It's hard to say anything about a player who's claimed illness without sounding callous and brutal, but I have seen IH around and posting elsewhere so it's reasonable to assume he's notseriouslyill. And it does start to look like this is one thread he's avoiding. There's been nothing you could call content from him for ten days now, and with quite a lot of people suspicious of him it's getting harder to accept excuses for why he's not been here defending himself.-

I don't like how TCS suddenly jumped onto me, first with the intention to wagon me, and then acting as if he actually saw something scummy.
So, is there a case on me besides lurking the hell out of this game?

Erm... AndrewS the point isn't about you missing the post. I think the wagon is on you not because you're inattentive, but because of possible misrepresentation.
I do not think AndrewS is scummy because of that, it's probably an innocent mistake. Reason being I'm a pretty active poster, he couldn't have tried to malign me since it was so easy for me to point it out.
It's the people on the AndrewS wagon who worry me.

At this stage I still think Battle Mage is the best lynch. Here are some reasons why.
1. He has been quite vocal about other players, and other players about him, so we would learn a good deal from his lynch.
2. Lynching Battle Mage compensates for the damage he caused when he claimed townie (on only 3 votes). With only one power role remaining we want to do all we can to protect our cop, and we can help do that by lynching one of the two claimed townies. Of the two I prefer Battle Mage - he just has seemed scummier than AndrewS. I thought ShadowLurker's town tell on AndrewS had some value (though certainly not enough to clear AndrewS altogther).
3. Continuing the day would presumably lead to more bandwagons and more claims. By lynching at this stage we avoid any more townie claims and. most importantly, avoid outing the cop. This is really an argument for a prompt lynch rather than a lynch of BM specifically, but since he's my preferred candidate it is also by extension an argument for lynching him.
4. The other reasons I had for suspecting him (overplaying and inconsistently playing the newbie card, admitting he lies when protown) are already set out in post 77 so I won't repeat them here.
5. I've never understood this, which was one of the first few posts of the game, and before Masterchief had even posted:
I just did a reread and this post is mentioned by several people during the game:Battle Mage wrote:because Lowell seems happy to go for Masterchief, i can assume he is not Mafia.
Therefore i change my vote to Lowell, in an attempt to save a citizen.
Fircoal, Post 56 wrote:This bad logic. But I think I got confused with the fact that I thought, he said Lowell is not scum, and he had no reason for Lowell not being mafia, when he only posted one thing. Then he votes Lowell. Which got my confused. I think I got the meaning wrong.spectrumvoid, Post 68 wrote:On a side-not here, I think the confusion here is genuine. BM says in the quote that he 'can assume HE is not mafia.' Then he votes lowell. The confusion was due to poor grammar. Which HE? Lowell or MC? It's BM's fault here for not clarifying what he meant.)
... but as far as I can see Battle Mage has managed to avoid the topic altogether. In fact he responds to Fircoal's post (quoted above in full) as if Fircoal had said the bad logic was claiming early, and thereby completely avoids the issue Fircoal was actually talking about:TCS, Post 173 wrote:my vote on Battle Mage was because his logic for voting Lowell was faulty. "X votes for Y, I'm convinced Y is town, therefore X is scum" is bad logic. Furthermore, I'm (still) not sure how BM could be certain of MC's innocence when at that point he hadn't even posted yet.
when it is crystal clear Fircoal said nothing of the sort. spectrumvoid picks this up and accuses him of misrepresentation but Battle Mage dances right off topic again with a load of non sequiturs. As for TCS's comment, which comes some time after the others, BM simply ignores it.BM wrote:well i dont see how 'claiming' early on is bad logic.
So I think there is some evidence that the original remark was a slip and that Battle Mage subsequently diverted attention away from it. At any rate, this is a better case than I can find against any other player.-

For mischaracterizing Ripley. He never said he wanted a fast lynch, he said it would be the best lynch at this point.

By page 10, and after 3 weeks, and with conversation having dried up, I disagree that lynching would be a "fast lynch" by any definition of the word "fast". If posting hadn't picked up we'd probably have been looking at a deadline soon anyway.
Yes, I do think days can be stretched out too long and are sometimes driven to that by scum who are amassing more and more information as a result of roleclaims and people going into greater detail about who they find most suspicious. This is all very useful for scum when deciding on nightkills, and there are usually a few townies who can be relied on to parrot cry "quick lynch bad, slow lynch good!", without stopping to consider whether it actuallyisa quick lynch any more, or whether the potential gains of deliberately prolonging the day outweigh the potential risks. I think this is a case where the potential risks should at least be taken into consideration.
And it's very noticeable how nobody has bothered to discuss any of the points raised in my post, and there are plenty. It's so much more effortless to chant "quick lynch bad, Ripley bad!", isn't it? You can do it without thinking at all! Why take the trouble to think, when there's a convenient parrot cry available?
Anyone who wanted to keep things going today was perfectly free to read back over the thread, find something suspicious, post an analysis. Nobody did. The hypocrisy in particular of Fircoal is amazing. He posts nothing for a week, and then when called on it says he has nothing to contribute. His only two posts in the 9 days prior to that week were single sentence placeholders that added nothing of any use whatsoever. If you want the day to continue so badly, Fircoal, put some work into the game. Like I did.-

Ripley, I agree that a lynch would be fast by no definition of the word. However, in response to your arguments posted above, we've already discussed them, and came to the conclusion that BM is probably too stupid to be mafia. If he were mafia, he'd probably be playing a great deal more carefullly. I do have to agree with one thing: We do have to end this day. As for who the lynch should be, I don't know. IH is really looking scummy to me, but IH always looks scummy to me. Twito...Hmm...I think that his play is just characteristic Twito.
After thinking about it, I really feel that our best bet is IH. He is jumping opportunistically on a very small scum-tell and his actions previously have been rather scummy anyway. I sense that his vote on Ripley is an attempt to deflect attention away from his wagon. Therefore:
