If there actually is a pure sacrifice in this game and you know it could you please tell us who you are. I feel that we both benefit if we lynch the mafia.
As Montmorency says, BSmith is most likely to be scum if you look at who got killed.

Who are you talking to?
There's only one townie besides you, and I doubt he's exceptional in any way.
I'm talking to them. I just mean that the pure sacrifice doesn't have to be afraid to step forward.Quote:

If I'm the pure sacrifice, I don't know it. I never received a PM giving me any role. It's probably a red herring at this point.
Yesterday, I was willing to take BSmith down, but it's freaking a lot harder when you know this is the lynch that seals it. Between edse and BSmith, neither one has really engendered a lot of villager vibes in me.
Vote: BSmith
I hate voting with mafia, even if they are dead. But Monty makes a few points. Monty is there something else that makes you so sure?
Vote: BSmith
You can't be mafia if you openly decline to be the pure sacrifice. Seems like the mafia are just unpure souls that need no be killed for the rain to return.
I'm not Mafia:I'm lawful-transcendant.
BSmith exhibits, for instance, the same sorts of tells that got Chaotix wagoned and alerted the other Gods to my identity.
To say nothing of his hollow and one-note denials...
I'm kind of glad I don't have to make the choice. Could be any one of ya.
This is all unbelievably predictable. I was already coming around to the fact that the last killer was either Lewwyn or Lazy, and that the results of the night would tell me who it really was. Let’s face it, neither Edse or I would have been killed last night, as we have both garnered a lot of attention in the thread and it would be dumb to kill one of us.
Lewwyn – you have played remarkably well this game, so if you are successful in lynching me today, hats off to you. You really do deserve the win.
But I am going to make one last stand here.
First off – what exactly is the case against me? The fact that I am still alive and am a capable mafia player that could have pulled this off to the last day? Or is it something more concrete? So far every accusation against me has been an unsubstantiated case with nothing solid.
Here are some recent examples of what I mean:
What tells exactly? Lazy votes? This is an empty accusation that sounds good on the face of it, but really is a bunch of hogwash. And how exactly am I supposed to deny these accusations in a way that you wouldn’t consider hollow or one-note. It’s not like I have a role PM to share with you all or a way to independently confirm my innocence.Quote:

Think about this for a minute, only one of the three us is the killer, yet both edse and I don’t “engender villager vibes”. Not only is this a baseless accusation, but it is meant to spread the wealth as far as possible. How do we not seem like villagers. Examples would be helpful here.Quote:

Speaking of solid cases. Here is one for you. Subject: Lewwyn.
He has played a great game and has not really been the subject of much scrutiny most of the game. He came close to being lynched early on, but was pretty masterful in getting out of it. He didn’t crack under the pressure. Hell, even I have been fooled by his towniness until recently. But there are some convincing things that do stand out:
1.) The DaveShack kill. Despite the general unease many expressed about talking at night, this may have been the best thing to do, as a lot of discussion about the remaining players was had, with specific attention to DaveShack and Edse. DaveShack was top of my list and was certain to get some play vote-wise the next day. But he got killed. Not a very smart move for a killer as he would rather off someone who isn’t likely to be lynch bait.
But this is the kind of “mistake” that someone who wasn’t online to see the discussion could have made. He would have sent in his orders early in the night, and then woken up to see that his choice in kill was actually a blunder.
The next day I thought of this, and checked to see who had been online last in hopes of finding one of the players had not been online for a while and could have made this “mistake”. Well most of you have the last activity function turned off on your profiles, so this didn’t lead to much, but we do have one post that gives us an answer:
Shortly after this post is when DaveShack defends himself and Lazy buys it. It is completely plausible that Lewwyn saw this retraction and decided that DaveShack was a good choice for the kill, then logged off and went to bed, missing the later discussions on DaveShack that raised his suspicion yet again. Lewwyn even points out the next day how it must have been someone that missed the later discussion in the night. Someone just like him.Quote:

This is his way of continuing to build a case against me so that I would be the eventual lynch target instead of him at a later time.
2.) Similar to this last point, is Lewwyn’s attention on edse. He has been consistently suspicious of edse most of the game, but one post sticks out to me on this:
That “silent deflection” was almost always people, Lewwyn included, that were voting for edse moving on to other more suspicious targets. Yet in the context of Lewwyn the Killer this does make sense to post as Lewwyn is working to keep the suspicion level high on edse to keep attention away from Lewwyn himself and to provide a scape goat target to keep alive to the end.Quote:

Yet he has mentioned it several times in the game. It’s almost like he is trying to sound townie and identify with those of us that really didn’t get a role PM.
4.) Lazy’s Killing. What better position to be in as the last scumbag then to have two alternative targets that are much “better” than you? As I mentioned earlier in the post, both edse and I have gotten a lot of attention over the past few days. Either one of us could be the lynch target with a little work. Hell, it is working right now with both of you voting for me.
Edse and I have both been cultivated for this moment. You don’t kill off your carefully cultivated lynch bait when you are in the end game. You kill off the unknown vote – the one who isn’t going to get any attention against them. If edse or I had been killed, then it would have been an open game (especially if edse had been killed). Totally unpredictable – which is exactly what you don’t want if you can do anything about it.
Lewwyn killed Lazy to eliminate this unpredictability and to leave his two carefully cultivated lynch bait targets alive, so that no matter how the day went he would have a good chance at lynching one of us instead of him getting lynched. A masterful play, but perhaps too much so. It is all too perfect.
It is really quite clear to me now that the last killer is Lewwyn. The only thing that remains is to vote: Lewwyn.
-----
@edse It’s all down to you now. Do you want to win this game? If so, then switch your vote to Lewwyn. The game is in your hands.
{haunting}Excellent post. If Lewwyn is the scum then hats off to him..whoooooo-hoooooooo{/haunting}
Excellent job.
No one can say you didn't go down fighting, scum.

