A few thoughts as i read through
I see where armix is going on zim.. I need to tumble it about my head for a bit though it could be a planned soft tell. For now I have to agree though he (zim) probably isn't the best pick today.
Unlikely, getting a rise out of me is next to impossible.Darox wrote:I had no intention of getting Qman even as far as -2, I wanted to see if I could get a rise out of him and spark some discussion.

as i read through again, I'll answer this up to this point.caf19 wrote: Also, Qman isn't saying much. Probably hypocritical of me to point that out, but hey, I'm posting more from now on. Got anything to say, Q?
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with brandi/armix. I'm leaning to thinking that Brandi is being upfront. Armix's play to this point (your post) is really sketchy to me. He hasn't been really pro-town in his play as far as mike-zim is concerned.

You know, at the end of page 3, I heavily suspect armix of being a little hinky. There was NO reason to say what he did, when he did, about mike-zim's tell, but he said it anyways. I don't think armix is a bad enough player to make that sort of mistake, as he had to know he'd get hammered about his vague statement, if not by the IC's that also saw it, then the new players that didn't. I'm wondering if he's just trying to buddy up to the town faction as a whole so he can say "i told you so" later on.

Page 4 thoughts:
@Bazza- fence sitting, while annoying, does come from some pro town people. New ones more oft than now.
@darox as of now, armix is my top suspect, because he was either intentionally calling out mike's tell, (which truth be told i missed my first read through) or well... that's about it really. I don't think armix is capable of being that careless. I'd have to say I think Brandi is probably town, though i could see armix-brandi scum distancing early. Otherwise I like ca19s postings so far.
It's also possible mike and (insert name here) are scum and the partner or mike decided to play the tell he has played. I'm not ruling out anything at this point.One Hamster to rule them all!

I've got to agree with this post too, I was going to mention it later but... seriously, telling us who we should lynch in the next couple days is A.) Foolish bad town play, and B.) a well known scum tell.clammy wrote:

Reason being, theres two likely reasons why he is doing this, and one of them involves them both being scum.
Cannot believe this was missed! All of the following conversation, the words (oh the words! - oh my eyes!) together do not equate to anything compared to this comment.
It's logical, oh yes, but Darox, let me guess this straight, you want to determine who our D2 and D3 lynches are on page 4??
*facepalm*
unvote; vote: darox
If we mislynch today here is how the "Armix then mike" plan works.
D1 mislynch, NK
5 town 2 scum

3 town 2 scum after a nk and the mislynch.
Keep pushing that mike lynch, if he's town we lose.

Do you think armix had any valid and clear reason to intimate what he did about mike when he did? I don't think it was needed and as I've said before, I don't think armix would be that casual or careless about doing so.angelmouse wrote:Firstly
armlx-Mike thing.
Now i got very early on at what armlx was hinting at and i think the matter should have been left alone from there. Those that forced armlx's hand, so to speak, are those that i feel are much more suspicious at the moment than either of these two. Mike was over eager, something that happens in many newbie games, and is a complete null tell on the scum front. If armlx and mike are scum partners then linking themselves on page 2 is extremely dangerous play something i know armlx wouldn't do. The only possible avenue i can see that links either one as scum is armlx since he could be pairing himself up with mike so if he dies and is confirmed town armlx looks more town, but I don't believe this at this point. Further time and that might change, but I don't find armlx overly scummy just now. I also don't find mike scummy at the moment at all, just a complete novice finding his feet. Those that forced this issue between them should be looked at in more detail.One Hamster to rule them all!

I'm still working the whole game over but my basic thoughts are up right now.
I'm not sure about Armix, he'd probably be #2 on my list.
For now I'm going tovote Bazza-scumfinderfor the appealing of "you'll regret it i'm town! I promise!" That statement (or it's like) I consider strongly anti town statements to make.One Hamster to rule them all!

@Brandi, you guys (Without me!!) are putting up over a page a day on average, as much as I wish I had the free time every day to keep up I don't rigfht now. I'm both sick, and am busy gettting my wedding details finalized. Busy I am.
While getting itchy that i have posted in the last 2 days while understandable, is also a little annoying for me, I'm not trying to not post but you people are post machines.
It also is part of why i multi post alot. that and alt tabbing with notepad is just aggravating. but if you wish me to do bigger posts, in a lesser number i can do that. my quick posts and the sheer number comes as i catch up in games.

I've got a fistfull of notes made over 8 pages of paper (daaamn i didn't think it'd take that much!) Now to compile it. this might not get up until tomorrow. I hadn't noticed just how far back I was.

