Danger Mario is the best build ever. [/late]

See, here's my problem - I just don't have comments for most things, unless my name is brought up. I don't know why, but that's why you aren't seeing that much.

I just realized something, you say you find John scummy for the very things I just said about you and I am trying to find out because as of toDay's play, you and John are not that much different. You both have this defeatist attitude, you aren't scum-hunting, and you only really post when your name is brought up or you are questioned.

So yeah, what is going on Sang?
See, the difference is that I actually try to do stuff, but it doesn't seem to be enough for anyone here. All I remember from John D1 are that he posted silly things and didn't really do much of anything. Granted, I realize that he says he is here often and does more than he actually posts, but if he doesn't do anything in the thread it doesn't really help anyone else. I did do stuff D1, much to your disagreement. I'm doing stuff toDay, but nobody seems to realize that. But, it's whatever. I'm done trying to impress everyone with stuff. I can't push a person that is hardly here, or that won't give me anything. I'm not going to go through again and make a case on him when I already have. This game and the people in it just make me not want to do anything because the wagons switch on a whim and nobody can make up their minds.

@J - I still want a John lynch today and I'm not sold on scumRajam at all. Rajam is a big fat null and I'm ok with him claiming but I disagree with his lynch.

@Kary - Like, for example, Sang's read on me earlier in the game seemed legit. She said something along the lines that I oscillate and I'm not super consistent with how I interact with others, which is really hard for people to pick up on, so I see a level of ingenuity there that I'm not really seeing in Kary/John. Her style of play hasn't changed much either (she seems like the observant/passive type but maybe I'm completely wrong?)

@Sang - Personally I don't think Rajam is scum for what he has done so far, but Rajam has been lurking a lot and playing catch up for a majority of the game. He's pretty null right now because of how he has been playing and his slot is subsequently useless because of it.

Sang, you've made a case on John but you're not really trying to convince people to help you get him, you can't expect people to just say "ALRIGHT I'LL FOLLOW YOU" when not everyone feels the same way. I guess that's what I mean by you're passive about your pushes. You make a push and then...well, when results aren't immediate, you just kind of drop it. I.E. your Pierce push.

In case it wasn't obvious, I'm much more interested in waggoning Rajam for pressure rather than actually lynching him today. Added bonus- more reactions to look at.
wow no. this **** is why i hate you this game and why you shouldve been shot long ago

we dont need more from chibo OR seph. they are protown. this has been established a longass ****ing time ago. we just need to kill rajam and NOT give him a million chances to wiggle out of a lynch for "LOL REACTIONS AND PRESSURE". you dont ****ing pressure people by telling them youre pressuring them. removes all bite. we are voting him to lynch and your 20 questions approach just allows people to wiggle out of lynches and have others change their minds

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I'm not all that positive that John is scum and I want to see more from him before I legitimately try to push for his lynch. I've tried to get information from him but he's not really free with it. With the Pierce push, I wasn't trying to get people behind me at the beginning and then I just lost sight of it when Kary and you came into question. I pushed that read to the back later on so I could see what he did toDay and I now have a leaning town read on him. I don't expect people to just follow me, but I haven't really pushed anyone so I don't really expect it.

:phone:
So just kill me, then. I don't really care. Thanks for that jab at me. I give up.

But, no, I will not be voting him. Here's why:

I went back to re-read Rajam and, I have to say, I don't see anything scummy by him. Sure, he's been behind a bit, but he's been posting some pretty good stuff. He's made good reads and good comments, and he's brought up things that were relevant and usefull (like his 1279 or the Ronike and Kary thing he brought up recently). He initially brought up a lot of pressure and questions onto Ronike, and he had suspicion on adumb as well. I really don't see Rajam-scum, and, after that ISO, I now have a leaning town read on him. If you really want me to vote him, you'll have to convince me, because I don't see it. Maybe I'm missing something.

Btw, before anyone makes a comment about how I only did this because it was asked of me, no, I did this for myself. Marshy just happened to make this post right before I was going to make mine.

I'll get back to who I think should be pushed after I get back from dinner with my dad.

asking for a claim is foolish. the ONLY role that he can claim at this point which would save him is mason. kill him without a claim

.....



I don't want this game to stagnate (which is the direction it's heading in) but I really do see some benefit in waiting for Rajam to claim, otherwise I'd have hammered a while ago. Like, what if he claims Mario? I'd feel pretty silly hammering on him with a Mario claim.

I'm up for lynching John though if you're up for it. :D.

