GM Drac did (see: "the role is not really his"). Each of us still asserted that we think Lele should definitely be lynched today. So why is Cel and I an apparent scumbuddy, and not the rest of them?
I'm going to even the votes, as it feels wrong to me that bbninjas is the lead lynch for today.
##VOTE: PMJ
PMJ and bb stop talking to each other- everyone has enough posts from you to decide who they think is right. If not, they will ask or vote. Until that happens, you got no reason to keep discussing unless you are scum.
This is actually makes a lot a sense! I didn't see that direct reference to "not being able to find" Caeser and Crassus, who were two of the main three who formed the Triumvirate, is rather indicative. If the next scum to flip has a scumchat-ability, then this theory would be pretty much confirmed - as Lele's flip does not feature such an Ability.Which is, I think, in reference to other mafian rolenames. If not, the whole "trapped in the basement" is flavour enough to support this theory.
Emphasis mine, not really. I wasn't been around for earlier Day 3, and I'm still trying to navigate through my general uncertainty on most people (that's why I did a full reads list - writing out my thoughts helps organise them). I'm also not going to push a case out of thin air, so that's why I haven't given an alternative yet - I'm still in the read-gathering phase.I assume you don't want to get lynched, so give us an alternative. It's actually very telling that you haven't managed to do this yet.
And another thing about the reads list –– three of the players you listed not under vague/wishy-washy reads, you've read as neutral. Which is completely ridiculous. Neutral is the very vaguest and very wishy-washiest of reads.
FoS Jabber for this grammatical nitpickery since it's pretty unhelpful/misleading, trying to indicate someone is scummy due to how they use they word "town" in relation to themself is bit ridiculous - especially for Jabber.Refers to the town as a separate entity; i.e., one he isn't a part of.
How this indicative? I had forgotten that I hadn't put my vote back on.but bb actually did not have his vote down at the end of the Day.
No one has and no one still is suggesting that Lele shouldn't have been lynched. That needs to be distinguished from people not being confident on the flip.I'm still baffled to see how people still think that we could do anything else but lynch a mod-confirmed scum. The only other reason is that we (somehow) found out about dos' role in the same time and the debate would be who is a bigger threat.
FoS on this FoS. That's not what scattered was saying at all - he was saying that back-and-forth, stagnant discussion between you and me is unproductive, distracting, deterring [players from posting - hence so many players saying they are having difficulty following/catching-up]. It's anti-town. scattered uses an argument that is not uncommon, so I think you're dumbtelling a bit. Plus, it's been said in a few different ways this day phase already. What IS common is to turn the tables on whoever might use this argument, and say that they are trying to kill discussion, and that's nothing more than avoiding the point.FoS for this, I don't like the idea of anyone telling people to not post.

