OT: The SPF Mafia Game Round Three

He could be absent from walking away from his own killing. And it's peculiar that a town would suddenly turn on itself and start lynching each other.

We can argue the semantics of what skoolbus said over and over if you want. But this is a game of mafia where the allegiance of a lynch victim is not revealed. For skoolbus to try and give such a hint to the town (i.e. to lead us to the conclusion you drew about Jaedhann being a mason), would be grossly unfair in my opinion and going against how the game has been run in all other respects.

I don't take offense when you say you're getting tired of repeating this. I do think however that this argument still fails to convince me. Forgive me if I don't make use of it in my own reasoning, hopefully the town will manage to rid itself of mafia either way.
 
Before I reply to Nikon, which I will do, sorry Rash, you were right, I left RK alive in my table so I counted one more to be alive. :rolleyes:

Okay next: Nikon, you're reaching. I was actually hoping you'd bring something worthwhile during the table so we can start discussing for real. Oh well, let's answer a monster with a monster.
First off, let me begin by reiterating the theory that the mafiosi weren't active in the beginning. We know that Sint posted during the night which means he must have seen his PM at least. <snip> Fast forward to Sint's next post - at that time, the game is already well underway. He says: ''Don't worry, everything (everyone) is fine and I'm back again with daily access to the intarweb. <snip> I haven't read the thread, yet, however I skimmed trough it and noted skool's post on the page before this one.''
What does this mean? It means that he wasn't able to do anything during the night either.
No actually that means I hadn't been active during the day. It's funny how you say that I would've seen my PM, but wasn't able to do anything during the night. If I may be so bold I'd like to ask Skoolbus to actually confirm that I have sent him a PM asking to post for me if I had to leave before the day started or couldn't get back in time. And even so, if I had seen my PM and I was a mafia, why was there no kill? Because I was linked to others that supposedly weren't active? Why would I need others. This discussion has been outed in the thread before, only one mafia member has to be there to make the kill.

His next post is as follows: <snip the brak stuff> It seems to reinforce his point about Brak, however, Brak stated that he's not starting a bandwagon, and does not want to lynch SkunkBelly. Why are you trying to lynch him them?
I was trying to lynch him because Brak made a post that was wrong (saying somethign about post counts that wasn't true), voting for someone pretty much out of the blue and like I said, pretty much random. He picked Skunk but he could've picked a few others as well. I found it something that the mafia could do to divert attention.

Yes, he could've had a role. But why didn't the mafia pick someone else like Moar or you? Oh, wait.
Yeah, oh wait what? Still saying I wasn't active at night and thus am mafia? Sigh..

Next up: <sint's quote about CDRT's crooked cop story>
This one's easy. Moar tries to shut him up with the added benefit of making it look like he's being protected from xduckster. Some fingers pointed.
Honestly what? Moar shut up CDRT and make it look like CDRT is protected? I don't get this one. (This isn't to counter the vote, I seriously don't get it, explain please..)

Next:
<sint's posting:
Okay about Drixx:
He had contact with more people then his posts showed on first sight...
He met Brak twice. First suspiciously lying low and the second time perhaps being the

crooked detective.
Goltar once..
cygnus once..
Rev twice, he voted against Rev and the second time said he might be the village idiot.
moar once, voted for him.

All of the "contacts" don't seem that interesting however if you combine it with my last post (about CDRT) you can see they both get Moar back in it. I still don't know for sure, but to me it looks like a set up. Both aren't that obvious (easy to look over and think ''that's not too much''), but also not hard to find (both are votes). Before I truly make up my mind if it's a set up, coincidence or bad play I'm going to point my finger..

Nikon suspects Moar which is probably genuine.. can't tell that (so if it's a set up he might still be a normal townie maybe not even noticing it), however it is the second time Rash jumped on the band wagon ''voting along'' with someone.

Rash, you seem good on day one, but you mess up hopping along someone. Please explain your votes more before making them (that goes for the opening vote today too).. If I were you I would've waited for Nikon's reply to Moar before doing anything.

Vote Rash
end of sint's posting>
Oh, so now, they're setting up Moar. How convenient. I'm being led by the nose, funny, that means that people should discredit anything I say cause I'm a puppet and Rash is being so suspicious that he's being designated as a lynchee, trying to lift some work off you hands the easy way, eh?
Yes, I said before and I'll say it again, it did/does look like the mafia is setting up Moar with that kill+imprisonment. It could be she is mafia and they trusted it not to be noticed, didn't think about it, or tried some reversed psychology, I just mentioned it did look that way. I just said about your vote for moar that it just fitted that picture. Also, I think that vote for Rash pretty much explains itself. You're reaching again trying to find something that isn't there. He was bandwagonning and not explaining enough. I found it suspicious. Is that wrong? I think there are quite a lot more votes in the thread that have less reasoning behind it.

