Oh yeah? And what if I'm a TRACKER. Do you even recognize the problem when what you said about a knee-jerk lynch? I know you do, because you advise openly against it in Samuel L Jackson mafia. Do you not recognize, especially considering other people openly have, why I kept my claim ambiguous as either a tracker/cop/ or watcher claim?And a traitor claim is pretty silly of you. Depending on Mac's flip, I still find you suspicious. Why would I send them after you if Mac flips innocent? The way I see it, if Mac is innocent, you're mafia or a lyncher. As a traitor I gain little from either pursuit.
So let me get this straight... You're not being a sheep by voting for the tracker claim you're suspicious of's potential mafia, just because you say you would want to lynch him if said potential flips town which is always a possible downside to the tracker role? I just don't see how you aren't being a sheep when you're voting with Tom anyway...My point is that you have more anti-town behavior than I do. All I've done is not be a sheep.
Why would you think that 3 mafia can be targeted to the kill? Usually it is only one person from mafia that makes the kill and only they should can be tracked/roleblocked for the kill. And I guess you are assuming there are only 3 mafia?You're right in assuming I thought about the possibility that I was outing a town power role when I claimed by results, because the odds are still greatly in my favor that I'm not misinterpreting anything. I am a tracker, and I tracked you last night to Marshy. Marshy died. While there is a jump in the information, as I'm not told you *killed* Marshy, the situation plays itself out like this:
Macman was tracked to Marshy. Would he be tracked to Marshy if he killed him? Yes.
Macman was tracked to Marshy. Would he be tracked to Marshy if he didn't kill him? Only if he was a town PR who chose Marshy at the same time that the killer(s) chose him.
So you see, if there are 3 mafia that can be tracked to the kill, and one PR who happens to target the same person that night, then I still have 75% odds that my result is mafia.
You said I was 'severely inactive' when I hadn't posted for 3 days. Also I never called it 1/5 days, i said not posting for 1.5 days doesn't seem inactive to me. Which is a very valid statement given that the day started 1.5 days ago.lol @ my being 'manipulative' for calling 6.5 days 7 when you called 6.5 days 1.5
When did I try to discredit Tom, and isn't that what you are supposed to do? I can't control what role is given to me. The 1.5 days argument is pretty much bull****. Tom just spun it in a way that made me seem scummy.Well I don't have enough time to make a huge post, but I'll try to get my thoughts out there:
Macman seems to be acting really scummy. Between the 1.5 days, the waiting til everyone is suspicious of him, and "I wasn't suspicious day 1" stuff, along with him trying to discredit Tom and the really strange role, I'm more than comfortable with voting on him now. Vote: Macman
Be back later with more maybe
I would only be able to tell who the SK is and who the person killing for Mafia is. And I doubt my action caused Marshy's kill seeing as how Marshy was the only person killed yesterday.Ok, after Macman's claim and having read Tom's explanation of why he was so vague+him actually claiming a specific role, I am sold on a Macman lynch. I agree we shouldn't do so now, but hold off a bit to keep discussion going.
The way Mac describes his role definitely helps this. He claims it only takes effect if he targets someone who is committing a kill. Now, that says 3 main things to me.
1. If this is really his role, and it is as he described, he is essentially an investigative doctor. With a tracker, and likely as Tom said, a watcher at the very least, this seems like a very strange role as he would be able to actually tell almost infallibly(minus hitting a shooting vig) that someone was an anti town role. It may be the case, but it's essentially a protective investigative vote-blocking role, which seems overpowered.
2. If it only takes effect on someone committing a kill, going from the flavor(I know, risky) it definitely took effect, and Marshy was a vanilla townie. Something doesn't add up.
3. This kind of role seems strange for the town anyway. A vote blocking role like this could potentially end the game a day early.(If there's a vig, let's say it's down to 4 townies, 2 scum. Vig shoots and is hit by the ability. Another person is killed. The votes are now 2-2 due to the effect, making it impossible for town to lynch when they absolutely have to, AND revealing the role of the vig so they can be shot avoiding their shot going through.)
.
I thought I made it clear that I targeted Marshy.Hey Macman, respond to this: who did you visit last night? Who did you punch? Because I've pointed out that I *know* you went to Marshy.
The punching matches the death flavor.I am Andy from Andy Punches.
I punch people just before they eat. Not only does it deprive them of food but it also gives them concussions.
I get to choose one person each night to punch and if they are targeting someone for a kill I stop the kill and cause them to lose their vote for the next day.
Not that I enjoy lurking so much, but I just got prodded and this is the only relevant comment so far to my cause this game, that being to lynch KevinM first, after he's scum lynch Pythag, change my mind about Ronike and then have to re-read this mess of an ego-fest to figure out which of you is number 3.Anyways, I thought I'd give my opinions on who I find scummy since I am going to die soon.
I pretty much agree with A6Mzero for some reason. I think pythag, KevinM and Ronike are mafia. I might write up a longer post about it, but not right now since I'm not in the mood too.
