Hey everyone :) Sorry for not posting earlier, having two jobs makes me struggle to keep up reading everything, let alone posting, but I'll do my best...
Lot's of stuff happening, so first of about myself:
avatar
dedoporno: ...the only role that comes to my mind that will never end up with a wasted read is an alignment cop.
here's to hoping an alignment cop will back me up some day. I assure you people, I am town indeed and therefore it seems my post wasn't clever at all :( (And yes I'm aware I mustn't lie as town so I don't) ... oh boy, I'm already thinking about if this is again a stupid thing to post before hitting the post button, but I can't see it. Scum already knows I'm town and telling town/neutrals about it can't be that bad? of course noone will believe it until someone confirms it, but here's to hoping it's noted anyway...

avatar
Krypsyn: Sometimes, making bold statements gives meaning to potential. Occasionally, naming a thing with give it power. Jokers are wild, and I suspect you are playing with a deck of 54.

Are we there yet?
since you now think that wasn't it. I'm quite intrigued to know what "it" was, exactly? I don't get the reference at all and only think of a card game joker that can essentially be any card it wants to. Is there such a thing in mafia?


avatar
yogsloth: That's a very odd thing to bring up.

Did I somehow mis-type my role as "Vengeful Paranoid Gun Owner Nexus" or something?
That made me look at the wiki again, looking up policy lynch and all of those roles. Holy crap I should've done that earlier :/ But two things struck me: Follow the Cop is something why someone could be claiming cop that early, but seeing as it's impossible to do nowadays because of strongmen and sanity impaired roles (The op pm with the former god role implicates, the roles might be somehow impaired, right?) it's not fitting yog's play who I bet knows the wiki by heart

the second thing eludes me right now and I have to get to work again now, will post when I find it again...
avatar
cristigale: I had to stare at that awhile to finally get what you saw scummy about it. I find it lame for a vote but at least I see it.
avatar
Krypsyn: It is possibly role fishing and/or directing town power roles. Both of these are a bit scummy. It isn't the most damning evidence ever, but I did arch an eyebrow when I read it.
Wow, I don't think if seen Krypsyn being so open about his voting reasons before. This is something new!

avatar
BlueMooner: So basically everybody has to figure out their own means of finding mafia, and then they can't share those tricks with anybody, ever, even between games, lest the trick become useless. So.... I guess I'll just have to um... yeah.
Um... yeah. Pretty much. So, you know, hunt scum!!!

avatar
BlueMooner: You could always go back and edit your post. Just a suggestion. Don't worry, I'm sure the rest of us will be fine. : P
I'm curious about further "pun"ishments, but not that curious.

avatar
agentcarr16: ...so what's up with this?
avatar
BlueMooner: Forest for the trees, dear boy. Your scrutiny of his capitalizations has apparently made you miss a larger flaw. He didn't mention Hijack at all.
*facepalm*

Wow, nice catch. I think I only saw the capitalization because of the earlier comment on not capitalizing Hyper's name.

avatar
flubbucket: And oopsy will not bode well
Problem is that I can totally imagine myself going oopsy.

avatar
mchack: but seeing as it's impossible to do nowadays because of strongmen and sanity impaired roles
And usually Doctors can't target the same player on two consecutive nights.

Follow the cop is a very risky strategy to go for, scum almost always have some kind of doctor foil (be it strongman or roleblocker or whatever) so putting himself out there as the only target N1 (so far anyway) in the hopes he will be protected doesn't seem likely. Plus there's the chance the Doctor wouldn't be able to protect him two nights (which seems, quite rightly, to be the standard in the games here now) in a row, so even if he survived tonight he might die tomorrow night.

That being said... I don't think yog's knows the wiki quite that well, as he did think a Ninja was a commuter in Vitek's game...
And there is the fact that last time yog's was a cop he claimed day 1... admittedly then he actually had a useful read to share, something which he seems to be lacking this time, so maybe he just feels claiming cop day 1 is a really really good thing to do?

Whatever he's doing, I think he's going to need to start talking more, because there are holes in his play so far (he never answered my question about why he referred to trent as scum, and he left HijacK off his reads list) that combined with his odd claim and somewhat unusual quietness (where are the walls of text?) might just get him lynched, and if he is what he says he is that is going to be bad for us.

mchack: Scum already knows I'm town and telling town/neutrals about it can't be that bad? of course noone will believe it until someone confirms it, but here's to hoping it's noted anyway...
The main issue isn't that you said you're Town, but the role claimed. When I said it wasn't cool I meant that your Town Vanilla claim (if real) basically told scum that you aren't a decent NK pick. They're primarily gunning for power roles that can expose them or tamper with their schemes. One of the stronger abilities of the Town Vanilla (if not the strongest) is to take the NK thus potentially saving a power role for one more night. Giving this away negates the benefit.

I think I already covered the scum scenario to some extent.

So yeah :) You learn something new every day!
avatar
BlueMooner: ....
So exactly who did I ask over and over and over again to tell me what they thought yog's was doing? All I've done is point out that whatever he's doing is not beneficial to town and whatever plan other people were seeing I was not.

Now yog's has said "I admit my entire theory on the Day was not to isolate an individual Scum, but rather to start sorting players into piles of likelihood. Fractal painting, perhaps.", and if that's what he was doing by role claiming straight out of the gate it's a very weak play IMO.

