Lets see, I've played with DemonHybrid, Parama and Bub(Nico's last game I think it was) and then AGar on a couple of different occasions.
Hi guys
Glad to meet the rest of you.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I never said nothin' back to him. You don't want mess with no freak that's searchin' around that hard for blood.-

UNVOTE: Parama
VOTE: [winger]
I disagree/agree with you on him, Parama. Double RVSing is the point I agree with. Giving him a pass, not so much.
You bring up a good point about crazypianist though. Have to see where that goes because from what I can tell, [winger] was the first to attack him on "lol"ing DH's vote. But for the moment, crazy doesn't look great, but not voteworthy.
At the risk of being accused of overthinking without enough info, winger attacked here::
Language is too strong for this early in the game, in my opinion [second bold part].[winger] wrote:...
Not at all, AGar. I just thought the response "lol" to someone who placed the second vote on pianist was a bit too lackadaisical.DemonHybrid already pointed it out... it seemed very much like crazypianist did have a problem with that vote, which makes me wonderwhy she liedabout it.
Apparent contradiction in the first bold part. DemonHybrid did point that out in Post - 41 but [winger] first mentioned it in Post - 39. [winger]'s post make it look like DH mentioned it first, in my opinion, and that [winger] is just building off that.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Umm....where? And it's too early to use the word "lie" when there is no lie. I've seen the points against crazypianist and while I do think there may be something useful there (which might be a stretch even for my imagination, only 4 posts), at no point has she either lied that I can see, nor has she contradicted herself.[winger] wrote:..
Why?She directly contradicted herself.At what point in the game does it stop being "too early" to use the word "lie"? This is an arbitrary attack on me.

Ok, now I'm confused a bit...I thought he was just new to this site.Twistedspoon wrote:..
anyways, [winger] is a newbie, and whether or not we approve of this, we have to take this into consideration when we judge him for his posts and actions. Thus I find a winger wagon premature at this stage (and this is coming from the player who set the [winger]] wagon going by applying the first vote on him)
Perhaps winger could clear this up for me. Is this your first game of forum mafia ever? Or just your first on this site?[winger] wrote:..
This is my first game on this site, so you'll have to enlighten me a bit. I read through a few games here before I started this one, but I didn't see this being an issue there.

Ok, at the risk of starting an MD discussion. (And everyone is welcome to take this with a grain of salt since I am one of the players involved)[winger] wrote:Fine, you're paranoid.
And no, it's not a way to tie myself to two players... it's an honest question that if double voting in RVS is scummy, then logic would follow that I would have a reason to unvote one person and vote for the other.
No.
Or at least no reason that really has anything to do with crazy or myself.
Votes at time of your switch to me:- Parama - Oso(me), Riceballtail
- Oso(me) - Parama, Bub
- Sundy - crazy
- Winger - Twistedspoon
- AGar - Sundy
- crazy - winger, DH
Your vote on crazy, myself and then back to crazy is fairly alignment null as far as crazy and I are concerned. Your vote made me the biggest wagon, which isn't all that damning as that made it a wagon of only 3, but you switched it back to a player that had home some semi-serious doubts thrown at them (which wasn't true in my case) the minute you came under pressure.
You are deliberately looking for easy to hide on wagons and/or already under pressure targets, from my POV. Your first vote was truly RVS, the switch to me, maybe can be explained by the reasons you gave (random voting as many times as needed for someone to do something scummy) if you are a forgiving person. The switch back to crazy after you came under some pressure: No.
He was the only other person in the thread that had any amount of serious(non-RVS) pressure on him at the time AGar put some pressure on you.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Sundy and Cecily, I don't think he is true-claiming.
That said, call it Oso's PR policy if you want, there is no chance we are going to get a counter today (it's D1, it's a Doc claim and we don't even know if there is a Doctor to counter if winger is false-claiming) and absolutely no way to tell if he is lying about the claim. His play up to this point (as bad as I think it may be) doesn't override the claim, in my opinion.

Easy to explain. Since quite a few folks have put their own interpretation on the "lol", I'll give mine.[winger] wrote:..
I'm not sure what exactly makes my play so bad. I pressured someone I found scummy, thought they didn't respond well under pressure, and pursued it.Oso wrote:His play up to this point (as bad as I think it may be) doesn't override the claim, in my opinion.
..
"lol."Jesus, DH make up your friggin' mind would you
Anybody, and I mean anybody, that got something other than that out of crazy's response is well.....crazy. Trying to build a case out of it then and continuing to read something into it other than that now isn't crazy, it is scummy. Continuing to attack the 'lol' post and the people who are dismissing it as null and continuing to use it as evidence against crazy isn't doing you any favors in my eyes.
2 things I can say for analmostcertainty about D1 in regards to me:- You(winger) won't be getting vote for the rest of the day. True or false, your claim saved you from any further vote harassment from me today.
- crazypianist won't be getting my vote today. The case against him started with the whole 'lol' post and as I just stated, that case is a whole load of crap as far as I'm concerned and pretty much anything generated by it is pretty much useless in regards to him(crazy). It's only use was to find opportunistic scum who tried to push it, of which you were the front runner in that race as far as I was (and still am) concerned.

Yes. D1, only a VT is going to claim VT. Town PR will claim their role, scum will claim town PR, as a general rule. And even being just a "general rule", I've found it to be a pretty good one.[winger] wrote:..
I don't like AGar's vote on TwistedSpoon, though. He essentially voted spoon for automatically believing my claim. Is that really so weird?

It was the RVS stage when I voted Winger
That is a good example of what's been bugging me about your posts all game TS.
You claim you started his(winger's) wagon and that your opinion should carry some weight because of that when your start was nothing more than RVS. I can't articulate what bugs me about that, just that it does.
This whole newb thing. I have a bit of a soft spot for newbs (and VIs), having been both, but winger is not a newb. He might be new to MS and having some trouble with site meta but he's not a newb.
That pretty much sum's up what I think of your comments like that above. You're giving off mixed signals like crazy.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Looking back on the day though, I can see why.

