But both only claimed faction without role. Crazy!

adaliabooks: I'm still not convinced, but at least your posting now and somewhat townishly.
Roommate is out of the hospital, so nurse duties do allow me to use a computer. Though if you were convinced of my affiliation (correctly or not), then I would be playing the game wrong ;)

Well... if I was convinced you were town (especially if you aren't) then surely that would be a sign of your skill?

adaliabooks: Well... if I was convinced you were town (especially if you aren't) then surely that would be a sign of your skill?
In my particular case, no. Quite a few of the veteran players do usually have me in the "Cannot get a read" category, so if I get in a faction category, my game is off.
Unless it's later in the game or I've claimed, in which case the read may be more justified.
avatar
RWarehall: I really still think every town should have a serial killer on a leash ready to be sicced on overconfident scum. But I guess that's just me!
If you were in our shoes, would you keep you around on a leash?


Would any townie false-claim such a role? If anyone has convincing arguments on that, please share. I assume not, so whether he's telling the truth or is lying about the specific role doesn't really matter - he can only be and is anti-town, and we should not keep him among us, leash or no leash.

If he's telling the truth about his role, the fact that it's a double role makes things double worrisome. He says he can't night-kill until D3, so if he's not lying about that condition, his ability would practically be useless to us for another two days; not to mention that the odds are higher for us killing a fellow townie than any anti-town. That is if we would trust him to actually carry out our orders, and not do his own thing. And in the meantime he could use his other ability, that of the Restrictor to pervent us from analysing info collected during the night.

Speaking of which, he says he's not sure how exactly it works. He says here that he believes it involves posts but the rest is in the hands of flub, so wondering if any of the excessive lurking might have been the result of RWarehall having already used his Restrictor power on someone. The question now is, if that someone is town, would he have come forward with it? Or would their silencing be done in such a way that they can't talk about it?
I apologize taking so long to respond. In my attempt to read through the posts late at night, I fell asleep.

avatar
CSPVG: Here it is then: I am Tequila Yuen, Town Cop. I too had a night zero action, which I used on Yogsloth. In an equally terse message from flubbucket, I was informed that Yogsloth is town. Now to address the problems arising from this.
Holy cow, this and the remainder of the post makes my head spin. I see more clearly how under-prepared I was coming into this. It also intrigues me all the more.

I don’t know what to think about the new development…my gut reaction is that CSVGP’s claims seems fishy or ill-advised at best. Right now my reasoning is going in circles (which was probably the point). I’m going to get some lunch and come back and look at this afresh.

TwilightBard: There is no way he 'stays on his leash', except that the next lynch will be his, and honestly that's something that can be solved by lynching him now instead of taking the risk. There's also no risk that he won't try to mess with town or play to some other agenda during the day periods until he can kill either, which leaves us the question of what would we do with him?
I think it's too risky, town doesn't win if he's alive, he's simply trying to buy time, for what I don't know but that's what it looks like to me.
Thanks for answering my question. I wanted to verify that there was no way to utilize him without risk. RWarehall should be lynched tonight.

avatar
cristigale: By the way, what type of a character has the ability to role kill? It sounds like an evil fairy godmother.
avatar
dedoporno: OK, now what's that supposed to mean?
After re-reading this several times, I first thought “evil” was what caught your eye, but later wondered if it might be “godmother”. Both came from same source. I was thinking of the fairy godmother in Cinderella (primarily the Disney movie). The fairy godmother changes Cinderella and nearby animals into something else (technically that is role changing but it’s the best analogy I had). Cinderella’s fairy-godmother was good, she had Cinderella’s best interest at heart. I took role-killing to be the opposite of this. That’s why I added the word “evil”.

