Meta, I'm pretty sure every single one of us is capable of doing what you did to figure that out, no reason to do that.

Scumfever you got nothing to say about my 755? Any agreements, disagreements or things you like to add? Deadline is in 3 - 4 days so we best not start squandering time again. Not sure wether MKirbys last posts were scummy or not. Reminds me of Riddle from FFVII. Cacti lynch looks good, Kevin's flip will give us some good information and Macman is getting suspicious too. Those are my three top lynch candidates for now.

Unvote

Don't do it again, MKirby. We gain absolutley nothing by you pointing out Xiivi's identity (regardless whether it's true or not) so you better keep quiet about that in the future. It helps mafia more than town.

Ok. Almost all of your points have merit. I agree that Cacti looked suspicious with his Nick and the RVS thing. One thing I'm not quite getting is why you think Marshy is the scummiest? His outburst against survivors were strange, especially for a role tat might ngiht be here, but i'd like to elaborate more on why you think marshy is the scummiest (i think you meant scummiest as you said summiest). But you'd be okay with the Cacti lynch even though he's claimed vanilla? I also agree that lynching Kev could draw alot of connections to others, don't really think he's scum though.

tl;dr

You say Marshy is the scummiest but you want Cacti to die. In your post you only really talk about Cacti when discussing Nick and the RVS thing. What else?

Before I answer Marshy's question I'll do an analysis of D1 in general and point out stuff I find noteworthy. I'll go into detail on things that aren't related to the Xonar / CK wagon because I feel that scum might've tried to slip under the radar.


First thing that stuck out to me was that weird Handorin wagon in the RVS:

Post 34, post 35 and post 40 are horrible posts. Kevin points out the uselessness of these posts but he also points out that it's a safe play for mafia. This is very true but what we didn't know back then (but we do know it now) is that 2 of the 3 players on the Handorin wagon are confirmed town and the third one is not only the claimed Cop but also an uncounterclaimed major character. It's really stupid play from all 3 of them but I'm not sure what to think about Kevin getting loud about it. Kevin was also quick to point fingers at minor sillyness in the RVS of Monster Mafia (where he was scum) but that's clearly not enough for a fos for me - after all Kevin was right. I will keep it in mind but I don't think we should hold it against him.
Meh. It was the RVS, after all, and I do start a Rule #1 wagon every game, regardless of whether Handorin's actually in the game or not.

The other thing that's remarkable from the earliest stage of the game was Xiivi claiming miller and people's reactions to it:

Macman's post 26 is just plain stupid. "Lynch the miller"? Even if it was a joke it's a really bad one and again I think it's something to keep in mind more than fos worthy. It seems that Macman has garnered some suspicions for it and I can't say I disagree with these people - at least I can see where they're coming from.
Meta-Kirby's reaction is interesting - claiming miller draws suspicion on him. At first I thought that MKirby tried to scapegoat Xiivi or paint him in a bad light but after asking him about it seems that he had no bad intentions and just was a bit confused about it.
As for Xiivi claiming miller? It's certainly dubious to say the least and a huge reason why I want him dead. Sure, it's not his fault that he's the miller (assuming he's telling the truth) and it's probably not a bad thing to claim right away either. The WIFOM part of it is seriously mucky and hard to deal with and I still think that a vig should take care of him if there is one. It's not actually bad play on Xiivi's part although I'm still not sure why he'd know that he's the miller. It just bugs me and I think it'd be best if we could just see his flip without lynching him since he's not overly suspicious.
Personally, I don't think the miller claim works in Xivii's favor, simply because of the wifom that goes with it, and its one that can't be cleared up by a cop investigation.


Nick was one of the key players during D1 being in the spotlight for quite a while:

Cacti's 65 was the first vote on Nick and it looks very scummy to me in retrospect. It seems as if Cacti tries to misconstrue Nick's intention. Nick was not "dismissing" things from the RVS - he only instructed MKirby to not take things too seriously. That's certainly not "dismissing" things from the RVS.
FoS Cacti
Yes, yes, and more yes. :)

Kevin joins the party but a little late I think. It's almost 80 posts after Cacti scapegoated Nick. His points do have merit and a lot of the things he points out are noteworthy. The "gambit" part really looked as if Nick was trying to make something bad look good, which I agree is suspicious. The point in this case is that Nick was too stubborn to admit he was wrong.
Kevin I think didn't have bad intentions here although the wagon looks suspicious. I admit that I have to take part of the blame too because I - alongside Marshy and Xiivi - hopped the wagon without explanation.
I see... I'm not exactly too sure about it, as he misconstructed the intention of my RVS comment the same way Cacti did. (Although, I did respond with some additional comments in the way he was interpreting them, so...)

