How do you know that pever is doing a good job? As far as I can tell, the only thing he has done is make a personal judgment call on whether Ignoramus' role claim is legit or not. That seems like a pretty low evidentiary bar in a game in which all the mafioso have cover roles, and forwarding of the actual role PMs is prohibited. This is not to belittle pever's analytical skills, but rather to question why you place so much faith in them.Quote:

I don't dislike you at all, Kagemusha. :(
Maybe you and i are just talking different language as any game i have played with you, you have bandwagoned me when ever there has been a bandwagon vote coming my way, no matter was i town or mafia, or where there a case against me or not.Maybe i have just misinterprated you as our ways of speech are so different? I am sorry if i have got the impression that you arent that fond of me, but thats the impression i have, which may seem to be wrong if you are saying so.Quote:

That post is the only time I have even commented on the pever-nexus situation, and that post was intended to question why you appeared to be happy to blindly follow pever's lead without any information. Why are you exaggerating?Quote:

That seemed unusual to me, so I questioned you about it. I apologize if you felt like I was lecturing you, that was certainly not what I was trying to do.Quote:

Maybe because of the laconic wording i use always, you misinterprated what i was trying to say? I am not saying that pever being force ghost will lead us to an automatic victory, but that we can find a good thing from loosing him, by exploiting how we can the fact that we now have a confirmed pro town person+ he has a vote, which might be crucial for the end game.Quote:

And that's all I particularly remember, though I do have a vague sense of having had this conversation before.Quote:

Even potential PIS set aside (which it shouldn't be) that's just such a reflexively scummy thing to do, to be casually dismissive of townie effort without generating any effort of one's own.

Thank you for that clarification, I had erroneously believed that you were backing his pro-town claim. Apologies for my misinterpretation. :bow:Quote:

But since he knows he's bad at fighting, he'd rather die without fighting than potentially exposing a powerful jedi for the sith to target.Quote:

2) What. No. He doesn't defend Ignoramus any more than simply wanting to avoid a tie. He tries to lynch him whenever it's possible without a tie...
3) I don't think that's true. I think YLC suspects Ignoramus as much as some of us, but he realizes that if Ignoramus is a sith, a duel probably won't reveal it, whereas it would reveal some of his defenses if he is protown. I think that's reasonable. Somewhat detached from his care about his own life, but logically sound.
4) Explained above; The way I understand it (he's stated it a dozen times or so, guys!), YLC has realized that it's probably him or YLC. He just wants to avoid a tie between the two...
Duly noted :bow:Quote:

unvote; vote: YLC
Even if I believe him, I think this is the best way to clear YLC of suspicion. We will probably need to lynch Ignoramus as well, but seeing as he is potentially of more use than YLC from what we know, I think it's sound to remove YLC first.
Is it commonly agreed? I must have missed that conversation. It was my belief that duels only demonstrate whether someone is powerful or not, not whether they are Jedi or Sith. If someone seems to be very good at dueling, that's an indication that they're a power role of some kind. Since when is it good mafia tactics to ignore mafia-detection techniques just because they might expose a pro-town role? Town wins are always due to numerical superiority, with power roles assisting if they are skilled and lucky. The town can never count on pro-town roles bailing them out, they need to push onwards with all the tools at their disposal. The power roles needs to help where they can, and do their best to keep out of the way of the lynch. If a power role gets caught in a lynch or exposed by the town, that's the power role's fault, not the town's. In this situation, the town has a tool it can use to spot people who are unusually powerful. Townies should want to use that to get useful information, particularly if they think they're going to die anyway.Quote:

Eh, no, I just think this was YLC expressing a belief that the vote would end up going against him. Seems like he's right, by the way.Quote:

I don't know... Yeah, he's just trying his best to avoid revealing Ignoramus' potential defensive abilities. I do concede he seems a tiny bit too sure that Ignoramus is powerful, though.Quote:

I think he mostly wanted to give us the idea of what he was up to, to be honest. He's being honest about wanting to fine-tune the vote, instead of sneaky-saving himself in the last minute without prior warning.Quote:

I decided it would be me over Iggy, so I gambited on a lack of activity near the deadline, at least not enough to counter my ability to sway whomever was lynched, and pull a last minute maneuver to both prevent a duel and lynch Iggy.
When ATPG informed me about 2 hours later that there was still 24 hours left...well, as you see...I'll have more to say in a bit, I need to go see my friend at college. I'll have internet access there.
I'm not making any sense? You're the one who just defended YLC's maneuvers as perfectly reasonable, and then you vote him and say he needs to go immediately.Quote:

Yes I am. Now get down to explaining yourself instead of talking over it.Quote:
