But a massclaim is a terrible idea. Knowledge of the setup (if it is what I think it is) would not help us any.
So you know what the setup likely is but are witholding that info because it is hurtful.
Like if you are town you are asking to get night killed.
Have you never heard of "He knows too much!"
I mean, you are basically embodying that.
My information doesn't benefit the town at all if I'm right. It potentially hurts the town if I'm wrong, which is why massclaim is a bad idea.
I would not provide my information at any point in the game, because it would never be beneficial to town to know the setup.-

I think that massclaim will help reveal who the mafia are.
I most certainly was not. I did not vote CN, I unvoted Firebringer, I backed off of both lynches you're accusing me of lining up, and did so with explained reasoning.Ranger was lining up lynches on two players, one of which we now know is town (CN), and the other of which I think is town (Fire).

After I called you on lining up lynches. That hardly gets you town points.
My bastard was not bastard either. That was the point - I lied about it being bastard. I'm almost positive we're thinking the same thing.
If we're wrong, PRs die.
If we're right, the setup could be designed in a way that it's impossible to tell who's scum even if all roles are claimed. There is no benefit.-

Hardly gets me town points, sure, but invalidates your point. I never pushed CN, I backed off of Firebringer, that was based off of me reconsidering my reads, and I showed why. Calling me out on lining up mislynches does nothing.Rob13 wrote:After I called you on lining up lynches. That hardly gets you town points.
Well I suppose there was benefit from this after all. I agree we're probably thinking the same thing, and from it I think you're town.I'm almost positive we're thinking the same thing.

Hey, Rob.Jackal wrote:Fire comes off as scummy to me.. though I don't like the fact that Soren's posts have been nothing but an attempt to push the Fire wagon.
At least one of those 2 is scum...
You accused ME of lining up mislynches.

Then look at who Jackal pushes in 59: Firebringer (the lead wagon), and Soren (who people had expressed concerns about).Rob13 wrote:Some people express Soren concerns and immediately you're trying to start a counter-wagon there to save yourself?AKA, rBree2.

127 was opportunistic (making the ChaoticNeutrality wagon the largest) and did not follow from his "One of Firebringer or Soren is scum" thought.
Then, again ignoring the Firebringer/Soren thought, you get his recent 204, blatantly sheeping you, Rob, and placing me at L-1...again with no thought of his own and ignoring his previously-stated sentiments.
Jackal is not scumhunting.
He is also the player with the least number of posts in the game at five. He's avoiding giving content entirely.AKA, rBree2. Casual tryhard.

Doing a triple-iso of davesaz/Soren/Firebringer, I keep on going back-and-forth. Overall, Soren comes out looking fairly neutral-to-town consistently, so of the three, I'd think Soren's probably the most town.
Firebringer I go back-and-forth on. On the one hand, we get some blatant buddying/omgus/reverse-omgus in the form of things like 146 and also contradicting reads. On the other hand, I see Firebringer raising good points every once and a while, showing what looks like unique thought.
davesaz similarly has some good moments, but a lot of his pushes don't make sense.
This, while voting Firebringer. In 78/79, davesaz also makes CN/Soren suspicion, yet his vote was still on Firebringer.davesaz wrote:I didn't like Soren's reply to my question and agree that he looks shady. Thinking that we have scum caught does not obviate the need to look at everyone else.
Then we get me appearing out of nowhere, when a wagon was forming; why did he suddenly support a lynch on me?davesaz wrote:I'm here and would be willing to vote either Ranger or CN.
Especially given that, today, he posted this:
The thing which makes me hesitate is this:Fire, Rob: why Ranger over Soren?
He mentioned Jackal as a lynch, when nobody else (aside from me) did.Pretty worried they're both town. I'd prefer Soren or Jackal, but neither is an option without 2-3 more people online.
Still, if I had to guess, davesaz would be my current pick for second scum.AKA, rBree2. Casual tryhard. I've Quite the RANGE. #pluralgangGame History"Interestingly though, town winrate in Blitzes has been really high."- RadiantCowbells |"Ranger's been town in most of them."- Plotinus

It would help if you didn't edit out the post numbers. You're ignoring / trying to hide how close the deadline was.Wanna play Minecraft with your ms friends? Check out the minecraft thread, or the channel on discord-

No, it really doesn't invalidate my point.
My mistake, it was Ricastle you lined up, not CN. My apologies.
In post 92, Ranger wrote:
Because I'm not convinced you're town, particularly if Firebringer were to flip town. If Firebringer flips scum, then I'd look to see if I thought your interactions were that of scumbuddies, but until then, you're not sending strong signals which say town.Ricastle wrote:Ranger, how come I'm so low on your list?
That post directly says "If X is town, Y is scum". That's textbook lining up lynches on town, and further, I think you killed Ricastle at night to try to dodge the argument about lining up lynches. You didn't want to have to push him or move off of him awkwardly because I had called attention to how scummy all that looked.
Moving off Fire after I noted that you were lining up lynches doesn't invalidate my point. It's you doing damage control. You can't do something AFTER I note a tell and then say "Oh, that means I never did the tell!" There's no takebacksies here. You can't just withdraw your read and walk away.-

I don't know about that. Seems odd that Jackal voted and unvoted fast sure, but that seems more like a town tell than a scum one.
Usually scum don't bus softly like that. At least from my experience.Show"You are the Joker of mafia players" - Oversoul

I posted this a few minutes after midnight. If I don't move my vote it's almost guaranteed to be a no-lynch.

Unless someone else is around other than Rob, we're stuck with CN as the only possibility with our 2 votes to swing, since he's already on Ranger.
And this a few minutes later.

It really, really doesn't? Read it again. "I'm not convinced you're town, especially if Firebringer is town" does not translate into "If Firebringer is town, Ricastle is scum". It translates into, exactly what it says, me not being convinced Ricastle's town, especially not if Firebringer was also town.Rob13 wrote:That post directly says "If X is town, Y is scum".
"If Firebringer flips scum" is obviously not chaining mislynches because itrequires a scum lynch.
I knew Ricastle was a deputy. (That's why Ricastle became my top-townread.) You know why I wouldn't kill them.I think you killed Ricastle at night to try to dodge the argument about lining up lynches.

No other lynch was even a remote possibility. Your lynch was only possible if someone other than Rob and me was hanging around. Lynch > no lynch.
As town I'm always willing to lynchsomeonevs. no-lynch, other than the obvious cases where a no-lynch is strategic in mylo/lylo situations.
If someone had come in and hammered then we would have had that as an analysis point.Wanna play Minecraft with your ms friends? Check out the minecraft thread, or the channel on discord
