Whoops, I fail. I meant to say, "look back through the thread and give an example of such." :embarrassWell, can you at least look back the thread and give an example of such?

Whoops, I fail. I meant to say, "look back through the thread and give an example of such." :embarrassWell, can you at least look back the thread and give an example of such?
i said that about hando because of the flavor he provided and the silence he had being unprecedented. if someone else was silenced but wasn't gagged then we'd know he's lyingI don't see how Handorin would be caught if someone else were to claim silenced the way he did. I know you said it was a one-use thing in HP mafia, but does that have to be true here?
Also, I don't see the benefit in suspecting whoever you think is throwing the grenades since it could just as easily be a town role as a mafia one. I wouldn't put it past a town roleblocker to block Xsyven/Eor considering the way he has played this game so far.
i figured you would want to do that because mafia could be worried that the person being roleblocked is told about it thus giving town a cleared townie. or they thought xsyven would get eor's blocked result and try againI will at least say that I don't follow your reasoning on why I'd want to block Eor N1 and N2, when Xsyven took over his role D2.
@Evil Eye
Could we make Tom the replacement? He'd add some much needed activity to this game.
Before it sounded like you wanted to hear him claim so you could confirm whether or not he was town. Can you confirm whether he's town if he claims first? Can you confirm whether he's town if he doesn't claim? (My concern is if it's like "I found Superman's cape," obviously Xsyven can just go "oh yeah I'm Superman".)Well guys, would you want me to reveal what I found in Xsy's room?
Do you realize there is a BIG difference in scum hunting and posting your suspicions?Well, can you at least look back the thread and give an example of such?
Also, the biggest count against you, was that you were completely unwilling to help scumhunt despite nearly being lynched. You still haven't been scumhunting much since that one post (back in D1) where you gave a small summary of your suspicions on each person.
The guy on the chopping block has no right to question others. I have done my share of reading, but as soon as I ask some questions, I will get blasted on who I asked questions, the content of the question,about players in the question, etc. (as it happened before).
Kirby King makes some good points. KevinM didn't find Eor scummy at all on D1, but D2 comes around, and Eor is suddenly the scummiest person there is. He hasn't been explaining his votes, except for "I have my reasons". And, he criticized the exact same behavior! To quote him, "It's like you're attempting to look valuable without actually posting anything of substance." I'm going to give KevinM a chance to refute Kirby King's points, but if he can't do so, then I'm going to vote him.
@Xsyven
Would you care to elaborate on why you don't think he's mafia?
Mind finding us some posts where you voiced something of your own content that's excluding me? Something not (essentially) saying "I agree with this person" or asking questions.Well, after reading through KevinM's response and Kirby King's answer, I'm going to have to
Unvote
Vote KevinM
The main reason I'm voting him is that he was quite inconsistent on how scummy Eor was. He was unwilling to lynch him D1, but on D2, he backtracked and said he found Eor extremely scummy, without saying why. Your answer to that point was unsatisfactory in my opinion. A "good lynch candidate", should be someone you would be willing to lynch.
(As a side point, I agree that the town activity is incredibly pathetic. )
Nic.@Handorin: okay, so you don't want to talk about being gagged anymore. For now I'll oblige. Can you update us on your suspicions?
So, I have voiced things that aren't just repeating others.I had voiced my suspicions on all of them at one point or another... but if you need the recap, then...
*snipped the bit about Handorin*
Ignatius:
I'm waiting for him to answer my question at the moment. My primary problem with him is that in response to Kirby king's question (the one about would you vote for me if I had done a real daykill), is that he said he'd lynch me, not so much because he thought I'd be mafia, but because I'd be a danger to town, and because I'm incompetent. Even after Kirby king pointed out the flaws in this plan, he stuck to his answer. I'm still waiting for a response from him on WHY he thinks I'm incompetent.
Rockin:
Not too much to go on here, however, he was the only one (besides you) to vote me for my fake daykill, which was the second vote on me at the time. Perhaps it was an overreaction at my vote, however, someone (I think it was Tom), raised the possibility that he might have been trying to get his vote on early in case a bandwagon developed.
KevinM:
You've pretty much dropped out of recent discussion, however, back before my jokevote, you had voted MexicanBJ on no other grounds than "I think he's scum", and then expecting him to give you a response. You also voted me for my fake daykill, but as you're the one that I had aimed at, that is understandable.
So yeah, I have gotten the tells, and I have voiced them before. Don't accuse me of feigning activity.
I didn't even think about it. I got the first grenade PM at the same time I got my role PM, and I got my role PM before I read anything. It wasn't until night three that I was reminded of the grenades, after being blown up again.So xsy, why didn't you tell us about the bombs exploding D2?
If your assumptions pan out I think I'd agree with you, but I don't know if they're safe assumptions to make. I think there's a good chance that mafia silenced Rockin, since (like he said) he might have been targeted for his inactivity D1. But I still don't know whether Handorin is faking silenced (gagged) or not--he's been adamant that he was really gagged and that he's not faking it. It's also possible that, if he's not faking it, the "gagger" is town-aligned and he could still be mafia, since I still think Handorin would be a peculiar choice for mafia to gag. If Handorin says he was faking it I'll certainly want to know why he did that and why he persisted in his claim (although I agree that there'd be a pretty good chance he'd be independent, since I don't think it's productive town behavior to fake something like that).Also, I don't think Hando is mafia. Let's assume that it was Mafia who silenced Rockin and not a town/indy. Than if hando were mafia, he would have known that Rockin was silenced, and I don't see why he would then fake claim silenced. Also, like marshy said, almost everyone has voiced suspicions about him. I can see him being indy though.
