You voted Renata on Day 2.


Ladies, I thought you had my back? :(
As for my activity; This game has shorter rounds, I went to bed at 08:00 AM CET and before that I only saw useless accusation of Secura, I woke up about 20 minutes ago (17:00 PM CET). There wasn't much to say about the Secura bandwagon, I trust that she can take care of herself.

Now, to vote. I've always wanted to do this. :$

Seriously, though, how do you defend yourself when you're innocent? I almost never get votes as a townie. I have no idea how to do it. I'd probably look like scummy with scum sauce.

Edit: Actually come to think of it, in a recent game on another site I picked up four votes one day. The first one was OMGUS from a townie I voted for, so that was all right. The second one was scum-bait from someone I was 99% sure was townie, so from my perspective that was :inquisitive:. And then I got three and four back to back from the scum and more or less lost my mind. So scummy with scum sauce is probably accurate.

Pretty convenient claim when you could still be scum...

I'm not a bad musical artist, just someone who has made some bad public appearances as of recently.

I have sent Renata all my information, she may relay any and all of it, to whomever she pleases. I will vote: Believer. When I said earlier on in the thread that he appeared to be one of the Killers, I should have perhaps gone with it. It seems a bit circumstantial, and perhaps obvious to make The Killers, well, the killers. Something rings not well with him to me, then again many of you have tweaked a sense at some stage or another (although perhaps it was just my sense of hearing, after all this is music mafia).

I haven't seen your face, therefore, I am not a believer.

Something tells me Split. Believer didn't wanna vote for Split, but I suggested he was Split's partner and insisted he make Split die.

Robbiecon, however, is also very much attracting my attention. You folks all seem on edge.

Maybe he doesn't want to vote for me because I'm not as suspicious as you think :shrug: I can't read his mind, but it is certainly decided on someone else. Pushing his vote onto me because you think I'm guilty is just robbing the town of his opinion.

No, that last bit felt real. One of those tells.

Split and Believer aren't both mafia together. They would have had brainwaves that meshed together, rather than tripping over each other, especially with regards to the tally.

You'd think Believer would be aware of his own votes and his partner's votes.

Something is amiss. One could be guilty, the other, is not. But I am interested to hear from the other people in this game and how they feel about these candidates.

Renata
06-09-2011, 21:26
If you have nothing better to do, day two and three vote progressions would be useful.

I figured If I elaborated or even hinted at my popularity it would be a good way of clearing me at least a little bit. When I'm in the spotlight why would I not at least try to clear my name a bit?

I want to maintain that I still suspect robbiecon, but clearly the arguments aren't convincing enough for a lynch just yet so my vote's better placed elsewhere in these circumstances.

When it comes down to brass tacks, I'm finding split's evasiveness when questioned a little more jarring than Believer's behaviour; explain yourself split, and my vote goes elsewhere.

It seems to me that you're implying that, while your role has had bad press recently, you're actually a popular musician; what I don't understand is why you'd mention that specific piece of information, it's almost as though you're trying to handwave potential scan results against you.

It's interesting how these two points contradict one another; I can't make out whether you're trying to say that you're Good Popularity (but not so much so of late due to negative press) or Neutral (there's sufficient divided opinion on you to categorise you as such, like Lady Gaga).

I knew it!

Your role's tough to define in terms of popularity, really; your music's good and you're popular in that respect, but your life is pretty messed up and the media loves nothing more than to highlight this fact. I'd guess Neutral, but it's a hard one to call.

As for your favour with the DJ, you're definitely Good, not that that accounts for as much; it's entirely plausible that we're going to see a mafioso that is considered unpopular but is loved by Diamondeye.


Well if I were bad popularity I wouldn't be much for parading it around would I? The contradiction exists for good reason, I can say that.

It's down to interpretation though, since my interpretation of a person's popularity might be different to someone else's; prime example being robbiecon's claim as Kanye West, someone who I feel would be Bad Popularity but it's sufficiently debateable that it's not a viable argument by itself.


Of the two options Split seems the more suspicious plus if he is Kanye then surely he would have to be bad favour bad pop.

This is the argument against robbiecon that I gave in the last day phase and it was largely rubbished; why the change of heart? Also, we can't assume favour as easily as popularity, as it requires guessing on DE's music tastes, really. :P


1) Robbie just claimed Kanye.

robbiecon insinuated that he was Kanye in the last phase, it's only in this phase that he's come out and said it outright.

