JoeSapphire: Hypersomnia then goes on to interpolate the sentiment "Ah go suck an egg you can all die in a fire for all I care! After my lynch you'll see! You'll all see! Fools!!!" Which, oddly, makes me kinda trust him. Maybe I'm double-contrary.
avatar
Vitek: Heh, it makes me feel like only thing hecan do right now is to try to make us feel bad for him and not vote him.
Is this what we might expect from Hypersomniaclive? I kind of imagined if he was a mafia going down he'd be all calm and confident and rise above it. But I have no basis for that. Does he tend to flip out when danger looms?
avatar
gogtrial34987: And except for the Vigilante. So only the Doctor and the Roleblocker go from 1 full role to 1 full role + 1 1-shot.
Not that that matters, as I was talking about scenarios where town was getting two additional PR rolls (of course, I confused matters by saying "town gets an additional power" instead of "town gets additional power"). [...]
You're right, it doesn't matter, as you somehow (conveniently?) skipped my actual question on all this theorising.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Both Bookwyrm and Vitek have concurred that we're strictly worse for town than regular lovers, which was also the feeling that Joe and me had early on. One kill removes two town players, instead of it needing two kills. [...]
Wait, are you saying that you're not regular Lovers? (just kidding, I saw your EBWOP)

Weren't you the one that laid out to mchack how a Masons claim is typically/generally a policy lynch? Let me check that... yep, you were (post #783). Now, JoeSapphire said something about stray bullets, but NKs are not exactly stray shots, are they?


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Agreed. But before you seemed to be arguing that Lovers aren't worse than Masons, and now you're saying that the marginal utility of the day-chat doesn't balance out the [implied] loss of town power from Lovers. So I'm left somewhat confused what you were aiming for here. Would you care to clarify? [...]
I will once you've answered my question from post #925 that you skipped.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Well, I also think I spotted a breadcrumb at some point during the game. Could very easily be nothing (Joe thinks it isn't a breadcrumb), and I certainly won't point to this, as I have a hard enough time figuring out how to play my own role well, let alone trying to second guess if this PR should reveal. [...]
If I were a very cynical person, I'd might be inclined to read some subtle fishing here...


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Thanks. So would you say that your lack of vote on scene is indicative of you being town? [...]
I thought that the reference to Vitek's bus routes is a dead give away, but looks like I should have added a /S /jk disclaimer.

If you still want me to answer this question seriously, let me know.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] He also reiterated it in this game. Does this mean you doubt his statement? [...]
Why would you immediately think that my comment expresses doubt about his statement? I know that scum!trentonlf's very cool, so I can quite easily see him do what he said if it'd make him look more townie, I just haven't. Yet.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] that just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. [...]
It doesn't? Heh.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Everyone who voted determined the timing. [...]
While partially true, nice skipping everything else I said about your EoD3, thanks.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Because one minute later, Joe would claim, and I knew that conversation would be needing my attention? [...]
That's part of my argument, so... exactly.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Please reference where you get the impression from that Bookwyrm's day ending behaviour didn't affect my read of him? It most certainly did. [...]
Your post #723 begs to differ [emphasis added]

avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] I don't have Bookwyrm's experience to see mchack's claim as a certain fakeclaim, but I'm pretty strongly townreading him (despite HSL planting some seeds of doubt), so I'm weighing that certainty pretty heavily. [...]
If it most certainly did, then I have to wonder how much more strongly you were town-reading Bookwyrm627, and for what.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] If you flip town, what will that tell us? [...]
I already said what my flip will tell you. Unless you're asking me something else in which case, elaborate?


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] HSL is still obviously trying to solve the game; [...]
Why wouldn't I? In spite what you all seem to have concluded/decided, my win condition isn't [interpolated] "kill all the town!" And with "all" I mean all the town, of course; the mafia obviously knows, and has had the town dance to their tune for Days now.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] However, that also means that I haven't been paying attention to who all has been pushing the argument, and this just startled me into realizing it might be a significant pointer, particularly if you do get lynched and actually flip town. You mention Vitek and SPF. Anyone else? (If you have post numbers, I'd appreciate them.) [...]
If you haven't been paying attention to what arguments people make for their preferred lynches, what are you looking at when go back, and reread and check?

Bookwyrm627 used it too, but he's a smart and cunning cookie, so hasn't been hammering it. He was, however, the very first to bring it up D3 (post #552). Then mchack joined in, followed by SirPrimalform.
SirPrimalform should be the easiest, just ISO him, practically all of his D3 posts to me are about this.
Vitek's been hammering it in all his D4 posts when referring to me.


avatar
gogtrial34987: [...] Ok, so just the most and least scummy out of Bookwyrm/trent/Vitek?
I'm going to give my reads on all three of them. Why are you so interested in getting an answer to this?


