this has been addressed, please read my postZONEACE wrote:oh, and CKD your attempt to make me look scummy by not voting for known scum (kison over Peers/DAS) looks even more ridiculous when you look at the fact you yourself are the SAME THING RIGHT NOW.

interesting...so you are saying that you will test Cicero tonight?Peers wrote:But if you lynch me, how will you test Cicero's Bulletproofness? Or find out if anyone else is wolf or not? Lynch me now, and it's two kills tonight... lynch the wolf, and there's only one, and you know who to lynch tomorrow...NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

well I thought whome was scummy, I think I even mentioned I wanted to see whome tested...TheHermit wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't we tell Peers to test someone for wolfiness yesterday, and then his mafia decided to kill somebody else? If our "tester" can't be trusted to provide accurate results, then he is no good to us as a tester. That he COULD be used to test wolfiness is irrelevant; he WON'T, and that makes him a liability. That's just my opinion on these proceedings.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

Well, i just finished writing out a snarky repsonse when I realize I was being daft...For some reason, I thought that if it went down to 4 people (2 scum 2 town) that the scum would win do to endgame...but it doesnt work that way because they can not NK you..cicero wrote:Well - the last wolf could choose to do them a favor and eat me but why would he?
If there's something else I'm missing I need to know.
so disregard that comment..I guess the mafia does need to concinve us to vote you...NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

so tell me Peers, why were you acting the way that you were in that game?
because it looked town?
why do town act the way they do, because they are town...
so you want us to hang Kison based on your actions in another game tha have nothing to do with anything? you understand how silly you sound I hope. Given that argument, we should hang ZA today because he acted much like you before we found out you were scum...again, that is a silly case by itself.
Do you have another case? Have you meta-ed Kison? anything?NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

Kison is the wolf, BTW.
oh right, let us know that you think ZA is town...why are you going out on a limb for ZA when you are not suppose to know his alignment?

well you think we should let Peers help with our choices...I want to hear why you think that based on Peers "case" against Kison that Kison is the wolf.Twomz wrote:
If you want Peers' explanation ask Peers... I'm not gonna go put my words in someone else's mouth, even if they are mafia.Peers wrote: I still say Kison's acting very SK/'Lone Wolf' like. He's matchign my play in a previous late-game where I was SK. Twomz and ZA are very much doing the "Townie desperate for the game not to end tonight" thing, where Sikario and Kanaga are playing it amazingly quiet.
I still say Kison's our wolf.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

at this point, I am thinking the mafia team is Za, Peers, and Twomz...
ooba is cleared in my mind...
but no one else really is cleared...I have my doubts about Cicero's claim, but it seems ballsy to be fake the claim when there actually could be such role in the game. Unless of course Peers is telling the truth (doubtful) and there is only 2 mafia...then the BV claim could be fake..
just dont know.
going to reread thehermit, sikario, kison, hjati, and thehermit (and who they replaced) to see if I can get a read on them...NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

1.) I thought I addressed this today...I would rather take out a scum group today to lessen the NKs tonight.Hjallti wrote:1.)I hoped to see some discussion about my request to vote Peers over the Lone Wolf, but almost no one really went in to that, so I see no reason to change my vote. (I hoped there would be some mistake in my analysis because it was pretty bad news.)
curiouskarmadog wrote: Unless of course Peers is telling the truth (doubtful) and there is only 2 mafia...then the BV claim could be fake..2.)Although this is the minor hypothetical situation, the further conclusion from this is that Peers and cicero are actually the mafia.
2.) that would be the logical jump here....think the claim would have been risky and really unneeded at that time for mafia...so it is doubtful. Cicero could also be the lone wolf as well. He claimed BV to explain why the mafia targeting him would not work and persuade the mafia from further targeting him.. Again another risky move, but I need to also read the timing of his claim. Could have been a desperate wolf move, dont know.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

worse case.
right now it is probably 2:1:4 (mafia:wolves:town)
if we kill peers, and both groups get a night kill that targets town tonight it will be.
1:1:2 tomorrow
we lynch one of the scum group it will be 1:2 (scum group:town) going into the night and then the next day it is a rockpaper toss up.
Cicero, you sure you want to lynch peers today?..or maybe we can scum hunt a bit first.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

best case:
we are at 2:1:4
we take out peers then one of the scum group (most likely mafia) screw up and target the last wolf..that will put us at 1:1:3 tomorrow...
at any rate, this is the last day that I am alive...please let me make the most of it..
going to read a bit.....
also, glad ZA is gone.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

Hmm... this makes a whole lot of sense...Peers wrote:Hehe. I just realized something.

Vote: Cicero
The town's not willing to lynch me, so you're arranging for a mislynch. One wolf, one mafia, 5 townies, a mislynch and two nightkills put us at 1:1:2, and then the town will obviously lynch me since they know I'm scum, giving the game to the wolves.
Bulletproof vest, my arse. You're wolf.unvote.
Gonna wait for more comments before voting again.

