittyMo is in no way confirmed town. Making a person immune to inspections and blocking them at the same time is a good ability for scum to use on a townie, especially since scum have a full three power roles. I wanted you to claim your target so that Kitty wouldn't JK your target.

Good luck anyway. If Ythill claims role cop, lynch him.