The above was supposed to state 86 pages of paper.
I'm going to post the short short version for now addressing Bazza and to a minor degree armix. I'll finish sorting my notes while I'm on the road tomorrow (It's my wife to be's birthday, we'll be driving around for 4 hours).
The above is my current alignment list for this game that I have stickied to my monitor.Players:
Darox - pt
caf19 - t
Bazza - s
clammy - t
mike - pt
Brandi - t
armix - s
angel - n
t = townie
pt = prohibitive townie
n = no solid read (also known as prohibitive lurker scum)
s = scum
@Bazza --- wow man.
There are 337 posts in the thread. 74 are yours. I've got "Bullshit" or "BAD POST" on half your posts. 34 actually but who's counting. You are being irrational and screaming at people to accept your arguments at face value. You say you discredit attacks against you... but I certainly don't think you have, and I hate to break this to you.. you saying you discredited something doesn't make it so.
You then say (I'm paraphrasing a dozen posts here) Armix is scum. There is no way he isn't. Several times you say 100% sure. IF you are town, you can't be 100% sure. Period. This is an irrefutable fact. You also have no "solid proof" as you refer to in post 235. I can also promise you than none of your kicking and screaming will cause me to focus on armix. more than i would otherwise. After/if you get lynched today he's already lined up in my number 2 slot for his mike link.
You also say (to clammy i think)
I hear a phone ringing kettle, I think pot is calling you.Bazza wrote: your views have been totally tunnel-visioned
You have serious OMGUS issues. You have serious WIFOM issues. You have serious issues with Appealing to Emotion to much.
You are a tad prideful... if you like. You keep saying you are playing well, but you aren't... If you are town, you will probably be lynched D1. That doesn't make you a good townie. It's poor play. Period. If you are scum and get lynched, it's pretty obvious thats bad play. You screaming you are playing well doesn't work and is just distracting noise. Saying something is true =/= it being true.
Bub, I hate to tell you this, but that doesn't help you at all, a scum partner would have to be an all time moron to get between you and your imploding play.Bazza wrote: The reason there is no defense of me is because i have NO mafia partner.
You also get personally offensive and insult people who don't agree with you, or think you are scum. This isn't a good way to not get lynched, or to make friends. It reads as flailing scum that is trying to find a way out. It also makes you look immature. At one point you said
the comment I wrote right above that on my paper? "So am I, you'll shut up. " That's word for word. You aren't defending yourself you are flailing and drowning. Even if you are town,Bazza wrote:I'm kinda looking forward to my death nowI feel the town is better off with you dead than alive, due to your play.This is normally an attitude I storngly disagree with, but you are proving the exception to the rule.
There are valid cases posted against you,regardless of if you think they are valid.
The only two people I'd vote for as things stand are Bazza and Armix. I have serious problems with Armix' early play which I'll dive into at a later point. I need to decide if I want do that today or tomorrow.
The sad part is, my instinct is telling me that I'd rather see Armix lynched today, but my head and reason tell me it should be you.
vote Bazza
I'm sorry man but if you are town, you played very poorly, you've flip flopped and flailed to the point were all you are is a distraction which will only hurt the town. Plus your death will give us loads of info to work off of, one way or the other.One Hamster to rule them all!

Frankly i'm aware of how bad it looks to say that. Basiclly Bazza's raving at the point i said that was keeping me form getting a good read on everyone else, sans armix. The clutter he was throwing up both screwed with my reads, and was pretty frustrating. That said he's not quite as bad now. I've also been rethinking my thought that we'd learn alot off his lynch. We probably wouldn't learn much of anything, in fact, as everyone has just pushed the same track.
I'd love to lynch Bazza for mypersonalcomfort level. That doesn't realy translate to wanting his lynched for the good of the game, hence my vote, unvote, vote, unvote. I'm not sure where i stand and I suspect I'm just not seeing through the clutter.
Armix on the other hand as I've said before, has alot to answer for and he's still my preferred "gut" lynch, I really can't reconcile his comments about mike zim with even half good IC play, as there was no reason for the comment. I spent a bit brainstorm and I'd have to agree with you, it reads as a possible leading of a scum buddy and if in fact that is true I highly suspect we have a Mafia Roleblocker that is not Armix, who'd probably be a standard goon pointing the RB in case of his lynch.
The above is of course, pure speculation. It could just be directing a night kill in case of lynch. The one thing I do know is he painted a HUGE target on mike's back.
I'll go with my gut feel for now andvote: armixOne Hamster to rule them all!

