Because I want to win. Having random votes stacked on me (by people who are probably my allies) is not the way to do it.
Also, if Badwolf and Ranmaru were both jail targets from last night, then it leaves open the possibility that either one still be mafia. In Majora's Mask mafia, kill priority simply got passed on to the next player up the chain when one mafia was blocked and unable to execute the kill. Despite this, I am ok with Badwolf at the moment, all Tyr sheeping aside. Actually Badwolf, did you come up on your own votes on independent decision because I was under the impression that you were sheeping Tyr on a lot of decisions after the second post.Tyr said:I have my reasons for "trusting" Badwolf. That's not to say that I completely trust him, but I'll still take what he says with a grain of salt.
This right here, seems like Acrostic asking people why they haven't followed up with their suspicions on Ran and Soup. This is a subtle push to get scumreads on the ICIES, without Acrostic pushing that himself at that time and I find it scummy.There's some things that I want clarified. Tyr if I'm not mistaken, it seems like you were fossing both Ragnarok and Ranmaru. However, you instead opted to vote Vinyl. I'm curious what exactly do you think the relationship is between the two ICs and why you opted to go for Vinyl.
Monstr. why are you so caught up on RVS. If I'm not mistaken Vinyl. put Tyr. at L-1 during the most spontaneous phase of the game. I know you said you're chalking things up to gut, but does that mean you're making yourself unapproachable to rationality?
Vinyl. why did you ask Ranmaru if he reaction tested Loli? I feel that the question was extremely out of place given all the possible responses for someone on the lynch table.
Badwolf you mentioned in #299 that you have a fos on Ran and Soup. However I'm also curious as to why you are decided to sheep ride on Vinyl. along with Tyr.
I find this a useless catchup, that doesn't paint anything for others to see. It didn't explain Acrostics feelings or who he was suspecting. Not yet anyways. So we are still waiting for some stances from him.Monstr's reaction to Tyranitar's fos is over the top. Don't like it.
Tyr addresses that she won't read into Monstr's reaction, despite acknowledging that on the surface level it is anti-town. Don't see the point of bringing this up. Dumb.
Monstr. explains it was a joke.
Tyr gets defensive when BSP foses him and claims that he's scum for jumping on him. Gets defensive and then begins to patronize BSP with meta and explains how such behavior led to a mafia win in another game. I like this, "Anyone could have swopped in and hammered me. that would not be good for the villains (town)."
Vinyl. admits to just be messing around during RVS. Both Monstr|Vinyl. trolling RVS. Hmm.
Tyr blatantly tries to initiate scumhunting by asking other people to scumhunt for him. lol.
Rag posts his reads: BW town, BSP town, Vinyl. town lean. Don't understand where these reads are coming from or why he feels obligated to out them.
Tyr asks everyone to unvote to prepare for the ceremonious ending of RVS.
Ran explains that Rag should have kept on pushing Bad. I don't really know how much you further you could delve into a misunderstanding.
Monstr foses Vinyl. for L-1 vote and therefore mafia. Bad play notice.
Rag says Bad isn't trying to force town tells and therefore town. Meta notice.
Monstr has Ranmaru Rag Soup Ttar BSP town. Activity notice.
Ranmaru makes statement about scum reads being explicitly important.
Ranmaru caters to BSP being town.
Monstr carefully notes that STEM is being careful.
Ranmaru catches a discrepancy from STEM and revs up the bandwagon mobile.
Vinyl. says Ran Soup BSP are town. Loli Tyr Stem Monstr are null. Badwolf is scum.
Monstr says that he has no suspicion of STEM or Vinyl. but is just voting them because his stomach told him to do it.
Tyr pops in and says that he hopes the night is eventful.
Tyr has Ran Soup BSP Stem town. Vinyl Monstr Stem mafia.
Vinyl. is irritated. Ranmaru irritated him. No way.
Bad is going to start playing mafia.
Vinyl. asks for Ran to make a case.
Vinyl. has Soup as town. Ran Tyr as null. Bad monstr loli as mafia.
Tyr. has Bad town. Vinyl mafia.
Badwolf says Soup is mafia. Meta.
Monstr now wants to lynch Vinyl. because he actually thinks he is mafia.
I replaced in.
Still waiting for stances, yet he takes the time to argue Ttar's townieness here. I just don't think that's what a townie would be thinking of when replacing in, and just seems more like something he'd have to do to keep Ttar.I actually like Tyr's reaction to BSP's pressure in #70. He was at L-1, but he had this whole, "come at me" vibe:
I personally don't think Tyr forced this post because his jimmies were rustled a couple minutes prior as he was being put at L-2. Therefore I'm speculating that he was somewhat agitated while he wrote this. I'd prefer not to speculate, however we don't have that luxury at the moment with most of the newbies away from the game.