Yep, that's a record for any game I've played in.....ever.
See that new avatar of mine? If Cecily actually flips scum, I'll keep it until someone from this game tells me I've learned my lesson. That would make 3 blown calls in 2 days for me. winger, Akira (who I thought was going to flip town despite being willing to hammer him) and now Cecily.

What, exactly, is wrong with Post 56?
Um, as to unvoting Winger, like I said earlier Oso's PR policy which basically boils down to don't lynch PR claims day 1...ever. Don't take my word for it though.

I thought about as much.Parama wrote:Gut's telling me that your intention was to vote the wagon that was less likely to take off on its own so that after that was done you could default to the other wagon regardless of whether or not the first wagon went through to a lynch.
Though in light of the post I quoted that hardly matters, since you're scum.
I don't care about your meta.
1)Gut
2)An "obvious" post. So "obvious" you feel it requires no explanation
3)Refusal to EVEN CONSIDER prior behavior that would invalidate either/both points 1 and 2
Despite that, you are still pretty low on my radar at the moment.
Moving on.

Riceballtail's vote of Sundy is reasonless. By that I mean RBT gave no reason for the vote.
I'd like to hear from both players before I go cluttering up the thread with yet another case/vote.
Two different votes (at that point. Parama's vote of me makes it three votes on three different people now) is quite enough for the moment, in my opinion.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

To the second part, crazy is the most glaring example but Twistedspoon could also qualify depending on your personal definition of "late".

His explanation of his slip made sense to me as I have also dropped parts of sentences (hell, even whole sentences) when posting in a hurry. I didn't automatically think "slip". I thought he was stating the obvious because I added the"if he is true-claiming"part to his post when I read it in my head almost without even thinking about it.The only reasons I expressed a willingness to hammer was we already had a PR showing (winger) and we certainly didn't need another outed PR (or claim at all really) D1. When Parama said this in response to my statement that only VTs calim VT D1,
He was basically stating what happens D1 to VT claims.."the person who claims VT D1, loses."Parama [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2846509#p2846509]Post - 190[/url] wrote:..
Funnily enough, town almost always lynches VT claims D1 regardless! <_<
..
Had Akira been the first person to claim D1, instead of Winger, I wouldn't have even considered voting him after his claim. Pressure cooking the next scummiest player would have been what I would have thought. But since he had the bad luck to be forced to claimed after a claimed PR, he lost.
See Post - 337 for the second part.
As to dragging you into this? Unavoidable. To get DH to respond, I had to look at, and answer the questions he posed (they were at AGar rather than me, oh well). You are #5 on the Akira wagon. I didn't "drag you into this". Your positioning on the Akira wagon and DH's question did that. Pos 5 on a 7 person wagon would qualify as a "late" vote, in my opinion and that was one of the things DH was asking AGar to look at.
That part you quoted "I know why I don't like either of those players at the moment..."is directly related to Bub and crazy. It isn't meant to include you although I do admit that the way I structured it makes it look I am including you with crazy in that sentence. I was was thinking "Bub and crazy" not "Twisted and crazy"My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