Why I think Ca is our last wolf. Nothing that Hermit can defend.
1.) Voted and attacked Karen and then attacked me for saying that a.) her lynch was too easy and b.) for saying I wanted to hang scum not people that are acting anti-town.
2.) Voted Greenday Day 2, labeled him the most scummiest person in the game without providing reasons. Unvoted Greenday (-2) at the urge of DAS. Completely changing his style (quick lynch is now not good for the town)…where was that view Day 1? Where was that view Day 2 when he defended his attack of Karen and until DAS said something? If you continue reading Day 2, CA has an obvious link to DAS that he defends.
3.) Day 3. promises to reread and attacks blight for voting ZA. When I call him on his lack of content, he admits he has not reread. He was obviously trying to just look town without caring to reread. Never bothered to look for scum.
4.) Slip up.
He knew that the Cephrir lynch was going to be a mislynch before it happened.ChocolateAttack wrote: If you don't want to play then ask for replace, 2 towns already got lynch. I dont' want to see another miss lynch or player like, because it just piss me off.
5.)
Attacks twomz for wanting a roleclaim for TAR, but doesn’t post when I said I would claim..or anyone else.ChocolateAttack wrote: Why are you so eager for Tar to role claim? any more role claim is not good. We should stay as anonymous as possible due to WW and mafias can cross kill.
No more claing guys.
Night 2 seriously gonna be a mess.
Vote: Twomz
CA had an obvious link to Tar and DAS…will read on Hermit to see if I can find anything.
As time permits, I review of Hermit and Twomz (as mafia, and more obvious)NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

Hermit has not been here long, have not found anything on him.
WIll attempt to get my case out there for twomz in the next 48 hours...If I am right about Hermit, I hope when I get offed tonight you follow my lead about twomz.
Although..it should be stated that I was wrong about Ceph...but hey, I nailed ZA.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

I just dont have the time, if you want to lynch hermit..do it.
The twomz case is much like my case agianst ZA..the short of it is his votes and his interaction with Peers and ZA..anyone can pull up his posts and see what I am talking about....I will probably have time for this on Friday...NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

Twomz is mafia with Peers and ZA.
1.) On the Karen wagon with little reason with peers(SP) and ZA
2.) Immediately (and hypocritically) started the Green Day wagon for his actions in regards to the Karen wagon.
3.) Who can forget this anti-town quote when asked what Twomz would do if Green day were replaced.
Even though at the time Green Day wasn’t posting in any of his games. Twomz failed to mention that.Twomz wrote: Personally, I believe lynching would be better than replacing, because I think he is doing it on purpose. .
4.) unvoted Thorn/green day to vote Ceph (another townie). Kept pushing that thorn was not posting and was looking scummy even though his vote was on Ceph. And the posted another anti-town statement.
On the same page Peers(SP) vote Thorn and after Twomz above post, ZA voted thorn.Twomz wrote:Does anyone have anything to say at this point? I am close to just voting Thorn just to get the day over with.
5.) Mentions that he could see a ZA or Ceph wagon (day 3 after the thorn mislynch). Anyone care to guess who he chooses? Yep, he went with Ceph. Peers then replaces in and joins his buddy.
6.) Another anti-town move and vote from Twomz in post 826. Votes me to just get my claim. Oh yeah then Peers votes me in 827 putting me at –1.
7.) I claim sorcerer. In 859, he (in bold) yells at me for claiming my protective role and told me how I was a bad town player for claiming (after he asked me to claim)….but leaves his vote on me anyway.
8.) Post 944, Twomz urges Tar to claim, wait, wasn’t he just belittling me for claiming. Nah, he was just trying to look town.
9.) Post 1008, votes peers (Tar claimed wolf and indicated Peers as mafia) Cicero puts peers at –1, and then in 1010, twomz unvotes peers (because he wanted to hear Tar’s response to me questions first). Why did you mention that in 1008, when you voted peers.
10.) Now that Peers claimed mafia, Twomz did not return his vote even though he stated that Peers is today’s lynch (why no vote then twomaz?) in post 1075.
11.) Does vote Peers day 5 while everyone else wanted to vote the wolf (DAS) that peers found. No reason not to follow the crowd at this point and vote peers instead. I believe he just wanted to distance himself from Peers at all cost. Day 6, Twomz opens with the vote on Peers, props to Cicero for calling him out (1248). OF course ZA joins the BW against peers, right after twomz
12.) Post 1375, now this is great. He posts and posts about how he does understand why people would consider leaving Peers alive and he how he doesn’t trust peers then he unvotes peers and joins him by voting Kison. Also ignores the fact that most of the town is voting ZA
13.) Of course, today he unvotes peers because peers is pushing for a Cicero lynch…just ridiculous.
Twomz is so obviously mafia. But we have to lynch the wolf today.
If I am right about hermit. Here is the plan you should follow (because my ass is dead tonight).
4:2:1 (town:mafia:wolf)
Hang Hermit today 4:2
Peers tomorrow, 3:1
Then twomz
If I am wrong about hermit and both groups get a kill tonight. It will be. 1:2:1 tomorrow. We lose.
Lynching peers today and both groups getting a kill we will be at 2:1:1, we lynch a group then the other group gets a kill we will be at 1:1 (we lose)
We have to hit the wolves today.
Vote hermit.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

great game guys...I followed it after my death...glad to see I was right on with the scum teams (minus my cephirr read, sorry), looking forward to reading the scum transcripts, this would have been a great game for me if I hadnt self voted. I was hoping someone would come out and claim, but in retrospect that might have back fired...
I didnt think the town could pull this one out...I think this game was one for the books.
Dead, going to nominate this game for flavor..thanks!!NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE-

well I gave it thought...if the mafia only had two members, then Cicero bullet proof claim might be false. But the fact you told me there was 2 mafia, made me dismiss the idea.Peers wrote:I didn't think anyone would really fall for the 'two mafia, three wolves' thing... but it was worth trying, just in case.NO YOU'RE OVER DEFENSIVE
