    I believe that Al is aligned to town, keeping in mind solely his vote, after all he helped to lynch a mafioso (which is not definitive evidence, of course). I still need to investigate his posts to make a deeper analysis.

    About Cuth, well, he died. Also, I imagine what killed El Barto and why he avoided any suspicion so far.

    Wow 3 deaths... I can't help but suspect that SeveringViper may be scum. Al isn't clear off my radar either, but I do smell Lurker-scum.

    Vote:SeveringViper

    18. Johnhughthom
    19. Severing viper

    Day End Vote Histories:

    Day 3
    5 GH (Edse, Jarema, Al Sips, JHT, Cuth)
    1 Edse (Auto)
    1 Zain (Landlubber)
    1 JHT (GH)
    1 Al Sips (Zain)
    2 Sev (Winston, Al Sips)
    1 Auto (El Barto)

    Day 2
    2 Al Sips (Scarlett, Golden)
    1 Edse (Jarema)
    2 Scarlett (Khaan, edse)
    1 Night (Zain)
    1 Jarrema (Auto)
    1 Golden (RK)
    3 JHT (GH, EB, land)
    4 Khaan (WH, Al Sips, JHT, Cass)

    If we say that mafia did not vote themselves in the days since day 1 (when it is so random as to be a safe bet and an insurance policy, at least in this meta), then we can come up with this list. I'm hazarding the guess on mafia not voting eachother since there has been plenty of votes being thrown onto a variety of targets which helps leave space to sneak not following the pack on a fellow scum.
    Green is voted for or voted against by known scum. Teal is voted for GH, which it appears skum would think was voting for their own.

    Alive: 12/20
    1. Jarema
    3. Golden1Knight
    6. Zain
    8. edse
    10. Raith Kemmler

    15. Nightbringer
    16. Autolycus
    17. Cass
    18. Johnhughthom
    19. Severing viper

    Additionally, looking through the history on Al and EB, they have just been at loggerheads too much for me to think they would practically speaking be mafia buddies.

    Also, looking at posts #284 - 292 EB seems to have been making attempts at throwing JHT and auto under the bus to save khaan, and also throwing some doubts at GK as well, making them all seem safer to me.


    So, GK, Zain, Raith, Myself, and Viper

    Quote Originally Posted by Golden1Knight View Post

    Also, I think El Barto, Scarlett (khaan voted for her) and everyone who voted for Khaan are town. Plus, Edse voted along with Khaan, but this is not a definitive evidence. Yet it is something to watch out.
    Golden has some posts that feel a bit reactionary and worried, but I think this finger point straight at EB when there wasn't even a real movement against him is pretty salvaging.


    There is some interesting information from a while back that is either an indication that both zain and winston are mafia buddies and really playing a gambit, or is useful regarding zain.

    Zain feels genuinely a bit befuddled and overwhelmed, as I am. Based on these, I feel reasonably safe about him.

    As to Raith, it just doesn't feel like mafia to me the way he and EB went on at the start.

    In this place, mafia do roll the dice for their kills in the beginning, but then people roll dice for their D1 vote and N1 actions.

    I know I'm innocent, but can't really prove it.

    So we're left with viper, who has been very inactive.

    Let's see what barto has had to say about him.

    I'll repeat myself then. Why and why? (well, with 20/20 hindsight I can definitely assure you that GH is not town)
    Too blatant of an attempt to sway things towards myself over viper, or trying to make sure his inactive buddy isn't the inactive being targeted? After all, having a new player who may get nervous while being mafia be staged as an inactive isn't a bad strategy.

    Also, his one substantial post here (I'm sick of nested quotes...) really reads like he knows exactly what has been happening in thread (even if some of the meanings of things are unclear to him). Knowing what's going on without really commenting is often a tell of a fake inactive to me.

    So, for the time being.
    vote: severingviper

    Disagree. With Elly flipped as mafia, the joint effort GH and him put into switching the lynch candidate when GoldenKnight rocketed into contention makes him look terrible. In fact, it's so blatant I'm worried I'm tunneling on this issue and missing some other misdirection. But the simplest explanation would be saving GK, who really hasn't given us anything substantial all game.

    Why Golden Knight needs to die Part 2: Expanded Edition

    I made a lengthy post on Day 2 pushing for GK to die. What follows looks ever so dirty. GK pushes past the meandering 1 and 2 vote wagons into the lead. And the dislike is palpable.

    Quote Originally Posted by El Barto View Post

    Barto plays dumb and asks a bizarre interpretive question. Probably to try to taint the whole case.

    Quote Originally Posted by El Barto View Post

    Not even a real defense here, more a defense by association. Golden Knight isn't evil because...not all actives are. Duh.