HijacK: Who said anything about "opposite team member"? Given that normally you don't know who is what, you strip anyone of the ability.
No one did. I was guessing what it meant. That’s why I asked in the first place, I did not know and could not find a reference to it.
avatar
Lifthrasil: But to HijacK: your somewhat aggressive 'playstyle' doesn't sit well with me either. Sure, it might be intended to provoke reactions which can be analysed. But it might as well - or even more likely - be scum trying to stir things up to sow confusion. Add to this the valid point from ddickinson, that you were very vague and evasive in your reason for your suspicion, instead of sharing any valid leads you may have. Overall your behaviour still looks somewhat scummy to me. If you really are town, perhaps you could start to actually share your observations and not use general statements like "many things you have said" or "if you re-read the entire thread..." Those statements can mean anything and nothing and therefore appear more like a smoke-screen than like a genuine attempt to help.
I'm not gonna even bother with this. You question me when your best decision is to only lynch those with whose playstyle you don't agree. This is at least somewhat bitterly entertaining. Hah!

avatar
dedoporno: Why? A couple of people raised some questions with him, but the arguments there are far from solid. Also, he has a confirmed special power, whatever may it be. Why would we lynch a known ability on day 1? For the wagon alone? Is it really worth it?
For a power that some of the prize winner have indicated it may not be that game changing, I'm finding it interesting you defend it so much, even more so when the winner has behaved suspiciously, which may indicate a potential threat, more than a benefit.

avatar
RWarehall: For example Yogsloth who seems to think I'm am trying too hard for town points which somehow makes me look scummy (I mean, I guess calling out possible scum behavior is now proof one is scum)? Does that even make sense?
Scum can call people out for scummy behavior as well. So in a way it does make sense, though that is not the reason I voted for you. It's more because of the way you're trying to shove your views and opinion on the prize as a control constant for us in this game, which, conveniently enough, advantages you greatly.

avatar
RWarehall: Maybe I'm seeing things, but its funny the singlemindedness as both HijacK and Yogsloth are grilling prize winners. Did someone make a plan during their night zero chat to try to get a prize winner lynched?
I'm sorry, but I don't see myself piling with yogy on anything, and I don't see myself questioning Hyper or critin. I see myself questioning you for your scumminess, and with this WIFOM crazy post here my vote stays on you. I am am close to being certain you're scum.

avatar
adaliabooks: It was supposedly an RVS vote, the only real one cast, but you never removed it. Now you are pursuing HijacK, and while I can see the reasoning for doing so there is a part of me that can't help but feel you chose a target you thought you might be able to get a lynch on to "RVS" and have then waited for the opportunity to push it. This is one of the main things that has stopped me considering you as town, as it seemed off right from the very start, but not removing it once the game kind of got going and then pursuing HijacK really makes me wonder...
This is another reason why I put my vote on him. Seemed like a trap to me, so I reacted accordingly.

avatar
yogsloth: In the meantime, let me check "prepares rote OMGUS counter-offensive" off of my scum checklist. It worked perfectly against both adalia and HijacK last game, and here it is again.
I'd say it worked the best on you seeing how last game you managed to lynch a Town power role with the most outrageous theory ever.

avatar
RWarehall: I did a re-read, there's a Yog post where he tried to paint me as supporting serial killers. Cristigale makes a post talking about how the odds are that two or three of the prize winners are town (which is mathematically true) and HijacK jumps all over her basically calling her scum for "painting herself in a good light". Meanwhile, there are other questions being asked, curious situations, yet somehow, especially Yog, seems oblivious to every other controversy. It really kinda stood out to me on a re-read.
It is you who I call scum, not cristingale. Please don't change the subject, scum.

avatar
RWarehall: Now that has been HijacK's style, but at the same time it is hurting town.
What's hurting town is you giving yourself a free pass with your prize and putting words in other people's mouths.

avatar
yogsloth: snip
Where the hell is the matrix system? And thank you for confirming my suspicions of RWare. I begun to suspect him as as soon as he started giving himself bonus town points, but his last posts that I've read scream of desperation.

avatar
yogsloth: I expected HijacK to flip flop his vote soon and for the whole thing to fall apart.
You should know better than try to predict what I will do. My ace is that scum can never read me. That I make sure of.

avatar
trentonlf: I agree, and the bad part is my read was RW was being truthful and yog's was acting odd. But, after reading yog's post I would find it hard to vote for him. His post seems legitimate, and I can't see a scum throwing this out there and making himself a target.
This is why we don't often agree on lynch candidates. :P

Note to self: I feel good for knowing what "terse" meant before some native English speaking people. :P Makes me think my A in English 101&102 is genuine. :P

avatar
RWarehall: snip
So you're not scum, you're SK? Same thing, different color. No deal for me. Seeing how you can inflict damage upon town, I will keep my vote on you until you're going down.
avatar
adaliabooks: Ok. I have to say, I some what expected this. Not particularly from CSPVG, just in general.