The bold. That's just it Bub, she wasn't. And that is the main reason I like you as scum.Bub Bidderskins wrote:I'm not really buying the case on DH. Personally, I think he's town. I don't read his reference to Parama as deflection. I think he's got a valid point in that Parama basically said the same thing he did and Agar didn't latch onto him.The fact is that Cecily was such a prime target for a lynch that scum could have just sat back and watched.
I haven't played with Cecily before so I don't know if she it prone to idiotic episodes or not and the whole case against her yesterday only makes sense if you think she's an idiot.
Akira(scum)/Cecily(scum) only makes the least amount of sense if you think she is somehow mentally defective when it comes to playing mafia. It is too bizarre otherwise. Not "too scuumy to be scum" either rather "too bizarre to be scummy". As her flip proved, she was giving an honest explanation.
As town, her actions makes more sense. She was defending her read on the "slip" (not defending Akira) and got auto-associated with Akira. Her only 'sin' was to give Akira the benefit of the doubt on the slip and accept his explanation of it.
Your post right before your hammer of Cecily:
Ooof, easily the most scummy post of the game.Bub Bidderskins wrote:..
Crap excuse. You didn't really push that hard agains the Akira lynch. You just said "it wasn't a scum-slip". You were reluctant, not out-right against. Please do not change history. After this post, I want two things to happen:
1) You to claim
2) Me to hamma
If 1) does not take place in a reasonable amount of time, I will reverse the order.
1) She already had claimed here:....I am as townie as it gets.. That was while everyone was waiting on her to claim, she did there.
2)You are going to hammer no matter what she says (as your next post proves). You can tell it by the tone of that post.
At no time yesterday, did anyone on Cecily even consider giving her the benefit of the doubt on her actions re:Akira and they should have because her play was so atypical of how a scumbuddy with any amount of experience would have acted.
About crazypianist, 2 things.
1) Hammering Akira without waiting for him to post a final time. Had crazy been an actual townie, he would have been just as interested as anyone else should have been in any final thoughts he(Akira) had to give, on the chance that he was telling the truth about his claim as well.
That looks like stealing the hammer from from the person who is willing to hammer to shut off discussion and get as much town cred as he can from his partner's flip.
2)That he leads off the day voting Cecily doesn't help his case much at all either (if it's not clear, nobody on Cecily's wagon is anywhere near town in my reads. But since there can't be that many scum left, some of you have to be town. Trying to figure out which ones they are is going to be a chore though).
I think he actually did what AGar thinks DH did except that he was quicker and was taking advantage of a situation that presented itself. Get on the wagon as far away from the hammer vote of a townie as he can.
Everyone has a built in excuse for the Cecily wagon simply because everyone on it looks so bad right now but there is no way there are that many scum left.
Which is why I don't like DH's comments so far today but I have to admit that they make a certain amount of objective sense. Looking for scum on her(Cecily's) wagon isn't going to easy.
Does that answer your questions, Bub? Or did you have some others?My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Well, it looks like trainwreck number 2 is on its way to its destination. Might as well help it get there.
I'm a VT.
Final calls: Agar is town. Parama may be town. At least he looks the most townie on the Cecily wagon as there is no evidence prior to that of any overt scumminess. He's just being Parama as far as I can tell. I'd put Twistedspoon on the same level as Parama.
Sundy, Riceballtail. Both are a bit lurky as far as I can tell so any scuminess I have been getting from then is non-participation. If any two players are still dead neutral to me. They are it.
DH, Bub and Crazy. I'd say DH and crazy are definite scum (see my last post for some of the reasons). DH I'm not so sure about but there are, in my opinion, at least 2 scum in that group of three players with Bub and crazy tied for first and DH trailing by a fair amount.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Hit submit by mistake.
No one had time to anything to help Cecily that might have wanted to. I posted in the thread here before she was at L-1. I made 2 posts in Forum 62 during the day, they are easy and require no thinking.
I knew people were posting here because my email notified me that new post were made but I was working and in no scenario that I could think of did I expect that she would be lynched before I could get in here and see who was taking the most advantage of it and attack them.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I did and you are right. I look at enigma's vote count and read the posts down to the one I responded to that Parama made.
This probably seals my lynch but I didn't see TS's vote. (I know, it is right below Enigma's vote count. But I missed it just the same.)
Until you pointed it out just now, I thought Cecily was at 4 votes when I made that post. I've ISO'd a lot of people this game TS hasn't been one of them.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Quick before work.
I agree with Sundy on Parama although I would have definately put him above Bub, crazy and DH on the town scale.
I know you've blown the call on me but ,eh, trying to convince you of that is probably not going to work.
I think you have most definitely blown the call on both AGar and TS. The main reason I didn't attack (just refuted) the posts Parama, TS and AGar made in regards to me is because I think they stand a decent chance of being town and are simply wrong, but not scum-wrong.
Bub's vote is attack worthy because well, Bub is scum and that by definition mean there is malicious intent behind all of his posts.
Off to do some work. If I remain un-lynched, I should be back in 10-12 hours or tomorrow morning. I have the 12pm-12am on-call shift today so depending on how busy I am, I may not be able to post until tomorrow if I hit the sack right after I'm relieved.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Caught a bit of slow down-down and checked in.
First bold. Already answered in Post 375 "Bub Bidderskins wrote:..
Even if you thought that he was at L-2 (which I highly doubt, considering that Twisted's vote was right after the vote count), you didn't try to get people to slow down. The four votes that you admit to seeing were right after each other.Any reasonable player would assume that the lynch was moving very quickly, and yet you didn't do anything to say that the lynch was too quick until Cecily had already been lynched...This probably seals my lynch but I didn't see TS's vote. (I know, it is right below Enigma's vote count. But I missed it just the same.).." If you think its a lie, then say so, don't use this aside shit EVEN IF....(HIGHLY DOUBT....). You've left yourself an out there on that particular point no matter what what I flip because you have covered both possibilities.
Second bold. Wrong. It is not reasonable to expect that a person is going to be lynched in 3 1/2 hours in anything but a slam dunk LyLo. People get run up to L-2 and L-1 very quickly all the time, but I can say I never played in a game where it all the way to a lynch that quickly at the beginning of the day in anything but the example above: A no-brainer Lylo.
As to why I didn't try to get people to slow down? Again, I didn't think it would go to lynch that quickly. I thought I would have plenty of time after work to get all my ducks in a row and attack those who taking advantage of it. I fully expected to come back and see that the pressure has eased somewhat. What I did not expect was to come back and see a lynch.
@ Sundy. Small point to correct.
You Said:#24: Oso says he's blown 3 calls if Cecily flips town, changes avatar (!)
I actually said :See that new avatar of mine? If Cecily actually flips scum, I'll keep it until someone from this game tells me I've learned my lesson. That would make 3 blown calls in 2 days for me. winger, Akira (who I thought was going to flip town despite being willing to hammer him) and now Cecily.
If Cecily had actually been scum, I would have kept that avatar and probably went back to the Newbie forum for a game or two until my bout of the herpdy-derps has passed.
As to the rest of your points on me. I'd disagree on the last 'flail,flail,flail' part but yes to all the plusses and yes to all the minuses. When I get in a hurry (which does happen a lot on weekdays) I do tend to think way faster than I type. Makes for rather confusing posts sometimes. And yes, I can see DH being bad but his probability of being bad is way lower than Bub or crazy in my opinion. We still have an unknown number of scum out there but there is at least one more mafia and the traitor. That's two I'm sure that are still out there so I have no problem just having two serious suspects at the moment.
To answer any doubts about my stance on any of the players at the moment:
Prob town: AGar, Parama, TS
Scum: Bub, crazypianist
Undetermined: DH, Sundy, RBT but DH is riding the line.
I don't like the way he defended himself earlier today but as I said earlier, he does make a bit of sense. He doesn't however take any responsibility for his being on the wagon, simply points at the play of others that was similar to his own. Bub doesn't take any responsibility nor does TS and crazy hasn't even been in here yet today to say anything.
Only Parama has what I would call an "Oh shit" moment about the Cecily lynch when he answers your point:
#20: Declares Cecily to be scum and Twisted to be town, this eventually leads to Cecily's death (-1)
town can be wrong.I still stand by the theory that Cecily was an antimiller, personally.
It's a small moment but it is there. That is why he is in top group of my list rather than the middle or bottom groups. That and his play in this game isn't saying 'scum' to me.
TS is up there with AGar and Parama because of his vote of me here. From that I got he thinks I might be scum but his main objection seems to be being mentioned in a post. Normally I'd say that reeks of scum but, in light of the speed in which Cecily was lynched yesterday, seems to me a perfectly normal and understandable survival reaction that a new player of either alignment would have. That said, it looks to me like a normal reaction of someone who really doesn't have a clue as to what's going on at the moment so that makes him town rather than scum in my estimation. Scum would have a clue.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I think that I am unpressurized enough to go on. I do see that TS almost got the noose instead and yes, I do appreciate what you did TS. Getting lynched is part of Mafia but I'd rather it not happen to me and I'm glad your unvote didn't end in your lynch.
Ehhemm....
MY TUUUURN
VOTE: Bub Bidderskins
tl;dr - Sorry, tried to get one, couldn't do it. There is just so much to work with. In addition, some responses to him that I didn't make in my defense when I was run up.
Note: A lot of this is highly subjective so if you think 'confirmation bias' at any point, I won't hold it against you.
First off:
It wasn't that sentence Bub. You are right, you made it today, not yesterday but it is entirely indicative of your attitude in your hammer post of Cecily on D2. here. You want to hammer, it obvious. The only reason you did the whole claim before hammer is to seem reasonable in my opinion. I do think that had she claimed a PR you would have backed off but it would have pissed you off mightily.Bub Bidderskins [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2862890#p2862890]Post-371[/url] wrote:
You said I looked super-fine for a lynch at the end of D-2. I made that post D-3. So since that's the main reason you thought I was scum, how could you have thought I was scum before I made that post?Oso wrote:

