Mistakes happen. I wouldn't hold it against Shotty to be honest. >.>

I was actually trying to understand his answer..

we still had 24 hours to go and you were nowhere close to being lynched...
Are you saying that you thought you were at L-1 or something?

Yeah.

Hey, checking in to say that I'm having computer problems (broken laptop fan) that kept me from reading/posting yesterday and will make it harder to do so for about a week. I'm traveling today, but I'll try to have something substantial up tomorrow.

There's nothing wrong with that. My point is you were basically tunneling on both Espeonage and I with some side swiping of other players. That to me is a scum tell. My point on the jailing is the fact is it wasn't clear which reasoning. Did you want to use jail to jail scum or did you want to use jail to jail town.

1. I always get accused of "making people look scummy", I'm looking for motivations if I think they are scum motivated then I look at it from their scum perspective. 2. I want to jail the 2nd scummiest player, it makes the tracker's job, etc easier if they can narrow down which scum to track b/c one can't move. If we jail town on purpose we risk roleblocking a PR.

hey guys,
i will be V/LA for the weekend starting in aboutr an hour or so...

(re: #504) Mala is a null read to me; she is flailing around a lot but it doesn't really seem like there is a scum motivation behind it. I found the quick wagon at the beginning of the day alarming, and I would expect at least one of the people involved to be scum. To a quick analysis, you came out looking most scummy, hence my vote. Between the other two, shotgun had claimed VT and so made a good target for jailing: if he is town, we lose nothing, while if he is scum, we've jailed a scum.

(re: #491) Do you have an objection to my vote on sword aside from the fact that he seemed obvtown to some people on day one?

got the prod, work has made posting hard recently, will do better, sorry

More like an observation. The reason you started Defender's BW was because he seemed to be lurking. He got lynched because he did not defend himself properly (see what I did there?). Day one lynches usually happen because of this. However, I don't particularly get your argument. I don't think that his point of view for Mala changed as drastically as you mentioned. You do have a point about sword not mentioning Defender in a couple of his posts after defender was L-2 (I had to check just now to confirm this).

Even if you claim properly people sometimes don't survive. -.-

If claiming == survival, then scum wins straight off the mark. Better post coming soon.

@Psyche: Quoting barely counts as talking. Also, if you have a strong scum read on BK, why aren't you voting him?

483 is an excellent illustration of why I can't go along with the Mala wagon. Is this a high-quality post? No. It definitely favors summary over analysis. But at the same time, it offers clear opinions on many players and an attempt to explain them. We know what Mala is thinking, even if she hasn't yet formed those thoughts into an argument. I have a hard time seeing scum (especially MS-inexperienced scum) being comfortable making a post like this. Practicing the 'psychic-vomit' style without accidentally revealing something is a very advanced maneuver, so it's something newbie scum tend to avoid.

I don't like how BK's last few post have been exclusively aimed at fighting Mala's suspicions of him. If he thinks Mala is scum (and he voting her), why go into a defensive crouch when she pushes back with accusations of her own? From the perspective of someone who thinks they've caught scum, Mala's making OMGUSy noise, not a legitimate argument.

Sorry, I'm on pause right now in this game. I'll be with you ASAP.

Gah. Better post disintergrated due to meatworld. Doing my best, sorry!

I feel like there's at least one scum voting for me at this point. I was thinking BK just because of the tunneling that I stated above. Not sure why, but when someone flails I always associate them with being innocent. It's probably the wrong mindset for me to be in, but that's just my thoughts. Shotty is most likely not lying about being VT so her on the wagon is out. That leaves Swords and BK. Everyone is saying swords was obvstown, but I didn't really see that. I still have a null read on him, but it's slowly increasingly to a possible low scum read, but not enough to vote at this point.

Shotty whats your reasoning for voting me again this round?

I don't really understand the two votes on Psyche. I understand that he's most likely being voted in order to attempt to make him spur his inactivity, but there's others at this point who have almost contributed the same level, but no one has actually attempted to vote them.

As for Thetrollie's lack of posting I understand that RL gets in the way. I'm still getting a scum read because of what I stated before and the jumping on cases. More because Sword was V/LA and the jump on his first case of someone who claimed VT. He also was the only person who made a comment about Swords being quarantined. Though it's unlikely in Day 1 for scum to be defending an absent scum, but it could happen.

I'm going to
I'm not sure why, but this scum read that I have got on him hasn't decreased. I'm also willing to vote BK because I also have a scum read on him, but I'm not sure what way everyone wants to go with their votes.

Honestly I urge everyone to post their thoughts.

hey, i was promoted at work hence the inactivity from me.

@mala, seems like you are voting for me because i havent really done much, which is fair, but give me the night to catch up and I will get back in this game. I am going to start rereading now.

@Nab I answer questions even from scum to further how much I am right. Tunneling on Mala cus I think her early day 1 actions are the scummiest thing this game, surprised I don't have more support really.

See the thing is BK you really don't have that much of a case. You are basing your case mainly on actions or comments that I have made based on my site. The second comment I do have to say was a horrid thing for you to jump on me for. My comment there was basically saying that we most likely have a scum on one wagon, opposing wagon and one is most likely not voting. I don't think that is a bad or even scummy assumption to make, but it's town in my view. I'll have to say this again I am always jumpy when I play, but that is not a scum tell.

Maybe you aren't getting support because you might be barking up the wrong tree. You have been tunneling me mainly, but along with the side swipe of tunneling Espeonage. I'll also note you have said nothing about Espeonage today, do you think he's town or do you believe he's scum also?

@Mala Its simple I feel better about your lynch than espe's. No you misunderstand, your responses to calls against you generally involve talking about the other site to explain all your actions. Is this honestly your first game here?

Yes this is honestly my first game, besides replacing in on the Sora one. I took a few games here though. Anyways the reasons why I was talking about my site to explain my actions is to give some creditably that I'm not so new at Mafia-type related games, but new to this site.

You weren't answering a question in 500. At best, you were volunteering clarification, but you certainly can't claim that it had anything to do with how "right" your case against Mala was. Rather, you were fighting her case against you. Your defensiveness is even more obvious in 528.

I have to be a little defensive since it seems people think Mala is townier than me.

Prod received, sorry for not posting. Says something about the activity levels that my most recent post is still on the same page. :/

My vote on D3f3nd3r had nothing to do with lurking. I felt he was looking for an easy excuse to vote Espeonage and was trying to come up with reasoning post hoc.

I wouldn't say there is was a large change in sword's view of Mala, but a significant one nonetheless. Further, with his comments of "I was feeling like this yesterday but didn't get around to it", it feels like he is trying to make his vote seem more akin to a revote from yesterday as opposed to a new vote, and so make it not look like he is just gunning for a Malaquicklynch.

I'd like to see Psyche and TheTrollie put some votes down and perhaps they and Phill can give us some actual comments instead of just apologies for not posting and so on.

Prod-dodge.
I'll get to something soon.
