Also I understand that Joke Voting is important to some here, For me it never really worked, always that time where I tried to figure out where it ended. So its not bad to start a game seriously. Therefor... Vote Nark
rishaed wrote:The only thing I can say is.... Nark what the heck are you doing? The claim is/was totally unnecessary, and one or two vote wasn't going to be a huge deal.... The only thing it has done to town is muddy up the waters, hugely. You weren't forced into a corner and you weren't even the largest person with votes on them. And as IB said, this forum is notorious for lynching VT claims D1. Heck, I wasn't even asking you to defend yourself against my vote. Jak's about the only one who was pushing on you. Ignoring META, I actually over re-reads have found Jonty's case against Jak, decent for a D1 case... better than others I've seen. unvote vote Jak

X-Stor-X is right, you're not giving your own reads on people and presenting your own ideas, just sheeping everyone and basically saying you can't make up your mind.
If everyone in the game begins claiming Vig and VT, your little work would do us no good later on.
B. I was among the first to vote No Lynch, at which time I stated my reasons for doing so.
C. If there are multiple Mafia factions, he's still painting a bullseye on the back of his head.
D.Another possibility is that hes an SK, with investigation immunity.
E. IF that is true, then he still has painted a target on himself by claiming a vig/killing role.
F. I have multiply stated that vigs are one of towns best assets.
G. If hes fakeclaiming a vig role, and there is another vig out there, hes a dead man tonight anyways.
H. I have made up my mind, and put my vote behind it as well. And I am hardly going to believe every VT role that comes across, don't take me for an idiot.
Information is power, and right now I have precious little information to go off of.
Also sure Jonty may not be playing according to META, but that hold precious little water by me right now. Hes experienced enough to know that he will be caught if he is lying, and attracting huge amounts of attention is the last thing that he would need.
And as much as X-Stors reasons are good, I am not lynching a claimed Vig on D1, and you are right about the fact that I still haven't made up my mind on whether or not Nark deserves any credibility on his claim. You want me to change my mind, you need to present a better option to me today. I've reread 3-4 times already over the past few days. Also I do think that Jonty's second point on you in his initial case still holds merit. I call BS on the sheeping statement as well. All statements are statements made of my own opinions, and sorry if I like to keep some of my reads to myself. I express myself through my vote.

rishaed wrote: Ok Im assuming the two points are the the points about it being a killing role which I think I've already addressed in my last post.
Also yes, I'm taking a risk/reward stance on Jonty, but also because I have more of a townish feel on him currently. Also if there are multiple factions, there is no way to know if anyone is clean besides myself in this game. I don't have enough of a strong scum feel on Jonty to actually want to lynch him since he claimed vig. And since when have i not taken a stance. I have been very clear on my stance of NL today. Sure its a toss-up. And with two VT claims on the table, actually testing one of them through a lynch might not be the worst thing. Obviously RD and Nark are probably not going to vote themselves. I will re-read on the two this morning and post more about it tonight.
rishaed wrote:Okay, current thoughts on the Nark/RD situation. Narks early play was heavily erratic, however due to that we have three claims on the board.
Nark-VT
Jonty-1 shot Vig
RD-VT
It seems RD is quite a bit rusty and doesn't remember everything, which isn't a bad thing, however narks posts are a bit more cohesive and comprehensible. I don't have an extremely strong feeling of scum on either of them, but we need to test one of the claims.
Also Jak what you say initially has face value, but I earlier posted on why mafia wouldn't claim a vig role this early in the game. Also I don't think Jonty is dumb enough to do that so town can "control" the kill. Lets just say he gets nothing but trouble out of doing that.
Nark's play earlier today was a bit erratic though, and RD seems to be honestly confused on it, (not that looking terms up wouldn't solve anything).
unvote Vote Nark. I am going to go at the end with the initial feeling i got from his first few posts.

Roger Dodger was in that group, claimed VT, and flipped as such. Jak isn't wrong about people likely to be Villagers or not, it's just that that observation would be most useful to pull out when one of them claimed to see if it matches what they claim. At the moment it isn't real helpful.Whatsausage wrote:I'd like to see someone in this so-called VT group flip and see what comes up. Oh wait. Rish flipped. and he is scum.

Doesn't telling someone "hey we are going to lynch this other guy today, but we need you to claim just because" feel a little weird to you? Also, I fear that if we get too distracted looking at other people we will end up not lynching Jonty again.MudPuppy wrote:So jonty's at L-2 even though he's already claimed. I guess that means there is little support for getting another claim today. I really was interested in getting a jmac claim (or an IB claim, for that matter). I still feel RD was targeted by some scum (complimented by some policy votes) and would like to pursue that angle. Are ya'll lookin' to just go straight for the lynch??? If so, why the reluctance to get another claim? Fear of outing a town PR? I'm just a bit surprised by the voting today.
That's not what I'm saying at all. I haven't voted to lynch jonty today... I'm questioning why others are going straight for the lynch rather than trying to gather more info... I'm suggesting we pressure jmac... and not "just because"... but because he was the 2nd person to jump on the mislynch of a clear-cut townie (or at least that's how I perceived her)... and because a self-proclaimed Town PR stated he was 90% sure jmac is scum.spiesr wrote:Doesn't telling someone "hey we are going to lynch this other guy today, but we need you to claim just because" feel a little weird to you?