Which brings me to this little gem:
Uuhhh, wut?? The bold part. Since when? Scum don't push power role lynches unless they areBub Bidderskins [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2859321#p2859321]Post-338[/url] wrote:I don't usually put much trust in meta. It encourages stupid people to keep on being stupid otherwise people will think they're scum. However, I personally don't see anything scummy in what Oso did.Scum would want to keep on pushing for a lynch of a claimed power role. Backing off wouldn't help them out. However, there is one interesting thing about Oso....
Oso: right before D-2 ended, you said that both me and crazy looked "super-fine" for a lynching, yet you haven't even brought that up today. What gives?morethan reasonably certain it won't come back to bite them in the ass. Not on Day 1, not any Day. I know that makes my unvote of [winger] suspect except that it is completely asinine to push a D1 lynch of a claimed PR for both scum and town. It's null. Giving town points for it makes little sense and it confused me when you said that. But I figured out why you are doing it as in regards to what I said above: To seems like a reasonable, take all views into account player when in reality you aren't.
He did it here as well.
Glaring Example. "I'm willing to set this aside..." but it is painfully obvious that he really isn't. Had he been willing to put it aside, he never would have mentioned it. It a facade to look reasonable. Kind of like those sleezy TV lawyers who say something like "Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, we all know Akira is an accused thief but I'm going to set that aside.... So, Akira, why'd ya steal the car, hmmmm??" It just looked better because Akira did turn out to be scum.Just for the sake of argument,I'm going to assume Akira rightabout your scum-slip #1 for this post. Moving on to scumslip #2...
..
So, even with scum-slip #1 aside, Akira has still madeone too manyscumslips for my taste. Even without the scum-slips, he was moderatly scummy, but the slips put him over the edge.
Even more than anyone else in the thread at that point, he pounds the Akira/Cecily=scum into the ground here and here (they are a post and EBWOP) but it is also painfully obvious to me that when people hear or say "" he(Bub) wants their next thought to be "Akira"..and Cecily his scum partner.
At that point, he gets the best of both worlds. Look at the state of the game at that point and put yourself back in that day, take the Akira/Cecily flips out of your mind. If she gets any more flustered, there is a good chance the Akira wagon could transfer over to her. A town flip of Cecily strengthens any defense Akira gives the next day. Failing that, since Akira probably is going to be lynched at that point, Bub isn't the real driving force behind the lynch at that point. Parama is. Any accusations of "too easy, that must have been a bus" fall on Parama and perhaps DH as the wagon starter, but not on Bub, he has insured that he prominent at casting suspicions at Akira but he hasn't voted Akira, he is being courteous to Parama by 'holding off'.
The final thing, as this more nebulous and more subjective but it stares out at me really badly, is that he(Bub) never does really give anyone the honest benefit of the doubt, like I said above except for here:
But that is tainted. Bub was the hammer on Cecily so any defense he makes of another person on the wagon, is, by proxy, a defense of himself. If he can diffuse AGar's reasons for voting DH, he also does the same thing for himself should attention turn to him. He's not giving DH the benefit of the doubt there, he's covering his own ass.Bub Bidderskins wrote:I'm not really buying the case on DH. Personally, I think he's town. I don't read his reference to Parama as deflection. I think he's got a valid point in that Parama basically said the same thing he did and Agar didn't latch onto him. The fact is that Cecily was such a prime target for a lynch that scum could have just sat back and watched.
I've already went over in other posts what I thought of his hammer of Cecily, in addition to what I put above, so I won't rehash that. Any post I made in this day in regards to Bub is still valid as far as I'm concerned.