    Golden1Knight is lynched. He was town.
    Golden goes all maudlin in the thread.

    Elly begs the obvious question whenever you lynch like, anyone. Also gets a bit frustrated the wagon is taking off.

    This post is all kinds weird even in this mafia hive of commentary.

    Quote Originally Posted by El Barto View Post

    Elly subtexts to alleviate pressure about obvious vote turn around.

    In conclusion: Golden Knight needs to die.

    Excellent arguments. In your place I'd also vote for me.

    It's funny to see how all the evidence points to me, really looks like a solved case. However, I'm sorry to disappoint, but this game does not end with my death. I don't know why GH and El Barto decided to protect me, I'm not aligned with the mafia. But now to business.

    Nightbringer worked hard to clarify the overall situation and, since the Mafia benefits from chaos and confusion, I believe that he is townie.

    Raith seems a bit clean too, since he would not need all this work to get a mislynch. Yet I'm still not sure about it, as a last mafia he would feel greater need to establish himself as townie, especially after Nightbringer's post.

    Zain and Severingviper: they deserve a little more attention. Then, I'll vote: severingviper. I still think we should not waste this lynch with me anyway, but it just makes me look even guiltier. Oh well :P

    Are you GH's third party buddy then? And he convinced Elly to go along with it? I will change my vote if you can give me another explanation for that weird ass vote moment. It can't just be a frame job on you, that's a lot of risk with little reward. So either they were protecting you, or getting something else. Or they just like to run around changing wagons because they really didn't feel good?/sarcasm

    Uh, okay. Who said anything about the game ending with your lynch? How on earth did you come to the conclusion we've reached endgame at all with a revealed third party probably infiltrating the mafia in a closed set up?

    Is there an ironclad mafia ratio on the org? Or does this thought look like a bizarre assumption to anyone else?

    There isn't an ironclad ratio, but 4 mafia in a game this size does feel about right. 5 would be 25% of the player base.

Or would you say you like someone flailing over just not bothering to talk about what they don't know? (I'll also note that as of this post, our post numbers are equal, for what it's worth. ^^)

    As for Zain, he starts off with his first serious (or semi-serious) post by voting Night for inactivity. (Is that why you called him confused? ) Then he says he won't be around that much, which would serve as his reason for the low number of posts:

    Then he votes Al based on "instinct"...or perhaps, being one of the three highest posters that isn't his scumbuddy and voteable by the logic he just used.

    So he "can't help but suspect me", going back to lurkers being scummy in the process, while leaving himself open to go after Al again later. Also, Al is still on his radar due to the previously mentioned "instinct", I take it?

    In summary, he takes clear positions...that he switches between, and mainly pushes people for inactivity (besides for one unexplained suspicion/vote on Al) despite claiming that he feels scum would easily hide in activity, which he at the same time appears to use to justify suspecting Al. I would say he seems more likely to be somewhat inactive and confused scum, trying to get a mislynch or two with some decent doublethink.

    Vote: Zain
    If he flips scum, perhaps Nightbringer is next...

    In summary, he takes clear positions...that he switches between, and mainly pushes people for inactivity (besides for one unexplained suspicion/vote on Al) despite claiming that he feels scum would easily hide in activity, which he at the same time appears to use to justify suspecting Al. I would say he seems more likely to be somewhat inactive and confused scum, trying to get a mislynch or two with some decent doublethink.

    Vote: Zain
    If he flips scum, perhaps Nightbringer is next...
    So I'm not going to claim my logic is flawless, but you just devoted an entire body of a post to defending yourself and then used that to throw a vote at zain, with me listed a convienient fallback if you are wrong. That is exactly what I mean, you seem exactly informed enough to defend yourself competently WHEN NEEDED, but not informed enough to be throwing your opinions out there otherwise. Now, I'm no genius, but that is more of a tell than I am picking up elsewhere.

    ...But that's not what it is? Look it it again, and tell me how much is my defending myself and how much is my building a case against Zain, with my noting that Zain flipping scum (so I'd be right) might not look good for you? Or do you disagree with what I said about your seeming quiet defense of Zain?

    And how much did I need to defend myself? I'm not exactly the only one being voted today, and there's no reason that I couldn't just jump onto the GoldenKnight lynch. Instead, I made a case for a vote wagon of my own. Drawing attention by pushing my own case outside of the way town is going is only acting to defend myself? I'm not throwing out my opinions by doing that?


