@pezus
Linkz words are meant to be undermining and that is all.
Voteless is not so much of a consequence, and if he's treating it as such, then perhaps it's because he knows the spread already. Regardless of how unfair he thinks it is (knowing how many mafia) suffice to say, it is still my role.

"Being rendered voteless is one of the worst things that can happen in a game."

Voteless is absolutely a liability to town. Lylo/mylo comes sooner, and that's regardless of the number of mafia to start.

-When I look at everything together, I see Linkz pushing for me to claim, citing my asking for nen's alignment. He witnessed me saying "there it is". And then my subsequent "I'm not actually a lie detector".

So why does he think I'm lying about my role?

Yes, after hinting at something actually damning and delaying your claim as long as possible, you claimed a role which will never be nightkilled. Is that not a convenient way to explain down the line why you're still alive?

theprof00 said: The way I see it happening is that Linkz is pushing me to prove myself as a lie detector highlighting Nen's claim for me. He then asks for my proof. It is certain that he distinctly, even aggressively, wanted me to prove myself by scanning nen. That is a fact.

Now to run through scenarios:
Scum Linkz wants me to scan town nen (wasting it)
Scum Linkz wants me to scan mafia nen (to appear town)
Town Linkz wants me to scan nen (prove that I'm town)

Out of these circumstances, I don't see either of the last two being really motivational to his posts.
Why would he push so hard for me to claim when I haven't done anything to warrant suspicion in the first place? Other people have been suspicious of me but have not asked for the same proof.

Where did I ever indicate I was playing off your implication by pushing you to scan nen. YOU pushed for nen to claim alignment or what have you. I said it was pointless until you said you'd claim if I got him to do so. If I wanted you to prove yourself by scanning nen, wouldn't I have facilitated him claiming right from your first hint?

So yeah, I was clearly pushing you to reveal a "scan you already made" of nen. THAT is a fact.

But let's go through your hypothetical scenarios anyway:
You scan a town nen, thus confirming a townie. What waste is there?
You scan a mafia nen, that I had called town before you called him mafia and I had been adamantly defending all day. How do I appear town?
How would I know if your scan was legit, since as scum you could just state the truth about nen regardless of his alignment.

theprof00 said: Linkz is also good at reading people. Looking at Linkz push for me to claim, there are a couple of options.

1Linkz is so certain I'm scum that he's sure I'm lying about my role implication of Lie Detector (not very plausible) and so is calling my bluff.

Take note folks. THIS is rolefishing. See prof is calling it "not very plausible" in order to push me to claim Lie Detector myself or cop(which is quite similar in results) or masons/siblings/lovers/etc. with nen or maybe even Tracker or a flavor/role cop. Any of which is in fact easily plausible.

theprof00 said: 2Linkz cannot read me whatsoever, and needs my claim to help narrow his own list.

Earlier he said that I was scum by process of elimination, that being I'm in the "likely scum" category, (out of 8 players) against others who were in the "slightly leaning scum" category. So, what we have here is that there exists no evidence (citing his 'process of elimination' post).
That would indicate disqualification of option 2 that he cannot read me whatsoever, since he was at least capable of placing me in the "likely scum" category. This would be compounded by his aggressiveness, leading me to think a town linkz was very confident in my scum alignment.
This would make me conclude that of the options for Town linkz aggressively going after Prof, it is due to the fact that he is very confident and is calling my bluff.

However, in this scenario there is a troubling piece of evidence. When I soft-claimed a Lie detector, Linkz became more hostile. Coupled with the fact that I was telling everyone that Nen is my top suspect, and that my claim would lend validity to what I was saying, then the town reaction should have been something a bit more desirable, don't you think? It should've been something like "So, you're soft-claiming LD, and you want us to lynch nen, so then you scanned him based on something he said, and he turned up lying. What specifically did he lie about?" I mean, right? That's what I would have thought so that I may judge the evidence for myself.

I did not need to specifically say "nen is not pro-town", because I implied it with wanting to lynch him.
Furthermore, since I hadn't been on nen's case so much on day 1, it would also imply that it is a night action, yet Linkz seems to think that I was capable of acting during the day.

Please show me where I ever indicated thinking you were implying a day action rather than a night action.

theprof00 said:

Based on this piece of evidence, I would say that Linkz had a greater inclination to believe that I was lying PREVIOUS to further input.
Looking at the logic, it would follow as such:
Suspects Nen, Claims power will validate, Claiming Lie detector, Nen was caught Lying -> Prof is a Liar

The last possible option is that he believes I hadn't used the power yet. But there is not much garnered from this possibility.

To me, the only possible result would be that Linkz knows Nen is Town, and is challenging me to either waste if (if not yet used), or claim it.

Also of note is that it is possible that the Bus Driver was able to be used last night despite SAK not being present.



Linkz, why did you not consider that I had already used my power on nen?

As I've said above. All day I was considering that you were implying to have already used a power on nen.

Perhaps Mario will recall, but the time between those two posts was one minute. You're an incredible speed reader.

Yup, I was about to say something to him, but then I saw that he already addressed it only 1 minute later. That IS some incredibly fast reading Prof... I honestly don't buy his claim one bit. I've never heard of a voteless who actually was not allowed to vote. I always thought the mod didn't count their vote and that was it. It seems weird that Prof would get "punished" for actually casting a vote. Sounds to me like he wants to get in an early role claim as mafia, in my opinion.

It doesn't look like people are going to vote for FF, so...

unvote

vote: Prof

Maybe you could elaborate on what will happen if you do vote, or better explain why you can't.

Well as fun as rereading Round 29(Where Wonk was a voteless treestump) was, prof never gave his stance on how someone should play as voteless. So that was a waste of time. Not like I missed anything here though :(

If our words aren't good enough, post id numbers should suffice:(though I have no idea how active the site is overall at the time) http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4705552 and http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4705554

I'd expect if there are "consequences", then clarifying them is also prohibited. But there's no harm in asking. Flavor would be nice too.



How I Met Your Mother is like the best show ever.


(Did someone get excited because of the "new post" notification? Because that's what I was going for. Haha, I just wasted your time.)

Let me clarify, I re-read nen's posts (in the last couple pages) by Ctrl-F'ing from teh two pages I had been reading. It took less than a few seconds.

Really Mario, and you ask why I think you're scum? What a trivial matter to stick a vote to, when we have so many to pick from. What do you think of Stefl?

As for my role, I'm sure you can think of something that may be worse than voteless, but linkz is right, I am under penalty. I can say though, that my character is a monk.
Additionally, I don't need to hide behind any claims to avoid attention. Just look at last game, everyone was under complete understanding that I was alive because other people were more important threats. I have no need for making up claims to survive.

This is why I removed my vote immediately at the beginning. I wasn't paying attention and joke voted. Thankfully day hadn't started yet.

Interesting prof. It is all so convenient, isn't it? Your votes have consequences, eh... might it be that you said that so we would not push you to vote for someone? What about linkz post about voteless being very unbalanced for this particular game? 

Well, in all reality Linkz point wasn't that strong.  With an odd # of players, it takes the same to vote somebody out but due to the rules, with an even number of players, it actually takes 1 less vote than a normal game to vote somebody out.  Contrary to what you are saying, some sort of limited voting role or something of that sort could easily seem plausible in this game.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

By the way. I would like clarification now in regards to what happens the final day if there is 1 mafia and 1 townie left. Wouldn't the first vote technically be enough to justify a lynch?



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Quick note:
The question was brought up on day 1, "are you a human", as being the correct question to ask.

SAK flipped a car.

What do people think about this?



Retagging- I haven't been following the thread since I died, but I might well do now, I think