Stop being ridiculous, the day had only started 1.5 days ago. I never lied. And there would have only been 3 days where even had the ability to post in which I did not seeing as how there was a night phase in between. I never heard of anyone counting inactivity through night phases. And even if you did it does not measure out to severe inactivity like Tom said. The fact that you are using this reason for the basis of your vote on me is incredibly ********. This actually reminds me of conversation I had with tom about reasoning and logic vs psychology and manipulation.Ok, mac, you said you were inactive for 1.5 days. You hadn't posted in 7 or whatever, so as much as you want to say otherwise, you weren't active for 7 days and lied and tried to make it seem less. You don't lie without a reason, and a big reason to lie about being inactive is because you are scum. So it is scummy, don't say its not.
When did I ever try to make him reveal his role. And wtf is wrong with going through a bunch of possible situations. That's what you are supposed to do, try to figure out the motives behind why people did the things they did. Yet again another faulty reason for voting me.Looking back, discredit was the wrong word (wow am I failing the english language recently...) I really meant you tried to get him to reveal his role, which would allow you to create a role based on the claim as others have said. I think I said discredit because the way you went about doing it, at least the way you seemed to do it in my eyes, was to pose a bunch of situations wherein Tom's claim would be false or really stupid, but I don't really
know what I was thinking...
I am not suspicious because of anything A6M said. I'll write up a post about it later when I feel like getting my thoughts together.So... why are you suspicious of me? I don't even think A6 is suspicious of me like you said, though I could be wrong. I can't actually understand what he is saying anyways...
Good for youRegardless, my vote still stands on you. You've done nothing to alleviate your guilt in my eyes, and as others have pointed out, your role fits Marshy's death to the letter.
Pythag responds to Tom’s question about name claiming. Originally for it.I'm fine with that
Giraffatitan

Flip flops a few posts late, after KevinM expresses that he isn’t for itFor real, I actually dont want it to happen.
What we can see from this post is Ronikes RL johns and his argument for leaving his vote on Tomothy.Well, I've already wasted too much time tonite with escape rather than my finals, but I feel I have been lurking in this thread for too long, so I felt I owed it to share some of thoughts.
First off, I apologize for being so inactive, but like I said, I have finals next week, of which I am not prepared for, along with a project that was due today and another due tomorrow. Plus, I'm having some personal problems, but hopefully those will end with the school year.
[Other stuff]
Fourth, on the subject of Tom, he seems to be playing strangely to say the least. I early mentioned that he only opposes no lynch when he is mafia. I really was kidding, but if you look back, you will notice that pattern a bit IIRC. Then again, its not much to go off of, just thought it was worth mentioning in a non-joking manner. Then he pushes for a mass name claim, which I will touch on after this. Then we have a post where he defends himself from KevinM with a picture and the words "unhelpful", which really goes against his normal style of... I dunno, actually defending himself! Sure, he had a playful banter going with Kev in HP, but still man, come on... For those reasons, I feel fairly comfortable with my vote on him. I don't want him lynched, and yet if I have to disappear for a while, and taking into account the inactivity of this game thusfar, I'd like to leave my vote somewhere, and this seems as good a place as any.
Next (I've lost count and I'm too lazy to scroll up), the mass name claim. I'm fairly against it. I admit I don't know much about TLI besides the three or four songs I've heard, but from the little I know and the feelings others have expressed, a name claim won't do us much good except to reveal possibly strong roles, such as samburg and the like. Now granted, in a game like this, the main names aren't necessarily all that important rolewise, but why take the chance. So again, I'd rather not, but I have nothing to hide.
Pythag votes for Tom, knowing about the joke and also being the one to put him at -3.vote tomatocat
I'll show you unhelpful.
Baby Jesus, you are not.
Ronike unvotes quickly after Tom starts to respond, noting that is a joke. He however continues to push his argument even though he is no longer voting for Tom.Eh, w/e its a joke. So...
unvote: tom
As for my mistake, I did say I meant EE, but that doesnt make my point null. Plus I did say my reasoning was quite weak on the no lynch thing, but as far as I can remember, the games where you play as a mafia, you are against no lynch, but in HP you were for it. Its not a really big deal tho, so yeah.
At any rate, Im programming so I havent had much time to read carefully, which is why I got it wrong. 104 on the other hand had no reason to not read so far as I know, which is why I said it.
Well, hopefully Ill be back soon, definetely before the deadline (which I wasnt sure of before) so thats really why im taking my vote off.
Later Ronike makes the argument that Tom's behavior gives him a free pass to essentially lurk. Though a few posts earlier he said it was just a joke and was enough to convince himself to unvote for Tom. Though it is obvious he doesn't think it was "just a joke" if he made a post like this one. What it seems like here is that he just quickly moved away from a sinking ship, the Tom bandwagon, and gave a mediocre reason as to why he unvotes.Look, I realize that most of us aren't really contributing much right now, but what do you expect with finals imminent? At any rate, I realize they aren't contributing to discussion, but neither is a giant red x and the word unhelpful. At least pulling johns out can later be called out for inactivity, doing what you are doing is impossible to call out like that because you'll just say its a joke/impersonation, and thats why I have a problem with the baby jesus thing. Well besides that its annoying. It just gives you a free pass to essentially lurk. But fine, if thats what this mafia game is going to devolve to, and that will be accepted as a contributing post, I guess I won't be inactive anymore.
