Giving up? If I just gave up I'd say "**** it" and just wait to get lynched anyways.So...you're basically giving up? o.o
That's...pretty weird to do. I mean, even if the guy royally ****ed up, you should at least provide some sort of explanation. Even if it sounds crazy or just really lacking in belief. Honestly, this is a bad way to go down =/
I don't think people who give up can possibly help town...Vote: Ronike
FoS: Riddle
I am not new to this game at all. I've been playing it for years lol.And gheb, I do understand your situation, but you are new, so I decide to give you some advice
When you don't propertly give out a defense for said reasons you or the person you're replacing did or open yourself up to a lynch (no matter how much of a burden you may be), you're basically just giving up (at least, this is how I'll always see it).Giving up? If I just gave up I'd say "**** it" and just wait to get lynched anyways.
No, I didn't give up. I tried to do the best thing I could in my situation and I'm convinced that I did the right thing.
You might think it's a bad way to go down but right now I am a huge burden for the townspeople.
Not voting me at this point makes no sense.

If that's your definition of "giving up" then you're probably right. I don't agree with this though. I still think "giving up" is a stretch ... I do try to make the best out of my situation after all.When you don't propertly give out a defense for said reasons you or the person you're replacing did or open yourself up to a lynch (no matter how much of a burden you may be), you're basically just giving up (at least, this is how I'll always see it).
Did you just agree to kill a townie instead of no lynching?
... what?
why are you guys taking gheb at face value?Vote: Ronike
FoS: Riddle
This doesn't even make sense.Alright, after reading through it over and over again I came to the conclusion that it's actually better to not explain Blazer's behaviour. You might call me crazy but I have a good reason to do so. Let me explain why. First of all I'm going to reveal my role:
I am Angeal Hewley - a vanilla townie.
So why am I not trying to defend myself/Blazer? Because it's better for town to lynch me.
Honestly, how big are the chances for the townspeople to actually lynch scum D1? Minimal at best - 90% of the time town WILL mislynch and that's already a pretty generous rate from my experience. After reading through Blazers posts it's blatantly obvious that he's been playing very weak - I don't know about his usual gameplay but this time he really screwed up. In a realistic scenario he would have been lynched without a doubt. Honestly, I'm really pissed that he left like a wuss and drag somebody else through this. But that doesn't matter to me anymore because I am about to get lynched and I'm not gonna do anything about it - on the contrary.
Lynching me will only help town.
- Town will get rid of their weakest player. Helps town
- Town won't lose a power role but only vanilla. Doesn't really hurt town.
- Town would've lynched Blazer anyways. Since my role will be confirmed after my death people will see they did the right thing.
Since I'm town alligned I'm trying to do what's best for my comrades and the best thing to do for them is to lynch me. They get rid of a weak player for D2 and can push for serious lynches without losing anything special.
I really do hope that town will win this and if the best thing for them is to lynch me (and right now this is obviousy the case) then so be it. Lynch me for an easier time later without suffering a big loss - you probably wouldn't have lynched scum D1 anyways.
And I'm not going to lie - I had no idea how to explain Blazers behavoiur. I would've lynched him too.

If you look at the previous posts you'll see how weak that accusation actually is:That isn't enough to say. You have insight to the role. You can try and reason what he might be thinking and try and clear up some things about you/him. Putting it off will only make it worse.
Vote: Gheb
Can someone summarize to me why they believe Gheb is scummy? I don't see it at the moment.
What did Handorin actually accuse me for? For saying the truth? For giving Omni the information he asked for? Yes, I did indeed load the responsibility on Blazer but does it change the fact the I was telling Omni the truth? You have to read Blazers posts to understand why people were voting for me - this is the truth...You need to read Blazers posts to understand it.
![]()
OK, do you really need to post a reason if you just want to pressure somebody? If I were to pressure somebody I'd just jump the BW and vote him without posting a reason at all.
First of all, as stated above: Pressure.
This post sums up some of the main reasons I'm voting for you:
14th vote count:
Gheb (6): KevinM, McFox, Frozenflame, Handorin, Ronike, Riddle
Junglefever (1): Marshy
Riddle (1): Mentosman
Ronike (1): Omni
Not voting (6): Rockin, Blazer, Junglefever, Chill, Omis, Chaco
With 15 alive, it takes 8 to lynch.