Here's why I don't like the play

1. If he's truly Town role cop, scum will either kill or block him and his role is wasted. If scum are able to hit a power role on N1 it makes the game much easier for them.
2. There is a good chance he's actually a scum role cop and wants to use this as cover to hunt for other roles at night but just say during the day he was blocked.
3. Once roles are being discussed it leads to people talking about roles and possibly revealing if they have a power role too (intentional or not), and the only people that benefits on Day 1 is scum.
4. This is a lone wolf play, and the only way town is gong to win is if they work together.

So good intentions or not what yog's did was a risky play that benefits scum more than town.
Part I


avatar
JMich: Haven't you already done that? Haven't you done that with everyone making a comment in all the games so far?

Start with yog's comment. Why would his first post be that? Then check with the reactions.
The moment is lost now, but that should have been "So, should we be asking ourselves what information agentcarr16, BlueMooner, and you share?".



avatar
HijacK: [...]

It... it doesn't? What? How did town win all of these previous games if this is how this game goes? I simply can't fathom.

Vote agent

I may be joking around and all, but this... this... do I even have to explain why this doesn't bode well with me? Am I the only one seeing something quite ridiculous here?

[...]
Hmmm... perhaps we should all vote you then?



avatar
agentcarr16: [...] If there is someone that I am convinced is Town, I take everything they say as gospel truth. [...]
Even if you have no evidence to base your conviction on?



avatar
yogsloth: I must admit I've generally written that off as a waste of time and rarely pursue the exercise. I don't need anymore inane youtube videos in my life.
Are you absolutely sure that's wise to do with Krypsyn's links?



avatar
CSPVG: [...]

#88 - HypersomniacLive - Really, that came across as fishing to you? I don't understand how speculating about yog's claim, and the fact that everyone was rather nonplussed about it at the time, is me fishing, but I must say that I never meant it to be fishing.

[...]
It was more a comment on the way you word/ phrase your posts.

Sage103082: [...] Argument #1 - I agree. [...]
Is that agreement to the argument in general, or in relation to Lifthrasil?
avatar
mchack: I'm quite intrigued to know what "it" was, exactly?
*blank stare*
avatar
flubbucket: Ok. For the record, how can we let it continue without some sort of verification??
Same as any other claim. See who argues for, who argues against, and make a decision based on available data. Or hope there are roles willing to investigate yog, should he make it to the night.

Where did the "role cop" come from? I thought yog claimed town cop, not town role cop.

Not sure that we actually share any information, I'd say it's more like we each have a corner piece of the puzzle, and recognize it as such. Nothing says we ain't all mistaken though.
Part II

yogsloth: I'm one of those who is reluctant to lynch a newbie day one, so I'll pass on mchack and bluemoon.

The cabal of JMich, agent, and dedo all seem to possibly be hip to my groove. That's not a free pass, but it means I won't be voting them today until more shakes loose.

adalia has missed the plot completely, but I'm not lynching his active self on the first day just on general principle.

trentonlf is his usually bull-headed Scum self, same as every game, which means I have absolutely no read on him. No confidence to place a vote there.

That leaves HSL, flub, Lift, CSPVG, Krypsyn, Sage, and cristi.

Hmmmmm. [...]
Hmmm...



avatar
Krypsyn: Dontcha know? He only has eyes for me... :P
He sure doesn't have eyes for everyone.



avatar
Sage103082: Don't be jealous. Yogs has two eyes as far as I know. You both can have one.

Then again, perhaps not?

BlueMooner: [...]

On a side note, I'll mention that Support got back to me about the forum glitch. They made NO mention of any fault on their end, or that everybody experienced it. Instead, they listed suggestions for me to do on my end, even though I listed I had already done those things when I sent my report to them. So either they didn't even read my claim, or just sent a generic response. That is OBVIOUSLY scummy behavior, so,

Unvote Sage

flubbucket: I'm anticipating some plausible explanation from the TOWN COP as to why he left a name off the list. The job does entail scrutinizing every player does it not??

And oopsy will not bode well
oopsy

Actually, it was a brilliant ploy on my part to try and fool everybody into thinking HijacK is actually invisible. Ha HA!

Either that or I just missed him and you can add his name to the bottom list of the general mish-mash.

mchack: it's not fitting yog's play who I bet knows the wiki by heart
It’s actually a nearly-bottomless pit of knowledge. Always new things to learn. But not every moderator uses the wiki. I still think it’s a pretty good place to start, though. But:

(facepalm) How about everywhere? Are we reading the same game? Sometimes you write the walls of text; sometimes you provoke the walls of text. Is this not useful to you? Do you actually need me to write some walls myself? OK. Tell you what. You say some interesting **** other than “hurr durr, Yogz is no plan and da worst scumz evar!” and I’ll write about you.

Let’s hope we bought the same puzzle. Although if we’re both totally wrong, that would be pretty funny. I’ll be sure to blame you for everything.

I saw your PM, you misread it :P

Yes, there are a lot of walls of text, just not as many from you as I'd expect.
Some of us are born to provoke walls of text, some of us are born to write them. You (and I) are most definitely the latter.

Nah, I did my interesting shit last game, I'm sure as hell not putting my neck on the line like that again when I was 100% correct about what would happen.

As for useful to me... I'd give you about a 5 / 10. Reactions haven't been particularly enlightening one way or the other, as far as game starting ploys go I prefer mine or Bookwyrms, although on the plus side you might actually survive yours, but we'll probably gain less info from it... so score that however you will.

Anyway.... am I voting for anyone? I don't think I am.... That's not good form, ain't gonna lynch no one that way.

Just in case
Unvote

And random.org says lets:
