Blaster,
Based on your powers/any other info you happen to possess, do you have an opinion on **Naf’s **claim?

Thats a very vague post, Zeriel. I can’t defend myself against “other stuff”, would you be more explicit, please? Perhaps address where my defense to amrussells case is lacking? Or is the “other stuff” something else, that nobody has mentioned yet?
That’s a conveniently vague magic bag you’ve got there, BLaM.
Blam-o, good to see you.
Are you town?
If you are then I don’t need to investigate Dot and will look at Zeriel next.
Evening all.
Sorry for my silence the last day or so. I got through the interview ok-ish. I should hear whether I got the job on Monday. Right now, I’m trying to make sense of what happened while I was distracted. Which necessitates…
a reread. (What else?)
See you soon.
I’ve got not feelings about you either way, just expressing situational sympathy without hugs.
Also, what Cookies said. Nice bag, Blam. Not changing my vote yet.
This was, perhaps, snippy. I apologise.
I’m stuck in an awkward situation, here. My memory did me a dirty, and it’s directly attributable to my failure to pay attention like I should have been. I’ve got no defense for that, and it’s a mark against me that I’ll have to carry for the rest of the game. Having said that, I maintain that the rest of the case against me, in its entirety, is weak sauce.
So, knowing that I am Town, I have two realistic responses. I can lay low, and hope the wind blows elsewhere, or I can defend aggressively, and if I go down, I’ll know that I attempted to pick up as much of my own slack as possible. I’m going to attempt to do the latter. I suspect that some scum will attempt to distort the case against against me and blow it out of proportion, and others will wave it away, if some haven’t done some of both already… shrug I dunno. But I’ve decided that a vigorous defense will afford me the greatest chance of not being lynched, and will afford Town the most information upon my demise, whether that happens sooner or later.
So, Zeriel, I’m going to be paying special attention to anyone that appears to be egging on my lynch with vague statements like the one you made above. I believe I’ve refuted every point made against me so far, except the skimming, so if you’re going to reference those points, I think it’s incumbent on you to be specific and enumerate where you feel my defense is lacking. To do otherwise is, ah… scummy.
Well, ok. Seeing as how I was the scum advocating against your lynch when you made a similiar mistake :D, I hope you can see why I’m concerned about scum weighing in on either side of this debate in a bid for Town cred. This whole debacle of mine is low-hanging fruit, to be sure.
So, humor me, if you don’t mind… what “other stuff” do I not get a pass on, please?
And, if I may be allowed to weigh in on matters besides my own self, color me profoundly uncomfortable with Blams softclaim. I hate softclaims with a passion, and to have one elicited by vote pressure is even worse.
Blam, have you considered that your attempts to vary your personal strategy may be anti-Town?
I don’t know that his changing playstyle is anti-town per se. His chosen playstlye at the moment is though.
BlaM is still online. If he is unwilling to state his townieness he will be getting a vote from me. I will give him a few hours before I make the change. There is little that I like about how he has chosen to play, and if he is unwilling to have me investigate him then I am unwilling to keep him in the game.
At this point, I do not have any information pertaining to NAF and his claim.
Since this is related, I will also address this in one of my rare multi-point posts.
My towniness goes without saying. And, in fact, I’d hoped that you may have considered investigating me at an earlier point, but it is unfortunate that you did not.
NAF, I never noticed how funny and/or smart you are…
…oh, wait–nevermind :smack:
Anyway, I mentioned being suspicious of Blaster in one of my last posts, and I still am. I am also confident that Cookies is not scum. What do I get from this recent, totally weird reveal? A whole lot of no-good-whatever.
Vote Blaster Master
(Off to the dentist now! Fun fun fun.)
I don’t trust cookies…but I don’t trust you either. For now, I will
Unvote Blaster Master.
A vote that will return 9:30 tomorrow unless you elaborate on your 3 magic bags.
EBWOP: Actually, you don’t have to elaborate on all three of them. However, I will vote unless you elaborate on cookies, and maybe on yourself.
It’s fairly simple. I have potentially valuable information, but the manner in which I have obtained it is in an indirect method. If I can provide the information without providing the mechanics of how I obtained it, then the scum will remain uncertain as to how to deal with me.
