Quid, where are you at? It's been almost 3 days since you posted at all and 6 since you were really active.

fiery_valkyrie posted:Hey Hal, I was just about to send out the search dogs for you and Quid. Glad to see at least one of you is alive. I'm not sure why you are giving Hal a pass for only showing up to give a defense of himself, while at the same time being annoyed kaschei did it. Also it's Day 3. I waited two nights to see if anyone would visit me but got nothing. I don't see how it's convenient now that the cop and doctor are dead because I would never expect them to out themselves to confirm a weird self-watcher role. I would also never out them either. That's the hard part of my role and why I said that I'm not sure how to play it. The only way I see it could be useful would be to get visited and then watch for that person to later make a fake claim. Except I would imagine scum would claim something other than VT to account for possible watchers/trackers. Sorry I don't know how to be effective? Assuming I'm telling the truth and this is my role, how would you have played it? Hal Incandenza posted:Asiina, old friend, I only post in bursts because I'm currently engaged in a cross-country drive where I spend most of the day behind the wheel which I find isn't conducive to playing mafia, then I generally fall asleep as soon as I stop. I probably should have asked for a replacement but I haven't asked for one in 234 games or whatever so I hate to break that streak. Okay so first of all I never said it was an excuse to act scummy. I very specifically said that I was not trying to act scummy, just be active. Asiina posted:For the record I wasn't trying to act scummy specifically, although I was trying to be active and get some attention so that people might think of me for their night actions on either side. Second, I think it's easy to target anyone who isn't on a turbo or doesn't want a turbo as saying they have knowledge of the flip when you know you're not going to get any flak for being wrong on a D1 turbo. I think you knew this and set it up before Foo flipped so that you could go back and point fingers at people. Also I'm not picking on you because you've been absent, c'mon now. Most of the people here have been absent. Quid and kaschei have barely posted anything either. That's a really lazy excuse to dismiss my case, even in part.

Asiina posted:I will drag some content out of this game if it kills me. I'm on. But, I don't know that us chatting accomplishes anything. I had resolved not to post until some of the super lurkers came forward since I was sick of being one of the only active folks. At least until closer to deadline. Since you prompted me to post though, my current feelings haven't changed much: Zebu still seems scum to me, he didn't come forward with any response to my last call out on him. He is unwilling to back up his claim with research. But he has been to the thread and answered FV. Scum. Hal's response to you sounded like a bunch of bullshit to me, so he's probably still my #2. Although again, he's right that you seem scummy, but I'm still choosing to believe your claim. I'm currently thinking FV is town. I'm starting to get really worried about my town read on Quid given his continued absence. It is looking more and more suspicious. If he hasn't posted by tonight I'll probably be willing to change my tune on him. I still can't read Kasch at all, but there isn't much to work with. I always think lurkers are scum, so I could be swayed here, for the same reasons I might be swayed on Quid. Has anyone else played with him before? Is this how he always is, or is this unusual?

Quid's level of activity is not really indicative of alignment. He posts plenty as scum if he has the time to. The best way to tell his alignment is either to press him and see how he reacts, or sometimes you can tell from his tone. He can be very aggressive and pushy as scum.

I guess I would do nothing in particular with your role, it seems sort of pointless in this game. I don't even get why you claimed at this point. I also don't know what else to say about your case on me. It seems to be based on me not saying much (not a scumtell for me) and you thinking I'm "fake" when I say people defending Foo are suspicious even though I provided reasoning.

King Burgundy posted:Man, I still think you are putting words in my mouth/lying about my positions. Can you quote where I felt THAT strongly about Quidnose that it seemed like this amazing sudden turnaround when I called him towney? You may want to pay attention to timestamps and the other relevant conversation at the time too. I'd appreciate it if you did the research this time rather then misremembering things(if that is what is really happening). You're saying that I accused you of an "amazing sudden turnaround" and a "witch hunt" and asking me to justify those accusations, when what I said was "you sort of flipped over from having serious questions about quid to feeling pretty good about quid without any clear reason". I think you're mischaracterizing me pretty badly. I guess you could claim that your questions about quid weren't "pretty serious" but this seems like hair splitting to me. Anyway, when I first read this post, my reaction was to think that my read is wrong and you're probably not actually scum, mostly because of how angry you're getting and how personally you're taking things. It doesn't feel made up to me. I didn't say anything at the time, probably because I didn't want to give up on my read, but that's no way to play. ##unvote Now I'm not sure where I'm at. I don't know wtf to make of kaschei's case on opop yesterday. I kind of assumed it was an inside joke that was going over my head. The point about the convenience of asiina's claim coming only after we lost the cop and doc has me wondering. If it was meant to throw people off of her, it did at least deflect me and burgundy. I'm suspicious of Quidnose (his D1 posting reads like a wall of noise to me) but there's not a lot to go on. Still, I think he's my best candidate. ##vote quidnose

fiery_valkyrie posted:I agree that the timing on Asiina's claim is quite convenient now that the doc and cop are dead. I also don't like that both Asiina and GZ seem to have really insubstantial opinions on each other, since I am suspicious of the both of them, eg I don't get this - what does Asiina gain as scum with this claim? A self-watching scum would make sense, but why even bother announcing this with both the cop and the doc gone? I don't really get why Asiina decided to announce it other than being frustrated at being useless, but I really don't think it was for townie cred. In a game with the 3p dead and no flipped scum, this is not scum play to me.