Post to let everyone know that I am no longer V/LA.
Don't like this. As in, I don't automatically agree with the assumption, not that I think it is scummy.
6:1 is like AGar says. 4:1 come tomorrow, 2:1 LyLo come Day 6 if no scum are lynched.Agar wrote:Well that made things interesting.
My best guess says we're in really good position right now. We should have 2 tries before we hit lylo, I would think. It strikes me as highly unlikely that we started with 3 scum + 1 traitor, as that gives us ~2/3 mislynches to work with, depending on how things work out. Even without a recruited traitor, 3 mafiosos gives scum a pretty good position to go into a mylo-esque situation on D2.
If anyone has anything exciting from the night actions, now would be an optimal time to tell us, as we (again - by my own estimates) should be in a 6:1 scenario.
5:2 means LyLo tomorrow if we mis-lynch today.
Point being, play to the second while hoping for the first and start lynching right today.
@TS. It's not WIFOM really. But consider this, killing you confirms your motivations. That can be considered by some to strengthen my claim since you risked a lynch of yourself by doing it. Keeping you alive puts both of our claims in doubt. Mine because the case could be made that you are town that backed off my lynch for townie reasons and that is being taken advantage of. Yours because you used gambit to save a townie for cred that paid off.
The first is more likely than the second, in my opinion, from every POV but mine. But overall, scum get more doubt in the game by leaving us both alive if we are both town because when your alignment is confirmed as town, my claim is auto-strengthened to a certain extent because you had no scum motivation for what you did. A case could certainly be made that you were wrong to back off and I am still scum, but having a townie almost take the rope to save you is a pretty powerful tool in the hands of the person you did it for.
The opposite is true. As scum, you would get even further cred by having me NKed at some point but not the night after you saved me. That borders on too transparent. But testing that means at least one more night.
So right now, from where I stand, you are still town and by using some similar reasoning as above, I'm starting to think that my case on Bub may not be as cut and dried as I thought it was. Checking that during day as I work.
[pre-edit]
I don't think scum screwed up by NKing Parama, at least not intentionally. That it happened tends to make me think that we are in a 5:2 at the moment rather than a 6:1.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Quit being so defensive, seriously. And read what I posted above.Twistedspoon wrote: Then, I believed I was hammered since Agar said he had hammered. Thus I posted my after-game thoughts and became a confirmed townie.
There was no-way I knew this was going to happen, and certainly didn't save you to increase my 'Cred'
seriously >_>
Start thinking as to why things are happening as they are rather than just reacting every time you see your name in post with anything that could be interpreted as an accusation.
Pull yourself out of the game for a second and read it like you are not a participant.
The main points of my post- I think assuming a 5:2 is safer than assuming a 6:1 at this point
- Because of how I would be playing this game were I scum , I think that you are still town..."So right now, from where I stand, you are still town..."
- Using a variation of that thinking has caused me to doubt my read on Bub...."...by using some similar reasoning as above, I'm starting to think that my case on Bub may not be as cut and dried as I thought it was."
weakensthe other's claim. The second we get a town flip on either you or me, the other becomes almost unlynchable. That goes to you more than it does me. Because of the unlikelyhood of TS(scum) gambiting like I described, TS(strong town) becomes TS(iron clad town) on my flip. Only way to kill you is by NKing rather than lynching. That doesn't apply to me but my claim is strengthened by your town flip. Both are results that scum would wish to avoid if they could. I'm still lynchable material. Much more than you are. But scum teams aren't known for limiting options until they have to. They NK people who they can gain the most advantage out of being gone.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Basic overview:
I think Bub is scum, Bub thinks I am scum. Over and above the normal "well, it is Mafia, anyone could be scum". If one of us is scum, whoDON'Twe want in LyLo with us should we get that far? That would the other person. If either of us is in a 3 person LyLo and scum, it's a town win.
Conclusion: Bub may not be scum and that gets stronger, from my POV, the longer I remain un-NKed. I know my alignment and the longer both of us (Bub and I) are in the game, still breathing, the higher likelihood Bub is town. It's not going to be auto-town by any means but that thought will carry more and more weight in deciding when to dismiss something as null rather than calling it scummy as I go back over things. Not saying that I still wouldn't go ahead and vote Bub in 3 person LyLo even now, but it's not going to be a 'slam-dunk' decision to lynch like it would have been yesterday.
Most of this is prompted by Parama's NK and his flip as the traitor. I'm currently trying to repair a mental disconnect over that one and it caused a basic disruption in how I thought this game was playing out.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

anyways, you still haven't said what abour Bub makes you suspicious other than that he thinks you're scum.Without explaining it just looks like omgus :/
It starts here and continues here. No follows ups because I got busy for a few days with work and had little time for entertainment.
As to WIFOM? You seem to like that phrase a lot. It is not the Holy Grail of Mafia. Breifly: Things have happened that have caused me doubt my overall reads on Bub. Not discard them, just doubt them. Leading to re-examination. But that "WIFOM" train thought you seem to think I havewillcarry some weight in my re-examination all the way to game over. Either here in the game or just watching after my death.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I'm not sure I understand my statement either. Just don't see a player like Parama getting NKed by accident in a game where Mafia knows there is a traitor out there. Depending on your personal opinion of Parama as a Mafia player (he's fairly high on my personal scale of 'good' mafia players both from playing a game with him before this and by reading games that he happened to be in), he'd be a definite candidate for recruitment before ending up on the NK list in this game.Sundy wrote:..
@Oso: "I don't think scum screwed up by NKing Parama" -- I don't understand this statement, can you elaborate? Why would they have wanted to kill him if they knew he was on their team? Also is it guaranteed that scum killed him as opposed to a vigilante or something? (I'm not used to this set-up)
Currently trying to reconcile that thought as that is what caused the mental disconnect I mentioned earlier. It is possible that he was recruited I guess, but something ([winger] maybe) interfered with it so Mafia thought he was town. Aside from that possibility, it looks more and more like the NK was done deliberately with knowledge he was the traitor, at least from my POV.
But take that with a grain of salt. My opinion of his ability may not be shared by others so that could invalidate my train of thought completely as to whether he was a high priority for recruitment before NKing.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' ....

