I was on the iPod. Thanks for caring lol.Lol wut. Mindgames?
It seems kinda weird that you guys aren't really suspisous of each other which kinda makes me think that you don't want to throw your fellow scum out into the light. But on the other hand, it seems unlikely that you would pick such similar dinosaurs if you two are working together. What seems most likely though, is that one of you is scum and doesn't want to make too big of a scene against the other player, because if, lets say pythag is mafia, and mentosman gets voted off today, pythag WILL follow, and vice versa.I like to think I don't lower myself to OMGUS votes/suspicions.
I understand that people are going to be suspicious of me because of
A) I have the same genus as mentos
and
B) I led the macman fiasco
With that in mind I'm trying to let votes on me guide my suspicions.
and for the record, I'm more suspicious of niiro, not numbers. currently.
still waiting on thisThere however are some things I'm kind of concerned about. I'm going to post them in a few when I get the chance to organize my thoughts.
I think it’s suspicious to try to manipulate the town into doing what you want. Originally I look past my views because it seemed like Marshy’s plan had some merit. However in retrospect the name claim didn’t really help us figure anything out. I mean ronike, the only mafia we know of now, was late cretaceous. This brings up the possibility that Marshy and how other mafia buddies knew about this and planned the whole name claim. However this is not where my argument lies.btw if we don't agree to it before then i'll be nameclaiming March 28 unless there's some really convincing reason not to. i'd force it so we'd have a few days to get everybody to do it before a lynch and will probably ask for an extension as well. A nameclaim forces mafia to lie and since it won't reveal power roles it'll be giving us a chance to catch them in a lie or see if they slip-up or whatever.
Townie? Why would you be so sure that it was a townie that wouldn’t want to name claim? Is it because you know your mafia buddies will? This is also small and probably not a real slip but I just wanted to point it out.and to clarify Macman: I'm trying to convince everybody that it's a good idea but if they disagree, then i will try to force them into it by sparking it. not everybody needs to say yes/maybe to the nameclaim, just enough people that would nameclaim so the only townie who did so wouldn't be a sitting duck, because at that point anybody who still doesn't nameclaim will be more suspicious for good reason.
I think the way you acted here was hella scummy. You were planning on voting me simply because I had my vote on you. And you wanted to make sure I would get lynched simply because I had my vote on you. You were essentially threatening me not to use my vote the way I saw fit which is something I find scummy as hell.since you're doing this i'm going to force this to be an annoying situation for both of us. with the plurality it's possible that we won't be able to decide on a good lynch candidate, and you'll be the only person with a vote which'd be on me leading to my lynching. since i'd rather you die than me, i'm letting you know now that i'm voting you immediately once D2 starts so when you tie it with me, i can be sure that you'll be the one dead instead of me since in case of a tie the person who got voted on first will be lynched when deadline hits. though i'd rather you just unvote me and agree that it'd be way suspicious if either of us voted each other immediately once D2 starts
In this quote, we see Marshy start the bandwagon for voting off lombo. He moves off or Rockin pretty quickly after Rockin role claims. I was thinking that Marshy may be the Mafia Godfather or he knew Rockin was naïve so he didn’t feel a threat from rockin.bah
unvote yaya
vote lombo
not sure of rockin's sanity but don't want to risk it just yet. i think it's time to call lombo's bluff
Then shortly before the deadline ends and more people have voted for him. He removes his vote saying “he doesn’t want to end the day just yet.” Noone even posted between this post and when the deadline ended. He didn’t offer up any other points of discussion. So I wondered for a while as to why he removed his vote on a person he began the bandwagon on. I think that it was to lead up to this post:unvote lombo 6 to lynch and we're at 5.
don't want to end Day just yet
He incriminates the people who voted for Lombo. It doesn’t matter to him that he started the bandwagon or that he removed his vote right before the day was over. It seemed like he just didn’t want to be on the final vote tally so he would be clear to make a post like this one. Yet again this seems manipulative, and seems to be a good way for him to shed suspicion on other people while keeping it off of himself.as for rockin's sanity i think it'd be dangerous to assume that yaya is cleared though i know he was right about me. that also makes me hesitant to lynch him toDay but that doesn't mean he should post less because of it.
also what should we make of of the vote count from yesterDay?
for reference:
Mr.Lombardi34 (5) - Macman, Rockin, mentosman8, Yaya, Niiro
Rockin (3) - karthik_king, 1048576, Mr.Lombardi34
i'm leaning that one of those 4 players voted Lombo to finish him with a nightkill since we know mafia most likely did it. they knew he wasn't one of them so they didn't want to take a chance of lombo being a 1 time bulletproof as Townie. also maybe lombo was onto something
if that's the case then hell no.
everybody's said yes except me. unless you're telling me that i'm the last mafia and worked with ronike then it's obvious mafia wants this roleclaim.