Again, I'm not sure how I feel about you claiming now. But it's done so there's not much else to say.

I can't see a reason for you to lie and claim this (especially as you're not actually trying to discredit yogs claim or result)

But both your results appear to be accurate, so I don't know what to make of it. It's a shame we can't be sure of RWarehalls claims, because it might be an easy way to test and see if we have an insane or otherwise modified cop role. Probably a waste of a scan even if we could trust him.
Is he really not trying to discredit yogsloth though? Note please that I'm not 100% sure yet that yogsloth is the "real" or only cop in this game.

Reading CSPVG's post feels like he's taken yougsloth's claim and the scenarios he presented and, based on what the MafiaWiki says about sanities and bastard games, adapted/ extended them to fit his own claim, thus spreading confusion and doubt among us about yogsloth's claim and who the Town Cop is.
I would feel better about his claim if it hadn't come right after yogsloth's one (right after in the context of his frequency of posting). Unfortunately, we can't know if CSPVG would have made the same claim without yogsloth claiming Town Cop first.
I also find it suspiciously convenient for him to also have had a N0 action, and on top of it to have investigated yogsloth - if someone else had claimed Town Cop, would CSPVG have come out and claimed to have investigated them instead?
I'd also like to hear why he chose yogsloth, preferably before another day passes.

Additionally, if CSPVG is indeed a Town Cop, I have to say that it sucks big time given his playstyle and the fact that he's hardly around. I can only hope that now that he has claimed that he will be more involved, if he's actually telling the truth, that is.

FWIW, I'd like to point out, that Yuen is not a Hispanic word/ name or a made-up word to sound like a Hispanic one. At least in RwareHall's case, Lactosia is made-up to sound like a Hispanic word (the actual Spanish one being lactosa), and Intoleramos is an actual Spanish word. Mentioning it as there was some talk about names and possible significance.
The other difference between their names is obvious, I think.

And since modifiers and such were brought up, and after reading about the role in more detail on the MafiaWiki, I hope that the true or useful/ sane cop is not a Macho one.


avatar
Robbeasy: [...] And, one thing about Yogs wording - i've never heard a cop 'scanning' anyone before.

[...]
I think you have mixed up who used the term "scanned" in their post. I've reread yogsloth's post a few times, and he only says "investigated":
I chose to investigate the most veteran player that won a prize. I investigated RWarehall.
Th one to use the term "scanned" was RWarehall:
That Yog scanned me explains the hostile attitude toward me, [...]

I've had a reread of CSPVG's post to see if I misread it first time round, but while by posting it at all he is to some extent discrediting yogs, he could do much more to discredit it if he wanted. He's maybe aiming for a more subtle (and therefore believable) way of discrediting him, but I still don't really get that. It would be nice if he would come on and explain a bit further.

I don't find him having a N0 action odd. If one cop did I imagine all of them would (and with 18 players I doubt there isn't another cop of some sort out there)

As for the name... a quick google search turns up this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tequila_Yuen

So while the name is not all Mexican, Tequila is. And the character referenced is a cop. Either it's a very clever addition by CSPVG, or it's true and reinforces his claim.
Ok I stepped into the Twilight Zone didn't I? OK, that sounds weird coming from me, but seriously, what the fuck got us ANOTHER Cop Claim? I scanned this when I woke up, but I got shit to do today, so I can't stay long. No clue how to actually react to any of this, kinda saddened that it happened though. Am kinda amused by Warehall's attempts to get us to spare him from being lynched, but that's just me <.<.
avatar
Sage103082: I have a question about there possibly being two cops and the whole modifier may or may not be there thing. Wouldn't their pm tell them if they were paranoid or insane or whatever? Or is this actually something the mod can hide from them?
A bit late, but from MafiaWiki (emphasis mine):
Sanity may or may not be revealed upon death, according to the mod's discretion.
So, it is hidden, and may not be revealed at all.


