And is more worried about being lynched than night killed because he has a 1-shot protection from NKs?

If the seer investigated Chronos and you redirected them to Hal, would the seer just get the result: scum, or would they get the result: Hal is scum. I can’t see how this is supposed to help LUTHA, not to mention town.

The word cult is underlined. Perhaps for ready swapping if the message goes to a different group member. The SK is traditionally a role is supposed to kill us all, regardless of faction, right?

Oh! That’s a good point, a definite possibilty and makes sense. And that underlined cult was bugging me.

Interesting theory.

I’m tempted to let it be. I’m probably not going to be lynched if people think I’m a cultist, and my non-lynch is good for my team.

However, you and others might make conclusions based on that theory and that would be bad. So I’m going to choose correcting you even if it increases the odds that I get lynched today or the near future.

I am not a cultist. I am town.

Farewell, HookerChem…

Some random thoughts -

Odd choice for a night kill, isn’t it though? You’d think a claimed role like MHaye would get more attention, but he’s survived through a day kill and a night kill.

Agree that Koldanar’s claim as the pope of LUTHA-town seems odd, but I’d hate to read too much into the wording.

Surprised that Johnny B. is still alive - he’s taken over as the most prolific analyzer of things, a position that usually attracts scum attention.

Also, I want to apologize for my low content here. I’ve discovered that I like the idea of Mafia games, and following the games, more so than the actual playing of the games. So, I’m trying to find a way to contribute here, but I’m pretty lost - and I don’t really have the mindset for the accusation-based gameplay here.

That said, I’ll try to ramp up this week, and find a way to add something helpful into the mix.

The only mod kill for the Day is going to be **Total Lost - Vanilla town**

I may kill some more people at dusk, but I can’t see any way around removing Ullz. Sorry lady, you know I love ya, but it’s been about 3 Days since you have really participated.

Total Lost has…um…lost, and is removed from the game. She does not count towards any additional lynches since it turns out she was never playing.

Wait, what? It sounds like you just said you’re simultaneously safer and in more danger if people think you’re a cultist.

Thank you for the claim, though.

[My original Day 6 (Post #65) case against\*\* Zeriel\*\*](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20003950&postcount=65).

[I respond with follow-up questions](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20009344&postcount=153).

The response (D6 #114) is **Zeriel** ’s sole contribution on Day 6. He brushes aside my questions about his original inaccurate account of his \*\*Pepperwinkle \*\*vote and changes the subject to \*\*Johnny Bravo \*\*and **Plumpudding**. He thinks \*\*JB \*\*might be overreaching on his “okay” case against \*\*Khameleon \*\* and is suspicious that \*\*Plumpudding \*\*has not followed up his case against **TexCat**.

However, \*\*Zeriel \*\*has yet to follow-up himself on either of his two D6 arguments. He did not answer my question about being pressured to vote for **Pepperwinkle** on Friday with more than 2 real days still to go until EOD.

We have instead from \*\*Zeriel \*\* the Day 7 vote on \*\*cookies \*\* and the strange “thought experiment” about what if the wrong number of LUTHA claim.

It reads to me as if the comments Day6 #114 were designed to just change the subject and to pretend to be playing.

I like this case even better now.

It implies that right now scum is more concerned with cultists and perhaps each other than they are with town. Probably means we aren’t currently leading.

This is one thing I want to look at today. Given scum have consistently been killing high volume posters, any high volume posters who have not been killed should be under greater scrutiny.

Right now, a suspected cultist is less likely to get lynched than a claimed town. Not sure what I said that was inconsistent with that.

Town still has the numbers we are 11+3  
Scum is 3+4  
Town needs 7 more dead (the Scum)  
Wolves and Mafia need a bit more carnage than we do

By all means, scrutinize away. I’m happy to address anything you’d like to bring up.

However, I don’t think we can say that scum have “consistently been killing high volume posters.” I’d have to go back and look more closely, but I remember thinking that Paul’s death was the first one in a while that seemed to have been motivated mostly by post volume. You should feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Hell, I’ll just go ahead and post all the day/nightkills to help you get started.

There are certainly prolific posters in that bunch, but scum have also done a hell of a job taking out our power roles. How many of those posters can you reasonably say are dead because of their post volume?

Hey, I can answer this at least.

I was told by the mods that the target would receive note that something happened -

[QUOTE=storyteller0910]

[QUOTE=Koldanar]  
Ah, thanks! Question 2 : If I redirect someone that investigates, will they know they were redirected.

Say the seer investigates person x. I redirect to person y - does the seer get a response saying “Person X is a \_\_\_\_”, or do they get “Person Y is a \_\_\_\_”  
[/QUOTE]

They get “Your action was redirected; Person Y is a \_\_\_\_.” Though the color will be more fun than that 🙂

I don’t know, you have to ask them. Given that they are leaving a watcher alive though, it seems like they are hoping their scum adversaries get caught.

1. We = town
2. Cult are not town, at best they are neutral, so they shouldn’t be added to the town number.
3. We do not know if their are additional 3rd party elements.
4. Town will always have an advantage in numbers. Otherwise they have already lost. A 11-7 ratio for Town to Scum is very bad for town. It doesn’t mean that town (we) have lost, and multiple scum groups help, but it doesn’t look great.
5. My comments were more what scum perceive lead to be rather than what I do.

1-but you said in 5 above…

2 “YOU WIN if the total number of living Mafia/Wolves is greater than or equal to 50% of the total population AND greater than the number of living Wolves./Mafia” they do count for the numbers.  
3 True

4 -it isn’t great but with Scums wincon we are ok just now.  
if I have the right of it–  
Mafia is 4/21 they need 13 dead ( and not their own)  
Wolves are 3/21 they need 15 dead including 2 Mafia ( and not their own)  
5. You didn’t preface with that ( that I noticed) - so your ‘we’ in the last bit was ‘we’ as Scum?

There was interest in cultists claiming, it’s possible Koldanar saw it as the best time, a unforced claim is more likely to be accepted, but he can still be hiding something. As for MHaye, I don’t know, even if he doesn’t pose a threat, he’s as good as confirmed as possible, scum must have seen a bigger threat or target in Hooker: Hooker was advocating a mass claim, unvoted Cookies in case she was a bomb, had indicated that TexCat was his next target, and previously had voted Nanook - multiple potential reasons.

I don’t have much of a problem with his role PM, it’s a little different but the tone is consistent, it’s the switch I think is really weird - informing a hidden third party of the existence of another hidden third party and that they are dangerous to a supposed survivor group? Isn’t everyone a danger to a survivor group?

And this is what’s holding me back, why add the bit about Glados? Why edit the powers sections to be so fluffy, rather than comparing to the known role PMs, why mess up the claim?

Oh, so Ender investigated D3 and you redirected him N3 - seems like a really, really weak power, once per cycle, only for one phase, when so many roles are either passive or act in one phase only, but it also seems to add up.

As for MHaye, I don’t know, even if he doesn’t pose a threat, he’s as good as confirmed as possible, scum must have seen a bigger threat or target in Hooker: Hooker was advocating a mass claim, unvoted Cookies in case she was a bomb, had indicated that TexCat was his next target, and previously had voted Nanook - multiple potential reasons.

But, how do you see that making sense for Scum?

We had 0 zip knowledge of GLADoS prior to the switch claim so, yeah.

again, agreement here.

Thanks, that all makes me feel a little better about you, but I’ve got to ask, What were Questions 1 and 3? :dubious:

I understand there has to be a Q1 prior to a Q2-- but where did I miss Q3?