@TS. Actually, I don't think it's true, winger interfering with recruitment
Mae was in the game before N1 started. I checked. We didn't know it at the time but she was a Watcher so she should have been all over [winger]. Her actions the next day tell me she either didn't watch over [winger] and picked someone else or that she was interfered with so had no results to claim the next day. Yes, with Akira flipped scum, if she had results on a watch from a NKed town PR, I think she would have claimed D2. I would have. So she didn't have any usable results from her watch on [winger] and I do think she was watching him.
Highest probability of getting a watcher hit as Mafia have no clue (other than speculation) that there is a Watcher in the game and winger's claimed role can prevent NKs.Maemuki [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2848440#p2848440]Post-231[/url] wrote: [winger] is most likely town. Even if he isn't, he's not the right choice for today. /obvisobv
We know winger didn't Jailkeep his killer, he's dead. He could have possibly jailed the mafia who was sent out to recruit but, until we get some evidence that Mafia have a blocking ability, it looks to me that [winger] jailed Mae.
winger could have possibly jailed Parama but I have never asked, or read, if the JK prevents other actions except NKs from affecting the jail target. According to the wiki, there is a variant of the JK that protects from all night actions so that could be what we are seeing here, without the name change to "Alien", obviously (I searched site-wide to see if I could find a JK discussion and I'm pretty sure one is there, I just can't find it at the moment as it's not obvious by reading topic names).
@Sundy. I'll grant you that that explanation makes the most sense and that it is the only one you are willing to entertain at the moment, you'll excuse me I hope, if I try and look at all options. No matter how bizarre they may look on the face of them because with the way our Watcher was acting D2, it looks like she had no results so no need to claim.
If I were scum in this game, from the winger claim on.....
N1:Kill Winger - Recruit Agar or Parama.
N2:If recruitment failed, kill last night's target and recruit the one I didn't try last night. If recruitment successful, start normal NKs
N3:If recruitment failed, kill last night's target and try another player using most dangerous player to least dangerous player as the criteria. If recruitment successful, start normal NKs....and on and on.
You can see by that, why I (from my own POV based on who I think the strongest players in this game are) think there is a good chance Parama may have been recruited already before he was night killed. Now if I can find any scenario where it makes sense for them to bus him after recruitment, then I might go with that.
Otherwise, I'm going to have to fall back on the "killed by accident thing" as sort of a default whether I want to or not.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Jesus, TS.
Yes, there can be a separate recruiter.
More likely though, in my opinion, recruiting and night killing are TEAM (shared) powers. An early lynch of a recruiter could emasculate a scum game in this game esp. if they do happen to be only a 2 man team. Don't assume that I think are three men plus 1 traitor just because I disagree with Agar at this point. My disagreement there is a caution. It can't hurt town at all to think there are still 2 scum left if there is only 1. A correct lynch is desirable in either situation.
Think for a minute about what you said though: A player says 'Town is in a good position as I think there is only one scum left...' Oso(scum) (who according to you knows there are two scum left) sees that and says <insert what TS thinks Oso(scum) says here>
@DH and CP: My posts may seem unneeded speculation to you folks but as I have stated TWICE, Parama's NK and flip has caused me to question just about everything I was willing to believe about how this game is playing out.
Half the stuff I am posting is thinking out loud and inviting comment as I try to get this straight in my mind. In regards to how Parama got accidentally NKed by scum before recruitment. I think I showed why I thought particular players might have been at the top of their recruitment list. Do you disagree in broad terms with that list or just in particular about Parama?
This makes no fucking sense at all
That's the point I was making. Anyone want to put out a decent reason WHY Mae would watch anyone but winger? And then why she wouldn't come out with that D2? And we sure the fuck know it wasn't Cecily she saw.CP wrote:..
Had [winger] jailed Parama and Mae targeted [winger], then Mae would have found who targeted [winger] and probably would have claimed D2. If Cecily, then this would confirm her D2 actions and the theory above so she wouldn't have to claim. She would not have to claim in that case since Cecily was such a big train. I digress, however. It might be a better idea to stop with hypothetical evidence and try to find scum with what they've said.
...
Now if you think Mae watched anyone other than Winger, I'd like to hear your reasoning and I really don't want to hear "I'm not going to crawl into her head and try to think like her..." because she struck me, for the short time she was here, that she had a decent grasp of mafia and would know her highest chance of getting a positive watch was on winger.
So there are two options I can see. 1)Mae DIDN'T target Winger so there were no results. She got a negative on whoever she watched. 2)She DID watch winger and something prevented her from getting a result. Right now, from what we can see, winger is the only player we have showing that can block night actions.
winger was dead by N2 so if we think he was blocking parama or the mafia who tried to recruit him, where are Mae's results.
That is what is going on in my head at the moment.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I'm working on that.DemonHybrid wrote:Alright alright, but lets focus on the scummy connections over power role speculation. At least prioritize your actions, that's what we need right now.
Once I get straight in my head as to whether I think Parama's NK was an accident or intentional because it does reflect, at a basic level, as to what I am going to put forward.
If accidental, then I can live with the 'one scum left' and just worry about a single and throw out any player connectivity I think I see as it makes absolutely no sense to intentionally NK Parama in that scenario. Deliberately put yourself into a 6:1? I don't think so. If that happened then it is an accident.
If deliberate, that changes things because despite any number of arguments about balance, there are 2 scum left in my estimation so player connections are back in.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

That's what I'm looking for and not finding it.
I can think of one reason Ido it if there were still two scum left, none at all if there is only one scum left.might
In addition to getting a much longer post together at the moment, I'm also looking for actions that I would expect to see if Parama was intentionally NKed and they knew he was the traitor. Not finding anything worth bringing out except as an 'in case' scenario. 'In case' we flip scum today or tomorrow and the game doesn't end.
I'll include that 'in case' in that post as I can see no harm in it. If we catch and lynch a scum and the game ends, great. Then its just a bit of extra mental exercise. If we lynch scum and the game doesn't end, we need to be thinking about that now as it means weHAVEto lynch right today or tomorrow.
The beauty of it all is that whether there is one or two left, the goal remains the same: Lynch correctly as soon as possible. It either ends the game or confirms a second remaining scum. Win/Win. Whether Parama was NKed intentionally or not is pretty irrelevant to that goal except maybe as a starting on where to look but even that is unneeded as crazy was right. He didn't say it in so many words but scum should be findable without answering whether Parama was NKed by accident or on purpose.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Eh, this should have been a case/vote post but still having trouble getting trouble making sense of things. I plead tiredness.DemonHybrid wrote:..
They probably saw Parama as more of a threat, hence my theory.
@DH
To the above quote, I looked. I don't see that anyone still alive had any reason to think Parama was a direct threat them.
Aside from D1, he never starts a case on his own. The exception is Day 3. He was first vote on my wagon but even if you take his flip out of the equation, the vote he made of me wasn't a serious threat to me. The initial reasoning was weak, almost non-existent, and he never does come in to help support it. At L-1, Parama chiming back in would probably have gotten me lynched. Unlike Akira and Cecily before and RBT after, he has no easy 'out'. Mine wouldn't have been a slam dunk lynch and on my flip, everyone who was on it would have come under much greater scrutiny with their reasoning and he knew it. Added evidence, the way he switches to TS when he(TS) unvotes. Parama is the first on this as well. He's looking for easy lynches or lynches he can get started and slink away from.
He went after crazy pretty hard D1 but never went back to it so I don't see crazy as having anything to fear from him either. Especially as he takes almost all pressure off crazy when he votes me: "....some late D1/early D2 posts make me believe crazy is town..."
He has a various points, made connections: Akira/Cecily, [winger](scum) to crazy(traitor), Sundy(scum) if crazy(scum), Oso/Sundy...I may have missed one or two, he threw a lot of them around.
He's like an erratic wind, changing directions at random.
Your theory: I can find no such player as you describe, except maybe me. Certainly no one else alive had even a small reason to fear him for his case building skills this game. But, even before his flip, by the way he was posting and throwing votes around, anyone at L-1 with Parama holding the hammer would have had plenty to fear from him. So someone pro-actively taking him out of play for that reason makes some sense.
Who did you find, using your theory?My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Ok, I'll go with that (actually I did) and I need to ask this of players that have played with Parama more than once, preferably with one of those times being as scum together. I only played one game with him and read a few others with him in them and don't have the time to go re-read them in the depth I need to to answer this question myself.DemonHybrid wrote: ...

