I was reffering to the 2nd paragraph. Sorry that I didn't cut off the 1st one ><;;how is that supporting an ee lynch? it seems clear that i thought he'd drop out which is not synonymous with wanting to lynch him
Well if we do it D4, it still wouldn't help us because from that point, Mafia will just have a legitimate character/role to fake claim in. At this point, we might lose just one powerful role (I mean, we lost search man, Grenade man (no thanks to dummy, aka Iggy), and Flash Man). Mega Man and his other mafs have 1 of those three powers. Why give him a chance to get possibly 2?Rockin: A mass nameclaim today is not in our best interests. We still have a mislynch, and as we can see from what has died so far, roles seem to be intrinsically tied to the character. If we name-claim now, even if it nets a scum, we give the mafia a good idea on who may be what role, and hence a strong chance of them picking a strong PR for their kill.
Ugh, first of all, what kind of safe-claim can be used in this Mafia game? Why do several of ya keep saying this? There is none. We're Master Robots. We, the townies, are after Mega Man and allies, the Mafia. I don't see how there can be a safe claim AT ALL. What kind of safe claim even exist in a situation where townies are the Master Robots and Mega Man is the mafia? We had a issue of this in D1 where we questioned Grenade Man (Masterwarlord/Iggy). At first, most of us thought he was indie/maf cause of the flavor, but it turns out he was neither when we lynched him in D2. If anyone can give me one, then I'll hold back. Otherwise, everyone is just being scared of possibly being a target.@Rockin again: The ability of mafia to fake claim won't change much by tomorrow. For all we know they have safe-claims, which would mean that it wouldn't help us at all and would only help maf. Even if they don't have safe-claims, with the shear number of master robots in the megaman series, chances are there wouldn't be any counter-claiming, and since all the master robots are equally important to their games, chances are we wouldn't be able to pick out the fake ones. A nameclaim definitely doesn't have enough of an upside to do today over tomorrow potentially at lylo when we need every bit we can get, and when we may need to do a mass role-claim anyway. Long story short, there is no guaranteed benefit to a nameclaim, and with a ml remaining there is no reason to give the mafia more information than we need to.
Did this make anyone else **** an eyebrow? In rapid succession, Mac fires off an I-told-you-so to Marshy, votes for Marshy's favorites suspect, and then says "don't lynch me" in an authoritative manner. It comes across as nestling with Marshy, doesn't it?I told you marshy.
vote: hando
we have another mislynch now, lets not use it on me k?
1) I don't know of mafia as susceptible to being roleblocked out of its kill, and furthermore there have been no prior claims to being roleblocked, so that comes across to me as very subtle doc-fishing. And to the latter point I have but one thing to say: Are you out of your ****ing mind?So I personally think that the person that has a roleblocking ability (or anyone with a similar insight) should claim and claim who they roleblocked because it was probably the mafia leader.
Also, who is voteblocked today?
Me too he's been coasting for too l--oh wait.Also, if EvilEye doesn't speak up today, I think we should strongly consider lynching him.
What do people think about a full roleclaim?
...Rockin, what the hell.I'm not into a full roleclaim cause we'll quickly get picked off one by one by Mafs. I rather we do a nameclaim. It'll be easier to track down Mafs IMO.
I agree with this, mentos. So long as town has a mislynch, it should use the weapons of discussion and said ML. Going for any sort of claiming before necessary, in my opinion, only relinquishes more information to the megamafia by which to sort out their kills, other night abilities, and any night abilities they have gained since the beginning.No time for much, but agree with Hando... The way the games appeared so far, names and roles are definitely related, and since we still have a ml it doesn't seem entirely worth giving the mafia that much of a hint. I think we're best served saving it till lylo tomorrow.
(That's from Mac) Hmmm. It's a possibility to consider. But with nine megaman games, eight of which have eight robot masters, I am inclined to think that he didn't. Scav has implied he wants to encourage savviness and calculative thinking, so he could well expect the megamafia to find their own claims and choose wisely. With that said, his being anti-bingonightaction could imply him being anti-bingoclaiming, too. And thus, he may have provided them. Personally, I don't think he would have, but it's pretty much up in the air.I wonder if mafia has safe name claims.
(/Chaco) I'm confused, here. Do you support claiming toDay, or not? This reply here could go both ways.I wouldn't want to risk it, but it seems like something we might need to do.
I'd rather not at all, but ****, unless we hit scum today we might have to.
