I know Powder Miner's on a trip.  He failed to specify how long he'd be gone.  Two or three days is fine, but he's been gone for nearly five.

Day Two has been mod-extended.

Day now ends on Monday, August 5 at 8:00pm CST

Okay so... GriffPup could you please respond to the accusations placed upon you?

Gun: I've already mentioned that your case seems a little flimsy. How certain are you that Pup is scum?


Wish I could post more but super busy.

Griffpup is gone today, as he announced the day before yesterday I believe.

Fairly certain. Need to reread some things.

I say wall it up.
you asked for it.


OK I'm back...  Sorry for the lack of activity and the wall of text that's coming your way, but I haven't managed to find time the last few days to respond to all the accusations against me until now.
To find that every conversation was about me or Gun, and that Chink, despite attempting be helpful, has yet to post anything of content.

Chink:
Why the lack of content?

Griffinpup:

Sorry I didn't get to these before days-end:

The second time... I dislike the fact that you seem to be stockpiling cases against people.  You are also asking for people to put in effort where you're not gaining anything, which is indicative that you are trying to make a presence in the game.  If you don't gain anything from someone's reads why are you asking for them?
Stop putting words in my mouth!  I never said that I had nothing to gain from someone's reads!  In fact, I never even asked for the reads in the first place.  I prodded at the confusing wordings of the reads, and that's it.
I may have been misinterpreting this:
1. Why do you need to know what precisely IG meant by his reads?
1. I don't.
What did you mean?
Apparently you have misinterpreted that.  You see, not needing something doesn't mean that it's not in any way useful to me at any point in the game.  I find reads useful.  I don't find them necessary.  I also don't need to know precisely what IG meant, although it might prove to be useful.
Quote
But to answer your first sentence.  Explain what you mean.  What "cases" would I be stockpiling, and why is that scummy?
What I mean is building a database with "Oh, he said so and so, he's opposed to that now, so he must be scum!"  This is anti-town as it's lazy scum hunting; hypocrisy is NOT a scum tell, so building information on what the players are saying is... pointless.
I completely disagree.  Hypocrisy is not what I'm looking for, but contradictions.  Hypocrisy is telling people not to do something, while doing it yourself and is not necessarily scummy.  Contradictions are saying and doing opposing things.  Contradicting yourself IS scummy.  It shows willingness to drastically change your play depending on the situation at hand to serve your best interests.  Scum try to manipulate, and as such they change their play to best suit their needs.  Also, scum tend to slip when pretending to scumhunt.  Since they have to fabricate cases on people, it's more likely, in my opinion, that scum also will contradict themselves on what their opinion actually is, or have fallacious logic to back up their cases.  Town, on the other hand, rarely change their style of play or do contradicting things.  They have no need to.  Their goal is to find scum.  The way you go about scumhunting as town doesn't change enough throughout the game to create contradictions.  The way scum attempt to manipulate town usually does.
The whole purpose of RVS is to find contradictions in people's play later on in the game.  Why not find contradictions in how people are playing in other parts of the game as well?

But there's one really interesting sentence in this paragraph that I want to mention.
"building information on what people say is... pointless."
If building information on what people say is pointless, what do you build information on? 
Quote
And to your second sentence, find me a REAL example of when I asked people to put forth effort when I'm not gaining anything.
...  Here for instance:
And to your second sentence, find me a REAL example of when I asked people to put forth effort when I'm not gaining anything.
Using current information to prove a statement in the past is fallacious logic.  Note this hypothetical.  If I ask someone why they know that Dave was town in day one, and they later respond by quoting his role-flip, they managed to avoid the question as well as attempt to prove their prior reasoning by events and material that came out later.  This implies that they actually didn't have valid reasoning prior to Dave's role flip.  You just did a very similar thing.  Now answer the question, this time without quoting something that happened after your statement.

But besides the invalidity of your answer, it also implied that I gain absolutely nothing from disproving parts of your case on me, which is obviously untrue.  That doesn't make sense regardless of whether I'm scum or not.  I have clear motivation to find out where your accusations come from and if they really exist.
Quote
GriffDay:
Also, why didn't you raise these concerns when you voted me?  You asked me questions, I answered them, and then you posted multiple times without anything addressed to me.  Eventually I asked you why your vote was still on me, and you pull out multiple reasons that you had never even mentioned before.
I was three and a half hours into building a case on you?  I'm so sorry that I didn't have my initial suspicions backed with every possible argument I could make. 
I forgive you.
Quote
As for why I was  posting: I was addressing other things while I worked on my case.

