Actually, no.
Because this is athemed game, it is actually possible for me to have information relating to BlenBlen. Which is one reason why -- rather than assuming Tuncali "has no idea how this game is played," as you claim -- I asked him his level of experience.
5.)I find it curious that you suggesting somebody with a join date of Janaury 17, 2011 has "no idea how the game is played" when your own join date is March 5, 2011 (i.e. nine days ago). Can I take it you're an alt / otherwise experienced, then?"Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

You seem to be discounting Day Roles, as well as roles that start the game with information. But that is neither here nor there.

Anyway I'd like to think that someone postulating that you might be a cop with a night 0 investigation and with the ability to share your results in night 0 is probably very new. Didn't make it any less amusing to read tho
Amrun, I would like four votes for the following four reasons:
1.)mozamis
2.)BlenBlen
3.)Tuncali
4.)To badger non-posters (currently Magnetic & ender241)

I only regret that I only have but one vote to give. We just hit page 3. Acting like you are a fountain of virtue (by speaking of patience and equity) is really not getting you anywhere in my book.

See, this is exactly the reason why I need more votes. I want to vote other people besides you, but you're just not letting me. Why are you "assuming there are only 2 scum" in a thirteen player game?mozamis, Post 58 wrote:Assuming there are only 2 scum, why would you want to vote for four people? best to keep the paranoia to a minimum.
I am also not amused with your post that boils down to asking us if we should soft-claim a part of our roles.

Since you've brought up "IIoA" a second time just now in Post 80, Truant, please explain to me (i) what you think "IIoA" is, and (ii) how you think it applies to Meransiel.Truant, Post 55 wrote:Yeah, I believe it's commonly referred to as IIoA.
Unvote
Vote: Meransiel
I have always thought of "Information without Analysis" to be more of a scumtell when somebody makes a post thatlooksimpressive (because of the amount of work it seems that player has put into making their post), but once scrutinized, the post does not actually give that player's personal opinion on anything pertinent.
Meransiel, in my opinion, was making a "policy" argument; which almost by definition is not going to contain an "analysis" on players. My problems with his posts, on the other hand, are (i) I don't think the policy is applicable a few days after a game starts, and (ii) I think Meransiel was using the argument to make himself look Town by talking of justice and fairness."Logic?

2.)scotmany12, why did you accuse mozamis of voting me for a “basically OMGUS” reason? kunkstar7, why do you apparently agree with that? Seems to me like mozamis’ vote was for the reasoning behind my Meransiel vote, if anything.
3.)Meransiel, you said here:

You know, starting off the game by suggesting I lied to you about a "promise," or used "weaselly legalese," is a pretty subtle way of trying to get players to have a negative connotation of me. In any case, I suggest you read back on your AIM log: I specifically said I wouldMrBuddyLee wrote:I just checked the first post to see if I was in the right game, and to see if CrashTextDummie had also replaced in as PJ promised. I think PJ may have lied to me, or at least used weaselly legalese, but I'll stick around anyway.tryto pitch the idea to CrashTextDummie, which was immediately rejected (hence why I said it was a short-lived pitch), and then lamented that itcouldhave been awesome if both you and CTD had replaced in."Logic?

1.)OhGodMyLife, for being so “excited” (more than “any game evar”) about the game and claiming to prefer playing as Town, your posts have not given me the impression that you are scumhunting very much.
2.)Meransiel, when did you ask for Magnetic to be prodded? Please specify around what post in the game you asked for this prod.

1.)Meransiel, I'm not asking you to quote anything. I am asking you at what point in the game yousentyour PM. Specifically, I would like you to tell me around what post of the game you asked for the prod. Did you ask around Post 50? Post 75? Post 100? No quoting involved. Don't ignore this, or try to skirt it again.
2.)mozamis, did you have to find your post where you voted me before you could write up Post 160? Or did you write it from memory?
In any case:
->a.)I did not vote Meransiel for “being patient.” I voted him because his post looked more like posturing than helpful. His speaking of equity and patience in the first couple page of the game – basically, saying that I should not place my single vote, incapable of lynching somebody by itself – made no sense given the surrounding circumstances, and seemed like an attempt to make himself look Town by saying something he believes will sound Townish.
->b.)Further, implicit in his soapbox speech was the presumption that Meransiel has played through a fair deal (or read through a fair deal) of mafia games before, because he was making generalizations about how mafia games are played. But because Meransiel had already told us that he is a new player (and was only able to call Tuncali “new” because he seemed comparatively rawer to the players in Meransiel’s sole Newbie Game), it seems inconsistent to claim to be new on one breath, but then talk as if you are a veteran on how mafia games pan out in the next breath."Logic?