avatar
DarkoD13: See? Yog and CSPVG have more in common than they could have ever imagined. Premature claiming.
Poor M. Freeman, exactly how I feel after the latest developments.


avatar
ddickinson: I would think it would be more beneficial to wait until closer to the deadline. It would give us a bit more time to see if anything or anyone else stands out. You can still lynch RWarehall, if you wish, closer to the deadline. Out of curiosity, what would the benefits be of lynching him now? Other than starting night time sooner?
As others already said, the use of "You can" is something to keep an eye on, despite your later explanation, and especially since you avoided my question.


avatar
ddickinson: So just because he has come out as a self-confessed serial killer, and just becomes SOME of the members think he should be lynched, does that mean I side with them without thinking things through? Do you expect me to join the wagon against RWarehall, just because some think he is the prime suspect to be lynched?

It's strange how some people choose to question my wording so much, is that just because I have not joined in and voted, or expressed willingness to vote for RWarehall just yet?
So, have you thought things through? And have you anything to say?


avatar
JMich: A townie with a power role may prefer not to draw too much attention to oneself. Getting into arguments is a way to draw attention, which may result in a lynch. You do need to know how not to draw attention though.
A scum would react similar to a power role though, to avoid the lynch possibility, and especially if he does have a night action, he could do similar things.
A vanilla townie would want to hint at a power role to attract a night kill (since that's what vanillas are for), so he would need to attract some attention, but not enough for a lynch.

Then we have WIFOM. If you know that a power role would try to avoid attention, doesn't that mean that you'd assume people who attract attention to themselves to not be power roles? And an attention avoiding vanilla may be thought as a hiding power role? Continue with the WIFOM until you can understand if avoiding attention means vanilla, scum or power role.

[...]
Thanks for the lecture, though my question was not a general one, but specific about your lurking. Then I didn't really expect you to explain yourself, especially to me, as that would defeat the purpose of your lurking. Wonder which of all the above I should consider applying to your case...


avatar
JMich: [....]

Not quite sure what can be gained from discussions though, especially if scum are aware of the scrutiny such discussions will be under now. Or I may be scum trying to force a lynch. Either way, Vote RWarehall.
Aren't you a tad too eager to finish D1 and terminate discussions?

Hmm... that's interesting, wonder how many will now do a search for their own name to see what comes up, I admit I did.
This also sheds a different light on yogsloth's refusal to state his own name - if names can be searched online and hint at what alignment each player may have...


It's getting late here, so here's a suggestion to anyone else tempted to come out and make a role claim.

HypersomniacLive: As others already said, the use of "You can" is something to keep an eye on, despite your later explanation, and especially since you avoided my question.
Well I did explain why I worded it like that, but if people wish to see something that isn't there, then okay. What question did I avoid?
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Aren't you a tad too eager to finish D1 and terminate discussions?
You mean the "I'm a cop, he's anti-town", "I'm a serial killer, keep me alive" discussions? What discussion should there be after those claims?
See CSPVG's claim. Does it make matter better or worse for town? Have scum gained extra info since that post of mine or not? What benefits will we get from discussions at this point that we won't if the discussions happen during day 2?

trentonlf: Why in the world did you thing now was a good time to claim CSPVG? If both your claim and yog's claim is true then all you are doing is handing the scum our two investigative roles on a silver platter.
For some reason, I doubt there are only 2 investigative roles. last game didn't have so many players and town still had 2. Or was it 3?

avatar
JMich: Inactivity post. CSPVG claim is a weird one, but one that can't be analysed that easily today. I do find noteworthy though the fact that no one believes we may have two sane town cops in our midst. Let's see how it develops though.
That is incorrect. I do believe in this probability. Not a lot, but I think it is possible.
