You're welcome! If there's a reset I hope we can hydra in that, if it's allowed!
Tbh I'm sure Spak has plenty of criticism of me too, we butted heads kinda hard for a bit lol
Yeah, my bad. I just saw your cases as skewed and dismissed them as such where I really should've gone and addressed you eye to eye; the character attacks were uncalled for.
I was also trying to fit in the middle of the pack so JOAT didn't get lynched, so I wasn't trying to look like the cleanest slot. But I did actually get a little heated last night, so apologies

Sure thing, I'd be honored!
I'm down to let him back in so long as we know it wont be like last time. That was awful.

youd hav been better off claiming the innocent on tom so town could hav 2 clears then going for getting a shot off with your vigi. i know you were trying to stay hidden but due to poyzins claim the scumteam should have had the joat narrowed down to a handful of players if not exactly you at that point
No worries, it's how the game goes. We get heated and all, but it's DGames when all is said and done.Yeah, my bad. I just saw your cases as skewed and dismissed them as such where I really should've gone and addressed you eye to eye; the character attacks were uncalled for.

The spoiler bit also explains the end of D2 behavior that was, to me, weird as hell.
Gorf, I just want you to know I come back and read this quote so often because it is so freaking funny to me.
Is this when I post How I Beat You All?

That's fair. I would've claimed if it were a more active slot, but I figured that I'd take my chances since the odds of Tom utilizing his cleared status would've been slim to none (and I didn't realize that scum would have it so narrowed down).
yeah reasonable
i mean if most ppl want nabe in i wont fight tooth and nail for him to be excluded. itd just b nice if he promised to, uh, not do that cuz i feel like he put his own interest in staying in the game over the desire of reasonable participation from literally everybody else. im just trying to avoid what happened here
Would LOVE to talk to Ran and UP while I'm not in a drivethrough.
And Lore for that matter.
And Lore for that matter.
Yeah if you were actually scum, wp. On my end the only cracks were near the end of D2 towards you, but I still had you as town at that moment despite that. You were way off my suspicion.
It would explain why you took time from dunking on my Spak content to give actual criticism and advice, right before diving back into trying to lynch me.

Ah yes the story of Sodom and Gheborah, where Gheborah looked back onto DGames and turned into a Pillar of salt.
Hit me up whenever you'd like, just @ me.
your language and certainty with regard to tom and generally how resistant you were to lynching him probably gave you away. at least it would have tipped off a lot of scumteams to 'oh **** he has knowledge'
im not giving you a hard time. just food for thought so you can stay better hidden as a power role in the future
part of the reason i made that big post at the start of the game was to try and throw scum off the trail of me being pr. idk if it worked tho

Okay, so things I desperately wanted to cover without the lens of in-game WIFOM.

Pretty much exactly what I said in the thread.
If you want to lynch someone, you must be concise. The more you say, the more you post about it, the less likely you are to get your lynch. People don't have the attention span and if you are posting a whole bunch and not making progress, people will just chalk it up to you tunneling. They'll think you don't have anything because no one is engaging with it because NO ONE wants to engage with that wall of accusations.
The way you lynch someone is picking a number of things, three or less, that fill the following criteria:
1.) They are damning. These things need to be your strongest points. The things they've done that you want no one to forget they did. Stuff that you don't want to be outweighed by more recent content. The big stuff.
2.) They need to be hard to explain away. Never ever ever ever ever pick something that someone can reasonably deny the motivation your assigning to them. If you say they did X for Y reason and you know before you post it that they're gonna say they did it for Z reason instead and you don't really have a strong way to deny that they're speaking the truth, you delete it. The point wasn't that strong.
You can have any number of things that contribute to your personal scum read, but if you want to lynch someone, you edit your discourse to stick to the most powerful points. Easy points to defeat do not get mentioned in a case.
Then, when you're making a case, you're making it to the voters, not to the person you're trying to lynch.

Same. After the UP claim, I was down to about 3 names that could've been PRs and you were at the top.
Thanks man, seems solid enough. Especially the last point about the case being for voters and not the lynch target. Greatly appreciated, and I'll keep it in mind for the redo.
Yeah, I realized that after I started defending Tom. My message to the mods was:
UtopianPoyzin
I like your moxie, kid. Take it from a veteran though, if you want to make yourself the center of the world, you do it with your day phase play, not with crazy gambits. You go through and you move and you shake and you force people to interact with various different points they aren't trending toward. Keep tabs on who has talked about what in addition to your first blush impressions on what they're ignoring.
When you YOLO a gambit like this, had I wanted you lynched for it, I am pretty sure I could've done it. You're lucky this group has been plagued by absolute morons like me who've done **** like this in the past.
I think you can get really solid in this game, but don't try and take shortcuts like this.
As was said earlier, you basically outed Spak to a scum team that was paying attention because of the reactions you forced and if I had been lynched because scum made a move on me, then you would get IMMEDIATELY lynched afterward and you lose the game instantly.
However, I think you know all that already.
NOTE: You do this **** in another game with me, you're dying for it.

I'm not gonna lecture you on activity levels because you and I are the exact same in that respect. I struggle a lot with not flooding the thread in these super long deadline games. I just make sure I go and do other things despite wanting to continue playing mafia.
What I WILL talk to you about is Occam's Razor. I don't think there was anything I was going to be able to do to convince you I was town because I could never convince you that I couldn't possibly be scum. In general, you will NEVER get things as clean as you want them to be and Occam's is your friend. You just assume that things are as they appear most of the time. If you have a tinfoil hat theory, you don't move on it. I saw you reaching for scary backdoor deals as explanations for things in the thread (And

with that commitment to scum collusion). However, if players like me are continuing to come out and work with you on everything, I'll hang myself. If slots like JeXs hammer a scumbag, you can't assume it was a bus. Like, in general, the insistence that scum must have been trying to remove Doop was so sketchy. If people are willing to body scumbags, you leave them there and bury them with numbers in the end game.
You have to be able to recognize that they can STILL be scum despite doing protown things, but you can't let that stop you from crediting them.
btw. ppl i tried to hit up for this game:
overswarm - actually agreed! he said he would likely lurk due to how busy he is nowadays. i ended up forgetting about it when the game started
laundry - too busy irl to play
j - hit him up on facebook, didnt hear back, left it alone
fandangox - agreed to sub
zen - ranmaru texted him on my behalf but he said he was too busy
kantrip - pm'd him, didnt hear back. prolly hasnt visited the site
dark horse - said he needed to see how thing went down close to start date, forgot about this
mayb some others but those are who come to mind rn. id hit up like kataefi, swiss, gheb, omni but the first 3 are so mia and omni i bet is busy with his youtube channel

ryker you have a way of concisely and articulately dropping mad mafia knowledge
another one of my fav posts was your quick 101 lesson on why wagons are useful

Yeah the web of connections was a bit stretched, unfortunately. I shouldn't have gone all in on that; I should have instead just pressured Utopian without the theory overshadowing the rest.

It's a lot of practice from dropping concise and articulate cases. No lie.
I learned to teach by figuring out what people understood when casing people.

woulda also been nice to see zen, gheb, os, and omni in this game

I can probably reach Kantrip if people want.
Hahaha, I could try Omni, but I'm pretty sure that mother ****** is way too busy as a drama monger.
