Hmm, is ST doing this as mafia out of revenge, or is he town and actually thinks that muddled mess actually holds some merit... I can't see why he has ignored me this whole time up until now.
I also can't see him actually doing this as mafia either...
unvote ST

hmmm, gunna have to reread again.

@ hephaestos: I see sabby as being associated with ST, per LInkz's argument. Therefore there is no reason for me to want to switch a bunch of people from one to the other.


However, ST does seem to be putting in a pretty good defense. He could just be mafia doing his best, of course, but there's also the point someone (TOS?) made that it would be devastating if hat and Linkz are both mafia and we let them both live.

I really don't see any chances for a vote of someone other than ST or Linkzmax. I will consider switching, but not right now, because I have to go and I don't want to do a snap decision.

see my biggest beef about you right now is that all you do is refer to other's words.

Your play is utterly unproductive, you just parrot and add semi conclusions.

1) This jumped out at me as rolefishing, but from my point of view I was the only one doing anything so far today. So I let it sit unmentioned, hoping somebody else would do something and at the same time confirm my suspicions as well.

And yet we did have night info from hat, so my surprise was well founded (....or did we?)

2) Between this and the fumble comment, I get the impression that you're glad the spotlight has been shifted from ST to the two of us.

fumble was a reference to me last round, I recall using the same term at one point about me outing stefl and myself... here Hat had just said "Oh I might be a crasy cop"... ousting himself (in theory)

3) This comes off more as wondering how big of a threat hat is than curiousity of the claim fitting balance-wise.

Why did you delete my fristly of (4) since it had a relation to this? I think he's not a full fledge cop as you say (below) so yeah it doesn't fit.

4) It's weird that you said "with your role known" and then switch to being unsure of the role. Even I know hat is saying he's a full-on Cop, but he mentioned at one point that he thought he might have sanity issues. Now that this is the third time you've mentioned radish being powerful for town it's pretty clear to me that you have some kind of indication how powerful the mafia are, or rather aren't. Otherwise, with no scum flipped there's no telling how strong they are and how strong town is to compensate.

 

"with your role known" means that since he already claimed something in the area of cop, the only people he's hurting with lack of clarity is the town, the mafia already have him as a target. So with the assumption that he didn't lie so far, he should be a lot more cooperative.

If it's so clear, then I want him to say it, not hint at it.

 5) Sanity isn't always clarified upon death, and yes that is an important detail.

That is why cop is a safer fake claim than one might think...

6) While I agree that sabby's absence is bothersome, and I've already given a couple of other reasons why I have him as my number two suspect, I really question how you can be neutral on ST given his dissappearance from the game after my case against him and prof's question. I know I'm putting the cart before the horse, but I think you want to be on the train with no momentum in hopes that neither is actually lynched. And later on if sabby is lynched, you can say "See I was on scum anyway."

Bottom line is I feel like you're discouraged that you got stuck with two people that sort of pointed the finger at you due to mutual omission. I appreciate you staying active though and trying to make the best of it.

Since I folow Sabby the 6 day goner, ST doesn't quite appear innactive to my eyes (isn't vet longer out than ST too?). Add ABC who just pops in and out...

mutual omission? you mean the trucks thing? then surely I should have stayed quiet instead of pooring a bit of tar on ST no? if I recall, at the time he was barely focused on.

7) I don't believe my roleclaim would be helpful for town. I see no harm in a nameclaim though; however, unfortunately I don't see it being helpful either. I'm Steve Wiebe.

Currently there is a claim that I am town by me. Either hat is lying(which I don't think is the case) or I've already explained how he could have gotten a guilty result when I should be innocent.

I'll reveal this on myself... my character is fictional. So I find it very odd that both you and Hat claimed live characters. Is it because of Radish's absence of a character and Baal's emo singer flip? Still I also know just from the 2 flips and my name that this is very random indeed.

 

1) Well founded(or not) surprise or not, it still came across as role fishing. Until recently I can only recall you being focused on sabby and haven't seen any scumhunting. Your list from two days ago(yes it was after the "lack of night info" post) reads as though you're neutral or have a town read on everyone else.

3&4) First, I'm not sure what you're referencing as me deleting. I wasn't talking about you clarifying the role or the name. It is important for town since hat has already basically known, to be perfectly clear. It does town no help though to know if there are any limitations.

