Meta or not, you have some explaining to do.

You have been detrimental to Town's cause; the use of your ability yesterDay was unwarranted and served only to impair Town.

Also, no one else has used an ability for fear of being targeted by Mafia...yet here you are, using an ability. With such a powerful ability, I would have been too afraid to use it out in the open for fear of painting such a large target on my head...yet you opted to use it, and on the first Day no less, with seemingly utmost confidence. Why?

To top it off, your little fumble a couple posts back has seriously put myself at odds as to what your alignment is. I am fairly certain you are not Town at this point.

This is only to put on the pressure for now, but I want a response. Soon.

Vote: Chibo

pressure votes dont work if you flat out say they are for pressure -_-
You're pretty much just saying that you don't find me scummy enough to vote for legit, but I feel like voting you anyway

What fumble do you mean?

My posting restriction is obvious. Town having a posting restriction means the townie is gonna have a power, it's obvious. If not, then that there is some ******* modding. I would be a target at any time.

I used my ability to help out the town, did you not read why I did it? Go back through Day 1 and read all of Omni's posts (unfortunately you can't just search for his posts atm). He was being overly controlling imo and seemingly jumping on the opportunity from the amount of inexperienced players in the game. He was trying to call all the starts on the bandwagon, telling people directly where to put their votes, etc. I want the people inexperienced in the game to learn what to do themselves, and not blindly follow Omni like that, and my power seemed to match the cause.

If you're saying using my power like that hurt town, then you are 100% certain that Omni is town. If he's scum, then my power wouldn't have been a waste would it? Is this how you feel Barfull?

also it's more important to understand that he means you using your power hurts town because you pretty much revealed a pretty strong ability without any real major effect at all. why would you reveal your ability to block votes as an OMGUS vote immediately after i voted you? there's no benefit at all and the excuse you're making up isn't cutting it

he doesnt mean it hurts town because he believes im of a certain faction

Anyway...

Perhaps he doesn't, at least for now?

Think of it this way: Maybe the vig - if there is one! - thinks that killing someone in the very first night would unmask him. Alternatively, both the vig and the mafia targetted the same victim (coincidences happen).

Don't put words in my mouth; I said it was for pressure to establish my stance at that point.

The fumble I am referring to this...

Ninja'd by Chibo.

What I don't understand, Chibo, is why you feel "more confident" in your vote based on the fact that I stood up for DarkMusician. He hasn't said anything scum worthy and is making an honest effort to get himself further involved to help Town.

6 votes is more than enough to get someone talking, Chibo. If I hadn't said anything, it's possible that two more individuals would have hopped on board and put the nail in the coffin "because he was inactive."

The fact that you're now gunning for him moreso because of me is very, very interesting.

Unvote, FOS: Chibo
...and this.

Chibo's attempt to validate his vote on DarkM seems forced and wreckless. It's also safe and easy and requires no kind of commitment. Also, BarDull was not the first person to "defend DarkM" in the manner that DarkM is new to the game.
You still have yet to respond directly to this.

On another note, I don't see the correlation between having a posting restriction and having a powerful ability. Are you basing this claim on only yourself alone?

At this point in time, I am as weary of Omni as I am of anyone else whose alignment I am not certain of.

Seeing how players vote is valuable information for Town; blocking Omni from voting only serves to deter Town from understanding Omni's role.

i already said when i had used it that it wasnt about the vote u put on me
again, your excuse you're trying to pass is weak

at the time all my attempts to get people to bandwagon and use their votes at the time failed. it'd be one thing if i was leading an army of inactives/newbies to lynch someone. also, the actual use of your power only prevented me from having my own vote count. you, yourself, know that you don't need votes to start bandwagons; just sensible logic and good points that can be agreed upon

frankly, your power achieved absolutely nothing in terms of what you wanted to achieve. on the flip side it only gave information to the mafia in terms of player's powers and nightkill selections. you used your power in the most inefficient way possible and i dont buy the argument that you were using it to protect newbies from being told what to do by me

he did make it clear. you just opened room for the least likely interpretation in order to discredit my double remphasis on your failed town play so far.