*** *** ***

And while nobody seems to care, I did run the numbers, so if I didn't screw up somewhere:

- Lovers claim is false -
We're obviously not going to lynch one of them Today because of the risk of it being true after all.
This means a certain mislynch on D4, and LyLo on D5.

- Lovers claim is true -
We're again obviously not going to lynch one of them Today.
If we mislynch on D4, we're either at LyLo or MyLo on D5, depending on how the mafia want/decide to play it (go for the double-kill, or try and get us to mislynch them on D5 on the basis they survived N4).

Whatever the case, Tomorrow is most likely our last chance to put the noose around a scum neck, so the town lot better get their act together.


Reads will have to wait until tomorrow; it's gotten pretty late, and I want to cross-check a couple of things.
Another lost post after whole browser crashed. :-/


avatar
gogtrial34987: Given the "I'd kiss probably mutilate" weirdness in your phrasing: You're saying HSL=scum, trent=town, and Bookwyrm is in between, with you originally wanting to put him in the town slot?
Guh, I rewrote it and in the process messed it up. As the original has 2 positives and I preferred 2 negatives I wanted to change marry to mutilate and broke it. The kiss in that purt wasn't suppose to be there at all.

avatar
gogtrial34987: Thanks. So would you say that your reluctance to vote for anyone for most of this game, is indicative of you being town? Or just of your scum buddy managing to stay completely away from bus lanes and all other forms of roads?
I should say it is not that so it can't be said I am trying to look town but I guess it is the case. :-)
It is possible I vote more as mafia.
But considering that last time I was mafia was 7 years ago, it is hard to tell and everything could have changed since then.
I was exaggerating a bit before. I will not lynch buddy just for the kicks but as soon as they pick heat for something I will be very willing to push their wagon to the finish line.
I wouldn't say I am not willing to vote anyone. There is many poeple I'd like to vote most of the game, it is the matter who deserves my vote most at any moment that makes me stand my hand.

avatar
gogtrial34987: Any pointers to what shapes your thinking on HSL + trent working, and on HSL + Bookwyrm being less likely?
Hm, good question. Maybe they argued more? I actually am not sure. Perhaps it was just a feeling or I saw something when reading through the game but I can't remember it now.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Seriously? I very clearly stated in post #925 that I'm still not sold on the claim. And you're at "I get the impression"?

I don't have a main theory right now, nor an inclination; if the Lovers claim is false, it'd mean that the rest of you must be town, but that would mean that neither of you lot did a better job than me at being town-town, and neither of you put much effort into game solving/scum-hunting. And it is my reads on you (plural) that makes the Lovers claim possibly true, more than the pair's actions themselves.
Not sold is not the same as thinking they are lying.
That you don't have any inclination this deep into game is quite problematic, ain't it?
Most people said if there tend to believe it or not and I hoped to learn if you do but what I got was being "not sold" but having no inclination.


avatar
HypersomniacLive: Interesting. I could. I could also continue trying to solve the game, and lay out my reads before doing it, so that after my mislynch somebody might, just might, find something useful in them. Any particular reason you don't seem to really care about that?
The game is not moving much and that is no fun and reads are not something I am expecting form you anymore (you said yourself you have no inclinations so far) so there is no reason not to move things a bit.

avatar
JoeSapphire: Is this what we might expect from Hypersomniaclive? I kind of imagined if he was a mafia going down he'd be all calm and confident and rise above it. But I have no basis for that. Does he tend to flip out when danger looms?
No idea.
I have very little experience playing with him and I don't recall situation where I encountered him like mafia that is about to be lynched.
But it is not unusual to see mafia behave like that. And town sometimes too.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Bookwyrm627 used it too, but he's a smart ... so hasn't been hammering it.
Vitek's been hammering it ...
:-(
Sad but true.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: And while nobody seems to care, I did run the numbers, so if I didn't screw up somewhere:
I made a list going through all possibilities I could think of at the start of the Day but then I decided it could give mafia ideas so I posted ito nly in my personal quickchat. So it's not like I don't care, I just haven't gone public with it. :-)

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Reads
Huzzah!