Further question then:
Dave:
What was the longest time period between all my posts?
Why did you ask this question to counter what I assume are Dave's accusations here:
He was just lurking and hadnt posted anything applicable until he got vote, which made him go pseudo aggressive, and start to get, what I perceived as, extremely frustrated. Which to me seemed very scum like, and I felt the vote was well earned.
I asked this question because I was accused of lurking.  Clearly Dave looked at the times of my posts to realize that fact, and I was wondering if I really did lurk. (failed attempt at witty sarcasm)

In all actuality, his logic for voting me was bogus.  I knew that I wasn't lurking, and forcing Dave to answer that question would of made him say it himself.  If that was really his reason for voting me, he'd be able to defend it.  If he couldn't defend it, it would mean that he had other reasoning for voting me.  Tying the vote, for example.

Gun:
Dave wasn't scum. You knew he wasn't scum, he got lynched anyways. I don't like it. Vote griffinpup.
I'd be very interested in knowing how YOU know that I knew that Dave was scum.  I might just be forgetful, but I don't ever remember saying so.
Gun:
More bandwagon.
Actually, the term bandwagon in mafia refers to voting someone that already has multiple votes, so it's not really applicable in this instance.  Using this definition, giving you advice obviously isn't bandwagoning.  If you want to use a wider definition of bandwagoning, such as "voting someone that already has multiple votes, OR giving advice to someone who already has had advice given to him" you'll have to give a valid explanation on why the latter part of the definition is also scummy.  Good luck.

But even your accusation of giving you advice after other people give you advice is partially flawed.  The only recent advice given to you by an IC was given by Nerjin in the post before me.  I actually wrote the majority of my post BEFORE Nerjin posted his.
Quote
Instead of hiding behind the IC just to dodge my accusation.. Instead of telling me how to do my job.. How about you explain to me why you're not scum?
You've messed up the burden of proof.  This game is innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.  Though a game the other way around would be very entertaining.  Picture wall after wall of texts being posted explaining why their prior wall of text makes them townie.  :o
Quote
When I ask you questions, I expect you to answer them.
Wow.  Hypocrisy for the win.

Not having time to answer your questions isn't scummy, so stop pretending that it is.
Also, could you quote these questions?  I've skimmed the thread and I didn't see these supposed questions.
Quote
Ooohhh...  That's a very hard question.  I prefer to be fairly detailed in my posts where applicable.  I am also in multiple conversations/arguments at the same time.  I would focus on one of the discussions I was in, while not mentioning the other until I had more time.  I would also state that I was a bit out of time and would respond to the other discussion later.
You're explicitly stating that you're dodging questions right here.
Explicitly actually means to say it.  In the paragraph quoted, I never once stated that I'm dodging questions, explicitly or implicitly.  I stated that I prefer to respond fully to one person as opposed to partial responses to multiple people.
Quote
Why? What have you got to hide? What takes you so long to explain if you're so clean and shiny and innocent?
Umm...  I think that you don't grasp that this was a answer to an RVS question.  I'm not sure how, as you'd have to edit out the actual question to quote the part you did, but you managed it.  The question was a purely hypothetical scenario in which I had to get off of the computer soon for some unknown reason.  Powder Miner wanted to know what I'd include in this undefined and limited time frame.  I told him.  From the perspective of this being a hypothetical scenario, I don't really understand how your questions make sense.
Quote
Instead of pursuing an easy lynch like scum,
Scum actually have surprisingly little motivation to pursue an "easy lynch."  It's much safer and it looks more townie to "change opinions" and attack someone else.  There obviously still is motivation to pursue an "easy lynch", of course, but not very much.
Quote
why weren't you pushing a new conclusion during D1?
Because I thought Dave was scum and wanted him to be lynched.  It's counterproductive to push for an alternate conclusion when the person you think is scum is being lynched.  This is kind of a 'duh' moment.  What answer were you expecting to get?
Quote
HAHAHAHAHA!
HAHAHAHAHA!
I literally laughed when I read this.
DAVE:
YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS.
This was your last meaningful post before day end.
I'm going to assume you meant last meaningful post towards Dave before day end.
Quote
Your next ones were nearly 24 hours later, and only to accuse a player who had just dropped in of lurking. Everything is wrong about this. You had been playing for nearly 72 hours, pressing points, keeping up the pressure the entire time, and yet you had nothing to say, not even so much as a "You STILL haven't answered my questions!" about Dave's situation?! Nerjin, NQT, even Deathsword.. Everyone else was pressing their points, showing him the flaws in his playstyle. Meanwhile, you were sitting back, watching the axe fall. Why?
I think you forgot IG.  But regardless, the situation didn't change whatsoever.  My earlier case and accusations and questions were still applicable.  He still hadn't answered my case in any way, shape, or form.  I had already tried prodding him multiple times, and that didn't work.  I saw no reason to prod again at day end when not only would he might not have time to answer my prod, but when his answer probably wouldn't be satisfactory if he even acknowledged the prod at all.    Would you of preferred that I quote my case again at day end?  Or perhaps I should of rephrased it and posted the rephrased version instead.