Otherwise I gotta stay firm on this Marsh. Besides, we have 6 whole days before deadline, why are you rushing this so much? o_O

theres likely one scum left

by asking for claims you are just telling scum

"hey here is a free pass out of the lynch. just claim cop or doctor and your garbageass play all game will go unexcused despite you being one of the best plays weve got"

if there is no cop or doc it just allows scum to win on a fakeclaim hen they should be analyzed SOLELY on play minus a verifiable role such as tree stump or mason

cannot believe the resistance to a rajam lynch. me/j/bardull/chibo/seph/pierce = nonplays

that leaves

john/sang/kary/rajam

the first 2 already wagoned and town *****ed out both times. kary...meh. just lynch rajam and be done with this day

cuz rajam NEEDS to die and allowing him to claim just gives town an opportunity to lose focus and allow him to live which would be terrible bardull. it doesnt matter tht we have 6 days left. weve got our play and dont need to waste our lives discussing forever which just allows scum to wiggle out of the noose

something that intrigues me: kary has pushed targets that town generally doesnt give a **** about lynching more than anyone else. this seems to fit the model of scum trying to scrounge up whatever they can to survive. at the same time he also had terrible targets in the last game i played with him til late game where he improved

taking it as a null tell for now i guess

That's true, but claiming Doc/Cop in this set up is a huge risk for scum...granted they'd need to take a huge risk to get out of this mess anyway considering 2 scum are dead. Not buying the "wasting our lives" tangent, I think you're just really ****ing impatient. Lol.

J, what do you think? Should I hammer?

Bardull, Rajam is at L-2 so you can't really hammer him but setting him up for a hammer would be fine and all imo and also L-1 is even more reason for someone to claim which is what you want too. Plus Rajam has had plenty of time to post something because he views the thread a lot but doesn't post at all which is just "....." all together.

Getting to Sang in a different post.

I had given up on pressuring Rajam by the time he'd viewed like 3 times over the course of a day and not bothered to say anything. It's still interesting to see what people do -for instance Sang's refusal to vote for Rajam, but John hopping straight on the waggon.

Obviously we have very different methods, but i'd rather try and get a little more from today before we kill one of John/Sang/Rajam. It seems a bit like you're blaming me for people 'escaping' from lynches, but it's not just me who's been moving their vote around.

John seems very laid back in his play (this is my inital impression), does this fit with him being scum?
@Pierce & @Bardull: Can you answer this for me please?

Also I can't remember what I said before, but I think Rajam just needs to post, I'm not that interested in him claiming.

I apologize for being unable to post a votecount. I am currently at a music camp for my summer job/internship and probably wont have my computer hooked up until tomorrow. I will give a mobile version of the vote.

Rajam (4) - J, fmarsh, John, Pierce
john (2) - sang, chibo
Pierce (1) - MOD

I will be prodding Rajam.

So, after re-reading, again, I still don't feel completely comfortable with John. Although my scum read on him has decreased marginally, I still dislike him. My read on him from my 1118 stands. I still want to see more from him, and I don't think he's scummy for not posting content but for not trying to scum-hunt or to help town. Either way, he should not be the play toDay unless we can't come to a consensus on anyone else.

I think, at the moment, Kary is my strongest scum read. There are a lot of his posts that I don't like. He posts a lot of loaded questions that are full of WIFOM and aren't of any help to Town. He continues gambits long past the point that they are usefu, and then they just become distracting. All of his D1 play seems to have been focused on Bardull, even though for a long time he continued to flip-flop between not having a scum read on Bardull and having a scum read on him. He has actively OMGUS'd (like his Rajam vote a bit ago, which he has yet to deny was OMGUS). He misreads a lot of posts (which isn't necessarily scummy, but shows that he isn't really paying attention). I don't like his 380 where he made a post against Bardull because of OS and then gets angry and uses that bit to defend himself. I think the only thing that makes me not think he is scum is his not-so-soft power role claim, which kind of just seems like another gambit.

Vote: Kary

@Kary, do you still have that suspicion on J from your 874? Give me your read on J thus far, if it's different. Another thing: what happened to your reads from 1420 to 1600, and then on from there. I get kind of confused, so could you explain your rationale a bit?

marshy, give me a reason why. Explain to me why you think he is scum. I've explained why I think he's town. I've already asked J to explain, but he hasn't. So, why don't you give it a shot. Why should I vote him?

my reason you should vote rajam: he dies faster

if you vote rajam and he flips town ill help you body kary tomorrow samg. j is down with this as well so everyone wins?

@ seph

whats good? you seem a little lost at the moment. you had bardull/j/john as a lynchpool but earlier stated john was town and recently said that bardull needed to be reevaluated due to ronikes flip. not sure whats going on with you

@FMarsh: He just likes tunneling my ***. :smirk: He's eliminated all his scum-picks sans me so he can devote his full attention to me yet he hasn't made much use of it because all he's done is say I'm scum and then try and WIFOM something I'm not talking about.

Just a random note, when playing IRL mafia, NEVER say "he has been tunneling my *** all game." especially with people who don't get the reference because you just sound so freaking weird/wrong.

Little tid-bit.

Marshy, if nobody else votes Rajam within the next day or so, I will vote him. Alright? I don't feel right in doing so, but this is taking forever and most of the playerlist seems to be absent lately, or maybe it just seems that way to me.

Also, J, most of what you is said here and the logic that is used here cannot be used with IRL mafia because either people don't understand it or think you are scum because of it.