5) Cop would still be a bold fakeclaim from scum, but there can be a lot of reward to the risk as well.

6) I think Vette has been absent longer,(especially true now) and has made some connections/odd comments which puts him on the slightly scummy side of my list. However, Vette also didn't dissappear after being provided with a requested list of reasons someone thought he was scum.

Yes, I mean when they both mentioned TOS and not you. See I think you were forced to mention it either way. If you hadn't, then it was surely going to be pointed out anyway and unless it had been a timing thing where you didn't have a chance to point it out, then I for one would have suspected you more. As it is, you pointing it out is a null-tell in my book.

7) I claimed a live character, because that is what I received in my PM. I'm not sure what you're getting at with the randomness bit.

I've been dropping hints since day one. You guys are slow.

I cannot believe you guys don't want to vote linkz. This is ridiculous. I know ridiculous is thrown around like a baseball in baseball season, but this is the definition of ridiculous.

I am ioi, entrepreneur and founder of VGC.

There's my effing nameclaim, now do your part and hang Linkz.

I was thinking blacksaber, you said you did the assraping, which kind of threw me off.

Anyway, I want to get back to your tangle with Linkz. You said something about you possibly being a crazy cop. FF should have picked up right away that you were claiming cop. My beef is that you actually seem doubtful about your role. I don't like the "maybe I'm a crazy cop" bit. BUT, there hasn't been a counter-claim and this would be one of those situations where cop counter-claim is obligatory.

I don't like what you said because you shouldn't get a free ride. If Linkz does indeed show up as town, we're in a weird predicament.

However, your claim also fits into that part about where you said that someone should investigate prof or (was it ST?), and kill some other players whose names I dont remember. I countered by saying you might be going to kill, to softclaim vig later, to which you responded that I should keep my hole shut.....This kind of makes me think I was close enough to what you were doing that it provoked that reaction. However.... you didn't even investigate either of those two people, am I right?

So, it's hard to believe either way what you are or your affiliation. You could indeed be a crazy cop, and that's not something I'd like to test with a lynch.

I'm just running myself around in circles now...

I'd say we should give it another night. You target another player and see what the result is. And we go from there. The possible outcomes is that you are protected or you are killed. In either case we have a much better idea about who to go after.

Additionally, I am a little surprised that linkz hasn't prodded me further..

This may come down to a coin flip.

I wasn't expecting ioi either, because once again I fail to see how that is random.

I don't like the "crazy cop" bit either, because I have a slight feeling it was suggested as a pre-emptive defense in case I'm lynched for when I flip town. It's not necessary for someone else to claim cop though for hat to be Insane, as the presense of a Tracker, Watcher, LD, Thief, etc. would also support the "weakening" of a traditional cop. If there is a cop counter-claim they should step forward, but I'm not asking for anyone to come out as one of those roles. Simply asking that they keep that in mind.

If hat changed his mind from investigating you or ST, it would make sense given the suspicion voiced during twilight. I'm not questioning his choice of me as a target, though that could have been a set up.

Given no protection role(s) is already dead, I would normally disagree with not testing the claim today; however, since I know I am town that would be problematic. I think the idea of giving hat another night is best. You haven't mentioned the possibility of a scum roleblocker, but since nobody has claimed to be roleblocked, there's a good chance they don't have one. hat is a shoe-in for protection as the only claimed power, so it's unlikely he'll be killed.

As for me prodding you more, I usually wait til later with you because I always have such trouble reading you. The only interactions that haven't sat well with me were the ones between yourself and hat earlier. I currently have a town read, and your caution of hat's claim only enforces that further. I also think I have the scumteam pegged, in ST, sabby, and Heph(unmentioned until now, but I'll explain in the next post) so I haven't looked too strongly at anyone else.


Listen, I have a pool party to get through but I'm gonna make this quick. I challenge anyone to counter my name and character. No one can ...

You're latching onto everyone's ideas because they're retarded enough to question me, which fucking furiating me btw!

As for the crazy copy claim [and this goes to prof, heph as well], at the time, it was nothing more than an excuse to throw the word "adjustments" out there, as another hint. and if you played with me long enough, you'll know I entetained the idea of the crazy cop because I was a crazy cop in a previous game, and I refused to believe I was crazy which lead to one chaotic game.

