[The Weird One]

I was reserving my vote until we heard more from Fir but it's becoming more and more difficult with each of your posts James...

i didn't vote against you because i still think Fir shoulda been claiming at L2, i agree with IB that we should definitely get a claim since it's such a small game and Fir arguing against himself claiming smells to high heaven to me..

vote fircoal for not claiming at L2, i think i'm the only vote against him now

I could just be being silly, here, but wouldn't you not want to claim until L-1 in such a small game? My memory could just be wrong...very wrong. It's happened before, but trying to push for a claim when at L-2 just seems off to me.

I understand your point of view.

If we mislynch today would you say the same for tomorrow? For as long as I can remember we have always claimed at L2. It is a habit created created for certain circumstance but which we follow anyways. It is highly doubtful there is a double voter but like I said its better to satay in the habit.

claim time kgb

[kgb007]

I am Vanilla Townie feel free to test my claim since I don't have any special abilities but you're putting us at a disadvantage

i gotta side with IB here, i've always played L2 as claim time, which brings me back to the previous point i
was trying to make

Averting the pressure on someone else that's possibly scummy?

Vote KGB. Third vote, maybe a claim now if you agree with IB?

actually James, I could have just as easily voted you and forced you into claim territory, since I cast my vote before your's but i didn't bc i find it odd Fir posted his explanation for being away but didn't claim and has since disappeared again

[Anarkistsdream]

He hasn't been around. Life got him.

[JamesKer1]

Townie would be what I would claim as a mafia member, can't really contradict it easily... Not sure about taking my vote off yet.

[The Weird One]

was trying to make

As said in the post where I brought the point up: it very well could just be my memory. As for the claim, there's not really anything one way or another on it. It is the easiest claim for scum to make...

[Anarkistsdream]

Unvote


I believe it.

[Iron Butterfly]

If he is telling the truth mafia will know it and work around him thus giving them better odds of hitting a pr.

[Anarkistsdream]

If he is telling the truth mafia will know it and work around him thus giving them better odds of hitting a pr.

If that is the case, they can work around me, too... But that means it is someone else's job to be a scumbag, and, IB, you are way too helpful in this game... Sure you aren't overplaying your townieness?

[Iron Butterfly]

I totally agree with IB, here, and think that since it is suposedly "newbie friendly" there won't be any crazy roles. We can only HOPE we have a cop AND a doc, and not just one or the other. This means that the two scum are way ahead of us.

I am leaning toward a kgb or Jamesker vote, based on their posts, but I haven't seen anything to warrant an actual vote, yet... C'mon someone, do something scummy.

Oh right you are Town. Of course they would work around you as you could not possibly be mafia.

You have also been in agreement with me the whole game yet at the same time not really saying anything with substance. You stated you were leaning towards james or KGB yet did not answer my question as to what exactly would warrant a vote for being scummy.

Speaking of acting Town how about this?

We can only HOPE we have a cop AND a doc, and not just one or the other. This means that the two scum are way ahead of us.

you say you are Town like it means somthing and is true.

[Iron Butterfly]

OK, so let's break this down...

2 Prisoners
6 Townies (unless there is a third party, which I don't see Spiesr putting one in such a small game)

Out of those townies, what do you guys think? One cop, one doc? Maybe a JOAT, instead of two separate roles?

[color=#FF0000He said it was a basic game, so I wouldn't think the scum have any roles at all. ][/color]

This first day lynch is going to be critical, more so than most games because of the small number of players and the fact that there are only two enemies.

I also found this post interesting in that you really try to minimize the roles this game may have especially mafia.
As I stated earlier Spiesr said this is a newb friendly game not a basic game. That does not mean mafia can not have roles.

Unlike you I don't sit on the fence

vote Anarkistsdream

[JamesKer1]

Wait, what?

How is Nark scummy for assessing the game?

I was going to address this in one of my earlier posts, but I didn't want to fight on too many fields, per say, and it seems now is the perfect chance to discuss it.

You seem to be pushing for a lot of claims- Fircoal, KGB, and just about anyone really. I know, I pushed for KGB's claim as well, but I would have been able to work with more in my head if he was a/the doc or cop. Just my townie thought process towards winning the game. Him being VT really doesn't change anything. But trying to make multiple people claim like that..

is Bologna

I also don't like how you were buddying up to me during my "vote bouncing". Everytime I voted, a vote from you would follow. Yeah, I appreciated you in assisting in pressuring people at the time, but now it just looks plain scummy. You stopped at Greg, making things even more suspicious. Maybe because you thought I was stupid, maybe other reasons. Who knows. It just doesn't add up in my head.

