HypersomniacLive: if he's Town he's been a source of contention and distraction; I'm keeping my eyes on others, but he has managed to draw me into this a lot more than I'd have liked. ....
RIiiiight, it's me drawing you in, not you drawing me in...seriously, I hope there are sound minded people out there than can see the truth. (IT'S YOU who have kept harping no shit that has made me make the posts I've been making, I've been trying to get everyone to GET OVER IT for days and days!) You do a good job of making it appear like it's me, though. SO GD SCUMMY! If you're town I see you in the same light that you see me, apparently. You have done nothing but twist words, antagonize, and cause a ruckus, to which I've had to repeatedly respond and try to help you understand (I think you do understand and just pretend not to, like you do when you're scum.) I've been trying to scum-hunt, YOU'VE been distracting it, moreso than trent even, but it could be your misguided self, what do I know. I'm glad you've finally decided to move on instead of keep poking me though. HALLELUJAH, the game can move on! *catching up more*

adaliabooks: You can't be lynched or NK'd so revealing you have some kind of power wouldn't (couldn't even) make you a target.

Bookwyrm627: I'm curious about why you think this. Please cite your source(s) and logic.
Misremembering of the rules:

agentcarr16: Regarding Spectres:
Every time a player is killed, whether by lynch, nightkill, or other, they will become a Spectre.
A Spectre retains their original alignment. A Spectre does not retain any powers it had while it lived.
If they were Good, they can still win with the Good team, but they count as eliminated for the purposes of the Evil win condition.
If they were Evil, they can still win with the Evil team, but they count as eliminated for the purposes of the Good win condition.
Spectres may not be lynched.
Each Spectre may Vote. However, a Spectre may NOT unvote. That is, once placed, a Spectre’s vote may not be changed.
Each Spectre may continue to post in the game thread. They are still required follow all rules outlined in the Opening Post, excepting the one regarding a post every 36 hours. Spectres are allowed to lurk, as they may not be lynched.
Finally, each Spectre has a special ability, which they may or may not use and/or reveal, as they desire.

There are sundry other minor details with regards to mechanics, which the Spectres may choose to reveal if they so desire.
It only says you can't be lynched, I thought it had said can't be NK'd either but that may not actually be the case. Which brings up some interesting questions as the rules state that any NK'd player becomes a Spectre (unless Spectres are not themselves players) so if you were NK'd would you just return again as a Spectre?

Not sure if it's a mistake in the rules or if there are other mechanics in play..

See, here's my problem. Spectres can't be NK'd. I specifically asked about it, and I very specifically left open the idea that scum could still eliminate me, hoping to draw a NK.

I'll skip most of the PM details (I had a fair number of questions for Agent about various things). The relevant synopsis is that scum know that spectres can't be NK'd (the late notice is because of me, and you are welcome, scumbags!), and spectres know (or can find out) that spectres can't be NK'd.

So...how did you know? I double checked my post history to see if I let it slip anywhere, or even dropped a clue about it, but I couldn't find anything. I'm also reminded of Dessimu hitting Drealmer hard on Day 1, pushing for that victim lynch, and he very nearly succeeded.

Adalia, did you really manage to pull scum again?
Hey, some really good stuff since HSL has decided to stop badgering me and talk about other stuff. AWESOME!

adaliabooks: Not sure if it's a mistake in the rules or if there are other mechanics in play..
I wouldn't call it a mistake, just probably an undisclosed mechanic, probably like "spectre's can't be NKed" told to scum if they ask to NK a spectre. My understanding is the only person that can kill a spectre is the exorcist, but like I said previously, I also figure there is a mechanic of "if the exorcist is dead, a random spectre is killed each night."

And yes, wyrm, use your own judgement, of course.

Thanks HSL for clearing that up (that you figure you'd be the exorcist's target if you were lynch because of the "confirmed" status of wyrm.

I didn't know, I honestly thought (assumed) that was the case, as it made sense considering the exorcist role.

*shrugs*
I can see why you would be suspicious though and there's not much I can say or do about that.
I can WIFOM it and say if I had received some kind of message mid game day about not killing Spectres I probably wouldn't share it in the thread, but we both know that's not really worth much as an explanation.
Ooops, I was wrong, he didn't completely stop badgering me (making snarky comments, mis-representing what I said, not answering questions [I asked about his confidence in Trent, I did not make a statement declaring his confidence in trent], etc.) here, but in order for everything to move on I need stop replying to his shit, you see, it is when I respond to HIS stuff that HE makes it appear that I am the distractor, simply for replying to his shit. How does no one else see that as super-scummy? Anyway, yes, MOVING ON!

The deadline is less than 24 hrs away. I'd like if everyone placed a vote so we can discuss the situation better.

I say we get rid of some lurkers, babark or a4plz are the 2 I think we should consider most. I see more potential in babark's play as a noob than I do in a4plz's (a4plz seems a bit out of her depths maybe? I hope she learns to swim! c'mon a4plz, you can do it!), but he's not doing anything with it. PR or scum maybe? If he were a PR I'dhave hoped he'd take the friendly Good advice and contribute more as to not appear like a scummy lurker, and he has not, so I'll go with the thought that he is scum just trying to lay low.

If I were Evil and had noob teammate (or teammates), I'd have probably advised them to lay as low as possible and try to lurk out a victory (because most here at GOG forum mafia permit the lurkers moreso than is healthy for town. Wish yogs was here to STU with me!)


unvote trentonlf

Or... you could vote HijacK. You know, the one with an actual wagon and a chance to be lynched?

And also... what the hell?
Suddenly you've gone from we shouldn't lynch people unless we are convinced they are scum to lets vote any old lurker?
That's quite some turn around in beliefs you've managed there...