I'm not sure of how to interpret his reaction to the L-2 pressure nor his actions afterwards which involve letting BSP go for "reaction testing" and Vinyl. for "trolling". I felt that Tyr had a great opportunity to look into both slots and stagnated the game by not looking into either slot. Tyr did ask for BSP's rationale while BSP was voting him that didn't go addressed and he didn't bother looking into and assigned him a town read.
Now this transition bothers me as I feel that Tyr's later game play when compared to earlier game play is much harder to read and interpret given this "whose reads are they anyway" where all the reads are cursory and the logic don't matter. It just feels like those reads were slipping away:
However, at the end of the D-1, I definitely found the whole check Vinyl. commentary to be something aggressive and a push that I wouldn't think Tyr-mafia would make after getting a mislynch. I stopped looking deeply into Tyr around D-2 due to me just deciding to carry him as town and hoping he won't shoot me in the face somewhere down the road.
Underlined, I think Ttar's answer to Soup's question is a weak justification. It doesn't really explain why he was as quiet. It's like he is trying to emulate what a townie would say. For example, just like a "All I care about is hunting down the scums". It seems like a forced justification, as if it's supposed to be obvious that is why he is doing what he is doing.I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. But I think I've made my motives clear: I want to win. How do we do that? Lynch the right person. I still have a bad taste in my mouth after my last game, and I don't want that to happen again. I wasn't convinced at all about STEM yesterDay, and I feel like I could've turned that around if he hadn't thrown in the towel.
ToDay, I still don't have any clear reads. I have my reasons for partially trusting Badwolf, but that's about it. That's why I've been rather quiet. I'm waiting for someone to slip up. That being said, I won't let this day end without a lynch. I'm considering other potential lynch targets besides Vinyl, but like I said: I want to get this right. I'll take all the time in the world to get this right.
Soup, you've been tossing votes around. Who do you think is the most viable lynch target as of now?
So he got a town feel from BSP. Notice from here on out he doesn't mention Badwolf at all.All I can really say is that I get a town feel from BSP. I can't say much on anyone else. I'd be glad to see an end to joking around, though. Mafia is not the place for that.
Anyways, since we seem to be getting out of RVS, I may as well Unvote for now.
I'd like to see Lolilovesrain and ranmaru post more.
I find this to be a bit forced, as if he knows STEM will flip town. Yet he doesn't really look at others on STEM's wagon, he just sits there and hopes for info to pop up over the night.Looks like I missed an interesting day.
Since he voted for himself, I really expect STEM to flip town. That's not good.
I really hope this night gives us some valuable information.
Underlined, he mentions he has no reason to distrust me or Soup, nor BSP. Yet, what about Badwolf? Ok continue reading on.I think STEM was a valid lynch choice.
I have no reason to distrust Ran or Soup. BSP also seems to be legitimately scumhunting, just like before.
I'm still salty about Vinyl putting me at L-1 as a joke, but I want to point something else out.
I would give a FoS to Monstrma because STEM defended him, but STEM was already being considered scum at that point, and if he does indeed flip scum, that would've been complete suicide.
I haven't spent a whole lot of time keeping up with the thread, but I have made an effort to scumhunt. Some instances went over your head.Ok. Here is what I think we should do today. We lynch Acrostic. Why? He hasn't been looking for scum.
This is true. HoweverRanmaru said:He was trying to argue that the vinyl wagon was bad and was arguing how townie Ttar was.
I have my own reasons for why I think Monstrmna is scum that came up on re-read today. I usually don't bother looking over read advice from the slot I replace in since I used reads for determining the maker's alignment. Aside from that, Loli barely contributed to the overall game and I have no stock in any of her pushes given such behavior.Ranmaru said:His predecessor also trying to paint Monstrmna in a bad light, without really trying to put anything else on the table.
I never did give reads for Monst. during twilight since I was still juggling him down as bad play and couldn't work out a lot of his motives. I haven't actually started playing this day until today and weekends are the only space of time that is really allowed to me to put in time into this game. Let me put it this way. It is 5 am and this is the best time space I have for doing this. Friday night and I'm down for iso'ing either you or Monst. it is a no brainer.Ranmaru said:I was DOWN for that lynch, Soup, but remember you wanted to try another direction. Now, we are going in that direction. Also, another thing I dislike from Acrostic, is that NOW he is giving a stance on Monstrmna, he never really did so before. It feels like he is only doing so because Monstrmna is the next target in line for his death lunch. I mean, he did state Monstra and me as scumpicks in twilight, but never gave reasoning. Sure he gave reasoning on me, but doesn't that mean he should be pushing for ME and not Monstrmna? I am trying to look at his past reasoning and don't see anything regarding Monstra. Just that he thought Vinyl and him weren't buddies.
uh, yeah I don't sheep.Actually Badwolf, did you come up on your own votes on independent decision because I was under the impression that you were sheeping Tyr on a lot of decisions after the second post.