Explain why you are coming around to a smashy lynch, Mac. Don't just proxy off your opinion.What about Hando or EE? I'm also starting to come around to smashy
That's kind of a misrepresentation, Chaco. I recall being active right to near the end of Day 1, and I expressed opinions and suggested being careful with voting because of the Timekeeper power mafia stole on Day 2 before I did my best Batman impression.EE, Lurkers get lynched. I hate policy, but he hasn't brought **** since mid-D1.
I'll sit on the former point until I've reread the thread, especially Day 2. But I will say that I agree with your latter point to some extent, Macman. More than one lynch candidate is beneficial in that it gives you an extra inclination, especially with swingvoters. That said, swingvoting and the fact that Megaman stole the Timekeeper's abilities scares the **** out of me. I say this in addition to the fact that in some BRoom games we have tried to employ "You could have voted for ____ but instead voted for ____/didn't vote/whatever! You could have saved ____!" lines of logic. It did not end well.How scummy do you think the people on the iggy vote are? Does it make you more suspicious of them? I just realized, that in order to have a more successful lynch, there needs to be more then 1 potential lynch candidate. Because had there been someone else yesterday competing with iggy in votes, more than 4 people would have had their vote on someone, and we'd be able to see who people chose. Not allowng mafia to just sit back.
I have a few problems with this post, Chaco.At this point, I don't know if sacrificing doc for scum would be good. That's something I do not want to do unless necessary.
Here's my list of people who can die:
Wiki
Smash
Possibly Hando
And EE
We knock people off of that list with doc claim and save and it could help. I guess. I really don't wanna do it yet.
State your cases, Mac, if you got 'em.Pretty similar to my list actually, though in like reverse and Hando being on top.
Hand in the cookie jar, Wiki...?Oh that's very true. I'm not sure why I assumed it would be a roleblocking ability. It was actually a lot more likely to be a doc save. In this case the doc shouldn't claim. Sorry about the confusion.
(/Rockin in response to mafia having safeclaims) Um, a safeclaim means that they're given a false role and identity to use in the event of a nameclaim. Hence, "safe" claim.I highly doubt it. Again, as the OP said, there is 8 robot townies, 3 mafia (one of the three is Mega Man), and 1 indie. I said this in page 2, but anything that isn't a master robot should be lynched.
Before I begin my point, let me make sure you understand my mindset of what a safe claim is. A safe claim is a type of claim a mafia gets that nullifies nameclaims of the sort, correct? Like say...Peach (Milkyway Mafia), who was a godmother. She is usually considered a good guy, but I made her a mafia for reasons. Thus she becomes a 'safeclaim' (even though her intentions of constantly sending Mario to go save her is evil enough XD)Rockin: You ask what safe claims could be used, then admit that there are plenty of master robots in the series that would not be used taking only 8. If mafia is remotely smart, they started thinking up name-claims long ago if Scav didn't give them claims, and one more day isn't going to effect that. Yes, MegaMan/probably allies are the mafia, but how does that effect the ability to safe-claim? In DinoMafia there was a clear distinction between town/maf, and they could still safe-claim. In HP same thing. Where do you get the idea that just because we're Master Robots and the maf aren't means they can't claim a character not actually used?
Well yeah. I'm just saying that if D4 comes and we're in a lylo situation, it'd be less benificial to nameclaim/roleclaim. Maf would have a more solid claim to have. Not to mention what role to pick. I just don't want to look at the fact of D4 where Maf would have a total idea of who to nameclaim as well as roleclaim. If you say D3 isn't a good time, then I don't see how D4 would be anymore benificial.And you say if we name-claim now, we have something to carry over to D4 other than names? What does that even mean? It's not like we get more information out of a name-claim today than we do tomorrow, we'll get the same stuff regardless. If we do it now, we give the mafia relatively solid chance at prioritizing targets, and we're in a situation where if we lynch wrong it doesn't doom us. However, if we wait until tomorrow when we HAVE to be right(assuming the worst), we're in a situation where it logically makes sense to give the mafia that information because we need all we can work with and if we're wrong it's over anyway.
Arn't we at at a mylo/lylo situation already? Had we gotten a kill now that wasn't an indie, we'd be at lylo now. And right now, we're at a situation where we can do another mylo.I just don't understand how you seem to think that a name-claim is so useful today, but not useful tomorrow. If it's going to be useful today, we'll get the same thing out of it tomorrow, only it could be in a case where we actually need that information to help us. Personally, I don't think we should consider name-claiming until we're at mylo or lylo, because anything before that we're giving the mafia information before we need it ourselves.