Meransiel, MrBuddyLee is completely right. You had changed your vote from mozamis to scotsman12 in Post 102 on Friday evening, saying you were "sure" he was scum. Then you changed your vote to MrBuddyLee on Sunday morning, saying you were not really suspicious of the player you were voting. So please, do explain."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

And by the way, Meransiel, the reason I wanted to know the time-frame of your requested prod was to check if you had selectively chosen to request a prod on one player (Magnetic) over another player -- e.g., ender241, who had not posted until page 3 of the game. Even though I cannot verify your request, there were answers you could have given that would not have reflected well on you. As it happens, Post 80 is an acceptable time-frame."Logic?

That's a fair response. Would you mind explaining again why you think scotmany12 (I know I wrote scotsman12 earlier, too, sorry about that) is scum? In the post you voted for scotmany12, you have five quotes from implosion, but not a single for scotmany12, so it was a bit of a strange twist of direction that seemed disjointed from the rest of your post.Meransiel wrote:No, what YOU don't understand is that in post 113 my vote is written on mozamis.
I never thought scotsman could be town."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

was that post serious? Because it looks like it's meant to be serious. MrBuddyLee was pretty clearly joking when he said his predecessor was scummy. It literally would only make sense for scum to say that if they read their predecessor's posts and thought "dear God, this guy was scummy."
You are basically accusing somebody of replacing in,not reading their predecessor's posts, and yet (without actually knowing if their predecessor was scummy) saying that their predecessor was scummy. Thereasoningbehind your "scum-tell" of calling your predecessor "scummy" isnot applicableto this game precisely because MrBuddyLee's predecessor was not scummy because he never posted; therefore, there is no reason for MrBuddyLee to compensate for Magnetic's play.
I find it hard to believe you (and apparently at least two others) actually buy into this thought-process. Just... wow."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Okay, time to spice things up.
mozamis, explain in detail why you apparently suspect (i) MrBuddyLee and (ii) myself, and (iii) why you are defending Meransiel. Do not simply quote your posts, or shrug this off. If you do not explain, I will DayVig you.
I would not suggest asking "are you joking?" with your next post. I am starting to get an itchy trigger-finger. This is your one and only fair warning."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

If anybody doesn't post for four days (96 hours) without giving V/LA notice, you are also subject to being DayVigged today. Lurking towns are losing towns, so let's just avoid the whole "I-just-won't-post-today"-mentality if we can avoid it, hmm?"Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Ding Ding!
MrBuddyLee gets a cookie. I half-figured mozamis would take the opportunity to decline to answer my questions, even though I specifically worded my questions to be theexact same three questionsMrBuddyLee asked two days ago.
I am quite amused that mozamis claims he would respond better to my questions if I were bullying less, and yet he has completely failed to answer MrBuddyLee's identical -- and obviouslynonbullying -- questions. Contradiction, much?
That's strike one and strike two, bucko. One more strike and you're outta here."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Oh, MrBuddyLee! You just can't pass up a joke, can you?MrBuddyLee wrote:Who do you guys think petroleumjelly should vig today? Maybe if we ask nicely, he'll handle it democratically.
~
Really displeased with this game, because it almost feels like I joined a Newbie Game at this point. I've debated on whether or not I should even bother to "explain why I claimed" (because I am certainlynotin an "IC" mood, especially when the benefits of my claim are patently obvious), but I decided I will at least say this:
I claimed my role because I was already going tousemy role today at some point anyways -- which is effectively the same as claiming, since I have to post my kill in-thread. And if I know that I am going to claim my role, I might as well use it while I'm alive as leverage to get players to post content. Don't like it? Tough noogies. You're not the one with the DayVig ability.
Of those who have voted or claimed to suspect me for my "bullying," I haven't seen anybody put forth even the barest suggestion that I am beingscummy. Similarly, "controlling the Town" is not scummy; at best, it's a lazy label.
In any case, I am not "controlling the Town" because I am not telling people (i) what to think or (ii) who to vote. Rather, I am trying to get people to think for themselves, and to explain what they think in-thread. Forcing scum to explain suspicions that don't really exist tends to (surprisingly) be a good way to catch scum. I am basically using my role as if I am an aggressive Moderator who demands activity from his players."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Strikes to OhGodMyLife & BlenBlen (or their replacements). You are now eligible to be DayVigged if your activity drops again.
Meransiel, if you insist one more time that I DayVig you, I might very well do it. For somebody who just said “you should never claim scum,” you similarly should not tempt a guy with a daykill."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

