It is certainly possible that a double voter can be not town. It also probably isn't fair to assume I am town just because I defended sempai (because how is a townie gonna know another player is a townie day 1?) but it is fair to lean towards me being town, because I didn't jump on a not good bandwagon.degaston wrote:I'm assuming that he's town, but just for clarification, is it not possible for a double voter to be scum?Endgame422 wrote:UNVOTE

If sempai is town, then I assume Tonka is town also, because of his defense of sempai.

If you're talking about my calling out inactive players, I'm not necessarily assuming that they're scum, but I think it's important to get them to participate throughout the entire game.jbfloyd wrote:Looking at an inactive seems like crossing your fingers and hoping to strike oil. ...

I guess I get the whole double vote thing for this character. Though certainly not the best action, then again he had only bit parts in the movie and worked fairly undercover in the books so I guess it fits.got tonkaed wrote:Ugh. Why wouldn't an Auror have a night action!

In regards to the whole misunderstanding my post, I do not see much of a case there. Just someone who was a bit too anxious to jump on what they thought could be considered a slip. It could happen to new mafia or new town. Probably a bit more likely to happen to new town.degaston wrote:Doh! I read it, but it didn't seem to provide any useful information, so I quickly forgot it. Then after strike wolf's comment I was too lazy to re-read the thread, so I did a topic search for "Death Eater", but without the 's' on the end, his was the only post that showed up.Streaker wrote:Vote Pixar for not knowing the flavour, and writing the name wrong.*Pixar* wrote:I'd like to say I have read or watched any of the Hairy Pitters but I havent whoopsI HATE DAY 1

To be fair, I was and still am assuming the death eaters as likely mafia. Whether they also have cult like powers...it's a bit early to say. I again don't really have a problem with this post. I'll explain...my first vote was a joke vote. I never meant anything by it.degaston wrote:I assumed that calling me a death eater was his justification for voting for me, and that therefore, death eater = mafia. But since I'm still a noob at this, I wasn't expecting different terms to be used. Was that unreasonable?HotShot53 wrote:That was a pretty quick jump on him... and what strike said could very well have been a joke too, strike never said "death eater = mafia" he just said the person he was voting must be a death eater as a joke.degaston wrote:Unvote

Because there was never any mention in this thread that the mafia are called Death Eaters here, so only a Death Eater would know that.
In any case, thanks for the love.(throws stink pellets in your general direction)
A bit of role fishing.degaston wrote:It appears that you're claiming Filch. Has anyone else made a claim, fake or otherwise?StorrZerg wrote:"fake claims"
I don't really care for this defense. Sarcasm I can ignore. I can be very sarcastic and it doesn't naturally lead to friends but it is not a scum tell in general. I am just not sure I like the topic search answer...why did you use topic search specifically? I don't know. Just kind of bugs me. May be nothing. The latter statement seems to become a trend.degaston wrote:Skimming/forgetting what was in the opening post is a crime here?

Dakky might also be connected and mtam also sounds somewhat suspicious.
And what did I lie about? Do a topic search for "death eater" and see who has the first post with that phrase. I don't use topic search very much, and didn't realize that it only matches whole words.
Also, I thought that people were expected to make votes on little or no information at the beginning to get things rolling.
The vote itself is a bit OMGusy but coming from a new player, I don't mind the defense as a whole.degaston wrote:Yeah, I focused on one thing and somehow missed something else in the same post.got tonkaed wrote:It was rather odd when you made a point of mentioning specific flavor (about Hermonie) and then somehow missed the idea of the death eaters (from the same post and flavor).![]()
What are you talking about? The Fresh Prince joke bothered you?got tonkaed wrote:No one thinks the joke voting thing is weird because it happens every game, but certainly your initial posts and reaction to when storr first hinted at being Filch are worthy of discussion.
As for Storr, I assume that he must actually be Filch, or he's some form of scum and has been told to use Filch as a cover. If he was scum, it seems dangerous to draw so much attention to yourself right from the start. (or could it be a reverse psychology ploy?) If he's really Filch, then I would think he's kind of harmless, or at least not on the side of the death eaters. In any case, at this point, I see no reason to vote for him just because he's staying in character. (gives him a can of tuna for Mrs. Norris)

