Ok, back to Hurt's vig.

yuming posted:

Amni feels like a shot out of the blue and it's weird/makes me suspicious of Hurt.

I looked back and Hurt hadn't had a chance to post much so far. His interaction with Amni was really the only one he'd had with somebody so I can see that while for us it looked more random, to him Amni would be sticking out more so I'll give him that. Beyond that, yuming's right that the vig came out of nowhere so for me it's hard to get a real good read on it. I'm not sold on Hurt being town but I'm not confident he's scum so ##vote Ghostly feels better today.

And while I remember, Meinberg I don't think you ever showed me an example of capps being clear and concise.

Max posted:

My move last night was take a chance and not blow the investigation yet in the hopes that I don't get NK'd just yet. The second quote you posted is what I thought at night, which was that there were enough good leads that I could hold off. Likewise, for the protection, I didn't have a clue beyond maybe I would be targeted for the kill, so I chose not to use that as well.

Then I saw PMom was targeted as the kill when the day started and was surprised by that choice. Someone else said it's probably because getting Pmom lynched seemed difficult, which is why they were taken out. I know it's kinda useless to figure out why someone may have been targeted, but I had a quick thought that maybe the scum figured I would use the investigation on PMom, find he was town, and say so the next day? Honestly, I'm probably overthinking it, and they could have just as easily targeted me in that scenario, unless they were scared they blow a nightkill on someone who is likely protected.

I dunno. That's how I worked it out in my head. I still chose not to use anything last night.

I still think you made a mistake here, but I can't reconcile your claimed play as a scum fakeclaim.

I can see a scum fakeclaiming JOAT. I can't see scum then claiming to not use the JOAT powers; the JOAT claim gives a mask for scum to do what they want at night. If scum fakeclaimed JOAT, they would use that fakeclaim. Ironically, because of the mistake I think you made in not using the powers last night, you also look like town.

EXAKT Science posted:

I was willing to give you a chance because it was a plausible claim. I don't like it today because you claim to have not used your cop investigation and I really don't see a good motivation for your not doing so. Like I said, worst case scenario, assuming you're telling the truth about having the cop in the first place, you hit a townie and we have one person we don't have to worry about for the time being.

Yes, it was a bad move. But what motivation would scum have for claiming to have not used it? It's the perfect smokescreen for scum to be seen moving at night.


Ok, after reading through it, I have two thoughts. First, there's a major change in how Ghost has approached today versus D1. It's a shift from one extreme (a vote on Max that he couldn't be bothered to defend) to the other (case everyone, but in ways that don't seem internally consistent with each other). For instance, look at Rarity, Hurt, and yuming. In all three, he mentions soft posting of some sort, and yet treats them differently when discussing them. Or look at the discussion around capps, Max, and me, the three high post leaders, and notice how he mentions a lot of things we're all doing and then drawing different conclusions from each. I think he felt obligated to make the post, that over night a scumbro told him "You need to make more cases" and he took it to the far extreme. And because he felt obligated, it comes out sounding fake when you compare how he treats one person versus another.

Second, look at the formatting of that post. It's written in a way that would make sense if it came from a Google sheet, with where the breaks are in it. Because the line breaks are not the same for each paragraph. If it was Word or a text file, even with hard returns the breaks would be in the same place for each. I think he wrote this is in a sheet with each part in a separate column with different column widths, and the only reason to type this up in a Google sheet and not Word or notepad is if you're sharing it with others.

I said I think it heavily involves Dr. Hurt in some sort of way and there's two ways to see it. One would be scum wanting to force their hand or shine light on the vig issue and make PMom flip. Alternatively, like you pointed out (but I think is less likely) is where scum are scared of a janitored vig. That would involve Dr. Hurt bussing his own teammate beforehand. There is the 3rd option of Hurt being town and the kill not involving him in the thought process at all. I don't see it.

My thought process is not conflicted at all if that's what you're trying to spin. I just think it heavily involves Hurt and think there is far more chance of the former happening. Bussing is nowhere out of the realm of possibility, albeit unlikely I feel right now.

I'm not spinning anything. You're literally saying that either scum killed PMom to implicate Hurt, or Hurt bus-shoot Amni. It leaves you open to vote Hurt while making a town call on him due to perceived scum intentions; if Hurt flips town, you now can say you were right but if need be you're still able to reference the bus and vote him.

Deadbeat Dad posted:

GG has read mostly town to me up until that mega-post. Scum always do that megapost. I've sworn on it for years. But usually it's in different context - GG has been pretty active. I've seen lurking scum use it a lot as a way to catch up and act like they're putting in mega-work when they're just puking opinions. GG has been active in discussion and is a newer player so it's not as worrisome but I still don't those posts in general.

And here's another waffling post. "Scum always... but..."

As I explained at the end of the day yesterday, I felt really strongly that Amni and Hurt's interactions read as fake.

The shot came out of nowhere.

I've had such a strong feeling that this kill was orchestrated. It's the strongest feeling I have, so I'm voting with it.

I'd prefer to test out Hurt via something other than a lynch, considering he shot scum D1. Could it be a bus? Yes. Do I see any reason to lynch him for it? No.

This is risky as hell but it does make me feel more confident about your claim being legit cause I think scum would just fake a town reading on somebody.

Rarity posted:

I don't understand the difference between Asii and Exakt here. Surely your read on Asii is based on her posting, cause that's all we have to go on. I also don't like how hedgey it is.

Like I pointed out before, Ghost has several places where he makes distinctions between people for no reason I can see. I think it's because the things he is saying are fake and he's not able to keep a consistent mentality in his casing.

What, did you keep resizing the notepad window after each pieces was written? If you were hitting enter at the edge of the window, there should be a ruler's edge beyond which the text doesn't extend that is consistent the whole way down. Your size isn't consistent, so either you were using different sized windows for each, or you're lying.

Saying "you're waffling because you're leaving the door open to them being town/scum" is such a black and white and straight out wrong way to look at mafia. Unless there is a confirmed town, I'm never going to feel comfortable with any player.