I probably should have asked for a replacement but I haven't asked for one in 234 games or whatever so I hate to break that streak. Again, with not getting Asiina's claim as a scum move, I don't like how much emphasis Hal is putting on this. Like, an entire paragraph about nothing other than "your claim is suspicious." It's far too many words. I have meta "me & Hal have played a bunch of games together" reasons for not liking his callout on me, but that is probably less interesting to everyone. I would probably be OK with a Hal vote based on how fake this post feels.

Yeah, Zebu calls me out as marginally suspicious once and then never mentions me again, and never comes back to that beyond "I had a wall of noise." And his vote on me is waffling to the extreme. "I mean, I don't think he's scum, but I don't really have any other people, so vote." Lazy. ##vote Zebu

fiery_valkyrie posted:So he has a legit excuse but you didn't remove your vote? What? He has a legit excuse for inactivity, but that sure as hell doesn't make him town. I'm an easy target because I changed my tune on kb, but I'd rather be blamed for waffling than try to stand behind a case I don't believe any more. Quid just waltzed in and decided to capitalize on my change in position, blatantly misquoting me in the process. He also laid down a nice "Hal has too many words" backup plan in case that didn't work out. I'm fine with my vote where it is.

I just want to point out that Zebu has been at -1 for a long time. I'm assuming there are only 2 or so scum in this game based on how small the game is and that we also had a 3P. (someone can correct me if that is a bad assumption) Based on that, even if no other town jumped on this vote, if Zebu was town, I would have expected a scum hammer to finish him off. Since we haven't gotten one, to me that indicates we are probably very much on the right track. Bottom line is either 2 of the 3 votes on him right now are scum, which I view as SUPER unlikely given that I know I'm town and I felt pretty good about the other two OR Zebu himself is scum as well as one of the non voters(Kasch, Hal, or Asii) Asiina has told us how she feels about Zebu previously, but Kasch and Hal have not. I'll point out here also that Kasch came back to the thread to congratulate Quid, but still hasn't said anything useful at all to town in at least 5 real life days.

I am feeling pretty neutral about Zebu, but I'll be out most of the day today, so I can hammer if Kaschei or Hal doesn't say anything so we don't miss it. I have to go to the grocery store and will be back briefly in a few hours. If there's still nothing, I'll hammer.

The boy was nearing his window! His trek was almost complete! Why was he walking to the window? Is it a mystery that the author will reveal later? MAYBE! Is it a mystery with an answer that's already been determined? Probably not. WHO CARES! The important thing is that he just stepped on another brick. THE PAIN! It's a Red 2x4 Bri... Wait a second. Wait just a freakin' second. The boy picked up the brick and studied it closely. This worksmanship...this...this is garbage! This looks downright Canadian! This must be from that cheap knockoff brick box that Uncle Lester gave him, so many summers ago. The pain in his foot was just as real as the pain in his heart.  greatZebu - Red Megablok, Megablok-Aligned Roleblokker - was stomped on Day 3! quote:Every night, you may submit a player's name and prevent them from taking action. Alternately, you may submit your team's nightkill. Night 3 begins now! Night actions in whenever you can, please - within 24 hours.

Pausing for a moment, the boy picked up another toy. He looked at it closely, glaring. "This is another one of Uncle Lester's cheap toys! ... I think?" He angrily tossed it away. He thought...wrong.

Super stoked at my first actual Mafia kill. Yay. I'm thinking it is between Hal and Kasch. I'm currently willing to vote either before the deadline. Since it only takes 3 votes to lynch now, I'm holding off on voting until people say some stuff. Does anyone disagree with my earlier opinion on number of scum left? Are we down to 1? If there were somehow still two left, we are at Lylo. If it is one, we could make one more mistake.

I will have to reread Hal, since I haven't paid much attention to him this game, but this post reads to me like GZ trying to deflect attention from him. greatZebu posted:I read Hal as saying that he wouldn't have tried to turbo Foo if he'd done something notably townie, but since he hadn't Foo was fair game. That seems like a straightforward explanation to me (although i think the whole "rush of the turbo" thing is silly). I'm not sure what you're looking for, and this line of questioning seems like "hey everybody look I'm investigating" posturing that doesn't actually help clarify anything. And then he starts his push here on KB after KB votes Hal. greatZebu posted:What I really don't like about this (aside from the way you're just retelling merk's votes without adding anything about your own thinking explaining why you find them persuasive) is the way you're implicitly making a list of people to kill that we should start making our way through. And you're doing it without even really arguing against any of the people on the list.