... because he seems to be grasping at straws to direct suspicion at me.
taken from an earlier Degaston post: "Skimming/forgetting what was in the opening post is a crime here? Who knew?"degaston wrote:I never said that I was unaware of Death Eaters as a concept - just that I was unaware that the mafia/scum here were called Death Eaters. The only other mafia game I played had no "Flavor" at all, so I was not expecting that they would be called something else, and that's what caught my attention in strikewolf's post. In my last game, someone outed himself by using the incorrect term to claim as vanilla townie, so I thought this might be something similar. Yes, I read the books and saw the movies, but I had to look up stuff like stink pellets and polyjuice potions.got tonkaed wrote:To be fair, I haven't been the only one who find it odd that someone who has read all the books and knows content (polyjuice references, telling people to read the books etc) would somehow be unaware of Death Eaters as a concept. Even if you had searched poorly (which is impressive enough in the opening scene post), you more than likely would have been aware of what the Death Eaters were as a group.
Sorry, what is skimming?got tonkaed wrote:My point regarding storrs initial hinting at being Filch was your post after were you seemed to be setting up to push on storr by stating has anyone else claimed, fake or otherwise? it would have been fairly clear if not skimming that no one else had claimed and that storr had not actually claimed, it was simply being assumed.
dd said that others have hinted at claims, though I haven't been able to identify anything. Does anyone not think that storr is claiming Filch?
I was just trying to get him to explain his statement about "fake claims", but now I'm treating everything everything he writes as though it was from a Filch spambot.
This just feels too anxious to jump to me. There had been some set up with this but it just all happened very quickly with little set up. I might be judging this too much from my own perspective though. I know Storr and Mtam and I know it isn't exactly uncommon for them to call each other out early game. This isn't something that Dega or Sempai knows so perhaps I am a little bit critical in this regard.degaston wrote:You mean all 2 people?

My problem I have with this is a few things.degaston wrote:I'd say that it would fit the character well, and he doesn't have any magical powers, so... why not?strike wolf wrote:@Sempai: How would Filch make a good day cop?
Now he says he's just a squib, so I don't know if he's denying that role, or...?
My problem with this post as stated earlier in the game is that he essentially contradicted himself and made it apparent that he had stated that he would be a good day cop without much thought.degaston wrote:I have no idea what makes someone a likely day cop or not. Storr made a pretty specific accusation, but when he first made it, I thought it was just random ranting because I had no idea that it was possible for anyone to know someone else's role on the first day. Then he referred back to his original comment, and Tonka suggested that he might be a day cop, so (after looking that up) that made sense to me that Storr could have already found out mtam's role.strike wolf wrote:Storr and Mtam are both likely to jump on someone as scum after one or two posts, regardless of their roles.
Okay degaston, considering your logic makes less sense than Senpai just throwing it out there. How does Filch make a likely day cop?
Now that Storr appears to be denying any special powers, I don't know what to make of any of this. If he was a day cop, I don't know why he would have used it on mtam so early. If we lynch mtam, and he turns out to be town, then storr would be the obvious next target, so I don't see what he gains from this if he's not sure.
I liked this post at the time and I still like it now. A bit of a pattern is developing here in that he goes back to the "Im new" defense under fire though I will admit that he does it in a way that makes sense.degaston wrote:Well, of course I threw it out there without really knowing what I was saying - This is only my second game, and I'd never heard of a day cop until a few posts ago. Filch, the character, was always prowling around the school, looking for trouble makers - this fits what I think a day cop would be, and I explained that I thought it fit the character. When you said that my logic makes less sense than sempai throwing it out there (whatever that means), and repeated your question, I didn't have anything else to give you, and thought that maybe there was something about a day cop that I didn't understand, so I said I have no idea what makes someone a likely day cop.strike wolf wrote:Thats not what you said though.

I am unsure on Mtam but I think Degaston is a good candidate for scum.