Pretty much, Do you find my case(s) against Dave unsatisfactory?
Its bandwagon because he was hopping on the "let's give the new guy advice" train,
Which is an inaccurate use of the word bandwagon.  Also, "hopping onto that train" isn't inherently scummy either.
Quote
and using it to dodge my accusation.
A flat out lie.  I STATED that I didn't have time to fully respond to you.
Quote
This is BM, and when I get advice I expect to be getting it from other ICs, not fellow players.
This is purely for information's' sake.  Do you disagree with the actual advice, or are you just throwing a hissy fit because it came from me?
Quote
And yes, part of his job is most certainly answering questions posed by other players.
But that isn't what you asked me to do.  You asked me to explain why I'm not scum.  And again, I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO RESPOND TO YOU. 
Also, the fact that you still haven't answered my question in this post makes this statement hilarious.
Quote
I understand that not everyone is going to have time all day to answer all the questions posed to them, but being gone for almost a full 24 hours without advance warning? That doesn't happen in Mafia.
That happens all the time.  You're not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to what usually does and doesn't happen in mafia.
Quote
Not to mention he gave us a warning just recently. I hold that he is lurking scum
Lurking is NOT being gone for almost 24 hours.  If I didn't post for almost 24 hours, it means that I posted once a day.  This is ACCEPTABLE in the game of mafia.  I gave you a warning when I was planning on being gone for 36 hours, not 24.  Noted, it did take longer then that, but that was my original estimate.
Quote
((I'm honestly having a  really hard time finding these questions despite more than a few sweeps.. Can you please quote them for me so I can answer them? :S))
Oh, so you just missed these five posts that contained them in your few sweeps.
Wait...  One of these posts are yours.  You quoted a question at the same time not answering it and now you claim that in your 'multiple' sweeps, you still couldn't find them?

Well, that wraps up your accusations.  Now I have a few questions for you.
And there's plenty of action watching Nerjin and Dave (one-sidedly) slug it out.
Excuse number one for not posting.
I'm making a case right now. I was taking the time to read through the thread and see what sort of effort everyone was putting in, and their stances.
Excuse number two for not posting.
To be honest, I wasn't aware that I was IN until after the second to last time update before the end of D1, and once I had realised this I was panicking while trying to catch up on the thread. I got through most of D1, but I haven't read the middle to end parts, which is why I haven't voted yet. Probably should've done that sooner to prevent looking like a lurker, but I didn't want to make any decisions without having all the facts first.
Excuse number three for not posting, this time for not posting a vote.

Gun:  Why all the completely different reasons for not participating in the game?  First you're sitting back 'watching the action'.  Then you're suddenly building a case and taking your time reading through the thread.  Finally, you were panicking while trying to catch up on the thread all while running out of time.

You also completely 'missed' this post of mine and the questions in it.
I'd really like to know what case you were making before day one.  Your most recent posts, (the ones after your voting post) were mostly in response to my actions taken AFTER the end of day one.  What was your case beforehand?

Chink:
When I was using the word emulate, I meant that my play was a shining example of town play.  I was obviously kidding, but that's what I meant.

I was catching up on the thread because I was nearly out of time, which set me into a panic, but at the same time I realised I needed to be careful. How could you not describe a game of mafia as action? I was riveted the whole time, trying to absorb every detail, but the thought that Day 1 was ending kept entering my mind and pulling me away.

Allow me to answer your question with another question: Are you saying that I'm accusing you because I don't like you? If so, its not me who's being emotional.

Quote
I'd be very interested in knowing how YOU know that I knew that Dave was scum.  I might just be forgetful, but I don't ever remember saying so.
I remember you being quite confident that Dave was just bad Town, and yet no unvote, or even a shred of an attempt to build a case on someone else. Everyone was convinced that Dave was bad Town, and were all ready to get rid of him because of that, but the important part here is that in the meantime they also made attempts to try getting information out of other players. You didn't.

Quote

I was using the term bandwagon to highlight that you were sidestepping my accusation by giving me advice, as Nerjin had just done. I suppose I could understand how you would be mistaken due to the context, or rather the setting.

