burn_heal: IronyOwl was largely responsible for the killing of scientist, in my opinion. I’m taking IronyOwl’s own advice and “paying special attention to those who lynched him [scientist]”.
This is an interesting assertion. Care to go into detail on why you feel this way?
In detail? Sure. Firstly, I’ll say that your earlier posts were very helpful and encouraging for all of us, so thankyou for your guidance. But we’re playing a game of Mafia here, aren’t we? Just because you are a good teacher, doesn’t mean you are an innocent one.
Sadly, I think you may be betraying us behind that smiling face on your avatar. I believe you were “gently” pushing us towards scientist’s lyching the whole time. Yep, I know I was sucked in alright.
So you begin with two small paragraphs of baseless "what if" and creative narrative, setting the scene for kind, helpful IronyOwl's sinister plotting and vicious betrayal. Awfully theatrical, isn't it? Especially for someone who's yet to explain why any of this would be so?
It wasn’t until your damaging posts on Page 4 that the ball really got rolling against poor old scientist.
Alright, let's get-
Check this out:
Ah yes, the noob death spiral. It's a tragic thing, really.
"I don't know what to do because nobody looks scummy" is lazy and scummy. The whole point of mafia is to find something scummy, not sit around waiting for someone to run out, waving their arms and screaming "I have a nightkill! I have a nightkill!" If you don't have any concrete suspicions, question seemingly innocuous things that might turn out anyway, including more RVS questions if necessary. You should never be sitting around with nothing to do.
"I realize this could be scummy but you've gotta believe me it's not" is also lazy and scummy. It's appealing to emotion or basically asking everyone to assume that you're town for no reason. If people suspect you, explain why their suspicions aren't especially sound or accept that they have valid reason to suspect you, then resume hunting for scum.
Trying to appear helpful, but all the time stabbing us in the back.
Uh.
Why? A single quote followed by a continuation of this narrative of yours isn't the same as an explanation for why something's true.
Why is this "trying to appear helpful while stabbing us in the back," and why didn't you realize that until now?
For instance, I could have responded to the above with something like "And here again you ply your treacherous lies, trying to rally the town against me with your fanciful stories." But, that wouldn't actually have explained
why I think you're doing any of that stuff, would it?
Rather convenient that you omit yourself
I omitted myself because I can be sure I’m not Mafia. Obviously. It’s not for me to go about stating my innocence, that’s for you to decide.
But you're basically done with the day, and presumably you'd like everyone else to be done with the day also, wouldn't you? Or were you just stating that your vote was set for these reasons, have fun figuring out your own targets everyone else?
Don’t think that simply “voting” me is going to sway everyone else into a bandwagon ride. Like you did with scientist.
If "voting" is in quotes to denote destroying your arguments and heavily incriminating you in the process, I'm inclined to disagree. If it just means literal voting that isn't
really voting for some reason, probably not, but then, it doesn't take much to dig your own grave, as
scientist (note the italics for added drama) would surely agree.
What do you have to say for yourself, IronyOwl?
That it's kind of shameful that we got lucky D2 and scum overplayed their hand D3. I didn't do anything, but I'm unimpressed with your pawns, Bookthras. Unless it's fraxert after all in which case I'm unimpressed with your
lurking pawns, and if it's Ford after all then
GOD DAMN IT.But, more likely I'm unimpressed with your pawns. Nice cajones going after the lurking IC, but too theatrical and baseless with it.
Speaking of concrete suspicions I haven’t heard any from you since you helped kill scientist.
There was also
my chewing out of Onyx and ReDead for active lurking. Unlike
my vicious assault on scientist, incidentally, those ones contained FoS's and votes actually denoting suspicion. Otherwise yes,
I've been shamefully absent.
Meanwhile, er. Do
I bold and underline
!!your!! name also or is that reserved for
me? I always forget what's villain privileges and what's main character traits.
But anyway, after
!!you!! cast the third vote for scientist, citing his earlier damning posts (and not, interestingly, anything to do with
me),
I see
!!you!! were briefly suspicious of fraxert for not doing anything before jumping on
me for supposedly engineering scientist's lynch. Do
!!you!! feel this is an adequate number of suspicions and amount of scumhunting?