Well, I'll go with it anyway as it makes a certain amount of sense and it's all I've got for the moment. He is trying to communicate.
RVS
OMGUS generally brings attention onto you. Whether it is actually a reliable scum tell or not, people tend not to do it except in an obviously joking manner which I think is how it started.
We actually had some fun with it in the RVS, Acronyms.Parama [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2824916#p2824916]Post-20[/url] wrote:vote: Oso

That was the reason for the question. That's subtle. And elegant and shows a sharp mind if he used his initial joke to actually do that on the fly. Friggin' brilliant if he planned it pre-game. Subtle enough that I might be reading something into that isn't there. I'll roll with it though since I think it looks like he is trying to communicate to scum in general, he might have done it to a player in particular. And I think I found it.
Sundy's responses (included to get the timeline straight)Parama [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2849291#p2849291]Post-256[/url] wrote:Sundy is most certainly scum if Akira is not, btw.Parama's 260:
I didn't even call you scum, since Akira is scum, and you're only scum if he isn't, though you *could* be if he is, but Cecily _is_ scum if Akira is scum so."Akira is scum and I know it, so do you. Let's flip him and then lynch Cecily."
Sundy is still completely defensive even after that interaction, maybe missed it/maybe not. He does get onto the Akira wagon but not the Cecily one. That one happened fast, maybe he did want to be on it but couldn't get a pre-hammer position but Bub saved him the trouble of being the hammer on a townie. Which makes me feel a bit better about Bub's hammer. Not by much but he's definitely on the rise in my estimation.
VOTE: Sundy
As to his play after that, the only vote he makes is on Twistedspoon during his wagon. What I think is telling is that he doesn't vote me. I'm below the scum line in Post-376 and even though I don't agree with Bub's points against me, some are defensible. Sundy could have totally sheeped Bub's case and in the next day hash-up of the lynch, made Bub look like the bad guy (Parama could have probably done the same). The only reasons I can think he didn't do so is because of paranoia or he is unsure town (<-that is what I was initially going with when Sundy didn't vote me: That he was unsure town). In light of a re-read, I don't think that anymore.
He reacted way out of whack to others in the thread about my speculation on Parama being deliberately killed as well. Everyone else who commented on it (including TS who voted me over that) didn't display near the alarm(?) that thought did to him. TS thought I was displaying knowledge I shouldn't have, CP and DH basically said,"Unneeded speculation. or I understand why it (Parama's NK and flip) has thrown you off...now get your head back in the game."My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Ah, you mis-understand, I think. Pehaps I stated my initial premise badly, for doing a re-read.Sundy wrote:...
Oso, you don't need all that detail on Parama communicating about the traitor. Do a word search of his ISO for "traitor," that should tell you all you need to know w/r/t hints.
...
I didn't go back to get confirmation he was the traitor, the dead post does that. I went back looking for some sort of pattern because I had dismissed Parama's behavior as simply being erratic/very opportunistic because he was scum(this game) and because of playstyle. He displayed that behavior in the game I was with him in before, he was town there. You made a similar comment yourself in Post-112 which exactly echoed my thinking right up to, and for a time after, he showed up as dead scum.
I went to see if what I thought was general erratic behavior, actually wasn't. As the traitor, he has 100% knowledge of the teams. Only thing he doesn't know going into confirmation is PR distribution. My last post is a part of what I found. My determination is that he WAS trying to communicate with scum. In general most certainly. At a particular player? Maybe, if it could be done fairly transparently to the players who had no knowledge of the teams but would, from his POV, have been fairly obviously to the person he was talking to...
Parama: I find over-confidence suspect in general but this player displays it regardless of alignment. Hence the ambiguity of my suspicion.
The whole point of the first part of my last post (before the vote) was to show that I think he did try, and to point out the player he did it to.
The second to last part of that post is to give my read on you up until that point in the game. I was fully relieved that you didn't vote me there and I gave you some points for it. You had pretty much a dead neutral read to me except for the tag "doesn't post as much as everyone else". RBT was in that category as well. That post bumped you up into 'unsure/cautious town'. Point being, I wanted to show why you hadn't been under any suspicion by me before the re-read.
The last. More thinking out loud on my part. Up that point people had disagreed, for various reasons, on my NK theory. Even to the point of one player (TS) voting me over it. But, when I made that post, you were the only one to show an outright aversion(?) (<-Having trouble coming with the right word on that one) to the thought. I can't explain why that bothers me, but it does.
Conclusion:- One remaining scum theory a go.
- Parama did try to communicate his traitor status to Sundy.
- Sundy missed it or didn't miss it but something happened to make him think Parama wasn't the traitor. Explaining why Parama is (dead Mafia Traitor) by MISTAKE.
- Don't see my vote changing anytime today.