And you were the first person to be for it.My vote stands.
It's also bull**** to turn my vote on you into an entire OMGUS argument. Because that is ALL you have, especially on D1.
You were the first to suggest a nameclaim, which will really give the mafia an advantage in this the theme. Since any mafia could potentially be any person from lonely island, there's no way a name cliam would help.
ContinuesBecause FoS doesn't really mean jack, again, especially on day 1.
EE you could say that. I don't really like how defensive he got either, and then immediately continued the BJ joke. That may be me being pissed at him as a person more than a scum tell, but I feel between his defensiveness, the name claim, and his push to get the discussion off of him, is good enough to warrant a d1 lynch. IMO
Makes the exact same point as pythag regarding the nameclaim. Also gives his reasoning for why the BJ vote isn’t harmless which Tom said in his response to Pythag. So it seems as though he is coming to Pythags defense. I find it odd that he unvoted earlier noting that it was just a joke, but now that joke is actually harmful.I really shouldn't be doing this... I really should be studying... GOD**** YOU SMASHBOARDS AND YOUR DISTRACTIONS!!!
Well at any rate, though I realize the last post wasnt directed at me, I do feel I ought to make some points:
First off, just because mafia could be anyone doesn't mean power roles could be anything. In given the choice between killing Debra from Like a Boss or Andy Samberg from... well anything TLI really, I think the mafia will probably opt for the latter, and they will have a much better chance of hitting power role. On the other hand, given that no one can actually think of a scumish TLI role, we don't gain any extra info on who to lynch! Thats why I'm against it.
Oh, and the BJ joke is not harmless. It may be harmless if used on inactives, like last time, but by using it like you did against EE, its far then harmless. And just think, what if KK decides he likes BJ jokes and when he comes on, thats what he posts?
Oh, wow, I still have my vote on you Tom? Whoops...
unvote: tom Vote: Pythag
I don't get why he continues to go after you for BJ joke. I mean, I don't like it because I can see our mafia games spiraling downward because of it, but I don't think its scummish. And Toms right, being defensive isn't scummish, not when you have 5 votes, some of which are real and completely unbased.
Oh, ok. And, like I said in my post, it can be fairly harmless when someone smart uses it, but what if KK gets his hands on it? Plus, you used it to practically nullify EE's arguments, so theres a bit of harm.
Continues to argue against Tom even though he must know his reasoning is pretty weak. Reminds me of me in dinomafia against Marshy.And I say there is! In a game where you yourself are pushing for discussion, why on earth would you keep this going. PLUS if I say there is something wrong with it, I have provided the exact same amount of proof to the argument as you have. There's no right or wrong here, just opinions.
I've stated why my vote is on you. if we both agree that this is a D1 lynch, then how is your vote on my any more valid? D1 lynchs I always view as a "take what you can get".
If you would prefer, I can change my reasoning to "It's RL, DEAL." And give you absolutely nothing to talk about.
I agree.
Apparently Pythag was dealt the role of Spam_Master's gut.
unvote tom
I reread the thread, and really don't have any reason I should be voting for you. ::shrugs::
Would it have helped if I had done this earlier, sure. That's how it is though.
I just wanted to point out this is the first time I've seen KK think on his own. congratsVote Pythag
First you keep your vote on him then suddenly just a bit before the deadline you take it off tomcaat when you have defended it weakly
That seems very scummy to me
I blame the Santana DVX.for the love of god, please stop saying BJ. cause I'm thinking of ya wanting to blow job or something
Not really as scummy as it is just how he plays the game.On the other hand, when KevinM isn't engaged in a one on one conflict with anybody, he goes very quiet. Most of his contribution is in an argument with somebody else directly, with distinctly less constructive comments made to more general of the current situation.
You do realize that I was one of the hard opponents to Tom's claim at the start of today, right? In fact, I was probably one of the top two arguing against his claim, and continued to do so until I got an answer that was satisfactory. However, seeing as it's early in the game and I work full time, many times anything that I have to say has been said by the time I get a chance to get on, and I would rather say that I agree with the thoughts than just not post because it's already been said.mentosman - you play REMARKABLY safe. Whenever anyone posts something, you're very quick to agree. You don't make waves. You're very 'me too', and your wordage makes it seem like you feel somewhat in charge. Maybe you are to some degree, if the leaders like 'yes men' It's bothersome, because you appear to be on everyone's side when the crap hits the fan, and you slip by unnoticed. (that's potentially you could slilp by)
Lucky for you, I will be at event 52 and won't be back until sometime on Monday. It gives PRs plenty of time to send me in night actions.Oh yes, almost forgot
I'm gonna be in anime Boston starting tomorrow and won't be back till Sunday. I doubt they have a free (or cheap) internet access, but if they don't...well, you know why of my inactivity.
