Internet will be slow until about 7:10 PM MDT thanks to this stupid fair access policy of my ISP's, so I'll see if I can do a readthrough tonight or tomorrow.
What's the important stuff right now?
#162 is making LlamaFluff townier than I already thought him. Clearly thought out case on xvart.The role you get is random, I know since I asked Spyrex to be a paranoid day cop no less than three times.

farside22 wants Fishythefish dead; LlamaFluff wants him alive for right now. I thought, therefore, that one was accusing the other, thought the other had some sort of ulterior motive, or something like that. However, neither of them seem scummy.UncertainKitten wrote:Plum is prob town, Nico needs to die, SC needs to realize that farside vs. llama wasn't alignment related except for the debate on Fishy's alignment. I'm pretty sure they aren't accusing each other, and in fact farside's...reaction to llama indicates she thinks him stupid town.
So, that brings me to my point. Why bother pointing out it's "town vs. town"?

Fishy not town = lynch.
A policy lynch is an excuse not to take a player's actions into account when deciding who is scummy or not. It's like saying "Oh, this guy is of no use, so let's dispose of him." Anti-information = scummy.UncertainKitten wrote:@SC: Elaborate on why farside is scummy. Explain how her actions benefit scum.

Way to misrepresent me, farside22. I said your focus should be Mafia, not just anybody not town. If you had kept your Fishythefish case solid and convinced us that he was Mafia, I would have no objections, but you said that claiming not town gets you the death penalty. There is an other/non-hostile alignment possible, and the mod has said that, by non-hostile, he means that their win condition doesn't preclude the town winning. I think Fishythefish is non-hostile other; it doesn't look to me like you give a damn what he is anymore.farside22 wrote:So you admit to knowing he stated he was not town.

I beg to differ on farside22, but I can hop on an SK lynch. That needs to go early.DrippingGoofball wrote:http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 36#2266636StrangerCoug wrote:Apparently, being oblivious to the Zorblag case = being unproductive. Could you bring me up to speed?

A productive vote could be on Troll, Nico, or Fishy... or even a player that has another vote. There is NO WAY that we're lynching farside. EVA. You need to move that vote.
The earlier the serial killer dies, the less we have to worry about kingmaker, prisoner's dilemma, or any similar scenario. Yes, the Mafia should still be getting priority. However, the serial killer cannot be left in the game indefinitely.UncertainKitten wrote:##MFoS: SC
How intriguing that you prefer anSKlynch to a scum lynch.
The last two pretty much did it. (I'm still not familiar with the Nicodemus case either, by the way. I simply don't do as well in larges, but I apparently don't let that get in the way of my best efforts )Zorblag wrote:@StrangerCoug, out of curiosity, what was it about the posts that DrippingGoofball linked that convinced you that I'm a hostile other and that I'm a better lynch than, say Nicodemus today? It seems that you agree with her that I'm not mafia. Was it the part where she accused me of ignoring her analysis just after I'd made a post saying I'd be giving a defense shortly? Was it the part where she tried to use my not denying that I'm a Serial Killer as a point against me right after I'd explained why it was I picked town for my alignment? Is it that you agree with her that I've been coasting and fake scum hunting all game?
For the most part I'm piggybacking off DrippingGoofball, but your ISO does look like you're not scumhunting on any sort of consistent basis, hence coasting. Some posts I would like you to explain are:Zorblag wrote:So if it's my coasting and fake scum hunting that I've been doing all game that has you convinced that I am a serial killer (or some sort of hostile other at least) I wonder if you could explain what you mean by coasting and why you think I've been doing it more than others. I'd also like to see a couple of what you think are my most egregious instances of fake scum hunting. It's a bit surprising that you're voting for me before you're familiar with the case on Nicodemus given that you made sure to ask about mine before deciding but I assume given your answer that you did take the time to look over at least my play in isolation before making your decision.
Zorblag wrote:@Shotty to the Body, an easy way off that part of my fine lynch list is simply to post when you get the chance. If finals have kept you busy then you'll be able to make it up after their over.
@popsofctown, you know it's funny. Back when I was deciding what alignment to pick I thought that I might say I used exactly that same method (only with higher non-town numbers) to pick my alignment if I decided to go for scum or other. I never actually considered using the method though. You make it tempting to leave my vote but right now I'm slightly more interested in who will follow the lead to Phate (who's also a fine lynch.)
Unvote
Vote: Phate