This was in reference to me. Hando fence sitting on iggy’s lynch. Seems like hYou are tunnel visioned because 99% of all your post have been directed toward the thought "LYNCH IGGY NOW". I still don't gather on how you think that this role is completley antitown. As said before, there was a town role in Spidermafia that restricted you to one post a day. Sometimes MODs make roles like that to make you think, not follow assumptions blindly. I don't know what to say about his alignment, but I will agree to some extent that lynching him will give us a good amount of info. I just don't know if it the right one atm.
In the beginning of the post, EE says he is still suspicious of iggy and goes on to explain why. In the last sentence he says I don't consider him likely scum anymore. Sounds like a contradiction... but I'll go along with assumption that 'scum' referred to only mafia in this case, which will make more sense given the following quote from the same post. [am i the only one who considers any anti-town role scum?]My suspicions of IggyWarlord as the indy haven't swayed in the slightest from his claim. I never questioned his claim as Grenade Man, nor the ability implied therein. If anyone was suspicious of Warlord solely in the absence of a solid claim, then you were suspicious of him for all the wrong reasons.
From Iggy:
something iggy said
This is a post that really bothered me. Iggy, here, latches onto the naive common assumption among you that whatever indy (or scum) role he could possibly have would have to relate directly to his character/power. AKA flavor, the thing we've been trying to disregard.
Since I don't consider him very likely scum anymore, I won't continue to press that angle, but obviously his ability could be a scum ability as surely as anything else can -- in SWFMafia the tracker was a mafiat.
So clearly EE is for an iggy lynch. I think it’s odd that he points out that iggy probably isn’t mafia, but instead could be lyncher. Which is a good point, but saying this just makes it seem like when iggy did flip town, he could just go back and say he never thought iggy was mafia.However, I still lean heavily on lyncher. And the only real counter-argument I've managed to glean from what's going on right now is that his claim being solid makes that unlikely... um, how? Scav said that every single one of us would have "a little juice", so a lyncher or other indy role is quite clearly going to have an ability on top of their win condition. It doesn't have to relate to their power at all. Moreover, giving someone a posting restriction is a power that could be useful to the lyncher because you can influence their posting style. Personally, I found that the claim of his ability and Warlord's targeting macman to stoke the flames, not pat them out. Have we forgotten already what Warlord did? He counterclaimed a posting restriction for the sole purpose of incriminating Macman, and he apparently put it on him in the first place. If that's not a specific targeting, I don't know what is, but it seems to have soared fifty feet over almost everyone's head.
Iggy knows what weak logic this is, and yet he's attaching himself to it because you guys have put that defence up for him. He did the same thing in Assassins in the Palace/Cult of Cthulhu, where I defended him against suspicion because he'd (supposedly) argued against the lynch of a very good player who was getting RL'd. That's the one thing I've managed to notice about antitown Iggy. He coasts and observes, and when he sees a line of thinking or logic that paints him in a favorable light, he slides into it ever so casually.
As for what we would learn by Iggy's lynch, I laid that out in my big post. People who flailed and amoeba'd about the subject of his lynch would be the ones of keenest interest if he were to flip town, which is still something I consider highly unlikely.
Sounds to me like Hando doesn’t think iggy/warlords actions were anti town at all. Instead he continues to point out me being tunnelvisioned. Which just seems to be an attack on me for when iggy flips town. Earlier he agreed that “the iggy lynch would bring forth info, but that he doesn’t think it’s the right one atm”Can someone tell me how giving someone a restriction hurts town?
Like, the only thing hurting us in this case is Macman is being tunnelvisioned. His Caps is not hurting us.
So unless there is something he isn't telling us, it isn't antitown at all.
To tell you the truth, I've been kind of the fence of that decision (Wiki vs Iggy lynch). I'm not entirely sure what I think is the best option. Rest assured I will come up with my decision by the deadline.
By this point Hando has yet to vote iggy, clearly fence sitting. He even points this out himself. He has yet to vote by that point, but continues to give reasons as to why his vote could go on iggy despite him not thinking iggy is scum.I think there are a few things (ie. Warlord's gutsy move) that point toward indy.
Somewhat what you said, Marshy
and because there has been so much discussion about him from nearly everyone (if not everyone) that we will be able to gauge stuff down the road.
