But now that I think more about it, Toejam is a good target for a watcher. Maybe scum will back off him for that reason.
My thoughts exactly. For scum’s purposes, 3rd party and town are the same in that they need to be removed. An enemy of my enemy can be my ally.
Similarly, idle thoughts is likely scum in my eyes, but if the mods are offering to handle that for us, I’m willing to let them.
**I and NAF have conferred. We missed that Švejk pulled out from subbing. It is true he never received a role and this did not affect his decision.
We’ve decided that does mean that Red Skeezix is mod killed. Sorry for yet another mid-day kill, but Red was not contributing or playing, anyway.**
Red Skeezix is dead. He was…Vanilla Townie.
No, no extra lynches. Mod-kills don’t count towards that.
Yes, I do follow.
Yes, I do have new scum moves, but this isn’t one of them. In fact I think you just highlighted a town tell I have I didn’t know about (haranguing people). I don’t do it as scum because I feel guilty about haranguing people when I know they’re town. (Of course that might not be valid in this game as no one knows who’s town.)
(Now I’m going to have to find a way to change that next time I’m scum.)
I believe you, and if this is a scum play, well, you just leapfrogged over Duke Evander (in my book he’s the scum king) and into the realm of The Scum Who Must Not Be Named (someone I don’t think any of you guys know who I still haven’t forgiven for playing me hard back in 2009). Which is to say if you’re scum it’s so brilliant I can’t help but admire it.
And then I realize that it could be both true and you’re still scum, because scum in this game are legally blind.
So I don’t know. I’ll think about it.

<b>Hoopy Frood</b>, I have a scum lean on you because of your vote on me (663) yesterday, to which I gave you a defense (851), and to which you did not respond. I thought it was scummy to ignore my defense and just leave your vote on me as a permanent record without any acknowledgement on my response.

:mad::mad::mad:GAH. LOST MY FUCKING POST. I’ll do it over!

I have issues with this whole post actually. Through these “points” against me, all you do is weakly smudge me, but you never go into an accusation, you’re just pointing at times half the time (sometimes you ask Qs and I’ll address them), but you’re also just setting up kindling. It’s really not cool- because it makes someone else read it and go “huh… maybe he IS suspicious” and it allows for someone else to do the dirty work of accusing me without you actually being the one to start it up. It’s not cool. But lets get to your points.
-
You disagree with my ‘breadcrumbs’. I can’t tell if this is a pedantic argument over what a “breadcrumb” is. But for me: Breadcrumb- any clue left by a player in the game to pass along information to others in a subtle way. “a clue” if you will.
—> The reason I dislike this comment though- is because YOU are actually one of the 4 people who DID FIND ISSUES with my Postings from N0. **You, Sunny, and Satchetorte, Normal Phase. ** But you’re walking away from that- You’re saying “I didn’t see any breadcrumbs”—> Well considering my points on N0 was to basically discuss power roles and how to use them knowing that Townies aren’t looking for people with power roles. Scum ARE going to be looking though for crumbs/breadcrumbs/loaves of bread- any hints that someone may have extra information and or a potential power. See BrewHa and the whole “switches” fiasco. He had some thing, and was discussing it in a way to get more info.
–> Again, that’s why N0 is the perfect place to hid those things. Remember, I’m not trying to get myself NKed N0 or Lynched D1, but I do want to put myself on Scum’s Radar. So I’m sorry my “breadcrumbs” didn’t feel enough to you… despite YOU being one of 4 people to pick up on my playstyle behaviors N0 to start to go after me.
–> Incidentally, 50% of the 4 people are Power roles. The investigator. And the 3rd Party Cultist are in the group with you. In **StoryTeller **I Trust. He knows what he’s talking about when it comes to Mafia. Even if it’s been a few years. -
I addressed this in previous posts. Handicapped docs in large games are less useful. They become more powerful if they can use Fake Cop as a way to try to create false lynches and bad plays by Scum or to draw out the NK (because the Doc would be self-protecting until another Town Power Role is outed, then it’s WIFOM). And every prevented scum kill is a plus for the Town.
-
This is what I mean by kindling. You’re just saying things in without any accusations in hopes to cast doubt on me. You’re trying to call me a liar, but by having someone else call me out on it. It’s shitty.