PROTECTOR COLUMN mozamis Meransiel Truant nopointinactingup scotmany12 mozamis n/a YES n n n Meransiel YES n/a n n YES Truant YES YES n/a n n nopointinactingup YES YES n n/a n scotmany12 n YES n n n/a
MrBuddyLee, this is a table of the "protections" you pointed out in Post 188. Seeing as you mention so many supposed connections between players and mozamis / Meransiel so much, it feels rather disjointed that you left your vote on OhGodMyLife after that post. It's also curious how the "protections" seem to revolve around the same players in the game. Your post almost comes to the point of just assuming mozamis and Meransiel are scum; and yet your vote is currently on OhGodMyLife for -- as far as I can tell -- pretty much focusing on mozamis and Meransiel and asking others to answer questions.
In fact, your entire Post 188 seems to read, when boiled down, as:
Can’t say I am impressed now that I’ve had more time to digest your post.MrBuddyLee, Abridged wrote:Everybody who agrees with me is Town: high-five! Everybody who attacked me – mozamis, Truant, nopointinactingup, and Meransiel – is scum. And anybody who even suggests that any of those four are Town or fails to vote them (because they instead voted somebody else) are scum trying to protect their partner.
You also did not seem to squeeze the same information from the same actions. You seem to either analyze votes as meaning "not scum with the player they are voting" sometimes, and "there is a connection between who this player isnotvoting" other times. On the whole, it looks like you are looking for "non-connections" for the players you are likely not going to attack (like me), and connections for players youarelikely to attack.
So for starters: what is your opinion of Meransiel? Please explain it “in detail” (as you have kindly asked others to do).
Unvote: mozamis, Vote: MrBuddyLee."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

First, I did not vote MrBuddyLee for "one post." I do not feel like I have to listimplosion, Post 295 wrote:petroleumjelly, if one post is the only thing of MBL's that you find scummy, why change your vote to him from obvscum-mozamis?everyreason I am voting for somebody; mafia is largely a game of persuasion and pressure, and I feel that focusing on MrBuddyLee'sscummiestpost is appropriate.
Second, I am not convinced mozamis is scum, let alone "obvscum." I reread the entire game this morning (when I wrote up my MrBuddyLee vote), and although I think mozamis (and Meransiel) have done some fairly silly things, I am not convinced they are actually motivated by scummy reasons.
Third, I have good reasons to not vote the largest bandwagon at any time, or to switch my vote at the drop of a hat. In particular, if there is a hammer vote, I might die before being able to kill anybody myself. Furthermore, when I Dayvig the vote count will be reset, so it is even less important to put somebody at "L-1" or "L-2" in this game."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

MrBuddyLee:
Your giant post essentially attacked people for "protecting" mozamis and Meransiel. Despite your assertion that this does mean M&M are scum, your post nevertheless points out how they protect each other, and youconstantlyinsinuate they are scummy.
: You accuse nopointinactingup of "protecting" mozamis/Meransiel because while he says they are "obvscum" on one hand, he is voting for you. But you are pretty much doing the exact same thing by voting for OhGodMyLife over mozamis / Meransiel, when your post bleeds "M&M are scum and their partner is protecting them." Yet if M&M are scum and their partners are protecting them, it seems rather preposterous to be voting for a player who is not protecting them.Example
Frankly, trying to say that "protections" don't necessitate scum while going through the trouble of pointing out four to five people who are "protecting" mozamis / Meransiel is justnot a credible response; your post oozes with the presumption that M&M are scum and that their scumpartners are protecting them.
~
As a note, I also checked up on OhGodMyLife's posting, and although he did post in one game on Wednesday, it was also a single, and short, post. Contrast that with the past two weekends where he posted quite a bit. This just suggests to me that he just has more time on the weekends, and that he indeed found his other game, which has been running longer than this game, more pressing to post in. Nonetheless, he got a strike from me on principle in case he was partially ducking out, but I am not about to hang my hat on it when there is an equally (if not more) obvious and reasonable explanation."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Sorry, but no. I don't want to exchange walls of text. My point is that your post in the whole reads as "Meransiel and mozamis are scummy, and therefore so is everybody who protects them." You also attack every single person who attacked you. And then you vote OhGodMyLife, who was (i) not attacking you, and (ii) not protecting mozamis and Meransiel. Your OhGodMyLife vote feels disjointed, and your recent posts have not convinced me otherwise.
And as it should be clear, I try to readeverypost to see if I think they are written by town or scum. I think your post was a pretty bad attempt at subtly pushing the game to focus on M&M while you voted OhGodMyLife (for doing the exact same thing, except he was not being subtle about it.)
~
PPE: BlenBlen looks liked he just plain flaked from the site after being lynched in his Newbie Game. So no, I don't particularly find him replacing out as particularly scummy, or "scummier" than OhGodMyLife for flaking."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