    On another note, I missed this curiosity before:

    I highlighted the correct answer. I'm just a townie, not even third party, if I claimed such a thing maybe I would be able to fool you for some time and try avoid death, but to claim to be third party is like asking to be eliminated by both town and mafia. In Pirate Ship III we had an excellent example of fake role, which went unnoticed until the end of the game, but this is a case apart and required some skill and experience.

    Uh, okay. Who said anything about the game ending with your lynch? How on earth did you come to the conclusion we've reached endgame at all with a revealed third party probably infiltrating the mafia in a closed set up?

    Is there an ironclad mafia ratio on the org? Or does this thought look like a bizarre assumption to anyone else?
    In the last two games (and the only ones in which I participated), there were only three mafia.

    Raith's case on GK is decent enough, but I'm sticking with vote: SeveringViper for now. I just can't see a town mind at work in his posts, whereas GK is giving at least a passable impression.

    It's funny to see how all the evidence points to me, really looks like a solved case. However, I'm sorry to disappoint, but this game does not end with my death. I don't know why GH and El Barto decided to protect me, I'm not aligned with the mafia. But now to business.

    Nightbringer worked hard to clarify the overall situation and, since the Mafia benefits from chaos and confusion, I believe that he is townie.

    Raith seems a bit clean too, since he would not need all this work to get a mislynch. Yet I'm still not sure about it, as a last mafia he would feel greater need to establish himself as townie, especially after Nightbringer's post.

    Zain and Severingviper: they deserve a little more attention. Then, I'll vote: severingviper. I still think we should not waste this lynch with me anyway, but it just makes me look even guiltier. Oh well :P
    The tone in this message sounds very scummy to me, so it's my gut feeling to Vote: Golden1Knight.

    Damn you Winston, I had a perfect tally coming up.
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    3 SeveringViper: Zain, Nightbringer, Golden1Knight
    3 Zain: Jarema, SeveringViper, Al Sipsclar
    3 Golden1Knight: Raith Kemmler, johnhughthom, edse

    3 No Vote: Winston Hughes, autolycus, Cass

    Current tally
    4 SeveringViper: Zain, Nightbringer, Golden1Knight, Winston Hughes
    3 Zain: Jarema, SeveringViper, Al Sipsclar
    3 Golden1Knight: Raith Kemmler, johnhughthom, edse

    2 No Vote: autolycus, Cass

    You seem disinclined to make declarative statements. Almost everything's phrased as questions, but very little of what you're saying is genuinely interrogative.

    I see this as scummy in two complementary ways: firstly, it's a form of softening, like you're shying away from saying anything that you might be pulled up on; secondly, it's like you're trying to do an impression of scumhunting, rather than actually doing it.

    More than that, though, I'm trusting my gut on your general tone, and the flow of your contributions over the course of the game so far.

    ...What? I made a case against someone and declared my intent to lynch with a vote. The most I have in there are rhetorical questions, because that's the nature of the piece, an accusation, not an interrogation. And you realize you're making a subjective argument anyway, based on your standards of what is or isn't interrogative? At least define them. Quote what lukewarm questions you have in mind and explain.

    There are actually ways you can challenge me over that post, can you detect them? :3 I was the first to make a real case against Zain, against the flow of votes, that's not scumhunting? It's shying away from taking a position?

    Ok, so you admit (or claim) you're relying on gut feelings. Whatever you wish.

    I find it funny that now, of all times, after 3 deaths and now some heat has fallen on SV, now he has chosen to get real active and start playing the game. I mean, there's always some desire to defend yourself but you've gone 0 to 60 lately my friend. Real suspicious, lurker-scum, imho.

    Again, this talk of my defending myself. I will repeat, the "heat" on me was lukewarm at best, and that certainly wasn't my motivation. But feel free to keep pushing it. Are you trying to distract from my actually making a push against you?

    That your questions are rhetorical is exactly why I find them scummy, SV.

    Also, I have to wonder why you're sticking by your vote on Zain after I revealed that he stayed home again last night. I mean, he's not lock clear, but I'm pretty dubious that you really think your case on him is better than the one Raith has on GK, even after my revelation.

    But the point I was making was that they weren't supposed to be interrogative, they were part of a case I was making.

    And the fact that he didn't go anywhere isn't conclusive. Have you considered that he might be the one scum who didn't submit an action?
    Yet I don't think my case is that much better. And in fact, I'd rather avoid my mislynch most of all.
    Vote: Golden1Knight Now the votes are tied. @autolycus; @cass; Would you like to tip the balance?

    Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention: I think I've been poisoned.

    (I wasn't told so explicitly, but I have been informed that I have symptoms which sound like the result of poisoning).

    Seems elaborate.

    Viper, you might want to also publish a leans list at this point. Half of your posts coming out today when a case was pushed against you makes you look dirty.
