Left 4 Dead Mafia - Day 6?

[bv310]

Hooahs and confirmations and such.

Also, just for fun,

Vote: Almightybob

Mod my first newbie game? That means you're scum.

[bv310]

Look at the title of the thread.

Left 4 Dead Mafia -

Pre-Game

We haven't started yet.

Well now, don't that make me look all silly.

[bv310]

Vote: Almightybob

Same reasons as before.

*Shakes fist*

[bv310]

unvote, Vote: DeathNote

[bv310]

@Socrates, what is the your reasoning on Ifrinn? So far, all I've found is a post by you on Page three where you just say "Follow me, I'm right" which really isn't all that convincing.

[bv310]

Ifrinn, I'll save you some time. He's saying I'm scum for voting for DeathNote along with both you and Bob. His argument is that since I didn't post the same reasons as you two, I'm clearly scum trying to bandwagon on a quicklynch. He doesn't seem to realise that votes are our way of applying pressure in order to get a player to explain their post.

Seeing as at no time did we move remotely close to a lynch, his suspicion seems to me to be scum overreacting at his partner getting three votes.

[bv310]

Grab: Boomer Bile

Boomer Bile in the game draws the horde, so I'd assume this is a one-shot vig weapon.

Sorry if this isn't following the plan, but I'd rather get it before scum does.

[bv310]

I think he has this game's enemies and a certain other ongoing zombie-themed game mixed up.

[bv310]

Anon, it's not revealed who had the item. Even if the scum grabbed it and destroyed it, they could say they have it and probably get away with it for a while.

[bv310]

EBWOP: Okay, that post makes very little sense. Let me try again.

Say we choose person A to grab a Flashlight. Assuming the flashlight acts as an investigation (the Infected in the game are set off by light, so I'm assuming that's what it does). If Player A is scum, they can say that they investigated Player B and that Player B is scum when they are town. We're down one townie and then A gets the opportunity to talk their way out. I think the only items that would be completely safe bets would be the Defibrillator and the Shotgun.

[bv310]

I think that if he was absent-minded enough to request a role PM as scum, then he wouldn't think enough to PM.

[bv310]

As bad as this sounds, I'm really happy to not have my name on one of those contribution-needed lists. I've seen that way too often lately.

[bv310]

OK, seriously. Has anyone here actually played Left 4 Dead?

Got Gnome Chomsky in L4D2 along with all the fun stuff. That gnome was a pain in the ass to find.

[bv310]

There were four going right away. Soc, how could it possibly be helpful to claim right away? Scum is going to go for that player for the NK, especially since no Survivors in the game had medical training, meaning no doctor unless someone has a medkit.

[bv310]

My guess is that the Bile will either act as a oneshot kill, or a redirect (I'm leaning towards redirect)

[bv310]

Anyone trying too hard not to look scummy.

[bv310]

Mod: I am ending my V/LA early.

Hey everyone, I am going to read over the past few pages and see what I can find.

Also, any luck on this?

[bv310]

^Fair enough.

[bv310]

It's either "In Isolation", or "In Sequential Order". Either way, it means going back and rereading all posts a particular player has made.

Pom, I'm not sure what you want me to respond. I already explained my DN vote, and every time I notice something, it's already being discussed. What would you like from me? I can give you my Player-by-player reads, I can do a page by page, or I might just iso someone and see what comes up.

[bv310]

I'll try and do a Player-by-player and an iso of someone tomorrow. It's a bit late to start reading now.

[bv310]

I was worried about my activity level because I tend to get called out for lurking a lot.

[bv310]

Grab: Dual Pistols

[bv310]

I'm not included in the item grab, I don't think. I got the Bile, so I don't know if I'm allowed to get the guns too.

[bv310]

I grabbed because I happened to be online to see them up for grabs. I didn't read the rules until after, which leads me to believe that I can only grab one a day. Oh, and the PBP will be up tomorrow. If it isn't, then replace me. Sorry about the lack of contributing, I'm neck deep in finals and term papers.

[bv310]

EBWOP: BV, if you are protown and don't get lynched today, DO NOT USE ANY ITEMS YOU RECIEVE. If you're protown, there is a VERY LARGE CHANCE that the scums will (at least try to) kill you, destroying any item you use tonight.

That was my plan, especially with the effect of this Bile.

[bv310]

If the night goes like I plan, then I don't need to worry about an NK. Unless I'm way off base with how this Bile works. Even if I fail, then at least I'm not hurting the town.

[bv310]

If the night goes like I plan, then I don't need to worry about an NK. Unless I'm way off base with how this Bile works. Even if I fail, then at least I'm not hurting the town.

If you're wrong (and obviously, if you're town), then you're denying town an ability.

If I'm wrong, then the item goes back up for grabs.

[bv310]

The bile acts as a redirect, allowing me to send one player's night actions to a different target. I chose not to use it last night, since I half-expected to get NK'd.

[bv310]

And what reason would that be?

I found you suspicious, but not as scummy as DN. Plus as soon ass I got the Bile, I wanted to try and hold back a bit.

[bv310]

Since someone asked, the Bile's Night Action would look like

Change X's target to Y

I'm guessing based on last night's kills that Louis was by the Horde, and Keith was by a Hunter. What was the third item that dropped yesterday?