And just to be super-duper clear:
Savvy scum know how to push games in the direction they prefer while being subtle about it.
OhGodMyLife basically said, "Hey guyz, am I the only one who think M&M are scum together?" Although I'm not particularly fond of the question, it was probably already on most people's minds. (I know I was certainly wondering about it about that time.) And given that I know OGML is a complete lush, I can believe he was probably drunk when he posted it. For reference: OGML was the guy was going to run Mixology Mafia, but then he flaked from the site. If that gives you any insight on his daily habits / playing habits.
MrBuddyLee (you), on the other hand, essentially write a focus that technically only mentions scummy things mozamis and Meransiel do a "handful" of times... and yet scummy thingsotherplayers do somehow seem to link back to mozamis and Meransiel in the end. The overalleffectof your post was focused on mozamis and Meransiel. Basically, it reads to me as a more subtle attempt to keep the focus where you like while you silently keep your vote on OhGodMyLife. And in my opinion, subtle play has a great tendency to point to scum play."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

MBL,
The long and short: I think your long post was an attempt at subtlety. And Townspeople do not have to be subtle. I should know, because I use subtlety all the time when I'm scum, so I know to be on the lookout for it when I'm dealing with an experienced player. It's really one of the few ways tocatchan experienced player, because it's not like you're going to make a blatant mistake in your posting if you are scum.
As I said before, I amnotgoing to parse every word you have said. Mafia is more than words on a page; it's the intent behind the words (just like somebody can say something that is completely true, and yet still be misleading). The overalleffectof your post was "Meransiel and mozamis are scum, and players are protecting them" and then you leave your vote on OhGodMyLife. Saying "I am not scumhunting" when I am pretty clearly attackingyou(and further, I have elicited ridiculously long, responsible posts from you as a result of my attack) is also pretty stupid."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

By the way, if anybody gets hammered before I can use my DayVig, you will earn my eternal wrath. In fact, I am going to go so far as to say: if you hammer before I DayVig, you get lynched (or DayVigged, if we're both still alive) on Day Two.
MBL, quit your whole "I'm Town, I'm Town" in your posts. Not helping. And I'm not impressed with your whole "whoelsedo you think is scum?" schtick you have going. I (and others) don't have to solve the entire game on Day One just to lynch somebody. When (and if) I want to diversity my attacks on different players, I will. If I attack one player exclusively, it's because I find it the most enlightening at that point. The more I talk about everybody, the more my points are diluted and lost in the smoke of battle."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

If I knew who I was going to Vig, I would just Vig them. So no; no hints.
And in fact, that is one reason why I do not think it is particularly good idea for me to list out everybody I am considering Vigging, because then the game will almost naturally start revolving around those players (much like how Kingmaker games have historically run). Better to keep the field open until I find it necessary to close it."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

mozamis:
Near the beginning of the game, you proposed a 2-man scum group. When asked about this, you replied:
This does not strike me as a very credible response, given:mozamis, Post 71, March 16 wrote: Am i wrong to assume 2 scum then? Is more normal in a thirteen player game?
->a.)You had been playing in a 3-man mafia group in Mini 1133; and
->b.)You had also been playing in another 3-man mafia group in Mini 1126.
Would you mind explaining how this sequence of posts came about, and why?
I have been rereading you, and actually been trying to give you the benefit of the doubt (I also skimmed your posts in your other games), but this was really what popped out to me after giving you a closer look. I hate to make you feel like you get lynched early all the time, but I have to say, this looks to me like a pretty substantial slip, and one that was probably easy to make.
I am also going to note that Frogs 1 had 2 Mafia and 1 Traitor; so even if this is a slip from mozamis (which is definitely where I am leaning right now), it does not necessarily mean there are two scum teams.
And to re-emphasize: nobody even put mozamis at L-1, or he can just hammer himself to deny me my DayVig."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Also, I can now read Post 71 as a plaintive cry to the Mod:
Answer being yes: you probably have a Traitor. Who I will start to look for after I DayVig you.mozamis, Post 71, abridged wrote:Mod, don't scum usually get more than one partner in a 13-player game?
I would suggest claiming your role, but I'll be honest in saying it probably won't help you. I am rarely very "confident" about people being scum, but the more I think about this situation, the more it seems like a given that you have to be scum. There is a no way a Townie with your background (i.e. being part of two separate 3-man scum groups) would have assumed a 2-man scum group inthisgame."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