 

[edit]

You make it seem as if I'm trying to say you aren't ioi or a cop. I do not doubt either claim, but I wouldn't say either the name or role is random as you put it. That is all.

Some of the ideas were my own or even your own. Nor am I simply latching onto ideas. This is twice now that you've demonstrated you aren't even reading my posts. That's pretty furiating too.

So you didn't actually mean anything you said at that time, and we're merely toying with me for the sake of another hint? Why did you feel the need to drop so many hints anyway? I think I know which game your refering to, and I'm glad you've learned not to be so stubborn. /sarcasm

Wasn't available because I went over for a sleepover to my cousin's house for 4 days since his internet went bust. I was online yesterday by checking on my phone but couldn't post.

Also Hephaestos, why do you think I'm Mafia? Fyi, I didn't "want" Radish to kill someone, but said it would be interesting if he did and realised it was a premature statement. I didn't think Radish was Mafia nor did I jump on the bandwagon unlike some. But then again he did have it coming for acting incredibly stupid.

Also would like to know why Linkz think I'm a certain Mafia.

As I said in twilight after day one:

I don't like the way the way Radish is playing the game but I don't find him that suspicious. He certainly does seem a bit big headed. Saying what he did is a typical Mafia mistake attempting to gain sympathy from the Town. Of course this could be used against him in the future if need be.

The way I'm reading it is sabby planned on using what radish said to get him lynched in the future. 

Others have mentioned it too and you never explained it.

You also contradicted yourself:

Right now, I don't care if Radishead gets lynched but it would be interesting to see if he actually "kills" someone if he's on the brink of being lynched.

[snipped]

[snipped]

Agreed,  and  Sabby had put up a small defense for Radish before that post as well,  but now he claims he doesnt care.  What changed in the matter of a few posts


When did I say I don't care? As for my other comment, it was a premature comment, I didn't think it over properly considering there is a possibility of a Mafia vigilante (although not in this small game) and if he randomly kills someone then the town is more likely to suffer.

And lastly, you've displayed a few similar patterns to ST. It'd be pre-mature to suspect you both based on that before a flip, but I was already suspicious of you both beforehand and that just increases the scumminess a bit in my eyes. As a note, I was trying to trap Heph into saying something about me and this thought process, but he didn't fall for it.

I do feel less sure about your lynch, but I still think it'd be a successful one.

Silver-Tiger said:

Which part of my comments left you with a scum vibe?

Besides what I perceived to be slip:

1.)You FoSed TOS for 'bandwagoning' without doing the same for Heph, who by his own admission was pretty much just like TOS.(And wouldn't you know Sabby did the same thing)

2.)While there was a decent amount of discussion going on and you were a fair contender for getting lynched, you point to Baal and Sabby as being suspicious. Especially now that Baal has flipped town, it feels like trying to redirect town's focus.

3.)You took the 'safe and easy' No Lynch route, and your explanation for waiting doesn't feel genuine. If you wanted to vote a day earlier, then you should have. Unless you were going to hide afterwards like you accused Baal of doing, then there's nothing that would have stopped you from commenting or voting differently if "something meaningful" came up.

4.)You felt the need to say absolutely nothing after radish was chastised for it.

With the reread and more thinking on your hesitation to vote radish, the thing that stands out most is:

radishhead said:

 Of the people that have voted me, I may have to choose one of you to prove my loyalty to the town.

5.)Now my belief is you hesitated to vote because you wanted radish to kill one or more of the people voting him. I would guess there was at most 1 mafia on that lynch before hat hammered, which would give you good odds of a townie being killed and radish still being lynched as a consequence. I'll admit that my reasoning is somewhat circular since I also believe sabby is scum and so this theory would fit perfectly, but even if it were 2 mafia and 4 townies on the lynch it's still more likely than not that an extra townie would die.

6.)Finally, http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4126238 and http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4126375 are so horrible. First, what is "My analysis was based on the fact that it is important to me has such behaviour, although it doesn't matter yet for me." supposed to mean? Next, Baal being dead only proves your point if Baal was chosen for being quiet and being a probable power role, and not because Baal was unlikely to be protected or watched as TOS pointed out, which you could only know if you were mafia. Then you bring me up, which I'm assuming is trying to buddy up to me as a means of convincing me I've got the wrong read. Fat chance, I'd say you're hoping that post will be used against me down the line. Lastly, there seems to be way too much repetition that the "opinions" seem forced.


