Mafia: Baker Street [Game in progress]

Okay, thanks for pointing that out…I admit it was weak reasoning.
However, to be fair, he also made the second post (below).

So it really was a post in the wrong game thread. : p

As for whether or not I’ll hold it against him in either game,…probably not, now that I see an actual conversation where it would make sense.

I don’t think Diggit’s clue is a total clear, but it is enough to remove him from my priority list for now.

On Day One, there were four candidates who all had a good chance of being lynched before I backed the Dizzy horse.

Texcat – votes for her didn’t seem well-reasoned, but she is the most likely scum from a “scum deflection” standpoint (not convinced yet)
Pizza – Pizzaish
Astral – looks more townie now; vote from Chronos looks good for him; still mild eyebrow
Pleo – not much info; showing limited evidence of interaction with anyone but also limited engagement (IRL issues)

Would like to hear your views on the above four, following folks: wevets, Scathach, Lightfoot, **Darth Sensitive **
[because I have no read on you and want to hear your voices and examine your shoes and hats for trace evidence…]

I don’t know if you want my thoughts, but they are:

Texcat - defended my just awhile ago when realizing my mispost made sense. Therefore, I suspect texcat for being helpful to me.

Pizza - So desperately trying to find scum. So I suspect him, and it would be a great get if we kill him and he’s scum.

Astral - No idea

Pleo - Pleo is fun to lynch. Remind me, did Pleo make a partical claim on Day One in this game?

Scathath, Lightfoot, and Darth sensitive: No idea.

I’ll place some votes now just for fun.

**Vote texcat

Vote Pizza
**
And for double funsies,

Vote Pleo

i only get squirrelly when voted for stupid reasons. :wink:

that’s the best reason you have on D3? i obviously wasn’t sly about asking about your powers. you appeared to have two of them. whenever there are results or knowledge claimed it’s far from unusual to question them to see if they are believable.

you didn’t even bother to answer my question yesterDay. that’s the problem with players who are practically confirmed as Town. suddenly you believe your correct about your suspicions. pretty irresponsible. in this game, you haven’t been good just lucky.

if you’re town, you’ll be wrong again. i have gotten you though but then you made it easy that game.

until i see better suspects,

**Vote Astral Rejection **
Vote Texcat
Vote Darth Sensitive

Now, I miiiiight be biased, but I find these votes I’m getting a little suspect.

These are all of the posts gnarlycharlie has made about me:

(note, this isn’t addressed to me, but DaphneBlack.)

DAY 2

DAY 3

I can’t be the only one who thinks these are the laziest votes in lazingtown, can I? His whole case, near as I can tell based only on his exact words, are that he and I disagree about whether or not a scummer might have gotten a matching clue with a townie. I still think it’s more likely now that we know multiple sets of players have matching clues… so what’s the deal?
Next, here are all the posts Idle Thoughts made about me:

Because the Day 1 lynch was a bit of a cluster, he’s decided scum MUST have manipulated the lynch, and that one of (or maybe both) TexCat and I must be scum. There’s an obvious hole in his reasoning that maybe it was a mess because Day 1 is usually a mess, and he hasn’t exactly gone out of his way to point to other potential signs of scumminess. There’s no effort here to ever truly reevaluate me in light of whatever might have happened during the day, or actually establish a case beyond “well it must be so.”

A new vote chart, because I find them helpful.

[/spoiler]

gnarlycharlie, I did eventually answer how I knew about Captain Klutz. Are you referring to something else?

You were pretty intent on asserting I was unconfirmed, which was not all that reasonable a position to take at the time you were doing so. It was, and is, suspicious to me. I think your “Record” as such is indeed votable on day three, or I wouldn’t be voting you. The “scum were trying to save Texcat” doesn’t strike me as particularly great right now, but I could still be convinced. Otherwise, what else is “votable” that’s going on right now?

I don’t disagree that I’ve been lucky, but I’m not sure how you are particularly in a position to know that. I’ve made mistakes, and I’ve acknowledged them. I don’t think my reasoning skills are better than anyone else, but I’ve not seen any particularly cogent reasoning from anyone else either.

Other people, when they start talking more, start seeming less scummy. You seem more scummy the more you are talking. And very defensive, given how little traction the votes on you are getting.

Eh. you are unconfirmed though. Probabilitywise, the odds are that you have been telling the truth, but true confirmation is only found in death.

Yeah, fine.

I don’t think anyone could look at my play, and the circumstances surrounding it, and think that it’s worthwhile to be suspicious of me though. And even unconfirmed, there’s no reason to be eager for me to make my power(s) clear. If a claimed Holmes votes for someone and doesn’t say why, doesn’t it make sense to give them the benefit of the doubt for a little while? That’s all I hoped for. Maybe I shouldn’t have.

My confirmation of Klutz, similarly, I’m not sure why it was so important to know exactly why I knew it at that moment. I decided not to fight it, but I kind of regret it now still.

It’s hardly an open and shut case on gnarly, I freely admit. I am more than happy to find or listen to a better case, if one’s out there.

