Yes, I think sooner or later a supposed Beat Cop has to die and the town have to make what they can of the results, which will be presumed true or false based on the supposed Cop’s actual role. It’s hard to fit into a role-playing paradigm but just from the point of view of the game I guess it becomes necessary. (Excuse me. A friend dropped by this evening and after a few beers plus some Calvados, metaxa and brandy I am quite mellow, and not 100% coherent.)
Sorry if all this math is not altogether helpful but each to his own. Others have tried analyzing posts and, as previously mentioned, this is still resulting in a lot of town dying and not much scum. I know that I don’t need to finish this game alive to end up on the winning team and the best I can do for the town is to crunch numbers and consider logical possibilities.
Bah! Did you even read what you wrote? Basically your defense to BlasterMaster for all your actions was something like - I voted for them because that’s what I thought I should do.
You never explained why you thought someone needed lynching just that you thought that they did. Yeah, there was that thing about a network of people, but I think you were just trying to flush out some masons. Seems that you ID’d a couple too, doesn’t it?
The real clincher was not Fern Forest. It was the compilation of all the things that Blaster Master pointed out.
So what if you defended Auto? You were the only one who did. He was acting so screwy that one person’s defense would not save him from the gallows.
Besides, why are you getting so defensive when ONE person - just me - acuses you? You have one vote against you and five days to worry about. Methinks you want to convince everyone else that there is no need to go digging through your past posts.
IIRC Rysto is generally trusted because he posted a spreadsheet a while back, as well as coming up with some very townie sounding advice way back on like day 2. I think he has given some “at the time sounded very townie” advice more then once. Due to this he has not pinged anyone’s scumdar. Regardless I think we can ignore him today as he will not be here at all for this day cycle to defend himself.
I like what you have done brewha. I like the investigations of other people. It is necessary to do this if we will have any chance of winning at all. This day needs to last a long time, maybe the limit, and we need to have discussions of as many people as possible.
Q, you’ve been doing astounding work for the town. Let me take this post to apologize for having suspected and voted for you back on Day 2.
Also, I feel guilty for not helping out. You have done Aguecheek, hocow, Malacandra, MonkeyMensch, and Storyteller. Brewha/BlasterMaster have done Lakai. Sturmhauke and Pleonast are masons. We seem agreed that Mennochio was the ‘breadcrumb.’ If Q isn’t a townie, well, I just don’t believe she could be mafia after so much work – and it pretty much has to be straightforward reporting/analysis or surely a ‘victim’ would have raised a ruckus by now.
That leaves yet to be dissected: ArizonaTeach, Brewha, Cowgirl/Smitty, FretfulPorpentine, Kat, PygmyRugger, Rysto, and StarvingButStrong.
So I’ll volunteer to do Starving.
Yeah, I guess not. Queuing, would you like to assign someone to me? (I say that figuring you’re probably halfway through someone else by now, and why duplicate effort? Also, if anyone else in engaged on an ‘autopsy’, please speak up for the same reason.
I’m willing to do one, too (slight preference for Smitty / cowgirl because I’m curious about him / her, but I’ll take what I’m assigned). However, I probably won’t be able to post anything until midday tomorrow at the earliest.
brewha- unless I’m getting confused, pima checked out Lakai the night before last and reported him as town. I realize that’s not exactly definitive (insert discussion of exactly how definitive it is or is not here), but it’s good enough to push him down the FoS list a bit, I think.
Question for all - I know that there’s been some vague suspicion directed against MonkeyMensch, but I can’t seem to figure exactly why. I’ve browsed his posts but am not seeing anything particularly egregious. Can someone summarize the case of People v. Monkey?
So I am just saying you are wrong on this too. Sorry, because I like that you went back and are going after Lakai, but I needed to point this out as soon as I realized it.
This makes me think Monkey Mensch is part of the Mafia even more then I did before.
Fretful, Lakai said s/he was going to be “looking at cowgirl’s posts” already, so I would suggest someone else. You want to do, say ArizonaTeach?

Starvingbutstrong, would you like to do ArizonaTeach?
Fretful, Lakai has said that s/he will be “taking a look at cowgirl” so I don’t know, want to do brewha?
Ditto here. I’d be happy to do one (it beats doing five!), but I would not be able to do it until Saturday morning, because I don’t have access to the board at work, and I am babysitting my niece tomorrow night. (Although I may be lucky enough to be able to do something after she goes to bed.)
You didn’t close the quote tag on brewha’s quote, and it was discovered elsewhere on the board that doing that results in a blank post. But you can see it all when you reply with quote. So I just quoted your post and closed the quote tag.
[QUOTE=brewha]
Monkey was one of the first that swayed the vote from Fern Forest to Suburban Plankton. If he was scum, why would he do that? It would have been so much easier to just keep his mouth shut. As it turned out, Fern Forest lived (at least thru the lynching) and Suburban Plankton got lynched./QUOTE]
Just want to say this impression of MM is not even close to correct.

Ok, so you want some assignments do you?
StarvingButStrong, want to do fretful?
Fretful, want to do starvingbutstrong?
Kat, hmm, no partner for you! Well, how about brewha?
lakai said that s/he was “going to be taking a look at cowgirl” so lets see what that comes up with.
I do think it is necessary that you post actual links to the individual posts. To do this click on the post number and open in a new window or tab, or whatever, then using the insert hyperlink in advanced post copy the URL.
Yeah, I think that’s better than having me and StarvingButStrong investigate each other (because if, hypothetically, we were both scum, that would not be good). Better to have people investigating and investigated by two different parties.
Yeah, I guess not. Queuing, would you like to assign someone to me? (I say that figuring you’re probably halfway through someone else by now, and why duplicate effort? Also, if anyone else in engaged on an ‘autopsy’, please speak up for the same reason.