–> So you find it surprising that I was able to check into the Dope. Send a PM, and then leave? Again. N0 I started planting my Fake Cop seeds. I was Absent D1. I show Up N1, I pm the mods “Protect myself”, and I leave. That I can do in less than 5 mins without reading the thread. Again, I explained why I did this above (I don’t want to break the game or just get the Town Doctor Modkilled or do nothing. I’ll give the Town a chance. I’ll ask for a Sub, and at least the Town can continue). It takes A TON of effort to mod these games, and it SUCKS when inactivity breaks a game or breaks the balance.
But twice back to back you repeat the same thing- you seem surprised that I did that, but you accuse me of nothing.
–> Also, you’re basically passively saying “Oooh, look he lied on N2 about not doing anything N1”. Yeah. I did. Do YOU think hidden power roles need to announce their actions?
Do YOU think the cop should announce who he’s targetting before he’s even claimed? No. You don’t. So Yeah. I lied because I was the Doctor, and I wasn’t going to reveal that I’d been playing alone. -
Again. Pedantic accusations without saying what you ACTUALLY mean. It’s just kindling. I use the term Bus. Meaning to intentionally bandwagon someone. Scum BUS people- They intentionally create bandwagons to kill people. So yes, I believe D2 I was being BUSSED. As in foul play was going on. And I’ve stated why. I think the 2 Scum groups saw two choices: a potential Vig Switch AND a Potential power role that had been hinting all of D2 of being an investigative Role. I think they’d be happen to push either one forwards. Especially if they can do it without the Cop having a chance to claim. Only way to do that is by Bussing. If you want to call it a pile on or whatever else, then YMMV.
-
Interesting. so you wanted me to claim my power role D2. :dubious:
Again- I was under NO hurry to claim Fake Cop D2 all day on D2. I pointed out that I was suspicious, and that I would be happy to defend myself D3. I acknowledged being there to lynch, and I implied I just needed one more Day and we’d get my defense.
—> Now. Here’s the fun thing—> (And something you’d pick up on if You had WOW’ed my D2 instead of just complaining about it): D2 I was again throwing off clues/breadcrumbs that I was an investigative role. Because what VT would beg and plead and be happy with one more Day to prepare a defense? (Again, look at this from Scum Eyes, not Townie. Townies obviously don’t know if I’m scum or if I’m Town. But SCUM…) they look at me and see a person who is okay with being lynched, but wants ONE more Day. So now… what type of Power Role is comfortable approaching the Lynch? What Power Role is okay with preparing a Defense? And What Power Role wants ONE MORE NIGHT to continue on (because that’s what asking for one more day is). It’s not likely the Doctor that comes to mind–> But for scum, a COP. A cop is not afraid of the lynch when they have time to prepare a defense. A Cop WANTS one more chance to continue investigating… and a Cop is arrogant and loud in order to avoid the NK/DK, because if they go up to a prepared lynch, they can reveal.
–> So for the Scum, that’s a Big breadcrumb- they want to BUS that player: Ie: Kill them without them revealing whats in the magic bag. Or they want to push that player into the open, confirm it, and then kill them at Night or Day.
That’s why when you have a player being that complacent about accepting a lynch… don’t view that through townie eyes, but rather Scum eyes and you’ll start to get antsy and want them deader sooner than later. -
This was a Damned if you do, Damned if you dont. I SAID this would happen… I ASKED the Town for 2 days to do a WOW on me. Noone did. And I said it would look SUPER ODD if I had to do my own WOW. And yet. Silence. So I do my WOW, and here you go smearing me for exactly what I said would happen.
–> Are you volunteering to do my D2 WOW then? Or are you just going to complain about it when I do it? Again, if you spent 1/2 the time doing the work rather than bitching at me for doing the work blah blah blah. -
Again. You smudge me. I defended myself against the so-called D1 accusations. You now say I misrepresented it. Why not then point out the parts you still have issue with? Instead you just cast more doubt on me.
-
Again. A Handicapped Doctor in a 50+ Player Game. I’ve explained how the Doctor power is not as useful especially early game. I believe its good play for Doctors to then go for the Fake-Cop role, because it buys the Real cops time, AND it doesn’t hurt the Town if the Doc gets targeted for a NK, because the Doc is protecting the one person he knows who is 100% Town: Himself. A missed NK is a HUGE plus for the Town versus protecting yourself or randomly protecting when you may not even be in scum’s sight.
