[dahill1]

i saw him post 3 days ago

[dahill1]

*checks*
nope you're right. never mind then

[dahill1]

also, i recommend everyone (if they already haven't) to read Assassins in the Palace II. it was a good game and has a lot of useful info about AITP in general.

1. dahill - Get an avatar. Preferably something with bagels. I am hungry.

heh, if that would help me get the title, but i doubt it. also thanks for putting up the right link . but seriously, town made some crucial mistakes in that game, which clearly pointed out the kings to the assassins. we don't want that in this game.

[dahill1]

unvote vote shamrock

actually, Oman is right. the optimal strategy for D1 in AITP is to speedlynch (see the other game)

[dahill1]

Err, speedlynch is the optimal strategy why?

heh, now i'm even happier with our choice to lynch.
but seriously, speedlynching is the way to go right now

[dahill1]

unvote, Vote: Oman.

Starting a bandwagon for no reason is scummish.

goddamnit have you been reading? i'm starting to want to switch my vote

[dahill1]

Wait, I'm here...just blending...

blending...blending...

ASSASSIN!

Oh shit!

*runs away*

*jumps in hay*

He's over there!

God dang it...

*runs through a merchant stand*

*pant pant pant* Okay uh uh, where to hide, AH here we go!

*Blends into a mafia game*

Uh..

For not getting an avatar.

Damn, he got away! *walks off*

Seriously, seriously if you haven't played Assassin's Creed yet, you're a sad person indeed, and it's also for the 360! The Ps3 is crap. A dead laptop is a better paper-weight...[/referring to own laptop].

get with the times, man! speedlynching shamrock is the way to go!

[dahill1]

Why Shamrock though?

why not?

[dahill1]

To those still without a clue, please read the other forum runnings of AiTP. AiTP is not Mafia. In mafia speed lynch is bad! Town has no info there and gets no info. In AiTP speed lynch is good. Town has all the info and must not let the assassin gain the info. If you signed up for a game with logic and good scumhunting, I am sorry this is not that type of game. When Thesp suggests you read the AiTP wiki in the queue, you should! Start wagons on those you have some inclination they are assassin but do your best to hide the bulk of the inclination and logic. For revealing the bulk can reveal the king and we don't want that.

PS. jtdyer, nice!

this is :goodposting". i recommend the jester and everyone else who doesnt understand the speedlynch to read this

[dahill1]

EBWOP- :goodposting:

[dahill1]

Err, speedlynch is the optimal strategy why?

this somewhat contributed to it. any protown would go along with it. again, read AITP 2

[dahill1]

"I think Dahill should be the next lynched. He obviously understands how town should play this game so as the assassin he would want to take cahrge and appear the most pro town. He has also stated that at least 4 people in the game are obviously not pro town with his last post. He also assumed a person abotu to be lynched would be "for the plan" and, he is the only one without an avatar. So by lynching him we get a pretty good chance of scum death, plus we solve that problem. A win/win!"

Can anyone make something even remotely acceptable for shamrock... seriously... i think the main reason he is being lynched is simply becuase he was the one with the most votes at the time this plan "began" and uh... if we follow this strategy for choosing lynce, the assassin will never die as his vote will always make someone else have a bit more votes. If you understand what I'm saying...

yes, i understand how town should play, but that does not change whether i am assassin or guard or king. with my last statement, i meant that any protown player would accept ("go along with") being lynched.
the reasons you stated for shamrock are pretty much true. i voted for him in attempt to start a speedlynch bandwagon. also, this is

not

the strategy for the other days. it only mainly works d1

[dahill1]

I don't believe in starting a bandwagon against someone we have no idea of their alignment is a good idea, even for the sake of speedlynching. That's why I voted Oman, he understands the game and is trying to use it to his advantage (that is, if he's the assassin)

Okay look. We all know who the king is, right?

The longer we talk, the more information we give the asssasin. The easier it is for him to hit the king on his suicide.

Unvote Vote Voodoo

For that reason Voodoo is hindering the lynch, thus he is my current #1 scum suspect.

QFT

unvote vote voodo

hey korlash, at least this one has some reason to it..

[dahill1]

vote korlash

this is

not

an OMGUS from yesterday. i can explain my reasoning postgame

[dahill1]

lol you claimed guard

confirm vote korlash

[dahill1]

;_; You make me proud there Oman... I agree Farside is someone to look into, the blatant wagoning just to fit in is enough for that. I think Shamrock needs to jump in right about now with something to say. And I wouldn't mind hearing JT's input on current events. I'm sure Jester will stop on within a day if he can find access but I doubt he'll provide anythign useful.

Also whats the big freaking deal abotu caiming guard? what else can I claim? If I claim assassin I most likely get lynched, and if I claim king I get mod killed. AND if I claim doc... well then you call me names and laugh at me...

I mean seriously, without specualtion on the kings role, what does claiming do? by yoru logic if the king claimed guard, then we freaking win automatically! Cool... we found a loop hole! Sham claim guard, we will win if you do.

the point is to not claim at all...

[dahill1]

dahill is creeping up the scumlist.

how so? when is claiming ever beneficial to the town in this game?