Even if you could prove that, why wouldn't you post something regarding my accusation rather than advising me on proper play? It makes sense for the IC to be giving me advice, but not for you to.

Quote
Which is an inaccurate use of the word bandwagon.  Also, "hopping onto that train" isn't inherently scummy either.
You probably don't know what the word bandwagon means outside of Mafia. The scummy part wasn't that you thought you were an IC for a minute, the scummy part is that you ignored my accusation altogether. As if you just pretended it wasn't there. Like you didn't want it to be there.

Quote
Wow.  Hypocrisy for the win.

Not having time to answer your questions isn't scummy, so stop pretending that it is.
Also, could you quote these questions?  I've skimmed the thread and I didn't see these supposed questions.
I've answered all your questions. The questions that I asked followed that sentence.

Speaking of hypocrites, you went on to accuse me of avoiding questions and making up excuses for not seeing them later in your post, which is exactly what you're doing right now. Ironically, you answered all the questions you said you missed. So.. good job I guess? You don't need to dodge questions you've already answered. Heh. :P

Quote
Wait...  One of these posts are yours.  You quoted a question at the same time not answering it and now you claim that in your 'multiple' sweeps, you still couldn't find them?
Are you blind? In that same post, if you actually read it, you'll see I provided an overall perspective of all the players (which was asked of me) as well as explained why I didn't vote (which was the other question asked of me). Both questions and my answers, which you somehow quoted without looking at, are below.

Pre Night Lock
Sorry for a bad quotes. I wrote this up after the lock at the end of D1.

Well no one's asked me any questions as a matter of fact. And there's plenty of action watching Nerjin and Dave (one-sidedly) slug it out.
There was this:
Quote from: NQT
GUN, welcome to the game. I suggest taking a moment to read through the game (better now before it gets too unwieldy) and making a few notes on the play of each of the players. What's your fresh perspective on everyone?

Also, were you going to vote?
To be honest, I wasn't aware that I was IN until after the second to last time update before the end of D1, and once I had realised this I was panicking while trying to catch up on the thread. I got through most of D1, but I haven't read the middle to end parts, which is why I haven't voted yet. Probably should've done that sooner to prevent looking like a lurker, but I didn't want to make any decisions without having all the facts first.

You're clearly grasping at straws here Pup. This whole "you're not answering my questions" thing is getting a little old, especially when people are actually answering said questions. >.>

Quote
Do you find my case(s) against Dave unsatisfactory?
Not at all! On the contrary it was quite good, almost perfect. It was so perfect that everyone voted for Dave, thus removing any chance of you getting lynched, and as scum, you were happy with that.

Quote
But regardless, the situation didn't change whatsoever.  My earlier case and accusations and questions were still applicable.  He still hadn't answered my case in any way, shape, or form.  I had already tried prodding him multiple times, and that didn't work.  I saw no reason to prod again at day end when not only would he might not have time to answer my prod, but when his answer probably wouldn't be satisfactory if he even acknowledged the prod at all.
I like how you were trying to make it sound like you were busy during those 24 hours that you didn't post, but in reality, you were aware of what was going on at that time, but instead chose not to post. Is that not correct?

Quote
Scum actually have surprisingly little motivation to pursue an "easy lynch."  It's much safer and it looks more townie to "change opinions" and attack someone else.
Sounds to me like you know how to scum pretty well.

In the first case you made it appear as if you were sitting back, watching the fun.  In the third, your explanation was that you were PANICKING.  Why did you present those in completely separate and contradicting ways?
How could you not describe a game of mafia as action?
Do you really need an answer to this?  But to answer, you could describe the game of mafia as a game instead of the embodiment of action.  Duh.

Gun uses deflection!  It's not very effective...
Answer the actual question.  Do you disagree with the advice or not?
Allow me to answer your question with another question: Are you saying that I'm accusing you because I don't like you? If so, its not me who's being emotional.
Gun, you're the definition of being driven by emotions over reason.  Of course you're accusing me because you don't like me.  You are attacking the person who prodded you out of lurking.  You have yet to initiate a conversation with ANYONE besides me. (tunneling) In fact, the only things from you addressed to someone else are in response to a direct question or to defend your case.  Your case is made of cardboard and tinfoil, and with such terrible reasoning for why I'm scum you're obviously motivated by something other then logic.  The fact that you keep dropping your fallacious points without another comment and endlessly moving on to more of them also agrees with that.

Your argument also doesn't make sense. "You're accusing me of being emotionally driven, so it's obviously you who is" isn't a very good argument, nor does it make sense.

Liar.  Go read the thread again.  In almost every one of my posts I dealt with issues other then Dave as well.