Are you serious?
The vigilante going out and killing anyone on the first day HURTS the town.
The reason it is rare to lynch anyone on the first day is because there is very little to run on when it comes to possible suspects.

It is why I do think that while Hilt's theory is interesting, I do think it is wrong in the fact that the vigilante would only have caused a negative impact, while the mafia only gain.

I also must ask how Chibo's ability is not powerful?
He can hold back someone's vote.
So if anyone is just 1 vote short of being lynched, boom, he can whip it out.
It isn't powerful early game, but it is strong late game when there aren't many people left.

The placement of the vote was of course, to place pressure upon DM who hasn't said anything.
Heck even some opinion regarding Dastrn might have been appreciated since it does display concern.
You're still ignoring my point :laugh: were you skimming?

What the hell are you saying? What am "wrong" about? That vigilante being responsible for Dastrn's death is a possibility? You're eliminating possibilities for absolutely no good reason. What if the vig thought Dastrn was scummy? What if the vig didn't like Dastrn's inactivity? What if the vig was dumb? You're thinking of things in a "best play" sense when, perhaps, not everyone here would know what the best move to make would be. And of course vig randomly shooting people without would have caused "negative impact" and harmed town way too much. But that doesn't eliminate the possibility. But regardless, I'm not saying that vig did anything or that it exists. Just want you to understand that eliminating reasons to get to a reason that seems more likely, can often mislead town.
Perhaps he doesn't, at least for now?

..anyways, discussing this is pointless considering the reason I brought it up (remember what that was?). So whatever.

Not buying chibo's reason for the vote change. He seemed a little eager to throw his ability into play, and as Bardul said, he didn't seem worried about its use, as a normal person would be careful to not give mafia too much information. Also I could see the fact that he has to use it openly would be a nerf, as mafia vote changer is pretty powerful, compared to town vote changer which isn't as much.
I also must ask how Chibo's ability is not powerful?

The reason is that town is usually still going to make sure that the person isn't lynched when they shouldn't be. Since everyone knows that Chibo has the ability that he does, people will end up treating L-2 as L-1. If he were to use the ability as a surprise (which can't be done, now) the person would have to be at L-1, in which they would most likely die soon anyways, in most cases. The point is, compared to most other roles (Protective, Investigative, Killing, etc), town vote changer is really weak.

Oh, killing someone would unmask him. How? I mean, it'll unmask the fact that there is a vigilante-type power in the game, but so what? If he's town-aligned then he has nothing to fear.

Are you serious?

So you're saying that it was much better to have a no-lynch instead of getting a lynch and the information to go on for the next day.

I personally had a decent list of suspects that I wouldn't have minded seeing go after day 1, but the most obvious was Reflex. The vig could have made up for us failing to get a lynch day 1.

no intelligent town vig in their right mind would kill Night 1 given our situation

here's hoping if there is a vig that they are indeed intelligent

I honestly did not see the rest of your posts afterwards.
Sorry about that Hilt.

What if the vig thought Dastrn was scummy? What if the vig didn't like Dastrn's inactivity? What if the vig was dumb?

But regardless, I'm not saying that vig did anything or that it exists. Just want you to understand that eliminating reasons to get to a reason that seems more likely, can often mislead town.
Why shouldn't we presume a scenario where the vigilante is actually using their brain?
Scummy? impossible The only thing Dastrn did was be inactive.
Its why I do believe that even if we do have a vigilante, he/she/it would not have made the kill.
Primarily because as said earlier, killing off anyone inactive doesn't do anything except hurt town and the only one's benefiting from it would be mafia.

Which only makes it that much more important for everyone here to be active and also gain more information.

