Mini 546: House Mafia - Game Over

[Beep! Beep!]

I'm halfway reading.

Thoughts so far.

Pooky might be scum with one of Shafted, Karma, or Adel - because they launched the game with distancing.

TrustGossip might be scum with one of Dean, Volkan, Adel -a gain early game distancing.

[Beep! Beep!]

Later, but still early in the game, prime distancing time:

CuriousKarmaDog, Shafted voted Adel

So I see links between Pooky-CKD-Shafted and Adel.

I will now concentrate on these 4 players.

[Beep! Beep!]

Pooky votes:
CKD
Adel
JM/BB
says I'm scum, but does not vote me.
makes good points against vollkan, 3 long posts in fact, but does not vote vollkan.
claims armlx is scum, but does not vote armlx.

I don't fully grasp the mechanics of this game, Pooky, can you explain why you voted CKD and Adel, but shied from voting me, armlx, and especially vollkan?

[Beep! Beep!]

CKD votes:
Pooky
Adel - but later unvoted
armlx on a hunch

I find that CKD is exceptionally non-committal (the "question" to "statement" ratio is unusually high, to be precise), many short posts, little content, until...
His post 37 appears sincere, but I can't be sure. Post 38 appears sincere, too. Also post 44. Mmm. I don't think CKD is scum.

[Beep! Beep!]

Adel votes:
Pooky
TG
Erg0 - for no good reason at all
JM/BB - also bad vote
cavalier dismissal of CKD's linking of armlx with herself
unvotes JM/BB, then back again.
Then votes armlx, (distancing in response to CKD's accurate observation of an Adel/armlx link?)
unvote JM/BB - AGAIN!!!
Then votes armlx... again!!!

[Beep! Beep!]

shafted votes:
Adel
Contentwise, seems town. Good content, logical, rock solid. No complaint from me.

I'm also going to look at amrlx because of the Adel connection.

armlx votes:
Erg0
Adel
CKD
JM/BB
shafted
JM/BB
I don't like this sentence: " Early game I acted moderately scummy to draw responses, responded with a fairly detailed analysis based on my observations and some gut feelings on intangible things I had observed."
His player analysis is very superficial.
In his post 37, he goes deeper, but many of his opinions are the opposite of common sense.
I don't like the interaction with CKD, mainly because amrlx's reasons are poor, and CKD seems town.
He's berating lurkers, but forgiving Pooky for being his usual disruptive self. Double standards, I do not like.

[Beep! Beep!]

Top scum:

Armlx - Adel - Pooky (by association) - shafted (only because of the way scummy players react to him).

That'll be all for today.

[Beep! Beep!]

Oh, another thing. I'm only allowed to vote for my non-team members, right?

In this case, between Pooky and armlx, I'll pick armlx.

vote: armlx

[Beep! Beep!]

No... I totally didn't get this. We need only 3 to lynch? Ugh?

[Beep! Beep!]

Oh please lynch Adel...

[Beep! Beep!]

Vote CKD

also no comment on Beep's 8 posts in a row? Clearly he must be scum, right?

I have no regret about hammering armlx.

Adel is scum too. Only scum would jump on a replacement failing to grasp some very odd mechanics. A townie would have explained a few rules I might have missed, and would have checked the time spanned by my 8 posts, etc., and been more understanding.

[Beep! Beep!]

As for Adel, you know she was the other vote to lynch Armix, you think she was bussing him early?

Oh yeah. Absolutely. I bet she didn't think he'd end up quicklynched...

[Beep! Beep!]

You also seem to know quite a lot about armlx's alignment. Is there a reason for that?

I don't. And no.

[Beep! Beep!]

Pooky, you've been very tunnel-visioned with vollkan.

Very very very.

But then you very recently said that you thought armlx was "total scum" - did you mean this? If so, why? And if you think armlx is scum, how do you interpret the interactions between vollkan and armlx.

[Beep! Beep!]

Bah! Bah!
