This looks like a fake read to me. Logically, if you don't know AA's alignment, you wouldn't put him on your list because you shouldn't be making connections to unflipped players.

If AA DOES flip scum, then his mentioning FL is a nulltell - he could be doing it to confirm a town member (obvious for wifom), he could be doing it to give a pass to a scum member (ballsy but possible). In that case, he wouldn't be on your town list, right?

The ONLY WAY I am seeing you look at this and going "well FL is probably town because why wouldn't we trust AA" is if you believed AA was the cop - and that not only goes against your entire thread of working up to voting for him, but even if you TRULY TRULY BELIEVED him, as town that's always like 99%, and then you would be saying "I believe AA and I therefore believe FL is town unless AA flips scum."

There's no way you word it the other way; that's weird as hell, contradicts your apparent line of thought, and contradicts basic mafia logic. Sorry buddy.

No. This isn't true. I am a logical player. I am mentioning all the information available that affects things. If I'm wrong about AA and he flips town then FL is confirmed town and it is silly to leave him off the list. If I'm right, then it could go either way and he is no longer on the town list. He was on the town list because I would consider him town and not vote for him unless I am proved right on AA.

Like, what you are saying in the post doesn't even make sense to me. I don't understand where you are coming from at all. We have to work with all the information available to us even if we don't currently agree with it so that we can appropriately address it.

If his alignment is based solely on another person's alignment, and that person is unflipped, you should not be making a hard alignment call on him, and I don't see why you do.

I can understand why you would maybe think AN is potentially town since you agreed with her about something but you haven't mentioned her or interacted with her at all for a full game day and that's weird as hell.

You are ignoring my points about not actually committing to Inf at all yesterday and responding around it. Please show me where you unequivocally said that Inf was scum yesterday, so much so that you felt you had to point out to us how suspicious of him you were.

You do a very good job on D1 of not really committing to Inf at all, then turn around on D2 and act like you were suspicious of him all day. IF that is true, you did not show your work. People can read your D1 post history and see that, easily.

I do not think that is true.

I mean, I can at least understand why you aren't crediting me on this, but can YOU put yourself in my shoes and see how I could mean exactly what I said I meant? Sitting in an airport, posting from my phone with limited words where I can. I clarified later to MMT when on an actual keyboard that I agreed with all of it.

Because you don't ignore a claimed cop until you have proof that you should? This doesn't seem like rocket science to me. Like seriously, even in games where people believe the cop sometimes they will flip the cop just to prove things out. You are being really illogical here.

How is it weird for me to not have interacted with her when she doesn't actually post that much and I've been gone from the game for most of the day? Like, seriously, if I applied your logic to YOUR posting this game I could come up with all sorts of crazy theories. You are being wacky.

Best votes: Infin, AR, AA, MG.

OK, so Infin is the best vote, and presumably her #1 by looking at this. What does she think about him?

quote:

Infin misrepresented his role initially.

Mhmm, mhmm, mhmm, scummy scummy.

quote:

However, I understand that as a boss he wants others bosses dead, and if he really is town aligned, he might believe that no rival bosses are as well.

...or maybe not? Towny towny? Off the hooky?

quote:

Currently he has it in his head that adahn is a scum boss, though I feel there's insufficient evidence to back this up on both counts.

...is this scummy or not? Adahn isn't on the best vote list, but...this...this isn't a commitment...there's no comment...

quote:

Most of the points in his case are plainly wrong or super reaching.

Oh so he is scummy!

quote:

I would very much like to kill him for poor casing and arguably anti-town play.

...ok...that's not a great reason, but he's scummy for being anti-town, right?

quote:

For mechanics reasons, I'm not sure it's a great idea to kill a boss today though. I'm open to discussing this.

Oh I see, you have no opinion.

And you agreed with this and used it as your proof as to how you were 'on inf all day.'

That isn't how I read that at all. I read that as "Inf is super scummy. But I'm not sure now is the time to go after bosses." I mean, that is an oversimplification obviously, but that was the gist I took from it and what I was agreeing to at that point.

It's a problem people have in mafia where they think sometimes it has to be all or nothing. It really doesn't. There were logical reasons not to pursue inf yesterday so even though some of us thought he might be scummy we avoided the issue.

It is VERY easy to sit on a high horse after the fact with hindsight, but I still think we made the right call not to go after Inf yesterday.

Ok, skimmed most of the last posts because I saw people were voting.

So, you guys think that AA is a mafioso who got a chance to participate in the shine lottery, and instead of choosing a useful role to scum, he picked one of the most useful roles for town?

Also, none of the town players picked cop as a shine role, since he's not been counterclaimed.

That's idiotic. It means AA is an idiot, and every town player who was in the lottery is an idiot. Is it possible? Sure? But we also don't even know if mafiosos could participate in the lottery.

I'm fine being lynched this game. Don't have anything to lose and I'm not scum so my death might be useful albeit wasted.

In regards to this post, it followed my drunk night and suspicion was building up on me. Given that I was a shine cop with 1 shine, I expressed honestly the stance I still stand by. Fine with dying because in contrast, we can look at who pushed it, their reasoning and decide if they're scum or not. The odds of me copping scum n1 were about the same odds of jake reckless vigging one. So why is it a big deal to make that statement? I think KB os just trying to imagine he's caught me in something, because it's truly not being caught in anything. Heat built up on me, I made a defensive statement that expressed my alignment and hinted I was fine going, but had a useful role.

In regards to copping Flying Leatherman, I play by my own book which isn't the best. I thought FL was a scum trying to coast by making just enough posts to avoid lurking rules and the bandwagony me too notions you made pinged me, in hindsight shoukd have copped tq, kb or anarc.

Bringing Shine into Chicago was one of the trickiest operations the Outfit had ever pulled off, especially with the cops dogging their heels thanks to all the stories that had come out of New York City. It called for more bribes - and the occasional 'accident' here and there - than the Outfit had ever had to handle before.

Despite all that, Capone didn't seem to mind the effort. He claimed it would all be worth it in the end, but refused to elaborate when asked.

Thanks, Quid, for pointing out that KB also hedged on lynching a boss.

Infinitum's play D1 was exceedingly scummy, and both TQ and KB advocated against lynching him for 'mechanics reasons' that don't make a whole lot of sense.

Dongs is dead, as is Infinitum, and I think it's likely that the remaining boss is third party. Thanks to dongs, we have a list. I'll use this as an opportunity to make a suggestion.

Choose your night kills wisely, boss. If, in addition to the mafia kill we see some scummy players disappear each night, well, maybe we'll continue to keep you on the back burner.

We don't know your win condition, but it could be compatible with ours.

Happy hunting!
