Mini 837 - Stratego Mafia! (Game Over!)

[AlmasterGM]

You dismissed any conclusions based on Synx's responses before they were made, which is both nonsensical and completely unhelpful for town in any way. While your assumptions may prove true, I see no reason that town would dismiss any hope for evidence so readily. On the other hand, I think how a question is answered can be as much evidence as the factual statement itself.

OK, Synx has responded. Tell me 1) how his claim was TOTALLY predictable and 2) what evidence we get from what he said.

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch!

Deadline is October 1st, midnight.

[WeyounsLastClone]

I still find Synx quite suspect, but also Almaster. We hadn't had any discussion to speak off, and he already places Synx at L-1.

Vote AlmasterGM.

[ortolan]

I would like to see Synx's thoughts about his bandwagon.

[Gorrad]

Honestly, Synx's claim looks like scum botching a safeclaim. I would be FAR from surprised if Synx was the bomb whose role PM mentions that he can be "diffused". In fact, I'm rather sure he is.

As for the spelling issue, honestly? The mod is fallible. Heck, in Case Closed Mafia, I misspelled the /name/ of one of the characters. That person got called out for it too. Synx is scum, I have no doubt at all, but not because of the spelling.

There isn't going to be much discussion to speak of regardless of what L-X

anyone

is at. Things just aren't moving anywhere. Your post is a partial case-in-point - all you do is call me out based on one move, and say you suspect Synx in a two-line long post. Putting people at L-3 and in other safe zones is just going to slow down things even more.

Vote: Almaster

Now now, let's not be overeager.

Case in point again.

Don't lynch before I claim.

[dramonic]

You're three votes away from the lynch.

Fos someone who said one post ago that L-3 isn't going to do anything you're quite contradictory.

Scumbos aplenty!

I'm not sure why you think this. Because I "assumed" that my role only works on scum?

[ElectricBadger]

Synx sounds very much like a botched fake claim; more like a scum miner who doesn't know what the bomb's role says, though, than a bomb fake claiming (so far it seems that each rank is assigned, so that would invite a counter claim).

[Gorrad]

Synx, now this is interesting. I said that the miner's role should only work on Bombs, I said NOTHING about it working on scum. Are you saying that the mafia are all bombs?

[AlmasterGM]

(so far it seems that each rank is assigned, so that would invite a counter claim).

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate time to say this, but I don't see the harm, so I'm going to go ahead and do it anyway. This is NOT TRUE. I share the numerical rank of one of the deceased. Given that there are 12 players in the game and 12 pieces in Stratego (2-10, S, B, F), this means that at least one (possibly more) of the pieces from the board game does not exist in this game. It also means we cannot use number claims/counterclaims to exonerate and implicate people.

I was questioning your logic behind thinking it's a botched fake-claim.

That doesn't change my premise, though. Claiming a fake role seems like a bad move. If there were another miner, for instance, they would be able to tell quickly whether the role matched their own.

[dramonic]

If I could put an extra vote on you Almaster I would.

Odds are you are scum, especially if you share one of the dead's rank.

Explain.

[dramonic]

Almaster says he has one of the roles that are dead. Most likely the flag was removed (since in the real game it's instant-win). Unless Charter duplicated roles in a completely arbitrary manner, the only role I can see well being duplicated is the spy. Two trackers on the town team would be pretty unlikely, wouldn't you say?

[ElectricBadger]

Spy had no numerical rank, so no. Others were both vanilla, although Almaster's phrasing seems to imply he's not (or at least leaves the possibility open). I'm inclined to think this is misinformation to prevent town from counterclaiming as long as he's alive, as I can't see his eagerness to identify his rank serving any other purpose at the moment.

And what makes you think that he did NOT duplicate roles in a completely arbitrary manner?

[dramonic]

I have no reason to believe otherwise.

[ortolan]

I would prefer a Synx to an Almaster lynch substantially.

Hoops seems to be lurking.

What do people think of Vaya? I actually get pretty scummy vibes after re-reading him.

Mod: please prod Hoopla

[charter]

Prodding Hoopla.

[ElectricBadger]

I would prefer a Synx to an Almaster lynch substantially.

Then why no vote?

Hoops seems to be lurking.

Yup. And she's still on my naughty list.

What do people think of Vaya? I actually get pretty scummy vibes after re-reading him.

Not thrilled with everything he's done, but he reads town to me so far. What stands out?

[Hoopla]

Sorry everyone for my recent inactivity - I'm in the process of moving. The hard stuff is basically done, so I should have a lot of time from now on!
