Lord of the Rings Mafia

But but but… **Chronos’ **information was revealed during Day 1. So there’s no way he could have gotten that info except through the moderater. Unless you think there is a Scum Day-time investigator… or that there was an investigation on Night 0…AND this would require that the Scum not kill a player thay ostensibly know to be Aragorn on Night 1.

You missed my Astral vote at 2418.

apparantly scum natlaw had information about who was in the game, right?

so having another potential scum also have additional information about who was playing would not be unexpected. matter of fact i think it would fit nicely with canon. so the fact that chronos “knew” before hand about aragorn makes me highly skeptical since the only other person that has had that type of information and fessed up early was scum.

USCDiver, I think we’re saying the same thing. **peeker **seems to believe that **Chronos **is scum because of his claim, a claim that he feels is largely unverified. Then he seems to make a comparison to his own claim, and if we buy Chronos’s claim, why don’t we buy his? I was just pointing out that while **Chronos **certainly could be lying, the way he laid out his information is a lot less scummy than the way peeker’s attempted to lay out his own case.

Um, **Natlaw **was a Scum watcher and didn’t ‘fess up’ until Day 3 and his 'fession was about a player we don’t know the alignment of.

**Chronos **on the other hand hashed his confession on Day 1 about a player we DO know the alignment of (Town).

These two cases are completely different. You HAVE to see that!

Good point. I meant to look back at all the failshaking nonsense, but I didn’t. So… still I’m mystified as to what good the claim is.

Ill re hash my reasoning.

All this is based on me being town k?

Scum can usually discuss stuff at night. At least one of em had to notice I successfully hand shook with Ed. That means, as they know im not one of them I am VT.

Some town may have not noticed my handshaking, or may have forgotten, which means as regards to me, scum had more info than town. I thought this was not a good thing, so I claimed to even things out.

Here’s a question for you, peeker. Red Skeezix apparently had the same PM that special ed did, aside from the name, given that he took part in the handshake. So he had the same “concerned about family” business in it. Would it have been reasonable, therefore, for him to conclude that someone claiming to be his sister was Town?

ok, i promise i am not trying to be obtuse but what in the world is the question?

the fact that people participated in the failshake or did not really doesn’t mean a lot at this point, at least to me. there was nothing in ed’s handshake that made me believe he was other than scum trying to suss out a bunch of information that could prove beneficial to scum. it was his later posts, primarily the glorfindel one that caught my eye. and which led me to believe with his claim of faramir that he was town.

and i know this is metagame as all heck (and i am known to go down way too far that bunny hole) but this game is getting a little more sophisticated. what he was saying and what i know aligned. i arrived at a conclusion that was, in retrospect, accurate. and whether you think i am full of it or just spam the thread i promise there is intent in each content post.

and i don’t think faramir had any sisters.

No, but Eomer (Red Skeezix’s role) did. And the question was, would it have been reasonable for Eomer (Red Skeezix) to believe that someone claiming to be Eomer’s sister Eowyn was Town?

depending on what power or knowledge they might claim, sure.

Wait, what? Your conclusion was that a lynch of **specialed **would lead to your death! Which in retrospect was inaccurate.

where was that diver? i kind of figured that ed flipping town would lead to my death but i don’t think i ever claimed a “lover” type of role.

I didn’t say you ‘claimed’ a lover role, but that was your conclusion, like you ‘kind of figured’, despite all your obfuscations.

boy, i don’t see that at all diver.

matter of fact your comment is a total misrepresentation of what i said. please help me out where i was going to be dead if ed was killed. i certainly stated that lynching ed would be a mistake. but how do you extropolate that to my death?

and i get accused of spam, sheesh.

i mean deliberate misrepresentation used to be a hanging offense in these parts.

You JUST said that you “kind of figured that **ed **flipping town would lead to my death”, now you’re saying that’s you didn’t mean that as a lover type role?

nah, i was thinking that if scum had a half a brain they would want me dead. of course they will probably just go for a lynch and not waste a Night kill.

just so we are clear, diver i think of “lovers” as one person getting killed and the other person dying as a result of that death.

you really don’t see the difference where a game mechanic results in immediate death as opposed to information in the game leaning towards death?

i mean, shit, don’t play on idles’s board. you will get eaten alive.

is ‘eaten alive’ another role/game mechanic you’re working on for your next game?

matter of fact it is pretty close. i am thinking of a wine, entree and opera pairing.

so yeh, if you got stuck with a montrachet, lamb and rossini you can bet it would eat your ass alive.

but the more i think about it a montrachet might go well depending on the appetizer. obviously one would want a syrah to go with the lamb. but if it is lobster or scallops to start with a little bit of nuttiness coupled with the rossini might actually make a funky pairing and an incredible evening.

woot woot. i think i’ll try it this weekend.