Again, more crumbs for someone who doesn’t “See the crumbs”.
This post is important for 2 reasons (Which I’m sure in your WOW which is coming anyday now would have pointed out):
–I’m bringing up in the first half the fact that I think there are more kills possible: Ie: that perhaps some kills have been blocked. WHY? BECAUSE I’M THE GODDAMN DOCTOR.
–Again, you don’t accuse me of anything, you just bring up this post and smudge me without saying anything. Are you trying to accuse me of lying? Is that Your goal? That I LIED about being VT and targetting myself?
–> Again, in that post, I’m letting people know (which if i died, you’d see on reveal): EACH NIGHT I’VE BEEN TARGETING MYSELF. I pointed out the idea of VTs targeting themselves, because if a scum watcher LOOKED at me, they’d see me targeting themselves and assume I’m a power role. The intent of that post lets people know what I’ve been doing each night AND it puts WIFOM in front of the scum that maybe I AM just a wierdo VT targetting myself rather than the goddamn DOCTOR.
-
This was addressed above by another poster. Yes. Every power role should be planting breadcrumbs for their claims regardless of alignment. Sachetorte planted crumbs, do you suddenly think he’s Town despite his claim? Someone else pointed out they did it when scum, and that they looked for crumbs when scum.
–> I think you know that too. But you’re just trying to continue to smear my claim -
AGAIN. There’s no accusations. You just say stuff and hope others comment on it or you can stir up suspicions. Do you think I’m more likely to be DK’ed or Lynched today? Earlier I had suspicions. Now I don’t know- it’s up to the Mafia if they want to DK me, or try to use me during the night to block the Wolves or to just save me for a free lynch further in the game when the stakes are higher. Which… if that was the case, they’d want to smudge me repeatedly and continue to do it daily until it becomes a "matter of principle’ that you gotta lynch the Doctor rather than find scum.
–>If you’re accusing me of “yeah, I’m fine with going to the lynch on D3” when I was doing that on D2 (Where I was totally comfortable with being the target of the lynch on D3, and cool with not being the target D2): well… look at my answer to #6…
And yeah- I play arrogant and cocky. Why? Because it creates emotions, I want to piss off and taunt the Scum. I want them to get angry and annoyed and frustrated… because emotional scum are more likely to slip up or mispost or get personal about driving a lynch.
–I see you’ve certainly had feelings about it since N0.
But i’ll do you one better. Unlike you smudging me repeated, I’ll give you a FOS Guiri. This post of yours didn’t really do much to actually accuse me of things, instead you just point to things, you don’t interpret them, but you just leave them for the readers to think about without context/further explanation. It’s really smudging, and I don’t think you’re the lynch play for toDay… but I do think you’ve been picking up on more of the breadcrumbs than you care to admit, and you’re trying to smear me for the future. Guiriand SunnyDaze are the last of the initial 4 who started sniffing around me… and so far I’m 2 for 2 on the StoryTeller Theory of Breadcrumbs (Scum or Power Roles are more likely looking for breadcrumbs rather than VTs).
J’accuse! :dubious:
-R
And why didn’t ToeJam claim then, when he was in serious danger of being lynched? Why did it take a week for him to come up with his role claim. I think his role claim and his silly VT targeting himself is all blather. He supposedly faked being a detective so scum wouldn’t target him? What is more dangerous to scum a doc or a detective? IMHO a dick is more a danger to scum in early days than a doc.
If you are the doc, a really important role for town, why would you fake being another power role to draw attention away from you docness? That makes no sense at all. All it does is draw attention to yourself and target yourself for a kill.
This looks to me like a last ditch, get more info from town before I die gambit, hoping that the real doc claims so scum get a one for one.
No. His reappearance and willingness to answer my direct question with a rapid response in the middle of the night made me doubt his Scumminess. He then posted a WOW defense and role claim. This did not match up with my theory that he bailed under pressure on Day 1. Once **TowJam **claimed I believed him enough to recind my vote.
:D:D:D I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT!!! :D:D:D.
Oh man… I amuse myself sometimes too much.
