Hi guys!
Cello, i don't understand why someone's who's town would have to constantly remove bits about themselves.

What other half?And the other half?
This is slightly wrong. I will stump myself when I feel my unrevealed alignment is no longer useful to me.Pierre said:I still don't understand why you insist that there must be three people lined up to be stumped "by the will of the town" (Majority?) before you will stump yourself. What does there being 3 lumberjacks have to do with that?
I don't really care what impression you were under. I can only stump once, and that's the worst that will happen to me. In the meantime, I'll be information gathering.Pierre said:Instead of weaseling your way out, why don't you ask HeatStroke right now what he wants you to do - because all of us were under the impression that if he stumped you would.
That second point. What? How is that decisive at all? Assuming that I'm scum, then that sentiment could just be bussing. Since he's been inactive, that's a suitable line of attack against him later once I've flipped (remember, since this theoretical scenario assumes I'm scum, I'd be dead or lack all credibility to defend him). If I'm town, you can just use the "scum piggybacking me" point. Once again, even here, you're casting doubt and suspicion on Omis without claiming responsibility for it.Pierre said:The reason why I'm not willing to say "Omis stump yourself" is because he is conflicting and I don't know if he is scum piggybacking you. Especially considering that he agrees with you on every point but also wants you to stump yourself, I am hesitant. That is understandable.
I explained this. It was basically me just acting superior. So, I was going to take it out. Besides, you don't need to worry about whether or not I'm town, just whether or not my points make sense. I'm either going to be getting myself lynched, or I'll stump myself before it becomes an issue.Heatstroke said:Cello, i don't understand why someone's who's town would have to constantly remove bits about themselves.
Of my points. If you knew I was town, would they be enough to convince you to support having Brockin stump himself? If not, I need to start looking for support elsewhere or find something else to convince you. What would convince, anyway?Paprika said:What other half?
can you rephrase this please?cello said:"That second point. What? How is that decisive at all? Assuming that I'm scum, then that sentiment could just be bussing.

This guy's sounding pretty legit right now.actually stumping yourself and then building that case (not the same points) would help. then at least I would know you're purely doing it in the name of hanging scum instead of making sure people die.
I also still don't like the way you're ducking the deal you made about heat stumping.
This being the case, just pretend that you believe I'm doing this to hang scum. When I flip, you'll know I was being sincere. If you're worried I'm just doing this to waste time, that's all the more reason to hurry along.Paprika said:actually stumping yourself and then building that case (not the same points) would help. then at least I would know you're purely doing it in the name of hanging scum instead of making sure people die.
Brockin, Pierre, SSBF.Paprika said:Cello, what is your current suspect list?
Did you mean the actual 24-hour day? If so, I'm sorry to say I will not, at least until Nick has caught up and we've chatted. On that note:Mentos said:...although I do want him to stump by the end of the day...
Yes, although we should have at least 2 people other than myself lined up as well. We have close to two weeks left, thanks to Heat's noble sacrifice, so we should use it. When I stump myself, we'll have yet another week too.Mentos said:@Cello: If we pinned scum, and were going through with an actual lynch, would you stump yourself prior to completion of the lynch/day?
No, you're leaning towards trusting him is what you said. Leaning towards trusting him when immediately after my stump he decided not to stump until he has three more people. That's sneaky as hell first off. Second, you shouldn't be trusting someone when they can't even keep a deal to their own town, he lied.Actually, if you read the whole thing, the fact that he didn't immediately stump has hurt my view of him. I never said the fact that he hasn't is pro-town whatsoever. Please don't make accusations that don't add up to what people say as a clear, it doesn't end well. Also, to further explain, the reason I'm willing to not push for immediate stumping, is that I can see benefit behind Cello's role staying ambiguous for a while, just as he and Marshy have said. He NEEDS to stump for sure, but there are benefits to be had by delaying it a bit, and, assuming he's actually town, eventually clearing himself.
Eh, I can see your point there. As I said, the not-immediate stumping has hurt my read of Cello a lot, but given the potential benefits of staying un-stumped, I'm willing to grant benefit of the doubt for one of my best reads. Obviously, if he refuses to do so today, I will have to assume he is scum, but I think a grace period is beneficial enough that I can trust him to do what he said he would by the end of the day.No, you're leaning towards trusting him is what you said.

First of all, ninja'd by Cello, second of all, I have NEVER said Cello is clear. In fact, many times, I have said that if he doesn't stump by the end of the day, he will be very fair game to lynch. There's some scumminess around him, and if he turns out to have been straight up lying I WILL be voting him. That question I asked him? There so that if the situation I described arises and he DOESN'T self stump, he has no way to try to weasel out of it if he's scum. I now have a clear statement that he has guaranteed to stump by the end of the day, and he has said he will do it before the end of the day if his situation arises. Either way, if it doesn't happen in one of the two scenarios, he's scum and will be lynched. Why destroy potential(and imo likely) benefit when we have him clearly in position where if he is scum, he is caught?So, metagaming = him being clear.
okay.