2 cops are dead and it's likely that there're multiple protective roles as well. mafia can easily just say "i'm vanilla" and/or "i'm doc" and we'd be screwed if people actually fell for it. they wouldn't even have to trigger a counterclaim fight because we've seen 2 similar roles in this game.
vote mentos for pushing this idea the most
And then we come to this. He asks for everyone elses opinion before he gives his own. Than when he does he tries to demands that we do it his way, even though that goes against what most of the town decided. Another example of how he is trying to manipulate or force the town into doing something. I don’t know if I am alone in thinking this, but generally mafia aren’t for a roleclaim. I am starting to think this was just a sly trick so that we wouldn’t role claim and also get a reason to vote someone [mentos]. A reason I don’t really think is valid at all.we shouldn't roleclaim for the rest of the game
read between the lines. 3 other players toDay alone have hinted at power roles yet you single me out. silly.He made it apparent that he had some sort of power role.
and to clarify Macman: I'm trying to convince everybody that it's a good idea but if they disagree, then i will try to force them into it by sparking it. not everybody needs to say yes/maybe to the nameclaim, just enough people that would nameclaim so the only townie who did so wouldn't be a sitting duck, because at that point anybody who still doesn't nameclaim will be more suspicious for good reason.
what? read the quote. i said "just enough people that would nameclaim so the only townie who did so wouldn't be a sitting duck". i was saying the entire time that i'd be the first one to nameclaim and was referring to myself in that quote. i didn't want to nameclaim out of nowhere without being sure that others would follow.Macman said:Townie? Why would you be so sure that it was a townie that wouldn’t want to name claim? Is it because you know your mafia buddies will?
i was planning on making things even. sorry but if it's you or me it's obvious who i'm going to choose to let die. you voting me that way put pressure on me because if nobody else voted i'd be lynched. stop acting like that's unreasonable.I think the way you acted here was hella scummy. You were planning on voting me simply because I had my vote on you. And you wanted to make sure I would get lynched simply because I had my vote on you. You were essentially threatening me not to use my vote the way I saw fit which is something I find scummy as hell.
i moved off rockin because i didn't want to risk lynching a cop.In this quote, we see Marshy start the bandwagon for voting off lombo. He moves off or Rockin pretty quickly after Rockin role claims. I was thinking that Marshy may be the Mafia Godfather or he knew Rockin was naïve so he didn’t feel a threat from rockin.
i unvoted lombo in case anybody had anything else to say. unvoting lombo like that didn't actually hurt anything and the only thing that could come of it were more posts before Day ended.Then shortly before the deadline ends and more people have voted for him. He removes his vote saying “he doesn’t want to end the day just yet.” Noone even posted between this post and when the deadline ended. He didn’t offer up any other points of discussion. So I wondered for a while as to why he removed his vote on a person he began the bandwagon on.
feel free to be suspicious of me for voting lombo then. here's the deal: lombo was independent and the mafia didn't know this thus i think it's likely that at least one of them voted lombo before the Day ended because they'd be getting rid of someone who wasn't with them.He incriminates the people who voted for Lombo. It doesn’t matter to him that he started the bandwagon or that he removed his vote right before the day was over. It seemed like he just didn’t want to be on the final vote tally so he would be clear to make a post like this one. Yet again this seems manipulative, and seems to be a good way for him to shed suspicion on other people while keeping it off of himself.
wow no. there're mafia members and independents still around. when everybody else said "let's roleclaim!" i figured that the remaining independents/mafia could just roleclaim whatever and slip by. it doesn't matter how many Townies endorse an idea when every single non-Town player endorses it too. that most likely means it'll hurt Town.He asks for everyone elses opinion before he gives his own. Than when he does he tries to demands that we do it his way, even though that goes against what most of the town decided.