What would you need to warrant a vote? If you are leaning towards them you are doing so for a reason. What would you need to see?

Pushing for a vote of some sort, but it doesn't really matter who? That's what I'm getting from this.

Finally, your two posts above this one seem to be arguments based on nothing at all. Do you really think we need to elaborate on the mafia, since we will pretty much find out tonight what happens?

Unlike you I don't sit on the fence

I think you've made more or the same number of real votes, not joke votes (my "activity votes" are not joke votes), as me, and I had all those crazy votes... What's this about not sitting on a fence?

Vote IB

Also, this vote will put me as the person to be lynched on the 22nd. I'm doing this in faith that some will be taken off. If I am still the leading voted person on the 20th, I will be unhappy to but will provide a claim I guess, to give everyone adequate time to take their votes off me.

[The Weird One]

While I have completely different reasons from IB -quite honestly, I don't really see much behind his reasons. I feel like nark is being a bit scummy, here. I'm getting this feeling from two posts:

vote: kgb

Someone has to go for us to start making progress.

and, when kgb claimed:

Unvote


I believe it.

The first, alone, isn't too bad. I can understand the sentiment of wanting to get the ball rolling, but it's the phrasing that stands out to me. Once you add in the second one, it just sounds like nark is fishing for power rolls. He drops off of the case far too quickly. I'll admit, I have been slow to cast my vote, in this game, but that's because it's so small and takes so few votes to lynch, I feel that I should be cautious with it, accordingly.

Now, on to the bit of back and forth betwixt IB and nark: [they're both on this page, or this shall be the first post of the next page, so I'm not going to bother quoting.] To me, this just sounds like scum trying to distance themselves from each other, on day one. I could be wrong with that, but, either way, my first point stands.

Unvote vote Nark

[JamesKer1]

To me, this just sounds like scum trying to distance themselves from each other, on day one. I could be wrong with that, but, either way, my first point stands.

Wow. That might just make perfect sense...

FOS Nark. I'll switch my vote over only if needed for a lynch or claim (if we want either one of them), but for now I'm staying on IB.

[Anarkistsdream]

Anybody who is town should understand why I unvoted kgb... that is the exact makeup of the role from spiesr... Blue, bold, and Vanilla Townie...

The fact that nobody else seemed to think that so surely is sad to me, because there are only two scum... Makes me think that TWO is one of them...

I would like to take this opportunity to remind players to keep the rules in mind and use their best judgement going forward.

Spoiler

Do not quote any PMs you receive from the Mod. The only things you may post (loosely paraphrasing) are your roles (and anything associated with them), and alignment. You may not post or ask for the exact wording your win condition, how many words are in your role PM, or any other kind of way to get around not quoting PMs.

Fircoal has been prodded.

[Fircoal]

I think you clearly skimmed.

unvote for the reasons given previously

the joke vote ended relatively quickly and we've already pushed him to claim territory

Why would you not want a claim??

Granted Firecoal has answered and offered his excuse but you posted this before the fact.

Vote KGB

Why WOULD you want a claim?

Claims are good when we are about to lynch someone to test to see if their role matches up or is important. Someone who has been started early in Day 1 and doesn't have that much against them is not usually someone you want to claim. In fact at that point it is better for the mafia to get a claim than the town.

Here I state clearly that I don't think it's very smart for a town member to claim in that type of situation. So why would I claim if I was personally against it? Does that make any sense really?

Personally I'm getting much more suspicious of those who are promoting claims and all that stuff. Espeically when we have things like this:

If he is telling the truth mafia will know it and work around him thus giving them better odds of hitting a pr.

What IB states here is correct. If someone claims a powerrole then everyone knows the powerrole and then the mafia know more things that they didn't need to know. ESpeically if it's the doctor. Then they can just kill the doctor and suddenly the town is in trouble. However if someone claims a townie then the mafia know to not kill that person. Really with this little information it does us little good to be claiming like candy.

[Iron Butterfly]

Let me clear something up in regards to claims. I have not been advocating for multiple claims as some may imply. While claiming can be helpful it is also a double edged sword, which I made clear earlier.

Second, what if scenarios and wine in front of me arguments are meaningless.

[JamesKer1]

Before I forget, Greg, what's your opinion? Can he be prodded as well as new guy?

Anybody who is town should understand why I unvoted kgb... that is the exact makeup of the role from spiesr... Blue, bold, and Vanilla Townie...

Nark, that has nothing to do with it. I could claim Mafia Goon and it would look realistic. I'm sure that in the Mafia's PM the town coloring is used somewhere. Easy enough to quote, get the color code, and match it up. I've also never seen a role not in bold, so what's your point here? Very easy to replicate as a mafia member.

