> [@Askthepizzaguy](#): > > \*\*That \*\*is plausible. Very well done if scum. I trust you a little bit more now. There’s no one here talking to me. Care to stay and chat for a spell? I’m afraid I don’t have a huge amount to add at the moment. I need to go back over the events of the last day at lynch. I want to look at lilflower too - why would she back off creating a tie if she didn’t think BlaM was scum? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk ---

> [@lilflower](#): > > Crap! Now I created a tie. I didn’t mean to do that. I really don’t see the case on Blaster but I don’t want to end this Day in a tie. **unvote Inner Stickler vote Scuba Ben** You said you didn’t like the BlaM lynch, but unvoted when you realised you had a 50/50 chance of saving him? (i.e. in a tie, correct me if I’m wrong, the lynch is chosen randomly between the two candidates) You specifically said you didn’t like the case against BlaM, but then deliberately let him be lynched? ---

Did they have to do anything to drive two mislynches? > > Meanwhile, they’ve been handed a blueprint for every townie’s suspicions, and they’re free to game town by eliminating people they deem most tactically wise. Right now, killing townie Z is a crapshoot for them - they don’t know Z’s power, Z doesn’t know Z’s power, and they don’t know what cases Z might try to make in the future. For all they know, player Q (really shoulda planned this alphabet naming thing out better) would have been a better lynch, because the next day he leads a case on scum R. > > Do you see what I’m getting at? Not to mention it could potentially out Cops. This actually happened when someone came up with the idea of posting “trust lists” in one of the first Mafia games on this board. The Scum went through the lists and found the ones that were the most accurate and used their NK to take out the Cop on either the first or second night after the list idea was proposed. > [@Askthepizzaguy](#): > > I’ll look it over, because I’m not sure of anything except her votes are bad. Define bad. I made two cases (technically I was the first to bring up **Ben** on Day One, that were at least logically consistent, albeit wrong. Alas, Townies make wrong cases all the time. At least I realized it, and have soft-cleared **Ben** as a result. I voted Scum on Day Two. That vote was not supported by much other than a hunch, but I can’t exactly argue that the results are bad. And toDay, I made the first case against **Scathach**. Three Days, and all three times I was either the first or second vote on someone. The time I was the second vote, I had been the one to begin the case the day before, and essentially cuddled a known Scum in doing so. If I’m Scum, I’m being exceptionally bold. That’s why I asked **Ben** what he thought of me after Day 2. I figured that he, of all people, could see that I was likely Town based on the events of that Day. I also thought (incorrectly, as it seems now) that he realized I targeted him N1 and thought I might be responsible for doubling his powers–hence why he made sure to emphasize this to me. I was trying hard to be subtle about that, but was concerned I played my hand too obviously there and might be a potential NK target. Turns out it wasn’t me, it was **Ed** (I will take that at face value, because lying to out the real doubler will get him lynched the second it’s found out). But I digress. An examination of my record will show nothing bad. Wrong sometimes, sure, but not bad. ---

> [@Askthepizzaguy](#): > > Thanks again Weedy. > > I just don’t see Scuba as a top candidate at the moment unless I’m missing something. > > I see I’m pretty much alone on Astral and Brewha. Okay lets hope I’m wrong. With the schools year just starting, and being swamped with work as I’ve taken over as department chair, I’m still in skimming mode. Scuba Ben has slid slightly from neutral to possible Town based on revealing that his action had been doubled. I’m not certain Scum would have easily given up this information in the game thread. This is not solid clad evidence, but it’s enough for me to compensate for my earlier suspicion. ---
