Tiruin
Could you explain?

Are you comparing me with something? With someone?
What is the basis of being effective?
What did I do wrong?
What again?
This isn't really the place for a full analysis of your play in the King game, but to take two examples: 1. D1 you parked your vote on someone you knew was town, this looked really suspicious and helped get yourself needlessly lynched. 2. The way you later voted then instantly unvoted was really passive: it looked like you were deliberately trying to avoid drawing attention. You've explained why you acted like this, so I don't think these mark you out as scummy per se. But on the basis of helping town catch scum when you're playing as town, you could have done better. I believe in your abilities, I know you can excel at this.

Oh. Yay. You're town. So at least my innate hatred towards you is now sullied.
Great.
Please don't hate me.

Why are you voting TDS?

It's not like it helped people get a read on each other, huh. :/
Sure, assume the worst. It's normal...Granted, I said something about it.
Better how? >_>

...Alright, conclusion: I don't like or work well with brevity.

I'm voting TDS to await his response to my question back there.

NQT:
Toaster
See, this is bullshit.  You asked him if he took a night action [IE fished to see if he had an active ability] before he said anything at all.  You started the fishing, and you're lying to make yourself look innocent.
I freely admit that I asked him implictly whether he has a night ability. That's an acceptable level of fishing for town in my book. When he claimed the inspect, I followed up with more direct questions. Would you have dropped the issue at that point if you were me?

I probably would have asked if he had anything he wanted to tell me at that point, but I certainly would not have pressured him.

My so-called 'rolefishing' stopped Sheep from winning in the last game.
Irrelevant.
How so? The rules are the same. This is the same set up. Some light fishing is very pro-town in the set-up. You're just knee-jerk throwing around stale ideas of scum-tells.

I do not agree, but I don't think you'll be convinced otherwise.

Also, you're voting me and yet IG claimed a town inspect on me: what's your explanation for that?
Right now because you're rolefishing, lying, and trying to bullshit me.
Where did I lie? Am I trying to deceive you?

Okay, let's see:

IG has confirmed me as town.

False.

IG claimed he targeted me, naturally I wanted him to clarify.

Here, you heavily imply that IG initiated the sequence, which is also false.

So yeah, you are trying to deceive.


Tiruin:
I'm...I'm doing what you said a loooong time ago in a BM far away, wrong, aren't I? :/

You're going to have to remind me on that one.


Solmyr:
Toaster: didn't TDS' questions strike you as rolefishing?

No.  Compare it to NQT's question to TWS, which is the same grade and I ignored.  Those are basically standard RVS questions, which I have no issue with.  The difference is that they are general and theoretical, whereas NQT asked something direct, specific, and game-relevant.

Tiruin - There's no point discussing your performance in the last game, it's not going to help me find scum in this game.

You say you don't like brevity and yet you vote for Darkstar without saying anything. That seems a bit contradictory.

Toaster
Okay, let's see:

IG has confirmed me as town.

False.
OK, I should have said "IG has claimed a town inspect on me and that most likely means he's confirmed me as town". I then took steps to ascertain that he wasn't redirected or whathaveyou. I wasn't trying to dupe you.

IG claimed he targeted me, naturally I wanted him to clarify.
Here, you heavily imply that IG initiated the sequence, which is also false.
I didn't mean to imply that he'd started things off, but I can see how it would look that way. If I was genuinely trying to decieve you of anything, I'd clearly not be doing a good job about it.

The difference is that they are general and theoretical, whereas NQT asked something direct, specific, and game-relevant.
Ha! I'd say every time: a question that is direct, specific and game-relevant is more likely to help find scum than one that is general and theoretical. The latter kind of question mostly serves to get a conversation started.

Look at it a different way, unless Sheep is an idiot (he's not) he'll be able to give a competent answer to my question that will tell me something about him as a player but will probably not get me much closer to finding out his alignment. On the other hand, what I've learned from IG is enough to form part of a confirmation chain come the night. Vastly more useful. What part of this do you disagree with?

Sorry guys I'm sick. I don't have the energy to do much right now.

Toaster to avoid antilurk system and because he's afraid of having people confirmed town.

Everyone
IG Do you have reason to believe that your inspect is reliable? Also, can you put a vote on someone so we can verify your claim to be a non-voter?
No non sane roles. NQT, And I have a conscience, therefore the kill has a 50 percent chance of failure. Its not any shot, so I assume its unlimited.
IG:  Does your result explicitly say you targeted NQT?
Yes.

Not Voting: TheDarkStar, Imperial Guardsman

Day ends tomorrow at 8 pm Pacific Time.  4 votes to hammer.

TDS is in danger of having the antilurk system invoked on him.
Due to the informal nature of the game, the antilurk system will not be invoked for two days, rather than one.

TDS: if he doesn't shoot a random townsperson again it might work.
Question for you: do you see your questions as a little role-fishy?

Yep. This game kind of requires it.

TDS
Tiruin: Do you think it ever makes sense to pick a protective role for this?
Yes.
Why do you ask?

When would it be useful to pick a protective role?

Notquitethere: If scum had a daykill, who would they most likely shoot right now?
Me. I'm a loose canon. Who would you day kill?

I would daykill you. That's why I'm hammering you.

Toaster for voting for confirmed town. Toaster is now dead.

Hammer has been delivered!  Night will begin shortly!



Discussion continues at the board meeting, but the group as a whole seems to be coming to a conclusion that Toaster is the one who shot 4maskwolf.  Suddenly, TheDarkStar pulls a pistol out from under the table and shoots Toaster repeatedly.  As Toaster slumps to the ground, he runs across and begins searching the body.

"... No sign that he was the killer..."


Toaster has been lynched!  He was a Deva (town)

Night 1 has begun!  Send in your night actions by 4 pm pacific time tomorrow.  Kills are now enabled!

It's sad how my death isn't particularly surprising  ::). I seem to be really, really good at not surviving Mafia games.
