@CG: boogey sums it up nicely here.

So you're hopping on early to what you hope to be an easy lynch, with no original reasoning of your own.

Right, got it. But, I'm confused... why are people considering you town again?

I'm confused about this post restriction, did you break it on those first two, or do you have two different styles to post in?

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

I don't see the logic in you voting for yourself when there were two viable trains already formed. I understand your reasoning in theory, but you doing that only made it less likely that we got a Lynch yesterday.

I went back and counted, since you mentioned two viable trains. Since you voted immediately after my post I counted yours and you're correct....sort of. There were 4 for corax and 2 for Asrrin and 1 each for Sathoris, Malevolent, and myself.

In retrospect....I'm stupid. I would rather say rash because it preserves my dignity, but I'm a middle-aged married man with kids....I've got dignity?!?!?

you're right. i could of sat here and quoted and typed for the next half hour, or i could simply reference a post that makes the same argument.
Because a lynch avoiding ability on mafia is really good?

if enough people call for it i will roleclaim, but for now trust me noodle is scum.

My restriction, a pattern of three

I'm not jerking your brain
Making my posts in this chain
Could make me insane

So cut me some slacks, this is really not easy
Flipping back and forth in this style is making me queezy

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

No not really, but we did have a bond if you can call it that.

Sorry if it's not as specific as you'd hoped, but you seem to have some pretty good deduction skills.

You've been as specific as needed ever since shortly after the initial claim while not baring your unmentionables for the whole world to see. Not everyone has wholesome thoughts after looking at one's underwear. After seeing Jimmy's name, I just needed to be on the watch for a certain minx from legal. There is a very good chance you would lie if you were that certain seductress, but at least you addressed the question.

I say this because it appears to me Noammr was some sort of an investigator. Perhaps he already knew something.

...

Most likely where the role blocking and what I was speculating the taxi/switching might possibly stem from. Don’t know just a wild guess.

Hmmm. More "merely speculating?"

I agree that investigator is a likely explanation due to the binocs, telescope, etc. There is more but I don't trust you enough to go down that path.

The other NCIS themed thought I had was some type of protection detail, in which case Noammr seemed to be a bodyguard that doesn't kill the attacker or was an attacker killed by the bodyguard (and said bodyguard doesn't die as a result). Or maybe Noammr was a bodyguard but the killer targeted the bodyguard directly.

And my one last farfetched thing. We all assume too much. Caluin Graye receives a stab wound and is automatically assumed to be town. I’m not accusing him of anything it is merely a point. The very last person to post, on day one, has also been quickly and quite admirably presumed to be town. The only person claimed to have visited with Feysal is dead. He hasn’t offered too much useful information but some very clever speculation. I only bring this up to keep people from making assumptions. Feysal if you’re town then wonderful. If you’re scum, academy award performance.

Caluin Graye is not automatically assumed to be town by all. Some are willing to observe while someone else does all the work. A lot of that seems to be going around this game. I have a strong inclination he is town, but, like my read on korialstraz, it doesn't yet reach the level of automatically assume.

Regarding Feysal, I believe someone said "if that role is in the game..." Who was that? :whistling: And funny you should mention Feysal. What crossed your mind when he worked in the Michael Larson reference?

[sarcasm]Also, I like how you give your reads on CG and Feysal in such clear and concise verbage.[/sarcasm]

Can't say I would trust anyone who says "Trust me he is scum" without further proof. On the other hand I can't remember Noodle have much for worthwhile quote for the entire game. Actually never even questioned anyone as far as I can tell. So I would be willing to go with this, otherwise flubb would still be my top choice.

Wow, is it just me or are these post restrictions getting worse? I would not hold a low post count against you today for sure. Although backwards Yoda is awesome. If nothing else you get a win in my book for that.

I guess 2 was a bit of a stretch. Stupid is as stupid does... (I never really got that quote)

I thought is was quite random. This was a role I had in one of Gorny's games. Don't know what significance it could have here though...

My role in this game is quite bland. Very attractive to look at, but quite bland.

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

Strange, I get the exact opposite impression of corax.

If corax isn't pro-town, are you thinking Cobb? Knife/scalpel and all.

I have never known a townie to have a need for an anti-lynch ability.

It might be needed for the mysterious double votes, double strength votes, vote steals, etc.

Lurking is what Noodle does, both as town and scum, so that's a null-tell. Unlike most lurkers, though, Noodle still casts votes, so doesn't contribute to a no-lynch like most lurkers do.

