Warning: WoT
NJW:
Ok.
TolyK then:
So I'm getting voted on because of circular logic and thinking out loud? Better than my last mafia game, at least
Yeah, as I've said, I'm not trying to KILL discussion of it, but for reasons earlier stated, it's a lovely situation for scum as well if there isn't some other discussion of other stuff and none of them are involved. Like this, which is good. I was just worried that a mistaken gambit might suck the whole town into something not giving much info.
Makes sense. Remember that some votes are there to keep on the pressure, and some are "I want to lynch you" votes. Some are in-between.
Unfortunately, as I understand,
roo claimed to be the cop as well (though very ambiguously - see later in post). What is your stance on this, and how does it change the ATH situation?
Answering for Hector: If the mafia don't kill him, for "being" the rolecop, this means he is mafia, so we have to kill him. It doesn't fully work, if he is neither. I think.
Please don't answer for others. Usually when questions are asked of someone, the wording of the response is more important than the information, and your answering for him practically allows him to "agree" with you, which is generally an agreeable stance... >.>
Hector:
Well, I should say that lynching ATH isn't the only option we have if he isn't killed N1, but anyway: I would lynch ATH D2 because either:
a) he's fakeclaiming cop, and I don't see why a townie would do that.
or b) he's telling the truth, but we won't know for sure until after his flip, which requires death. If the scum don't NK him N1, they may very well do it N2 anyway, because the odds of him investigating scum increase from 2 in 7 on N1 to 1 in 2 on N2, assuming we don't lynch scum (in which case the odds drop to 1 in 4, assuming his N1 investigation is alive/1 in 5 if not) and the person investigated on N1 is still alive (otherwise it would be 2 in 5 if we missed scum/1 in 5 if not)
We wouldn't have to lynch him, necessarily, if he said who he investigated N1, in case the scum do NK him N2. That way we can focus our attention on actually finding scum rather than lynching our Cop. However, surviving to D3 would necessitate a lynch I think, because I don't think the scum would leave the cop alive for 2 nights straight. (pending flips from the D1 + 2 lynch, and the N1 + 2 NKs, obviously. Cop may flip long before then.)
PPE: NJW, and Tolyk really, there might not actually be a cop in this setup, which is another issue for us to consider. At this point I think he was fakeclaiming, but this being a BM, I'm not sure if it was a n00b town move, and I'd rather not risk losing the cop D1 if he is telling the truth. It's not a pleasant situation to be in
Think I'll stick an FoS on NJW for the moment though. You're not asking many questions, which I find bothersome.
@Hector Your play is throwing me off a bit; you ask questions but don't bother to follow up from what I can tell. Can you link your previous games? I'm wondering if you do this as scum.
As for who I'm looking to pressure next idk maybe njw for the shameless bandwagon disliked his "lol your reason" thing.
@TDS you asked why I don't believe his (ahts') claim? That is extremely unfortunate I was hoping I wouldn't have to claim.
(emphasis mine)
So: You're counter-claiming cop? If you are, say it directly, otherwise this just provokes more confusion. If you're just saying that to "gambit"... not the best idea, IMO. This is day 1, and if you've been quietly keeping to yourself that you're the cop - totally fine. However, hinting that without any concrete information doesn't seem to help everyone figure out what is going on.
the IC [(tolyk) I think he is the ic has the same characteristic mafia god complex] votes njw.
Not actually an IC, though the talk is similar. I'm definitely a mafia god, as I've said many times... (hint: I've only said the opposite). But that's just fluff.
Ahhh that makes less sense. You voted me then started hassling me interesting approach. That makes more sense as scum no need to continue to on my case again and again after the vote as the voting indicates that you have one found scum two implies a case and three can move on to other people or sttempt to convince others of my guilt. You were looking for takers to hop on weren't you? Lol. What bad play.
hector shameless omgus.
... What. This post makes no sense - I don't get the logic at all. He starts questioning you with a pressure vote, and that vote stayed. Apparently he's starting a bandwagon on you... and that's OMGUS? It feels like you're trying to rattle on accusations that look like you actually have a read on someone. Otherwise, explain your logic.
TolyK:
What do you think about Roo's implied cop claim? Does this affect your view of ATH's cop claim?
TBH I don't know what to think - he seems fairly aggressive and vaguely claiming cop a while after ATH did just seems out of character. Will wait on his reply to my question before going into this fully, though.
I just managed to finish reading all that you guys wrote since I last wrote. It's like trudging through a lake of molasses. By the time I get to the other side, I forget half of what I tried to remember in the first. Since things are looking pretty muddy, I think I'll post a lot less often (I also have to update my forum game more frequently as it seems my players are getting faster at replying ).
... Posting less often is what you *shouldn't* do, unless you've had 20+ posts already... it helps to make "wall of text" posts like this to have coherent thoughts. Just copy-paste the quotes into one editor.
