Just a reminder for everyone, the deadline is tomorrow 12PM EST.

0 response from Rafay makes me think we may have hit the jackpot early. apart from a half-hearted "you will be sorry you lynched me"  there has been nothing of worth from him. at least some moral outrage at the unfairness of the world-at-large picking on an innocent victim may have been expected from a townie being lynched on day 1. seems like he just gave up..kinda like EM did in the last game. any case, we will know soon enough anyway.

 

 

I see a big difference between EM last game and Rafay now.

 

EM knew the lynch was inevitable.  Rafay could have tried to convince us and might have been successful.

At the worst, you're going to lynch an inactive.

Do you suspect players who voted Rafay?

 

I'm obviously hoping for the Jackpot case that Imran references above. As Kevin points out, Rafay can/could try to convince us otherwise by being more active and posting - giving us a reason to doubt enough to back off on the vote. The way I see it, the silence from Rafay lends itself to a few options:

 

1. Rafay is continuing to lurk, but sees nothing worth saying. Given that Rafay's prior inactivity kept ending *right* when he was called out for lurking or otherwise pushed for an answer, it's hard for me to fully believe Rafay not posting means he is truly inactive. 

 

2. Rafay has given up on the game because he thinks his lynch is a foregone conclusion, and is no longer checking the thread. This is not inherently scum giving up; but as Imran points out, I'd have expected more 'dont lynch me/big mistake!' from a town player - I have a hard time equating that to his "See what happens" post. Doubly so if he had a power role of any sort - unless this is one of those weird games where he has a role that activates on his death or something.

 

3. Rafay is genuinely inactive - in which case this is little better or worse than the 'Lynch the inactives!' push earlier in the day that started on Dman. Plenty of people were pushing for that at the time. 

 

As for those of us currently voting for Rafay:

 

If Rafay turns out to be Scum, then awesome! Look at the order that votes went on; that may be important to note.

 

If Rafay turns out to be town... then we'll have lynched someone who was both inactive/lurking and actively sabotaging himself and town by drawing suspicion. I'd probably pay the most attention to iSocialism and/or EM at that point, as their votes were applied last... but not a strong indication in either direction. And of course, KevinH will get to say "I Told You So."

 

I'm hoping for the 3/11 odds to be in our favor, and actually get the rare Day 1 scum lynch. I'm not going to back out now unless something major changes... so as Rafay put it, let's "see what happens" come deadline. 

 

-Preston

If Rafay turns out to be scum, I will not suspect those voting for him.

 

Otherwise, no-lynch would have been the best course of action and those on the wagon get scummie-points for not choosing the best course of action.

 

In fact ...

 

Vote: No-Lynch

well, I was hoping he'd at least answer me. Guess I'm not good enough for an answer. Thanks Rafay. Makes me feel so important. 

 

That being said, I'll take the risk and hammer him tomorrow. 

 

@EM, its mainly your posts throughout day phases which catches my eye. Not just on day one. 

@Preston, from your posting you must be really rusty, I'm getting the, basic q's to answer from you. So, idk bout you now.

This being my first game in a while, 'Rusty' is certainly a fair term. With that said - my thinking is that stating the questions, which I think is what you meant, is a useful way to get discussion going, especially if someone else disagrees with my analysis and brings counter points instead. In a game where picking apart people's posts is most of the game itself, you need to throw stuff out there for people to respond to. 

 

But yeah... I may have to throttle back a bit if I've been posting a tad bit too often I gather page 11 day 1 isn't exactly normal.

Okay noted. You're not in favor of lynching Rafay who is obviously lurking. I'd like to prevent the same situation from the last game. 

I want to understand your reason for letting him live with his actions right now.

If Rafay is mafia then it's awesome. If he is town then it's still good as we lose one inactive player.

This means if we have a cop, they will not waste it on inactive players.

Also we wouldn't want this attitude especially if it's LYLO. Imagine if he's town and it's between him and scum.

He would just give up and not put up a fight.

Although I respect your honesty, I was hoping you would right now post your suspicions.

People don't suddenly become scummy based on the result of the wagon especially when

almost everyone agreed that Rafay whether his scum or town is being anti-town (but mostly he's scummy)

 

Also no lynching would be useless because I doubt it will win over Rafay.

 

Anyway last question, you don't suspect Rafay or any other player for that matter right now?

kevin seems to be trying to live up to his reputation of always no-lynching on day 1 no matter how illogical it is. tbf, he will probably be accused of being scum if does vote to lynch someone on Day 1

Electric Mango, Town Cop has been night killed.

