Thok's got me feeling all wonky. I want him to elaborate on why he's voting for anybody who speculates about the setup. On the other hand, I can see why he would be suspicious of the theories presented so far. More on that later in this post.
Haven't really looked at MC. I will say that I have this tendency to find him scummy, so I'll have to take careful consideration when I look over his posts. I'll get back to you on that one.
You haven't really given me any problems. I don't see any reason to suspect you right now. Though I don't really agree with your theory (see the next paragraph), I do like that you haven't tried to cram the theory to fit your supsicions or vice versa. It's really easy for scum to do so; they develop theories to push the lynches they already want to see, or they develop a theory and then refuse to deviate from it, deriving suspicions from it. Heck, I did that myself in Committee Mafia, but it drew a lot of unwanted attention.
Regarding your theory, Zindie: I still do not see MBL being from the same scumgroup, esepcially if inHim is part of that scumgroup. Consider this: inHimScum attacked MBL basically all of D1. If he (or his mafia) decides to kill MBL, it would likely be because they think MBL is some kind of threat to them. Unless inHim was already going "MBL is probably an SK or part of a different scumgroup," it wouldn't make sense to kill someone you think might turn up pro-town. I'm not going to go out of my way to try to get someone lynched and then just nightkill them; it doesn't make sense, because if they die as town, it just reflects poorly on me. Now granted, none of us have any idea what inHim (or his potenetial scumbuddies) thought. But with two of the most vocal players (inHim and myself) pushing hard against MBL (another very vocal player), I would halfway expect that scum would leave us all to fight amongst ourselves.
Another note: Twito's use of Occam's Razor seems to be, by far, the most reasonable approach thus far. (Heck, it's the stance that I've tentatively taken.) Yes, there are a bunch of possibilities... but to go with the simplest, most reasonable one is perfectly normal. I'd definitely say that of all the possibilities presented, Twito's is most likely. Few vigilantes choose to kill N1, and as I've mentioned before, there could be a second Doctor, a backup Doctor, a Roleblocker, or some other role (Hider, nightkill immune/resistant player, etc) causing a scumkill to fail. Having scum miss their kills is not an uncommon event in Mafia games. Because one scum died and no townspeople did should not be an invitation to start wild theories involving Janitors, multiple scumgroups, and/or Traitor-killings.-

Okay, that makes me happier.Glork wrote:>snipped opinions<
Wouldn't it be rather odd for there to be two scumgroups in this game? I really don't see it happening, personally, as the story seems to indicate a fight between Monkeys and Gorillas, and no further evil. I'm no expert on the theme, but is there a possible second scum group?Regarding your theory, Zindie: I still do not see MBL being from the same scumgroup, esepcially if inHim is part of that scumgroup. Consider this: inHimScum attacked MBL basically all of D1. If he (or his mafia) decides to kill MBL, it would likely be because they think MBL is some kind of threat to them.

Another problem I have with the vig-theory is that I'm not seeing the reasoning behind vigging MBL.ShowFinished: 159 (120 Town, 33 Mafia, 5 Other, 1 Cult, 4 Cultivated)

I donno... depending on who you ask, blatant self-interest and mass OMGUS can be very significant scumtells.Zindaras wrote:Another problem I have with the vig-theory is that I'm not seeing the reasoning behind vigging MBL.
"Glork wants me dead, therefore he is scum. inHim wants me dead, therefore he is scum. Nightson wants me dead, therefore he is scum."
I also pointed out that he was trying to get me to project scumbags based on his alignment way too far in advance. Setting up future lynches based on current lynches is also a fairly common scumtell. MBL wasn't doing it himself, but he was trying to push me to do so... which is something that I definitely found odd and pointed out.-

Eh, I seem to have missed most of that. I'll do a reread and see if I can get a better reading on MBL. My main reason for assuming he was town was the fact that bird was scum, I guess.ShowFinished: 159 (120 Town, 33 Mafia, 5 Other, 1 Cult, 4 Cultivated)

Huh... interesting to note that PJ seems to share these exact same opinions.
I'm going to pull a little WIFOM out of my hat and ask PJ a question:
Do you think that inHim, Glork, and possibly Nightson would so distinctly align their suspicions on Day One as scum, and continue to hold the same voting bloc even going into the second day?-

I do think you [Glork] and InHim would potentially align "suspicions" in a game. A couple points to make: InHim didn't really have a 'suspicion' on Day One: he just randomly pushed on MBL. To show:Glork wrote:Huh... interesting to note that PJ seems to share these exact same opinions.

So far as those reasons go, I find:InHim wrote:Yeah, MBL was the flavor of Day 1. At least, that's how I saw it. I think I spelled out the reasons that I was so adamant in seeing his lynch to completion.
"Collapsing lynches" don't seem inherently scummy to me. Also, considering there would have been some distancing in posts such as Post 109, and Post 114, I could definitely see the two of you working together.InHim wrote:
My only case has been the collapse of the lynch. Nothing else, really, I don't think.It's way too simple to vote someone then come up with a reason later. You had no possible motivation for your MBL vote, and then you start building a case.
My theory is furthered by the fact that I first climbed up to six votes today. After defending, votes started going towards InHim. Either through strange circumstance or plan, you [Glork] then started your attack on me while InHim was being run up. I candefinitelysee the two of you working together, without a doubt. I have seen scum both take similar agendas, so that sort of WIFOM does not work on me so much (as it did, for example, when LMLscum and Thokscum both attacked CES in Verbose Mafia back-to-back).
So far as Nightson goes, I don't think hehasbeen "aligned with your suspicions". Check his voting record: he has just had a few weird interactions with you, while throwing his vote around without reason. In fact, today he has stated:
Which is in fact just the opposite ofNightson wrote:Don't like the PJ wagon or the inhim wagon.bothof your expressed opinions.
In short: yes, I could still see the three of you being a scum-group."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

Just checking. I'd like to think that if I'm scum with inHim and/or Nightson, I wouldn't be completely boneheaded enough to make it that obvious by the end of Day One. Apparently you don't share that confidence in my playing ability.-