Uh, what? OK.
?? Are you just trying to make random quotes pulling things out of perspective? This is what it looks like.

<sint's post saying (among other things) I didn't like the way Rash posted, but that he's making some sence. end sint's post>
In this piece you mark Rash as drawing too much attention. I.E. unsafe to kill at night.
What does this have to do with anything? I think Rash is unsafe to kill at night? If I were mafia wouldn't I go after him by day then? To be honest I did actually think Rash was the witness at some point in the game, but that was more because he said somewhere along the line ''if the doc sees this, don't bother saving me tonight''.

Next, you draw attention to RK, who's apparently the VI:
<sint saying he thinks Rev is the VI>A big post of nothing. You even say it yourself in the end. But it's all good as long as it occupies the townies. Except that jrla is labeled a townie, not attracting too much attention, a safe target to kill, mark this and remember it.

Here you state the importance of discussing townie roles (eh?) and vote for Rev, who's not the VI any more.
First about Rev. Yeah at first I thought he was the VI. I thought he was over-doing it making it look as if he was trying too hard and we'd lynch him anyway. I posted that. However after that he posted again going even deeper. He was attracting too much attention and even though I thought he might be the VI (note that at that point I was less certain), I thought his play was distracting to be helpfull in finding the mafia. Which comes down to discussing roles. Town roles. I find it's better to get an indication of whatever everyone might be then not discussing. The mafia sure won't discuss their roles, so we at least get some information. Oh and about pointing to Jrla, why shouldn't I have? He was likely to be townie based on the list I made. I was right. In your opinion that makes me mafia?

And here you unvote him until he gets back to being the idiot. Why would you vote for the VI, it's just a waste.

Basically, you're saying here, if someone tries to behave like the VI you'd off him, that's what you're saying.

Pretty much a self confession.
Yes, I would vote for him again if he would go back to his act. Again: he was distracting the crowd to where we shouldn't be looking. And yes that ''pretty much a self confession'' bit is sincere. I will vote for people I'm not sure about that they're mafia, if it simplifies the game. I thought (and still think) the mafia is lying low and is using the big posters to divert attention. So if we get to less people the mafia will have to step up and we can spot them.

"He's not mafia, but since he's the most popular I'll just go with the flow."
Again perfectly ripped out of context. I'll say it once more I guess. Yes I will vote for a lynch even if I'm not totally sure. I also didn't say Jae wasn't mafia, I said I didn't find enough evidence.

We lynch Jae, and what do you know? jrla is dead. You're also promoting the idea that Jae is the crooked cop. I find that highly unlikely. I'm saying the crooked cop is just laying low, a clever ruse to throw us off, since you yourself pointed to Jae and VOTED for him.
You're actually contradicting yourself here by quoting my post, seeing how I literally said that I found it too good to be true if Jae was the crooked cop.

This is a big post of "lets stare at eachother and make wild assumptions". Next one is basically saying that jrla's murde r doesn't lead anywere. How strange.
Of all the posts I made making more wild assumptions (for example the one where I give my ''view'' on people) you pick one based on logic. I looked at post count and vote, based purely on the table. I can't find anything wrong with it and at least I'm trying to encourage discussion to see how people think/feel about others. Should we all just be quiet and vote randomly?

Here you point your finger to xduckster with the claim that he made up a quote. But instead you twist his words and call him a liar flat-out. Nice "discovery", eh?
Sigh, this is just wrong. You're just going to wrong way here. xduck did make a mistake and I said that if he was going to stand by his point he indeed did lie. Which was true. He apologised later on. Honestly, why are you putting this in? Probably to make your next point..

<sint's post about xduck after he noticed his mistake>
You mark a certain behaviour mafiaish but you behave exactly the same way in your post. In most of your posts, if I dare say so myself. Pointing at random people and mostly bandwagoning. You're not? Then why did you vote for Jae? Why Rash, why RK?
The same behaivior? I knew I was right because I did read back. He posted he was right and suspected me because of me saying something else without looking it up. Did we act the same? I think not. Where have I pointed at random people? Where did that come from? I'm not going to explain my votes over and over again, I did that every time I voted. Seriously, you're now accusing me of doing something that just isn't true. Again.

Sint: ''Yeah Brak, however this still is the kind of thing to look for. Minor slip up's, strange wordings etc. I am more carefull this time though..''
So, that's basically what Moar did.
Yes, I guess you can say that. I still stand by my previous notes that I was/am not convinced.