So the mafia are the Triumvirate, I think it's safe to assume this means there are three of them. Town are Loyalists. There was also Double-o-Squirtle, aligned with himself. I think with the numbers we have (20 at game-start), 3+1+16 is very unbalanced in town's favour. I expect there are additional independent factions to be on the alert for.
And then apart from Triumvirate & Loyalists, players are also divided into Populares & Optimates. e.g. Squirtles goal as an Optimate was to eliminate all the Populares. There are eight of these as stated by his role. So I assume 8 and 12 unless there's a third part to this too. I don't know if that's worth chasing up. It would be important if you had a role like Squirtle's, but it seems inconsequential to me so far.
Lastly, I would like to clear up this Basement thing since it's been mentioned that there is a possibility that the rest of the Triumvirate did not actually know Lele was one of theirs. And that becomes quite an important detail if the lynch of BB is based on his defense / avoidance of Lele. Sounds to me like the basement included three players total. And the two that are not Lele are confirmed as town to each other now. This is something that *could* be worth bringing to light *maybe*. We could have a pair of confirmed town, and we could get the rules of the Basement. And no-one can fake claim here so long as both live, as if one comes forward they can quickly be caught out. Maybe this explains the buddy-buddy nature of BB & Celever?
Obviously there are also risks involved as like Luxinity, they will quickly become targets by night for one. But we will have night targets regardless. At least if one of these came forward (not both), we can play find the lady with the Mafia wanting to target them, and any Doctor among us being able to bluff some protection this night or the next. We could also follow their lead if they are obstinently against one of our current options. Since they are town for sure, they should act with virtue, and virtue is truly the only good (to borrow a Roman-themed stoic paradox). This is an advantage we can leverage in interests of the town. I think one (not both), should come forward and let us know they were part of this basement without fully claiming the rest of their role. Let us know how the basement worked exactly, and get us a bit closer to a true understanding of what goes on at night.
No one has and no one still is suggesting that Lele shouldn't have been lynched. That needs to be distinguished from people not being confident on the flip.
I never said there was. I said there were better options: not that he's a bad one.
the town has been eager about my lynch, but apathetic towards suspecting PMJ. I explain in my paragraph why I think this indicates a scum-town interaction, as oppose to a town-town.
We gotta look into this guy eventually. >.>Nah. It's not helping at all. But i do it anyway. Because why not.
Also counting =/= reading everything.
Nah. I didn't and don't have time to read into things. The only thing i kinda catched is that it moved over to a case on you and Celever?
Maybe? Who knows.
Most of the stuff I was gonna say to this is irrelevant now you've placed a vote. What's left is that we're always in "the read-gathering phase", and I would say that by Day 3, even if you've been relatively out of it, you should be able to place a vote.Emphasis mine, not really. I wasn't been around for earlier Day 3, and I'm still trying to navigate through my general uncertainty on most people (that's why I did a full reads list - writing out my thoughts helps organise them). I'm also not going to push a case out of thin air, so that's why I haven't given an alternative yet - I'm still in the read-gathering phase.
I think I just misread how you were formatting your reads list; Cel commented on that earlier. My issue was that you had divided it up into what I thought were "vague reads" and "not vague reads", and then put a bunch of neutral reads under "not vague".Neutral, by the way, simply means that there is not enough indicative evidence for me to make a particularly informed read on them. Do you have neutral reads on any of the more vocal players? I'm pretty sure you agreed earlier that there was plenty of WIFOM about, yet if you have no neutral reads, then you would have to be comfortable and somewhat confident on your lean reads?
Nah, that's a well-known scumslip, and slips are part of the game. Using "the town" instead of "we" shows you're subconsciously putting yourself outside of it. It's definitely not enough to convict him on its own, but worth noting.FoS Jabber for this grammatical nitpickery since it's pretty unhelpful/misleading, trying to indicate someone is scummy due to how they use they word "town" in relation to themself is bit ridiculous - especially for Jabber.
Why was your vote taken off Lele in the first place?How this indicative? I had forgotten that I hadn't put my vote back on.
Jup. Not beeing able to read into stuff is very scummy. You are correct. You cracked the code.We gotta look into this guy eventually. >.>
Lol.@mirdo - He isn't paying attention to the game. He didn't know that dos killed Luxinity, or that dos was saved night 1. He's gone for days at a time and continues posting activity charts despite having it explained why they aren't helpful. He also doesn't care to contribute outside of this as evidenced by his last post. He'd make a good policy lynch.
If we not regard you beeing in a tie with BB. Would you suggest Cel beeing a better lynch than bb?
Why is your read so different from PMJ’smorda - I've been reading morda as quite town since he's been inquisitive and thoughtful, and as a byproduct of that, he seems to be thinking things through and have a clear thought process. Specifically the latter point, I tend to consider a more innocent indicator (since scum thought processes normally aren't that "complete" or "full"), so he's really my only town read. (inno-lean)
1) Please dont call me mordacai :/.Mordacai's contributions on day one are not really inspiring.
Now we can see his vote came at the right time for scum to flip target.
^^This. Either PMJ or BBninjas has to be lynched today,But I don't think it's productive to pursue either of them right now. A part of me wants to lynch PMJ so that the thread becomes less centralised, because he keeps pushing attention onto bb which is really unproductive and sets the town back massively, even if the guy is mafia.
Same as BB, why is your reas so different from bb?@mordacazir - quaking made no useful posts. Since subbing in, his posts haven't been super helpful. He started the end-of-day wagon on T_E, employed the same "before anyone questions this scummy behavior, here's my excuse" tactic that bb did (which is notable because he later said in this post that only scum should worry about fitting in), doubted Tapu Lele's flip until the very end and still tried making the argument that it could have been faked due to the nature of the game despite the flip coming from the hosts. scummy
I haven't really looked at Celever's posts, but it's good to hear that he apparently set this in motion. Doesn't mean much because they're both definitely scum.
Remember, PMJ first posted at the end of Day 2 and in that time hasn't "really looked" at my posts, which is worrying as I'm one of the primary contributors to this thread; I'm sure no one would object to top 5. And, when people look through games, they tend to look at the most notable players first, and then get more obscure from there. So if PMJ hasn't "really looked" at the posts of one of the top 5 contributors to the thread, that means he's looked at less than 5 of them total. Which, finally, means this case has been made because PMJ wants bb to be lynched, and not because PMJ thinks bb is mafia: it would be a massive flaw in rationalism to tunnel bb as massively as he is right now without having read the posts of (m)any other people.
@PMJ please post a full reads list of all players in the thread, with reasons given for your stance on each one. This is to ensure that you've actually read this game thread and, on balance, think bb is the best option, as opposed to the only one you've looked at so far.
Lot of assumptions you're making there. bb's extensive post on Lele's flip possibly being fake is what got me looking at him harder. Enough of his posts were questionable to make me believe he was scum. Thus, I pushed his lynch.
Everyone take note of how Celever and bb keep saying the opposite, despite my clarifying it several times already.
FoS. I answered this already. This is now the second time that I've seen you making uninformed posts.
Tunneling is not misleading because it, by definition, cannot be. Tunneling happens when one person's lynch is pushed despite their being better cases. Well, there are no other cases, so I guess I'm not tunneling by definition, but I use the term because I will still push this lynch until one of us is dead. It's why I haven't bothered building a case on Celever yet.
@Celever - WIFOM vote for T_E, tried starting an obviously bogus case on Samwise to try and save bbninjas, defended Tapu Lele, consistently ignores my arguments for why bb is scum and omgus votes me along with bb once Samwise threw his vote on me as a last ditch effort to get me lynched. scum of the earth

Interesting you say that.@mordacazir - quaking made no useful posts. Since subbing in, his posts haven't been super helpful.

Townreading scattered, Cel, Yog to an extent. Leaning town on you just because I'm leaning scum on bb and I don't see this being orchestrated.@Jabberwock - Fairly active participant. Doubted Lele's flip which is really the only thing I can find inherently anti-town about the posts he's made so far. Would like to see a list of his reads because for all his posting, I think the only person he said he had a town read on was scattered mind. neutral leaning town
What up, my dude? Do you have anything good? My ability is pretty trash. (this is quaking's)
Yeah I’m town. And I think you’re town too. Do you have any interesting observations this day (That you’re willing to share)?
Hi. I have strong evedince that BB is scum (because of the no kill), but I’m afraid to claim it and still thinking if I trust you enough.
(at this point I told him "Even if I'm scum there's nothing I can do to you if you tell me what you've got.")Nvm if dos claim is true than its not bb
(several IRL days pass)Well if dos his claim is true my thing is completely useless. We were just lucky.
We should use this chat more. What do you think off Samwise and PMJ?
