Hah! I totally had Diabolous/Nuke9.13 pegged from the start. Anywho, here's some analysis of interactions between Diabolus/Nuke and other players, focusing on lynch votes and those who reacted to them.
Day 1 - Diabolus/Nuke (Di/Nu) Analysis:I placed a second vote on Criptfeind, and bluffed that I was bandwagoning on purpose. Di/Nu responded with blatant incredulity, along with Ottofar. Toaster tried to mediate, playing my vote down.
Di/Nu freaks out about a tie vote, and votes Web right after that, claiming that Web wants to end the day in a no-lynch. People explain and argue. Di/Nu "realizes" what Web is doing, and facepalms, calling self an idiot. Jim calls Di/Nu out on the freak-out.
I switch vote to Di/Nu. Janus pokes me with a bit of passive suspicion about "voting lurkers", and leaves it be. Jim partially tries to deflect my attention to Toaster. Mr.Person calls me on "going after noobs", for some reason refering to me as Vector. Corrected by Jim.
Nuke replaces in for Diabolus. I switch vote for clarity. Di/Nu rolls easily with it in response. Jokerman-Exe calls me on "playing differently than last time" by voting Di/Nu, and claims he will observe me more, without voting.
Jim then defends Di/Nu against the lynch votes, saying "only scum go after lurkers". Ethereal.Frog appologizes for repeatedly jumping on other bandwagons, and then jumps on me. Janus explains how it's reasonable for me to vote for Di/Nu, and defends my vote from Ethereal.Frog.
Awlright!
This is what is going down:
After going through the thread, I have questionmarks next to the following people:
Toaster: Has this guy never played mafia before, or does he have a history of being an idiot? Otherwise, he is acting real off.
At some point he mentioned a 'joke tell'. I am not sure to what he was referring, but it doesn't matter: I hope to god that it was a real tell, because deliberately acting like scum (whilst you are town) is not, has not been, and never will be helpful to the town, and, in fact, detracts from the town's strength, as people are lead off on wild goose chases. So, you are either scum, or town screwing it up for the rest of us. >:|
Org: I know it was a RVS thing, but why care about aliens? At this point in the game, dopps are a far greater threat than any hypothetical aliens, of which only the exterminator and his operative are a major threat to the town. ??
Solifuge: My lack of recent activity means I have no frame of reference against which to judge his puzzling behaviour. From what I have seen, though, it is simply a RVS ploy. ?
Ottofar: Man, what? This guy, so crazy. Practically every post of his has been crazy defensive or scummy. ?
Criptfiend: Complaining that your role is too complex? Firstly, if you can't handle every role on the roster, why are you playing; secondly, what the hell? You're claiming a complex role? That suggests that you aren't worried that you will be killed off for your high-value role, which in turn suggests you are scum yourself. Also, he seemed eager to protect Ottofar, who seems pretty suspicious himself.
Ethereal.Frog: Unvote Jim Groovestar because I'm a scared lazy noob.
HA HA HA THATS OK THEN, YOU ARE ONLY A NOOB, HA HA.
Is this guy actually an expert mafia player who is being ironic? If not, you cannot get away with this. You cannot deflect any attention that comes your way by means of a joke. This one post is as good as meph himself saying 'this guy is scum'. >:| >:|
Ethereal.Frog
He pointed out Toaster, Org, Ottofar, Criptfiend, myself, and voted Ethereal.Frog. One of them were bound to be him busing a scumbuddy. I suspect Ethereal.Frog, given that he got the vote.
Continuing on, Di/Nu softly chides Ethereal.Frog's playstyle, and advises him on how to improve his game. Mr.Person flips his shit at Criptfiend as he removes his vote from Di/Nu, and Mr.Person unvotes him after 1 post.
Diabolus/Nuke fade from the game at this point, and doesn't post for a while. Janus makes a belated post after this, that includes an explanation of Nuke "lurking to victory" in the past, and a defense of my suspicions, though I'd dropped them by that point. He also gets mad at Ethereal.Frog for voting me on the basis of the Di/Nu vote.
Di/Nu reemerges to disuade Mr.Person from leaping on me for my vote against Di/Nu/my strategy. Mr.Person takes the advice, and drops the case on me. Di/Nu waits some time... and as the popular vote shifts to Forsaken1111, he joins the wagon, defending me against Forsaken1111's vote.
Seems surprised and contentious with Web, and his "who's gunna be gunned down" thing. He does some passive suspicion-casting on Web. Mr.Person then drops the vote against me (I had since removed my vote on Di/Nu), and dogpiles Forsaken for his vote on -me-... complete 180 there. After that, no more words, he dies in the night, and flips Dopp.
So, I say
Mr.Person, with a side of
Ethereal.Frog.
