I'm only voting for him because he didn't have PMs. I'm trying to save somber the hassle of emailing. As we all know emails are a destructive time waster and should be eliminated from professional life as soon as possible.

Either that or i didn't see where he posted his email address and assumed he didn't even have a role yet.

heh.

There's a few names i don't recognise

Strong Mouse: first game

I am still here, though I guess I should try posting a bit more.

Yeah the key is just to post post post and not worry too much about analysing everything you say too far.

If you're town, you'll come across as honest and willing to help.

If you're scum, feel free to lurk and be awkward.


Captain Foo that is super rude. I like to know how experienced players are. Also i have never played a game of mafia in my life.

Thanks for answering my question chaoslorde!

I have a gut awkward reaction to chaos and Savahontas' conversation on this page. Reads like masons or scum trying to distance themselves.
I disagree with basically all of yuming's reads~

It seems pretty obvious that Elephants power has some correlation between saying a number a certain amount or luck or something. I take it some sort of numeromancer.

I hate numbers and maths so i'm gonna vote that guy ##vote Elephant

Also i can't tell how many posts people have made in this thread Radium!!! :argh:

yumming posts like this a lot, I think she has drawn conclusions i don't see but i don't find it scummy so far.

Captain Foo posted:

Seemed out of place now that we actually have real discussion going

Okay so i think what you're aiming at is "what post makes you feel elephant is scummy?" not "we don't have time to split the votes now!" which is how it came across to me.

I think it likely that some/all of us have some sort of posting/acting restriction in regards to our roles.

That big post above by chaoslord is one of the towniest posts i've ever read. I am not voting chaoslord today.

Elephant: I understand your stance but I disagree with it. Engaging with people in dialogue is fun, and the way to figure out their thought processes.

also i'm not voting for a nolynch on day1 that is the stupidest idea ever.

On further review, and as Captain Foo just said, this probably isn't scum. I'm keeping my vote unless something better comes around, as "possible genius scum" is a better vote, in my opinion, than not voting at all.

Scumpost imo.

You're too scared to vote for someone because it'll mean you have to think up a reason to create a case, and keep your vote on someone that "probably isn't scum" as opposed to literally anyone else who is "maybe scum maybe not scum" is scummy thinking.

Let's lynch elephant friends.

It's great and all we lynched a mafia but its kinda poo poo that the only person he mentions is yuming in one of his three posts and we have not much to go off today.
Sav: where do you think we should be looking today? I felt we were on the same wavelength yesterday but the shift from Elephant to scum tearshed has me rethinking.

Hi friends I'm going to be uber busy at work over the next couple of days :(

I can see the point of the Killsterik vote re: awkward d1 lynch vote, i'd be comfortably voting him at deadline.

busb
Mar 19, 2009

Thorgie
For future reference what i'm musing on at the moment:

I believe that if Elephant is scum, then the 2nd-4th early votes onto tearshed are where a scum would get on, sacrificing a lurker teammate with a not as useful role to keep a possibly more useful role in the game.
If Elephant is town, the later votes on tearshed would be the bussing scum.

tearshed's indict ability would have potentially been useful, so it's hard to know at this stage.

Elephant: You're wrong. Tearshed flipping scum is the only constant we have in this game to go off right now. If anything can be accurately determined it should be.

I'm not sure why you would be happy to say "That's really good analysis" considering it's only good analysis if you're scum. Are you scumclaiming?

Also missing from the voting is people abstaining from the vote altogether, a list which includes me i admit, but it's also quite likely that scum were not voting at all and hoping that the deadline would hit for a nolynch.

Somberbrero, can you please try to remember to paste a "Final Dayx votecount" before every flip? It really helps for going back to analyse votes.

People not voting for tearshed:
1) yuming
2) busb
3) savahontas
4) Chaoslord (not voting for anyone!)
5) Captain Foo
6) tearshed

What are you talking about? I literally talked about all three permutations and haven't even landed on one.

1) scum sacrificing tearshed for being a lurker and getting on the vote early to save elephant
2) scum realising that tearshed was going to happen and hopped on late for the townie cred
3) scum getting blindsided and not voting at all while hoping for a nolynch

They are the three scenarios that are most likely.
Sava i think you're town but this is a fools errand. FV thinks i'm doing it just as a distraction, you think i'm tunneling.

i mean we can look at what we can regarding a flipped scum with no content, ie the votes around him, or just spend today as a second Day 1 and lynch someone else. I honestly don't mind, Day1 is the best day so what say you?

Alright, I figured I was pretty much dead in the water at this point, but as long as I have an opportunity to claim i'll take it.

Hey fyi this isn't what town sounds like when they roleclaim. Scum usually "take the opportunity" to fakeclaim because they work on them and are excited to use them. Town are "forced to claim" because they know it has a high chance of rendering them useless.

This reads like scum POV for claiming to me, happy to lynch ##vote Kellsterik.
