I want to know why he was concerned about being scum in this game.

Also, I agree that Death Miller is a wretched role.
Looking at this and then Manua and tajo. I lean more on believe tajo right now. But juls back and forth about no flavor text to almost saying word for word what manu said is very disconcerning to me.Juls wrote:I am sufficiently convinced that Mana_ku is a miller. That would be an accurate paraphrase of what I got. I don't consider it to have much flavor. I didn't say I didn't have any flavor I said it was on par if not a little less than the sample townie role. It's very little flavor. Nothing to the extent of populartajo's though.
I got this explanation approved with FL: "I am a miller. Everyone is suspcious of me and I act suspciously at night. Cops will always see me as Mafia" I felt saying something about the doing stuff at night was too close to the actual to be "paraphrasing".
I think my problem with you saying this is that Manu was the first one to claim actual flavor text so you saying she should agree with you is poor reasoning.Juls wrote:To which reasoning do you refer?Mirth wrote:juls, as i said, it is not about the strategy you use, it is about the reasoning behind it
The reason I say Mana_ku should know I am telling the truth is because I know the language of the role and her paraphrase is almost identical. How would I know that if I didn't have the language myself? And I also know now based on Mana_ku's paraphrase that she is indeed a miller.
I seriously don't get this "worry" you have. Oh God! The stupid player is going to annoy me. Is that your worry? I don't want to get in a fight here but you are coming off as if it's not that you don't believe me but that you don't want to play with someone that isn't at your superior level of play.
For a minute pretend that you were a miller and you had planned to adopt a strategy of not seeming suspicious. What would you have done after tajo claimed?

At the time Penta's post where mostly one liners. I agree that Stef has been less then conversationaly lets say.Mana_Ku wrote:I mentioned Stef and Penta as Electra voted Penta based upon 'short posts which say nothing'. She did so after Juls pointed this out. However, in my opinion Penta has more information in his posts than Stef. Then I start wondering if Electra only followed Juls instead of doing the scumhunt herself.
But I also included the flavour thing as reason for my vote and her attack against Llama. However, she needs to give some comments about Llama's explanation before I'll give my opinion about this.
I started my read with my last post I saw llama attacks from my last post and the comments he made. I don't recall what you said to Juls but I will go back and look.Mirth wrote: second, farside, why criticize llama's attack of juls but not mine.
That makes no sense. One vote isn't going to pressure anyone or it shouldn't.@SG: I hoped to get some pressure-related response from you. I didn't. I wasn't counting on anyone else following me since that wasn't the purpose.