A deadline has been set for midnight (12:01 AM) EST on September 11. APPROXIMATELY 23 HOURS.
Chill has been prodded.
Vote: Ronike
FoS: Riddle
Pretty sure Ronike is scum. Who's up for a new ride?
Guys, guys, guys...
Less talking. More choo choo'ing on the Ronike Express.
It's fairly obvious you aren't going to get me lynched in 22 hours, so why don't you move on to something that could actually help the town. You can get back on my *** when day 2 starts, but you aren't helping right now.Interesting that no one wants to hop on a Ronike train.
Hm.
I explained it before: Killing a vanilla doesn't hurt you nearly as much and mafia will prolly night kill our strongest player anyways. There's nothing you can do about it.Lynching Gheb won't help town. He's most likely town. What happens is we lynch Gheb, he flips town, random killing tonight, etc
Cool story, bro.I don't consider myself a weak player per se. Right now, due to what happened when Blazer played instead of me there's still no doubt that I am the weakest link "in town".
I'll leave the whole issue like that though - I said everything I had to say about it and if the majority is convinced that I shouldn't die then I'll continue to help town as much as possible.
So I'm moving on...
I think Handorin is the most scummy player. McFox already pointed out how he made himself suspicious but I'd like to add some of my thoughts. This is Handorins accusation:
If you look at the previous posts you'll see how weak that accusation actually is:
What did Handorin actually accuse me for? For saying the truth? For giving Omni the information he asked for? Yes, I did indeed load the responsibility on Blazer but does it change the fact the I was telling Omni the truth? You have to read Blazers posts to understand why people were voting for me - this is the truth...
...is this the reason Handorin voted me for? McFox already pointed out why his vote was uncalled for but he actually didn't post a good reason.
Later when Handorin responded to McFox he justified his vote with this sentence:
OK, do you really need to post a reason if you just want to pressure somebody? If I were to pressure somebody I'd just jump the BW and vote him without posting a reason at all.
Calling this "pressure" afterwards is a very weak excuse because he wasn't actually trying to pressure me - he was probably just looking for a reason to jump the BW.
The reason I think that lynching Hando > lynching Ronike is because Hando is more suspicious imo. However, there's one more thing: If Hando flips scum we can assume that Ronike is scum as well. Why?
In this postOmni already pointed out how Ronike is trying to help Handorin by justifying his claims. If Hando really turns out scum we have a good reason to assume that Ronike was trying to help his Mafia buddy.
Also, Ronike made himself suspicous again by voting me after my "giving up"-post (for the lack of a better word). He was the first to jump the BW after my post as if he was also looking for a reason to vote me - hoping that I might get lynched eventually and nobody would notice afterwards. Even KevinM pointed out that people should be careful to vote me - I did claim town after all. And - correct me if I'm wrong - Kevin rather seems to prefer a "lynching a weak player > NL @ D1" so I think him not voting me is not without a reason.
Why of all people would Ronike be the first to vote me afterwards? There were more reasons to vote me before my claim actually.
Vote: Handorin
FoS: Ronike

Not HelpfulLynching Gheb won't help town. He's most likely town. What happens is we lynch Gheb, he flips town, random killing tonight, etc.
Lynching you would probably help town. You're most likely scum, and it will help me clear my thoughts D2 with the ties between you and Hando. Whether you meant to or not Hando has been playing very suspicious and you have created a connection between this suspicious person. You also haven't really offered anything of real substance just like Hando.
Unless we have a vig. In which case, I think the Vig should kill Ronike/Hando. Doesn't really matter who, but preferably Ronike for his scummy voting made so far.
WIFOM time.
I highly suggest anyone who is town Unvote Gheb now (since I believe he is at L-1) and look at the facts collectively. We can lynch a "weak" town player now, or we can be smart and observe the scum who is riding this idea in order to get an easy mislynch D1. These frequent bandwagoners will be our scum no doubt.
A weak reason? At least it's strong enough for 3 players to find you suspicious.Lynching me off of weak reason is a weak reason in itself. You don't know what kind of reasons I have.
A weak reason? At least it's strong enough for 3 players to find you suspicious.
Unlike your pitiful excuse to vote me, which already drew a FoS from McFox.