You just announced you are either scum or a Power Role. Nice move, dip.... VTs don't have names in this game...Whatsausage wrote:
My first thought: I am not as sold on the anark claim + reactions + RD flip = certain town for some people. I may be the only one; but I see hedging in anark's claim: he says he is a peasant, but maybe that might not be his name, and mentions "something about village", which is a no-brainer in a game called "village of secrets", of course us townsmembers have village mentioned. While it is possible that anark was worried about quoting the pm too closely, he is an experienced enough player to know that he isn't going to get modkilled for saying his actual role name. FOS anark Remembering that this claim came with two votes, I could see this as an early game attempt by scum to clear himself later by seeming to have knowledge of what an actual VT got in their pm. The people who reacted to his claim "in the proper way" who now seem to be certain town, could very well be his scummates. I'd like to see someone in this so-called VT group flip and see what comes up. Oh wait. Rish flipped. and he is scum. So much for the reactions clearing people of scum and PR.

RD was not a clear-cut townie.MudPuppy wrote:clear-cut townie.
I already said I saved the right to change my vote if I found a more scummier player and I have. Look at the posts I quoted. Rishaed, a now known to all mafia, was buddying up to the town "Vig". I think that speaks for its self. Why would scum want to protect jonty's vig claim? They could just ignore the wagon and secretly hope he gets lynched, but instead he actually attempted to defend Jonty.MudPuppy wrote:From my viewpoint we have two confirmed townies voting jmac. 1-2 town reads and some unknowns voting jonty... including a town read (jak) who switched from jmac to jonty after saying he was 90% sure of jmac's scumminess...

You definitely have the right to change your vote... but a 90% confidence level is exceedingly high in my book and I'm surprised you chose not to pursue the pressure you started.jak111 wrote:I already said I saved the right to change my vote if I found a more scummier player and I have.

I also did say 90% that means, 10% still unsure.... Don't get me wrong, I want info from Jmac, but no point in giving scum a potential PR to kill either (like for instance if he's doc by the off chance).
Sorry, I could have worded that better. I was trying to say of the folks voting jonty now, I have town reads on 1-2 of them (you being one of my town reads)... not that you had a town read on jonty.jak111 wrote:I do not believe (do not quote me on this) that I have said Jonty is town.
Yeah, she pretty much was. She was the epitome of a Village Idiot. I can see scum voting on her because she was an easy target to make a case on. I can see townies voting on her because of policy. I have a real hard time seeing townies voting on her because they truly thought she was scum.jonty125 wrote:RD was not a clear-cut townie.MudPuppy wrote:clear-cut townie.

In my eyes, Jonty may very well be scum... However, whatsausage's last post that caused me to put my vote on him sealed the deal... He said something to the effect of "we townsfolk" as if it was obvious that he was town, yet didn't have the basic town info to know that he was outing himself as scum.StorrZerg wrote:She was confusing and uncooperative. (which doesn't mean alignment )
Anark you got any more of them reads on your lynch? who also just so happened to FOS you?
Cause that just isn't enough for me to pull off jonty...

We can't really talk about that since it is an ongoing game.Iron Butterfly wrote:I have made my position fairly clear on Jonty and Anarch is Town in my book..
Today I believe the best lynch would be Whatsausge as well though Virus is on my radar as well. His list post raised eyebrows and he has not answered about his comment on the games he has played with Stor. No one seems interested in Virus at the moment and we need a consensus.
vote whatsausage

We can not talk about the game. We can however make note that it was ONE game. Ones meta and style of game play can not be determined by ONE game. I am not commenting so much on the "your game is off" comment so much as the fact that he made the statement in the first place.StorrZerg wrote:We can't really talk about that since it is an ongoing game.Iron Butterfly wrote:I have made my position fairly clear on Jonty and Anarch is Town in my book..

Iron Butterfly wrote:I explained why I pulled off Jonty. Mine was a initial joke vote, which band wagoned real quick. If I had kept my vote there without valid reason and he claimed and then was lynched I could easily have been targeted as scum/set apon. I do not believe Jonty to be scum. It is a stupid day one claim for mafia to make. I pulled my vote when I did because I recognized where it would put me. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
Second I stand by my case on Roger Dodger. I do not know how they played six years ago but she was not new to the concept of the game. Her initial votes and the one on Jonty were scummy. She was given countless chances to answer simple basic questions in her defense. Hind siight is 20/20 but even with people holding her hand like some special needs child she could not save herself.
We lynched a claimed VT. I would do it again having the three claims we did.
Iron Butterfly wrote:There are any number of scenarios possible. A smart Doc will always target a claimed PR day one. A town watcher would as well. I find it unlikely Jonty would target night one without a clue. I could be wrong. I also doubt mafia would target jonty because they would have no idea what PRs are out there night one. The low risk option would be to work around Jonty.
Rishaed voted for Nark. Knowing what we know now, this makes sense: seems like an easy target, but given that we've all seen that movie before it wasn't a play that was going to work.superkeener wrote:Official Vote Count 1.9
