What is a mannN!? Nothing but a miserable pile of secrets!
(nah I'm just the new guy)
OK, you're new. That's cool.
I think Dark Horse is kind of looking bad right now. He seemed too happy to have an excuse to go on the offensive, and then got super defensive as soon as people started talking to him. It just doesn't seem right
I can also see where people are coming from about Swiss. His weird battery of questions seemed kinda irritating, but I dunno if that's enough to vote on him about
You
think DH is looking
kind of bad.
No vote, no questions for DH (his very first opinion). Commentary. Safe. For a guy that was so talkative in RVS, Dietz says surprisingly little.
Of course it's not enough to vote me. Yet, why even mention this - almost as if you want a get out clause for not having to vote me. I know I wouldn't want to get Swiss on my case as noobcum so very early.
Well I'm also kinda iffy on you right now, mostly just on how much your posting. It could be fine but if you're mafia then idk how I feel about that much sway being had so fast.
Iffy on NL based on "how he's posting". Doesn't specify what's wrong with how NL's posting. Disappointed in NL for not asking this. Kinda iffy. Not, dislike,
kinda iffy. Safe. No vehemence. He's not trying to find scum, just wants to throw out some words that stop people potentially pushing him, that make him look 'OK'. Wants to slide by.
Uhhh, do you mind explaining why?
First solid, hard question,
and it's about a Felipe joke.
At first posts, then votes. After all the votes are what actually make it happen
He came off strong digging himself a big hole, then recently has done an ok job of coming back out of it a tad. I'm inclined to side with the people who actually know him to a certain extent though
See bolded. It's
impossible to insert more get out clauses than this. Classic, classic, CLASSIC newbscum moves.
Then a blame shift if he's wrong - as he barely knows DH.
Well you're the one asking me safe questions. All I'm doing is giving you my actual feelings
Honestly you're just racking up doubt from me at this point
When I say his posts are safe (GG Swiss on the ball)
he blames my questions, as opposed to his answers. Even though almost none of his previous posts had been in regards to my questions. Shifting the blame.
See bolded; a veiled threat...weak OMGUS after I question him. Only after U question him. Never stepped in to save DH.
While you're here, I'm still hoping for an answer on this one:
SECOND ACTUAL HARD, SOLID QUESTION. His second all game.
And it's back to asking what the Felipe joke was.
Useful stuff. Hope you don't attract too much attention with these tough lines of questioning.
Looks like people have a lot to say about me lol
Text wall incoming once I read, but I can answer that NL question real easy: I was backing off from the convo there because you were making me nervous talking to me so much so soon. I wasn't sure how much info I was safe giving out if you turned out to be mafia (or anyone reading for that matter), but after I gave it a moment, I realized it was harmless to tell you how many games I played etc. and just kept going. Willy wonka picture scared me p. hard though, I had no idea if that meant I had already given away valuable info just by talking about Ryu or if you were just being a funny guy
Fake. This cannot be true. He
knows some people have to be scum. Info given in thread is public knowledge, why would he only be afraid on NL knowing this - and not other players? Thought process is fake and thus not townie.
@Kuz: Your thoughts on my posts are totally valid. I was in fact actually trying to leave myself options after people asked me questions, I tried pretty hard to lay low and be ambiguous after NL got done talking to me actually. (you could say he put the fear of god in me lol, but that's totes not true anymore since by now I see him as completely townie)
I got given a non-vanilla role that I have NO idea what to do as, straight up. And I didn't want to screw over the entire town just because I didn't really know what I myself was supposed to be doing yet so I just shot for the low bar and tried to be constructive where I knew I def. could and just passive when I didn't know. I'm not a role that we directly need thank goodness, but I do know I've got the capability to mess us up hard if I'm not thinking about stuff.
I figured the best way for me to help was just give my honest opinions and waffle them some so no one took them too serious. That way mafia doesn't care about me, and the people who actually know what they're doing right now don't get pulled off track. But I guess that backfired some because now people are paying attention to the fact I was doing that. I've been looking at wikis a lot to try and figure out what I should be doing, but the hard and fast rules I could figure out were just not to say absolutely nothing and don't warpath everyone in sight for no reason either.
I've got a neighbor, but I've been hesitant to tell or ask him all that much, though I'm starting to think it might just be a good idea to just stop being cautious and start straight up asking for advice. They want to know my role to help me but idk if just spilling the beans up front is a good idea. I think I'm gonna go for it if no one else screams to me it'd be a terrible choice for us. Chances are he's townie based on both my own views of his posts and just straight statistics
Good idea? Bad idea?
This is the post that made some people swap their stances.
I get why.
It's honesty.
One truth does not a Saint make.
But let's look at this from a neutral perspective. He's coming across as scum. Scummy as **** - Kuz, myself, Ryker and others are on his ***. Scum need him to get townie, and fast. This is the perfect noobcard to play and is combined with legit honesty. He
is a neighbour - unless Rockin is super mfw bad. All it takes is a scumbuddy with half a brain to tell him to claim that. It's classic "omg no scum would ever give that away...auto town go to LyLo" that we see often here. Especially from players like myself that make very hard reads very fast on very little content.
Question this; What would scum have to gain from telling Dietz
not to claim? You think being a neighbour with Rockin is going to win endgame? You think claiming neighbour with an inactive is going to save your lynch when you're L-1?
Dietz had very little to lose, and everything to gain by claiming.. This CANNOT be treated as a town tell, as scum would ALSO gain from it.
See the first bolded in the above quote, the more I look at this, the more I think. Why would someone claiming Vanilla Neighbour, be so concerned about revealing this to a potential scum? I get it's info you don't want to give away - but he cites this as his
main reason.
See second bolded.