Perhaps you could tell me why my first explanation was not good enough?
What bugged me about this is that it came across to me as Post Hoc Ergo Hoc. He essentially brings my argument into question by linking to the explanation he had given in response to my argument after I had given my argument.degaston wrote:Strikewolf, how is this different from what I said?sempaispellcheck wrote:He's the caretaker - he essentially polices the castle and is responsible for punishing misbehaving students.strike wolf wrote:@Sempai: How would Filch make a good day cop?
sempai
A reasonable breakdown of some aspects if a bit simplified. I did vote on you because you backtracked but you have also yet to answer my question about why you felt the need to answer the question directed at Sempai. I also stick by backtracking and contradicting oneself (I would say LAL applies better as LAC (Lynch all contradictors)) is one of the scummier things you can do in the game and I stick by you and Sempai getting attention because of it even though now Sempai is not quite proven town.degaston wrote:Excuse me? I never voted for Storr. I was just questioning him because I didn't understand what he was doing, and Tonka thought that I was going after him.Streaker wrote:Wouldn't be surprised if they are. I already called out how jump-happy they were. First all wagon Storr and when Storr points to Mtamb they quickly switch like he is their leader.strike wolf wrote:Considering that I think Dega and Sempai are a likely scum pair I am fine with voting either of them.
At first I thought Storr was just rambling nonsense, then Tonka suggested he might have a power that could have identified Mtam as a death eater, so that's what made me vote for mtam. Then Storr denies having a power, so I don't know what to think anymore, and Strikewolf jumps on me for backtracking. Now it seems that people are saying that Storr and Mtam are going after each other because of a personality conflict?
I can accept this explanation.I never thought that it made much sense for Storr to draw that much attention to himself if he was scum. It looks like he just enjoys playing in character, and I'm fine with that.
Interesting.Meanwhile, Tonka says that I jumped on "every single person who ever says anything in [my] direction." when it was only him and strikewolf that I voted for, but not HotShot. Should we lynch that liar?
And strikewolf jumps on me because he says that it makes no sense for filch to be a day cop because he prowls around at night? As though the mod had to be perfectly consistent when he was assigning roles?
I will say this is probably not the best way I've seen it stated but it does match well with what most do Day 1...On day 1, I have no clue who is scummy and who isn't. I vote for this person or that person just to see what happens. If somebody thinks that's scummy... whatever.
Defends Sempai and brings up Pershy. Might have a point here.degaston wrote:I just read through all of his posts, too. Is anyone able to sum up the case against him, or is it just that it's easier to try to nitpick the statements of an inexperienced player. (I know how that feels.) I saw that one of Storr's points against him was that he "blatantly wishes to follow", but has anyone noticed pershy's posts (easy to miss, since there are so few of them):Ragian wrote:I've walked through sempai's posts and I agree that he seems all over the place suggesting first that Stor would be town, then scum, then 3rd party, then something 4th (if possible). I also see him being caught up in some semantics. It just doesn't scream scum to me. Rather that makes him very engaged in the flavour trying to figure out reads based on that in my eyes. Mix that with his lack of mafia experience and you get a loose dog in a bowling alley (that might be a Danish expression, but you probably get the point). Anyway, I don't find his various attempts at figuring out what Stor was or his backtracking particularly scummy.pershy wrote:Hmm maybe Mtam as Endgame says.pershy wrote:I could get behind a Ragian vote....These seem like the posts of a follower, but no one else seems interested in putting any pressure on him to contribute more.

Also Storr is good at scum hunting and therefore is a valuable town player (when town of course).
This struck me as a bandwagon vote.degaston wrote:Sempai fp'ed me while I was responding to Ragian's post. I know he was under some pressure, but my understanding is that people are supposed to wait until L-2 to claim.
Why the rush, sempai?
I was kind of defending you because I thought they were just picking on an easy target, and that others needed to chime in some more, but even after 1 game, I know that you're not supposed to claim that early. So now we already have 2 1/2 claims. In my last game they discouraged trying to get too many claims on D1.
Unvote
Vote Sempai
I don't know. I could see an argument either way but I just don't like that he seems to be following what he learned about scummy posting in another game over his own reasoning. On one hand, I understand that he is new and that's not that unlikely to happen on the other hand it makes it easy to fall behind something without explaining it and he did this a bit with the "vote tam because storr seems to be a day cop and it makes sense type of thing as well because REASONS!" issue as well.degaston wrote:So do you think we need someone else to claim so you can vote for them?got tonkaed wrote:Not voting for Sempai today...
We have Storr/Filch claiming no powers.
Mtam claiming some kind of power that will presumably lead to more information on D2.
And now Sempai who made an unforced claim of "town with no night power" Can that be something other than VT? If he is scum, has he been given a cover name? Does that fact that he didn't give one mean that he doesn't have one and is afraid to make a claim on a name that is being used?
As I've said before, I'm generally in favor of getting more input from the lurkers because I think that will help things become more clear on D2, but I don't know the standard for when you have enough claims and decide that you have to pick one of them to vote for, or else "no lynch". I agree that the reasoning for the attention on sempai was pretty weak when it started, but in my first game, an unforced claim turned out to be a tell by a nervous/inexperienced scum.