<post by sint on why the mafia would leave Rev in if he was the VI (attracting too much attention) and why the mafia would want the VI in in general>
Brilliant. You used him as a magnet, to attract attention with his weird post, pretty much stopping the thought process of the town.
Actually he did it himself if you hadn't notice it. Before the part you quoted he already gave up his act which was good. I also gave my opinion about the VI which pretty much within the next few posts was reasoned away by others about why the VI shouldn't be kept in. It annoys me that you keep taking stuff out of context.

<sint calling everyone stupid>
Because you know something that we don't? Also, no u.
Oh my.. I can't even have fun anymore?

sint: me asking rash why he told w_m was a mason>
Basically, you tell us that Rash is a mafia collaborator. Incidentally, him pointing out that doesn't mean anything since if one of the masons is dead the other one is just a townie, not a free kill.
Sigh yet again wrong. I even said he gave the mafia a free kill if they followed his reasoning, if I thought he was mafia I would've said something about that or why he would reveal it if he were. Also, ''just a townie'' is ''a free kill'' for the mafia. If they hit just a townie they didn't hit the witness.

A big table, AND. You tell us that the most likely mafiots are Jaago (dunno lol), Moar (wait! I thought she was being set up? Mark his suspicion of her, it'll come in play later), ToI (Townie, EOD) and Thyiad.

Now I see why you point her out as the VI, but that's just her normal demeanor, you can check last round and you'll see that's how she generally handles. Notice that at this point the suspicion for VI is switched away from RK and Sint votes for a townie yet again, stating that he'd look into Lister next. Eh?
Do you even read my posts or do you just pick snippets and run with it? I made a post about everyone there and my reasoning behind it. I'm not even going to defend against this one.. seriously..

Oh look here, ToI is a mafioso, bandwagon him!!!1 I mean liek he didn't participate in teh early stages. Notice how that is shifting suspicion back to the inactive roles. However Sint is now very active and is counting that everyone has forgotten his early game post.
... again.. I didn't reason my vote? I made a strange post? I think I am at least doing research that has some foundation and I found it suspicious. Forgotten what early game post? Again, honestly, explain?

Yet more finger pointing here, trying to discredit Rash, and calling for reasonable voting when this is not the thing he has been doing.
I haven't reasoned about my voting? ...

Here he calls for the town to NOT HAVE an actual strategy. Convenient? Then he asks for the townies with roles to step up because they haven't done anything yet. M'kay.
Lmao. I'm actually saying that having a strategy is the good way to go, however I didn't see how Gohabs was going to get a good strategy the way he said. I didn't ask the roles to step up, I said it would be pretty random untill they do. Which is true. I don't like it if the cop steps up and gets killed, however if he does have a mafia name then that can help us track down the others.

You're doing exactly the same that you claim Jaago is doing. Note how Sint claims that returning a vote is suspicious.
I'm doing what? I'm voting for jaago because he voted for me? He didn't do that. Again.. don't see your point. Think I reasoned my voted again there.

Notice that Moar returns my vote here. Notice how she's on Sint's "Suspicious people" list, yet he seems to ignore what's going on in the thread despite the fact that he voted for Jae under similar circumstances earlier. And rambles happily about Lister. The same Lister that pointed a finger at him. It only makes sense that Sint would try to discredit him now. Then Sint blathers a tl;dr post about how he learned to play and stuff. Divert attention much?
Yes returning a vote ''because the person voted for you'' is lame. Moar didn't vote for you ''because you voted for her'', she voted for you because you jumped her with (for her) no good reason and tried to start a bandwagon along with someone else. Yes I was buisy with Lister, is that strange? He called me the mafia mastermind, odd that I think he has the priority. Oh and again, I can't say something that isn't directly linked to the discussion? I thought people might actually find it interesting .. no, I'm not going to explain that.

Hackity-slash, night 3, day 3. Notice how RK who wasn't the prime candidate for the VI anymore got killed? Yea, thought so. Crooked cop is laying low, trying to instigate the idea that Jae had that role.

He claims that Moar was likely set up and he just stated that. I thought she was in your suspicious list? What happened with the sudden change of mind? Next, you try to discredit me by putting me together with a "known mafia member" lael.
I don't even know what to say about this.. I haven't anywhere said I thought Moar was either mafia or townie. I was and still am undecided. I didn't just state she was likely set up, I stated everything I said about her. Strange how you only seem to read what you want to read. I didn't try to discredit you by putting you together with a ''known mafia member'' because I never even said Lister was mafia. Again you're reaching. You're right about discrediting you, because you're wrong about me. However in my opinion you did it yuorself with this big post.

