Still not 100%, but here's something.
Can you explain what you were doing here, Maemuki?Maemuki wrote:

Why has no one commented on Ibrahmagic's lack of posts, while commenting on mine? Seems like better reasoning could be used here than is.
Welcome to Mafia. Unless you're a cop/scum, you never know anybody's alignment for sure. Live with it.Tehstefan wrote:I would bandwagon him, if I believed in that logic! I personally don't feel that your reasoning holds up, so I don't follow it. I want solid fact before I go to lynch someone
And that will make us believe that you're town...because?Now my vote isn't parked on anyone.
It seems like you were treating the Tehstefan wagon as a serious wagon, not a random bandwagon on a lurker to get them into the game.
I hope I don't have to explain why that doesn't sit well with me (though I will if I do have to).-

The night kill. Newb scum usually guns down an SE or IC at very least you'd expect some power role hunting and as far as I could tell there were no hints from Ibr that he had a power role.Maemuki wrote:
Why do you think so?Debonair Danny DiPietro wrote:The bottom part of your list is wrong other than me, one or both of the SEs are scum.
So his kill was likely for one of two reasons or a combination thereof, one, the classic zero information kill we gain basically no knowledge from last night's death. That's a move of a player with some experience and two, it killed a lurker which suggests the player has a vested interest in keeping the game alive. Since this group of newbs other than Bub have shown basically no interest in pushing forward it's much more likely that it was undertaken by one of the SEs who have an interest in the game continuing.-

I still have an interest with a few players in this game. There should be a mass prod on players that are inactive that aren't being replaced.
Also, I had to give up the comp while Iwas halfway done with my analysis post, so expect that post shortly, while I motivate myself to do so.Show"I can't kill my own best friend, especially when I can't do shit at all!" - Tragedy

Anyways. I wanted to see his reactions to those pseudo-serious questions - and then decide whether to bring stuff to a real wagon, or unvote because he started posting. Which he never did, because he was lynched.
The fact that Raskol is building a case on me when DDD just said what he said strikes me as weird, though. Don't get me wrong, I do not want to OMGUS. But still, something fishy is going on.-

Glad that you're feeling better Raskol. You've got an excellent point DDD, because both Raskol and Maemuki have tried to keep the game moving in both D-1 and D-2.ShowTotal: 17/15/1

That seems pretty weak to me. You're assuming that keeping the game going had something to do with the NK, when there could have been any number of reasons for it.Debonair Danny DiPietro wrote:
It's not especially beneficial which is why it's that much more likely to come from someone who is invested in the game and the community.Bub Bidderskins wrote:Though, DDD, while I do agree with the logic, how is it in a mafian's best interest to keep the game moving?
Also, I don't blame you for this as you can't be expected to incriminate yourself, but I'd like to remind the rest of the players that the point you've made against the SEs applies equally well (in fact, better) to yourself, as an IC.
You haven't struck me in any of your other posts as an aggressive player, so I don't buy this. Why would you fish for reactions in this way for Tehstefan, and not any of the other players?Maemuki wrote:

No, I said it was one of two possible/partial reasons along with it being a zero information kill.Raskol wrote:

Ibr wasn't a threat to anyone, he wasn't viewed as pro-town, there's nothing to suggest he was a power role. The two reasons I noted are the only two logical reasons for an Ibr kill and they point to (one of) the SEs having a hand in the affair.
If you've got another possible reason for the kill feel free to share, but I'm not seeing it.-

First of all, just because you don't think there's anything to suggest he's a power role doesn't mean no one could have thought he was. I happen to agree that he didn't seem like a PR, but I'm not going to assume that everyone shares my read.
Second, insofar as Ibrahim did have stances on the game, and he did, we can't simply assume that he wasn't perceived as a threat by anyone. He asked you a question which might have been out of suspicion, and he expressed a clear desire to see Diakron dead---actually, Diakron seemed interested in killing Ibrahim during the day, as well. So there are two people who might potentially have seen him as a threat. Bub Bidderskins also wanted to lynch him, so add him to the list of people who might have wanted him dead.
In addition to all the plausible little stories one can think of, there's also the simple possibility that someone killed him for a reason that wouldn't make any sense to me at all. We have a lot of first timers in this game and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them NK someone for reasons we don't usually see. That's part of why I think this case would be weak even if if your reason really were the only 'logical' one---it's not at all unlikely that the kill was a suboptimal newb play.-

He had three posts, one of them was his RVS post, another was a single question directed to me. If you're going to tell me that it's possible that someone found a PR tell in his posts then I'm going to say that you've passed from improbability to impossibility just so you can disagree with me.Raskol wrote:First of all, just because you don't think there's anything to suggest he's a power role doesn't mean no one could have thought he was.

Diakron was replaced either before night began officially or overnight by CSL, so Diakron couldn't have had any say in the NK. And why would scum Bub kill Ibrahim, you don't generally kill those you think you can secure a mislynch of.Second, insofar as Ibrahim did have stances on the game, and he did, we can't simply assume that he wasn't perceived as a threat by anyone.

Don't give me that Raskol, at this level this isn't a tricky game. There are a few basic reasons you kill someone in this game and occasionally a few WIFOM counters to those. Most of those don't fit so the reasons I supplied are likely correct. When you eliminate the impossible, whatever left, however improbable must be the truth.In addition to all the plausible little stories one can think of, there's also the simple possibility that someone killed him for a reason that wouldn't make any sense to me at all.

Some people would say that such lack of activity itself is a PR tell. I know for a fact that the wiki, for example, gives that impression, which is something newbies may follow.Debonair Danny DiPietro wrote:

A replacement has the same reason to fear those who wanted to kill the person they replace as the person they replaced would have. Null point.Diakron was replaced either before night began officially or overnight by CSL, so Diakron couldn't have had any say in the NK.
He tried to get Ibrahimagic lynched and found no support. So this actually strengthens my point: thank you.And why would scum Bub kill Ibrahim, you don't generally kill those you think you can secure a mislynch of.
Which newbies (especially first timers) are more likely than anyone else to be unfamiliar with.There are a few basic reasons you kill someone in this game and occasionally a few WIFOM counters to those.
In any case, I don't think turning the game into a discussion on this is terribly useful. If you want to regard your thoughts about the NK as a reason to distrust the experienced players, fine. I've pointed out why I think it's weak, and that any strength it does carry applies to you as well, which is all I really have to say about it.-

Well, I'm waiting for a response from her before I vote, but I'm going for Maemuki atm, because of that post and her explanations for it, and the incongruence of both of those with the rest of the game she's played.
I also feel like the game is stalling, though. There are a lot of people I simply haven't heard enough from.-

But is a noobie voting for a random reason impossible? I find that an SE is just as likely to be mafia at this point as a newbie. They may not know who to kill or why to kill. I thought that it would be in favour of a mafian to kill somebody who was contributing. And the way this game is going, that might be enough to let it coast right up to the deadline.Debonair Danny DiPietro wrote:Raskol wrote:When you eliminate the impossible, whatever left, however improbable must be the truth.
Oh, and Del. If you're out there. Why did you come in for no reason and give an L-1 vote in D-1? Why?ShowTotal: 17/15/1