The fact that nobody else seemed to think that so surely is sad to me, because there are only two scum... Makes me think that TWO is one of them...

Are you going after TWO because he hit you dead on or some other reasoning?

I'm really leaning towards a vote on you. Yeah, that pushes you into claim territory, but you have already claimed haven't you?

that is the exact makeup of the role from spiesr... Blue, bold, and Vanilla Townie

If he is telling the truth mafia will know it and work around him thus giving them better odds of hitting a pr.

If that is the case, they can work around me, too

A v townie would be a loss, but we can't turn our heads away just because someone says they are v townie. We will have six or seven people (hopefully six for two town power roles) do that in this game and try to get away with it.

[new guy1]

Im still here, but I just caught up earlier today. I dont have much to add, otherwise I would.

[gregwolf121]

well unvote after rereading, im still not convinced that james isn't scum but his play style seems consistent so i partially wiling to believe that hes just making decisions to quickly, so i'll but him on the back burner for later review, i havent' gotten many scum vibes from kgb so i believe that he is town, right now IB and anark are the two that are sticking out to me, i'm willing to bet that at least one of these two is mafia
but no case is complete without showing some evidence right so here are the posts that i'm questioning
lets start with anark

Actually, I'm gong to VOte:Fircoal as well seeing as how he has disappeared.... What's your excuse, chu..? COLLEGE? Bah!

first he joins james on the fircoal wagon, though this one is understandable if taken by itself
his next post is one agreeing with IB that more info is needed

vote: kgb

Someone has to go for us to start making progress.

after IB tells him to make up his mind he joins the vote on kgb, reason being that someone has to go
after the claim anark unvotes kgb

If he is telling the truth mafia will know it and work around him thus giving them better odds of hitting a pr.

If that is the case, they can work around me, too... But that means it is someone else's job to be a scumbag, and, IB, you are way too helpful in this game... Sure you aren't overplaying your townieness?

anark then questions IB, but doesn't vote him

Anybody who is town should understand why I unvoted kgb... that is the exact makeup of the role from spiesr... Blue, bold, and Vanilla Townie...

The fact that nobody else seemed to think that so surely is sad to me, because there are only two scum... Makes me think that TWO is one of them...

VOTE: TWO

this is anarks defense after IB and TWO vote for him

then IB

Small games like this are hard for Town. Mafia can sit back with a wait and see attitude.

As of present there are several of us who are posting while others are minimal to nonexistent. We have a week, which sounds like a lot but can fly by real quick.

We need a claim. Unvote VOTE Firecoal

College or not it doesn't take but 5 min to log on and see whats up in a small game like this.

IB also joins the fircoal wagon, his is a bit more suspicious as his reasoning is that we need a claim, it implies that a claim from anyone will do,

unvote for the reasons given previously

the joke vote ended relatively quickly and we've already pushed him to claim territory

Why would you not want a claim??

Granted Firecoal has answered and offered his excuse but you posted this before the fact.

Vote KGB

IB then joins the kgb wagon, IB seems to do so because kgb unvoted, im assuming based on what IB said that he was under the impression that kgb's vote was on fircoal too, it wasn't it was on newguy
IB then has a post arguing that we need all the info that we can get
His next post is basically asking why anark hasn't voted someone yet, anark had said he was undecided
next post is explaining that claiming at L2 is traditional

If he is telling the truth mafia will know it and work around him thus giving them better odds of hitting a pr.

IB's next post leaves me a bit confused it seems he's saying that kgb's claim will only help the mafia

OK, so let's break this down...

2 Prisoners
6 Townies (unless there is a third party, which I don't see Spiesr putting one in such a small game)

Out of those townies, what do you guys think? One cop, one doc? Maybe a JOAT, instead of two separate roles?

[color=#FF0000He said it was a basic game, so I wouldn't think the scum have any roles at all. ][/color]

I also found this post interesting in that you really try to minimize the roles this game may have especially mafia.
As I stated earlier Spiesr said this is a newb friendly game not a basic game. That does not mean mafia can not have roles.

Unlike you I don't sit on the fence

vote Anarkistsdream

IB questions an old post of anark's and then votes him

Let me clear something up in regards to claims. I have not been advocating for multiple claims as some may imply. While claiming can be helpful it is also a double edged sword, which I made clear earlier.

Second, what if scenarios and wine in front of me arguments are meaningless.

IB posts this to clear up what he meant by claiming

based off what i found i think IB a bit scummy so FOS IB but i found anark to be much scummier so vote anark

[Anarkistsdream]

Wow, everyone is voting me... I am surprised...