This admittedly isn't that bad since you give a good explanation, but it would help me if I could figure what you were thinking in terms of FishytheFish's alignment:Zorblag wrote:While I'm waiting,

##Vote: popsofctown
If people are going to fall out of love with a Phate lynch and a wagon is starting on popsofctown I'm pretty happy moving back there. He'd be a fine target for a vig or whatnot but if people want to lynch him instead I'll support that as well.
Zorblag wrote:I had been thinking that if Fishythefish had been able to tell if the person he transmitted to was town (via points or what-not) then he might have been worth keeping around for an extra day to verify popsofctown's alignment (or someone else) and then killing tomorrow. Apparently he's not useful for that though. Also, apparently he's leaving out multiple details if his current claim is true. I'm not sure how many actions I expect him to have but if he had one for last night and thinks that he can accomplish more today before getting lynched it's certainly more than I would have guessed.
I wouldn't be hugely shocked if he was telling some of the truth with his claim but sadly, given how xvart flipped, it seems unlikely that we'll know much until after the game is over about what can do. Perhaps I'm wrong and there's something about how xvart was killed that's kept that information on the lesser side but I don't see how talked to death would be likely to make that the case.
If people want to give him time I doubt there's much chance that it'll do that much harm but I don't think that he's sharing enough to be worth keeping around for the time he's asking for.
##Vote: Fishythefish
Anything else that I've got to say about the game should keep just fine till tomorrow.

Yes, I think farside22 is scum. No, this is not the right way to respond to her. She already knows you're something.charter wrote:I'm not telling what I targeted him with, unless we massclaim. I didn't kill him.
It makes perfect sense if I think you're either on an opposing Mafia group or a serial killer.charter wrote:StrangerCoug, if you think farside is scum, do you think I'm scum with her? Your vote makes no sense. Honestly, the three people voting me look really opportunistic. Farside has made every opportunistic vote available the entire game.
Both of you look like you're policy lynching non-town indiscriminately, so I think the two of you share an alignment.Plum wrote:Hm? How so and what do you care to imply by saying so?StrangerCoug wrote: Way to tie yourself to farside22.
It appeared that #1379 was advocating Shotty's policy lynch. I'll look through tomorrow.Plum wrote:Um, not policy lynching non-Town indiscriminately. Read my posts, please. I'm in for outing them indiscriminately and am more interested in seeing clearly who's what. Thereisa reason for this. Separating out true Other claims from fake ones helps see where our pool of true scum actually is. That's why, for example, I'm happy we have outed d3x and Shotty as Other, and have Zorblag at the very least to help test such claims.
Again, check my posts and note that while I talk a lot about outing Others as a good thing, I clearly standagainstpolicy lynching them.
charter wrote:Good try there slick, but you're going to have to do better. There are two kills each night. We know where one comes from, so the other is almost assuredly scum. There's no third kill for me to be a SK or another scum group.Stranger wrote:It makes perfect sense if I think you're either on an opposing Mafia group or a serial killer.
I thought this was implied. No, I do not think you are scum with farside22. Additionally, a hostile non-other flip from farside22, while something I don't think will happen, won't surprise me; therefore, I could be in serious error by pushing for her lynch.charter wrote:So back to the question, do you think I'm scum with farside, and how do you think that works?
I did. I gave two possibilities that I see perfectly reasonable: that two kills were blocked, one per night; and that I'm wrong on my farside22 read.charter wrote:If you're going to say I'm scum despite the lack of any evidence to support it, then you're going to have to come up with a working theory that fits.
This is completely incorrect; in fact, what I'm getting on myself for is being quiet about my reads, especially yesterday. I have only ever voiced suspicions of xvart, Phate/animorpherv1, Fishythefish, farside22, Zorblag, Plum, and you. That's barely over a quarter of the players that signed up. Of those, xvart is dead, Fishythefish since claimed non-hostile other, I'm now leaning non-hostile other on animorpherv1 also, I believe Zorblag's claim, and I need to reread Plum to see if I believe her defense. So the best thing you can do is to claim that my reads on you and farside22 make no sense since I don't think the two of you are the same alignment. Instead, you generalize it as calling as many people as I think I can get away with scummy. Not the way to respond to me either.charter wrote:So far you're just calling as many people scum as you can despite contradicting evidence..
If you or anybody that responds to your request finds something specific that could potentially incriminate me, I'm all ears.farside22 wrote:I'm starting to read SC as scum. Call it OMGUS but definately something off when reading SC.