I’m talking too much about myself. I don’t like to monopolize the conversation if I can help it. I’d love to find cases in talking about someone else, but the one other case right now seems to be Texcat. Right now, gnarly is scummier to me than Texcat.

I don’t think it must be so, I just think you are one of the best choices for a vote, that’s all.
I’m more suspicious of you and Texcat than anyone else currently…so, what would you have me do? Not vote for the players I find most suspicious?

Again, there’s a good chance scum was saved from lynch due to Dizzy (and Pleo) getting high numbers of votes in a short order. Since you and Tex were the only other leaders then, it looks good to me.
Vote for me back if you wish.

Argghh, I hate when people do this. No, I’m not telling you to not vote for whoever you find most suspicious, and you know I’m not.

For the sake of this subsequent explanation, put aside for a moment your suspicions of me and get yourself in the mindset of “Astral is 100% grade-A town.” Also, pretend you’re me. Maybe shoulda mentioned that part first.

From my townie perspective, look at your vote on me. It doesn’t look like you have any suspicions of me specifically besides your supposition that scum must have been trying to save someone. You don’t ever lay out what makes me the best choice, or present additional evidence for my scummitude; you’ve just decided I’m the scum and that’s it. You haven’t laid the groundwork for your decision that I’m scum, from my perspective.

Absolutely vote for whoever most pings you. If that’s me, fine. But when I criticize your choice of vote, it’s crazy to suggest that my argument boils down to "don’t vote for players you find suspicious "

Idle: any reason you have for dismissing Pleo as scum?

Just wanted to confirm that I’ve seen this - I’ll spend more time looking at those four later, but I’m bearish on pizza and Astral now, I don’t think they’re likely to be scum with Chronos given the vote record and the back-and-forth between them. Of TexCat and Pleo, I’m suspicious, but neither have said anything that really makes me more bullish and want to buy into a lynch of one of them yet. If I had to choose, I’d say TexCat is the more likely of the two to be scum, since it’s relatively easy for scum to pick someone they would know isn’t scum, and defend them, to be vindicated later.

What? Have I done this? I don’t think so. I have said that a few arguments did not make sense, like Idle saying that Mahaloth’s gambling remark came out of the blue. That was not so much defending Mahaloth, because I did vote him Yesterday based on his volunteering to be lynched, but more of pointing out where Idle was wrong.

I was quite ready to vote for Idle when he made that ridiculous post about Mahaloth, I knew exactly where **Maha **was coming from, it looked as if Idle had just read Maha’s posts without the surrounding context. It looked like scum trying to make a case out of fresh air but I see Idle has changed his mind and admitted he was wrong. I had such a feeling about Idle being Town but now the doubts have crept in.

I also have doubts about Texcat ** being Town, I voted for her on D1 and then changed my mind after Dizzy** thought I had a good catch, I was so convinced that** Dizzy** was scum, apparently forgetting her own clue but maybe I did have a good catch?

Vote Texcat

Just putting my money where my mouth is.

Pizza’s posts just go over my head sometimes, I think I know what he’s on about and then he twists things around and I am left stranded again, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is scum. He likes confusing Town and posting so much that Town doesn’t know whether they are coming or going.

Vote AskThePizzaGuy

If you don’t like my vote Pizza then you should be more forthright and stop trying to confuse your Townie Team with reams of confusing text. You are playing as if you and you alone can find scum and this does not sit well with me, been conned too many times by your arrogance. (still loves ya pizza)

This post pinged me as Texcat being scum, Diggitt looks very Townie at the moment, if he was scum, why bother to even post this after the fact, I think Texcat is trying to look townie. My first thought was uh-oh we have a definite false clue here. So all Town has is ONE false clue so far, the one that Chronos posted just doesn’t count, he could have made that one up.

Diggit could have made his up also. I guess I see the whole thing as being WIFOMy. I don’t know whether diggit is a townie posting it after the fact when it makes sense or a scum canny enough to play the long game. From an informational perspective, the clue doesn’t tell scum anything they wouldn’t have already known.

You are right but I don’t see scum motivation behind it. Scum are not stupid, they have a team behind them reading everything before they post. In this game I always look for scum motivation as opposed to scum wouldn’t do that, it has served me well. Scum do what will best serve them and being a bit odd at times might serve their cause well, mostly not. Why bring a light onto a post? No no no, they want to hide in the shadows and watch Town fail. Diggitt is defo on my Town team at the moment. Texcat, on the other hand, is sneaky and underhand as scum, she has no problem getting rid of her scum mates (sorry Texcat, nowt personal).

I answered this on the day I voted for Tex and AR and NOT Pleo, but here it is again:
Because the Pleo train of votes that he got on that day seemed to form just as fast and awkward as the earlier Dizzy one did. It really looked (to me, anyway) like one side was scrambling to get him voted ASAP in order to save someone else.

The votes on AR and Tex, on the other hand, built up slowly, over time. It was only after those two were in danger of being lynched did Pleonast suddenly get a huge amount of votes in a very, very small amount of time.

But you are totally ignoring the reasoning for the votes. The votes on Pleo were for non-participation, so of course they would come late in the day:

And if you think that scum was voting for Pleo to save me or Astral, why aren’t you going after the Pleo voters?