What posts? Because you said you were wary of him asking you your role in the QT.
Also - Dietz - how exactly could you mess everything up for us as VT Neighbour? You said you "know you could". How?
I figured the best way for me to help was just give my honest opinions and waffle them some so no one took them too serious. That way mafia doesn't care about me, and the people who actually know what they're doing right now don't get pulled off track. But I guess that backfired some because now people are paying attention to the fact I was doing that. I've been looking at wikis a lot to try and figure out what I should be doing, but the hard and fast rules I could figure out were just not to say absolutely nothing and don't warpath everyone in sight for no reason either.
I think this requires it's own re-quote.
You didn't want people to take you too seriously as you didn't want scum to focus you. Assumedly because you didn't want to die. Thus you have a PR you
believe is incredibly powerful. Yet you, in the same post,
out this PR negating almost all of its benefit. Odd.
Post-claim.
Back.
So now I can spill my guts on how I feel about people: and since this is a hot topic we're going to start with Swiss
He's not my neighbor: and the more he talks the more I think he's scum
I'll scoot that out the door right now since I have no idea why he's lying about this
This gets me. This
still gets me. Self confessed he had no idea what I was trying to do. So attacks me.
He attacks me for a claim that could not possibly be in scum's favour. I did not expect him to agree with my claim and play along - after all he's a scrub - but what gain did town get from this? Nothing. What gain did Dietz get from this? Honesty points.
it seems really presumptuousness on Day 1, and the way he's been doing most of his posts makes me feel like he's mostly just stirring stuff
Get out clauses - half measures. Back to wishy washy.
Is now a good time to sum my feelings on everybody else playing, or would it just get in the way?
No-one,
no-one can be that eager to bow to the will of town. Bolded is yet another indirect implication of newbiness and submission.
K so I already talked about Swiss since it seemed important after he claimed to be my neighbor, but here's my quick 2 cents on everyone else now that I actually have enough to have something to say about most of them:
1. ~Bleck Mang~ (J/Gord Hydra): He's kind of everywhere at once, he's doing a good job asking questions but also has some foibles. If he's town he's just doing ok, but if he's scum he's probably going to be an issue. Needs more investigation, or even better tracker role taking a peek at him so we know if he's helpful or destructive. (scum unless proven innocent)
2. dabuz: posted literally twice with no info, I'm highly leary until he gets active
3. July: Only posted once but that post seemed legit. I feel town unless otherwise changed by some action down the road
4. Rockin: my cool bro neighbor, honestly he seems like town to me just based on the start of our neighbor convos, but people make a good point that if you look at it the right way asking me my role right after confirming I'm new and saying that he didn't want "mafia to take advantage of me". I can't make heads or tails of the Ryker vs Rockin from his side
5. th3kuzinator Bardull: Bardull gave me p. much zero information since he was just annoyed at being made fun of, but once Kuz came in I'm reading him solid town. He's asking good questions in the right way, and even pulled me back out of uncertainty (for better or worse)
6. Dark Horse: I'm weirded out by just how fast he jumped at NL after like the first actual conversation of the game and he was jumpy ever since. Recently been doing good 'town' work, but I still feel residual scum from him here and there
7. Swiss: Already discussed: totally weirded out by. I'm not sure what he's angling for but lying def. didn't help me think he's town
8. Orboknown: Posted like once, same as dabuz, need more input
9. Jdietz43: yay that's me :3
10. felipe_9595: he makes my brain turn to mush. I know he's foreign for the most part but I can't figure out what he's saying at all. I'm not sure he's scum but he's certainly a very unhelpful town if not. I wouldn't mind losing him simply because he's making things really hard to figure out for the rest of us
11. Red Ryu: Mixed feelings. On one hand he's my bro, but on the other I didn't really feel like he was acting like himself for most of the game so far. I'm used to him being super analytical and just a little outspoken when it matters but instead he was mispelling words and not saying much. I know we live in Miller-town but you don't have to hit the sauce every day bro

(drunk or scum, it's a thing lol)
12. No Lynch (Zen/Soup Hydra): Gave me a brief uncertainty real early into the game just because he was way active and I didn't know what he was doing. Came though in flying colors recently though, and has been making great posts and stimulating things for town to read from. Solid townie, hopefully a power role
13. Ryker: Unsure, sort of like the Bleck Mang hydra. His arguments with Rockin have left him coming off bad in my eyes though. Light scum read, but nothing condemning
I feel like it's also way past the time in which I have enough opinions to put my vote on the table as well.
I know this is going to be super controversial... like, yeah... but I HAVE to throw mine down on Swiss
Vote: Swiss
I could have bought he was just arrogant and really aggressive at prodding, but after he lied and claimed to be my neighbor I have zero trust left for him and it's clear he's fogging the water. He's falling apart and raging at the same time. Even if he was town, it's not a town I trust to actually help us
Next on the "lolwut scum/useless?" list would be RR, DH, Felipe, and maybe Ryker but that's mostly because I just don't understand his argument with Rockin
This is the first post, all game, where he has done
anything. EVERY OTHER POST HAS BEEN COMMENTARY AND NEWB CARD.
NO QUESTIONS, NO NEW POINTS, NO PRESSURE, NO VOTES.
We are not letting a newbscum slip by for the merit of one post which scum had no reason not to post.
This is
final.
Mfw I have to explain this **** to you guys.
Orbo vote Dietz.
July will after this post since the reasoning is sound and she can understand this.
Ryker already has him pinned.
Kuz, NL unlikely to swap.
Bleck will follow - Gord looking at you to carry here.
Felipe will definitely help us out.
I'm voting him.
Dabuz/Rockim too AFK to predict.
DH will as the lynch will fall between the two of them