Two things.  First, because your accusation was...  without any proof whatsoever.  Prodding you to make a better case seemed like a good idea.  That way there'd be more then blind accusations to respond to when I got back.
And Two: Because your play was sucky.  We don't really need someone playing mafia on this forum that won't bother to quote proof of their actions or answer questions.  Nerjin covered most of what I said, which made it kinda redundant, but as I said, I wrote that post before he posted.  That's what the PPE: at the end denotes.

Which is an inaccurate use of the word bandwagon.  Also, "hopping onto that train" isn't inherently scummy either.
You probably don't know what the word bandwagon means outside of Mafia.
You realize that we're playing mafia, right?  When someone throws around words like "doctor", "tunneling", and "bandwagon", they have very specific meanings.  You didn't follow the very specific meaning bandwagon has in this game, and as such it wasn't applicable.

Wow.  Hypocrisy for the win.

Not having time to answer your questions isn't scummy, so stop pretending that it is.
Also, could you quote these questions?  I've skimmed the thread and I didn't see these supposed questions.
I've answered all your questions. The questions that I asked followed that sentence.
Wait, you subtly accused me of not answering the questions that were in the same post as your accusation?  I must be misunderstanding this.  You're not THAT stupid.
I've answered all your questions.
Funnily enough, you still haven't answered all my questions.
Speaking of hypocrites, you went on to accuse me of avoiding questions and making up excuses for not seeing them later in your post, which is exactly what you're doing right now. Ironically, you answered all the questions you said you missed. So.. good job I guess? You don't need to dodge questions you've already answered. Heh. :P
Again, your point is lost on me.  You have avoided questions.  I never avoided answering questions.  Answering questions isn't scummy.
Are you blind? In that same post, if you actually read it, you'll see I provided an overall perspective of all the players (which was asked of me) as well as explained why I didn't vote (which was the other question asked of me). Both questions and my answers, which you somehow quoted without looking at, are below.
Wow, no need to be snappy.  You never connected your list of reads to the question asked.  When you were prodded again to answer the same question, you never said "I've already answered this question."  You said that you already posted your list of reads.  There was no way to know that you considered your list of reads your answer to that question.  Chink didn't know either, yet you never bit his head off.  Why?

Do you find my case(s) against Dave unsatisfactory?
Not at all! On the contrary it was quite good, almost perfect. It was so perfect that everyone voted for Dave, thus removing any chance of you getting lynched, and as scum, you were happy with that.
As town, I was happy with lynching who I believed to be scum and a poorly playing player.  But making good cases on players that turn out to be town isn't scummy.

But regardless, the situation didn't change whatsoever.  My earlier case and accusations and questions were still applicable.  He still hadn't answered my case in any way, shape, or form.  I had already tried prodding him multiple times, and that didn't work.  I saw no reason to prod again at day end when not only would he might not have time to answer my prod, but when his answer probably wouldn't be satisfactory if he even acknowledged the prod at all.
I like how you were trying to make it sound like you were busy during those 24 hours that you didn't post, but in reality, you were aware of what was going on at that time, but instead chose not to post. Is that not correct?
Your accusation is...  What exactly?  And what about my answer is unsatisfactory? 
Is that not correct?
I actually wasn't paying much attention to the game in that time-period.  I was also waiting on promised answers to my questions from Dave.
He dodged several questions after the game began, is only reacting to me voting him, and is only condemning himself.
He screwed up and tried to build a case against me.
Ididnt dodge any questions. You simply cant find evidence.
HAHAHAHAHA!
HAHAHAHAHA!
I literally laughed when I read this.
DAVE:
YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS.
What questions? I will re-skim the topic for them, happy? jeez.
They never appeared.  I was done with prodding him at that point.  If someone doesn't answer your questions repeatedly (*cough cough*) and then promises answers that never appear, you kinda stop trying or caring.

Gun:  You seem to think that I believe you to be scum.  Stop being delusional.  I haven't voted you, nor have a really raised a case on you yet. 

IG:
That's the second scummiest vote in this game so far.  That was a HUGE bandwagon.  Do you have a real case on me?

((Agh! Out. Out, out, out. I'm going to start having far less time each day to be fooling about on the computer, and between running four game threads and learning how to play this in a manner that could be described as passingly well.. I'm gonna have to go with my games. Can't wait to see how this turns out in the meantime though. Good luck everyone! :D))

griffinpup: Sorry about the lack of context on that question. I just asked it because that phrasing has been bugging me ever since you posted that response, and I had nothing else to ask at the moment. I'll try to actually get some reads up when I get back from vacation.