I think that knocking down reasons may actually help, because it will at least say why they targetted the victim and then understand the mindset.
If they eliminated the least active player, why did they?
Is it to relieve pressure off inactive members so they cans imply lurk?
Or is it just to mislead someone into thinking one of their members is inactive?

I admit, it possible for the vigilante to have a hand in things and make up for the lack of a lynch, but wouldn't the mafia have killed someone anyway?
In anycase, you are right earlier, itis pointless to continously discuss it.



The reason is that town is usually still going to make sure that the person isn't lynched when they shouldn't be. Since everyone knows that Chibo has the ability that he does, people will end up treating L-2 as L-1. If he were to use the ability as a surprise (which can't be done, now) the person would have to be at L-1, in which they would most likely die soon anyways, in most cases. The point is, compared to most other roles (Protective, Investigative, Killing, etc), town vote changer is really weak.
True, much of the strength did stem from it remaining a secret.
Unleashing it so early, with such poor reasoning didn't do anything for town.


@scamp: On the first day no one was posting anything. TO have made a lynch with nothing to run on would only have been hurtful and at the worst, result in the lost of two town members. I do think that the loss of 1 member while less informative, also wouldn't be as great a loss. It is why I think that if there is a vigilante, it would have been for that reason they did not act. Since Mafa would have benefited from it anyway. (unless on the incredible luck he shot down a mafia member).


As for Chibo vs bardul/Omni.
I think that based on the points Omni brought up, the ineffectiveness of his ability usage, the act that it only revealed information to the mafia in terms of power and possible night targets,, he is most likely an independent if not a TERRIBLE townie.

I think independant for two reasons.
Firstly, his action didn't do ANYTHING for the town, if anything it seemed like a defensive action in which he only thought of himself.
You don't need your vote to start a bandwagon. You merely need everyone else's, and considering the amount of people, the inactivity, all it did was inform mafia of powers and night kill targets.

Compounded with OS' words from the first day, Chibo is most likely an independent, if he isn't, I would be surprised. On the other hand, he could just be a TERRIBLE townie.

did i say there is nothing to go on from Day 1? dont misunderstand me, scamp.

are you telling me that an intelligent town vig had a good enough basis to shoot someone overNight after Day 1's inactive conundrum?

im telling you from my standpoint that a vig attempting to make a kill that Night would be a gamble.

humor me: you are the vig. who would you have killed and why? do you believe you actually had enough information to justify shooting that person considering the chances of you hitting town and missing scum is extremely high?

I think Chibo is the real play for the Day. I have yet to see room for error in our logic so far, but I am not not opposed to hearing more testimony for and/or against Chibo.

Nooooooooooooooo.
not that there isn't anything, but that there wasn't enough.
The vigilante would ahave been shooting blindfolded.

It became even more of an issue when Chibo used his ability.
There wouldn't have been anything gained for town if a vigilante had killed Dastrn.
It is a possibilty, but it would have been an awful idea.

As for a vigilante killing off Dastrn...it's possible, but very unlikely.

Opinions aside, the only way we can verify whether or not a Vigilante did the deed is if the Vigilante comes out and confesses to it. I doubt this will happen, but...if the Vigilante comes out and claims the role, the next point of interest is figuring out who was protected the night of Day 1...assuming of course, the Mafia -did- try to kill.

This could open doors to new discussion, but since we can not verify that a Vigilante took the shot, it's best to leave it alone for now.

It's also important to note that, if the Vigilante did take the shot, there are obvious pros and cons to role claiming now. If the Vigilante did take the shot, would Town want him verifying it?

Hmm, if the vigilante came out openly?
I would say no.
Primarily because all it does is similar to what Chibo had done.
This reveals his role, and narrows down what possible roles/powers the townies have, providing information to the Mafia we do not want them to obtain.

Omni: Are you still being serious? Because I really can't tell.

Why don't you humor me instead? Based on your logic there's no way anyone should have tried to lynch anyone at the end of day 1 and we should have just taken a no-lynch instead. Your questions are BS.