There ye go, you caught on. Yeah I was surprised initially that I wasn't bad, but I take it that this is an overall measure of someone's carer, both the good and the bad moments, the music and the artist. So that might make a bit more sense...




robbiecon insinuated that he was Kanye in the last phase, it's only in this phase that he's come out and said it outright.

Hence he "just" claimed it. It was like, 4 posts before mine that he said "Only Kanye comes up, which is me."

WE don't know how DE set up this game so anyone could be viewed as being a potential mafia. Well Britney has waned in her popularity , so it is possible that she is scum, but we can't tell unless the mafia be honest, but I doubt anyone would do what Visor did, or we have a scanner that can scan for that activity. Basically it is guess work at best on what we are going on with this game, since we have no clue on what the criteria for bad popularity is. So this game is pure guess work.

WE don't know how DE set up this game so anyone could be viewed as being a potential mafia.

I don't agree with this, since the setup for the game is pretty easy to understand.

Popularity, and thus alignment as town/neutral/mafia, is based on the musician's reception in the world, such as record sales, media attention and so on; it's fairly easy to estimate this if you become aware of another person's role.

Let's use robbiecon's example of Sir Paul McCartney; the guy was the bassist in the most successful band ever, their music still listened to generations after it's release... it's pretty clear that he'd be of Good Popularity. Compared that to Lady Gaga, who is an outstanding musician but has just as many detractors as she does fans, so it's harder to justify that she'd be Good and you'd be more inclined to label her as Neutral.

DJ favour is essentially Diamondeye's own opinion of the artist, and is harder to estimate because it requires one to know DE's tastes; based on some of the things I've seen him listen to via MSN, I can make broad assumptions of certain roles like Britney or Gaga, both of whom I know he loves. However, not knowing whether DE likes or dislikes that artist isn't as important as knowing their popularity, and thus alignment.


Well Britney has waned in her popularity , so it is possible that she is scum

What are you basing this on? I don't see it myself, because on every occasion where she seems to be at her lowest ebb, she bounces back and knocks her critics for six; she's just like Gaga, you either love her or hate her... I wouldn't call her unpopular.


So this game is pure guess work.

The last two music-related games that I played (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and it's sequel) were apparantly pure guesswork, and I cracked both of those... if one has a decent knowledge of music, the games aren't that hard to figure out.

It is better to make my vote count for something that just let it sit idle. What if it is correct?

@Secura. You do have expect that some people from certain groups will be classified a certain just because it would be crazy it not be that case, but I doubt that DE would make it 100% that way so it is not obvious to the town and make it winnable that way by just knowing who the person is playing.

Popularity is down to interpretation really, but I still think that's the way to eventually win the game.

Its comparing on how you define popularity. Is it within a certain group or is it in general? All these musicians so far are popular amongst certain people what kind of musicians are truly hated by everyone? Even people like Miley Cryus and Bieber are beloved by their demographic in the case of bieber to the point of insanity. I feel that it will be much harder to figure out popularity dj favour would be easier since we know at least broadly what kind of music de would like

It's general popularity, because otherwise everyone would be Good if it only considered their specific fandoms. Bieber and Cyrus have their fans certainly, but there's just as many people who loathe everything about them; in the context of this game, they'd both be Neutral I think.

As for musicians being universally hated, mebbe... look at Chris Brown; the guy has some catchy songs sure, but he happens to be a cowardly thug who attacks women. I'd firmly label him as Bad Popularity as a result.

Renata
06-10-2011, 14:12
Anyone just plain obscure would work for bad popularity.

The issue for me is whether or not DE would give the mafia cover roles with good or neutral popularity. If he did, then every incentive is for the mafia to use them, whatever they are. If he did not, then there's little incentive to try to fake anyone who's not unequivocally popular. I'd expect him to, though.

I'm actually going to go with you on that unless I change my mind again in the next hour or so. CH is rather on the scummy side.

Votes:
Day One -- meaningless late vote on B-ray, took townie b-ray to 2 votes behind townie JHT at 3
Day Two -- last vote on Auto, put Auto up over Secura
Day Three -- bandwagoned Visorslash on "not good for town" basis, but only *after* ATPG, TLD and Romanic (odds at least two townies in the group) had done the same. Prior to those votes, had argued that Visor was probably townie (though maybe mafia) and refrained from voting.
Day Four -- Voted ATPG because ATPG's vote switches looked fake; timing was after all the initial discussion of split/believer/robbie; but before the split bandwagon got moving. Once it did, CH tacked a vote onto the end of it, putting split up two over believer.