Out of the wagon I find Marshy the summiest overall but I don't know how scummy he really is. This game is just so bandwagon-happy that I assum that there are lots of independent players in this game which could match the theme. This makes me inclined to believe Ronike's claim so I don't think he should be the play toDay.
The thing about Marshy that bugged me the most was the survivor claim thing. Not particularily suspicious again but I still think it's strange to draw that much attention to a role that's possibly not in the game. Frozen joining that whole thing is rather bizarre as well.

212 - 223 was a pretty bad sequence of posts, especially by Chaco who should know better than to pointlessly argue with an unCCed Cop. Something to keep in the back of my mind (especially since we don't have much to work with regarding Chaco).

I still find Cacti to be a good lynch for toDay and I will probably end up voting him. Frozenflame, Chaco, Scumfever and Xonar please step your game up and start to give your input on things. Even if not everything I posted will directly help us to find scum it'll give us something to talk abou so get into this game as soon as you can.

:059:
Hm... I would like to hear more from Frozen, in the way that you did this. He's a good player, but I haven't heard much from him this game. My suspicions (in no particular order) are Xiivi, Cacti, Meta Kirby, Ronike, and KevinM.

Really suspicious of both Scumfever and Gheb saying they want to lynch me just based off of flip information without really thinking I'm scum.

I never said I want to, I simply said lynching you would draw different connections to others.

rereading

man im glad swords is out this game

cacti scumfevah can go. all for lurking and when they do post i feel like im wasting my time

chaco is mehiunno. i liked his -+ system cuz i figured id have a good grasp of where his head was at but then he started wasting time preaching to the uncc'd cop and stalling. hes since done nothing but lurked so this initial gg read is ****ed. chaco you should consider replacing out

in fact @ mods steel/tom: is chaco eligible to be replaced?

def down to go meta kirby if theres support for that

ronikes indyhunter claim...wanna say it makes sense to me considering all of toms indies in ff7 but why no role name ronike?

just realized xiivi was outed. whoops. feel like im missing something about this claim though. he can explain when he hardclaims then

wtf @ cactis 430. he votes gheb because gheb "only posted d1 to push the ck/xonar lynch" but gheb made more of an effort than others to explore other stuff

scumbagfever absolutely needs to ****ing go. vacuous post after vacuous post. this is making me think cacti may not be the way to go considering cacti wants him dead as well

gotta see more of a scumhunting effort from frozen. dont think hes a play today though

Do you have a better blatant rolefish?
lol

conclusions: nicktown kevintown xonarawfulfukntown macmantown roniketown **** the cop claim

cacti scumbagfevah scummeta kirby can all go. nonvoters get off their *****. xonar vote someone else cuz were not going frozen today

I'll be rereading in a bit, and still doing the +- minus system after a general overview. I'll probably do it in the next few hours when I can sit down and just straight get it done.

Hm. I'll be fine with either a Scumfever or a Cacti lynch. Neither one seems to be making a major effort to scumhunt. I think I'd prefer Cacti though, due to Gheb's points against him.

In that spirit,

Vote: Cacti

I said Marshy was the scummiest of the Nick wagoners, not the scummiest player overall.

I also want to hear something from Frozen because IIRC he's supposed to reply to my 577 and also answer Marshy's question. I'm starting to doubt that Cacti is mafia because it seems that almost everybody is OK with his lynch. Not sure if scum would bus him in this situation though I don't think we lose too much by lynching him. This'd all change if that lazy mofo would start to actually post something and I really want him to come back into this game. Same for Chaco, Frozen and Ronike. Scumfever is also posting fluff en masse - that's a lot of weight to carry. Step your game up if you're town. :ohwell:

Oh wow, is pretty much all I can say at this day. To much junk going on to get good reads, although I'm pretty sure I've pinned my golden townies for the next few days, which would be Meta-Kirby, Xonar, Gheb, Nick, and Marshy. I pretty much refuse to do +- for Gheb because all that will be is a battle of alternating between the two. Ultimately ending up with a spree of ++'s in the end. The only people I am really actually doing today is Ronike, KevinM, Macman, and Cacti. To be quite honest, all of these people really stand out to me. If I had to put it in any order it would be something like: Macman, Ronike, Cacti, KevinM.

Macman: Can't wrap around completely why yet, but I'm feeling he's scum in this game. Like it's a strong feeling. Very, very strong. I'll be interested in him in the upcoming days, but really I do not want him to survive past tomorrow unless he makes a drastic turn around and gleams in my eyes. I just don't trust him in this game.

