Sunday, March 5.

A lynch of a third party is a mislynch. Do you consider it plausible that he is actually scum trying a crazy gambit? Or do you think that LUTHA represents a threat that must be addressed now?

Earlier toDay (post 63) I suggested that any other lutha deacons investigate Koldanar and report toMorrow. Why the desire to lynch him now?

The masons cannot talk privately.

I’m a little confused. Did I read this wrong? It seems so obvious.

snfaulkner and Johnny Bravo vote for Khameleon, so he pulls out a magic bag:

The very next post is:

A magic bag, then immediately saying he trusts Lakai. When I read this I was trying to remember if there was an investigative role he could be claiming, but we seem to be out of those, so a mason seemed much more likely. Why trust another player, and be willing to state it so assuredly, if you don’t know they are town?

So it was no surprise when he claimed:

If it’s a false mason claim he won’t last long at all. What’s confusing is how everyone ignored that he outed Lakai with his trust. Maybe he didn’t mean it as the most obvious breadcrumb in mafia history, and maybe people are ignoring it so scum won’t notice it, but if it’s so obvious to me I don’t think scum could miss it. It’s even possible that he didn’t mean to imply that Lakai was a fellow mason, but he did that before officially claiming, and he italicized it and everything.

Nanook, why are you voting for a probable mason? Did you miss the italics?

If Khameleon’s claim should be trusted barring a counterclaim, then Lakai should also be trusted unless someone says otherwise.

If Khameleon is false claiming mason, and there are three masons not keeping up, how do you see him surviving to end game? Any one of them could pop up at any time and counterclaim him, or worst case they could all be modkilled and then Khameleon would be outed. Why smudge a claimed mason like this?

Did you also miss Khameleon’s breadcrumb? Why look back at Lakai at this point, with the assumption he might be scum?

I feel like I’ve stumbled into Bizzaro Mafia. Am I just punchdrunk after the RL week I’ve had? Someone please confirm that Nanook and Johnny are either missing the obvious or I am.

  • Claims included with a grain of salt.

You know what? I’ve repeated my opinion on Koldanar and his claim so many goddamned times over the last few Days that I’m not going to repeat myself.

Yes, I noticed the italics. If Lakai would like to claim Mason, Lakai can claim Mason. If Khameleon would like to out Lakai, Khameleon can out Lakai. I’m not going to do it for him and why on earth would you? You basically just outed a player who may or may not have had a claim forced upon them because it was “so obvious” that it must have been noticed by scum?

No. No, no, no, no.

Here are your post-counts for each day.

Day 1: Six posts.
Day 2: Nine posts.
Day 3: Four posts.
Day 4: One post.
Day 5: Three posts.
Day 6: One post.
Day 7: Three posts.
Day 8: Two posts (thus far)

I’m sure you had a rough week RL, but you’ve been avoiding this game for a LOT longer than that. You frankly should have been modkilled a long time ago. Today you pop in just to potentially out a Mason?

I don’t know whether I believe Lakai is one or not, but you seem to believe it, and you’re shouting it from the rooftops.

unvote
vote nesta

Hey peeps. I should get my vote out today, since I won’t have time tomorrow. I could revive my vote for TexCat again, but I’m not sure what she’s been up to the last weeks. Anyone have a short review of her they’d like to share? Anyone else wanna try to convince me to join in on their case? It’s not lazyness, I promise, I’m just swamped and have too much other things on the table right now.

I’ll be less busy sometime next week, I think. I was kinda hoping to be eliminated before the 17th of Feb, as I knew I’d be way too busy to play properly. Sorry guys.

Yes, you have repeatidly cast doubts on LUTHA, Koldanar being the most recent. Captain Klutz asks the key question, though, which I’m not sure you have ever really answered. Do you think Koldanar is scum false claiming cult, or do you think all the cult members so far have been lying about being non-exclusive?

Remember, the point is to win. And to win town needs to kill the wolves and mafia. If cult is non-exclusive they count towards town’s win condition, and against scum’s.

Town wins when 14 Scum players are dead. Scum wins when either team is greater than 50% of the population.

Johnny, do you think the LUTHA wincon is non-exclusive?

I didn’t out Lakai, Khameleon did. If you think scum missed such an obvious breadcrumb I don’t know what to say. You noticed it, yet you went on to cast suspicion on him. What was your motivation there? Do you doubt Khameleon’s claim?

No? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no? Needs more noes.

Yes, it’s been a rough week. And I’ve had a lot of them during the course of the game. I’m sorry I even brought it up, but I’m sleep deprived and after catching up on the game last night I couldn’t believe the horrible play I was seeing. So much so I asked that others chime in to see if I was out in left field.

I expected your vote. I’m an easy target due to my low participation, and you like easy targets.

I shouldn’t have been modkilled, but thanks for that. My participation has been low, which is anti-game, and I feel bad that I signed up thinking I would make time for the game but have had a hard time doing so. On the other hand I think your participation, prolific as it is, has been anti-town. I haven’t decided if I think you’re scum or not, but you are hurting town and deserve to be called on it.

If Lakai wants to claim mason, or Khameleon wants to do it directly for him, then I’ll move my vote. I’m not going to assume an “obvious” breadcrumb actually is a breadcrumb in game where we’ve had vanilla town proclaiming exactly the same thing repeatedly. Remember paul and angel? Angel and like 5 other people? Remember all the meta discussion from 3-4 Days ago? Don’t assume it’s a tell rather than more of the same.