There's basically not a thing here that gives town vibes; even the thing I thought there was was me mis-remembering something. CH is avoiding most of the discussion, almost always voting late (day one and two) and/or with a comfortable bandwagon for cover (day two, three, four). The only vote that was different was IMO a bad one (I dont' think ATPG is actually giving that vibe), and managed to avoid the main topics of discussion, at that.


I'd also like to hear some comments from Secura on her day three actions, due to a potential connection with CH. Besides CH's day two vote, there was this. Vote tally at end of day three:


Visorslash: 3 (Romanic, Classical_Hero, Believer)
Robbiecon: 2 (Renata, Secura)
Classical_Hero: 2 (AskThePizzaGuy, TheLastDays)
Csargo: 2 (Visorslash, Robbiecon)

(A late vote from Chaotix on Robbie and an unvote from Romanic were not counted, for being after the deadline.) Prior to the robbiecon votes, CH was in significant danger of being lynched, as I was voting him instead. After Secura voted robbie, so did I.

Secura:

You took the words straight from my fingertips!

I think that this is a poor vote with no explaination beyond 'mixing things up'; robbiecon, why would you want to do that when there's a handful of people who merit a vote? Visor, TLD, myself, Believer, autolycus... so why vote for Ichi?

I'm going to follow my suspicions in early rounds, as I can vote: robbiecon with a little more confidence. :3

Why not CH in that list of vote-meriters? He had 3 votes at this point. And how does this square with your just-stated opinion that I should be voting visor (presumably, instead of CH)?


This is still a bad outcome no matter what happens; masquerading as mafia as ultimately led to Visor being outed as a town investigative role... even if we call his ability to scan DJ favour as a bit 'meh' (that's open to discussion though, I think it has it's uses), the mafia still have a power role to target over the coming night phases.

If you see no merit in his claimed ability, it's better to follow through on the lynch to be certain that he's not playing a Xanatos Gambit... I think that if we pooled together knowledge of what the goals are for each level of DJ favour, his ability would gain more use.

That list of "vote-meriters" wasn't definitive or anything like that; I named those that I'd seen under pressure even if it was for trivial reasons, though I cannot offer a good reason as to why classical's name was not among them other than that I cannot really remember anything that he's said or why people have voted for him. The same applies to my votes today, split and Believer were sticking in my head and that's where I hung my hat.

As for stating why you should vote Visor, that's already explained in the post you've quoted, and an earlier one where I stated that you should lynch me if you had any qualms with my own professed innocence; at that point, I believed Visor's own claims and was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt... it doesn't extend to classical because he hasn't been on my radar at all. >.<

That was an early rule, it was changed so that Popularity was the main factor in deciding one's alignment, and that DJ Favour would decide one's secondary goal instead. It's perfectly possible to have Bad Popularity and Good DJ Favour, and indeed I suspect that this may be one of the paradigms we'll see when the roles are revealed at the end...

As for her bad favour with the DJ, it's doubtful; I know that Diamondeye is a fan of Britney, touched upon earlier in the game by Romanic in reference to his avatar over at CFC (t'was Britney, is now Lady Gaga), so it's likely she's Good Favour in that respect.

End of day four...

The Artists seemed not to let their lack fo success so far deter them from arguing against each other up and down the walls and lobbying for executions right and left, and the day was indeed filled with hateful accusations - some wanted to execute Spl1tp3r50nal1ty, evidently on charges of being one mrs. Britney Spears. They wouldn't find out today, though, because public opinion swayed against another suspicious character, Classical_Hero, had attracted lots of attention at the end of the day. When the final vote was tallied, he had sneaked into the lead. It was not comforting to him. He idly swirled a drumstick between the fingers of one of his hands.

"So all of a sudden, I'm the lead suspect? Ain't that just fantastic? Ain't that just against all odds?"
"Well guess what, you're gonna have to come and get me!"

He found a drumstick with his other hand as well, this one stained in dry blood. "Must have been an accident somewhere..."
Out of nowhere, a female figure bounded from the crowd in a series of athletic and aesthetic coreographic movements. He foot ended right in the face of classical_hero, sending him flying from the ledge onto the floor were he landed with a sickening crunch.
"You want a piece of me, huh?"

