Probably last post for me until Sunday.

Yuggy, while I do appreciate the vote, I do not like that you basically took everything I said and made it look like it was your own idea.

Thomas, post your case. Give me two reasons to trust you on your read otherwise.

Jazz, do you have any real, actual thoughts?

I must also say that I am annoyed at the people who thought Sniper's posts had anything to do with his alignment.

Yaya, what would be enough for you to vote someone on page 6 then?

The problem with the internet is that you can read expression on peoples faces... so if we were all in a room downing beer you'd be able to see if I'm telling the truth.

And about sniper, he seemed incredibly willing to get rid of me, saying  'I just don't like his attitude, so even if his is town I feel like lynching him.' which isn't the point of mafia... you don't lynch the most annoying you lynch the most suspicious. But this is your first game, right?

Another thing: submissive people. Don't just say 'oh im voting for him/her/it because of what so and so said', and even if you do agree with what they say, add some more reason. (hypocrite detected! name: ****)

Well I was originally waiting to see what he does next but if me Silver and Yuggy vote Jazz then he will be lynched. Your enthusiasm for us to vote Jazz might suggest your mafia trying to lynch town but at this moment in time I highly doubt that.

I have made a decision and I am going to be a man and take for action!

Vote: Jazz

I also do have a huge dislike to that post Jazz made. I'd rather lynch you Jazz then have Livio -100 karma you.


We don't have enough information, and yet you still want to get the day over with. Information is key.

I'm not sure about Shavey Dave. Your reasoning might be right Isa... or maybe he just doesn't like being yelled at. I get no read from that behavior.
OF COURSE he doesn't. learn from mistakes isa - in the last game he voted because he was told to by thomas and a tad pressuredby soccerboy; not because he thought I was scum. I doubt he is scum right now.

You know, making multiple cracks about other player's methods doesn't look very good. It seems like you're trying to make us think Shos is doing something wrong- which I don't necessarily disagree with. You and Shos aren't exactly townie-of-the-month material...

Harumbai simply hasn't been online. There's no point in voting him at this point since he doesn't even know the game has started.
now he is online, harumbai, let's hear ya out.

I agree. I saw this too, and was about to run down the page and vote without even reading to page 7.

I understand Isa, clearly, since I suspect that too; but why have I been a candidate?

'Silver' said:
Otherwise it makes you look like a mafia.
Explain how.

Because hiding your thoughts is sneaky. Townies arn't sneaky. Therefor, hiding your thoughts is not townie behavior.

Now I know that's not totally true, especially my second premise, but it's good enough.
I agree to that, but, I do support thomas for not telling soccerboy what he did wrong. I'm sure someone will find it out soon enough too; if you read the posts carefully you can notice it easily - I didn't even reread the post..

soccerboy, if we're already discussing you, can you change your siggy? cuz 'VOTE PLEASE' twists my mind again and again.
'Yuggy' said:
Shavey, I FoS Jazz, you copy what I did, and say you have the same reasons for it. You then FoS me for exactly what you copied? This just shows that you are very manipulative and needing someone to copy, possibly as you are trying to just "fit in". Basically you copy me exactly and say "Oh I agree with Yuggy completely," then when Thomas say's why didn't you vote, you instantly change it and FoS me for doing exactly what you had just copied. You seem very desperate to please everyone and to fit in with the crowd, so much so it's scummy.
Vote: Shavey

@Soccerboy, you are acting slightly scummy but I'll just keep my eye on you for now, you do realise that Jazz could perfectly well know what a jester is, but say that so like you, people think he isn't one.
FoS: Soccerboy

I don't see how that makes shavey mafia; it makes him a weak player, but it does not imply on alignment.
about soccerboy - he hasn't been acting scummy. he just made a scumslip.
'Isa' said:

agree with both, now that I saw that sniper's said he'd narrate from before the role PMs. sniper, you're back to being null to me.

I have read through this topic (now that I know it is here, sorry guys ) and it seems that most things from earlier on have been resolved so I will only comment on what I have some opinions on.