not a trick. i already explained "hey mafia could roleclaim vanilla or even a power role and it'd lead to a huge mess" and you're saying i'm mafia? i get everybody to go with something that would benefit me as mafia then shut it down? that's my plan? silly. i'm not mafia and we still shouldn't roleclaim.I don’t know if I am alone in thinking this, but generally mafia aren’t for a roleclaim. I am starting to think this was just a sly trick so that we wouldn’t role claim and also get a reason to vote someone [mentos]. A reason I don’t really think is valid at all.
i don't care if you said that you're not going into this. mafia probably hasn't nightkilled me because i'm sure that i've gone in the wrong direction a few times now and because i have the most posts to the skew like you just did.I find it odd that mafia didn’t choose to kill him either N1 or N2.
Now, don't confuse this with an OMGUS type thing. The reason I find this suspicious is mainly due to the reason given. He says he's voting me for pushing it, but when we look at day 1, he was prepared to literally FORCE the town to name-claim. I'll come back to this in a little bit.vote mentos for pushing this idea the most
Now the first one I don't remember exactly what he said, so I won't comment on. Second, if he was mafia, he would have reminded them via outside-of-thread messaging(Assuming that, as usual, mafia can converse as such during day), not in the thread. As for the last comment here, yes he tried to force the nameclaim, but how did he do it? By saying that he would do it regardless before anyone else. Now, granted there are a lot of dinos to choose from, it seems somewhat unlikely that a mafioso would force this by claiming first, as you then have 12 possible people countering your claim. That is the big point that stuck out when he did this.I’ll sum up my reasons for being suspicious of marshy earlier on.
He made it apparent that he had some sort of power role.
He made stated over and over that there was a way Mafia could mess up with nameclaim. Saying this only would seem to help mafia, forcing them to look for what they could have possibly overlooked.
And possibly my biggest reason, he tried to force the nameclaim. As it shows in this next quote.
It is somewhat suspicious, but see my above comment. Also, Ronike was one of the first to say he knew what Marshy was talking about in the possible slip ups, so it doesn't equate to him being mafia just because a maf claim fit.I think it’s suspicious to try to manipulate the town into doing what you want. Originally I look past my views because it seemed like Marshy’s plan had some merit. However in retrospect the name claim didn’t really help us figure anything out. I mean ronike, the only mafia we know of now, was late cretaceous. This brings up the possibility that Marshy and how other mafia buddies knew about this and planned the whole name claim. However this is not where my argument lies
You just took that completely out of context to make that argument. The original post referred to him going to claim regardless, and he was saying he wanted enough yes/maybes that it wouldn't leave a possibility of him being the only townie to do so.Townie? Why would you be so sure that it was a townie that wouldn’t want to name claim? Is it because you know your mafia buddies will? This is also small and probably not a real slip but I just wanted to point it out.
I do agree this was somewhat odd. Reading Marshy's explanation, I still feel voting at the beginning of D2 "In case no one else voted" seems kind of weak, and I would like to hear a stronger explanation here.I think the way you acted here was hella scummy. You were planning on voting me simply because I had my vote on you. And you wanted to make sure I would get lynched simply because I had my vote on you. You were essentially threatening me not to use my vote the way I saw fit which is something I find scummy as hell.
Here, you assume Marshy must be mafia. If I had voted Rockin already, I would have moved off just as fast. There is no use risking lynching a cop claim if you're a townie, and every reason to do it if you're a maf who has an inno investigation on him. If Marshy was maf, I think he would have pushed how suspicious the claim was and tried to get him lynched to have him die a cop and "clear" himself. Also, the bandwagon you refer to wasn't so much a bandwagon as "we decided we need to test him, we don't have any safe ideas right now, let's take care of this.In this quote, we see Marshy start the bandwagon for voting off lombo. He moves off or Rockin pretty quickly after Rockin role claims. I was thinking that Marshy may be the Mafia Godfather or he knew Rockin was naïve so he didn’t feel a threat from rockin.