Not all results are immediate.
I urge you to go to the original post to see what Hando was responding to. The wasting a mislynch on an indy is in reference to iggy. He calls iggy anti town… funny seeing as how a quote of his from earlier in this post showed him saying that what iggy did was indeed not anti town. I smell a liar…You will never find 100% of the information or connections immediately. It is an on going game. Stuff comes up.
We aren't the only ones who have been saying there is information to be found.
No, I feel he is most likely independent. Active does not mean you are town.
I remember seeing somewhere that someone said we are "wasting our mislynch on an indy". How is that a waste when we take out someone antitown? It's better to do it now than later when we need to lynch mafia.
Welcome to my world.
D1 end vote count. Hando’s for iggy. During my reread starting from page 12, I didn’t even see where hando posted. Which is funny, I guess I missed it.FINAL DAY 1 VOTE COUNT
Ignatius - 3 (Evil Eye, Handorin, Rockin)
No Lynch - 6 (Mentosman, Marshy, Chaco, Smashman, Macman, Omni)
Smashman - 1
Not voting: Ignatius, Wikipedia
EE mentions marshy possibly being mafia that would want to kill omni, but then takes it back saying yhe doesn’t think that that’s what happened. Why bring it up in the first place. EE questions me.Incoming Johns:
real life johns from EE on inactivity
Zero discussion about Omni for the kill choice? That's interesting.
stuff about omni’s role.
As for whom might have wanted Omni out of the picture... well, the kneejerk is to mention Marshy. Omni was the person riding Marshy's *** the hardest since he got in the game, and vice versa. However, I've seen mafia attempt to frame someone in this regard before (kill a false suspect's main attacker), so I'm not going to throw much weight behind it. All the same, Omni had basically nameclaimed. Killing someone else would have arguably been more logical just to have another cardflip outed.
Because of that, I'm going to throw most weight behind Omni's power itself -- I'm assuming scum figured out that he was a Timekeeper based on his failure to stop time, and killed him so they could get his power. As I mentioned, that would devastate us in a mylo situation, so that makes the most sense. For now, I'm not going to think too much of Omni's suspicions before he died.
@Macman: You restated your case against Iggy, and then you threw a vote at Wiki. What's you reason for this? You called yourself idiot town, but didn't take it down, so I assume you've got one, and it'd be dandy if you shared it with the rest of the class.
heh.I've actively been reading. I actually stepped back because I didn't want to interrupt this trifecta of Rockin, Wiki, and Chaco taking turns sinking their teeth into each other. It's been... interesting, to say the least.
I'm not sure how much of my hand I want to tip right now, but I will say that I don't think these arguments come across quite like TvT.
*continues to spectate*
Hando never previously mentioned any suspicions of iggy.Neither. He mentioned a lot of things in my private message to give me an idea what my restriction was. If I thought it would be risky to post something "shortened" then I typed it all out.
Oh, and since we are starting an Ignatius wagon and my suspicions have not been alleviated, I suppose I will go ahead and
Vote: Ignatius
Lol not sure why he voted twice. You barely wanted to lynch iggy yesterday, but looks like you’re pushing that lynch now.Vote: Ignatius
I wanted to lynch him yesterday, and it has not changed much. His reason for this restriction is rather bull crap as well.
EE hasn’t posted between the situation about him not wanting to get into the wiki/rockin/chaco squabble and the day ending.Ignatius - 3 (Macman, Handorin, Rockin)
Handorin - 1 (Marshy)
Not voting: Evil Eye, Mentosman, Wikipedia, Smashman, Ignatius, Chaco
With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch.
rockin let's just simplify this for everyone and agree that safeclaim is a claim that initially looks townblah blah blah "safeclaim" is when blah blah blah
no it didn't. the nameclaim discussion was awesome because it led to a lot of arguments right from the beginning of the game. that doesn't apply hereIn Dinomafia, you get that Marshy led off that nameclaim pretty **** quick in D1 (granted, I was skeptical and even refused to do it at one point lol). In that game, there were some possible safe claims cause it was so general, but then again, that gene thing Marshy pointed out really helped narrowed down who was who.
you don't NEED to comment on that game. this is why i don't understand your play. it's like you argue and feel the need to comment on **** that doesn't matter or will net scumbags. mentos' point is that nameclaim helped screw town in hpmafia which is why town should be wary of it here. that's all. it's not like he's going to lie about something verifiableHP Mafia (god, so many games I've been used this in their case. A lot of unnatural **** must've went down in that game LOL) I can't comment cause I've yet to really be in that game.