Snipe's Narrative

Regardless of what the narrative says or whether it is separated from the rest of the post with bold text it is still only narrative and not a lot can be drawn from it especially as it is clear that it is made up and not role related. Shos said he thought Snipe was town because he mentioned a desk in the narrative, what kind of argument is that? Maybe if I mention desks then it will be clear which side I am on...

Soccer on Pg 6

The posts leading to Thomas' Obvscum comment were all surface reactions without much thought put into them which is why I think Thomas mentioned obvscum as scum tries not to think to hard incase they incriminate themselves. The biggest flaw in Soccer's posts is:

'soccerboy13542' said:
'Jazz' said:
... And... can you tell me whats a Jester in a mafia game?


for this reason, i don't think he is a jester...


Because we all know that you can bluff not knowing a role so that it appears that you are not that role. If he wants people to think that jazz is not a jester he is possibly suggesting people should vote for Jazz and this makes Soccer safe for at least today if he is scum.

All I can say about Thomas in all of this is that knowing how irritating he is in other games he seems to be playing his own style again which is a cryptic close hand, but I feel he is still a useful and lethal player due to his insightfulness. Soccer on the other hand has made some slips whilst stating the almost too obvious.

The whole Jazz thing (Including post just before mine)

Jazz has been acting very peculiarly from the start with posts claiming he's viacom which isn't a good start for deciding where to place him in the game. Then the "it doesn't matter if you lynch me" (excuse the general paraphrase) argument seems dodgy, possibly particularly to me as I thought of trying to use it once when I was scum. If you can convince people that you aren't really eager to stay alive and that if you are lynched then it should be a small loss for the town because you have a mediocre role then you try to ride along as a pseudo-vanilla townie and seem generally helpful when people ask things, but stay pretty secluded.

There are several other things, but moving on to the lastest in a series of scummy Jazz posts. I will try and annotate a quote of it without getting lost.

'Jazz' said:
The problem with the internet is that you can read expression on peoples faces... so if we were all in a room downing beer you'd be able to see if I'm telling the truth. Well obviously facial expressions help, but telling us this to make us think you are telling the truth is not much of an argument

And about sniper, he seemed incredibly willing to get rid of me, saying  'I just don't like his attitude, so even if his is town I feel like lynching him.' which isn't the point of mafia... you don't lynch the most annoying you lynch the most suspicious. But this is your first game, right? If you think that someone who starts with the statement "I am a part of Viacom." is the paragon of innocence then think again. Also I would agree that your attitude is hard to read and confusing, what is the point in even suggesting that you are mafia? Mafia could double bluff with that, but why would a townie even need to bluff at all?


Another thing: submissive people. Don't just say 'oh im voting for him/her/it because of what so and so said', and even if you do agree with what they say, add some more reason. (hypocrite detected! name: ****)Name? Jazz! You just did exactly that (well not exactly because I guess your argument sounded fine to you, but I can't find anything substantial.

We don't have enough information, and yet you still want to get the day over with. Information is key. All information collected on day 1 is subjective and changes constantly so depending on how you flip whenever it happens I wouldn't have minded an early day if the result was good.

FoS: Shavey Dave and snipereborn

Do keep in mind that I'm just trying to put pressure on you by making a nonsensical argument that contradicts itself so I can get more info. Weak reasoning and weak accusation FoS' don't really get us places. Especially if you were planning on putting pressure on which you just diffused, by explicitly saying that's what you were doing. Also again you have made a joke which hits the nail on the head and your joking lack of confidence in your own posts is not inspiring. Its as if you knew you weren't going to win people over anyway, you can't be defeatist when playing mafia.

... maybe this game might help me in verbal reasoning... Hopefully


So with that I will Vote: Soccer and Jazz

I hope my reasoning is clear and feel free to question me about it and any spelling mistakes that were present in the morning because right now I would like to go to bed now that it is 2 in the morning.


Ninja'd by SHOS so @SHOS' second post (no way I am reading the monster above it) I'd add that I don't think it is a scum slip more that he's being cautious not to enforce his truthfulness on us which some people like me find worse.