[dahill1]

jdodge quote from AITP 2

The most pro-town thing you can do at this point is vote yourself - if you are town, you have outed yourself as a guard and are thus useless to us. If you are scum, you're dying anyways because of the first. Sorry, try again next game.

this was after an assassin claimed guard
also, contentful posts are actually harmful in this game. just keep that in mind

[dahill1]

No I realised speedlynching is bad because if we speedlynch, then all the guards go and the assasin has a smaller pool to work from. If I was assasin, I would've riden the "speed lynch ftw" thing until dahil and korlash were dead.

WIFOM, and what Poker said

vote Oman

claiming guard by Korlash was a stupid move..anyone who claims in AITP should be automatically lynched like no matter what

[dahill1]

Okay. The second point is WIFOM.

But what about the first point? Do you not agree that speedlynching tons of guards and watching the assassin's pool for king shrink continously is BAD?

yeah, but i think you're the assassin. we're going to have to lynch no matter what. you are the lynch

[dahill1]

no, i do have reasons for voting for you. you're right, my logic would be bad if i had no reasons. anyways, this pretty much sums it up.

Setting up lynches ahead of time, starting a bunch of wagons (The second assassin wagon hoped insane style in the large AiTP2), giving suspicion lists (see the first assassin in AiTP1), they are all bad. Mistakes worse than claiming guard. Think about it! I shouldn't have to explain it to you. And talk about flip flop. You are first to realize speed lynching is good. Then you say its bad. You've got to go.

Vote: Oman

also you said this for pretty much no apparent reason which piqued my interest.

dahill is creeping up the scumlist.

[dahill1]

Vote: dahill1

I don't see that avatar yet.

..um
we're past the random stage

[dahill1]

unvote

i'm unsure about oman now..

[dahill1]

Why are you unsure about me now? I think I know, but tell me anyway.

if you are thinking what i'm thinking, then we best not say it aloud

[dahill1]

I would ask why dahill is off your list, but we shouldn't give assassin much info. But I was gonna

vote: dahill1

for reasons explained by korlash.

which were...?

[dahill1]

(posting this in all games)

away til tuesday

[dahill1]

that seems like a good wagon
but so does either farside/jtdyer atm
i also want to hear from shamrock

[dahill1]

Aww, thanks dahill.

BFFs 4 LYFE

[dahill1]

Jester, is that a prod to get us to re-read through, or are you going to tell us what you realized?

stop asking for information! it only helps the assassin

[dahill1]

vote poker

[dahill1]

I'm not seeing the case against Jester or Poker at this point. I'm going back to my original thought process on this.

unvote:
vote: MadCrawdad

Call this a gut feeling

wow
if jester isn't the assassin then you are

definitely

next

[dahill1]

more jester votes

[dahill1]

more poker votes

EBWOP

[dahill1]

shall i hammer?
...
...
...
ok i will

unvote vote the jester

[dahill1]

at first i said jester, but i preview edited in "the"

[dahill1]

someone quickhammer

vote jtdyer

[dahill1]

poker wagon >>>>>>farside wagon

vote poker

[dahill1]

EBWOP: farside is probably next, and in the small chance it's not one of those 2, then MCD

[dahill1]

your posts are too long. hence, you are the assassin

[dahill1]

My underline is a little missleading to some, so can you explain the trap and why you did not vote crawdad right out of the gate today if you understood?

information fishing

Heck while we're at it why did you start that first wagon on shamrock? Any reason?

more information fishing

[dahill1]

that's a lynch

[dahill1]

damn i was pretty sure poker was the assassin
anyways lol @ MCD for your vote

vote MCD

[dahill1]

omaaaan noooo

[dahill1]

remember how quickhammering=good in AITP?
now is the time to do it

[dahill1]

~bump~

[dahill1]

what...the...fuck
i am utterly dumbfounded

[dahill1]

i honestly don't know what to do in this situation

[dahill1]

there is only one situation in which town can still win
we have to lynch the assassin today without revealing any information, and then the assassin has to choose wrong out of the remaining people

[dahill1]

honestly, i would have to agree with oman. i would also like to see farside's vote as well.
however just to be careful, you should probably make it a pseudovote so the assassin can't hammer

[dahill1]

vote oman

[dahill1]

this was actually an incredibly hard choice for me
farside has seemed overall more scummy of the two, but in isolation she has left some subtle hints that i caught onto

[dahill1]

(
ninja'd
goddamnit you were lucky oman

[dahill1]

i basically cleared him at the beginning when he said "oh wait farside is the king"

[dahill1]

meh i don't blame farside
i probably would have made the same decision if i were her. i had thought it was 100% pokerface because MCD seemed to catch the farside=king breadcrumbs, and I had cleared Oman.

[dahill1]

arghghgh! if it weren't for that you probably would have been lynched awhile ago

[dahill1]

oh yeah, apologies to korlash
once you claimed guard that did it for me

[dahill1]

basically, the only reason i didn't vote for oman was because of that "farside is king" post. i had thought there is no way he could know that if he was the assassin. normally, he pushing for the farside lynch would've been scummy, but i thought he was trying to mislead the assassin.

[dahill1]

haha yeah now that i think about it. every other thing oman did pretty much led to him being the assassin, but i mentally just blocked them out

[dahill1]

Dahill: why did you unvote me there?

it was pretty much the farside comment and this

Especially because starting a wagon on a king can give away an assasin in a heartbeat. Even though it could be a guard throwing the scum off.

which i thought was an obvious crumb that you were attempting to throw off the assassin by pushing a farside lynch

[dahill1]

i'd be fine with resetting although i may be unavailable for an unknown period of time pretty soon as i am moving across the country