Classical_Hero was Phil Collins!

Well I wasn't going to bring up Enya, since CH did vote for you earlier today for a cruddy reason (and you not being a huge advocate of scum-on-scum bussing usually), and for less-defensible gut-feeling reasons. But I don't know. If you are good/good, all I can think is maybe DE's going on that sort of enduring low-level popularity that Enya seems to have (always on movie soundtracks, sells a lot of records to the more mature crowd, etc), as compared to Phil Collins, who was hugely popular at one time but has since sunk entirely into the abyss.

Fixed teh link.

I wouldn't go as far as to say "insisting".

Also, I wouldn't exactly go as far as to say that clears him. Having suspicion and voting someone is one thing, but being absolutely sure based on nothing is actually more indicative of knowing for a fact they are scum. Which leads to detective (he didn't claim such) or scum.

I'll double check my chats with him. I just am cautious about drawing conclusions because as you and I both know, Renata, scum are usually involved in bringing down other scum. Either by bussing, or bandwagoning when it is too late.

Sounds like genuine suspicion. He didn't really insist on C_H, he just didn't think Split was guilty I guess.

For me, I was away during the entire exchange (sleeping) and I left my vote on Split because he's an admitted neutral at best. That means he's one less person the mafia have to murder to win, and potentially, one more vote for them. And he didn't claim any awesome pro-town Neutral powers that could assist us.

I cannot believe I didn't OMGUS vote classical_hero, after many, many, many games in a row where that turned out to be winning.

Overtly sexual and inappropriate for human consumption. It would make your eyeballs bleed.

I spent most of the time pressuring him and accusing him of being mafia with Split or possibly Robbiecon. He took it rather well, and had an excellent sense of humor about it. I eventually decided he wasn't guilty.

Then when he completely bungled the tally, I was certain he wasn't mafia. Which reminds me, why would I think he's mafia now. Hmm.

I guess for being correct on Classical_hero before most everyone else. It's a possible tell; although I have to admit it's more common from townies, especially since he backed it up with votes and didn't switch away from it on his own.

Neutrals are a potential problem, and not one I'm sure what to do about at this point.

Being the one claimed Neutral thusfar I'd like to hear out your concerns, what exact problem is there potential for?

Renata
06-11-2011, 01:16
Neutral role issues --

Option 1: Victory conditions and/or capabilities. Autolycus seems to have been a serial killer sort, for example.
Option 2: Being alive at a point where siding with the mafia might make more sense than siding with us.
Option 3: Lying about being neutral at all.



Thanks, Csargo.

06-11-2011, 01:27
True enough, but you need to take into account secondary goals and flourishes.

Some people might be more interested in attempting to secure a total victory rather than just the simple one for a main VC.

If you look at Autolycus, he was neutral favor and neutral pop.

His Secondary VC probably had something to do with this SK-ness, and his flourish was probably something even stranger.

With Neutrals I don't think it is as black and white as selling the town out.

edit.
Despite this reasoning I do understand your problems, I'd just like to say I'm more willing to work with the town that you might give me credit for. Other neutrals I cannot speak for however :bow:

Music Mafia
End of night four...

After the Artists had gone each to their own, Renata had started his nightly practice; He needed her shape to be better than ever for a grand tour that he had been planning for some time now. He was so busy that he only noticed the figure behind him when he moonwalked into him. He looked down at the stranger. "Hey kid, whatcha doing here?"

In response, the stranger simply pushed him backwards.
"Hey! Beat it!" Renata raised his fists and tilted his fedora. "You wanna be startin' something, huh?"
"As a matter of fact, I am!"
Renata shrieked in pain as waves of horrid and mindbreakingly bad music washed over him. His attacker looked down at the broken musician.
"Well, that was a thrill, huh?"
Renata seemed incapable of replying. The attacker kicked his prone and lifeless body and left the scene of the crime.

Renata was Michael Jackson!

And while she has made some bad decisions, she I imagine would qualify for good popularity.

If split is neutral, (did he claim to be Enya, or was that privately, I don't know, and I don't have enough spare time right now to fully check out), then I'm willing to let him off too.