Don’t forget the time I was **Inara **in Firefly Mafia (a limited protect, who claimed to be a Vig-Doc) who would Kill who ever targeted her. I was just a regular 3-shot Doctor, but I made up the rest to stay alive to use my powers without worry of getting NK’ed. That or the Shoes might have been my first realization of the usefulness of power roles.
Maybe I’m just a VT targeting myself each Night? 
-R
**Hooker. BillMC. Sinjin **
Any thoughts?
I voted prof pepper in post 367.
–> That IS why I faked being a Dick. To be targeted by scum for an NK or a bussing.
Because a Dick is more likely to get NK’ed or bussed than a Doc (who may be up for a slow lynch).
I **was **looking for a NKill.
Multiple Reasons:
- Vig tries to NK me. He knows I’m still alive. It’s a null (Roleblockers, switches, Alphas, etc. Though I didn’t know about switches when I started this stuff N0). But it adds credibility to me at least if the Vig hits me and I live.
- Cop targets me. Cop Sees i’m Town. Helps Me credibility wise.
- Werewolves target me: I’m going to be blocking myself. This is the IDEAL result. Town is spared a Scum NK, and get’s back in control on the Day side of things with lynches, and yeah, the Wolves know I was protected. But if they think I’m a protected Cop, they may try again thinking I just got lucky. But I protected myself again. Again, it becomes WIFOM for them. Then they want to Bus me (ideally- so I dont have time to claim) OR they go for the lynch and hope I dont reveal them in my last will and testament claim.
3B: They for some reason think I’m a doctor. That’s not the first thing one would think of though- because… what kind of doctor would fake play a cop and get heat??? “Town Would Never Do That!” WIFOM! Ha-Ha! I’ll take it. Because the Wolves would realize it… and their Outrider… is a DK Protector killer. It’s the MAFIA Hitman who needs to NK me. But now that I’m out and revealed, then it becomes WIFOM of do i protect myself (knowing the hitman could kill me) or do I protect someone else (Thus, sparing myself from the Hitman, but at risk of the Wolves targetting me). I’ll let each of the scum groups think about that on their boards. Anything to distract them for a while. - The Mafia figure out I’m a cop: I get DK’ed. Then yeah. Good game. But I get revealed that I’m NOT the Cop. And I at least spare the other power roles a chance. Now again, I set this plan up on N0… BEFORE the Cop died and we started loosing power roles. And when I came back D2… I was already in the Noose for D3, so it’s not like I could really play over or change things up.
–> I was pot committed. I guess I could lie about being not a fake cop, but that’d actually be lying about my play this game.
That might work if I was specifically a Werewolf (as again, Mafia are probably pleased as punch I’m out and annoying the Wolves, because they’re not afraid of a night protecting Doc).
–> So yeah. I guess, but I know I’m not going to be counter-claimed and if it happens, then that’s a 1:1 trade and again- see my thoughts on my role, i think it MUCH weaker than a “normal doctor”
I’m a handicapped doctor in a 35+ Townie Game trying to predict the NKs of 1 scum group. :-\

FYI: remember, I’m not easily available tomorrow or Sunday (I’m traveling).
I’ll be around Saturday-maybeish, but more likely than F/Sun.

Idle Thoughts (meta reasons)
Guiri (In Game)
Thing Fish (See my N2 issues with his D2)
SunnyDaze (who got real quiet on me)
BioTop (You’re lower… but you are someone who was going for me, then quickly backed away post-claim)
Please though, whoever doubts me- feel free to do a WOW on my D2, if you take the time, Saturday, I’ll go through it with you then and explain it too. Just try to do a WOW, and try to look at it from the eyes of a doctor… pretending to be a fake cop. And see if it groks.
-R
it is possible - as yet not known.’
we don’t need them dead yet, so no reason to advance Scums wincon - at this time and knowing who has the other switch won’t happen unless they volunteer so my tired self is missing your point here
The sad part is that I think I’m following this crazy scheme and actually understand it!
I don’t understand why we’re still discussing Toe Jam. If we’re not going to lynch a claimed third party with a role that doesn’t seem to make sense, why on earth would we lynch a claimed town doc who could be counter claimed? I’m not suggesting that if there is a counterclaim that they do it now, BTW.