[bv310]

Very little flavour, apart from it being disgusting, but useful, and a bit related to my character's reaction to grabbing it.

What was the second item? I remember the pistols and the bile, but not the middle one.

[bv310]

I'd be interested in a name claim, even though it may not be all that helpful.

[bv310]

It's a one-shot. How would I go pick up the vial of puke after I threw it?

And yeah, 184 was my lame attempt at a breadcrumb.

[bv310]

Back now. Still in favour of a nameclaim, still thinking an Amished lynch would be a good choice.

[bv310]

Crypto, those posts were not meant to be facetious, nor an AtE. They were meant to be read in a sarcastic tone.

[bv310]

Vote: Thatguy

Until I hear a name-claim, this is where my vote needs to be. Not sure why you guys are panicking about accidental hammers, seeing as he's at L-4.

[bv310]

I'm still holding onto the Bile. I haven't seen a way to use it to any kind of effect yet.

[bv310]

@Izzy - It only works to redirect one player's night actions, and I don't know who scum are to use it. I'd rather wait until I have a good idea where to use it instead of wasting it.



[Offtopic]Anyone here played The Passing yet? It's cool seeing all the Survivors come together[/offtopic]

[bv310]

What makes you think that DN? Gut isn't a valid reason on page 45. If you can think of one good way I could use the Bile WITHOUT wasting it, then let me know, because I really can't.

[bv310]

Hey guys, responding to prod. I should have a bit of content for you soon.

[bv310]

I still support a nameclaim. I'll even start if necessary.

[bv310]

Currently in the middle of catching up. SPS, I'd like to add my name to the list of people who would like you to use real names. I should have a catch-up post for you guys tomorrow night after work.

[bv310]

Can we get a vote count too? Pretty please?

[bv310]

bv310, I will smack you if you ask me that when there's a vote count last page and nothing has changed since then.

My bad. Teach me not to read the end of a page before going to the next.

But now that I've actually read the page before this one (and reread the Izzy case), I'd like to

Vote: DizzyIzzyB13

[bv310]

Unvote, Vote: SPS

A little eager to hear how to screw this all up, aren't you?

[bv310]

I still have the redirect. Why not use the pills on me tomorrow, and I'll redirect it to someone else? Then we can confirm both me and Dizzy at the same time. Or you can lynch me and get the Bile back. Either way, I'll be content.

[bv310]

The giving pills is a night action, and the taking is a day isn't it? That's how I understood Dizzy.

[bv310]

Okay, so I attempted to use the Bile on Reaper Charlie last night and was blocked. Not sure why, but thought I'd let you guys know. I tried to redirect from him to Crypto (who I personally find the most scummy by way of lurking). I still have the Bile.

[bv310]

I tried to use the bile to redirect any of your night actions elsewhere. I was returned a result of "You were blocked. You still have the bile" (paraphrased)

[bv310]

I have no idea. All it says is that I was stopped from doing my night action, and so I keep my one shot item (paraphrased)

[bv310]

Nope. My main suspect flipped scum, so I still have the item.

[bv310]

Sorry guys, forgot I owed a post in here. I'll have my opinions on everybody left in a few minutes.

[bv310]

And by a few minutes, I of course meant several hours. Yes, I tried to do this post entirely objective, and I agree that I've been playing horribly lurky this game. Lurky =/= scummy.

So,

almightybob

- Bob has been one of the most level-headed players so far. I agree with a lot of his posting so far, and I especially agree with his reasoning against Charlie. Town Read.

Amished

- I came into this post expecting to find him the scummiest and lay down a vote, but in ISO he comes across as exactly the opposite. Town read

DizzyIzzyB13

- Confirmed town.

bv310

- Active lurking personified in this game. His contributions have been negligible, which along with a lot of promised content makes him seem rather scummy. Has received an item though, and was blocked while trying to use it on the (flipped) godfather.

crypto

- My second-highest scumread as of this post. Started as my highest, but reading Charlie has changed that. His posting, besides his one catchup post, has been a lot of one-liners, item grabbing, and quick voting. If he is not scum, I will be surprised.

SaintKerrigan

- has been stalling on his catchup post, but I feel like I can sympathize having a low interest level for this game. His contributions have been low, but I don't find him all that scummy.

Charlie

- In light of the heat coming his way off of Bob and Amished, I reread him in iso. His early D1 posting seems to be scum trying to get the feel of the town, and his subsequent posting has been scummy in no small way. I never realized how much he pushed the nameclaim even after the drawbacks were made very clear. His nameclaim of Ellis really does nothing for me, especially given how eager he was to post it.

Starbuck

- I can never get a read on Star. So far, her posting has been relatively level, but that's how she always plays.


So if my reads are correct, and if the game really was a 3v3 setup, then the remaining scum are Crypto, Charlie, and either Starbuck or SK.

Unvote, Vote: Charlie

[bv310]

Yes really. Posting like your ISO 48, 51, 66, and ESPECIALLY ISO 7 have all been votes with little to no reasoning, mostly either bandwagoning or saying "X is scum, lynch him" with no case. ISO 7 is especially scummy. You come in, grab for a Shotgun and vote with no reasoning whatsoever.