You wouldn't deliberately share it, but I was looking at a potential slip.

I can't tell, and right now the balance is so very close enough that you being active is going to tip it; Town absolutely needs active townies. I'm probably going to try and kill you later, with genuine regret. I'm pretty sure you understand why though: scum have to die.

Vote Hijack.

You are wayyy too obsessed with killing people. KILL THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO DIE. Seriously, what kind of shit tactic is that?! That is sooo frikken anti-town. Anwyay, You obviously haven't followed games I've been in very well (wait, you've been inthem, and assist-modding them, how do you not know?), I am always for STU (I hold pretty much the same position as yogsloth, and always have.)

Aside from the 2 lurkers I mentioned I'm also willing to vote trent and HSL, but everyone seems content on giving trent a pass for his crazy meta-switch play (HWAAAHAT?!), and HSL is just so loved by anyone apparently no one wants to kill him sooo, there, can you follow that logic?!

Also, adalia, I find your reads and scum-assesments to be some of the worst I've ever seen, game after game after game, and so there is no way I'd follow you onto a wagon just because you want me to.

Bookwyrm627: Vote Hijack.
Can you explain this a bit? I'm not seeing anything inherently scummy from him (more non-participation than I would like, sure, but nothing scum-tastic is sticking out), and it seems most want to vote him because he's "playing the meta he plays when he's scum" which I'm not comfortable with at all because the vibes I've been getting from him all game is that he has a PR, not that he's scum. But I'm open to being shown the light, if you'd care to enlighten me, maybe I can be convinced.
avatar
JMich: So you do understand why I questioned your post then? Because you not being a quitter meant that the "fuck this" explanation was unlikely.

[...]
I said you should know. Does this mean that I was sure that you actually did?
Did you say you didn't expect it from me or that you were surprised if it were the case? Why should I have concluded that you thought so?
Even now, you've not taking a position on the matter, you're just trying to use my own words against me.


avatar
JMich: [...]

The exorcist can target spectres. If you are a spectre, he can target you, if you are not one, he cannot. To be able to remove you, you must have returned as a spectre, even if momentarily. You claimed you wouldn't return, so the exorcist wouldn't be able to target you. So there does seem to be a missing step.

[...]
Where did I say that the Exorcist wouldn't be able to target me? Seriously, I expected better from you than this cheap word twisting. Wait, that's not even word twisting, that's straight out putting words in my mouth to make your case.

I offered you the link to the D2 opening post just a little while ago. Apparently you didn't read it thoroughly when the mod made it, and you didn't (re)read it now either. Or so you like us to think. Let me help you out [emphasis added]:
Each Night, the Exorcist must send in a PM with the name of a player that has been killed.
Where does it say that he has to wait for the dead player to first return as a Spectre?
Not sure why you insist on this.

JMich: [...]

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_game_40_wilderberry_hollow/post621Post 621[/url]. You dont know of anything that I may have missed, which I took to mean that there wasn't any public info that I did miss.

[...].
I said that I don't know what you think you may have missed. Or have I become a mind-reader, and don't know it?
Again, what's with the cheap word twisting, JMich? Especially after you falsely accused me of doing it to you...


avatar
JMich: [...]

Of course. The only question is if you question my motives or if you fit my motives to your suspicions. You know, similar to what you were saying to drealmer.
I've already said why I'm suspicious of you. I'm questioning your motives, as I've not seen anything to alleviate them. Quite the contrary.
But, please, do continue.

drealmer7: more of drealmer7's ramblings
I'll reserve a little something for after the game.


Pre-post refresh - I see developments with adaliabooks. Of the earth-shuttering kind I mentioned earlier.

Where did the "mid game day message come from? Bookwyrm627's reply to you didn't specify when Scum were made aware of the Spectres mechanics...

Puts things into a new perspective.
Like you making slipping in your great effort to appear Town, while subtly encouraging Bookweyrm627 to leave us in the dark, and are trying to shrug it off now.

That also would shed a different light on the certainty of your Town "reads"...
Would also mean that one of cristigale, CSPVG and JMich may well be your scum-buddy... Could it be JMich,as you were pretty eager to lynch me sooner than later?
Also puts a different light on the quite nicely articulated argument to lynch drealmer7, trentonlf and me - why "waste" a NK when you can make push for our mandatory lynch...

The question now is - how do we evaluate adalibooks push to lynch HijacK?

If you think he's Scum, you should not let go now, adaliabooks is pretty bad at handling pressure when Scum, but pretty good at regrouping if given the chance.

Let me just ask a quick thing of you. What is the next sentence in the D2 opening post that you omitted to quote?
P.S. Also, can the exorcist send the same name twice?

Yes, it does appear to be a miscommunication. You said you wouldn't be returning, which I took as you'd never be a spectre, you meant you'd come and go at once as the most likely target for the exorcist.

It piqued interest to me as well at first when I read it, and I was waiting to see if he ever explained it. He has, and I believe it. Of course, he should have said "if I'm today's lynch" if he wanted to be entirely accurate, and that is the only thing that I find of note about it any more.

JMich can I ask for your read on HijacK? (anything in this game that is scummy to you, and your evaluation of his previous scum-games vs. this one, if you would.)

drealmer7: JMich can I ask for your read on HijacK? (anything in this game that is scummy to you, and your evaluation of his previous scum-games vs. this one, if you would.)
Not enough for a proper read. Majority of his posts can be tl;dr as "Too busy with school, can't even party properly". The few "meaty" posts he has are bashing heads with HSL, who I may be biased against based on my head bashing with him, as well as one disagreeing with adalia about the severity of an action.

One could probably say HijacK is lurking, though if I recall my schedule properly, college is the most likely reason for that.