I think Post 102 is a bit harsh. Yes I don't like the newbie card however if Juls is telling the truth I could excuse her actions.Mirth wrote:so still no comments on me, farside
Llama's comments felt like a trap. There is a difference on how you ask questions and what you said to Juls.Mirth wrote:soooo why exactly are you attacking llama then
You stated that Juls should have had made a claim in her first post. I dont' see a problem with that. I did see tajo said this:Mirth wrote:he kept saying that my question was meant to imply juls should have claimed miller first post. reread that bit. hes implicitly accusing me of phrasing my question in a trapping manner. but i dont see why you think llama was setting a trap. i dont like the inconsistancy of judgement
I don't see it that way. Llama however mentions a difference between one post that Juls made and another and I can see where she thought both might be the same thing. Its something many a newb are confused about. That seems more of a trap move then your comment.There's something I dont like in that imposed question. Like it was bad to not to have claimed in her first post when it was pretty possible that it was the first time Juls had interacted with the miller role.
I read her answers and no matter what her answer to your last question it was a trap.LlamaFluff wrote:How so?farside22 wrote:Llama's comments felt like a trap.
I was pushing at what looked like what a contridiction to see if it was or wasnt. I could see it considered a trap in the form of "If she contridicts herself I vote her" but using that line of logic any form of questioning can be used to "trap" another player.
You two asked two difference questions. His was a comparision is a loss, loss situation for her. No answer will be sufficate in that case. You were being a bit of a jerk to her, but I felt you were trying to explain your reasons and she got a little emotional for really poor reasoning.Mirth wrote:which is why i'm thinking its suspicious how easily you write me off here.
[llama. for the record, i tend not to lay off the newbs just because they're newbs. i might be more tolerant of their mistakes personally and will probably explain my actions to a much greater degree, but i see no reason to treat them in a special manner because that isn't teaching them how to play the game by letting them get away with being scummy. then again, im just mean to everyone. farside can attest to this since she's neglected to mention that i've been like this in every game i've played with her.]
Putting this here as a reminder to get quotes tomorrow morning that shows a difference between Mirth and Llama questions.Mana_Ku wrote: It would also be great if Farside could show the difference she sees between Llama's and Mirth's attack against Juls.
How is this question a trap? Mirth wanted to know why Juls didn't post this first because of the claim by tajo. I see no harm in this question.Mirth wrote:
i agree that of the three claims, juls's is the most suspicious. also to bring up what cor said awhile back, it is theoretically possible for 2 scum to both claim miller, when one dies, the other is 'confirmed.' hmmm...
juls, you did not claim in your first post. why
tajo questions Mirth, but I don't see why.Mirth wrote:no. i am asking whypopulartajo wrote:Mirth, are you saying that Juls had to claim in his first post?shedid not claim inherfirst post.
I stated this myself, However I find Mirth to be a bit mean in her comments. Just because juls did state that there was no flavor then backed up when MK mentioned her text saying she didn't know that was the flavor text was. That's iffy reasoning in my view.Mirth wrote:it is possible it is jul's first time in a game with a miller, but what is unsettling for me is that when someone gets a weird role like that and theyve never seen it before, playing it blind is a bad move. it is the best idea to look into the dynamics of the role by either looking through the wiki, mafia discussion, or past games with it in it. juls just confirmed that she was not aware of the theory behind the miller role, thus she didnt do any of the above. i was unsure of this until she answered my question. i wanted her reasoning for not claiming, since lots of people do subscribe to the 'play it like a townie' school of thought, and i wanted to know if she was one of them or if there was something else going on there.
juls is the most suspicious one because she said she did not have flavour yet later backtracked to ditto mana's role. yet juls cannot know the exact wording of mana's role or if mana is leaving anything out [i think mana is, but i will not push this issue, and ask that no one else pushes it], yet she said that that was her role too. she cannot know this, and she did not specify for a while, despite questioning, whether she was normal or death. this rings major alarm bells for me. you are second most suspicious for the fact that you claimed death miller because of the very nature of the role itself. i think mana is the least suspicious of the three of you because of the order of the claim, but im not going to form any complete opinions on any of you for the time being.
Once again I agree with this. MK stated her role and the text first. How would MK know that Juls is telling the truth?Mirth wrote:juls, as i said, it is not about the strategy you use, it is about the reasoning behind it. and you continue to worry me by saying that should know you're telling the truth. there is only one way for mana to know whether you're definately lying or not, and if mana is telling the truth, then mana can't know if you are.
First question is legit. Why one person over the other.LlamaFluff wrote:[
@Juls - Why not someone like stef or MK if you are looking for a lurker lynch? Why even a lurker lynch since it only "could" be a scum tell?
Juls stated between the 3 lurkers. Mk she believe and step stated he was on V/LA.LlamaFluff wrote:So it was a pressure vote and not a vote with lynch intention?
I think there was no right answer at this point and it is in fact a trap question. No answers is going to be the correct answer. I can see where she thought both reason's were valid.LlamaFluff wrote:Really?Juls wrote:Like I said, there isn't much to go on yet so yes it was more of a pressure vote than a lynch vote.
Dont see that as pressure vote reasonsJuls wrote:I think that he is the best place to put my vote at the moment. It's not a lot to go on but it's more than I have seen from anyone else. I think lurking can be a scumtell especially early in a game. It could come from two reasons 1) not being able to formulate a "fake" argument against someone or 2) trying not to be seen.
I would say add the rule about linking ongoing games as part of the rules and give Electa a warning that you feel works. Not that any player should ever, ever talk about ongoing games, but since it wasn't in the rules.....I don't know I will just leave it up to you in the end.forbiddanlight wrote:*Sigh* Electra, you have broken rule number 2 for jackassery by not only linking 2 ongoing games...but an ongoing game that I'm PLAYING with you. I mean, seriously. Deciding on a course of action right now. Suffice it to say I'm removing her links.
I hope no one else does these things, since I really don't need to have the ongoing games rule broken.
I understand. I'm one of those mod's that really don't like to mod kill unless necessary and find ways to figure what is best to do. I got the impression from your post you feel the same way.forbiddanlight wrote:farside22 wrote:I would say add the rule about linking ongoing games as part of the rules and give Electa a warning that you feel works.