Nope.Will you stump yourself if Cello stumps himself?
I know that I'm town, but as far as Cello, I have no idea. Like I've said constantly before, I don't see anything truly scummy, but I also havn't seen him done anything town either. He seems to just either want his way or no way (something that I remember seeing in one of his rules >>)I think his entire play right now has been pretty pro town. I don't see scum doing what Cello is doing and making stump deals. I'm pretty sure Cello will be forced to stump himself if he continues and I don't think he cares too much. Unless Cello is going for "let's get town all confused and get as many townies to stomp themselves and then force them to lynch me" and then in that case, it's pretty **** ballsy and I like it(and at worse, right now it'll be 2 townies for 1 scum) so Brockin, are you saying you're both town? or that you're town and Cello's scum. because right now, I can't really see it being that bad if Cello stumps as it'll clear up all the 'bleh Cello could be scum' stuff flying around. Worst case is you're town and we have 3 stumped townies. We know we also have all these reactions to Cello and we can mad scum hunt from there :D
Okay, fine. Understood.the point of posting logs was that WE could see it and judge for ourselves
Yeah, could be a sign alright. >>;;also if your cautiousness led to you failing to help town then thats probably a sign that you should reconsider your approach. can you just admit youre wrong? yeesh
First of all, I want to clarify that my better half may have misread/passed the rule 25 thing (where I have just misread the '#,' to wich I thought of what I thought about ALL of the rules. Second, you wasn't the main subject of the topic (infact, no one was). All we did was spoke of you and your first post, swords asking me to catch up with the game and tell me my opinion (to which I said I don't have much of a read of anyone at the time), and I think he said something about Sworddancer (I can't remember for the life of me ><;; ).Assault against Brockin
1) They both ignored post #25, in which I corrected my typo in post #6 about "Rule #". While normally this would be inconsequential (maybe), they later claim that they spoke primarily about me in their private communications (by which point I had become a fairly focal point). If I was, in fact, the main subject in their private logs, then how did they both manage to miss my correction?
Oh, but wait. What did Rockin say in post #28? "Also, want to say that we can't post our logs". I was the only person that said anything about posting logs, in a question to Macman. This was in post #25, the same post in which I corrected myself. How did they miss my correction, which was clearly directed at them, yet see the question about log posting? Also, why was it so important to them that they wanted to try to strike it down, even at that early stage?
Right now, it's about the only thing I can play. If I had more of a feel of the game and see the benefits and non-benefits of said style of system, I would be more versitile, probably.2) Brockin has stated many times that he wants to play this game in a more traditional way. However, business as usual is a terrible idea. Why is he so worried about "overstumping"? The alternative is to allow the scum team to gain more Night Kills. While it is a bad idea to ignore such information, there is no reason to give the enemy control over our information gathering when we literally have full and perfect control. It's sort of like Tom's Popcorn scum play, citing traditional methods as tried and true, as well as trying to appear wise by being "cautious", but there is no benefit to this.
Simple, because of what you would do if either us/Brockin, Pierre, or Heatstroke, then that you would stump yourself. Seeing Heatstroke stump, but not fufilling your end is making you both scummy and me not trusting your words.3) "SSBF is...meh. I'm seeing neutral, but slightly town (Only cause he seems to be trying)", yet you have no opinion on me? You've actually said that you aren't getting any scummy vibes from me. Yet you want me to stump myself? Why?
And what's the alternative? Night? Where a townie will die? That's a loss of a vote too. I'd rather lose a person's vote and find a scum in the resultant 7 days instead of losing that person's voice as well as their vote for 8 days (the next Day). Especially ironic that you chastise Summoner when later on in the same post you say4) "I pick Omis cause he barely talked about how he feels with everyone as well as share some insight. All he's doing is just mainly grilling me about the logs." Yet, all you've done is try to defend your decision to not post your logs. Heck, you even said, "I would love to speak more if Cello wasn't mad at me for not posting the logs (same ones that Mod said we can't)." You declared your intent to essentially remain silent as long as I continued to berate you.
I considered that. That was one of the reasons I initially said 3 others, but I realize people will be eager for my flip, so two is good enough to start. That'll also be a good time to remind people of Cello-Rule #5 (summed up, don't vote on X+2/X, where X = number of alive lumberjacks).Mentos said:On another note, Cello, make sure you remember numbers when it comes to when you plan to self stump. I thought about the numbers, and it's currently 8-3. If you wait for two others to be stumped first, and I'm right you're town, we're thrust into mylo when you do so. Just make sure to keep that in the back of your mind as things progress.
Wow. Generally, people have a reason as to why they do what they do, instead of trying to dig up a reason after the fact.I was trying to be reasonable as to why I didn't want the logs posted
It's certainly enough for me. It's apparently not enough for everyone else, so I do what I must. Sidenote to Omis: If I had been revealed, this comment could not have been made.The fact that your last list said that 'Brocken is scummy cause of the logs. That's more then enough,' so why are you NOW trying to provide more then just the logs?
