In a lengthy post where you finish by placing a vote on me, why is one paragraph randomly "obviously" a joke. You completely switch and talk about yourself as if you were another person. There doesn't seem to be a purpose to it. You're acting like a VI except there isn't meant to be one this game.
1. Are you seriously playing the "Lynch me if you want" card? That won't earn you any brownie points, you know.
2. "Gory keeps making assertions which are either obviously untrue". Seems it isn't that obvious to some of us folk. Care to enlighten us?
I wish I could enlighten you. I still have no idea how he concluded that neither group of votes that got BPC and then him to 1 shy of lynch could have contained 2 mafia and therefore mafia could have locked one or the other but chose not to. I've been quite confused since he said that because it seems to require knowledge that I don't have to say that with any certainty.
I might be a bit out of shape here, but correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't the process of going back and rereading posts after other bits of information have been revealed a major part in catching mafia? Now, my thinking might be flawed here, but if you think that going back and rereading the thread (or other games if necessary) is a waste of time, then you are not interested in catching mafia and making connections between players, ergo you have a different agenda.
Why are you so intent on twisting what I said into more? I went through specifically to see what in the voting results could prove that both mafia were not involved in both near lynches, and I couldn't find it. Therefore I wasted my time trying to find what Gory was implying was there for all of us to see, because I didn't find it.
The act of re-reading the thread regularly to try and find scum isn't a waste of time, and I never said it was. Why are you so intent on taking my statement that the specific act of trying to find something in the thread that gory implied was there ended up wasting my time and stretching it into me saying that I'm (quoting you here now) "not interested in catching mafia and making connections between players, ergo you have a different agenda."
You're stretching my comment an awfully long way. I will try and assume that you're doing so to see how I'll respond rather than for more nefarious purposes.
Drixx: Out of all the games you've played, how many times have you been mafia?
All of the games I've played ever? Well, back when I was a teenager, more than a couple decades back, I first played mafia with my youth group, and I was the Godfather once and a regular mafia another time. I won so convincingly as the Godfather that from then on I was routinely killed early on just on principle.
If you are asking a more restrictive question concerning how many times here on these forums, the answer is zero ... unless you count the "mostly vanilla" game in which I was a townie who was actually the mafia, or something. I'm still not sure I quite understand exactly what was going on in that game, apart from it being quite fun.
I think the underlying question is whether I change how I play depending on role, and the answer to that is that I d not. I've been a vanilla townie lots, a back-up doctor once, a party host once, and a cop once. I'm pretty sure I generally press people when what they say doesn't make sense to me, and I tend to play actively which has the unfortunate negative effect of sometimes giving people cover to lurk behind. I'm not sure that just lurking would be a better way to play though.
You said you wasted your time charting out the possibilities. Post 166 implies you had the proof ready. It sounds like you could come up with a scenario where BA wouldn't fear mafia causing a mislynch.
Here's what you said that confused me:
A single vote would have caused one of two possible lynches. Scum had two votes yesterday. There is no set of two players who voted for both BPC and I. Therefore, scum would be in a position to decide to lynch either one.
From my notes on the way votes were cast and uncast throughout the day, I do not see how you can say that neither potential lynch (you and BPC) had both mafia in it. Your assertion reads to me like an accusation that Bad Ash's actions put it into scum's hands to lock either lynch, and yet there was no lynch. If both you and BPC are townies, and we know that at last one of the lynch groupings couldn't have contained both mafia, why weren't one of you locked?
The only way I can see that you would have the information to say for sure that neither lynch wagon had both mafia involved is if you had information not available to the town at large. The only way you would have such information would be if you were one of the two mafia or if you were a town power role. I can totally understand why you would dodge the question in the latter case, but since I picked up on the implied knowledge that didn't add up, it stands to reason that better players than I (most everyone in this game) would also, so you would have already outed yourself with that implication.
The reason I've asked you to walk us through it is because I genuinely don't understand how you arrived at that conclusion and I'm quite open to the possibility that I simply missed something obvious to everyone else.
So the possibilities, as I see them are three:
1.) You're scum and you slipped by exposing knowledge you had that the town didn't.
2.) You're town power role that has information and were trying to fly under the radar and get suspicion on the right person or at least off of an innocent person.
3.) You were simply working with info in the thread plain for everyone to see and I've missed it despite now going two additional passes through to try and find it.
I'm quite open to the possibility that I've missed something, which you could easily point out by walking us through your thought process. If #2 is the case, I'm quite sorry to have brought so much attention onto you about it. If I were scum and you were not, I would already know you were a townie and the slip would have gone unmentioned by me and I'd have night killed you. Just being honest about how I'd have played it.
If #1 is the case, then I suppose you won't be able to walk us through the thought process and clear up how you knew neither lynch train contained both mafia, and if you cannot explain that, I should hope the town would see that as suspicious, because it's the driving reason I'm pressing you hard during this day phase.
At times your responses have seemed scummy. At other times they've seemed townie. You're somewhat difficult to get a read on sometimes in this game. The only person who gives me more trouble is Sathoris, lol.