I'm fairly certain you are the only person that uses the word "scum" that way. I know I use "scum" for mafia and "antitown" for ... antitown. So it's not inconsistent at all. My point was that the likelihood that he was mafia, as I saw it, had diminished quite a bit, but I was still almost positive he was antitown. Lynching a lyncher (or, god-willing, an SK, cult leader, etc) is still very much a good move for town. I believe in the context of that post we were approaching endDay with no other solid candidates.In the beginning of the post, EE says he is still suspicious of iggy and goes on to explain why. In the last sentence he says I don't consider him likely scum anymore. Sounds like a contradiction... but I'll go along with assumption that 'scum' referred to only mafia in this case, which will make more sense given the following quote from the same post. [am i the only one who considers any anti-town role scum?]
Well, all you've done is state the obvious there, Mac. You haven't given me anything to explain or rebut.So clearly EE is for an iggy lynch. I think it’s odd that he points out that iggy probably isn’t mafia, but instead could be lyncher. Which is a good point, but saying this just makes it seem like when iggy did flip town, he could just go back and say he never thought iggy was mafia.
That's not true! What I actually said was "people who flailed or amoeba'd about the subject of his lynch". That's not people who were hesitant about it at all, and couldn't be anymore different.What I find more interesting is EE’s last sentence. If iggy does flip town, EE is FOSing all the people who were hesitant to lynch iggy.
I explained why I wasn't able to make that giant post at the end of the giant post I just made. I thought I would finish with enough time to study and come back to the game, but I really didn't. Would you rather I half-*** my arguments and insights to get them up right away, or take a few extra days to make sure my thoughts gathered are solid?But if this was the case, now that we DID lynch iggy, why haven’t you brought up any cases against these people? Are they still suspicious to you? I was expecting you to go back and see what you could find from the before the iggy lynch and actually bring up actual cases worth something, but instead you post a general post that doesn’t really contain anything and asks for other people to explain their suspicions. Are you not suspicious of anyone?
Yes. That's when things started to go to hell.Also EE is on this vote count, and had not made a post between the day end and the one I quoted.
For a few reasons.EE mentions marshy possibly being mafia that would want to kill omni, but then takes it back saying yhe doesn’t think that that’s what happened. Why bring it up in the first place.
I shouldn't, but the topic keeps coming up. Real life johns suck. They really do. I never join a game when I think they're going to come up, because I despise meta-nonsense, but sometimes they do. That's just how it is. I haven't dropped out of this game because despite these facts I think I can still be productive if not the supreme activity overlord that I would prefer to be, and yet am stuck on those expectations and bite off more than I can chew. Thus, no more unrealistic deadlines. My full reread is coming, and it will be with ample time to discuss what I find or notice. I make no promises on when.Also I don’t really like to see extensive real life johns like EE has done multiple times. You shouldn’t have to prove to people that you were busy
I'm sorry, marshy, but that's not what I did at all. I tried to address everyone with requests for elaboration or questions and get the entirety of the town moving again with discussion, as well as providing my opinions on the many topics of discussion that have started to unfold toDay. The one person I targeted was Wiki, and I made that clear. With bold text.yeah ee's last post was scummy as ****. pretty lame that he decided to target all the people who are actually playing
No, I wasn't unsure. I was just as positive as ever that MasterIggy was our indy. I had bad feelings about wiki, but not to the point that I felt he was likely enough to be scum that I would lynch him in Iggy's place, so I was appealing for other cases and opinions. There was a wagon on Wiki forming, and I wasn't going to be joining it without substantive caselines. This is completely different from someone simply waffling between the two popular lynch candidates, which is definitely suspicious behavior.after rereading, EE and Hando both stated at the end of D1 that they were unsure on a wiki lynch. EE said he wants to lynch iggy but if someone could tell him why wiki was scummy he may consider lynching him. Hando said he was unsure on whether iggy or wiki wud be the proper play.