If I was the cop and you were mafia I wouldn't just step up, since all 3 are still alive and that'd just mean I'll kill myself unless I reveal all 3. Asking for me to do so makes no sense if you're a townie.
That just doesn't make sence. If you're the cop you should give the town the information. It is more likely that you're killed before the moment you planned to give out all the info (or unveiling all 3 of them) then making sure you take out at least one. You stated you're 100% sure, which could only be true if you were the cop and I was the mafia. I now think we're both not.

Post #645: Yet again you pull a quote out of context.

Sorry I think you're reaching too far. I think it's good that you're actually doing this to me, since I can explain myself. I hope you don't do it again to someone who has less time or energy to say things over and over again since we might lynch the wrong person. I do hope you'll explain the (two? I think) bits I asked for extra explanation.

Wow.. again a big post.



 
CDRT: Please explain your vote. The only thing I can remember (haven't looked back, sorry was writing this thing above) was you saying I was suspicious because I lived beyond night 2. Er...

Cygnus: thanks for that post about Rev's contact. I would've done it, but you know.. buisy..
 
Sint's pro-town posts:

Deaths reveal information.
Xduckster has misrepresented jrlafrance, and possibly lied about it.
Setting up a lynch queue is wrong.
I'm trying to explain myself, and trying to show how my actions are coherent and therefore suitable defense.

Sint's not-so-pro-town posts:

I can't vote because the tally is even.
Let's discuss town specials and get them killed if the mafia agrees with us and we're right, because we have an ER wing full of doctors to save them.

Posts to comment on:

Translations.
How a post is meant to be interpreted and how it graces a reader's eyes are two different things. I'm giving the poster my perception on his/her post. If they don't think it's accurate, they are free to explain it.

Some have better reasoning than others.
I'd love to know which filter you are using when you're judging people's reasoning, it's the mafia's job to help you logically make false conclusions.

Cop wouldn't have to reason to point out mafia.
Wouldn't a cop need reasons to go inspecting people, and then why wouldn't a cop use those reasons instead of being obvious and getting picked off? "What if" thinking isn't bad, just not as conclusive...


Pro-town summary:While looking for flawed reasoning to help other townies clean up their act and reduce unnecessary suspicion, Sint catches Xduckster misquoting jrlafrance and calls him out. I think the accusation of lying was appropriate at the time. He's being helpful when not making bland circular arguments and vote counts.

Not-so-Pro: Waiting on a vote to become uneven is not an indifference to who gets lynched a townie should have. Find out who you think is more likely to be mafia and make a vote then and there. Oh by the way, once we start getting talkative about the town roles, they may start dying, because the doctor can't save them all. I'd prefer for them to make those decisions, only general prodding if you're a townie who thinks the time is right.

If Sint's mafia, he's doing a good job, because he's looking like a townie to me.

Nikon: You just jumped way up on my suspect list for refusing to read a post, and you were making stretches with your personal insights.
 
^Correction: If Sint is mafia (I got carried away with contractions...)


Personal Insights: Do not necessarily have factual or nonfactual qualities,,,
 
Ok Rash. Let's look at the beginning of his post. He says:

Okay next: Nikon, you're reaching. I was actually hoping you'd bring something worthwhile during the table so we can start discussing for real.

Which means "your post is not worth reading". Same as mine. In his rebuttal he just copy-pasted the same thing he had already said, there's like 5% new content, what's the point in reading it? Not to mention that he just plainly lied about his activity time. But yeah, I'm making stretches, right.

You stated you're 100% sure, which could only be true if you were the cop and I was the mafia. I now think we're both not.

Basically, even if I claim to be the cop after your post, it won't be believable. Neat insurance there.

Tell you what. Let the cop investigate me tonight and tell us my role. It's 50-50, either me or Sint will be a proven mafia members. Sounds like a good deal.

That sounds nice, but:

-the cop could well be dead by now.
-both you and Sint could be mafia members who go for each others throats just to make it look as if you're not on the same side
-both you and Sint could be townies who are oversuspicious of each other (this happened a lot in the earlier games)
-the cop could still be alive, but know too little by now. You said earlier you felt that the cop should be able to identify all mafia members, I disagreed (and still disagree) with you on that and say two is enough, but should also identify one townie with a special role, so that townie can be sure it's indeed the cop and not a mafia member posing as the cop. Actually there would have to be at least three living town members (including the special role) to have been investigated), since otherwise it's just too easy for the mafia member to gamble correctly.

@Thyiad: it almost sounds as if you're the cop and have already investigated both of them and found both of them to be mafia members indeed.