He merely did this because there were only hours left in the day, and the lynch would happen regardless. Instead of allowing the day to end early, which was unnecessary at that point, and you never know if someone will have something to say after that point.Then shortly before the deadline ends and more people have voted for him. He removes his vote saying “he doesn’t want to end the day just yet.” Noone even posted between this post and when the deadline ended. He didn’t offer up any other points of discussion. So I wondered for a while as to why he removed his vote on a person he began the bandwagon on. I think that it was to lead up to this post:
The problem with this theory is that Marshy has been saying how we needed to test Lombo at some point since his initial claim. Anyone who paid any attention to the thread would know this, so it would be a stupid attempt to make, and a mistake a player like him is unlikely to make.He incriminates the people who voted for Lombo. It doesn’t matter to him that he started the bandwagon or that he removed his vote right before the day was over. It seemed like he just didn’t want to be on the final vote tally so he would be clear to make a post like this one. Yet again this seems manipulative, and seems to be a good way for him to shed suspicion on other people while keeping it off of himself.
I was saying the reasons why I was suspicious of you day1, not today.read between the lines. 3 other players toDay alone have hinted at power roles yet you single me out. silly.
I completely misread this quote. I thought you were saying that you would force everyone to claim so that the only townie who didn't claim would be a sitting duck.what? read the quote. i said "just enough people that would nameclaim so the only townie who did so wouldn't be a sitting duck". i was saying the entire time that i'd be the first one to nameclaim and was referring to myself in that quote. i didn't want to nameclaim out of nowhere without being sure that others would follow
So you actually thought that we as a town weren't gonna vote anyone d2?i was planning on making things even. sorry but if it's you or me it's obvious who i'm going to choose to let die. you voting me that way put pressure on me because if nobody else voted i'd be lynched. stop acting like that's unreasonable.
does it carry over or not? i thought you mentioned it now because you still don't like it which i find silly considering others have done so recentlyI was saying the reasons why I was suspicious of you day1, not today.
no. once the vote started moving towards someone else and your vote wasn't enough to lynch me due to plurality i'd stop doing the same to you.So you actually thought that we as a town weren't gonna vote anyone d2?
you're being way too vague here with the nameclaim and roleclaim. you still haven't explained how that was unjustified. nameclaim would barely hurt us with a potential big gain and roleclaim could very well ruin everything like it did in mafia milkyway. i said you can feel free to be suspicious of me for voting lombo as well since i endorsed his lynch. i'm just aware that i'm Town and think at least one of mafia most likely nudged a lombo lynch since that was the general consensus.My main point is that Marshy is constantly trying to push things or force things on the town. The way he handled the name claim and the roleclaim. What I find most scummy is how he is quick to shed suspicion on people for voting lombo, when he himself was supporting a vote for Lombo right until the end.
that second quote in post #664 was mainly what i was getting at but apparently you misread it. you also keep saying that it was wrong of me to handle the roleclaim the way i did yet you haven't actually explained how my reasoning for being against it was unjustified. i also still don't understand how pushing the nameclaim as hard as i did helps mafia that much either. earlier you said i could be doing it as a bold play but even that doesn't clear me. i didn't plan that back and forth with ronike which is what you'd have to think in order to accuse me of being mafiaoh and enlighten me; what posts did i "skew" and what pieces of facts have I ignored?
Everyone else who was against the nameclaim has been killed, with mixed (mostly negative) results. Does anyone have any opinions on this?for a d1 nameclaim from the start
Marshy- been pushing the entire time
Niiro- urges us to do it quickly to give mafia less time
1048578- he's been arguing for it
Lombo- said there's no harm done
karthik- said that he thinks most players will have well-known dinosaurs making it difficult for mafia to fake claim i think
goes with the flow/opinion has changed
Macman- has been suspicious of me and is personally against it because he thinks it takes skill out of the game but will do it with majority. i think it's a weak argument
Mentos- was originally against it but says he's starting to come around
pythag- same as mentos
against
KevinM- is supposedly skeptical because it could lead to a pattern but i've said why i think that's not enough
Ronike- like macman he seems to be suspicious of me and says i'm acting differently
yaya- against because of lasting wifom. think this is one of the weaker arguments and it's bulletproof
smashbot- said nameclaim helps mafia, then retracted and said mafia could always fake roles. that's true but he doesn't explain how it'd necessarily hurt us
rockin- says i'm pushing it way too hard and that i'm acting weird. doesn't explain what's wrong with pro-nameclaim reasoning
if i made a mistake show me