Cool st...what? I have nothing to answer here.This was in reference to me. Hando fence sitting on iggy’s lynch. Seems like h
No. The actual restriction itself was what I was bringing attention to. Having to post in all caps or not using abbreviations is not antitown. It just seemed really odd that you kept gunning solely for him. In hind sight, knowing that if you mess up then you die then it may seem that the role is sort of anti town; however, it's more of how you choose to use that ability that determines how it is categorized (Is a Doc antitown? No. Is it antitown to refuse to use the ability? Yes)Sounds to me like Hando doesn’t think iggy/warlords actions were anti town at all. Instead he continues to point out me being tunnelvisioned. Which just seems to be an attack on me for when iggy flips town. Earlier he agreed that “the iggy lynch would bring forth info, but that he doesn’t think it’s the right one atm”
So I was discussing before I cast my vote. Your point is? And learn to use the terms correctly please, or at least acknowledge stuff that is obviously in the quote. I said I thought Iggy was an indy aka antitown aka not really quite scum but is not town.By this point Hando has yet to vote iggy, clearly fence sitting. He even points this out himself. He has yet to vote by that point, but continues to give reasons as to why his vote could go on iggy despite him not thinking iggy is scum.
I smell illiteracy. Explained above.I urge you to go to the original post to see what Hando was responding to. The wasting a mislynch on an indy is in reference to iggy. He calls iggy anti town… funny seeing as how a quote of his from earlier in this post showed him saying that what iggy did was indeed not anti town. I smell a liar…
What were all those quotes above this?Hando never previously mentioned any suspicions of iggy.
Maybe I forgot? Not helpful here.Lol not sure why he voted twice.
No, I wasn't entirely decided between the options given. Also, note I had my vote on Iggy at the end of Day1.You barely wanted to lynch iggy yesterday, but looks like you’re pushing that lynch now.
Oh, you admit to being tunnel visioned now? Didn't you just say:And sorry guys about my poor play earlier in the game, I have not made an attempt to actively scumhunt until now, I was indeed being tunnelvisioned. But that will change hopefully.
Mmm k.Instead he continues to point out me being tunnelvisioned. Which just seems to be an attack on me for when iggy flips town.
No, I do not support claiming today. I feel it is really in bad taste, however, if we did have doc claim we could rule people out on who he protected from the Nightkill. t would provide good insight, however, unless we lynched right today it would be in vain. I don't think it's worth risking at this time. Perhaps tomorrow, but that's considering that Doc is alive. Looking to far ahead.Evil Eye said:(/Chaco) I'm confused, here. Do you support claiming toDay, or not? This reply here could go both ways.
If someone makes a bisexuality joke I'm going to pistolwhip them.
Yeah, I got confused on when you actually had last responded. Instead of looking I just guesstimated. Not a good idea, lol.EE said:That's kind of a misrepresentation, Chaco. I recall being active right to near the end of Day 1, and I expressed opinions and suggested being careful with voting because of the Timekeeper power mafia stole on Day 2 before I did my best Batman impression.
If you were still gunning for me I'd be calling shenanigans, but I assume it's just been so long since you've seen me around here you don't have your facts straight on me anymore, which is understandable. All the same, I felt inclined to respond to this statement.
1) Well, they are not informed, it can just be deduced from the no kill/doc target still being a live. That doesn't mean that the situation is bulletproof, because the mafia could choose not to kill that night for some reason and it would make that null. And could only hurt town. It's one of those things that's a last ditch. We're not exactly on the last ditch but we're getting close. So that's why I tossed the idea around.EE said:I have a few problems with this post, Chaco.
1) Having the Doc claim -- assuming doc save is what transpired -- is not the doc sacrificing himself to hit scum. A doc is not a cop. They don't know who made the attempt that they foiled. In fact, I believe they only know that they may have foiled an attempt. I have never played a doc, but I don't think they're informed that they save someone formally.
With that said, I do agree that doc should not claim unless necessary, because we're on D3 with no scum down, and thus a doc is going to become a real weapon as this game continues forward. A weapon I'd rather keep alive, and on our side.
2) Mind restating your cases against your scumlist? Or are you still ruminating which ones you feel are worth pursuing? Personally I've never cared for just a list of "people who can die", but many players are wont to do that, so I can't twist your arm on that one.
3) "We knock people off of that list with doc claim and save and it could help". Um, no we don't. What if the doc saved you? You're not on the list. What if the doc isn't on the list? What if neither of them are? What if your list is fallible (and there's a good chance it is)? This point made no sense to me whatsoever.
Anyone can be/act confident no matter what side they're on. As long as they're calm and things go into plan, they will always have a confident air on them.Yedi's town, you can tell from the confidence.
Expect a large post tomorrow night.