This may be totally screwed up of me, but the length on N1 makes me suspect Brandi who can't get on very much, It also heavily implicates (wifom) those on armlx's wagon and case yesterday/

2.) It is screwed up to suspect people based on night length, a good mod will wait a set amount of time no matter what to post the night scene. For all we know the mafia could have sent in a kill the same day (real time) Baza was lynched.
3.) Frankly, thats shoddy wifom as the two people who were on the chopping block were both town. Armix was on the chopping block for a boneheaded comment about mike zim (read: you). He deserved that pressure for what he said at the very least.
I on the other hand have you on the top of my list. Mike came off to me as waffling scum, being non committal trying to float in the middle of the river. Your ... interesting.. comment on the doc death ain't helpin you either.One Hamster to rule them all!

I really expected Armix to still be alive today, doc or not. He'd look REALLY bad if he didn't die. there's a bit of wifom there, but whatever.Brandi wrote:Darla, the deadline for a kill was 9PM EST, and I wasn't even home from Florida till midnight. Even if I WERE Mafia, someone else would have had to send in the kill, not me, because I wasn't present. In fact, nights are generally extended to prevent any sort of assumptions like that right there Darla. If you see someone browsing the sight the moment a game gets re-opened for the next day, then someone could easily assume that that person browsing the sight was the person who sent in a kill. I'm actually pretty surprised armlx was killed. When I was reading through, I pretty much assumed the doc claim had to be fake, as in, armlx was just trying to avoid being lynched and someone else would turn up dead the next morning.
However, Mr.Flay. You were very quick to hammer Bazza weren't you? You didn't even wait for a reaction from the majority to his claim. That seems pretty scummy to me.
FOS:Mr.Flay
Just because you are a very experienced and loved player doesn't mean I don't think for a second that you might not be scum! You've been pretty pro-townie appearing up until now. I don't understand why you would do something like that. =/
Also, Darla, what do you mean looking into Bazza? He'sdeadand DIDN'T turn up scum.
I wasn't able to post during twilight, but I would have hammered bazza if Flay hadn't. Take that for what it is worth. I *really* wish the forums were set up for mobile posting, most of my reading is done on my Q9M.
A bit MORE wifom, I don't think Flay hammering was that bad, we had two viable options for a lynch and one claimed doc... but that could be colored by the fact that I would have hammered too.
I suspect Darla meant trying to look into the push against Bazza.One Hamster to rule them all!

Cheers.
PS: noticed you just posted,unvoteas requested,psuedo-vote: darox.
My initial post about the doc loss being expected was in direct response to this:
First post coming out and going "Oh no the Doc is dead, that's bad" is just... hinky. This fed more into my suspicion that she is scum. It felt *very* hollow.DarlaBlueEyes wrote:well crap.

It was expected.. I would have been surprised, and hella suspicious of Armlx if he hadn't died. Iexpectthe claimed Doc to die if they aren't scum. When they don't it raises questions on the validity of the claim.
The second post (and this really is deep fried in WIFOM) is my personal view when I play scum. I prefer to do the unexpected, and in that situation I would have left armlx alive. He probably wouldn't be *too* hard to get mislynched. It would definitely have discredited him. I work really hard not to be predictable on my NK's as scum. Hence my NK of the easiest townie to get mislynched in Newbie 526. (I must add, Having Flay like this was awesome!) And pushing my scum buddy to *not* kill the Politician in Election Day Mafia. If I figure a town role out I try to use it against the town and armlx was set up perfectly for that.
But then again, sometimes the unexpected when you play to that pattern is the standard kill. WIFOM MONSTER WILL EAT ME!.One Hamster to rule them all!

I've let Flameaxe know, but I'm posting here, I'm very likely going to need to be replaced, as I'm going to be gone off the net from Aug 18th until Sept 10th. I'm getting killed time wise right now. =(One Hamster to rule them all!

What particular part of this do you want me to reply to, just in general or...?Mr. Flay wrote:

Sorry, site and other duties have been seriously eating my head. No sudden hammer this time.
The usual reason for that (if the person is scum) is that their partner is on the wagon and they're either prepared to go down for the team, or they believe the partner will jump off if things get any more serious. Since caf is the one asking here, thatcaf19 wrote:Darla hasn't actually tried to defend herself against my accusations, which is puzzling. I say she needs to die and she doesn't even bat an eyelid? I'm not sure what to make of that, since it isn't helpful for scum to do that either.leanstoward a Qman partner, but obviously that requires one successful lynch here first. No big data yet, but I want to get as much out there for Qman to reply to before he is replaced (or we lynch him, of course). Qman can you reply to this post when you get a chance?
I'm more intrigued that the Brandi-Darla axis (against me) seems to have morphed into a full-on feud. Distancing or normal townie behavior? Hard to tell in a game this slow (and yes, I take partial blame for that).
I'm disinclined to think Darox is scum at this moment in time. He was too consistently on bazza's case, something newbie scum are often loathe to do. Since theyknowthe case is crap, D1 flip-floppers are more likely to be scum than D1 tunnel-visioners.
No real read on clammy at this moment. If pushed to vote, I'd vote Darla, but not without everyone chiming in at least once more first.
I suspect Darla/mike because mike was very very non-committal, something that armlx say as a cop tell, and i see as newbie power role tell. Darla has been really laid back about getting lynched and doesn't really seem to care. I agree that Darla's apparent lack of concern about getting sturng up is odd, but it's not odd enough to make me unvote her.One Hamster to rule them all!