This is entirely based upon the vote that killed CH. It was a pretty close vote up until the end.
1. ATPG - Weak candidate, can be accused of talking me out of voting CH and bandwagoning split.
2. CB - Strong candidate. Has posted very little useful and voted just to stay under the radar.
3. Believer - Moderate candidate. Can be accused of scheming behind the scenes for my private talks with ATPG/Renata/Secura. Can also be accused of bussing CH.
4. Robbiecon - Weak candidate. Can be accused of trying to save his scumbuddy CH. The vote was unclear with a steady increase of votes on CH, good round for town and hard for mafia.
5. Csargo - Strong candidate. Can be accused of trying to save CH. Not much else to go on here, but I feel he's the right choice.

Well, I'm struggling to understand the reasoning behind it, so attributed it to his flourish since I hadn't realised he'd lost that with the JHT lynch.


Why would Enya of all artists have that flourish? That sounds odd.

Well, Pizza's claim to be Enya hasn't been proven either way, but I have received word of a scan result that confirms his role's gender as being female; we also know from Visorslash that his favour is Good, but neither of these are indicative of innocence or guilt.

I've been mulling it over ever since Pizza revealed as Enya, and I cannot for the life of me understand how she'd qualify to be on the same level of popularity as Michael Jackson or even be considered more popular than Lady Gaga; if you think about it, Enya would be a genius cover role because there's so much ambiguity about her popularity that it'd take an alignment scanner to truly figure her out.

There has been something off about Pizza in this game, but I can't quite put my finger on it yet.

That's fair enough, but then I guess you can provide reasoning as to why I warrant this renewed suspicion. I wouldn't mind knowing why I should be considered more suspicious that some of the other remaining players, either.

As I mentioned to several other players, I view the current situation as one of two things.

1) Classical_hero was caught based on good old fashioned town consensus, and everyone who voted for him is innocent.

2) Classical_hero was thrown under the bus by his mafia partners.


The first situation isn't very dangerous at all, as it leaves few suspects to lynch and then we've won. In that case we don't have much to be concerned with.

The second situation is dangerous, as some people will be given a pass for the next several rounds, and those are the very people who were behind Classical_hero's death. If he was bussed, I don't feel like it was done as an afterthought, because nobody really falls for that. It's actually a common scum tell.

What does work and what does fool people is when you bus your partner while under no pressure, for no reason. It works especially well in a game with revealed alignment upon death. Typically, you either begin the wagon yourself or join it early. Beginning it yourself smacks of PIS, which is why I'm not letting some people off the hook for pointing their finger at C_H all game. In fact that tends to indicate the opposite in a not insignificant number of examples. Especially if they're rather vehement about it.

Could be me just being paranoid, but I think I can afford to be, here. Either the situation is as straightforward as it seems, or it is not. If it is not, the danger lies in unexpected places.

I'm pointing my finger in the general direction of the accusers and wagoners of C_H. No one specifically yet, but I felt like you've been too cautious or neutral-sounding in your posts. You'll comment but not vote or lead the discussion anywhere; it feels like you're letting the game happen rather than actively looking for scum.

This is still in the generic, but it is leading to the specific. General scumtells and tactical maneuvers are what I'm using as a basis for my current thought process. I'm not completely sold on anyone, not you, not anyone. I'm not going to give anyone a pass, or assume that there isn't any fine print involved in the marvelous gift which was C_H's lynch.

Split on the other hand seems to have admitted his neutrality and survival win conditions. He will be a problem in the later stages of the game since he effectively adds a vote to the mafia side. A combination of "there's still time" and I have only a vague idea where to point my suspicions means I'm fine with accusing and voting suspects or getting rid of Split. I'm not going to continue yapping on about why, it should be obvious it's not a good idea to leave neutrals around, especially when there are no other very strong leads.

I don't effectively do anything.

I don't understand what it is that you would rather axe me, someone who came forward and said "Here's what I am, here's what I am supposed to do," rather than other people who are far less honest.

I don't understand why you look at me and assume I'm going to :daisy: the town as soon as possible when I haven't been contacted once, and if you keep up this talk of lynching me I'm sure they won't even bother to kill me or contact me because I'm a good enough point of contention. I have other goals besides my primary survival objective, namely that of being a decent townie.

I don't know why but I just feel like you're loosely trying to point the finger at anyone, hoping people join along, and if that doesn't work, rally fears against split, he's not a "good guy" like the rest of us! Why does it feel like you're simply stalling?

Askthepizzaguy
06-12-2011, 18:58
Nothing personal, Split, but you do have a track record of being dubious when there's any possibility of betraying the town.