Imran, Mafia Roleblocker has been night killed.

Well, we lost the doctor and the cop.  Are we screwed now?

Well, we lost the doctor and the cop.  Are we screwed now?

I can't imagine there was more than 3 power roles in town

ok then. Rafay was doctor. He simply gave up. He didn't want to role claim, as he would of just been killed night 1 anyways. Though giving up didn't help us either, a soft claim could of helped us alot here. even if it wasn't obvious. Unfortunately he didn't. course at the same time if he did, very few could of noticed. The one time I was doc, I soft claimed it via Italicing the letters d, o, c, and nobody even noticed. 

 

EM was the Cop, though I wonder why the mafia targeted him? Power roles are dropping. 

 

Imran was mafia. more importantly a RoleBlocker, this could mean there are more power roles. Was anybody blocked? Second, how did he die. Really either an SK killed him, or a vig. Vigs normally don't shoot n1, but they could, so right now, unless somebody claims they killed Imran, I'm leaning toward SK. Secondly, if a vig would of killed him, what gave the vig such confidence to shoot him night 1? If an SK killed him, why choose him? 

 

So 1 scum down, and we know there is at least 2 killing roles out there. 

 

looking at the voting, both EM and Irman was on the lynch wagon. So one scum was on the lynch. We know this to be true now. 

 

We should go over the deceased post from yesterday to see if we can gain any additional insight. Even if it only minor. 

@d3mon, you may wish due to the long night phase to message all players letting them know that day 2 has started.

Hard to write a full post as I'm on an iPad while visiting family.

Brief thoughts:

1. Rafay being town after the way he played - with power role no less! - really hurt. I know I wasn't alone in suspecting him, and can't fault any of what we saw as suspicious... But I'd really hoped we had flushed out a scum on day 1 by catching their contradictions.

2. Two people killed last night means someone other than mafia has/had a killing role. A vigilante is possible, but given the games theme I'd bank on a serial killer.

3. EM being killed is interesting. I would have looked hard at him as one of the last two bandwagon votes; with him proven town I'd look more at isocialism as the remaining one. But that will wait until I have a better device to reread with.

Eh interesting

 

 

I also feel that we're dealing with SK here, first night vig kill is unlikely

 

Not sure about EM but I guess the SK thought that Imran is the cop

 

Too bad about Rafay :|

Yeah, an SK here seems more likely than a n1 vig.

Thats why I said unless somebody claimed it.

Aw shucks.

 

With his hands in his pockets, he kicks a small rock as he turns and walks away.

Okay, lets get this talk going. I know a lot of people think that I'm a probable suspect, which I knew might happen. But I stuck my foot down, because there was just something about Rafay. Maybe it was because it was his first time playing. Anyways

 

out of the 6 on th Rafay's lynch two were killed. EM and Imran. EM was a cop and Im was a scum leaving us with 4 (Kaz, Lyner, iSo, and Preston).

 

I thinking that There is 3 scums as well, and I think one more was on the wagon, while the other one was off the wagon.

Kaz is in the clear, because he demanded input to Imran votings, iSo well... Lyner he;s normally is scum, but every game is different. However,

I'm led back to a person that caught my eye on day 1. Not to mention someone that Imran defended in a few of his post.

 

Vote; Preston

 

I think EM might have the ability to NK and choose Imran as his target, but not exactly sure if there is/isn't a sk.

I told you so.

I told you so.

Got anymore input other than this.

Nobody knows Rafay is town except scum.

Rafay was acting scummy and the way he acted was disappointing.

This is not how you play as town. 

 

Based from the night kill, I'm pretty sure that the one of the killer is an SK.

Who would in the right mind, kill an experienced player as vigilante?

I think it's unlikely that there are redirectors and the like here

as I assume I'm the only mod who uses them in games lol.

 

I need time to reread the posts but on my initial readings, dman/commander shephard is probably town

because of Imran doesn't care that he will lynch him and I think iSocialism is leaning towards town even

though I disagree with him. Even on D1, he was suspecting Preston and suspecting an experienced player

is not something scum would usually do.

 

Also I'll be busy until Sunday because I'll be out of town because of work

although I'll probably have access to internet (I hope) :\

To be fair, I should be added to the lynch wagon. The only reason I was unable to hammer was awkward timing. I don't get no free pass here.