oddities tend to have the effect of makng me bounce my vote while I reassess. i find it odd but not.... odd in a way that makes me worried about my vote placement. that was also in part directed at your comment that scum partner hop of the wagon once it doesn't seem safe to be on anymore. I was also trying to be subtle in responding to that point you made without trying to make it look like I wasn't saying "oh yeah? ill show you I won't unvote because you said I might".
by the way, by bouncing my vote I mean stuff like my unvote/vote again later bouncing I did with bazza

Working backwards a bit to start...Darox wrote:I've been wondering.
Qman, what would you do if Darla flipped town?
Clammy, what you would you do if Darla flipped scum? If I flipped town?
Brandi, what would you do if Darla flipped scum? If I flipped town?
Call it idle curiosity.
Honestly, that depends on who dies during the night and I don't want to show my hand on that. I do have a good feeling on what I'd do given if one particular person bites it versus another.
I'd be surprised though, I'd look hard at caf following me onto her as alot of the vote "feels" based on my vote reasons... and mine aren't clearly defined, for multiple reasons. That means caf and darox (Though darox is in the posititon of being the other target today) would be scrutinized.. My top two *if* darla flips town would be brandi and caf. My gut is telling me the scum two of darla/brandi/clammy... if darla flips town i'd probably focus mostly on the other two with a hard eye for caf as well.One Hamster to rule them all!

I approve of the pissing contest between posts 657 and 651! /sarcasim
moving on...
She?? Anyhows.. Also recognize that there is a risk in not killing the doc for scum... if the got a good protect that’s two confirmed town players. That leaves scum in a 6 on 2, with 2 confirmed. NOT good odds. Sometimes you roll the dice, some times you don't. When that play backfires you are nice and screwed scum.Brandi wrote:
Qman says he does the unexpected when hes scum, but in actuality I think that the unexpected in which she refers to would have actually been the smart thing to do. If armlx would have lived passed N1 and there still was a NK, scum would have gotten a free lynch out of armlx AND another NK just like that. Seriously, if a claimed Doctor lives while theres no time for a counter claim, theres no way everyone ISN'T going to be on his tail. I also realize what armlx was doing on D1, and it totally makes sense despite the fact that its a bit crazy. I'm sure all of you get the REAL reasons for his strange D1 behavior and how it correlates to him being a doctor. Anyway, my point is, and this is completely WIFOM, but its my personal opinion that whoever is scum or whoever sent in the NK choice hardly gave it any thought at all. I don't think the experienced players would have NKed armlx. So this is one reason why I think that Qman, Clammy, or Mr.Flay most likely are not the scum. Though, I have other major reasons as to why I believe Qman and Clammy to both be completely pro-town. Mr. Flay I am not as sure of....Qman pg 26 post subj#618 wrote:The second post (and this really is deep fried in WIFOM) is my personal view when I play scum. I prefer to do the unexpected, and in that situation I would have left armlx alive. He probably wouldn't be *too* hard to get mislynched. It would definitely have discredited him. I work really hard not to be predictable on my NK's as scum.
I'm not comfortable with your 3 person group that you feel good about. It's a common scum tactic to give a list of 3 people and plug the partner in it as town. For some reason it's the list of THREE people that triggers that thought to me, as it's easier to hide a buddy up and tie in three than two or one.
Yes I know I just posted a list of three people I don't really like much, but for some reason I think those two things are different...
Yeah but they also knew the armix wagon was on an innocent, and they both ended up at L-1. There really wasn't much risk for scum there.Brandi wrote:Anyway, I'd like to add in what I think is some very common sense. The bazza-wagon was MOST DEFINITELY a scum driven wagon. Think about it, The SCUM knew he was innocent. All they had to do was keep pushing bazza and the town would eventually tear him to shreds. Armlx was the one who was pushing the most IMO, but Darox I would say was probably the second most stuck towards lynching him. Clammy was also on Bazza for a while, but he pulled off, and was still mainly interested in Darox. DBE, just kept chiming in with her willingness to lynch him. Mr.Flay is the one that hammered, but after thinking about it, I know that he did it for a very good reason. As for Caf19, well, I'm not so sure. I get a lot of mixed feelings when I read some of his posts. If he turned up scum I wouldn't be TOO surprised, but it would still be a surprise. I've been trying to get an analysis on him and while he seems pretty pro-town my gut tells me I'm probably missing something.
The only person I'm comfortable with as town is Flay. He hammered when (i feel) he had to yesterday, and hammered the only option that was there for a town player. The fact that he didn't hammer here speaks well of him as well. However it also makes the specter of a Flay/DBE scum pair float in the back of my head to be recalled at a later date should I need it. I’m not that sold on this idea but later on it’s worth keeping in mind.
This post by Brandi really bothers me. I overlooked some of the middle of the day screwiness because of the call phone business and I know how that is but I've been uncomfortable with Brandi for a while.
Direction change: Brandi off the post.