Ronike: I'm really interested in Ronike because I don't know what's going through his head and as to why an "indie cop" would be useful. In all honesty, I see no need for it. So I'm quite curious there, but that's flavor speculation. I'm trying to rely more so on scumhunting this game than playing "Follow the PR". It can turn out to be really bad. So, I just really do wanna look at him more closely post wise than to just follow Nick's investigation and his claim.

Cacti: No completely understanding this wagon on him right now. It's another thing I'm going to have to go through and completely look at. So uhm, I guess that's an okay lynch if nothing else comes up. Beats a no lynch since he's not exactly helping. But I can't exactly say much there.

KevinM: I really just never can read KevinM well at all, his style is a mix of scumhunting and goofing off. It pains me to try and figure him out, and this is why he's on this list. Nothing to do with the "hired gunman" crap. This isn't a scumlist, just people I'd like to look more at. Anyways, I'm going to go back through and check him out. I don't really see +- being as useful when doing it on Kevin because at times it's hard to make out his intent. So I'll pretty much just post my thoughts on him, instead of going at it in an individual manner.

As far as overall thoughts go, to much revealed today for our own good. Doc should know where to go, and I trust that they will. To much goofing off, arguing, and just flat out whining to call today "productive". I really would like a nice clean orderly thread tomorrow so I can organize my thoughts. :) I don't see that happening though, sooo...yeah, in a few minutes I'll start going through and doing the individual ratings of Mac, Ronike, and Cacti.

I am going to keep my vote withheld right now, as I will most likely not be joining the Cacti wagon. Just seems meritless to me at this point. He's more useless than anything right now, so getting rid of him will neither be beneficial nor helpful. We lynch him and we quite honestly gain nothing unless the slight chance that he is Scum/Indy. We will gain no connections that I can see, and well, I just don't see the use. I'd be much, much happier with a Macman lynch for today. But that even is still pending from my rating on him.

yes!

guys im getting a scummy vibe from chaco, and it honestly was before i even read his post about being suspect of me

i'll probably hammer anyone
Explain why.

No, you won't. Don't go in with an attitude like that, I want you to put your vote down before hammer. Regardless of whether you like it or not.

Can I get agreement from town members on this, I have a theory Mac uses this to act townie when he's scum. If you would, please allow this to stop. It makes no difference if he hammers. But I want someone who will not drop hammer until deadline.

Major scum points for that post Mac.

Sorry, been busy with other games, I know no excuse, but I also had a killer headache yesterday that kept me from catchin up.

Anyways, I really didn't give a role name? Lets see... Town independent rolecop (confusing m' I rite?) Basically, what I think it means is I can investigate people, but if they aren't indy I get nothin. If they are, I get a hint at their role. But we'll just have to wait and see what happens tonight.

Y' know, I think Chaco has a point about macman. More than willing to lynch him. In fact...

Unvote Vote: Macman

If y'all want me to switch back to cacti I will.

funny you ask me to explain why, when in your post you give absolutely no reasoning for why im suspect to you.

i'll hammer any of the options cuz i keep changing my mind on who i think is scum and im getting tired of it so ill jsut do w/e today and take a stab at it tomorrow.

and omg, macman has such an amazing new strat! He- guess what- tries to act like he's town as scum! omg so broken!

not at all worried about getting lynched, ever.

Perfectly fine with a Macman lynch now, he reacted extremely poorly. I will still be doing the system when I get home to lock it in however.

But Mac, "not at all worried about getting lynched, ever" is a scum saying. There's no shade of grey about it. I've used it, and seen many others use it. But only as scum.

Vote: Macman

Chaco and Ronike need to explain their reasoning for voting me.

ronike first tho, cuz he's alluding to some point chaco made that doesn't exist

Not nearly as bothered by Gheb's vote cuz I believe he fosed me earlier in the game and i've been on his back the entire time so it atleast makes sense for him.

I agree with this, that its more of a vibe thing, but in looking back, you've been trying to stay out of the light a lot today, and a number of your posts just seem fillery or passing off choices you should be making to others.

I also agree with chacos post after this.

You are not a Jedi, Macman. Hand-waves will not convince anyone. Although, you are right. It is more than obvious that you're scum here.

Also, I don't like how you'll just "hammer anyone". That implies that you don't care who gets lynched, which in turn implies an anti-town mindset.

Looking back at your posts, I see what Chaco means. You've been saying "I'm down for a player X lynch", and "Not seeing the weight behind Player Y's lynch", but I haven't actually seen you give any reasons, or try to make your own case.