It's not even that, really.... neutral in a small game. They don't have to contact you. You don't have to have any current intent of turning on the town. You don't even have to want to do so in the future. All that matters to the scums is that you are one less person they have to murder.

You don't have to go daggers on the town or have any contact with the mafia to be a real threat. I'd prefer to lynch you over a likely townie, because we are likely to lynch a townie at this stage of the game, but we know what you are, and we don't have to lynch a townie this round when we have you.

Again, it's not personal. I have similarly been tossed to the wolves in spite of my good intentions as neutral, many a time. Just part of the game, man.

I'm pointing my finger in the general direction of the accusers and wagoners of C_H. No one specifically yet, but I felt like you've been too cautious or neutral-sounding in your posts. You'll comment but not vote or lead the discussion anywhere; it feels like you're letting the game happen rather than actively looking for scum.

This baffles me.

How can you say that I've been "too cautious" when I acted as I did at the start of the game, a manner in which almost got me lynched and takes cojones regardless of alignment? How can you say that I've been "too neutral-sounding" when I accused robbiecon, pressed split and Believer last round, you this round? And finally, how can you say that I'm not "leading the discussion" when I'm poking around and trying to get responses from people, such as the elusive Believer?

As for my votes, they're as follows:
D1: johnhughthom, random vote, first post I made.
D2: Believer, I took a while to vote as I was more focused on responding to accusations and an increasing bandwagon.
D3: robbiecon, my first post of D3, then through two pressure votes on split and Believer, eventually changed to classical_hero after a discussion with Renata

Only during this phase can you say that I've been hesistant with my vote, but can you blame me? I've levied accusations at robbiecon and Believer, and nobody's given two hoots! -_-'

Name any game other than Capo where I've actively betrayed the town. :Daisy:, name all of them.

Capo is a good enough example. We were winning, you were under no real threat, and I was keeping you protected. I even trusted you with my information.

One black mark is all I need. How often have you been neutral? :inquisitive:


The way you're making things it seems like I might as well just go out of my way to spite you, but I won't.

As I said, you don't have to. If this were just Split's track record I was dealing with, fine. Everyone betrays. Everyone is untrustworthy. But you're a neutral in a small game, and that means I just cannot trust you. There's not enough rounds where I can ignore you indefinitely. In Capo, the threat of neutrals is when like 8 or 9 rounds have gone by and they still make up a significant portion of the vote or if there's too many scums to kill and not enough time to wipe them out. Big games give you leniency on neutrals. Small games don't afford you the luxury.

One dead neutral is superior to one dead townie right now, and is roughly equal to one dead scum regardless, just because you either are scum or can win with them.

It's a simple decision for me. Small chance of lynching real scum, large chance of lynching townies, or 100% chance of destroying a neutral. Gotta go with the obvious winner.


You're still dodging my question. Why does it seem like you're stalling?

You'd have to answer that question, as you're the one implying that I am stalling. I don't know what you're referring to.

Split on the other hand seems to have admitted his neutrality and survival win conditions. He will be a problem in the later stages of the game since he effectively adds a vote to the mafia side. A combination of "there's still time" and I have only a vague idea where to point my suspicions means I'm fine with accusing and voting suspects or getting rid of Split. I'm not going to continue yapping on about why, it should be obvious it's not a good idea to leave neutrals around, especially when there are no other very strong leads.

At this point there are better places for your vote than on split. We know he's claimed neutral, and I believe that is true at this point. We've got CB and Believer in my mind are good lynch choices at this point. After they're lynched then we should lynch split if there are no better choices.

This baffles me.

During this day phase is what I'm referring to.

Acting in a manner that almost gets you lynched isn't a free pass to innocence. If you start something like quoting Gaga over and over, and cease under pressure, does that reverse people's opinion of you or reinforce it? Do I believe you can be incredibly ballsy as mafia? Yes. You're far more nervous when you're townie, too concerned how others might view you. As scum, you don't ever act like you're stressed or anxious. I can't name a single time you've behaved that way as scum, and I can name several games where you've been scum.

Can I blame you for being hesitant with your vote? If I can't see why you should be, then yes. Levying accusations and voting are two different things. Why aren't you backing up your accusations with votes? I have.

I'd prefer to lynch Split and let the mafia tell us who we shouldn't be lynching with their murder.

Let the scums murder townies. I want someone who is as good as scum in a small game dead first. Then, with better odds of lynching scum, we should try the blind finger pointing. At least get the odds on our side.

