Oooooh - my favourite, a Baz special 'wall of text' post...;o)

I do have some replies and rebuttals to where he has implicated me , but I'm currently up to my ears in RL work - shit has hit rotating air mover big-style. As soon as I'm out from under I'll be coming up with my own wall of text...

Robbeasy: Oooooh - my favourite, a Baz special 'wall of text' post...;o)
And it could have been much longer, but I thought I'd be merciful this time and spread it over multiple posts :)

NotFrenchYet: @Baron:
I didn't vote for you because I wasn't sure of what this whole kill-claim meant. My reaction to your PM posting was to try and verify if it could be genuine (this was back when we all thought you'd quoted directly) - my method was to compare the two postings. If I had insisted on the point, then I can see how you'd think I was trying to subtly push you as a lynch target. However, I concentrated more on the reactions this post provoked (#913 and #920).
Yea - Thats why I have given you the benefit of a doubt and also wanted to wait to hear from you again. Your not really that high on my list anymore, though I must say that several people have dropped around as well.. Somewhat this game doesn't really seem to make it easy on me to keep a firm set of ideas of suspects. Though my vote stays were it is for now.
OK - Here comes the reply to Baz - prepare for text attack

I'm going to take the specific points where he targets me -

bazilisek: 2) Some people, it seems, do not bother to read or remember, possibly deliberately so. When discussing my protection of jefequeso, I offered four reasons for doing so (#849). How odd that Robbeasy (#853) and nmillar (#887) both pick up only on the last one and start treating it as gospel truth. And why, when talking about this protection of mine, doesn't almost anyone ever mention the fact that I'm also a roleblocker? Because if you want to talk statistics, this effectively doubles my chances to stop a nightkill, you know.
The first is the best here - accusations of taking only part of what he said, heres my post in full that he refers to ...

avatar
Robbeasy: Blimey - more info freely offered! I'm hoping this is definitely in Towns best interests?
As Baz says, look at Rod and what happened....
@ Baz - that is indeed solid thinking, and a good choice in many ways - I salute you for that!
Providing you're telling the truth of course..;o)
Be interesting to see what happens with Jefe tonight - have you just put off the suicide for one night, do you think, or stopped it completely?
I'm actually complimenting Baz here, and he chooses to focus entirely on a smallest part of my post, which doesnt really pick up that much at all. So basically he's doing exactly what I've been mentioned for - just to get a fix or association with Twilight? So he can attack me further on???

next - he does indeed go on the offensive

bazilisek: First came Robbeasy (#835), wondering why people are willing to believe I am town (notice it's the same Robbeasy who kept saying the reason for the Rodzaju lynch was to confirm his information). He developed it further in #843 and himself retracted it in #863
Yes I did - because at the time I thought there was only confirmation of your ROLE. Only after a big reread did I come across the part where Rod confirmed you as Town Doctor - which is why I fully retracted it. The lynch DID give us the info, so why do you question me even after I fully retract it? Dont understand this, unless you're somehow trying to link me to Twilight, but I cant see the link either..

And this 'link' you also bring to the surface in the next bit , with the hunt on Jefe. My reasoning for the hunt on Jefe were perfectly sound, the last thing on my mind was the 'classic scum play' of trying to ignore you and go after Jefe.

I do believe Baz is town, but don't get where he has this agenda against me, or the attempts to link me and Twilight together.

As for Twilight himself - yes the pushing of Baz is scummy. But as Damnation has said - people should be pushed when information is given out for no reason. Its happened a lot in this game -

Rod, with the name dropping. Mad, no reasons, got him rightfully lynched in my book, whether town or not.
Baz, with the Doctor claim out of absolutely nowhere - STILL not had a satisfactory answer for this one, if you hadn't been confirmed by Rod it would still be a problem
Red, with his claim of the nightkill.

There was no pressure on any of these players to give out the information. I went after and pressured Red after his claim because That is what you have to do - its the only way to smoke out the Mafia! After much discussion I also think Red is telling the truth, mainly because it would be the maddest of all mad ploys for a Mafia person to actually claim the Nightkill. But then again, if you could make the explanation stick, what a brilliant ploy !!