Finally caught up.

1.) Sure, I did notice Heph's bandwagon, but was there any need to point it out again? He admitted to it.

And Sabby joining the bandwagon is simply not true. He even FoSed Hatmoza himself.

2.) Both have been very quiet, should I just let that slip if I notice that? That's not redirecting town's focus, it's keeping an eye on everyone.

3.) Absolutely correct, there's nothing that could have stopped from voting or commenting differently, votals can be changed after all, so I don't see your point here? I do believe it's better to end day 1 with a No lynch before we have concrete information on somebody, so my standard stand on day one is usually No lynch. You see what happened to Radish. If my vote already stands on No lynch, we don't have to wait so long to end the day. The extra day was for the case that FF  offered us with meaningful information, but nothing worthy of note happened so I decided to vote No lynch then.

4.) I was not lying back then. Do you want to accuse me now because I went to bed? I simply did not have a scum vibe on radish, although his comments to end were...weird to say the least. i do wanted to hear at least a nameclaim from him, but he was lynched before he could even answer.

5.) We didn't know what powers his role had, let alone if it was a killing role. Also, see last sentence of 4.

6.) What's horrible about my opinion? Also Linkz, I expected you would understand a hint when you see it. It doesn't matter for me yet. I have to see who's keeping quiet. And no, I'm not the Cop.

1) Oh nice, you're using future events(Heph's admission) to explain your lack of calling him out and only TOS. I wasn't accusing sabby of bandwagoning also, but of also mentioning TOS while leaving Heph out.

2) Interesting response. I might have believed you if you said you wanted to get them talking again. However, the timing of that post pretty much aligns with when you say you wanted to vote No Lynch, and I find it odd that you would call Baal out when you were basically ready for the day to end yourself.(Yes, I am saying that a vote for no lynch is declaring you want the day to end) And why no mention of the other people that had been quiet if you're worried that it would go unnoticed?

3) My point is you had zero reason not to vote when you claim you had wanted to, instead of waiting until after radish said something. If you were waiting for FF to say something, then you shouldn't have actually wanted to vote a day earlier.

4) I am not accusing you of lying about going to bed. I am saying there was no need to post that, yet for some reason you felt the need to. Why?
So you "were on the verge" of hammering radish, not because you thought he was scum, but because his comments were weird?

5) At that point he softclaimed his powers, and killing was certainly one of them. "We" wouldn't know for sure, but scum certainly would think he was telling the truth.

6) I explained the horribleness of the posts. Also, I was more confused as to what you were trying to say with that line. I see there's a "who" missing now. Though with your theory I can't imagine why it wouldn't have mattered already.

I'm pretty sure I voted ST, but if not

You certainly hadn't. That's why I thought "can we just vote st and get on with this?" was odd. It was like you were asking permission.

Oh and I forgot to mention in my last post about my read on you:
I'm very uneasy about you because you've done something that I've only seen you do as scum before, but since one time hardly makes a concrete tell I'm going with my read at the moment.



TruckOSaurus said:
Stupid work is getting in the way of Mafia! Grrr!

I've come to the conclusion that not following the advice of a claimed cop just doesn't make sense. Linkz is very good at putting doubt in our minds with reasons the could explain the situation but frankly that's the only thing scum can do to defend against a guilty reading.

Vote: Linkzmax

Why doesn't it make sense? If I were scum then I'd almost certainly still be here tomorrow to be lynched. As I already said, there's most likely protection to cover hat, so he won't be killed; however, if he were killed then a flip of cop would get me lynched all the same. We're not at mylo/lylo, so do some actual scumhunting instead of playing follow the cop.

And I can't make it clear enough that I do believe hat is town. I've already experienced a town investigation role getting my alignment wrong for whatever reason and the consequences afterward. In the event that you guys do lynch me today, I do not want a repeat of that.

I'm more comfident of you than of Hat tbh. I still don't like the idea of a full fledged cop in this round. That and I also don't see what IoI has to do with cop.