And yes, there was certainly enough information for a vig to shoot.


Shadowlink: What does anything I say have to do with Dastrn's death? Nice hindsight statement, by the way. You're implying that we learned SO MUCH from mafia killing Dastrn if that's the case.

Also the vig wouldn't be shooting blindfolded. It's not like he's using a random number generator.

And what the hell does Chibo's ability have to do with any of this?


Bardull: Wow, rolefish much?

You're all: ....we should just drop the vig thing. No way he'll claim.....but if he WERE to claim, it'd be so helpful... don't think anyone would do that...does town want this? I'm just asking...

Also, we'd then figure out who was protected? Now how exactly could we do that?

im dead serious. answer my question fully cuz im curious as to how you would have acted.

having multiple people vote and lynch a single person is completely different than having a person who is unknown shoot another person based on preference. the former gives us multitudes of information while the latter can not be confirmed and is completely unknown

do you understand the difference between voting to lynch and having an unknown vig shoot for unknown reasons? hell, without the vig ousting themselves people can assume it was an sk and painting that flavor picture across our brain takes us farther from the truth

For someone who talks about finding the obvious I don't really feel I need to answer your question.

You need to stop spouting BS and start actually leading the town anywhere but the ground. You provide a good answer to this next statement, and I'll get off your case.

Let's say we lynched Reflex. I added the seventh vote and Dastrn hammered. He flips town or scum. Show me multitudes of information.

5: Why does no one seem to notice that Adumb has basically flat out said that unless there are two Cyans in the game that Swordgard cannot be Cyan?
Scamp, this point is very helpful.

adumbrodeus, are you Cyan? If not, why are you aware of there being another Cyan?

Hardly, I never said that we learned an amazing amount.
If anything, I did say we need people to be active so we can get more information and avoid an L1.
Also the vig wouldn't be shooting blindfolded. It's not like he's using a random number generator./quote]

What is this Idon't even.
Okay, one person, popping off one person, WITHOUT any POSSIBLY helpful information is indeed shooting blindfolded.

It would be like reaching into a bag of marbles, and plucking out one.
unless of course you're going to argue that statement as well just for ****s and giggles.
If multiple people vote for a lynch, thats better, it means we had something to work on or mde the conscious decision on what they were doing rather than leaving it to one person.
And what the hell does Chibo's ability have to do with any of this?
I dislike repeating myself.
Chibo revealing is ability, does just that, it reveals his ability.
This the tells the mafia what his role is within the game, his power.
That allows them to eliminate people on the probability of them having a certain role and then eliminating those that would hinder them most.

@scamp: oh gee what do we have here:
1.) paper trail of people who voted Reflex
2.) paper trail of people who didn't vote Reflex
3.) did reflex flip scum? lets look at the late bandwagoners/most likely scum
4.) did reflex flip town? lets look at the early wagoners/most likely scum
5.) did reflex flip scum? lets see if his partners attempted to defend him before bussing him

the point is that i can go on and on. now lets say vig shoots Relfex at night (with Dastrn also dying)

1.) reflex flips vanilla. is there an sk? is there a vig? why are there two deaths?
2.) reflex flips scum. is there an sk? is there a vig? why are there two deaths?

.... that's it. there's nothing information you can get from a vig kill UNLESS vig hits scum which in Day 1 is extremely rare and highly inprobable. hence why i said it's a gamble.

@Shaya: why the hell are you rolefishing?

...What? Have you been paying any attention to what has been said regarding the Chibo discussion? ...How peculiar.

As for me role fishing...that's an interesting notion. However, I am against the Vigilante coming out, as I said in my previous post.

The point of my earlier post was that the topic of whether or not the Vigilante shot isn't doing Town any favors, and pushing this theory forward as fact is detrimental to our line of reasoning. There is a very high chance that the Vig has not shot yet.

Here's a question for you, Scamp: Even if the Vigilante did shoot Dastrn, tell me, what does it do for us? How does it help Town?