Well, the post after this indicates that most roles are outed already (and it looks like I'm third from last), so I guess I'll spill that I am a LGBTQIA Rights Organizer, town neighborizer.

If you're opposed to it now after all the claims we've seen I want to see reasons why you oppose it.
The number appears to have changed sometime between May 19 at 5:51 PM EDT/3:51 PM MDT and May 23 at 5:24 PM EDT/3:24 PM MDT.Zorblag wrote:@StrangerCoug, do you know exactly when those numbers changed? I'd guess that the first one was generated in N1 (well, twilight, after the mod-kill) and at the start of D2. I'm also guessing they're strings of numbers rather than single numbers. There aren't quite enough of them (they add to 20 and 18 respectively) but it looks like some sort of distribution of roles. That actually adds a lot of credence to DrippingGoofball's claim if it's the case.
Now that I've checked, LlamaFluff gave the second number to me post mortem. The mod must have allowed a grace period, since LF didn't appear to know he was dead yet.Zorblag wrote:@StrangerCoug, hmm, that's more at the end of the second day. Did he talk to you during twilight before he was killed?
Nope. No context, no believed reason to be holding onto the second number.Zorblag wrote:I take it he didn't give any context with the numbers and that you're pretty sure that he was giving updates as they happened (and wasn't just holding out on giving the second for some reason?)
I'd ask if I stuck something like this in SWN II, but Vi reviewed that game.UncertainKitten wrote:Leave it to a Vi influenced game to have an limited unlimited Dayvig.
UncertainKitten's claim in this thread matches that in my neighbor QT (other than the addition given in the QT that anybody that survives her kill goes in a neighborhood separate from mine) and faking vig as SK is suicidal in the long run, so I'm not willing to give this creedence. Zorblag also can't shoot everybody; if he couldn't, he wouldn't effectively be a government cop. I can make perfect sense out of UK's claim.DrippingGoofball wrote:WE don't have two vigs, that include an unlimited dayvig.UncertainKitten wrote:Just a vig at night, but I can shoot anyone I damn well please ^-^.
We have an unlimited dayvig, and a SK.
You are the SK.
Feel free to let the WIFOM accusations fly, but the only way in hell I'm neighborizing LlamaFluff as scum neighborizer is if I want to suck up to him.Zorblag wrote:As far as StrangerCoug goes, if DrippingGoofball is mafia then he's a pretty decent choice for a partner. The numbers he got from LlamaFluff which he says he hadn't figured out at all would be a pretty good trap for someone like me to interpret in a way that made it look more likely that the census collector claim was true. Of course as it turns out they require that LlamaFluff passed the second one on after he was already dead which is a bit surprising.
I wouldn't assume that LlamaFluff's reputation as a scum hunter would make scum not want to neighbor with him; scum would probably try to get cozy with town in any case and if LlamaFluff hinted roleblocker or redirector of some sort in the qt that would make for a tempting kill for the mafia last night.
I've been described (by my predecessor, actually) as spontaneous town and calculating scum.