So personally I'm at a bit of a loss myself - my biggest suspect Would still be baz, if not for the incontravertible evidence from Rod and his subsequent lynch. So I have to conclude he is Town. Jefe less so - although his role is confirmed, the alignment isnt. Red, I'm 90% sure his claim is correct, and is therefore Town as well, although he has been inconsistent with his posts

I can see where the suspicion of Twilight is coming from , but I again point at what I've just said - we're supposed to go after people who give out information unnecessarily! To lambast someone for it and go after them DOES seem a little OMGUS. I'll be paying attention to the rest of your reasoning though, Baz.

nmillar and the multiple mafia - dont see anything inherently scummy about it, tbh. The flavour is there at the start, and crucially nmillar hasn't based any accusations or theories on it.

Cruward - keeps disappearing , and doesn't have a lot to say. If I was pushed, he would be my favourite for lynch at the moment, as he is bringing nothing useful to the table and its heading to the time when we all need to be on it.

Damnation - seemed convinced of NFy's guilt ealier, but never really expanded on why. Not like you...

Others - not really got a deal..

I'll Unvote Sir now as it was only a silly prod to get him to stop lurking. Although he has been , quite a lot. Not a deal of scumhunting coming from over there at all, in fact...

Hell - if I go back to the logic of Day2 and look at today objectively, I would say the lynch of Jefe or Red would give us the most information, and be of most help to us today. But I'm loathe to lead that sort of lynch reasoning again.

feck it - Vote Cruward - I dont like the flitting in and out, I dont like the fact theres always a litle reason for it, when basically its just lurking in fear of saying something he shouldn't, i reckon.

Well, I have bad news for you then Baz :P

I'm going to have to vanish from the game til after Christmas, I have gifts to finish, log cakes to bake, and I'd like to be done and sitting on my ass Christmas Eve instead of running like a chicken with my head cut off. I'll have time to poke my head in, but anything else the size of last night's response is going to be beyond me for a few days.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone, and I'll be back to argue once Christmas is over.

TwilightBard: Have a Merry Christmas everyone, and I'll be back to argue once Christmas is over.
Merry Christmas to you too, even if your a scum.

Apart from y'know, pressing Baron on his whole PM thing. :P

Speaking of lurking, I'm going to be gone for the whole of thursday and friday, I have to go to a funeral unfortunately. It's already cleared with ViolatorX, I'm just letting everyone know.

I'll be back by christmas eve and might manage to get a post in then, probably won't post on christmas day but then I can't imagine there'll be a lot of activity anyway.
Sorry for my inactivity. I'll probably be inactive for a little while longer, too. Once Christmas and its accompanying craziness has passed (and once my medication gets under control...that's another story), I'll do a big read and post my thoughts.
I will also assume myself to be a bit Christmas lurking for the next period until after the 24th. But I'll check in from time to time, so not in complete lurk mode.
Sorry for butchering the context, but:

Robbeasy: I'm actually complimenting Baz here [in post #835]
That I actually consider a scumtell. Congratulating me for my choice is odd, because not even I myself know whether my protection/blocking of jefe did any good or not. But there is one group of people who do know -- the mafia.

Robbeasy: I do believe Baz is town, but don't get where he has this agenda against me, or the attempts to link me and Twilight together.
I don't have an agenda, I'm trying to smoke out scum. You know, the thing all townies should be doing in this game?
avatar
Robbeasy: Baz, with the Doctor claim out of absolutely nowhere - STILL not had a satisfactory answer for this one
I've given what I believe is a perfectly satisfactory answer: if the mafia is at least barely competent, Rodzaju's actions had already painted a target on my back. If I hadn't spoken up, I'm pretty sure I would have been the nightkill target on N1, as at that point I was a confirmed town power role (remember, scum always knew Rodzaju's claim was true -- at least the general gist of it). And I think I've read somewhere that keeping the town doctor alive is generally not a bad idea. So it's actually worked out pretty well, hasn't it?

No, we're supposed to go after scum (can't believe I have to spell this out). What Red_Baron did, for example, was for the benefit of town.

Yes, it turned out what Red_Baron did WAS to the benefit of town - which became clear (and I cant believe i have to spell this out) after he had pressure put on him to post further.
So... we're kinda on hold for the holidays?
I guess. People don't seem to be saying anything, and I don't really have anything to add as of right now.

Orryyrro: I guess. People don't seem to be saying anything, and I don't really have anything to add as of right now.
Indeed, though I do wish all a happy Christmas.
And I'm going to unvote Red_Baron, since it feels wrong to have a vote on anyone on Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas everyone! :)
