mainly because of his vt early claim and the fact that he buddied the dead cop.

Who do you think he'd be on a scumteam with, if he were scum?

massive maybe?

but im leaning towards a viking and kelbris team maybe massive as a third.
im probs off though

Nit to worry, I appreciate this back and forth.

VOTE: Idget
L-1 again.
This interaction has made me feel better about Oka.

Kop · Post Post #728 (ISO) » Wed Apr 22, 2015 8:21 pm

I have read through Oksas ISO, and I don't find anything that tells me he is scum, his wagon seems more like policy lynch because he has been tunneled and he has explained himself, whilst not in great detail but enough to convince me he isn't scum. And I'd guess that wagon that is on him, there will be scum on his wagon, and I don't care if people don't believe in the too scummy to be scum, but whilst there was a few posts that didn't sit right, for some unknown reason, I don't think scum would be that careless to give themselves on a platter.

UNVOTE: Oka

Kop · Post Post #729 (ISO) » Wed Apr 22, 2015 8:30 pm

Random ISO, I don't feel confident that he is scum, or town it's null, but I think he is the best one to lynch because to be honest, he won't offer us any great information when it'll become LYLO.

I am not a big fan of policy lynches, but to be honest I am going to have to go with it now in this case, because if and when it comes to LYLO and he is still in the game, it'll be hard to read whether he is indeed town, or scum.

intent to hammer Idget

And there we have it.

Looks like random is going to be gone. Are you going to at least wait for a claim? Random has been gone for a while now.

@mod: is it time for a prod on him?

<crickets>

1. Considering there was only 1 kill N1...this is would be a good fakeclaim...especially in hopes of outing a vig.
2. Why did you not vig N1?
3. If truthful (and not the D2 lynch)...pretty much dead N2 barring a protective role.
4. I'm not bothered keeping you around past D2.
5. All aboard the Oka train!

Really because I think it is a terrible scum claim if he is scum.

Will one person here, anyone, claim that they actually trust random with the vig shot? Anyone?

A non-player that has not put any effort into the game is not going to be saved by claiming that he can vig shot. At least I don’t see such happening.

Kop you keep yelling policy lynch, show us why you think Okas wagon is one.

And you repeated yourself on the too scummy to be scum points. If you have a town case we'd love to hear it, otherwise take your platter theory and forget it. Sometimes it is just that easy to find scum.

I've seen similar game plans where carelessness isn't a strong indicator that they are scum. I've looked through his posts and just cant see whats there that Says he is scum. If it makes you feel any better if everyone believes he is the best option for a lynch right now, I'll vote for him just to get it over the line.

Unvote

I'll be putting it back on Oka or Kop most likely. Waiting on a vote count so I don't accidentally hammer.

vikingfan · Post Post #738 (ISO) » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:54 pm

oka is actually interacting with the game and with other people. random has promised cases on 2 people and hasn't delivered on either. Notice I didn't say way more helpful, just that given a choice between the two, I'd rather have oka than random, that's all.

Too scummy to be scum is NOT a valid defense.

And random finally pops in with a one-shot vig claim. He had to claim SOMETHING, because he knew a VT claim would have gotten him lynched. That said, if he's telling the truth, is there a way we can direct his kill? (I doubt he lives the night so if we use the kill, it has to be now). Or is it better to simply forgo the possible kill altogether for fear of hitting a PR?

vikingfan · Post Post #739 (ISO) » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:56 pm

also, havingfitz, I don't blame him for not nightkilling if he is a one-shot vig, to me, that's a far more powerful role endgame than early when you run a high risk of killing a PR. I wouldn't have done it either.

havingfitz · Post Post #740 (ISO) » Thu Apr 23, 2015 1:28 pm

It would be nice to hear random Idgit answer the questions.

i thought i said that.

vikingfan · Post Post #743 (ISO) » Thu Apr 23, 2015 3:53 pm

I really don't like random's play just now. He knows we're all asking for him to join in, then finally when FA asks for a claim, he immediately jumps in 20 minutes later, gives his claim, gives town points to FA, and disappears again. No answer to anything else people have been asking and I doubt we'll get anything. It's clear to me he's reading, he's just not playing.

vikingfan · Post Post #744 (ISO) » Thu Apr 23, 2015 4:00 pm

Dang, I hate using posters' posting times but look at this ISO:

http://forum.mafiascum.net/search.php?a ... 6&sr=posts

He's posted in other games twice since he posted in this one at 4:36 central time (my time). He posted on Sunday promising a case on me tomorrow(last Monday). Here are his posts since then:

since he made that post Sunday he posted twice on Sunday.
EIGHT times on Monday (the day he promised a case on me, and that's not even including the case he promised on oka before that).
FIVE times on Tuesday.
TWICE on Wednesday.
and finally posts this morning apologizing for not being able to contrinbute much (um, you've been plenty able to contribute, you just haven't chosen to post given your myriad postings in other games).
and has psoted twice since he posted here.

Any questions?

Aristophanes · Post Post #745 (ISO) » Thu Apr 23, 2015 4:13 pm

Idget is best lynch atm.

This should just happen already.

Anyone wanna do that thing with the hammer?

I hate how this game has devolved into picking the worst of the two worst choices. I'm not saying neither of them are scummy, but they're so blase about playing the game that they've actually bored the thread to death. But none of us who are invested in the game are going to turn on each other until they go?

We're all so polite.
