Well we do have the conga line of activity and my dude, neb is fairly active, and I assume the others are keeping tabs. I mean is isn't flawless, but I am sure people are being semi honest, if only to keep their own post count up for minimal amounts of cost (easy to call out an inactive and "contribute") Anyhow D3 I'll probably make a list of total post counts, and time since last post and a few other datapoints. No real need now, with the runoff thing inactives are a minor threat to the town, and we have a fairly proactive mod when it comes to killing/replacing.Lootifer wrote:Back. Lots of catchup to do.
Just quickly: Who are our inactives right now? Considering in a quick skim I didn't spot my name (other than Aage) at all I really get the feeling that it would be super easy for scum to just fly below the radar right now. We just need all townies to step and be active; shake it up a bit and see what drops out the bottom.

For now, yes. Early game hardly interests me. Most arguments tend to be about how emotional/bitchy/meta a player is. As for Jak, he got pissed off at someone and used his power to kill them. That person flipped town. You would be giving him a pat on the back if it was scum/3rd party. If he's telling the truth, which I believe he is, then he's going to be a pain in the ass for mafia. He's more useful to us alive. I'm not sure who to go after but it isn't Jak or Betiko.DoomYoshi wrote:That's all you have to say today?????sheepofdumb wrote:I wouldn't worry about him.

So you used your vig action before you could be killed? STUPID. I understand the fear of death but it really is something that we can not control in many respects. Some times the best course of action is to just be quiet and lay low when you have something more tangible to work with. You want to change your meta start with that.
Your only saving grace right now...well two actually, as others have suggested I doubt if you were mafia you would admit you killed Zivel. The other is that Betiko is mia and has not posted.

That seems a bit unfair. I don't agree with sheep's analysis of Jak but I can see where he's coming from. Perhaps you're just trying to prod him a bit to make some more useful reads but outside of these meta reads I haven't found a whole lot else of significance to go on. I did get some initial Town reads but I'm not sure how much I can trust those yet.spiesr wrote:Unvote, Vote Sheepofdumb then for vocalizing the intent not to make meaningful contributions during the "early game."

Ya...haven't heard this ever before...betiko wrote:hey guys i'm here.... tons of catch up to do on this game hope to be on the last page within a couple of days!
I never said I wouldn't make meaningful contributions to the early game. Jak has been hammered for two days. First it was because of his "meta" then because he got aggravated. Now he's being voted on because he killed Zivel. While that is a lynchable offense it seems very wasteful and spiteful to kill someone who is essentially now a doc. Hopefully Jak will learn that using your killing ability because someone annoyed you is wasteful. Now Jak, you won't have your kill in the late game. Your also now a mafia target because docs are rather annoying to deal with. If I was you I'd save the bus driving as long as you can. Nothing drives a killer up the wall more than trying to figure out what the bus driver is going to do that night. Especially when there's like 5 people left in the game.spiesr wrote:Unvote, Vote Sheepofdumb then for vocalizing the intent not to make meaningful contributions during the "early game."sheepofdumb wrote:For now, yes.

Since you don't favor voting Jak or Betiko, and have no interest in early game... what do you favor doing? Voting no lynch and waiting for a few more days/nights to go by before finding someone to go after? Or just sitting back and scummarizing doing nothing? FOS sheepsheepofdumb wrote:

What did I misunderstand about the Jak case? It seems mostly based on his saying his meta would change, and then his overreacting to when people jumped on him about that, ending with him vig killing one of the people accusing him. I voted him day 1, and almost did during the runoff also (except I got distracted and missed the deadline). However, based on his posts today, I get more of a town feeling from him, and the feeling people are voting him more based on they don't like how he's playing, than that they actually think he is scum. As of now, I don't think he is scum, so I won't be voting him today unless something changes my mind again. I would much rather go after a scummarizer who has no excuse such as Betiko.jonty125 wrote:Firstly, I'm going to FOS hotshot for completely misunderstanding the jak case and then making a poor defense on his behalf.

Major FOS on Betiko. He doesn't even have the decency to say that he had been keeping up. He's been active on the other parts of the site, but conveniently missed this one?
Fp'd by Hotshot.
Why because I pointed out that his behavior doesn't seem consistent with what I observed him playing as with another anti-town role? I am okay with a betiko lynch. I am just saying that it doesn't fit with the meta for him being scum that I have observed in the past.DoomYoshi wrote:Also, major fos on strike wolf... there are no RL reasons for betiko's absence as he has been posting in the rest of the forum!

