btw, being vig killed makes me less likely to be guilty, not more.
How? The mafia can still be killed by a vig, so you still have the same probability of being killed as a townie. So you are not less likely to be guilty.
Plus the vig sounded very... determined to save the town, hardly an example of a pure evil serial killer.

BTW sasaki encouraging lynching of first person to do 3 line vote is a good way to scare people off voting

I decided to give him a chance to defend himself, and changed vote. If changing my vote would put TevashSzat in the lead, I wouldn't have done so. A tie however can be simply overturned by another vote.

Ask yourselves this:
Imagine if Seireikhaan is the investigator, and decided to check Shlin28. Lo and behold, it came back scum. Then, he mentioned it in the thread, in a subtle way, and voted Shlin. He wanted to survive as the detective so he didn't reveal.
Then, later, Tevash, under pressure, under threat of death, REVEALS he is the investigator, and clears Shlin28, his mafia buddy.
How convenient.
Will you do me the honor of trusting me, for JUST ONE ROUND.
Talk to me. Ask me to restate simply my case against anyone here.
It won't be that easy, to put more weight on such (Imagine), compared to someone claiming to be the detective. It might be easier to prove TS' innocence, by lynching you and see if TS gets targeted by next night (at which town has nothing to prevent it, I believe).

And if mafia deliberately does not target TS, then they are taking a very big risk.
edit: Also, in case TS is lying. The real detective (in case he's still alive) can still reveal himself later.
Am moving closer to place my vote against you again, Atpg.
Simply put, I wasn't very convinced that TS would be a better lynch that round, and was ready to change my vote back the instant Atpg wasn't the top/tied for lynch candidate

Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
In this I agree with Shlin, Kojiro-san. Your death -- if we presume a Vig of sorts -- neither clears you of suspicion nor signals your guilt. I have tentatively assigned you townie status thus far because I have seen you doing what seems to be a fairly normal job for you of hammering suspects. You're correct about 'khaan's PM to me. The fact that I knew it was a fishing expedition prompted my response. Even if I weren't a townie, I suspect I'd have responded about the same regardless of what role I had. I did report all the PM stuff for everyone's review, and 'khaan can confirm I haven't altered anything.
Right now, I have concerns with Taka -- for a virtual lack of activity which, as I and others note, is not pro-town in its effect.
I also have concerns with Beefy. He is always around, always in tune with the discussion, and has posted more in this one thread than I think he has in both Capos combined. This is Beefy with 83 posts -- only about 12% behind Sasaki. Folks, this has NOT been his track record. I know he's been more active in mafia this last 6 months, but that's 2.76 ppp!
Of the two, I have been more adamant about lurkers for several posts, so for now I'll

You are also pretty much the only person who continues to refer to the blatant framing attempts in the nightly write-ups. The rest of us have dismissed them for the WIFOM that they are, but you keep mentioning them:

After re-reading many of your posts, I've noticed that you have a distinct tendency of not committing yourself on any attack against anyone. The only place I've seen you take any kind of firm stand was against ATPG, but that was just self-defense after he attacked you. You've remained almost entirely non-committal the entire game, yet very active. You post as if you're just having fun watching the chaos that is going on. You also make numerous statements about how you are a townie, even when they are unprompted and completely unnecessary.
Let's finish off this post with another appropriate quote from you:
Quote:

Summary:
Non-committal with any argument, except when personally accused.
Cites the mafia kill write-ups as evidence multiple times after they have been dismissed by everyone else.
Refers to own role as "townie" multiple times without prompting.
Was convinced that both grunts were dead after N5, then claims that he thought that because of something in the N6 write-up.

Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
The above case by Tincow is certainly something to think about. It is certainly odd how he is making such a big deal of 'but I'm townie, honestly' when under very little pressure. Taka would also seem to be a decent choice, lurking, and given the last game I know that he was in (Chicago Soiree) it is possible that he is trying a similar tactic (am aware of potential WIFOM issues. Quintus still seems a little off to me as well.
Will reserve vote until this afternoon. Be back later.