Simple, I have trouble with the obvious in case you haven't noticed it yet this game. "Can't see the forest because of all them damn trees around." is a criticism I have had directed at me more than once in my life.Sundy wrote:Alrighty then Oso. Let's go.
???Oso wrote:I didn't go back to get confirmation he was the traitor, the dead post does that.
I'm not saying you needed confirmation he was a Mafia traitor. I'm saying your theory that Parama's OMGUS acronym was a "subtle," "elegant" and "frigin' brilliant" clue that he was traitor MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE because Parama made actual signals in ISO #4:
---
[ISOs]
---
Given all of this evidence, how could you POSSIBLY decide that Parama's OMGUS acronym meant something, and ignore all of these bread crumbs???????? Why make something up out of thin air when the evidence is right before you?
I thought those ISOs were Parama being Parama which leads right into your next point:
Pre-Parama flip. I was thinking he was town.
For reference my "Top Group" was Prob Town. It had AGar, TS and Parama in it.Oso [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2865161#p2865161]Post-383[/url] wrote:..
Only Parama has what I would call an "Oh shit" moment about the Cecily lynch when he answers your point:
#20: Declares Cecily to be scum and Twisted to be town, this eventually leads to Cecily's death (-1)
town can be wrong. I still stand by the theory that Cecily was an antimiller, personally.
It's a small moment but it is there. That is why he is in top group of my list rather than the middle or bottom groups. That and his play in this game isn't saying 'scum' to me.
..
Post Parama flip: My thoughts,"Shit, I didn't see that coming."I had thought his erratic voting was indicative of the only playstyle I had seen from him up to that point. He was town in that game. Faced with a scum flip, I had reverse that and think"...ok, so he does the same things as scum too."So I did not think Parama was scum pre-flip. I didn't even consider that he was anything but meta-neutral in his playstyle post flip until DH said that maybe his being erratic wasn't erratic at all. That is part of what prompted the re-read of Parama. Him and CP both saying telling to me to calm down a bit and start thinking again was the other part.
As to knowledge of him knowing 100% the team lay out re:who is town and who is scum? The Wiki: http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Traitor. RBT I think it was, mentioned it earlyish in the game as well.
I don't care what you think. I do care that the rest of the players understand why and how I went from no previously voiced suspicion at all to certain scum.
As to the speculation being a scum-slip? I'll throw some of your tactics back at you? Why would I, as scum, point out that we deliberately killed our traitor knowing he was traitor when AGar, in the first post of the day, states that he thinks town is in a good position.
You asked me earlier what reason I could possible put forth that would explain it. That's it. Kill the traitor, get the town complacent, say "Man we got it whipped now...". The short answer is that I wouldn't even introduce that if I knew that Parama had been deliberately killed, I'd have agreed wholeheartedly with AGar.
That's why I finally came to the conclusion it was a mistake that Parama was killed rather than deliberate. A kill of a townie last night puts us in lylo today. 4:3. So the initial shock of having Parama, a player I'd have thought would be a good player for an early recruitment attempt, show up dead immediately triggered a 'knee-jerk' "No way in hell that happened by accident" response.
It was a mistake because the person he tried to tell (you Sundy), didn't pick up on it or something interfered with recruitment, and you killed him by mistake.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

Double Post.
I would like to take this time to point out to everyone that in Post-574 Sundy questions my methods, thinking and my motives but doesn't address my main point.
That Parama is talking directly to Sundy here:
Agree or disagree with my thinking process all you want or my methods for reaching my conclusions but there is no disputing the fact that it led me to that post.Parama [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2849327#p2849327]Post-260[/url] wrote:I didn't even call you scum, since Akira is scum, and you're only scum if he isn't, though you *could* be if he is, but Cecily _is_ scum if Akira is scum so.
Now knowing that Parama is the traitor, anyone else want to give an explanation for that post other than Parama trying to tell Sundy something?My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I never said nothin' back to him. You don't want mess with no freak that's searchin' around that hard for blood.-

I've already claimed here, TS
Did you expect it change between then and now?Oso [url=https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?p=2862763#p2862763]Post-369[/url] wrote:..

As a modification of that post, you can put town reads everyone but Sundy. One scum left means everybody else has to be town, even you Bub.
Sundy gets the ObvScum category all to himself.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

It was a caution. The only claims in play right now are yours and mine. Both VT.
crazy, Bub, DH, Sundy and AGar are still unclaimed.
I agree that 3 original mafia is less likely than 2 original from a general balance standpoint, but until you get everyone claimed or the game ends, setting that in stone could conceivably bite you in the ass.
I'm not going to soften this. The reason you were left alive, even as a confirmed townie, is not because Parama was more dangerous or a better player than you are (both are true) but because you have demonstrated the following:- You are new, or at least give that impression. I don't know if ms is the first place you have ever played mafia but anyone looking at your play would assume very limited experience.
- You are easily confused in regards to the game of Mafia. Comes with being a new player.
- You have shown a marked tendency lately to attack anyone who make a posts with your name in it that doesn't have TS=Town in it somewhere or even hints that you are something other than town.
"Jeez, TS. He thinks you are scum, let's lynch him." and you are going to go along. You are specifically being saved, by scum, for that or similar reasons.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

The only scenario I could see that had Parama killed deliberately was if there were 2 scum left besides him.
AS I STATED SEVERAL TIMES. That Parama could be killed accidentally before the mafia tried a recruitment made absolutely no sense to me. It shouldn't make any sense initially to anyone who has played with him or read any game that had him in it. All that speculation about a 3:1 vs a 2:1 is me trying to get that fact straight in my head. DH saw what the problem I was having with that, CP did as well.
They weren't adverse to the fact I brought it up. It was obvious that were buying it but their response was to try and calm me down aboot it and get me back into the game with thinking that might actually help. They succeeded.
In an initial 2:1 start, killing Parama deliberately makes no sense at all as half the team is already dead (Akira). In an initial 3:1 start, killing Parama on purposemake sense in one specific scenario even if one scum is already dead.might
On giving some thought on the one I thought might make sense, even it failed because keeping Parama alive puts us in a LyLo today (4:3) with a good chance of no one realizing it is. Ista win with a mis-lynch and town going "WTF"
Soit makes no sense to kill to kill Parama under any circumstances last night. So, Parama's death was a mistake. Had scum been able to figure out Parama's status before last night (no matter how many are left) he would have been recruited rather than killed.in this game
Given all that above, the 'one scum left' point of view makes sense from a balance standpoint. The 'two scum left' viewpoint really doesn't except that it is not a bad thing to keep in the back of your head just in case.
That's what all that did for me. Between my thinking and posting my thoughts, as confusing as they might to you folks right now looking back, a couple of players told to calm down and think. That's what I did.
I kept the 'two scum left' in the back of my mind and re-read as if I was looking for a single scum. No connections to anyone still alive. Just connections or interactions to dead players. I found you and that post of Parama's (Post-260..I have the post number memorized by now. Another couple of posts and I'll probably have the damn URL memorized too.)
You are scum independent of a connection to anyone still breathing in the game.My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.