See I like FOS's like this, I am not sure whether you're cluing in or not. But most of the people voting me aren't doing so because they really think I'm mafia, half of them admitted to it as/before they placed their votes down.jonty125 wrote:Firstly, I'm going to FOS hotshot for completely misunderstanding the jak case and then making a poor defense on his behalf.
Vote 1 after me outing. Not voting because he thinks I'm scum but for a "policy lynch".Jmac1026 wrote:At this point you're practically a policy lynch, in my books. I fail to see any reason to not lynch you before the end of the day.
Vote jak111.
Vote 2, no where in this did he state he believes me to be scum. Just that I screwed up with my night action.Rodion wrote:Vote Jak.
I feel like I don't even have to explain my vote, but basically he vigged town instead of investigating + targeted someone that was not his biggest scumread (evidenced by how his last vote - other than no-lynch - was not focused at Zibel, but spiesr) + is refusing to cooperate (phrases like I'll do what I want or don't tell me what to do) + killed Zivel to get "reads", yet didn't provide a single read out of Zivel's death so far.
Vote 3, again, no where in it does he say he believes me to be scum.aage wrote:So Jak, as I understand it, you're saying that (a) you are a JOAT that used his killpower first chance he got to resolve some petty feud about someone "trying to kill you" during day 1, and that (b) you are town and we are stupid to believe otherwise... while at the same time, the kill that you claimed is the only kill that went through in a 22 player CYOC game. This brings about the assumptions that (a) we likely have more than one way to protect town against the night kills, (b) most of these were successful after a highly unproductive day, and (c) the mafia did not roleblock you which means they have no roleblocker (which is strange in such a big game). You can throw all the wifom you have against that last one, but if I were a mafia roleblocker you'd have been my primary target last night.This is just plain wrong. The bold part is the problem. A town-aligned killing PR especially becomes useful with a bit of knowledge; it basically is an investigation that never yields a false result. If you had claimed unlimited kills, I wouldn't have minded as much, but you just gave away your most powerful weapon on a hunch, which is why I painted the second half of that phrase red. We had next to nothing, and now your role has become a lot less useful.I killed a guy in the night I believed to come up as scummy for what we had and my other powers are not as useful without a bit more knowledge from others.
But I must assume you knew all that. This is not your first mafia game, not even close. Even you should realise that this is a no brainer. Vote Jak. I'm going to agree with Anark on this one: you really should climb off that high ivory tower of yours, because chances are we'll burn it down.
I'm all for more discussion and scumhunting while the day lasts, but I very much doubt that my vote will change or that I will remove it at all.
Vote 4, again, a "policy lynch" nothing about thinking me being scum.strike wolf wrote:I may agree with Edoc'sil that we should hold off on lynching overall but I waited on voting jak before and this is the result. Vote Jak. At this point it's as much policy lynch as anything. If you are town, this isn't the first time you acting in an arrogant manner has unfairly cost a townie their life. Not to mention that you've made it quite clear that anyone who disagrees with you is potentially going to fall into your sights. One shot or not, town cannot afford loose cannons who cost other townies their lives. So I want you lynched not just for this game but as a message to all games where this could happen. You claim Zivel you found Zivel scummy. I disagree. Okay, that's not by itself lynchable. What is lynchable, in my honest opinion, is that, on top of your flawed logic and theories (I don't even care if they are off as much as that you often refuse to acknowledge when they are wrong or unlikely) and OMGus vote on Spiesr, you took the MOST DRASTIC measure on NIGHT 1 to test this. Okay, you don't have an investigation. Do you have a role block? or even any ability that involves a role block as part of the ability? Even waiting around and trying to start a case the next day is preferable to the action you took.
Vote 6, did not mention a thing about finding me scummy.jonty125 wrote:vote jak and this time I do mean jak. Shooting N1, is a risk, and it didn't pay off.
The clock guy, has just screwed mafia over and you want him to come out. Anybody else having a hard time processing that?jak111 wrote:If anyone should be explaining things, it should be this clock guy. It's not mafia role as Mafia definitely failed last night. So it's either a premature town role or a third party role.
Also, jak, you need to breathe. Look at yourself, multiple people are saying you are on a high horse / ivory tower / other metaphor. Now we can make two conclusions from here 1) It's a conspiracy and everyone is out to get you. 2) They are right. No more needs to be said on that matter I believe.
Vote 7, another policy lynch basically. (IB pulled off later to vote the Betiko inactivity wagon).Iron Butterfly wrote:We had a bad storm and internet was down,,,Time Warner sucks. all I could think of was the clock person, my pony and the day ending early.
Everything that could be said about Jak has been said I think. Its pretty much same crap different game. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I remember Jaks first game where he introduced himself in this big wordy speech saying his goal was to be considered one of the best mafia players. Listening to him rationalize bad decisions IF he is indeed Town is annoying as hell.
He is a Joat who had a vig ability. Maybe i read wrong but he seemed to say that he had to use it or lose it night one?
Anyway vote Jak
Vote 8, first vote to vote me because he believes me to be scummy.MudPuppy wrote:Jak's new meta sure looks a lot like the play style I've become accustomed to (though, it admittedly took me a while to catch on): multiple OMGUS votes driven by people "tunneling" him and reads based on gut feelings that seem to come from nowhere. I hate policy votes but if anyone were deserving of such a vote, it would be Jak. However, of all the current Mafia candidates, Jak also leads the way with scummy behavior. He could very well be Town but between the "new" meta, the N1 killing of Zivel with little basis, his belief that Rodion should be untouchable, etc., etc., etc., the choice is clear. I'm more than happy to discuss other candidates... but for now, I'll Vote Jak to make sure my vote gets recorded before the day ends.
...
@Sausage... I doubt Jak is the Clock. He probably truly is Ang... I just don't get the feeling that Ang is Town-aligned. It definitely could be an associate of his... but I am guessing the Clock is Town-aligned (since he presumably prevented Mafia actions last night) while I'm guessing Jak is not... so, based on that, I'll assume Jak has nothing to do with the Clock.