Noodle used to take offense to being called a lurker and confront the accuser at least somewhat. Then again, he used to not vote D1 while lurking and caught some attention while doing so. Has he evolved as a player or did he take precautions this game?

Regarding the post restriction, it looks like the 'communicable disease' theory still holds a bit of water. Rlyeh was the first person to comment on Uraj's status. In post #730, he's the first person to actually mention the words 'post' and 'restriction' in regards to Uraj.

If it holds water, it seems an incredibly odd mechanic for an NCIS game. flubbucket, should we be looking at recruitment?

Goryani, D2 as far as I know, look at this post by gorny 11 people and 12 votes on corax. Then 2 minutes later RE votes corax with out unvoting flub and it shows up on the first page.

Hmmm. Not only does Rlyeh have two votes on two separate players, but someone else's (not Rlyeh) vote counts double.

also money where my mouth is.

vote: noodle

Did Noodle know you have your mouth there?

This was a role I had in one of Gorny's games. Don't know what significance it could have here though...

Why yes, you did have that role. Didn't that role have a post restriction? What was it again?

Are you going to avoid answering all direct questions this game?

 

[flubbucket1]

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

About the post restriction, I think infection is more plausible.

And as far as the Michael Larson role, all I remember was Gorny told me I would be getting a bunch of spins and the out come didn't matter because he already had it scripted based on the gameshow scandal.

 

[flubbucket1]

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

I'm referring to the post restriction in this game. I don't remember a restriction from the other game.

 

[flubbucket1]

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

I just did a search and found that old game. I had a different restriction everyday. What made it fun was I made them up myself, they weren't from Gorny at all. Had a great time with it.

Re: Witch Hunt: The NCIS Haloween Forum Mafia Thread

Yes I have to smurf like a smurf.

And it's smurfing smurfing!

I smurf post smurfs. I smurfing smurf it.

Can someone smurf me? Or maybe I should have smurfed when Noodle was smurf, since he was the smurf.

Found this.....:rolf:

I'm at a disadvantage, since I don't know the lore of NCIS. My thoughts are based solely on the mechanics, and my gut tells me an anti-lynch ability is more often associated with scum than with town.

Your second point, however, does make some sense. I still have suspicions on corax, though, mainly because I do not like how he approaches the forming Noodle lynch.

Noodle used to take offense to being called a lurker and confront the accuser at least somewhat. Then again, he used to not vote D1 while lurking and caught some attention while doing so. Has he evolved as a player or did he take precautions this game?

I asked a question a bit ago about why people were voting for Noodle. Booger's answer I liked quite a bit, even if he was just pointing to an earlier case, but it's a solid one and well thought out. Shows he put thought, effort, and work into it.

I was mainly after those people who pushing on Noodle due to his 'lurking' (*coughASRRINandCORAX*cough*). I find that line of reasoning to be extremely scummy, mainly because Laarz has a lower post count. The gap widens slightly more when you remove any 'fluff' posts (those with no real content - noodle has two, Laarz three).

Yes, it's true that Laarz was absent Day 1, but even with a few posts (three is about his average?) that only puts him in the ballpark of being even with Noodle.

So... my point was; if we're forming a lynch on Noodle because he's a lurker, then why has nobody mentioned Laarz yet, who's lurking harder than Noodle?

That's why I find corax scummy right now. He sees an easy lynch forming on Noodle and isn't doing any real scum hunting of his own.

Asrrin I find scummy for a slightly different reason, but I wanted to hear his reasoning behind his Noodle vote before I mentioned it. Since I'm already divulging, might as well say it now.

Can someone refresh me as to why Corax is under fire? Other than being a lurker? I'll vote for him to lock a lynch, but I'd feel better if I knew there was more to it than lurking.

As for today I want to try lynching another lurker. Luckily for us Corax was lynch immune, and from the story is pro-town. So the chances that our other lurkers are mafia is just that much greater.

Vote: Noodle

This little bit of hypocriticism I find interesting.

Bolding for the parts I am referring to.
[ignore]I've been doing my best to be sure and read everylittlething posted here, and I see why I wasn't before.... so here we go[/ignore]
@CG regarding corax: If he is still(still because it may be a 'one-shot,' didn't corax say something to that extent?, ordeal) lynch-prove, what are we supposed to do about that? Try lynching him again? If so, we have to be sure and tie his hands up.
@CG regarding Asrrin: I don't see the hypocrisy here. I do see that Val has the least posts of them all afai-remember. Noodle, though, seems to just jump on other wagons after they've formed up. Don't remember reading much besides that from him.
