Scarlett gets suspicious about this, and invites for Al...but then revotes for him again. But it's pretty clearly meant to remove her vote from Al because she's suspicious of GoldKnight's post. Unless she's just rehammering the same vote again again. But that's weird.

Conclusion: Scarlett is slightly confused about how voting is marked in the thread. I tried explaining yesterday, so today I tried just showing what an invite looked like. Unless this is the same system she normally uses in mafia? Then. Um. Dunno. Weird mafia ploy?

Kay. I'm gonna put her into solid town then for now.

You should see the way Visor wrote the unvote in the rules Raith.

Quote:

---

• You will vote for players you want lynched during the day, using the format, Vote: Visorslash. Votes must be in bold to count. If you wish to unvote, simply: Unvote; Vote: ATPG. You don't need to do a semicolon, I just think it looks nice. The vote tag is not essential but please make it very clear who you are voting for, I would suggest only bolding names for votes, never for emphasis.

---

I don't believe this at all. You've jumped pretty quick with people's reasoning as the basis for your votes besides Cas.

Vote: Al

I checked. Maybe I'm wrong? Visor? Help?

It should say ‘whom’, not ‘who’.

I don't think anyone will find this persuasive but me. But here's my thought process:

If Scarlett was mistaken about how voting works, and I'm starting to think I was totally wrong, it'd be weird for her to make a gaffe that provoked confusion with players. That sounds like an individual thing, not a mafia thing. If I saw a teammate making the mistake, I'd correct it in the mafia thread lest it provoke more attention later.

But as I'm thinking I was wrong about the formatting, this may all be nonsense.

I'm just making it easier for him. You don't have to put the vote part though.

How am I under the radar? I feel like I have a transponder stuck on "scum". As Cuth says below, I'm a permanent lynchbait.

I think we played in 3 games together. I was town in all, and you were scum in 2 out of three. Because of that I'm actually have to fight the scum bias against you.

Right. I voted for edse, who voted me, as you eloquently noted in #84.

I just don't really see much mental transition between these and it kinda feels like he doesn't care much if any of them die.

Vote:Al Sipsclar

---

This seems rather silly to me. For what purpose would a mafioso move their vote around so much on day 1 for? It's too scatterbrained to be anything scheming. You might be correct that he doesn't care too much if they die or not, but that doesn't necessarily translate to him being mafia.

Vote: Scarlett Aria

While I find the case made by Cuthilius flimsy, I don't necessarily fault him for that in the sense of being guilty. What I *do* find suspicious is others latching onto it without any explanation of why they might agree with it. My eye is on GoldenKnight too, but Scarlett's setting off my bells slightly harder.

Mostly for this. I don't even agree that Al was "under the radar". Under the radar is what I did. If he's flopping around with his vote, he's almost exactly the opposite; it's noisy and draws attention to himself. That doesn't strike me as mafia behavior, and it raises a brow from me that you would hop onto a case with such odd... reasoning.

My leans at the moment:

Town:
Winston Hughes - less sure today, hope to see more activity during the week
Raith Kemmler - good content
Scarlett Aria - seems clueless enough to be town

Slight town:
Cuthillius - attempts at scumhunting
El Barto - good level of activity
landlubber - I like his activity level D1, though the first vote on Beskar worries me
edse - the way he reacted yesterday gives me some hope

Neutral/Unknown:
Severing viper - duplicate posts. Understandable since he's new to the forum, though might also show nervousness.
GeneralHankerchief - why Beskar had to die for you to live?
Autolycus - filthy lurker
Johnhughthom - hides behind Winston
seireikhaan - hides behind GH
Zain - seems overexcited, but understandable after a long hiatus
Cass_ - actually upgraded from slight scum. I understand that maybe it's the personal style, but I believe delaying the vote is anti-town.

Slight scum:
Jarema
Golden1Knight
Nightbringer
- low activity, don't like the votes.

Vote: Nightbringer I can also support lynching Jarema or Golden1Knight.

I do not know what you do not like in my votes, Al

I don't like who and how you voted, Jarema. I'd like you to post more. What do you think of the game so far? Who do you think is town?
Below is everything you posted in the game so far.

Alette. To unvote you just type

Quote:

Unvote

If you retype your old vote then it counts as basically unvoting and revoting.

Hope that helps.

Lol you're right. You just get mislynched by other townies, not generally the scum team.

I like this, you can be town for now. Unvote

Lol. First you OMGUS, but actually not, so you just sort of pointless vote me for tagging you in a post, and then you unvote with just as much reason. Fish of Suspicion.

Oh and if it helps just call me Cuth.

I agree with this. I've been dealing with maybe some cultural clashing with Al and Cuthilious, but I wouldn't say Al was under the radar. He's been proc'ing people aggressively.

What's Cuthiliious posting look like then and now? Any differences?

Maybe. Too whatever for the mafia isn't a premise I'd chase very far game to game.

Me neither. The law of averages says they're probably not all mafia, but they're the same player. Well Golden, must be hard to stealth in all that shiney armor, is playing a glaringly insubstantial echo chamber game. Jarema posts are minimal, and Nightbringer is Jarema's grumpier brother.

Lynching all of them in a row? Fool's errand. But with no content, ignoring them is kind of bad too. Any ideas?

You did not answer me. I know why you dont like my level of activity, but why you dont like whom I voted?

I'm not seeing scumminess in Jarema's behavior. It's been noted in the past that townie Jarema is noticeably less verbose than scum Jarema. He tends to involve himself more when he's non-town. I do think that pressuring the inactives is a good strategy at this stage in the game, though.

A lot of Al Sips's other potential scum pings are pretty null. GH and Khaan always play off of each other, as do Winston and JHT, and Autolycus is never all that active compared to most players.

That being said, vote:Nightbringer is the best choice that I see. There are many players we need to see more from, and he's one of the most flagrant and most unreadable lurkers.

Which I really regret.
As a scum, I feel that I owe it to my emies to give them something to analize, for the sake of fairness of the game. And, as a townie, I dont feel such obligation. Sometimes, I try to make cases, but it is hard with no informations from without the thread

Al Sipsclar does seem to be the scummiest, but there's plenty of votes there. Let's go with the arbitrary counterwagon on Jarrema.

What an opportune moment to crawl out of the woodwork! vote:autolycus

I was attacked last night. Poisoned. If I know Visor correctly I'll be dead in about two days.

For the moment I agree with Khaan on Vote: Scarlett.
