Mini 452 NBA All-Stars Mafia-Game Over!

[Adam The Amazing]

Wait...

Jason Kidd didn't play in the 2006 all-star game.

It's a few days before the 2006 NBA All Star Game and Shaquille O'Neal has turned up dead. Which is a shame, since he's a cop in real life. But the game must go on, and who better to figure things out then the players themselves?

THIS

is why I think all the townies are people who were selected for the big game.

Oh, and BTW: I am not against a mass nameclaim, if others are insistent, but as a rule I tend to be against trying to mass claim to victory.

Vote: Xdammno

[Fletcher]

Mass nameclaim?

Sounds good to me.

Fletcher, you're not tricking me and actually being mafia, are you?

Nope, I'm the real deal.

Vote: Xdaamno

All of the deaths line up with the all-stars vs non all-stars theory. I'm definitely up for putting that to the test.

[Sonicpulsar]

Well, I was honestly a bit worried at the relative rapidity with which Xyzzy was lynched til we found out he was scum. I'll have to go back and see who distanced themselves from him or made any sort of link.

On a different subject that no one has discussed yet, why was IH killed? Facts:
1. He didn't vote for Xyzzy.
2. He was the supposed mason partner of HC.
3. He wasn't posting a tremendous amount.

These facts lead me to examing three scenarios with the basic assumption that there are 3 mafia (could be wrong).

1. 2 voted for Xyzzy to distance themselves and/or throw off the scent.
2. 1 voted, 1 did not.
3. Neither voted for him.

I'll go ahead and do away with #3 because that would mean I'm scum (only Xdaamno, Xyzzy, IH and myself didn't vote for Xyzzy and 2 of those 4 are dead).

To me (and this isn't based on hardcore facts), 1 seems more likely to me than 2. Thus, I'm lead to believe 2 of the 5 voters are probably scum meaning Xdaamno probably isn't scum in my eyes.

Now,of couse the interesting thing to determine is who is scum amongst the 5 voters.

I'll have to reread the past couple of pages and then I'll probably rank the 6 people based on that. At the moment, I'm curious how we already have 2 people voting for Xdaamno when we haven't even discussed IH's death. Seems awfully scummy.

[Adam The Amazing]

The reason I'm voting for Xdammno is because he roleclaimed someone who didn't play in the game. Jason Kidd was not selected to the 2006 All-Star team. Thok wrote at the beginning,

who better to figure things out then the players themselves?

This piece of seemingly previously discarded "flavor" seems to give an important hint about who's not town.

For now,

Unvote

. I want to hear lots more. I don't really have anything to say off the top of my head about IH, other than I like(d) his playing style, even if it does sometimes seem a bit unorthodox.

And Fletcher, the putting of the second vote seems a bit quick for my liking. I understand (hell, I put the quick first vote on), but I'd like to talk lots. It makes me feel like I have friends.

FOS: Xdammno, Fletcher.

[Nekka-Lucifer]

Bah!

[Xdaamno]

Regards to my name, I obviously don't know whether he's in the game or no. If he isn't, I'm gonna be pretty annoyed at the mod for screwing me over by making only those with game knowledge have an advantage >.<

Bah!

0_0

[Xdaamno]

EBWOP: Ooh, how about this: At the time, I think we knew it was only the all-star players were townies, right? Now, assumingly, the mod didn't provide bad names as safe claims for the scum, if they have any. Now if I was asked to roleclaim,

you're

suggesting I went with a bad name, i.e.

my own

name. Why wouldn't I use a safeclaim instead?

And if there's no safeclaims for scum, this game's quite unbalanced

[Xdaamno]

Double EBWOP: Also, ran with that without explaining where I was going. I was doing an as-scum hypothesis,

obviously

-_-

[Xdaamno]

TRIPLE EBWOP: (God) Another clarification, if I was scum I think I probably could of

guessed

my own name was bad and the sameclaims were fine, if your theory is right (or not?).

Vote: Xdammno

Wow, I'm an idiot for never checking this.

Xdaamno, you better find something else besides WIFOM to keep my vote off of you. I should've stuck with my initial read.

If

I

were the cop and

I

had one living guilty or two living innocents,

I

would probably reveal such.

[YogurtBandit]

Are We nameclaiming or just lynching Xdaanmo?

[The Central Scrutinizer]

vote: Xdaamno

[The Central Scrutinizer]

We have a lynch to determine whether or not our setup speculation is valid.

But to be totally honest, ever since xyzzy came up scum I've been thinking xdaamno. His last few posts seem like desperate scum treading water.

[inHimshallibe]

I'd rather wait to see if we have any supplemental information, because our pool of players is dwindling, but yes, I want to vote Xdaamno now, too.

[Xdaamno]

Xdaamno, you better find something else besides WIFOM to keep my vote off of you. I should've stuck with my initial read.

Argh, I don't know how to defend myself. I can't defend against my name not being in the game (apparently), and I don't know what you mean by treading water (With WIFOM it's easy just to call that on any if/else argument, but if you actually read it it might make sense).

[The Central Scrutinizer]

If we massclaim tomorrow, it should be done in this order:

sonicpulsar>fletcher>yogurt>adam>inhim>me

[The Central Scrutinizer]

What's your role, xdaamno?

[Xdaamno]

If we massclaim tomorrow, it should be done in this order:

sonicpulsar>fletcher>yogurt>adam>inhim>me

What's the fucking sense in lynching me

before

massclaiming >.<

[Xdaamno]

What's your role, xdaamno?

I've already said, vanilla

[The Central Scrutinizer]

You know, come to think of it, the fact that I'm a replacement in this game is really ironic.

[YogurtBandit]

You know, come to think of it, the fact that I'm a replacement in this game is really ironic.

Why?

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Has to do with my role name.

Let's just lynch x and move on.

[Xdaamno]

Don't like that. You were

waiting

for someone to ask why. What are you trying to do, distract people from my post?

[Fletcher]

At the moment, I'm curious how we already have 2 people voting for Xdaamno when we haven't even discussed IH's death. Seems awfully scummy.

FOS Fletcher and Adam

Did you read our posts?

Now if I was asked to roleclaim,

you're

suggesting I went with a bad name, i.e.

my own

name. Why wouldn't I use a safeclaim instead?

And if there's no safeclaims for scum, this game's quite unbalanced

I think you're wrong. We don't know for sure that it is all-stars vs non-all stars or else you would be lynched already.

Even if we were fairly sure that it is, indeed, all-stars vs. non all-stars there are plenty of reasons to not use a safe claim.
- It was day one and know one had really mentioned that idea whenever you claimed.
- To avoid counterclaiming someone.
- To avoid a rolename cop.

Of course I'm not saying this is necessarily the case, but I am willing to put it to the test.

If

I

were the cop and

I

had one living guilty or two living innocents,

I

would probably reveal such.

Same here.

sonicpulsar>fletcher>yogurt>adam>inhim>me

Why?

I don't understand why TCS did what he did. I mean I

understand

, but why?

You're contradicting yourself. The

only

significant reason anyone's voting me rests on the fact that it is all-stars versus non-stars. You can say my argument's wrong if it isn't that way, but then your argument would also be wrong. If your offence is correct, my defence

must

be correct. For my defence to be naturally wrong your argument would have to be naturally wrong too.
