The narsis thing being town could make sense, but it could be Kevin protecting a scum buddy. However, the first seems more likely.

 

As for the voting pattern, I don't see too much in it yet. I think they're just being thrown around to get people active.

Unvote.

 

Narsis must have gotten a pro-town role.

 

Vote: CanucksDynasty

 

He voted for me and I ain't got nothin' else.

 

 

An OMGUS vote...you must be scum.

Unvote.

 

Vote: KevinH

 

because he's using an illogical reason for switching, and just to push votes to a lynch.

Things are looking bad for Kevin, I agree. However, it's hard to determine at this point if it's joking (a few of his posts certainly seem they could be in that way), or what. Of course, with the next vote on Kevin being the lynch vote, I say we try and give him a chance to defend himself at least.

i'm comfortable keeping my vote on Kevin for now. twice he has used improper logic(and yes one was the logic used to "prove" i was townie). although not a scum tell in and of itself, it does mean he's not paying perfect attention to the game.

 

@ Oranges: i'd still point this to being the RVS. we vote randomly in the RVS. you should know that. get used to it.

never was a big fan of the random voting to be honest. I place a lot of emphasis on voting patterns in the later rounds and when you look back this random stage just gets in the way and causes problems as you try and figure out what is really random and what is a distancing vote. doesn't think it helps disussion much either. and later on when you call someone on a vote they made they can just say its random and not give a decent explanation and there's nothing one can do. it just causes more trouble, plus if i hear the term "you must be scum" one more time... it does absolutely nothing and helps no way (IMO)

 

until i get more of a feel for this game i'm gonna keep my voting card firmly in my pocket.

 

(btw i don't know what my activity will be like over the weekend, just warning ye now)

Lynching a townie is pro-scum.

 

CanucksDynasty wants top lynch me.

 

I am a townie.

 

Therefore CanucksDynasty is pro-scum.

 

 

Q.E.D.

 

 

It makes logical sense to me.

EBWOP:

 

Maybe he wants to top lynch me too, but I meant to say "to lynch" not "top lynch".

and yet you fail to realize that the town doesnt know who is and who isn't scum. thus a townie may want to lynch a person they view as scummy but later find them out to be town. a simple mistake.

the town doesnt know who is and who isn't scum.

 

You don't know me very well.

 

Typically, I argue against lynching on the first day because we don't know who is and who isn't scum; I want to wait until the 2nd day and then try to guess whom the cop is. In this game, I know there is a 2/3 chance that the setup doesn't include a cop so it is in the town's best interest to lynch on day one.

 

I know CanucksDynasty is just as likely to be townie as scum. And he knows the same about me. I maintain a day one vote is random despite all the analysis everyone claims.

 

I'm one vote away from being lynched. That puts suspicion on those who are doing the voting. Do you really want the day to end early with less discussion?

 

A second vote vote puts a little pressure on somebody. A third vote is an invitation to the scum to seal the lynch with one more vote.

 

But from the grave, I can still say like I always do: "I told you so!"

 

Unvote.

Nerau has been prodded.

very interesting developments, but i still will keep my vote where it stands

hmm...i expected more posts considering I've been gone all day. Not much of a speed game. But it is the weekend.

 

Hmm...I wonder...

Weekends are slow.

 

It's worse when I'm about to be lynched with one more vote ...

yes weekends are slow.

 

hmm...sometimes i wish i could privately talk with other people about the game...

Why would you want that? Sorry dunno what strategy you can gleam from talking in back channels... unless you're scum.

Masons can talk outside the game and I think there is benefit in that.

 

But not in this game. There might be a cop or a doc, but that's it.

 

I'm going to enjoy reading about all the scum-tells that can be gleaned from this day 1. Nobody knows anything and we need to get some basis for future days.

Deadline extended to the 3rd April, to account for the weekend lull in activity.

After today I will return to checking activity.

 

The "Oh, it's Monday again" Vote Count:

KevinH - 3 (CanucksDynasty, Narsis, Falzis) (L-1)

CanucksDynasty - 1 (vgmmaster)

Falzis - 1 (Nerau)

 

Not Voting - 2 (Oranges, KevinH)

Why the unvote?

 

In the previous posts you were quick to label me as scum. If you were strong in your suspicions you would have kept your vote on me. As for my vote on you...it was a RVS to begin with. However, your recent actions have not convinced me to take my vote off of you yet.

 

Since deadline has been extended...let's use the time for more discussion.

what's RVS?

 

Random voting stage.

there is much that one can benefit from being able to talk in back channels. various strategies and gambits being foremost.

ouch they do

I don't know why, but...

 

unvote

 

Anybody could put the final vote on Kevin, but it not happening means two things. A) Kevin is scum and his buddy doesn't want him to die so early in the game, anybody that places the vote is thinking they'll automatically look scummy on day 2.

 

I will do this though.

 

vote: Narsis

 

Now, Kevin claims that Narsis is most likely town because of the whole role pm thing where there was a mistake. I could see that, but by that same logic, there's just as easily a chance that makes Narsis is scum. Let's say for example that I was scum and I noticed the typo. I would go to Mole, say, my win condition is a bit wrong, isn't it? And then he fixes it. And I don't know why, but that actually seems more likely. That, combined with a recent post of him wishing he could talk with people just doesn't sit right with me. Might mean nothing, but at this point, it's more then anything we have that's not related to Kevin.

 

Also, another thing I have my eye on is Nerau. He has 3 votes. One, a random vote. Two, him saying he's keeping his vote plus "interesting developments". Three, his seemingly pointless post right before mine. Only thing that's not making me think he's scum (he could be lying low to not look suspicious), is the fact he was prodded. With him being inactive, one could think he has a plain townie role and may not be as interested in posting. However, if mafia, he might not want to post, but because of the setup, this is his way to stay active and lurk at the same time.

EBWOP:

 

Nerau has 3 posts. Not 3 votes.

Why the unvote?

I'm not strong in my suspicions. It's Day 1.

 

My unvote was to provide incentive to somebody to unvote me. It didn't appear to work.

 

Vote: Falzis

 

because he's using an illogical reason for switching, and just to push votes to a lynch.

and then he made the L-1 vote. Seems suspicious to me.