To be fair, I died reasonably early on both capo. And speed of discussion on Capo was way too fast for me.. Also I had high school when Capo took place.
As my high school finished, the only hobby I have besides studying is the Org, few other sites mainly sports news and ORG. This explains the sudden boost of my post. Also, I was asked to post more to avoid ATPG double posting.
I cannot and will not vote for taka just yet as a part of our mutual trust treaty. Him being a lurker is soo suspecious but I have taka guilt sensor and when he is guilty I should notice it..
As Tevash was 80 percent scum, why don't we look for the peoples who he called to be innocent? Or do you guys think, he would avoid investigating peoples in his crew?

Boo. im here :yes:
first thing i'll admit is that im no good at keeping up with the big games, seems smaller games fit me better - theres kinda too much to read in a big game which i havent read through (as i mentioned to beefy)
looking back at some of the more recent posts, i think that Tincow has made quite a few reasonable points about shlin. even though he is our CoP, i find him highly suspicious that i dont think he's actually contributed to helping town much at all considering his position.
for now i'll hear to reenk's plea and
vote: Seamus
but next round, unless something drastic happens, im gonna vote shlin.

Tevash's attempted reveal as detective probably means he's got a role, I am inclined to think of him as a mafia because he failed back up with a PM and if he was town then he had no reason to lie to the rest of town. Despite self-preservation lying to the town about being a detective is one step too far for a simple townie.
Could Shlin be the godfather? I know Shlin has most definitely been investigated in this game, but godfather shows up as innocent and I’m starting to suspect Shlin…

I agree that Tevash was likely mafia. For a while, I thought his lack of response was simply due to inactivity or RL issues. However, I just checked and he was online yesterday. If Tevash was the real detective, he almost certainly would have posted in here berating us for being idiots. His silence after that detective reveal and lynching seems to be a pretty strong suggestion of his guilt.
shlin has some interesting behavior when Tevash suddenly became vulnerable. He had a total ofthreeposts between ATPG's 'Skynet' mega-post and when the heat got seriously turned up on Tevash. All of them were either jovial/joking in nature or completely lacking in serious analysis, which is consistent with shlin's previous play style. However, once Tevash's lynch starts looking more likely, he suddenly drops the silliness and gets serious with actual arguments, which is inconsistent with his general lackadaisical participation in the game. First, he proposes sparing Tevash for a round. Shortly after this, Tevash claims he is the detective. shlin's response to this is to spare Tevash and look to see if he gets killed by mafia as proof of his innocence. Note that instead of asking for more evidence from Tevash, he focuses the 'proof' of Tevash's claim exclusively on the mafia killing or not killing him in the future. This is then followed up with seriousposts with decent reasoning. He then makes nojokes at all while waiting to find out Tevash's fate. After ATPG's lynch, shlin then put adecentamountofeffortintoexplainingwhy ATPG was a better lynch than Tevash, even though the issue was already decided.
After the following night phase, despite Tevash not getting killed by the mafia (which shlin had previously theorized would be proof of his guilt), shlin discourages a lynching of Tevash. He then provides excuses about why Tevash hasn't replied yet, followed by postswhichdefendTevash.
So, up until this point, shlin has gone out of his way to defend Tevash. He stopped posting in a silly/joking manner and put forth effort on actual debate and analysis. He spends a very long period of time specifically giving Tevash every opportunity he can think of, and even when he acknowledges that Tevash might have some scumminess about him, he encourages that he not be lynched and that the town wait for the mafia's actions to prove whether Tevash is guilty or not. And then, when the votes start piling up on Tevash...
shlin makes a complete 180 degree turn and goes for Tevash's throat. Voting is then closed with Tevash in the lead, and shlin chooses that moment, before the lynch write-up is even complete, to claim that both the grunts are dead and that only the Godfather is left.
Where does he go after this? Why, back to his non-analystical and joking posting style, of course. He then reminds us again that both grunts are dead and claims this is due to a write-up which occurred AFTER he stated this the first time.
