Yeah YPM you've come out like you had a sure thing, but that's super loving ambiguous.

I think you need to back up the claim a bit more, and the fact you left out pertinent info seems suss as gently caress.

I'm not going after you though, all I've done is answered your questions and clarified some of your assumptions.


I said potential scumslip, it's a role heavy game and if we're looking at the meta poo poo the 3 Headed Knight isn't a member of the Round Table.

It's a logical conclusion is all, and I'll be keeping an eye on Shadow0 a lot more because of it.

This is dumb. There's only like, 6 members of the Round Table. Town's going to have a whole load of side characters to make up the numbers.

Nice attempt at distancing from my case on you by going after me I guess?

Rascyc, think about this logically, what benefit would scum have to do a 1 on 1 trade on day 1?

Like, if taste is town, then we lynch YPM and its just a 1 for 1 trade which really does not benefit scum at all.

There is literally no downside to testing YPM's claim.

Well sure, but the 3 Headed Knight actively tried to kill Brave Sir Robin. (Brave Brave Sir Robin)
If we're going the meta game it would be logical to at least keep a close eye on Shadow0 for claiming it.

There's a ton of side characters like "Sir Not Appearing In This Picture", Minstrels, the "Great Tracts of Land" King-guy, etc.

The experiment dude is Bedevere. I found one weird witch script on the internet where they refer to him as Vladimir instead, but it's Bedevere. I just rewatched the scene.

Not sure what to make of that.

Have to say there is no Vladimir in holy grail, could just be a mistake but i think it's a bit suspicious.

Please fill up the next few pages with useless bickering, that'll be real helpful later on.

this basically sums up most of what I'm reading through, goddamn. I agree with KB that this Kash/KK slapfight is a null tell - both of them do the whole kneejerk defensive thing, and it's tiring as poo poo to read.

A couple of things:

Tremendous Taste posted:

For whatever it's worth, I'm one of robin's minstrels. I'd assumed all vt would be the same. Perhaps that would be too easy a back door

Are these conflicting role claims/breadcrumbs from TT? There's an Arthurian scholar character in the movie, if I recall correctly.

CPig's jump to calling KK a lyncher is strange, since I haven't SEEN a lyncher in any of the mafia games I've followed on SA (and I follow them all). I wouldn't think they'd be in the forefront of anyone's mind.

Here are the notable reactions to the YPM claim:

KB, Kash, Friction immediately jump on it (though KB and Kash expand on their thought processes)
Infinitum and PMach ask for further clarification
Rascyc immediately dismisses it for no good reason

After YPM clarifies the stupid coconut experiment:

Kash and Infinitum immediately unvote
Rarity keeps their vote (but says it's not due to YPM's claim) - and so does CPig, but he later unvotes
Kash is like "well I guess TT probably won't be lynched now" which seems a bit premature

I want to know YPM's full flavor, Vladimir is not a character in Holy Grail (not to be confused with Sir Not Appearing In This Film) but their claim seems way too complex.

Rascyc is the person that comes out of this exchange looking the worst, for dismissing that claim out of hand when we had every reason to believe it - check their posts so far: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3771012&userid=131124
That's the exact same kind of wishy-washy playing-it-safe posting that I called him out for in the soldiers game, and he was scum there. Their case on Infinitum basically boils down to "I don't like their reaction to the mason claim, they did a puzzle, and they're ACTIVE but not PROACTIVE."

Rascyc, can you give me a read on your second strongest scum case after Infinitum? I'm not really following your thought processes, and want to make sure it's not just bias holding over from the soldiers game.

I somehow missed one last thought here that never made it to the post - Friction is looking a bit scummy to me, which is why I'm not full on condemning Rascyc because he caught it too.

Friction.123 posted:

You're being obtuse, but for what its worth I at least believe you are being sincere (and you brought some good points).

Unfortunately, no one is going to be willing to vote for a possible scum when between YPM and TT we have confirmed scum. The actual details of how YPM came to the conclusion are somewhat irrelevant (provided he definitely got a scum result and isn't misinterpreting his results). It is a dumb gambit for a scum to make on D1, as it definitely outs them on D2 at the absolute latest for only one mislynch. Later in the game? Sure, when a mislynch puts us at lylo or worse.

Buddying up in the first line, and taking a lynch of YPM or TT as granted on the second line while trying to squelch alternatives. This feels to me like scum trying to push what they know is a guaranteed mislynch.

If you got a n0 cop result on someone as scum, wouldn't you want to be open about it in case you get NKed before you can check your results? I get the worry about insanity, but eh. I feel like the benefits of outing scum d1 outweigh the possible risk of insanity - but at the same time, I would have WAITED so we had more interactions to check in hindsight.

I didn't know at the beginning of the process that I would have to leave one of them by the wayside. I am assuming that it is from my side that I had to leave CP out of the experiment, as a way of hovering my future experiments since I can't use CP for the rest of the game. I would guess that it will continue like that the next day (I will choose two people, choose a number, leave one of the people out of experiments permanently, and get some sort of result, whether it be cop or other role)

I don't like any of these posts at all on reflection.

First he posts alignment, then mentions insanity, then rolecopping abilities, and when pushed on the results they're so ambiguous he's practically lying in his initial post/vote on TT.
NOWHERE in those results does it say Scum.

I'm still relatively new to mafia games, but this almost feels like a 'Lynch all liars' scenario.

If what I'm doing is buddying up, then you must be buddying up to rascyc too. Oh and KB agreed with me earlier so he must be buddying up to me too, he must be scum.

The logic that a PR claiming to have found scum means either A) they are in fact a PR who found scum and we should lynch the person they found or B) they are lying scum and will be revealed as such when their target flips. Numerous people have shown how scenario B makes zero sense this early in the game.

There is a secret third scenario, where the PR is town who is either lying (which is very stupid) or does not fully understand their results.

Either way you're argument is terrible and I am starting to think you're scum. Actually that's a lie, you posted about wanting in to the mason doc earlier then vanished during the entire heated discussion of this morning which is not like you, and now you're making bad arguments against me.
