Okay, I’ve just gone through the first days voting. Took longer than I thought (and I’m supposed to be working!) so I might do the other days later but I’m not promising anything.
People who voted for Mahaloth:
Peeker
Tom Scud *
Normal Phase *
Diggit
Nanook
AllWalker *
People with an * voted for him at a stage where it was looking like he’d be lynched.
Unfortunately only Diggit is still alive. In my opinion he looks like town.
Also, FOS on Freudian for a late day vote swith to ensure Mahaloth’s safety, quote:
"Yes–if it’s coming down to you (meaning Mahaloth: added by CP) and Tom Scud, I’ll go with him.
I think I have added to the thread as much as anyone else. My saying it was a “me too” vote was my attempt at transparency. You’ve jumped on more bandwagons that I have. I did the “me too” vote as I still had no strong suspicions but got questioned on not voting by **Mahaloth ** before!
I’ll go through and give my opinions the postulated theories on **Nanook’s **claim and potential gastardlyness later today. I’ve been staring at this screen for too long…
In response to this, in all honesty, I didn’t think Mahaloth was a threat. And after that it just seemed like people were on him so much b/c he was an easy lynch. Ppl wanted to get him first day and it was just easy to pile on a bandwagon. I never saw that case–in retrospect I wish I had, but it seemed like he was one of the only players who was pro-town…very few others were posting all that much and I thought for sure he was town.
I don’t understand why you’re assuming that Mahaloth is scum when it seems most people agree that there’s something, we don’t know what, screwy with the role reveals.
To respond to your claims, CP, I reiterate that I genuinely though Maha was a townie. I was wrong. Your posts though strike me as someone who has just gotten by saying or doing very little, having no suspicions, and is only now posting an analysis to get out of being lynched.
Right now, until I get an explanation I’m going to
vote ColdPhoenix
not as an OMGUS vote, since he didn’t even vote me, but as a “why exactly is it supposed to be me who might be scum?” and also “why exactly are you assuming that Mahaloth was, in fact, scum”?
I’ll be the first to agree that I think unless we have more information about the role reveals vs. what people think they are, it’s impossible to determine the veracity of the role reveals.
I’d like everyone to consider claiming truthfully immediately before lynch if they are to be lynched–unless you are a PFK this will benefit you directly (by helping your team, scum or town, determine what’s actually going on) and if you’re PFK, you’ve just lost anyway when you’re lynched, so why hold back? =) I realize it’s late in the game for this kind of strategy, but one data point (combined with Nanook’s claim vs. the reveal) would go a long way.
This I think I could get on board with. It’s the only chance we really have of unraveling what’s going on.
I wish AllWalker had role claimed before he got killed. He was suggesting that we role claim, but I’m not sure if that was a subtle way of saying he had a power role or if that was him genuinely asking others to come forward.
I’m sorry if I’ve kinda simmered down. At-work issues.
But I’ll have to delay my vote until I have at least analyzed a bit more of our esteemed mod’s interactions; there has to be some clue about the “gastard” part of the game. I want to focus especially on the color commentary.
I did sharks with frakkin’ lasers in the Pirate mafia and I didn’t want to repeat myself (also, I sort of assumed that Hoopy would just understand that they were sharks with frakkin’ lasers, but what are you going to do?). Go check it out. It was a very similar scene but with lasers instead of a sword duel.