Correction: that pissing contest was 657 and 661!
I still think Darla could be scum but I find it alot less likely than I did 20 minuts ago when I first say the question about her cardflip. At this point I'd be surprised if she did't flip town.One Hamster to rule them all!

This isn't a surprised it's both partially intentional, and partial because right now in in stream of conscienceness mode, meaning I'm tossing my thoughts out there as I think things over.Brandi wrote:Hmm. Update. I believe Darla is town now. Still totally believe Darox is scum. Also I have no idea where Qman is going with his latest posts. Very confusing, no idea what point hes trying to make. Seems really off to me. He lists a ton of people, makes me think he really doesn't know what to think. Still think hes town, just not at the top of his game.
This post bugs me for reason I can't quite quantify. The informed minority tends to take a few shots in the dark no matter what.. and why do you seem to have a problem with us pressuring him?Brandi wrote: I don't get it clammy, why are you voting for Caf? He hasn't been here and you havent expressed any old or new suspicions towards him. Are you just taking shots in the dark because you can't trust your own scum hunting abilities?

Darox isn't my second... and I don't remember saying that.. did I? o_0Mr. Flay wrote: Qman: If your secondary suspect is Darox, why were you voting Darla before? Why didn't you vote Darox when clammy unvoted?
Brandi and Clammy are my main suspects atm. Darox isn't my favorite but I don't think I'm willing to help contribute to his lynch today. There is part of me that wants to go after clammy today more than Brandi but I'm okay with Brandi pressure for now. I really don't get Darox chasing caf.
Lets not say I'm given Darla a pass, shes still a bit hinky in my eyes but for now.. I'd rather look elsewhere.One Hamster to rule them all!

Granted its a bit odd for this much movement of votes this late into a day, but that could be because the game is finally hitting a bit of a rhythm. I'm not 100% sold on the vanilla claim, but my gut is telling me to put pressure elsewhere.. I don't think a lynch right now (even if we end up back on darla and darox later) is the best idea. And yes there is a bit of an appeal to emotion there but most every towny claim ends up slightly inot the appeal category. I don't understand the suddenMr. Flay wrote:Something isweirdhere. Why do we think caf19 will come back because of voting? What makes people believe Darla here, the appeal to emotion? The vanilla claim?

More answers here. I don't recall saying I'd rather see you dead, though I might have. I don't like the vibe I get from your posts. There is something i can't put my finger on that sits wrong with me. That said, if we end up in a lylo i'm not going to be stupid about it... I hopeBrandi wrote:You're wrong Darox. You could easily enough get me to L-1 or even maybe lynched. I am your preferred target, right? Qman I think would rather have me dead than Darla too. So, if you kept your vote on me, maybe Mr.Flay would decide he'd rather have me lynched as well. Then Darla would come in with her 'gut feelings' and lynch me. (possibly) ;P But maybe you aren't going with preferred targets, maybe you just want to lynch whoever seems the easiest. Darla isn't the only choice, and picking her because you feel the town has decided she is the only one who could possibly die today seems a bit...odd. Not trying to get myself lynched, just saying.
Qman still hasn't given any actual reasoning as to why he thinks Im scum. Just the fact that he doesn't like the things that I say and that I referred to him as she... (which I don't think I did) I still have no idea why hes voting for me. =POne Hamster to rule them all!

Here I go breaking one of jeeps rules.
I kinda expected Darox to die, I didn't expect him to flip townie I thought he'd flip cop. Not really sure what to think about his death, it smells like a Brandi frame job.
