The only two they agree on is me and dabuz xD. At first they agreed only on me, they didn't agree on dabuz until he was also in support.

I wonder if Zen coming in here last minute with his push onto Ran is a Saving Private Rake sort of deal

he's pulling all the stops

Zen coming in here last minute is interesting, but I still think FML is the play. You could shoot Ran if you want, but I think shooting FML has a higher %scum and tells you more.

Also, you should really just ignore every single thing Xast posts. Barely worth reading.

I'm out for now I imagine. Ciao.
I told you I wouldn't be on until today >.>

And that's telling? There's no scum reason to suddenly decide you agree on a read once that read is safe. Your reasoning is faulty, I must say

Kary should separate from Zen imo

I want him to be active toMorrow

Sokr, you know what to do from there if toDay's flip is unfavourable

Ok. 12 hour break for me. I'm going to let you guys hammer out all these other issues you want to talk about. I've made my logic known, and you all know I think it's ridiculous to disagree on most of it, but if you really think I could fake a facebook log with time stamps in 3 minutes that include small talk about our other brother's game dev project, and live timestamped convo, then you have to ask yourself: why would be just happen to be faking it right then and there? No one has asked us for such logs in public before. We had no reason to guess that Potassium would do so. And we're two busy dudes. To think that we'd spend all game talking on facebook about fake stuff and not real scum conversation, is simply insane.

Furthermore, I'd invite any of you to look at the timestamps both in the facebook chat and compare them to the posts that were made in game. Compare the times. Remember, we're on Eastern Time, in case you are off an hour or two.
If you notice carefully, we'll react to each other as we catch things AS THEY ARE POSTED, and then say "i'll reply here" and then we do.

I don't know what else to say, and I can't understand for the life of me how you take what we've done in the last few hours and say "you're playing scummy..." NONE of that adds up.

We're going to have a long talk about meta when this game is over. We feel like the D-Games meta has deteriorated, and a lack of respect for logic and basic CSI style investigation being gone is simply absurd. What you call mechanical, a CSI team would call thorough. We present what is needed when asked. We don't spend the whole day walking around the block to every single person talking to them about what sort of eggs they were cooking when someone died. We consider motives and methods of killing. We consider potential connections between players. We post facts, and we postulate opinions and look for connections. If an "arrest" needs to be made, then we make the "arrest." The problem is, we lost our dragonstones "arresting" someone who practically said "I did it" and then shot at spectators. AND we're "off-duty" on even days and can't do our jobs taking care of the person most likely to be involved.

This is the silliest mafia game I've ever played, and believe me, I can't wait for it to be over. We need to remove emotions when the game is done, avoid flaming, and just have an honest talk about meta. Have a talk about motivations. Let's let all of our info out and spend some time looking at what happened this game, because I think we can all get better at this game if we stop for a few days at the end and engage in some good conversation. We disagree with a lot of you about a lot of things, but we don't think that makes you a bad person. We genuinely are interested in having the conversation at the end. Whether we die before the game ends or make it to the end at this point is less important to us than the conversation we can have afterwards.

Of course, it'd be nice if we won first, and I think there's a clear path to that right here and right now.

I agreed with your post because of the higher %scum comment. I'm sad that you think my posts are barely worth reading because they are full of content, and appeal to logic, rather than emotion.

Kary should separate from Zen imo

If Kary separates, then Kary has no action, and can't kill. Kary should absolutely NOT separate.

What do you know about Sokr that we don't?

Dude I'd be literally 100% dead toMorrow if I failed to make any kill after using up Kary's action.

Why the hell would I do that? Believe me, I'm not about to throw my life away like that. I want Kary to separate so Zen is wide open toMorrow. I'm shooting toDay. Not doing so is writing my own death sentence.

I know that Sokr trusts me and I trust that he will make the right decision toMorrow if my kill toDay doesn't yield scum.

Kantrip I want Kary to switch with me (not separate) so he's protected. Do you agree with that as well? Even if I were to pull something like switch with him tomorrow, he could still separate with me in that event.

If you want to shoot Zen tomorrow, we can sort that out tomorrow- right?

Is this you saying that you're going to take a shot? Because I don't plan to take an action toDay unless I have an absolute guarantee from you that you're shooting.

So if I shoot Ran now and he flips town what happens?

You consent to your death toMorrow and stop playing mafia forever?

You have my absolute guarantee that I am shooting toDay. Still deciding my target, but I will be making a shot.

btw sorry to sound so arrogant. I just know I'm right in this. Like if you were to go to some town where everyone was arguing that the sky was green, and you knew it was blue...

It wont happen. If he were to flip town I'd still fight for my life because getting myself shot wouldn't remedy the situation. But it wont happen. I know I'm right on this.

And also Kary I actually was going to propose to soup that we pair up once I got vandy's approval. soup and I have hydrad a half dozen times and know how we think behind the scenes. I imagine it's the same for Ryker and Raz. This gives me more to read him on and him for me.
:(

RIP in peace townsoup

If we shoot Ran toDay and he flips scum, what does that mean for us nextDay? Do we still have to deal with this huge case on FML? Or on Potassium? Or Dabuz? or RR?

How do we see this playing out with a Ran flip? It seems to me that it leaves us in chaos, regardless of his flip.

Now if we shoot FML today and he flips scum, what does that mean for us nextDay? Some interesting info regarding how he's distanced himself from certain players as the heat built, how others have responded to the case, etc. We actually have interactions to work with, from the most active player in any game ever. THAT is info that I think we can work with.
If we shoot FML today and he flips town, then holy **** we have to switch gears. At that point, I would look HEAVILY into Ran. He would be my first candidate, and Potassium would be significantly lower on my list of targets.

My point is that we gain the most from an FML flip today, and we gain very little from a Ran flip today. Playing the odds AND playing the long game are both important, and they both all land back on one person.

Why am I still posting? I want to sleep......

Everything you said about FML scum flip applies to Ran as well... it's a matter of who's scum not a matter of who leaves us in a better position on a town flip.

Why is this game so.... I don't even know the word I'm looking for.

Xastrn, yes you are looking extremely scummy. Fortunately for you, you posted that fb convo.

Potassium, I think Ran should be the play today. I'm not entirely convinced as to FML scum and Ram's flip will give us a good read on Zen, who I think is scum ATM.
If we go with FML, D3 is gonna turn into a cluster**** no matter what. His town flip would lead to a **** ton of wifom around Xastrn. His scum flip might give us some reads, but I feel Ran will be more certain. I'm 98% sure Zen v Ran is TvS.

Yes I realize Ran is now DM. No I'm not going back to change that.