I completely disagree. It's more pressing now. Later, we will need those lynches to be on scums, not neutrals.

The initial phrasing came across as though I've been hesistant to vote throughout the game; my bad.

I can't name a single time you've behaved that way as scum, and I can name several games where you've been scum.

I didn't claim that acting as such proved me to be innocent; the only thing that will prove my claims is death, an investigator or the game ending with me still alive. I can agree that I've played ballsy as scum, but there are occasions where I've been highly stressed; losing AVSM on Night 1 in Shadow Fort, constant fear of being lynched/killed in Noblesse Oblige or the final tug-on-my-heartstrings outcome of Haiku Mafia all ring out as specific examples I can recall.

The difference here is that I'm vanilla, and as you have so often told me, you might as well play ballsy in that situation because the only impact you can have on the game is with your posts and your vote. If I'm going to die, then at least I'll have gone out with my head held high rather than lurking through to the end, no?


Can I blame you for being hesitant with your vote? If I can't see why you should be, then yes. Levying accusations and voting are two different things. Why aren't you backing up your accusations with votes? I have.

You see no reason to be hesistant in voting, and why would you; when Pizza speaks, people generally listen, I've been saying this a thousand times over about the Gameroom. I accused robbiecon earlier, and nobody batted an eyelid, not even robbiecon himself. How am I supposed to handle that?!

I'm not accusing you per se, I'm asking questions and trying to understand your approach to this game better; my vote will follow soon enough.

Scums?

As a host of games, I don't design them with 1 SK and 2 scums unless it is a mini; it's too easy for the SK to wipe out half the mafia team by himself. It could happen on N1 if he's lucky and there are only two scums.

I figure 3 scums, 1 SK, a couple neutrals, a pair of townie detectives with different uses, and vanillas.

1 scum, 1 SK dead; 1 neutral and we're good to go. :cool:

Not if you make Split dead. Then you've got mostly townies and the two scums remaining.

Basically, you lynch a townie today and it's almost over. You lynch Split, you buy time and one less vote for the mafia, and more importantly, you don't lynch a townie.

Anyway, if Pizza's theory that there's two mafia remaining is on the money, then I'm not going to waste my time trying to lynch a neutral who could very well help us out just as easily as he could the mafia.

Instead, I'm going to follow through with earlier suspicions and vote: robbiecon... I've seen nothing that changes my opinion there.

In this pile of people, there are at least TWO Neutral/Good characters

My guesses would have to be either Romanic, TLD, or Csargo. You guys are playing rather quietly. You're not lurking away, but if survival is your goal then you appear to be on the correct path.

I would also speculate ATPG, possibly with his flourish not being what he originally stated it to be, and more of it being a goal to get a specific artist lynched. But that is just total speculation...


IF Eminem was not a SK like we presume, then I imagine there are one or two Neutral/Neutral characters that still exist.
Again I would say Romanic, TLD, or Csargo would be one of those.

Vote: Robbiecon you were accused by Secura and haven't said much, what gives? You claim that your mind is "on another planet" and you are skimming the thread quite heavily.

End of day five...

The fifth day seemed to be one great brawl; the remaining half of the Artists seemed to be encouraged by their catch from yesterday and were all eager to follow up on their suspicions. But as to who were suspicious, opinions were sorely divided. The small group shouted at each other louder and louder until someone just shrugged, yelled, "who cares about this guy anyway" and pushed robbiecon off the ledge. They fell silent as they heard Robbiecon's voice as he fell towards the floor.

"Kanye ain't hating on nooooboooody." Slam.

Robbiecon was Kanye West

Even if you spared me from the lynch now, someone would only bring me up as a possible candidate at a later time, which is terrible when numbers dwindle and each lynch becomes more important; so, if there's any suspicion as to my role, then it's better to get rid of me now rather than leave me alive and have the hard choice come up later.

Of course, that's if the mafia leave me alive as lynchbait rather than outright kill me.

Night five ends...

AskThePizzaGuy was sitting, humming to herself. She couldn't hear the soft footfalls of the gracious assassin who walked in on her. The assailant glided up behind her like a snake, listening to the harmonic mumbling the always so verbose singer was reduced to at night. Finally, it forced a string of cloth over the head of the unsuspecting victim and strangled her to death. In the lack of humming, the fine footfalls were still almost unhearable as the attacker left the scene.