Exp lain.I'm not lynching Ttar.
Underlined, this seems like you trying to misrepresent my push on you by stating how stupid my points may be, yet I never said anything about not having a complete reads list. Replacing in and not even presenting any scumpicks until after Vinyl was hammered by Ttar, was the problem. I think that was at least three days. (or more) You have been trying to subtly push avenues without stating them yourself, something Mafia would do (Because when a direction that is not their own, is pushed without them saying so, gives them that much more room to breathe, like being off of a wagon and saying "I didn't support it you idiots!")I'll get to the rest of Ran's stuff tomorrow. However based on the q&a so far, I don't really see why he seems convinced that I'm the play for today aside from... replacing into the game and not having a complete reads list by D2.
Your point against me is that how I ask my questions is a tactic employed by mafia, which means I must be mafia trying to trap townies, and not a townie trying to clarify vague/questionable statements. You also say my push on Stem was insincere, yet you don't explain how it was insincere.I still need to go over both your justification for lynching either STEM or Vinyl. However if my conjecture is not incorrect, they are being targeted because their current reads don't match up with their old reads. Something that seems indicative of insincere argument analysis or rather the presumption that mafia are less dedicated to the process of scumhunting and therefore fabricate their reads, therefore not having actual rationale behind these reads resulting in them slipping.
This criteria combined with your use of questioning unsettles me, primarily because spray questioning is used as a tactic by mafia to give off a false sense of appearance that they are actually interested in the game through filler, but to people who are semi-decent they have the dual purpose of being "sprayed" to trap less than careful townies into generating discrepancies in their q&a giving them false justification to lynch someone based on discrepancy in and of itself without bothering to see whether the person's intent could have either town or scum motivations.
Vote: Ranmaru
First you talk to me. We have to straighten this **** out.Ranmaru, vote Monstrmrna. If he doesn't flip scum, then I will take the blame.
Vote: LoliLovesRain
I would, but "If he doesn't flip scum I'll take the blame" doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.Hey Ranmaru, let's switch to Monstrmna.
Unvote; Vote: Monstrmna
It wouldn't be good to put attention to it, because then scum can take advantage. If you see someone soft claim something, note it down, but don't give attention to it and hope mafia didn't notice that.@Acrostic, I don't see how the first quote shows anything about my role, but as for the second one, I wasn't trying to be subtle. I'm surprised nobody questioned me about that until now, though.
I could go for an Acrostic lynch, but I don't know that I can trust Ran.
Ok.Underlined, this seems like you trying to misrepresent my push on you by stating how stupid my points may be, yet I never said anything about not having a complete reads list.
When I was discussing cards, it wasn't merely some analogy that I was using for the fun of it. I had Tyr down on read as being a PR claim and if not, scum. However, it wasn't something that I wanted to pierce when we had a mislynch and gradually warmed up to the idea of him being town as it is uncanny for mafia to put that much dedication into being defensive, being authoritative, soft claiming, and then fosing both ICs who were more or less acting in a standard pro-town manner.Ranmaru said:Replacing in and not even presenting any scumpicks until after Vinyl was hammered by Ttar, was the problem. I think that was at least three days. (or more) You have been trying to subtly push avenues without stating them yourself, something Mafia would do (Because when a direction that is not their own, is pushed without them saying so, gives them that much more room to breathe, like being off of a wagon and saying "I didn't support it you idiots!")
Your point against me is that how I ask my questions is a tactic employed by mafia said:If we're talking about the case being undeveloped, then yes. I didn't like how the STEM push was started off the mixed Vinyl read which is why I'm using that on a large part to start and produce reads on other slots. But when I outed the fos on you the case was cursory and produced mostly as a reaction to the pointless questions you were lobbying at me that I saw little correlation for you in terms of producing reads.
PoE, and the fact you have been clinging on to Monstrmna from D1. I have already explained why I felt Ttar was lying. Why aren't you listening, why aren't you even talking to me about what I found about Ttar in my #574.
Also you have to explain to me, why you voted Loli beginning of D2, and wanted to switch.
We are lynching Acrostic today.
Also talk to me about the reasoning I brought up against Acrostic.
Tell me what this means. Be less cryptic. Who do you think is working together? Do you even think working together constitutes a scum read? If I gave you the following pocket who do you think is the mafia?Whoever said that Monstrmna is an easy lynch pick for end-game is absolutely right. I can't say that I get a town feel from him, but this is a newbie game, after all. I don't feel that Soup is wrong in targeting Monstrmna, but still, I can't help but be wary.
Ok. Why?Tyr said:I say that I can't trust you, because I have no proof that you were the one who I prevented killing someone else. That being said, I would probably be most comfortable with an Acrostic lynch.
Ragna will claim blue. If he was a PR then he would have questioned your slot more about your own power rather than continuing to press on Monst.Tyr said:Soup, get in here and claim already.