Further, I am prepared to provide more information but, like I said, I do not think it would be prudent to do so. I have done the best I can to outline the motivation for my behavior without giving away information that I feel would be to the detriment of the town. Of course, you’re free to think otherwise, and I expect you will, as you don’t have the information that I do.
I disagree. What if I had come in here posting very much like I did in SDMB game. People would grow suspicious of me simply because of that. Regardless of what my actual role is, maintaining that playstyle would be antithetical to victory. As I said, I had a gameplan that I felt would work. I don’t see how that could remotely be pointed as anything other than completely irrelevant.
Well, voting Blaster Master did get him out in the open, but I’ll look at that later since I got me first ever mafia vote (Rapier42’s one didn’t count imo :). I can see NAFs case leads Rapier and brewha to want to look at my posts again, but Cookies is already happy to lynch me?
I’m not advocating anything, I’m explaining why I think scum killed Hawk. I’ll try to clarify:
-Each Night scum kills one town (or pfk). This reduces the living players by one. The scum hide under the living players. So this reduces the pool of players to hide in by one.
-By investigating someone as town (confirming if we confirm you), we reduce the pool scum can hide in by one.
-So each Day/Night cycle, if we confirm a living town and scum kills an unconfirmed not-scum, the hide pool reduces by two.
-If the scum kill the confirmed townie, the pool only reduces by one (town ‘lost’ the investigation, scum a possible chance to kill a power role).
Now I see my post gets a bit confusing, because my last two sentence I was thinking why DiggitCamara was a good scum target.
-scum knew he was not scum, so most likely his power claim true (could be pfk)
-the knocks would pretty much confirm his powers
-so by killing Diggit they got a power role who was about to confirm himself.
-because Diggit was not yet confirmed the Night he was killed, he was most likely not protected by the doctor.
- You made a point to say that the scum played well.
Full disclosure, I said they played badly. In the bit Natlaw quoted, and really, they did. Killing Hawk was sub optimal. It wasn’t a bad choice per se, there were just better choices. But that isn’t the point. I don’t think anyone else would have even noticed if they weren’t scum. And if they did, why defend scum?
I made that point because you made a point they made a bad kill with Hawk. In my opinion, it wasn’t (and others have mention this as a scum counter-strategy to your investigations). My paranoid interpretation is that you basically said ‘look at my Hawk investigate, tricked scum good there’ to get town credit with something that isn’t true.
What were the better options? You or pedescribe with possible doctor protection, or trying for another power role in ~18 other players?
Also, this post from Day 3 makes all kinds of not sense.
Nat was sure I was scum when his win condition didn’t match the public one? And then story posted about it?
It’s a kinda meta game comment I shouldn’t have made, so I’ll be short.
My role PM has a difference with the public one. I assumed all town PMs would have that difference, but yours didn’t. Storyteller confirmed it was my PM that had a mistake. Similar to Total Lost jumping on the no capital letters and being completely sure she found scum.
Blam-o, good to see you.
Are you town?
If you are then I don’t need to investigate Dot and will look at Zeriel next.
Probably this is again obvious to you again, but just to be sure: you’re ditching the two-for-one Cookies investigation for the three-for-one Blaster Master one (claims he has leads to dotchans and Cookies’ alignment)?
My towniness goes without saying. And, in fact, I’d hoped that you may have considered investigating me at an earlier point, but it is unfortunate that you did not.
I guess you’re still reading up? NAF isn’t a normal cop, he needs to have true/false statements like “I am town”. You haven’t made such a statement, so he couldn’t investigate). “My towniness goes without saying” will get an inconclusive result (or perhaps TRUE since it went without saying. Clever ).
OK, Natlaw’s post about the scum picking a good target was pretty much the scummiest thing that he has said. I really looked all while trying to keep my confirmation bias in check. There were a few things here and there that could have been scummy, but only if I was under the impression that he was scum. Those things could just as easily have been town. I’ll be keeping an eye on Natlaw, but there’s nothing to base a vote on yet.
As for Blam. No activity for days on end. Finally get a post from him that pretty much says, " don’t vote for me cause I got majiks that I won’t tell you about."
Sounds like scum trying to stall to me.
Vote Blaster Master
NETA
Yeah, Blam, read NAF’s question.
You’re towiness certainly does not go without question. And that fact that you worded it like you did makes me even more suspicious.