@All: on the peculiar absense of one town member Skoolbus noted, could it be that one person didn't say anything that day? (I did not check (yet))

As to Rashiminos' doctor remark that Water_Moon (and I think someone else as well but I can't find it among the monsters) quoted, it certainly makes him more suspicious. It looks like he was playing a card that later turned out not to have been in the game, that still could point to two roles though, either mafia or village idiot. It could be he is the village idiot and by this tried to have the mafia not kill him, since that would be dangerous for them if he would be the witness. It could be he is mafia trying to have the town think he is the witness, but since he also indicated such to the mafia they are afraid to kill him which explains him staying alive. He has been suspicous the whole game and it could still point either way. He has been acting as the mafia mouthpiece, but that would seem enough reason for the mafia to kill him if he would not be mafia, since only the village idiot would gain something by acting as such. Therefore, I think it's more likely that he's mafia than that he's village idiot.

Vicious rumors about me claiming to be things I never claimed to be. Let me clarify this post:

This is a broadcast message to the doctor if s/he is reading. Don't bother saving me tonight. I deserve whatever foul tricks the mafia has in store.

I recognized at some point on that day that my incompetence was creating unnecessary confusion and that I was amenable to be taken out should the mafia come a-packing (as opposed to a special role -hint-). Day 2 found me with clearer purpose and better suspects, so my interest in my survival was renewed. That confusion is evident now since I'm a primary suspect for some people, and in many cases just because of those three sentences. I was not trying to imitate the witness at the time, but again I was being incompetent on that day.

Since you obviously haven't read it, post 662 goes on to remark on your post, regardless of whether he thought you brought something worthwhile to the table or not.

You know, maybe Thyiad is right and this town deserves to die for its stupidity. By the looks of where this is going...

@Sint: Look, I simply don't think it's worth it to retype my monster post to respond to yours. The arguement you're trying to make is simply retarded.



 
Nikon - I found your post more convincing than Lister's, but I'm not entirely convinced yet. Most of it seems to hinge on Sint contradicting and/or changing his opinion a few times. The rest seemed to me "Look, if Sint is mafia this fits too"-like circumstantial. The fact that you didn't even bother to reply to his defense doesn't help either. You didn't just state facts, you interpreted them as well.

Thyiad - You keep making bold statements without backing them up. You gave your reasons for that (less talking, more lynching, busy schedule) but it would really help if you threw in at least an extra sentence or two :smiley:. At this point I find it hard to take your accusations seriously.

CDRToast - I've seen you mention Sint twice before. Once you mention him because he actually survived the start of this game. The other time he's in a table with "Gut says mafia" or something like that next to his name.

Goltar - I really don't think we should look for anything "peculiar". If that was a hint than Skoolbus would be rigging this game. I don't believe he'd do that.

I have to admit this whole Sint debate is leaving me quite confused. My previous #1 suspect (Rash) going off to defend someone I'm still inclined to believe is a townie... I'm a bit out of glaring suspicions at the moment. Call me conservative, or blind, but I fail to connect as many dots as some of you seem to do. But I'll be damned if I don't vote today, or wait to vote until the bandwagon is passing by. We need to keep some pace.

Nikon, I'm not completely sure about your role. At first I wasn't thinking too much about Rev's suspicion of you. But presenting interpretations/opinions/personal insights as facts and then refusing to argue them is too wrong on too many levels. Consider this a request for more logic and less "zeal" while I keep an eye on you.

Vote: Lord Nikon
 
Sint: Look, I simply don't think it's worth it to retype my monster post to respond to yours. The arguement you're trying to make is simply retarded.

You know what? I said I'd leave it, but for now I'll just ignore you. Totally. GG I guess.
---

I'm off again, am able to post and look for someone to vote in an hour or two.



 
vote Lord Nikon

Because I've suspected him since the first day (when I voted for him), and to rid our town of rudeness.
 
muzzz, you find my post somewhat convincing yet you vote for me. Why? Less zeal? Sint replied with the same things I quoted. Do you realise that what you're asking is for me to back down from him? Do you realise where that puts you? Especially when you try to instigate a lynching against me. It's not random tho. Lynching is the only way you can kill me. If I get mafia'd it means Sint is going down the drain. Am I still reaching?

The mafia trio - Sint, Moar and muzzz.

I'd like to see where'd you go from now and what'd you do. Remember, Sint is ignoring me.

@skunk and Lister: I'm not rude. You wouldn't like it when I'm rude.
 
Since everyone hasn't voted, the day will probably end in ~20 hours or so. Also, no one posting in this thread is retarded, so no need to call anyone retarded...