I hope no one else does these things, since I really don't need to have the ongoing games rule broken.It's a site wide rule. It's not something you should have to put in your boilerplate. Also, it does fall under jackassery since you are breaking a site wide rule, I would think. I'll probably lean towards a warning but I'm consulting with nonny to see what the best move would be. Not used to having a rule broken
I was wondering if I was the only one who saw it that way. Like I said there was no right answer for Juls to give, hence a trap question at the end.Electra wrote:not a miller
What was the point of this, I'm pretty sure all the millers claimed. :p
The point is, he asked if it was a pressure vote or a vote with lynch intention. She responded with it's a pressure vote, and he said that it doesn't sound like a pressure vote to him (which I disagree). If she responded a vote with lynch intention, then his response could be, why would you vote with lynch intention when you said there wasn't much to go on?Mirth wrote:Farside, I'm still not seeing that as a trap. Looks more like pressuring the babbling/overdefensive newbie to me. So I still fail to see the issue.
Does this mean you believe Juls/SG? What about Crazy did it seem he hinted at have a miller role?Corvuus wrote:I am not a miller.
I also think all millers had already claimed in this thriller.
When asked he has yet to state anything in regards to this post.Crazy wrote:2 claims means someone is likely lying.
3 (or 4, *cough*) claims means mod's a bastard.
It's most likely that none of them are lying. If any one of them is, it's Juls.
See, Mana_Ku wouldn't claim at that point as scum in any universe. If two town players just counter-claimed each other, and you're scum, think, do you have any desire to counterclaim them? When the attention is completely off of you?
I have some reason for trusting Tajo here, but trust me in that it's best I don't explain further yet.
Unvote, Vote Electra
Electra, as you said in #76, why do you believe MK's counter-claim is likely to be a scum gambit?
I don't get it either. What do you expect the person who will have to replace will be able to really say?populartajo wrote:This game isnt hard, farside. Three/four millers are indeed new but they dont make the game difficult at all. I bet that I catched him lurking (since he was posting in his other games) and couldnt come out with a good post after it.
Just commenting that I dislike people using ongoing games in any manner and expecting others to just understand. Each game should be treated different because no one knows each others alignment except scum.populartajo wrote:People you have to start diferentiating between buddying up and being friendly.
I suggest mish mash games if you want friends. Not mafia games.populartajo wrote:Aww, farside. Let me make some friends. /sad face.
Why MK was the first one to talk about the flavor text? Juls stated hers read the same way and believed MK.populartajo wrote:I think that the existence of massive millers proves that I am a miller.
And of all the actual and possible posterior miller claims, Juls/Shadowgirl's is the one I most believe.
I just don't get this. We don't know if there is a death miller. If tajo is scum. I would rather look at scummy actions then push for an unknown. I don't care for how you automatically feel tajo is scum based on his claim more then his play.SlySly wrote:So you think it is better to mislynch a townie, which is a possibility, than to lynch populartajo, who will for sure flip scum?Mirth wrote:its really not at all helpful for just everyone to agree to policy lynch him because that would be a complete waste of day 1 information-wise, as argument would be limited to that. it would cut off all other lines of inquiry for the day, pretty much, and result in a lynch where instead of a real argument about his play, it would result in finger pointing on wagon positions based on an unknown.
QFT.populartajo wrote:Sly is amazing how you cant make a case on someone besides me. On 20 pages. There arent other suspects in your book other than me. The worst thing is that your case is incredibly weak. This further proves my theory that you didnt reread the game looking for scumtells, that you only looked for the easiest to lynch and and that you are pushing this because backtracking in this exact moment would be worse.
What?!?!SlySly wrote:You are wrong. Lynching tajo guarantees that we lynch someone who will flip scum.Mirth wrote: there is no guarantee day 1 [or really any other day].
His lynch will tell us plenty. We won't have to wonder for even 1 second if tajo is responsible for any scummy night actions.Mirth wrote: you're purposing an impossible scenario that effectively gluing any and all discussion to tajo, who's lynch will tell us nothing.
I saw Stef playing another game, so it is questionable when he picks and chooses games that he stays in and leaves no matter the reason. It looks bad especially with his weak reason when he ask for replacement. No where did he state "RL issues require replacement" He stated he was confused after being prodded by tajo for answers.Mirth wrote:tajo, regardless of how much sly's 'case' on you sucks, your 'case' on stef sucks just as much and it bothers me that you keep bringing it up. stef was seriously having rl issues with timingand he was playing triage. this is not a tell of anything. you insisting that it is bothers me a lot.
this sounds like you are not going to share you thoughts. I see later you bring up the lurkers. So what it either lurkers are tajo? Nothing else noted.If I am lynched today, the thoughts of mine that you seek will die with me. Unless, of course, someone else mentions some of the things I have noticed about a few others, at which point I will join the discussion.
The problem with this is either tajo is scum or town. I'm trying not to do the whole WIFOM on this. However if tajo looks scummy I will vote for his lynch. I'm not going to be swayed by policy or this flip no information either way. Scum is scum enough said.Lets say we do lynch him, what does that accomplish? Maybe some role gets lucky, who knows. Most likely though we just get screwed over with scum taking thier pick of night kills to suit them best. Then what? We have nothing to go on day one. We lynched a "who knows?" role. There are no connections to go on, no leads that couldnt of been used the previous day. We are basically at D1 again, with one dead, and not knowing if tajo was scum or not. We will have no clue when lylo is, we will have no clue if connection there are helpful, we are just at a dead end.
Lets not assume or point out things like this hmm. Looks scummy to try and direct power roles.hat do you mean "not having doubt his alignment"? You doubt everyones alignment. Miller, vanilla, PR, you never know untill they flip. With tajo we wont even know then, someone tracking or something to that extent is the only way to ever prove his alignment as scum.
Who said you claimed? Why did you not claim in this post?SlySly wrote:No other case presented comes even close to a guaranteed scum flipping lynch.Mirth wrote:my problems with sly lie more with his certainty that any other lynch than tajo will be a mislynch not his not the rest of his nonsense.

Everyone calling for my claim now? According to several, I have already claimed. I pointed out earlier that I had not claimed, I guess others are finally realizing that I didn't.
1. I asked because I didnt' find anything were people stated you claimed already. I don't see asking a question where I don't see what you are claiming = scummy. Your lack of anwsers are scummy to me.SlySly wrote:-
