Rarity posted:

Ok, let's think about this. For starters, we already know that Amnistar died N1, that Ernie was scum and that Dugong's claimed VT. There is not a single part of these results that couldn't be put together without information already given out in the thread. Now let's dive in a little closer.

Point 1: Met doesn't mention Ernie as a scum suspect on D1. Admittedly, he doesn't mention anyone as a scum suspect on D1 except for his vote on Somber and a casual mention of Toaster.

Point 2: This is the only mention of Ernie that Met makes on D2:


This is after Met has literally TRACKED ERNIE TO A NIGHT KILL. He doesn't even vote for him!

Point 3: These are Met's suspected scum on D2:


You know who isn't on there? Dugong!

Yeah, this claim is bullshit.

Hey, Dugong. Did you make any night actions on Night 2?

On Day 1, people were all over Ernie, so I tracked him. It looked like he killed Amni, but it could have been that demon he won on the Day 1 auction.

On Night 2, I went for someone not posting much because I was hoping to catch someone trying to fly under the radar. Dugong fit that quite well. He didn't do anything that night.

You guys are voting for a Tracker. Mind unvoting so someone doesn't get trigger happy until we get some confirmation from Dugong?

I assure you I'm a tracker. One more day to get some information. Either I'll get nightkilled by Scum or 3P (yay, I'm a dead townie without wasting a lynch on me), or I'll have information for the town (yay, innocence proven) or I'll have bupkis tomorrow and you guys know who you'll vote out then.

5 out of 8 scum members are dead. There's probably a 3P or two around. We have the numbers and either way, you'll have me dead tomorrow or information.

I can't help shake the feeling that if Met is telling the truth (and no one has CC'ed), then we're lynching the tracker. I'd rather let Met live and then quiz him about who someone visits next game day.

That doesn't mean he isn't scum, though - just that he didn't make the kill. There are theoretically a bunch of chaos scums still left.

While that may be true, we have absolutely no concrete information on a lot of players. We have the knowledge that Dugong didn't go anywhere last night. Dugong isn't as likely as the people we know nothing about.

Why did you do nothing to get Ernie lynched after TRACKING HIM TO THE NIGHTKILL?

As I said, it could have been his demon because Amni was looking bad and I thought he potentially could have used it to take him out.

He was already getting votes and I didn't see a need to blow my cover early just to get nightkilled right after for claiming an information-gathering role. It was ONE scum out of 6+ left to find.

You need to play more Mafia elsewhere. This is your meta. I play quick 20-minute games in SCII and Town of Salem. I've ran more games on forums than I've ever played. It's different styles clashing here and people are pretty rude about it.

Had you ever played Mafia with me on this forum, you'd know I generally skip the first day or two, depending on how interesting it gets.

You're right in that mafia here is very little like Town of Salem. The difference is mafia here requires you to read into a lot more and is deeper. That's mainly due to the length of the games. Why are you so adamantly against doing that?

This is a good plan. I'm either going to get more information for the town tomorrow or I'll be lynched then. Alternatively, I will be nightkilled for being an information gathering role.

If you lynch me now, a townie dies, then another townie or two dies overnight. I can still be useful to this game and I'll be on a short leash and under heavy scrutiny, not to mention the cop that will inevitably check me out at some point.

Maybe play better next time? Seriously, failing to engage with the game, especially after getting a tracking result of someone visiting the target of a night kill, is bad pool. I don't care how you play elsewhere, but that's just dumb.

No, that will get you nightkilled. Had I found someone on Night 2, you wouldn't even considered this line of thinking. Me looking like a lovely townie would have saved me from a random nightkill long enough to get the information.

You guys are going to lose a Tracker. I don't know how many other abilities are out there, but there's a lot of Vanilla townie claims. You can continue to risk your guessing method where scum will be influencing things or you can risk a single day on me so I can get more concrete information for us. You have most of a scum team and 3P to find still. How wise is it to go after an information-gathering role?

Look at the arguments against me.

Rurea posted:

Like Rarity said, this is just a list of players and what they've done. There aren't any real reads here in this list. I bolded parts that stood out to me specifically that are awkward and give me bad vibes. You say you don't do reads that well but you don't really even attempt to make any. This post is so wishy-washy that I cant tell if you are trying to fake content or you are just really lost and don't know what to do.

People who are active will get knocked out because they will draw the attention of the scum. Mills or TT were likely killed by the other scum team on Night 1 because they were both prolific in their posting. Go under the radar, look like just another name to scroll past. Survive to get more information another night.

Rarity posted:

He claimed VT the day after I checked him out. It's not great for my case but you're using it to assume guilt. That's not logical. It's just bad luck for me.

and then there was this post from me:

Met posted:

Let's do it like Popcorn!

Popcorn Dugong!

Tell me, Dugong, what your read on everyone is.

I knew Dugong didn't use an ability the night before. I had a good guess he was a vanilla townie then. I even said he was probably a vanilla townie in my list of living players right above this post. He's one of the few people I trust to give a reasonable read without potentially being a scum intentionally pushing blame on a townie.