1.)
Amrun, why did you post this?Amrun, Post 301 wrote: A dayvig that screws with vote mechanics? Sound pretty hax if it's true.
2.)MrBuddyLee, coming back at you. You claim that when people have “obvious scum” but then vote somebody else, they are “protecting” the obvious scum. This has been bugging me for a while.
If somebody does something suspicious in a recent post, then it is certainly not uncommon to vote for them immediately even if you think somebody is more suspicious. The reason is obvious: asking a question (or claiming to be suspicious of somebody) without a corresponding vote is not nearly as forceful as saying “this is scummy” followed by a vote.
Mafia is not necessarily a game of “keeping your vote on the scummiest player at all times,” which seems to be how you are trying to read this game. Mafia is a game of doing what is necessary to weed out the scum. Which often involves moving your vote around.
I have to say, your posts are just not reading like Town to me. It seems like you’re just calling people terrible players whenever they attack you. I have to sympathize with mozamis: it certainly does seem like you’re being more of an ass this game than I remember you normally being.
When’s the last time you’ve been? Would you mind linking me to that game?
Did you constantly people out as being terrible, dimwits, etc., in Oldy Mafia? I’m not about to read that monstrosity of a game just to try to meta you.
3.)nopointinactingup, after rereading your posts, you really sound like a broken record. Mind giving your opinions on some players whose name does not start with “M”?
4.)Darkstrike_11, your Post 313 continually bugs me for the same reason.
Essentially, your first several points are written in the past-tense; as if you wrote themafter you had already read.But the remainder of your points are in the present tense, as if you are commenting as you read. Tell me true: did you edit your first few points after you had already done some reading?
5.)Meransiel, why did you go from “nobody hammer mozamis” to “I hereby declare that I will hammer unless petro posts”?
6.)MrBuddyLee, getting tired of stuff like this. You attacked OhGodMyLife for saying “isn’t it obvious that mozamis and Meransiel are scum?” Then you attacked nopointinactingup “for improperly tying M&M together.”
Yet you haveconstantlypointed out that you thought Meransiel and mozamis were scum, and you haveconstantlypointed out how they have protected each other (and not only that, but how others have been “protecting” Meransiel and mozamis).
This is exactly what I was talking about earlier. You look like a complete hypocrite. You call M&M out for being scum, and for protecting each other, and then you use that as your basis of attack on others.

And why, exactly, would you be trying to "force" the most obviously Town player in the game to post? It's not as if I was avoiding the game.Meransiel wrote:

Yes. And I still am. It makes literally no sense that a player with mozamis' background would "assume 2 scum" when his experience of being in two 3-man scum groups is completely contradictory to that assumption. Even though mozamis flipped Town, I am convinced this type of contradiction will lead to scumDarkstrike_11, Post 525 wrote:PJ, were you surprised at moz's flip?farmore often than not.
MrBuddyLee, whether or not you are Town, I am disliking your language.
Unless you are going to call me scum (or suggest I can actually be scum at this point), please refrain from calling me "dishonest," etc. I am pretty obviously Town, and I want to find scum. And believe it or not, I havenotliked your posts this game. Whether or not I am able toexpressmy dislike well does not make me dishonest. You can say I am reading your posts "wrong" all you like, but your responses have all been adding an element of "bad intent" to my case on you. Overall, your posts leave a bad taste in my mouth. Usually, your posts seem more pointed and inquisitive; but this game, it seems like many of your posts ever-so-subtly paint other players in a bad light, for pretty much no good reason that I can see."Logic?

I am an idiot. I apologize -- the "minus one to lynch" addition is not related to this game. I cannot go into detail given site rules.
Since I don't know if I will be back by deadline tonight, I will hammer since there somebody obviously meant to hammer.

By my count, kunkstar7 is at L-1. Seeing as a mislynch puts us in LyLo tomorrow, I'm not quite sure why people are so keen on a quicklynch today.
For the record, my role-name is also Unicorn, but I doubt kunkstar7 is lying about his role-name. As I recall, Shanba also gave multiples of the same role name in Frogs 1 Mafia with different roles. Also for the record, I have already ranted at Shanba for the whole "poison" flavor used in my kill -- especially since it makes no sense whatsoever for a Unicorn to kill with poison.
Is there any reason we've already had two people assuming this is a "1 for 1" situation despite CES not actually claiming anything?"Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Yes, I imagined CES was either implying role information or pulling a gambit. But currently if kunkstar7 flips Town, I don't see anything that points to CES being a "liar" or necessarily scum. So it doesn't look like a "1 for 1" to me just yet.
And as if it weren't patently obvious, I am 1-Shot. Or else I probably would have just killed kunkstar7 upon visiting the thread."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-