They are both V/LA for the weekend. It's posted back to back in the V/LA thread, or Social I don't remember.I also want to remind everyone that 'The man' hasn't posted yet (I know Ryker is at a tourny today. I dunno where Xonar is at)
Remember, I work in the midnight shift from 11PM to 7 AM, and this morning I came back at about 9/10 AM, to which I posted. After the post, I went back to sleep and woke up at 6 PM. Tired man was tired ><;;@Brockin, why didn't you respond to Mentos earlier?

I thought Today was still in the game. To be honest, I was actually confused. I heard that he was getting a replacement, yet none of his posts detereminded that he did. It was mainly confusion and I will admit, it wasn't useful at all.Mentos said:@SSBF: Cello already mentioned this but I want to reiterate it. You knew I was replacing Today, yet you immediately followed casting suspicion on this playerslot by pointing to Today. Why did you find this relevant at the time? Do you think it is truly a useful thing to point out?
This is a sample log from a previous game I played in. The total length of this segment is only ten minutes, and is only about 3~4% of the total log, and is spread over the course of 5 days (not counting days in which we did not speak) and two in game Days. Extrapolating that, Brockin would have to produce about 12~17 times the amount of text here to fake a log. On multiple occasions, various people have told Brockin that we would be more inclined to believe them if they just posted their logs, and explained why. They flat out refused, giving feeble excuses, when they deigned to at all. They didn't even say that they wanted to see if Macman would permit it.KevinMorrissey12 (2:04:39 AM): I'd like to experiment a lot and thats something mafia has never done.
KevinMorrissey12 (2:04:43 AM): so it would be funny but I understand as well
CelloMarl (2:05:00 AM): hmm
CelloMarl (2:05:03 AM): if we did this
CelloMarl (2:05:09 AM): it would be Newbie 3 all over again
CelloMarl (2:05:16 AM): but with Ryker as Eric
CelloMarl (2:05:29 AM): if you want to chance our victory on his shoulders, I'll go for it
CelloMarl (2:05:46 AM): ugh, and I'm Delvro
CelloMarl (2:05:48 AM): ...
CelloMarl (2:05:49 AM): ...
CelloMarl (2:05:52 AM): ah well
KevinMorrissey12 (2:05:59 AM): Haha, Ryker's got itt
CelloMarl (2:06:03 AM): kewl
CelloMarl (2:08:44 AM): i know
CelloMarl (2:08:51 AM): i'll post Delvro's confession
CelloMarl (2:08:58 AM): but change the names
KevinMorrissey12 (2:09:07 AM): lol only problem is didn't Tom mod that game?
CelloMarl (2:09:13 AM): marshy did
KevinMorrissey12 (2:09:29 AM): hmm, idk how I feel about it but I'm starting to just think you ****ed with them enough, up to you though
CelloMarl (2:09:35 AM): hmm
CelloMarl (2:09:39 AM): cold feet~
CelloMarl (2:09:50 AM): i think i need to convince by though
KevinMorrissey12 (2:09:50 AM): You know why to
KevinMorrissey12 (2:10:07 AM): its sad, I just feel like I should try 100 percent since I love Marshy so much even though I really want to try it
CelloMarl (2:10:29 AM): how is something new not 100%?
CelloMarl (2:12:16 AM): i think i'll hold off
KevinMorrissey12 (2:13:52 AM): Idk.
KevinMorrissey12 (2:13:57 AM): oh btw
CelloMarl (2:14:01 AM): hai?
KevinMorrissey12 (2:14:05 AM): I just won the BRoom game as SK
KevinMorrissey12 (2:14:06 AM): haha
CelloMarl (2:14:10 AM): sweet
CelloMarl (2:14:32 AM): how often do those get brought out to DGames?
KevinMorrissey12 (2:14:37 AM): They usually always do.
Actually, I was talking about how you were replying to this thread about an hour ago, then signed off, then replied later.Remember, I work in the midnight shift from 11PM to 7 AM, and this morning I came back at about 9/10 AM, to which I posted. After the post, I went back to sleep and woke up at 6 PM. Tired man was tired ><;;
Probably because I used the tab that was on smashboards and replaced it with a different website. I do that sometimes on Firefox.Actually, I was talking about how you were replying to this thread about an hour ago, then signed off, then replied later.
^THIS! He took the words right out of our mouth. Anyways, sorry me, the better half of the hydra have been busy all this time.Pierre said:If Cello is scum and Omis is town, then Omis is being lazy and piggybacking on you and he needs to be called out on it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but he HAS NOT YET ADDRESSED this after I asked him about it.) If Cello is town and Omis is scum, he is agreeing with everything you do because you are wrong about Brockin as well. If you're both scum, then there's little communication between the two of you, he's piggybacking and you're bussing and I'm getting at least something right, and if you're both town then I'm just picking up on his bad play and you and I disagree on Brockin (and me and you).
The fact that he is following every word you say (agrees with you on every point) but also thinks that you should off yourself is strange because if he agrees with your actions then you aren't detrimental to his motives. I know you can see that.