And lol @ the "Nice story, bro" comment. You don't care a lot about your credibility, do you?

Hando, my point wasn't based on finding scum who have unvoted. Why are you WIFOM'ing a concept that I didn't bring up?WIFOM time.
-Most actual town will unvote, leaving mainly scum. Lynch those.
-Scum will likely unvote about first. Lynch those, they fell for the trap.
Lynching me off of weak reason is a weak reason in itself. You don't know what kind of reasons I have.
First off, I disagree that he is most likely town, but I've already said why several times (which you conveniently seem to keep skimming over). But let's put that aside for a moment and pretend he is likely town. We can't know for sure, and like he said, if we leave him alive we have a giant question mark for the rest of the game that honestly doesn't do too much for us. He's new to SWF, so he doesn't bring as much strength in argument to the table (no offense Gheb, but from my perspective a large portion of the scumtells come from experience in OUR mafia games) and he is a vanilla townie, so he doesn't bring any night strength either. I'd much rather eliminate someone who will be of little help and we are certain we won't lose a power role than take a crap shot with someone else and maybe lose our doc or cop. And with no lynch, we just gave the mafia/indy a free kill leaving us exactly where we left off: next to no where. If Gheb flips mafia, we have learned you prolly aren't telling the truth, and if he flips town, we can look at all of us who voted for him and can trust you more. Anything is better than no lynch IMO.Lynching Gheb won't help town. He's most likely town. What happens is we lynch Gheb, he flips town, random killing tonight, etc.
So, I'm linked to Hando because I pointed out you twisted Hando's words and that I thought at the time you were insulting Hando, which I have since realized was a misreading on my part and said as much? Really? Cause that's the only actual involvement I have had with Hando. Well unless you count that we are both voting on Gheb, but there are plenty of other people in that boat as well. In addition, if he and I really were scum together, don't you think he would defend me instead of throwing a major FOS on me? I like how you both conveniently overlook that fact.Lynching you would probably help town. You're most likely scum, and it will help me clear my thoughts D2 with the ties between you and Hando. Whether you meant to or not Hando has been playing very suspicious and you have created a connection between this suspicious person. You also haven't really offered anything of real substance just like Hando.
And now you're trying to control the Vig too? Let them do what they want without your biased input.Unless we have a vig. In which case, I think the Vig should kill Ronike/Hando. Doesn't really matter who, but preferably Ronike for his scummy voting made so far.
Just another example of your tunnel vision. Blazer was incredibly scummy, the fact that you don't notice that shows me that you could not have possibly carefully read Blazer's posts in detail which = skimming which = scummy. And I'm glad you are "not uncomfortable with the day ending on a Blazer/Gheb lynch." Learn to proofread. kthx.Not really.
I didn't think Blazer was scummy nor have I found you scummy; more like cornered town than anything. Lynching you, from my perspective, will be a waste of a lynch. If you want to die then so be it, but lynching you now doesn't remove the fact that we will be mislynching D1. Even if the chances are high, I'm not uncomfortable with the day ending on a Blazer/Gheb lynch. Doesn't sit well with me especially since we have more scummy players to deal with. If you truly are town then you need to be preventing your lynch at all causes, especially if you agree that Hando or Ronike would be better lynch candidate.
Yay for tunnelvision, though this time the variety where you can't see the broad picture. We had 5 or 6 inactives at that time. Why couldn't some of the scum be them? By the time they got active again, the Blazer hate was already at full strength, so defending him would have been suicide for a mafia member, and it was too late really to tell him to stop. And at any rate, there are 2 people "jumping on the Ronike bandwagon," and they do seem to be trying to divert attention. Why aren't more people doing it? I dunno, maybe because I have explained why I am doing what I am doing, and people don't find me as suspicious as certain others. I think its pretty obvious really...I feel like I'm always playing protector, but Blazer/Gheb hasn't received any kind of assistance from anyone since the accusations began. It has just been constant bashing from all sides. If Blazer was scum, I doubt his scum buddies would allow him to keep playing as inconsistently as he has been playing. Furthermore, I do believe there would be one or two more players negating the fact that Blazer is scum and MORESO jumping on a Ronike bandwagon to divert attention since jumping on bandwagons have been very popular today.
