Dorf, perhaps your lack of aggression stems from the fact that you're actually behind the recent killings?  What were you doing last night, and who would you want as your partners in crime?

I know of the "Secret Voter", who can secretly pm his real vote to webadict while appearing to vote for someone else, if he so wishes.

Vote Count

Pandarsenic - ToonyMan [1]
Apostolic Nihilist - Leafsnail, JanusTwoface [3]
Leafsnail - Apostolic Nihilist, Mr.Person [2]
JanusTwoface - Vector, eduren [2]

Apostolic Nihilist has been lynched!

Apostolic Nihilist was a Secret Exchange Voter (town)!


It is now Night.

Quote
Secret Exchange Voter - The person your vote lies on at the end of the Day exchanges their role with yours the following Day. You don't know what your role does.

What the hell, Leafsnail? How do you explain this?
Yeah, Mr.Person.  Vote me for saying the role in my own pm and not magically knowing someone elses.
http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=46598.msg947350#msg947350
These are the known roles.  Now, if you were paying attention, you'd realise that the Secret Voter and Exchange Voters are two entirely different things.  Also:
I still want an answer to this question.
When you [Pandarsenic] voted Dorf, you untied the vote.
Wait a second... I knew something about this quote bothered me.  What makes you think this?

I'm not one for mafia theory, but don't we No Lynch at this point?

I don't think so.  There was 10 people total so that means there is 2 scum still.  It would be awfully cruel of Web if he put 3 scum instead.

Back on point.  JanusTwoFace, who are your top suspects right now?

Mine are from most to least suspicious,

Eduren for ignoring my question AGAINNNN.  I said earlier that you tell other people for suspicions, but you don't make your own.  Then you keep ignoring me.  :-/  Uncool.
Pandarsenic for being confused and active lurking.
Janus for acting scummy with scum logic.
Leafsnail for questioning everyone, has an explanation but not what i like
Mr.Person for lack-luster attacks, I do it all the time though.

Oh, Eduren, who are your suspicions right now as well.

Unofficial vote count
Apostolic Nihilist - eduren
eduren - JanusTwoface
Pandarsenic - ExKirby
Zai - ToonyMan, dorf
dorf - Leafsnail, Mr.Person
Leafsnail - Pandarsenic

Before. Note that Dorf and Zai both have 2 votes.

Also, unvote Leafy, vote dorf.

Dorf, commit. Either he's scum or he isn't. Make up your mind.

The vote. This puts Dorf at 3 votes and leaves Zai at 2. Thus, the vote is untied. Of course, things turned out to be different in the vote counts, so whatever.

Hmmm. Alright then. I just thought that with 2scum, 4town that this is mylo. And that NLing now will bring us to 2s, 3t tomorrow, increasing our chances of hitting scum.

Who is it that is ignoring who?

I assume that the "question" you are referring to is this:
@Eduren:
Make a scum list too!  Don't tell others to without doing one yourself man.
While technically this is not a question, but just telling me what to do, I followed your advice in my next post:
Scumlist(in order):
Janus- He seems inconsistent. If I could get a better read on him, he'd probably go down the list.
Mr. Person- Question+sideline. doesn't sit right with me.[Edit]:New post, Ill rethink
Toonyman- Hasn't had much content, apparently will get better.
Leafsnail- A strategy disagreement is grounds for scummitude? If there was something else to it then maybe.
Which you seem to have ignored. You then say this:
@Eduren:

Answer my question.  You ignored me.
And I respond with this:
@Toony  I don't see a question...
Now, can you please tell me where in all that did I ignore you?



Alright then. Pandarsenic is scum.

Once Pandar claimed Backup voter, I decided to see how he reacted to Zai's gambit. A scum BV would have been against it.

Unvote Zai. This is such huge WIFOM.
As soon as Zai gives his plan, Pandar backs off for reasons of "WIFOM". Despite the fact that somebody spewing WIFOM is acting scummy. And then he contradicts himself in the next post:
My guess is either he's:
1) Scum with that role not willing to risk giving his teammates away who has decided to make a spectacle of things so big it'll distract severely from anyone who isn't him
2) Scum without that role trying to draw out the player who has it, since (like he said) claiming that role severely weakens it.
You backed off of him for "WIFOMing", even though you are certain that he is scum? According to this post, the only thing he can be is scum!

