[TheGoddamn]

For what it's worth, I trust Crab. I've been suspicious of Lord of Castamere since forever, for reasons most recently articulated by roy in this post. By itself these things aren't reason for suspicion, but together, they add up. Roy noticed Possum's idea to save TWE, as well. Why would we waste our ability for something like that? Weird thinking aloud on his part.

I can't condone lynching TWE because if he really is poisoned, he's going to die in a couple of nights-- ie, N5. That means that even if he has succeeded in his steal/sell task, he can't achieve his win condition anyway. If he's still alive on D6, that means that he was lying, and then he becomes a suitable lynch candidate.

I'm going with my gut on this one.

Lord of Castamere

Sorry for the lack of posts in the past real-life days; I've been pulling double shifts because it's all hands on deck at work.

 

[Kawl_USC]

We now have a 4 way tie at 4 votes. We have 4 players with no votes currently placed and an additional 4 votes placed on non front runners.

Have Kalor or Flame checked in since requesting I participate more via their votes? I'm curious if I have met their desired activity and where they may be leaning for placing their actual votes at this time.

 

[Flame_AC]

I would prefer that Crab lives and so for that reason alone:

Vote: Retroid

The posts on the last page were especially important as they have some good reasoning behind them. I think we can let TWE go until he dies later and so that leaves us with Retroid. Also, you need to add "Vote" to your post TheGoddamn.

Any reason you dismissed LoC as a possible vote?

 

[Flame_AC]

LoC has 3 votes and me voting for him only put him tied with everyone else, I'd rather not force Crab to claim if possible. I went with someone I can actually put in the lead.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Vote: TheWorthyEdge

Bird in hand is worth two in the bush and all of that. Unless I wake up to some shenanigans, I'm keeping this here. Plus, we don't have to waste any resources watching him or dealing with that horcrux in another way. Retroid should be a topic for tomorrow if nothing better comes up.

For what it's worth, I think Possum may have been confused about the Weasley shared switch. I did a doubletake when I read it, but suggesting we take the switch off Blarg seemed too bizarre to be an attempt at a trick. Not that I see any point to switching him at all. Watching, maybe. Following, for sure, if anyone can. But then, these possible resources could be better spent elsewhere, as I said above.

 

[Kawl_USC]

LoC has 3 votes and me voting for him only put him tied with everyone else, I'd rather not force Crab to claim if possible. I went with someone I can actually put in the lead.

Thegoddamn's vote above you put him at 4 as well. But fair enough.

 

[Kawl_USC]

TWE and Retroid both at 5 votes now. 2 of the previously 8 aloof votes have been cast at this point.

 

[Blargonaut]

whew

Looks like I'll actually kinda be here for the end of today, in an unlimited capacity

so if you want vague I'm here

 

[Miracle]

I could change my vote to one of the 5 voted people. Thinking about it....

 

[TheExodu5]

I was suspicious of LoC during day 2, when it seemed like he was trying to save kingkitty from a lynch by promoting a lynch bomb fear. He hasn't really come up on my radar day 3, but I still feel more strongly about him being scum than anyone else at this point.

Vote: Lord of Castamere

 

[Blargonaut]

Huh, so that's how Blarg makes his posts

scaffolding is cheap

One main issue I have with your theory on the crucio spell- Voldemort died, and there wasn't really anything I recall from his role pm to indicate your theory

ALL SIGNS POINT TO MAYBE?

Oh, and I still don't believe this shit about an alternate horcrux win condition

but it's totally happening all around you

 

[Miracle]

So now it's 5 votes for TWE, LoC, and Retroid.

This should be an interesting finish.

 

[Kawl_USC]

Of the 4 leading vote parties, it seems that we have two under suspicion due to their behavior, one under suspicion due to his action night 1 (but little suspicion aimed at his behavior during the day), and one who some feel is better safe than sorry when it comes to lynching.

With a game with so many convoluted roles (power madness I say), it seems that pursuing a player based only on a watchers report, where there exist another inconsistency in said watchers report from the next night, is kind of weak. If some of those leaning to voting on crab had more of a qualm about his play/posts I'd appreciate hearing them at this time.

Additionally, from a meta perspective I think town can consider the message they are sending to any future neutrals in games with a TWE. Lie, lie, lie. Because town will never accept that you could actually be good willed when revealing information about your role, even when you are slated to die and have a non conflicting win condition.

I think Mafia is a game of reads, reactions, and information delving. I'd prefer to lynch someone today based on their actions and posts over anything else. So my vote will remain on Retroid. I also ask that anyone moving their vote provide more backing than simply wanting to get on one of the stronger bandwagons if you have any at all.