Unless its you of course.Quote:

I actually think edse is innocent. Move forward to that quote of me voting for edse. That's actually the last time I voted for him. After that post, edse msged me and asked me if I thought Lazy McCrow was guilty and whether I would be interested in voting for him instead. I responded somewhere in the middle, because I still suspected him. Thing was I felt like edse was innocent after that msg. Maybe I'm crazy but it really felt villagery. And after that I never voted for him again. So while I still found some of edse's posts terrible scummy, I mean some of his accusations have been really short and not very informative, I kept thinking about that msg. Basically the only reason I'm not voting edse is because of it.Quote:

When he did that the vote was tied at 2 on you and himself, but since the vote on edse hadn't changed while the vote on you went from 1 to 2 that put edse as the vote that reached 2 first and therefore if day ended the one to be lynched. Why would edse switch his vote in a manner that put him at risk? That's actually one of the reasons I switched off of WHite_eyes at that time. I was sure that Lazy and edse were innocent. I thought that either you or White_eyes were the last killer. So I switched onto you to protect him even though of the two f you I suspected White_Eyes most. Something you eventually took advantage of by bargaining us all to move to White_eyes.
So let me address your case against me.
1) Just to clarify my TZ is +8 GMT. I'm in China. If you want to go back and check the times, you're right I did miss the last part of the discussion. In fact I don't even remember at this point which posts I saw when I went to bed. So yeah. I don't even remember. I can't really argue against this because I don't really think there's an argument here.Quote:
Originally Posted by BSmith
2) I guess I've already addressed this, but after that post you quoted I've never voted for edse because I felt he was innocent based on the things I mentioned above. And again he sent me that msg after the post you are highlighting. So at the time of the post I was still really suspicious of him.
3) I don't remember saying it so many times. I DO remember saying it today. Mostly because I was specifically claiming that I was the pure one. I mean how else do you claim your role?
4) Actually if you had been killed instead of Lazy I would be voting for Lazy because as I said I think edse is innocent.
I mean wow. As far as last stands go this is pretty awesome. I mean I cultivated you? The only problem with your whole argument is that I already believe edse is innocent. Something I've been pretty careful to avoid mentioning because I wanted whoever was the killer to think I still suspected him. I mean unless edse actually is the killer, in which case, HE"S the one that played the masterful game. But I'm feeling really confident in my vote on you. I was really hoping that if White_eyes wasn't the killer that I would survive the night for just this reason. So yes as you say you kill off the unknown vote. You couldn't know if I would vote for edse, but you knew for damn sure that Lazy would vote for you. If I were the killer I would have killed edse. Lazy was voting for you all of yesterday and he would have voted for you again today. Based on your own argument, I would have been better off killing edse.Quote:

I need to correct an inconsistency here:
Edse switched off of me to White_Eyes only after I came off of him. The count was 3-2 against me when Edse posted this:Quote:

If you thought that edse was innocent, then why the statement about neither one of us “engendering a lot of villager vibes”? That statement was today, and not earlier when it would make sense to hedge your bets in letting on that you thought he was innocent.Quote:

I would like to hear what some of the dead (and presumably innocent) players have to say on all of this. Your win or loss is tied up in this decision as well...
You're looking at the wrong vote switch. I'm talking about when edse and I were on White_eyes. You and White_eyes were on edse. Then Lazy voted you. edse then switched to you. When he did he put White_eyes at 1 while the votes on him were still at 2. In that case the vote for you came after the vote of 2 on edse so the tiebreaker would have killed edse.Quote:

Well if you are who you say you are, and I am most certainly who I say I am, then it means that edse is our guy...
I am not planning on moving my vote either, but think about it. I'd also like to hear from edse on this, and of course the dead players opinions would be welcome. We do have some time here to work this out.
Are you guys really wasting so much breath trying to convince ech other?
:laugh4:
There's only one factor of any importance here...
I do still have a not-insignificant sliver of doubt about this. :laugh4:
Hi!
Vote:Lewwyn
Hey Pretzel, I suggest, if you want to at least have the pleasure of seeing your opponents lose, you place your vote on the Champion.
I knew edse was going to have a cakewalk if he killed lazy...totally fits his MO throughout this game. Town is just going down without a fight.:shame:
Oy gevalt. :no:
Well...you won your victory with Chaotix and edse...I would be happier personally.:shrug:
"Pro-town roles", what a joke.:no:
Did you not note that there are multiple teams?
How exasperating...
Did you not note that your all scum with your own agenda?Quote:
