Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

Finally someone that can actually give a good reply. Yes I've been too focused on content, but for a very good reason. I know Drixx is pro-town, but I don't know of any abilities, so when he says he's VT I believe him. Also one of the reasons why I focused more on the content and not the reasons behind them. But I very much appreciate the tip, and will keep that in mind when progressing into this game and others in the future.

Might as well give your full roleclaim with your name. Your name so that if scum don't get fake claims(which is usual) that they can't use yours. I hope the you'll get protection and that there isn't a role blocker. Did you check your sanity already? Even if you know your sanity, there's still the possibility of investigation immunity. I personally wouldn't have come forward to try to clear someone unless I had at least one guilty result.

I'm really curious to see what was inside that code now. If it was a basic message to a cop for who to investigate, I don't see what the harm is having that in the open.

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

Was it really necessary to claim that now, when it wasn't necessary today?

Yes I believe it was. We're all saying it, I'm out to do it. This whole obsession over Drixx needs to stop so we can focus on something more productive.

Good catch. Certain knowledge claim is bad on day two.

There are only two avenues here now, and neither really is very good for the town. I almost certainly need to be lynched to determine whether his subtle role claim is true, and when you find me to be a townie, he will be night killed because of his role claim.

My life was almost not savable, there was no purpose in that

Also, does anyone else find it weird that Sarth cleared me yesterday but has now built an almost frantic case against me to save zemaj?

Lynching isn't the only way. Letting you live is another. If you get NK'ed, you're probably not mafia. And there's probably a way to confirm if you're town or not without a lynch later on.

All I asked earlier was a little bit of faith...

And yes I do find that weird, although he set out to build a case against Zemaj. I was a bit surprised going back and re-reading the first few pages, as a lot of it was blurry from all the D1 shouting. So a little surprised on Sathoris stance, but not that much.

He's been consistent in wasting our time and defending himself. His 'making conversation' involved OMGUSing like crazy and then ending up defending himself. A true townie would make conversation by scumhunting. He has NOT been doing that.

There hasn't been a single pro-town action in his play.

True enough, but I still believe his way of playing has some merits to it. I generally keep an open mind, and will do so in this game as well. While he's style is different than most of the ones used here, does it mean it's wrong? What we consider scum tells could vary from what other groups of people consider scum tells. Apart from the most obvious things as major slip ups and voting history alongside lynches. And we've not got any lynches to go on yet.

Did you consider the possibility that Drixx was posting a lot to get noticed?

Are you implying there might be a recruiter in this game?

No, Drixx is right. By claiming, you've sealed his fate. Sorry, but he needs to be lynched to confirm you. After all, you could both be mafia and you're just trying to save your pal. We won't know until one of you two is lynched, and since he's the vanilla...

Imo it's not to the towns best interest for me to role claim at this point, as there are others ways of gaining information besides being a cop or barkeep (I believe he can gain information too).

I'm also very curious to see what's inside the code. Spent a few hours trying to decode it, but with only a clue on it being over 2000 years old didn't go a long way. The information from google turned up forms of encryption being used as early as the egyption time. Spartans using it around 400 BC IIRC and several methods all clumped together around the 1400-1600 AD era. Tried a few different methods (Caesar, Vinegere, pigpin or whatever it was etc). But I guess my knowleadge of cracking codes isn't good enough for that one.

So long as you don't intend to trust me, hence my question earlier. Don't get me wrong I don't want others to role claim to or reveal and ability just to clear both me and Drixx at this point. Just saying it's possible so long as he isn't NK'ed.

Godfather crosses my mind.

Well if there is a recruiter, then it is a chance my information is obsolete.

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

You know it's kind of funny. I posted that code to make a point, and ended up making the opposite point instead. It's simply a type of colmnar transposition cipher. I'm still rather shocked that nobody has cracked it. I didn't save the source text exactly, but it was a pretty vanilla message asking the sheriff to look into me.

It was simply a whim. I figured as quickly as people were picking up on codes it would take most folks a few moments to get it.

But yeah ... it would be better to kill me today than to kill nobody, but I'll be sad just watching.

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but korial why would you out yourself so early in the game for a VT, why not use that info " the reason you know Drixx is pro-town" to check out other people and things going on in the thread? Somethings not computing here.

 

[Noodle]

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

Korialstraz, Korialstraz, Krasus. How could you know if Drixx, or anyone else, is town? By either having a townie power role, (in which case you've pretty much put a 'night kill me now!' target on your back), or you're mafia and you know Drixx isn't part of your group. I don't see this ending well for you, I'm afraid.

I may apparently not be the sharpest knife in the drawer too, and probably should've just let things run it's course until right before going to bed, and choose my vote then. But honestly I was getting extremely frustrated over this pushing and prodding.

Speaking of sleep, I'm going to bed soon, and unless people thing otherwise, my vote stays on zemaj. Aproximately 30 minutes until computer is shut off.

"I was just theorycrafting."

When did I say this?????


Incidentally, about CG being bussed...

Normally, only the busderiver and killer would know whether or not CG was bussed.


Not a "NORMAL" game. This is a Gorny Game. Be ready for anything.....

It was simply a whim. I figured as quickly as people were picking up on codes it would take most folks a few moments to get it.

Obviously I'M not as smart as you.


...better to kill me today....

I love drinkin' me some Kool-Aid.....

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

So...I say sensible things I get ignored. I spew foolishness I get attention.

I know which button this chicken is gonna peck for food...:nod:

All I can say is ..... Peck all the buckets!

well... it is now the time I said I would roleclaim (phase-change -6hrs)

however, things have changed a bit since then... I am still leading for a lynch, but the winds are shifting slightly & as such, I think it prudent to hold off for the moment. An official vote-count would be extremely helpful in this decision. (hint. hint)

I agree with Drixx on this, if you were a VT, you would have likely have already claimed. If I was one vote away from getting locked and I had a town power role, I would be claiming so that the town had an exact idea of what they were doing. Because at one vote away, why would a mafia not just lock you, especially if they thought you were a power role? So this leaves you as likely being mafia buying time to come up with a legit role claim.

Yes I believe it was. We're all saying it, I'm out to do it. This whole obsession over Drixx needs to stop so we can focus on something more productive.

Lynching isn't the only way. Letting you live is another. If you get NK'ed, you're probably not mafia. And there's probably a way to confirm if you're town or not without a lynch later on.

This actually matches what I am thinking. If we lynch Drixx, we can confirm your alignment as town and your reads as correct. If we don't lynch either it remains a guessing game on if we can trust you unless one of you gets killed. If you get killed, we can believe you, but we lost a power role to save a VT. And I doubt the mafia would kill off a lightning rod like Drixx when they can keep him around to disrupt things further. Although I still think that zemaj seems like better choice today, so I am fine with waiting to see if a better lynch than Drixx shows up tomorrow.

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

Regarding zemaj:
Some floating under the radar guys needs some prodding by a certain finger when I got plenty of energy and time.

Is that a yellow touch or a red touch?

As for me being absent for the beginning of the day, trust me, I would have much rather been home on time, making the first post of the day instead of being elbow-deep in machinery. If it makes you feel better, a play-by-play of said mechanic-work (spoilered for those who could care less):

Spoiler

After spending the night camping, we got up, went hiking for a bit & then started packing things away. After getting all the gear packed, when we went to start the truck & it wouldn't turn over. My bro then said it sounded like the starter solenoid which he had already had problems with & replaced twice... he also said that he had a spare back at his place that he had gotten at the same time, just in case. So we all load up into the car, go back to his place & drop off the kids/his wife, pick up the parts & tools, and head back out (for reference sake, this is ~2hr, each way). When we get there & he starts to crawl under the truck, I ask what he is doing since every solenoid I ever had anything to do with was easily accessible from the hood. He informs me that the moron who designed this particular model decided it would fit better tucked behind the alternator & attached with bolts about 1/4" shorter than the space you have to work in... to which I respond with various & sundry expletives. After getting the solenoid out & replacing it, the truck still will not start. Since it certainly seems like an electrical problem, we start trying to figure out what else it could be, only to find, after much poking around, there is a blown fuse. So we get back in the car & drive to the nearest town with an automotive store that is open on a Sunday, which turns out to be a Wal-Mart slightly less than halfway back to his house. Get back to the truck, change the fuse, finally starts up fine. Since I have to drive his car back to his place anyway I decide to stay over & being dirty/tired from working on the truck on top of being dirty/tired from camping & hiking, I forego checking in to the forums in favor of a shower and bed. Next morning I have to get up early, drive 1.5hrs before I get to work, then work most of the day. Getting home, I unload/unpack everything & log in to find a train thundering at me.

:thumbsup:

That story almost makes me want to keep you around till next weekend just to hear part two. Almost.

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

I need some definite answers on who you want lynched today. I will not get up in the middle of the night to place a vote.

As right now how I see it, if zemaj is lynched and ends up pro-town, we can still go back and look at vote history (or what there is of one) alongside posts. And if Drixx or I turn up dead, then the other is most likely town right?

If we lynch Drixx, I'll be cleared, but zemaj is still uncertain.

Korial went from suspicion of Drixx yesterday to actively defending him today. He certainly seems to be acting like he got new information.

I was actually just playing along to avoid looking suspicious. I saw Drixx wasn't making any major slip ups (despite making a lot of noise). So I felt pretty confident he wouldn't get lynched.


Alright I've stayed up longer than planned. I got work coming up in about 7 hours and 40 mins, so I'll be heading off within 15-20 mins.

My views on all of this. If Drixx is lynched, I'm confirmed, and a HUGE target for mafia. If we lynch zemaj we'll have some posts and votes to look at for scum hunting, and either me or Drixx is killed more or less confirming the other being townie.

To me the latter scenario is preferably. So unless everyone else wants to lock Drixx, I'll leave my vote on zemaj when going to bed.
