With 25 Alive, it takes 13 to lynch.

Deadline for Day One is in (expired on 2011-11-08 23:07:02).

[crypto]

Oh wow, there are actually five people voting me. That's hilarious. Diddin is mafia.

[crypto]

I'm voting him because his first post felt off. His second was bad as well. I was asked to shed light on my intuition and I complied. I gave fair warning that it was an intuitive read so don't expect me to entertain your interrogation.

[Junpei]

No, you don't understand, your intuition tells you that...

Set Y is all mafia
pX --> Set Y

So, it stands to reason that we should find out who is X, or in this case, not using townie passion. Come on, you can get tons of reads this way. Surely you want solid intuitive reads that you base votes off of?

[crypto]

Are these sessions free?

[projectmatt]

Unvote

Crypto, can you give me three town reads and the reasons for them quickly?

Diddin, explain to me how changing your thought process is a scum tell, please.

Lynches I do not want today: Implosion, Junpei, Ethereal, Magna, Crypto (The hops on his wagon with poor justification, paired with Diddin's bizarre confidence make want to not lynch him.)

Lynches I can approve of: Diddin, Warrior

Vote: Warriormode

Diddin, in your next post please post as many reads are you have.

[Junpei]

You would do good to actually respond, as it is very important, otherwise your entire foundation for your vote is compromised and you will look very bad.

projectmatt: explain your vote.

[SlySly]

Okay sly... uh.. so my mentioning MoI is what made me worthy of a vote?

No, your slip is what made you worthy of a vote, it was your response that confirmed for me that it was a slip.

[crypto]

Crypto, can you give me three town reads and the reasons for them quickly?

I'd rather keep my cards close to my chest at this point.

You would do good to actually respond, as it is very important, otherwise your entire foundation for your vote is compromised and you will look very bad.

I'm fine with that. Partly because I don't care. Mostly because I'm not dignifying your demands that I waste my time justifying an early-game gut scum read like that.

[projectmatt]

projectmatt: explain your vote.

I'm curious as to how Warriormode will react under the pressure of being lynched, along with the fact that, funnily enough, the post that was quoted by him from another user at the start of the last page set off giant bells in my head as attempting to be too forced and enthusiastic towards the town, as well with the false justification that I brought up with Warrior earlier. Therefore he is one of my scum reads and pressure on him is a good thing.

[projectmatt]

You had no problem with outing a scum read on Diddin and Warrior. Please diagram your thought process to me as to how you feel outing your town reads would be a poor choice at this point in the game.

[FourseenCircumstance]

Alright,,


So Diddin I don't know where you were going in your first post nor do I care...

Warrirmode do you have any sort of postrestriction?

Crypto, your counter case against Diddin fairly weak, but the case on you is even weaker. hmm ponder.....

But looking at the plan from Magna....... It seems like the case be...... you are likely a good target at least not a good informational lynch for town.

unvote. Vote: Crypto

[crypto]

Projectmatt: I don't like outing more reads than I need to. It gives scum more data to work with and allows them to shape the game accordingly.

Preview edit: FourseenCircumstance's vote on me is even worse than diddin's given that he did so IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE CASE ON ME IS WEAKER THAN MY CASE ON ANOTHER PLAYER, WHICH IS ITSELF "FAIRLY WEAK."

Jesus Christ, you guys.

[FourseenCircumstance]

The consensus of the posts so far says magna knows what he is doing in this game, so I am going along with it.

[projectmatt]

FourseenCircumstance, please give me some information that you believe you would gain from lynching Crypto.

[crypto]

FourseenCircumstance, paraphrased: "Crypto makes a weak case on diddin. Diddin makes a weaker case on crypto. But I'm going to vote crypto anyway, not because he's mafia but because he's a 'good informational lynch.'"

Unvote. Vote: FourseenCircumstance.

Here's a tip. The town doesn't win by lynching townies for the sake of information. It wins by lynching mafia. Man up and take some real stances, FourseenCircumstance, instead of copping out on a pathetically and indisputably anti-town procedure.

[crypto]

And not only that, but you justify your atrociously illogical and anti-town vote with a stance that you should sheep MagnaofIllusion because he seems like a good player to you.

1. Good ≠ town.
2. Town ≠ right.
3. Blindly bandwagoning is unjustifiable regardless.

[Junpei]

Not dealing with this. This ends now.

[SlySly]

it's amazing, the way dropping capitalization and minimizing punctuation can change the tone of your posts

Is this a new method you've adopted just for this game?

------------

so you've established that i move quickly and unpredictably. why are you voting me? do you actually think i am mafia or is this a policy-type vote? if you think i am mafia, then what do you think is the secret scum agenda driving my play?

I like to know why you voted Magna, for starts.

that was one of the weaker attempts at dodging questions i've seen in my time here.

Agreed, ML, ing.

There are my reasons for voting warriormode.

Neither of the links you provided mention warriormode. Did you get your links wrong?

[crypto]

I was going to try it out for kicks but I've lost my patience.

Both linked posts discuss warriormode.

[Junpei]

Read the context of the links Sly, they are very relevant to warriormode.

Also if you haven't seen crypto's MD thread then I suggest you check it out. He is probably experimenting on how serious/credible a person looks who uses little-no punctuation/capitalization.

Also, why did you feel the need to +1 a post from page 3?

[FourseenCircumstance]

hmmm..... Ponder.....

Crypto is a pretty active player and that is very helpful for the town early on to generate discussion and what not so I'd like to see him stick around.....

unvote

[crypto]

Too late, FourseenCircumstance. Failures are forever.

Did you really just come to this realization that Crypto is active?

..
Yeah, you need to die, you're really going to be useless the whole game aren't you? Either your mafia playing awful on purpose or you're town and you're playing awful on purpose. Either way you're playing awful on purpose and need to die.

[Junpei]

I like this StringerBell guy!

Yeah, warriormode's initial post was very worthy of a vote. I would say that crypto sprinting away from a warrior vote looks suspicious if warrior ever flips scum. (Its also possible crypto is trying to go with the idea that a lot of posts equal town, and is just posting high volumes to this end.)

okay, okay, magister ludi, you've cowed me into busing my scum mate. it's only page 3, so i'm confident enough that by the end of day one he'll have wormed his way out of getting lynched like all early-game obvious scum do, thanks to his own recovery as well as to the town's wondrous ability to overlook plain scummy behavior and instead obsess over ridiculous conspiracy theories.

unvote
vote: warriormode

what i have on magna is very thin, so this satisfies me.

preview edit:

Crypto, why would you want me to explain why someone should be voted, if you agree that they should be voted?

i want to get a feel for your thought process. that's a cornerstone of effective scumhunting.

You've presented what at this early stage is the scummiest post I have seen so far.

enlighten me.

This is a quote from the guy who said that failures are forever.

Contradiction Crypto? I think so.
