It's a blanket statement in support of not ruling anything out, including forgetting or losing interest in the game (This was actually more where I was leaning since the behavior didn't seem to fit with any examples I could remember of him being scum). You are making it about one specific thing.DoomYoshi wrote:Just because you said "or if it's an unfortunate coincidence due to other factors". There are no other factors as evidenced by his posting on other parts of the forum (including PMs to me about unrelated topics).strike wolf wrote: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! That was already mentioned today. When he flips scum, you are next.
Read between the lines and it's pretty clear that he didn't believe that you would target "someone that was not [your] biggest scum read." if you were a vig. Thus he was calling you out as scum.jak111 wrote:See I like FOS's like this, I am not sure whether you're cluing in or not.

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.
Again, he's pretty clearly saying between a. mafia would role block you if you were town. b. You have been around to know the flaws in the scenario not to engage in them as town. That he was accusing you of being scum.jak wrote: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.
Sorry I thought the "Even if you arre town" and my statements day 1 were pretty clear that I do not believe you to be town.Jak wrote: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.
Votes 1 and 6 are the ones you have most weight on, vote 7 is iffy. 2 and 3 are ones that were especially clear that they found you scummy. Me. I find you scummy for reasons dating back to day 1 (I just also happen to be tired of your play if you are town) and this post where you clearly seem to be ignoring the scum implications stated by Aage and Rodion only reinforce that. You may be self-convinced of your own superiority but I don't believe you are stupid enough not to be able to read between the lines on them implying that you were scum. Best case scenario, you are scum and we lynch scum. Worst case scenario, you are a distraction from real cases. I see little downside.Jak wrote:(Vote 5 was Doom, he removed it after realising it was stupid to lynch a guy he believed town, although he admitted that he believed me town)
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.
So 8 votes total today, 2 pulled off, only 1 person actually said it's because I was scummy, the rest started chipping in and saying so after 2 people defended me by pointing it out. I went back and quoted each vote (besides Doom's but he knows what I say to be true).
So major FOS on everyone who were FOS'ing HotShot and kgb I believe the two were after they started pointing out what was wrong with the entire wagon.
I don't even think that FOS needs an explanation, I'm voting one of them.
Another quick count, how many are voting me because they want an easy lynch and how many are voting me for a bogus reason (besides MP who actually states that he finds me scummy before being pointed out on the poor wagon reasons).
Finally, no one even lifts a word whether they think my case on Nebuch is good enough for some pressure or not. They say they want another case and a claim, I point out someone's poor reasoning for FOS'ing people, no one says a word about the case.
FP'd by a few.

The distraction is people going on and on about me but not attempting to do anything else. I'm the distraction right.If so it's only because people are making it that way and refuse to try to do anything else at all.

1) No doubt. In my experience there is no such thing as an all town bandwagon.jak111 wrote:
- There are people on my wagon on it only because I'm an easy lynch. (3rd party/mafia).
- Half the wagon is not because they think I'm scum. (Whether they're trying to cover that tad bit up now or later).

After reading that thread (was a pretty interesting discussion, especially after the claim and counterclaim where everyone knew one was lying...), I thought of something. If Jak was a scum JOAT using his kill for scum purposes (as was the case in that game)... wouldn't he have discussed the kill with scum buddies, and been caught without submitting an action when the night ended early, as everyone says happened with the main scum kill? In my mind, that is another reason to think he just acted independently (and stupidly).Rodion wrote:https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3654883#p3654883 - D2 is an interesting read

Assuming that the clock role isn't mafia, I would grant that but I am not convinced of anything yet. Jak claiming to have used a vig kill when he was actually the mafia kill could make sense in this scenario. The clock provides a decent alibi for why mafia wouldn't have a kill and provides Jak with a provable action to fall on. If mafia knew about a quick deadline than they would be more likely to act quickly on a kill. My leading theory is that the clock acted in self-preservation to make sure he wasn't the horse but it could also have been an act to protect Jak (and in fact the two aren't mutually exclusive though I would say it's unlikely to be both). If this is the case, it actually works as Jak would have no need to explain why there wasn't an extra kill in future nights as it was a one shot action.HotShot53 wrote:After reading that thread (was a pretty interesting discussion, especially after the claim and counterclaim where everyone knew one was lying...), I thought of something.

Roles were supposedly assigned separate from alignment. Otherwise, your case would be that every inanimate object in the game is 3rd party. In my last CYOC, I was Silent Bob...would you say he was evil or good? In that game I was mafia. I don't picture Silent Bob as evil.

(Really, when is a clock either good/evil, it's a clock).
At the moment, I see one extra betico vote since the last vote count, which would make it 5 votes for jak and 4 for betico... so if the day ended early (now), jak would be lynched. I believe the runoff only happens if there is an exact tie for the lead... mod please correct me if I'm wrongNebuchadnezer wrote:Well, it looks like we're heading toward a no lynch again? Or at least a run-off.
Jak continues to exhibit scum traits in his posts. Specifically, he seems desperate and over the top with his defense and counter logic.

With all that said, I do think Jak is town...which is why I can't vote for him. I am choosing to NOT make this a learning moment for him and making a policy lynch. I think he gets that he screwed up and will learn to not wander about shooting people N1.
I guess I could hop on Betiko's train, but I'm sure there are more inactives than just him. I don't think everyone has checked in yet. Hopefully, he puts together something good when he finally catches up. He apparently doesn't seem concerned that the day will end early...

Surely you can committ to more than 2-3 sentences from the volumes of posts that buried you previously. You didn't have much to say D1 afterall. The issue lies in getting 9 votes to really pressure betiko into claim territory. Jak was kind enough to claim with only 5 votes yesterday, I'm not sure we can expect that going forward. I suspect that if betiko does claim, most people will unvote immediately anyway....betiko wrote:Read all the way till page 24 so. Still 6 pages gap...
Wtf move by jak. His meta is consistent to what i remember from him in the matrix game where he was neo and it gave him this fuzzy feeling of power and domination. 4 actions and you use the kill on night 1 for no reason seriously... Brilliant!
Fp
Tldr for tonight jak

Jak, I might not have explicitly said in my vote you're scummy, but you are. Your N1 actions was poor and your D2 play is at best a distraction to town.
