vote: help im a bug

What do you mean, numbers correspond to people? Explain and I'll unvote, but it sounds like you know something I don't.

As much as I hate to agree with IS, I agree with IS.

unvote, vote: milkman

I don't buy the roleclaim.

It has too much parallelism with the Atypical Gamer. I find it unlikely that the roles would be mirrored that heavily, but I suspect that's the lines along which a scum looking for a good claim would think.

Lt. Origen looks like a good lynch, but he raises quite a point about The_Machine86's roleclaim. Quite frankly, we are likely in a lynch-or-lose position here, and that's when the mafia tends to claim cop. Given the crappiness of his rolename, I suspect The_Machine86 of being a mafia spy.

Major FOS: The_Machine86

. I won't vote yet, because we appear to be lynch-or-lose. I would also appeal on one of the others to unvote, at least for now, in case CoolBot is scum. We need caution.

Right, he did get DP right (apparently). That's why I suspect him of being a mafia spy, not just a mafioso. I just find his roleclaim hard to believe. Machine, you wanna get in here and explain yourself?

No.

You aren't going to snow us, The_Machine86. If you investigated one of us last night, and you truly are pro-town, then you already know which one of us is scum. I would ask both of you to hold off on voting as long as possible, because despite appearances, The_Machine86 could easily be scum making the sacrifice play.

I don't buy it. You've investigated a mason, you've investigated a scum. If you're telling the truth, all that remains is a mason and a scum. Claim your investigation

now

, and you'd better have a damned good explanation for why there's a role other than mason or scum out there.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #135 (isolation #9) » Wed Mar 30, 2005 10:42 am

No, here's the plan, guys. The_Machine, you're gonna claim what investigation you got on me. CoolBot, you're gonna roleclaim. Then, I will provide an explanation of my activities. If the explanation is less than wonderful, I demand that you lynch me. However, don't vote until I have a chance to explain myself.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #136 (isolation #10) » Wed Mar 30, 2005 10:50 am

I changed my mind. First, CoolBot, I want you to claim. Then The_Machine can claim his investigation of me. That seems fair, since The_Machine did lead us to lynch one scum yesterday.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #140 (isolation #11) » Thu Mar 31, 2005 5:20 am

I absolutely should be telling you guys what to do. Now roleclaim, CoolBot.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #144 (isolation #12) » Thu Mar 31, 2005 3:56 pm

So if you got a night result on me that was essentially the same as the one on DP, why did you say to me "You seem to be the most likely candiate for being mafia."? Better come up with a damned good explanation for that one.

Also, why did you disobey my instructions on who should claim first? I had my reasons for that, but you've blown it all to hell now. CoolBot, you'd better claim.

The_Machine, you've acted oddly and disobeyed my instructions. Also, your greatest suspicion has changed without any new information coming to the forefront. You have a

lot

of explaining to do. Start NOW.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #148 (isolation #13) » Thu Mar 31, 2005 5:28 pm

Anyway, could CoolBot please claim? I wish he would have claimed before The_Machine86, but I suppose it can't be helped...

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #149 (isolation #14) » Thu Mar 31, 2005 5:31 pm

Oh, and The_Machine86, your adversarial attitude isn't helping things any. You don't seem to understand the serious situation you've put yourself in.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #153 (isolation #15) » Fri Apr 01, 2005 5:09 am

Oh thank god, we've found the scum. Sorry about that, The_Machine.

vote: CoolBot

, I'll prove to you in just a moment that I'm the mason.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #154 (isolation #16) » Fri Apr 01, 2005 5:13 am

All right, you remember when Dragon Phoenix roleclaimed?

Sure. Under the circumstances, I'm convinced the scum can figure my role out, so I might as well state it. Congratulations for outing me: I am a mason with one other townie. Of course, we discussed during the first night, that's why my cell phone was busy. Let's therefore assume that The_Machine86 is what he says he is, as he got me right.

The first letter of each sentence spells out SUCOL, which is Locus backwards. He encoded the name of his mason buddy into his roleclaim. Now do you see why I wanted CoolBot to claim first? We're just lucky he took the bait anyway.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #156 (isolation #17) » Fri Apr 01, 2005 7:34 am

The choice is clear. The odds of my name appearing in DP's roleclaim by chance (which seems to be what CoolBot is claiming) is one in eleven million or more. You investigated me as mason, and DP spelled it out for you. There's really only one choice you can make here.

The_Machine86 wrote:Before I vote, I want to know why, LC, you were so intent on proving that Lt. O was innoncent yesterday (last day)

The_Machine86, I wasn't intent on proving his innocence. I simply wanted to make sure that we weren't lynching wrong, and your roleclaim did not seem to fit with the roles the rest of the town had. Clearly, I was wrong, and for that I apologize. I agree that, under normal circumstances, I would be the most suspicious.

However! These are not normal circumstances, and my innocence has been proven not merely once, but twice! Firstly, you investigated me, and got a result essentially the same as the one you got on Dragon Phoenix, and, perhaps even more importantly, wildly different from the entirely unambiguous one you got on Lt. Origen. Secondly, Dragon Phoenix encoded my name into his post.

The proposition that this would happen accidentally is ludicrously improbable!

(The odds against are in the neighborhood of eleven or twelve million to one. Do the math yourself if you don't believe me.)

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I am here, as always, pro-town. It seems essentially an open and shut case: both you and DP have proclaimed me the other mason. If you intend to vote me, please explain why you are ignoring this evidence, and give me a chance to respond to it. Please, please, please don't throw away the game.

(Oh, and yes, my rolename is E-mail Junkie. The fact that the masonic rolename is Email Junkie is public information; knowing it proves nothing except that you have in fact been reading the thread.)

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #162 (isolation #19) » Fri Apr 01, 2005 11:18 am

No.

The_Machine86, you're going to make a huge mistake. Please. Look at the facts. There should be no need for any deduction whatsoever! How do you explain all the evidence pointing to me being the mason? What evidence is there pointing toward CoolBot being the mason?

Please, can you hold off on casting the lynching vote, if you aren't willing to listen to reason? I will never forgive you if you throw this game away for us without giving me a chance to defend myself.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #175 (isolation #20) » Fri Apr 01, 2005 1:27 pm

Well, at least you finally made the right decision. I don't see why you didn't just lynch CoolBot straightaway, though.