Also if I find out after reading Shos' post that this all obsolete now then I will not be a happy camper

Yes but if he was town he wouldn't need to or have to try to fit in. He just never does anything himself, aside copying people possibly because he is scared and wants to be part of the crowd rather than singled out, which is safer for a mafia member as he cannot be accused for bad reasoning as he just agrees with stuff other people say first, rather than making his own accusations. Also I do not nessecarilly think he is 100% mafia, he has just been acting scummy.

Actually, a policy lynch is possible. I think that even if you are town, you hurt us more than help. So, barring a more likely scum target, my end vote day 1 is on you.

for this reason, i don't think he is a jester...


about snipe

snipe puts bold around narrative and discussion...
i don't think someone would normally try to show the difference between the two unless it was important to distinguish between them.


I consider separating them important so as not to confuse people. It makes it organized and clearly shows what's what, so no one would ever think that the narrative directly affects the game. If at some point the story portion of my interpretation becomes annoying, say so. (This last goes to everyone).

Also, that jester reason is just silly.

I only think there's a chance of you being the staff mafia, Shos because you're one of the more active staff members in this game, and in the past games, the Godfather or whatever usually stays active to seem more innocent. But it's not like I'll vote on you solely because of that.

It was the FoS that made me suspicious mostly, not the bandwagoning as he has done that before. I will keep an eye on him but for now I think it was just a missunderstanding and he has been proven to bandwagon even when he's town.

I didn't say anything about roleclaiming in that post. You really want me dead, right?  I did not explicitly say 'roleclaiming' when I said 'information is key'. Information=/=roleclaiming. Information can se presenter in many forms (whats se presenter in english?) Whether its play style (which is unreliable), arguments (also unreliable) .

And yes, the jester reason is silly but to be honest why the hell would I look around in a mafia wiki at 4 pm when I have homework to do?

'Isa' said:
The "third/fourth/fifth/sixth/Nth vote is scum" is essentially meaningless, at least with experienced players who know how to create cases.

When Jazz had two votes Silver posted and expressed a mild irritation at his posts. But she didn't vote. But Isa and Yaya give two more votes, and suddenly Silver seems willing to vote for him. Granted, it was only a FoS because she was afraid to lynch him this early, but it is still curious to see. As I said, it only turned out to be a FoS instead of a vote, so I don't actually suspect Silver yet. Perhaps a very slight scum read, but nothing serious.

I don't think it's very scummy of Silver. My posts could have pushed her over the edge and she decided to FoS me. I think she didn't vote because frankly, it was only a day since the game has started when my vote count went L-1. And I know that one of the people who attempted to lynch me is a mafioso because they generally hop on the same train as autres to not be suspicious. You know, like at the riots in June, it started with a bunch of trouble makers who planned out the whole thing. Then others joined it. It's kinda like that.

@harumbai: thomas has a reason for why i'm "obvscum".

also, when i was town last game, i was able to use two votes...
harumbai probably has a similar role, shos.

if he did not want to be lynched as jester, i think he would say: no i am not jester.
honestly, i think the more probable reason for asking would just be that he didn't know what it is.
since i don't know what over half the roles are.

Actually my bad, I can't vote two people so how will I choose?

Maybe I'll just flipflop between the two so for now I'll go with Vote: Soccer but really it doesn't make any difference as neither of you are likely to get lynched anytime soon. I should try and be more awake when I post so I don't do stupid things like that again.

@soccer; Thomas didn't say why you were obvscum if he did have a reason.

Wait, sniper has a point. If I die and flip mafia, that will help the group. If I die and flip town, that will narrow down the suspects. The only downside is that you lose a player. Works for you, with the added bonus of the satisfaction of lynching me, and sucks for me who goes to the graveyard. Yeah, I see how you like that.

Shave. Following the others paths is not good. Even if they completely convince you you still need to keep an open mind and wonder if those who have convinced you are wrong. There's always a chance that they could be wrong.

Anyways, right now I'm going with Jell sprout because I don't see him much now... maybe he's spying on this conversation planning something?