If the only reason you don't think you're being roleblocked (despite the fact that you're claiming to be blocked from fulfilling your role) is the flavor is too intense, I think you're just taking the flavor too seriously. Maybe that's just me.I didn't even think about it. I got the first grenade PM at the same time I got my role PM, and I got my role PM before I read anything. It wasn't until night three that I was reminded of the grenades, after being blown up again.
Whoever it is though needs to realize it won't work on me. I still don't think it's a roleblocker. Grenades just seem a little excessive to simply block someone.
This, although I don't think they would have "targeted" one of their own. Just let them fake claim it. (If I were mod, I wouldn't let them self target anyways. *looks at Rockin* -_-)I don't think it makes him more or less suspicious. A silencer being mafia-aligned is the most likely. Even if that's true, its possible that the mafia might have targeted one of their own to make him look more townie. So, it doesn't change my level of suspicion.
I don't think it's flavor... I have a few pieces of information that I'm pretty sure keep me pretty safe. I'm mostly curious as to what'd happen if it happens to someone else.If the only reason you don't think you're being roleblocked (despite the fact that you're claiming to be blocked from fulfilling your role) is the flavor is too intense, I think you're just taking the flavor too seriously. Maybe that's just me.
Wait! Could you answer what Kiki asked you about Xsyven (below) first? I'd rather not have this thing lingering around for the next several days.Sorry, but I will be on vacation from the 18th. to the 22th so I will be gone from this game and Totally Normal Mafia for a while. I should be back home on the 22th and I will most likely post on the 22th saying that I'm back, have reread everything, blah blah blah.
Before it sounded like you wanted to hear him claim so you could confirm whether or not he was town. Can you confirm whether he's town if he claims first? Can you confirm whether he's town if he doesn't claim? (My concern is if it's like "I found Superman's cape," obviously Xsyven can just go "oh yeah I'm Superman".)
You know what you found and I don't, but if Xsyven turns out to be a serious lynch candidate today I'd rather have more assurance that he's town rather than less. At this point the safest thing to do seems to be to not reveal what you found, and if it comes down to it later in the Day, Xsyven nameclaims and you reveal what you found. Again, this is based on the assumption that he needs to claim first in order for you to verify that he's 100% town.
Why do you mention HP mafia? Don't virtually all games have "one time or multi use actions to use at night"? Serious question, because it sounds like you're saying there's a difference and I don't know what it is.It is my belief though that, like HP mafia, players likely have one time or multi use actions to use at night. Like, I had an ability to unroleblock someone once, but I'm pretty sure jungle was able to silence multiple times.
Alright, people keep bringing up Hando's silence. Personally I think he was brilliant in the way he went about it. First word, silence. 3rd Sentence first words. Need-less to say. Well, you can see an obvious thing here. Needless is spelled needless. Changing it to that way makes it appear as "Need less to say". Which I thought was very clever. Then he went on to his votes...Silence, stop having bad ideas.
I think it was a vig shooting JF and a mismason for mentos.
Need-less to say, we need to do better today
Three deaths I hope is not possible later
Vote: Handorin
Unvote: Handorin
KiKi was the only one who really caught onto his silence at first, but ruled it out quite quickly. I know he changed his opinion quickly. But I'd still like to hear why he ruled it out.You're obviously not silenced for the Day, so if you're trying to fake a post restriction it's really not convincing.
I ruled it out because, well, he wasn't being silent. Which one typically expects from one who's been, you know, silenced. The voting/unvoting he was doing sounded like the silenced people in HP Mafia, so I thought he was faking a silenced claim, conveniently forgetting that he had already said stuff. And after I quoted the post in which he said stuff I realized that he breadcrumbed a message that you actually seemed to miss:KiKi was the only one who really caught onto his silence at first, but ruled it out quite quickly. I know he changed his opinion quickly. But I'd still like to hear why he ruled it out.
Well, I had a hunch it was going to be Iggy who was "silenced" toDay specifically because it seemed to adhere so well to Iggy's strategy as mafia in these games. When one part of the theory was confirmed, I just naturally figured the other part was likely as well. It's certainly fallible.@Circus: why do you think it's "less likely" that mafia could be framing a town-aligned Iggy? Remember that Rockin suspected in his D2 post that someone was trying to take advantage of his early inactivity by silencing him. (I've got my own ideas, but I'm interested in your reasoning.)
It's the only recent game (to my knowledge) that has that type of flavor/mechanic to the game. Hellhouse might have, but I joined late in the game, and it was cancelled early. I believe all I had to do in that game was find someone, so I could be wrong.Why do you mention HP mafia? Don't virtually all games have "one time or multi use actions to use at night"? Serious question, because it sounds like you're saying there's a difference and I don't know what it is.
I'll take this for now.I mean, I could probably guess what you would ask me. And it would probably make things difficult but i'm pretty sure I can fend for myself.