Unvote Nanook

Vote Johnny Bravo

I find Johnny’s behavior today very scummy. First, there is his vote for Koldanar, when it is the Town win condition to kill scum, not cult members. In his last post he mentions that Koldanar admitted to editing his role PM, but all Koldanar did was bold or underline a part of it. Nothing really deceitful to merit suspicion of covering up a hostile win condition.

Then, after Khameleon claims, Johnny tries to cast doubt on her claim by saying he can’t be confident there are other masons watching.

And then he does an analysis of my posts and says that Khameleon had an “egregious “me too” vote” on Nanook. I think after she claimed mason it should be pretty obvious why she made that vote.

It seems like every post he makes is advocating an anti-town action.

I think the cat’s out of the bag now and I should say that I am a mason and so is Khameleon.

Well glad to see all my medical shenanigans this week has not been a hindrance for you guys good luck puzzling it out

On refresh I see that Lakai has claimed.

Can you remind me what you referring to with “where we’ve had vanilla town proclaiming exactly the same thing repeatedly. Remember paul and angel? Angel and like 5 other people?” Are you referring to Angel with the 4000% (or whatever) statement that [I don’t remember who] was town? I’m not sure what you are referring to with paul, but he said a lot. What specifically was analogous to this situation?

I hate to keep harping on the italics, but that’s more than vanilla town saying “I think this guy is town.” This situation here is very different. Khameleon clearly outed Lakai, while magic bagging mason. Johnny Bravo says he saw the breadcrumb. Did you?

I made it pretty clear that I would likely be changing my vote, but okay.

I won’t apologize for being extraordinarily frustrated at the lack of play in this game.

I was actually correcting Nanook here - you’re taking me way out of context.

I’ve answered that repeatedly.

Oh really? Prove it. Which easy targets have I gone after?

Can you answer it again? What are your current thoughts on the cult, and specifically Koldanar? Are they lying about being non-exclusive? Or is Koldanar lying and is threat in a different way? You’ve advocated lynching claimed cultists this whole game. Sum it up. Why should town concentrate on cult rather than scum?

OK, I’ll take a look to confirm my memory that you’ve been going after the easy targets.

re-reading this Day
I picked a few nits.

Even Town screws up what they perceive to be Town’s best interest. And the ‘numbers’ game has been hashed.

So you *do * believe he is a cultist- and since he is the only cultist you know you might lynch him. But you want to know who the others are. ( not very encouraging for them to claim there)
And since this also a numbers game , not really pro Town smelling.

sure, but so? I don’t see it having to do with much.

You were about to ask * yourself * the same question?

Was this ever answered?

I remembered this post from yesterDay, I thought it was quite scummy, and thought to do a review of Cygnus, I’m quite convinced he’s scum. Take a look:

  • all bandwagon votes, on solid wagons: D3: 11th on Prof.P, D4: 13th on Diggit, D5: 13th on Prof.P, D6: 5th on Inner, 19th on Cookies
  • subbed in D2, 19 posts in total
    D2#1121 Just checking is, has been following all game (so no excuses about catching up)
    D2#1300 General comments, Johnny is townie, Cultists are harmless, Meeko is weird and this gem, which is the start of a trend, Promise #1:

D3#52 Likes ToeJam as lynchee, comments on Drain’s suspects, Prof.P. also suspect:

D3#64 Comments on Sario’s death, too late to be a result of a Night power
D3#68 Gloating about how quickly townies are falling

D3#818 Happy with Idle lynch, votes Prof. P, mild suspicion of Bill, Promise #2:

D4#378 cult is harmless, still suspects Prof.P. Will look at Boozy or Diggit, or else revote Prof.P. Promise #3:

D4#379 Comment about switches and giving scum more info
D4#530 Does not vote Prof.P. again but votes Diggit over Boozy, simulpost with Sunny Daze, when it was apparently 11-11:

D4#582 Byes to dead peeps
D5#16 Wonders if wolves had results on Mafia, to even the score, or got lucky. Assumes Bill was killed by Batman, Promise #4:

D5#18 Wolves can’t kill twice, maybe Whelp was protecting
D5#353 Votes Prof.P., maybe Pleo theory is right, not sure where he stands on cultists now, since none have died, Promise #5:

D5#481 Farewells to dead peeps, nice to see a cultist reveal, Promise #6:

D6#127 Byes, has been following along, case against Inner makes sense, votes Inner, Promise #7 (note the wording “come up with”, the same wording Boozy used):

D6#195 Responds to vote from Klutz, defends vote on Diggit, hopes vote on Inner is good
D7#217 Votes Cookies, doesn’t buy bomb idea, smudgy Promise #8:

D8#45 wonders about NK choice, smudges Johnny for being alive, Promise #9:

D8#105 To Johnny, explains suspicion, but was wrong, Promise #10:

So, from here I see no scum hunting, lots of safe bandwagon votes, a life-saving vote on Boozy, some choice words about the game, lots of unfulfilled promises - some pot-stirring, some smudges, others possibly indicative of busy life, but little or no follow-up - all hollow posturing.

I’ve a one off on Texcat, will move to Cygnus if this gets more traction.

Does this help?
Johnny’s final votes by Day
1-Normal-Town
2-brewha-Town
3-Idle-Towm
4-boozie-wolf
5-Sach-cult
6-Inner-Town
Note he was the very last vote on Boozie when it was a done deal so no real non-wolf cred there