HypersomniacLive: - Lovers claim is false -
We're obviously not going to lynch one of them Today because of the risk of it being true after all.
- Lovers claim is true -
We're again obviously not going to lynch one of them Today.
I think I posted it here already but the best time to lynch one of them was Yesterday. We would know right away and there would still be chance to rectifiy it properly if it was a miss.
avatar
Bookwyrm627: I can discard the T/S lover scenario though, based on your claim. [...]
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Is their claim the only thing that makes you discard this scenario?
Did I need anything else?

avatar
HypersomniacLive: I don't follow what the point in time of rolling the setup/roles has to do with anything Masons/Lovers related. Elaborate?
It is something of an advertising thing.

Assume that ZFR made the sign up thread before rolling to determine the exact setup. That means he's got the twist in mind, but if it is related to the rolls (like masons become lover masons), then there is no guarantee that the twist is actually in the game at all.

However, if he rolls first (before making the sign up thread or advertising the twist), he could then play with the setup some after seeing what he's working with, and he'll be able to declare that a twist is actually in the game.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: .............
Because keeping two confirmed town in the game is definitely so much better for the mafia team than only one, eh? Unless, of course, they all play like flubbucket, then you probably have a point.

...........
So much truth.

Unvote: HypersomniacLive


Vote: Vitek
avatar
trentonlf: I see your point and that should definitely be taken into consideration.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Question is, why didn't you see it before I pointed it out, and readily jumped to Bookwyrm627's tin foil hat.

avatar
trentonlf: Do you think gogtrial and Joe are lying? If both of them had been playing like Joe I could see it, but gogtrial has been pushing and poking to find answers and if he’s scum then I’ll be totally surprised.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: *raises eyebrow*

Wouldn't gogtrial34987 playing like JoeSapphire be a too obvious deviation from his town-game?
1. I believe Joe and gotrials claim and honestly couldn’t imagine scene being mafia with them, but after you pointed it out it made me realize scenes actions from this game, and last, was one of ignoring most of what was said to him. So if he was on a team with goagtrial and Joe that proving they have a Day chat shouldn’t exclude the fact that mafia could have a Day chat.

2. I don’t think I can remember a game in the past where gogtrial was scum and I’m not sure how he would actually play it, and so I don’t know if his scum game is close to his town game. My point though was that if he had been playing like Joe I would say he’s probably scum.
Vote count:

HSL - 2: SPF, Bookwyrm
Vitek -2: Joe, flub
Bookwyrm -1: trent

Not voting - 3: gogtrial, HSL, Vitek

8 players. Takes 5 to lynch.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: Now, JoeSapphire said something about stray bullets, but NKs are not exactly stray shots, are they?
Are you thinking that mafia will never unwittingly kill unclaimed lovers because they'd be wittingly killing unclaimed cops and doctors instead?
I'm not sure what your point is, but you might just have to agree that lovers are more harmful to town than masons.

flubbucket: Vote: Vitek
really? why?
Anyone up for some poetry?
we're ready? who's ready?

gogtrial34987: Anyone up for some poetry?
I’m ready

JoeSapphire: we're ready? who's ready?
Ready
gogtrial's got to disappear for a while so we'll try again in two hoursish. If there's still no-one around we'll just take a screenshot and move on with our lives.


joe's lynch preferences (hot to not)

trentonlf
bookwyrm
vitek
hypersomnia
sirp
flubb
gogtrial

basically through process of elimination. Sprimal because of supplementscene's vote. hypersomnia because of the way he's acted the whole game, and I see his recent frustation as 'argh why is no-one understanding why am I alone on this?' rather than 'You found me out i hate you all'. I could easily be wrong, but that's my feeling - if we were expecting a serial killer I think Hypersomnia's reactions would fit that, but just based on the one-kill-per-night pattern, I'm making a safe bet there's no serial killer (or it's sprimal). vitek because lately he's been alright and flubbucket voting makes me feel less special about being the only one who suspects him. bookwyrm's been very focused on proving whether or not we have daychat, whichis at least dominating my time and proving a big pain. trent's done a few things in this game that stuck in my mind as funny, but everybody else just said 'aw pshaw'. bookwyrm and trentonlf could be mafia buddies so they share hottest lynch title.


bookwyrm & trentonlf - Hypothesise Hypersomnia is confirmed somehow as mafia, who do you reckon his buddy is?
bookwyrm & trentonlf - HypothesomniacLive lynched and flips town - how do we find the remaining mafias?



Now a bit less than two hoursish after I typed all that...

trentonlf: Ready
I had to go afk due to a real life emergency, which luckily turned out less bad than expected. I told Joe to be back in 2 hrs, but if he's still around, I think we should just do this, even with only one witness.
avatar
JoeSapphire: gogtrial's got to disappear for a while so we'll try again in two hoursish.
Hah, simultaneous post with the 2 hours thing; that in itself should be proof already. :D