Um, actually Kevin's giant post which contained all of Blazer's post was the first vote of this bandwagon. Vs. you, with all your "Let's jump on the Ronike train Choo Choo" posts. Its a tad bit different. Kevin started that after his giant post. Sorry, try again.@Ronike: All of the bandwagons started out with very minor reasons. Kevin only began throwing in more facts and arguments as the bandwagon drew itself out.
Like I have said, perhaps people don't think I am scummy just because you have posted "Let's ride the Ronike train!" Or perhaps they think I am the lesser of the evils. Or maybe, like your last statement basically says, everyone in the town besides you and Gheb are scum. Because that is what you are saying. No one has bandwagoned me because scum won't bandwagon scum budies, which since no one has bandwagoned me, everyone must be mafia. Does that even make sense? Think some please.I'm more concerned with the fact that, despite the case made against you, no one is really bandwagoning in an attempt to pressure you. This only leads me to believe you are scum since I'm sure scum buddies won't bandwagon if they don't have to.
For both you and Gheb I have stated my reasons multiple times. Don'tMy guess is that players who get bandwagoned easily have one or two scum joining the ride, especially on D1. Both Ronike and Hando have been one of those bandwagoners who have had either weak reasonings behind their vote, or their argument didn't quite add up to being a case for voting someone. They both joined in on the bandwagon on me and Gheb.
Again, your tunnelvision is amazing, as is your naivety. Yes, everyone except for scum unvote, cause that will totally happenI highly suggest anyone who is town Unvote Gheb now (since I believe he is at L-1) and look at the facts collectively. We can lynch a "weak" town player now, or we can be smart and observe the scum who is riding this idea in order to get an easy mislynch D1. These frequent bandwagoners will be our scum no doubt.
You are the strangest player I have ever played with... I honestly think this is some convoluted mafia strategy though. I mean, honestly, how else do you explain going from that, to this:I explained it before: Killing a vanilla doesn't hurt you nearly as much and mafia will prolly night kill our strongest player anyways. There's nothing you can do about it.
Also, what happens if I don't get lynched D1? Assuming I won't get NK'd either I'll continue to be a question mark for the rest of the game/until I'm lynched. I still haven't answered any of the questions Blazer has left and as I stated before I'm unable to do so. As long as I live town will be split about my case and people will start to second-guess ... this is something I want to prevent.
Basically the only thing that keeps me alive is my claim but since I'm only vanilla it's not even a big loss - at least you know for sure that you don't lynch a power role D1. And again: Chances for a mislynch D1 are easily 90%.
Time is short and the deadline won't be extended so you should make your decision. Lynching me is more benefitial than keeping me alive, especially in the long run.
I mean honestly, you went from "Lynch me, here's why:" to "Really though, you should lynch Hando." The only logical reason I can see for this is that you are trying to establish yourself as trustworthy town so you can influence the rest of the town into lynching Hando. I don't know, but there is certainly a giant contradiction in your post.Imo the best thing for town to do is to lynch Hando and see if he flips scum. If he does Ronike is 75% scum too. This is unlikely to happen ... in the current scenario the best thing would be to lynch me D1 and then pressure Hando D2 to see what happens. Unless something else happens he's the most suspicious player imo.
Also lynching Hando > Lynching Ronike
If Ronike is lynched we still can't conclude a lot no matter if he's scum or not. If Hando dies and flips scum we got Ronike too. Idk if there's a town vig but I def. agree that he should go after Ronike/Hando...

Um, really not helpful. Don't go pulling baby jesus on us, you are better than this. Try actually defending yourself.

really? i thought claiming vanilla, saying "go ahead and lynch me", and "i'm 100% town you'll see when i'm dead" were some of the oldest tricks in the bookBut if someone comes out and name claims. It's really odd to see two immediate votes on the person.
Explain.also wanna response from scumni because a lot of his posts have been terrible
you keep saying that you think gheb is town despite his cliché scum gambits. you're setting up lynches based on outguessing his alignment which is whoa a good angle for scum who'd know and whoa so is claiming doc and whoa you played dumb and used some garbage "guys remember how ballsy it'd be for scum to claim doc" despite it obviously being a good play. playing dumb like in newbie 2 and bim?Explain.
