I'll admit it took me far too long to get that than it should have.

Sathoris??

precisely, and I didn't find anything that makes me think something other than what I already posted and you're not refuting, so... *shrugs*

from post #420 where CG says that flub is agreeing with the 1 mafia per name thing. (Post 420 is flub's quoted portion above)So, to hammer this in...
flub said:All the talk regarding just one Harry, Ted, etc, being mafia isn't smart.
Both franklin and Flubbucket are pressing the idea that "one scum from each role". To me, this looks like they're setting up the groundwork for the above described gambit. I find that highly suspect. Anyone suggesting that we don't talk about a subject instantly gets my attention, and Flubbucket is suggesting that we simply accept assumption #2 as fact and stop talking about it.
This is not true.
I would like for you to CLEARLY point out where I'm "pressing" any issue. If you read Goryani's post #383 and to a lesser extent #387, the same idea is being conveyed. For some reason you didn't jump on him, why is that???
I already did. Twice, in fact. You even quoted the post where I did so. I can't give you any other examples, because you're not contributing anything else to the thread.
I am not opposed to your lynch, Glib, because of the aforementioned post by Caluin Graye as well as your 8 or so mostly noncontributing posts.
Good luck on the new job.
btw, did you ever claim?

You are Ted Fielding. You’re the good-natured and enthusiastic astrophysicist of the group. Despite your good intentions your often annoyingly enthusiasm inhibits your relationship with the others. Your drive to find something that will make you famous tends to come off pretentious and opportunistic.
Currently you have no abilities other than your good will.
And thats what I was calling your soft claim, not excatly I am Ted there flubb.

Goryani's proposed theory is opposite what thefranklin thinks. Since you agree with thefranklin, then what's the connection between you and Goryani?
No, it was coju who first tried floating the idea of 'one scum per character role'. He did it in a way that wasn't really clear, though. Goryani pushed against coju, stating that lynching all of one role to prove the theory was dumb. (Which it is). thefranklin agrees with coju (#344), and you agree with thefranklin (#397).
If anything, you have more of a connection to coju than you do Goryani. Three guesses as to whom else is high on the 'to lynch' list, and the first two don't count.
Flub claims the one harry, etc talk isn't smart. CG states that Flub is pushing that idea.
Concerning me being connected to flub/whoever: Nope. Not connected. Again, sorry.

Assumption #3: Characters are balanced. 20 players, four roles, means five players sharing a role. 21st player is odd man out, give him anyone random, meaning there's a sixth for one role.
Tying in Assumption #3 with Assumption #2: If I were mafia with the information revealed at the end of Day 1, I'd have one or two scum fake claim. If assumption #2 is correct, then they all have access to the proper, original role PM, so trying to catch them via trick words or what have you is not going to work.
For example, if the Scum Harry claimed a Norman, and the Norman scum got lynched, it's likely that the town may just stop looking at Normans for more scum. Eventually they'll go through all the Harrys, find no scum there, and wonder if perhaps assumption #2 is wrong, or if scum Harry is hiding amongst Beths, Normans, or Teds? That's the kind of gambit I would try to run as a mafia, and I can name a quite a few people in the thread that would likely come up with a similar idea.
I thought flubb essentially agreed with me. I said "bad" while he said "stupid." Six of one and half a dozen of another. He also made a point to bold "just one" which is a point I keep going back to.
I didn't get it either.
Also, can those who find me suspicious explain why (kegs, solar, ??)? Without some reason it kind of sounds like you're just trying to hide in the crowd by pointing out someone you don't like, and claiming you don't like some others, as well.
If it's because of the flavour of the pm I posted then you really need to get over that. The ability was the important part, the story was there for completeness.
Also, I said (a few times?) That I didn't use the ability because I didn't know I got a pm.
The wording of phrarphis' roleblock PM wounds exactly like the desciption of Harry: arrogant, unsympathetic, disdainful, and often uncooperative. I don't think any of the other Harry's had a bone to pick with the "scummy" part. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that scummy part is given to every Harry who receives a night ability either in the past or the rest of the game.
...they know that if we follow the movie that Beth and Norman will both shortly follow...
No one has been lynched. There are almost as many setup ideas as players. There re 4-6 duplicates of each role claim. Can anyone truly be said to be helping out much?flub hasn't helped out much.
Perhaps I misread you. I was under the impression that you didn't have a specific opinion on the setup yet, and were just advocating not going down the path of lynching an entire role (i.e., all Harrys).
In any case, that's not the important part. What makes me want to lynch flubbucket was the fact that he attempts to direct conversation away from a topic. His or your particular opinion on the subject is relatively unimportant to my vote on flubbucket.
"All the talk regarding [insert any point of conversation here] isn't smart." is the important part of his quote. Why not discuss things? If we don't discuss things, then we have a dead thread and nothing to lynch off of. Who does that help? Why is one of the lower post count folks telling us that we shouldn't talk about salient points?
I cannot stress enough how everything, except the individual actions of the mafia and town, have been generated randomly.
If this game works out I'll make a Mass Effect game, but the ME universe was too predictable for what I had in mind. Although if this system works I could make it even more complex in a ME game and incorperate all three ME games.