You were then trying desperately to steer conversation away from Zai, here and here.

You backed off of somebody you were certain is scum because you did not want them to die just yet. You tried to direct conversation away from Zai in order to ensure that you did not get his role. You are scum.

If you were a Town Backup Voter (as you have claimed to be at the time) then how do you explain your actions?

I am a town backup voter and that plan was stupid. Why transfer the backupvotership to another townie? That would do nothing but prevent me from getting the role of lynched scum (assuming he was not scum, which I was unsure of) while getting a townie killed. It was equivalent to lynching the backup voter and therefore stupid.

I'm not saying that the plan was very smart. Just that you seemed almost scared of it while at the same time calling him scum.

I said I was no longer sure if he was scum. If he was scum, I'd have voted him. As it was, he had just thrown out a miasma of WIFOM so thick I couldn't tell what to make of him.

Ice induced ditch visitation tends put a damper on internet activity.

Guys, I was just vanilla'd and I'm telling you because this is too absurd not to explain.

Day 1, I was backup voter. Web told me I replaced the Shielded Voter. As a town player, I rather like being able to vote so I pointed out to Web that the Shielded Voter wouldn't be backup-replaceable. He agreed, I returned to being backup. Next day, I got Lynch Delayer, got flipped to the Lovestruck Voter, and then got Vanilla'd.

This is also important because there is no more Lovestruck Voter.

Could you please explain the part that I bolded?  From what I can see, you are claiming to be the Backup Voter -> Lynch Delayer, but the Lovestruck Voter part is a bit unusual.

Although I do agree with you that there is essentially no more Lovestruck Voter.  Unless I misread something horribly, Mr.Person is the Lovestruck Voter with Apostolic Nihilist as the buddy.  (Day 1, Mr.Person's vote moved to no vote.  Day 2 his vote moved to Leafsnail.)  Anyways, now that Apostolic Nihilist has been lynched, Mr.Person's vote is free.

I'm not one for mafia theory, but don't we No Lynch at this point?

If we cannot find someone scummy enough to lynch, a no lynch would give us one extra day of discussion and allow us to read into the person that the mafia chooses to kill.

I'm pretty sure we can find *someone* scummy enough to lynch and we still get more information.

Back on point.  JanusTwoFace, who are your top suspects right now?

eduren
- no lynch looks like trying to buy favor with the town
- early points still hold
- 4 of the 5 non-you people are on your scum list, this seems a little excessive

Mr.Person
- voting as if he still had a vote feels a little odd

ToonyMan
- lack of Toony Tunnel in early game
- being too quiet for my tastes

Pandarsenic
- hard to get a read on him
- less angry than previous games
- confusing post here

Leafsnail
- possible scum
- argument with AN (now known innocent)

Eduren seems most suspicious, followed by Pandarsenic and then Leafsnail.  You and Mr.Person seem more likely to be town at this time, although I've been known to be wrong.

There's probably more than that, but I'm really tired.  I'll see if I can post more tomorrow.

Fair warning: I'm really busy right now.  I'm in the final year of Japanese and Spanish, have a midterm in operations research due monday, and am a bit behind on my thesis.  I've scaled down to a single mafia game, we'll see if that's enough.

But Pandarsenic, you seemed pretty damn sure at this point that he was scum.

Worth noting: He pointed out that "claiming that role makes it useless."

My guess is either he's:
1) Scum with that role not willing to risk giving his teammates away who has decided to make a spectacle of things so big it'll distract severely from anyone who isn't him
2) Scum without that role trying to draw out the player who has it, since (like he said) claiming that role severely weakens it.

Unvote.  But Pandarsenic, the first non shielded person to die was Zai.  That means you should have become a Neighbourly Voter.  So why weren't you Neighbourly day 2?  And how the hell did you get those two confused?