I meant to unvote earlier but completely forgot too.

At this point I've begun to lean towards a TWE vote just so that we can clear up any information about his role. I still have this feeling that he is holding back information that might be detrimental to town but I hope that lynching him won't do anything weird.

VOTE: TheWorthyEdge

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

I think I'm gonna go with VOTE: LordofCastamere

Because I think I may have been roleblocked when I tried to steal from him...

 

[Blargonaut]

yo TheGoddamn

Any particular reason(s) why you name-claimed as Sirius Black first?

Just curious

If you've already explained why, I might have missed the post, in which case apologies

 

[Matt Attack]

I'm also voting for Castamere.

VOTE: Lord of Castamere

Reasoning 1: Gut read. I agree with others that his posts have felt off. Various misunderstandings, posts of frustration with how the game is going- these aren't necessarily scum tells, but taken in altogether they do feel kind of weird to me.

Reasoning 2: His behavior in regards to who we should vote for gives me some weird vibes. In particular, he seems to frequently fight for lynches that are 'safe'. There's been a recurring theme with him where he'll argue in favor of lynching somebody who's not likely to be scum in order to avoid putting town in danger from perceived threats (first with Burbeting, where he argued that he wanted to avoid accidentally lynching a power role, and today with TWE, where he argues that even if he is likely a neutral already on death row, he could potentially pose too great of a risk to us). This behavior isn't inherently scummy, but I personally think it's far too defensive to be of real value to town. In a war of attrition, we give scum more opportunities to hurt us overall. As such, I can pretty easily imagine a scum player taking up the positions that LoC has up to this point. Of course, LoC is not the only player who has advocated lynching Burb or TWE, but these facts in combination with the rest of his behavior help me to better justify a vote against him.

 

[Kawl_USC]

I think I'm gonna go with VOTE: LordofCastamere

Because I think I may have been roleblocked when I tried to steal from him...

If you had been role blocked, why would that lead you to believe LoC was scum? Do you think it was his inherent role that blocked it versus you being role blocked at random?

Also, why are you uncertain on being role blocked or not? Retroids post points to the fact that it would be explicit if one is role blocked, which fits with all other night actions letting the targeted party know that something was done to them.

 

[Kawl_USC]

7 LoC, 6 TWE, 5 Retroid, 3 Crab.

Am I right in tracking votes as such?

 

[flatearthpandas]

I think I'm gonna go with VOTE: LordofCastamere

Because I think I may have been roleblocked when I tried to steal from him...

Not sure I follow this logic. That was N1, right? Even if you were role blocked, why would that put suspicion on your random target? Maybe I'm missing something.

Also, didn't Gorlak claim to Role blocked last night? Is there indication beyond actions failing? Flavor text?

Edit: Retroid, not gorlak, whoops. Gorlack got stupefied.

Im thinking LoC may have a role that blocks a role or something. I would say why but I really don't like it when I give information I got outside of inside this thread and through informational PMs.

In addition to this, I implore everyone who has not voted to vote. This three- (perhaps four-) way race to lynch will be a wealth of information for tomorrow and on other days. On days with a clear bandwagon, scum can easily obfuscate their alignment by joining or scattering their vote. Here, the voting sequence will tell us much, much more.

(However, and I may be incredibly slow here because of my lack of sleep, but what inconsistency are you talking about, Kawl?)

Blarg: I explained it in my own megapost

I claimed Sirius because I didn't want to reveal the existence of Miracle. In line with this goal, I also took responsibility for the Rynam/Burb switch on N1, which Zippedpinhead (Miracle's predecessor) did. Lore-wise it was the best I could do on short notice, given that Sirius is the spiritual predecessor of Fred and George-- he even made the Marauder's Map, which was invaluable to the twins's mischief.

 

[TheGoddamn]

Hang on. Emphasis mine:

Apart from PMs, where else would you possibly get information from outside this thread?

I just sounded super sketchy lol

 

[Blargonaut]

I really feel that there's a damning piece of evidence here that's been lost within all this claim noise today, and now we're all mostly blindfiring with our votes while mostly ignoring all the claims for the sake of convenience

There're too many people running interference, and it's brought us down to the crappy Day 1 'feels' tier of accusations while there's a TON of truly incriminating details right in front of us

I feel like I'm really missing something here, some important link or lack thereof between all these claims, a loophole or something, I don't know...

I thought claiming Black might be risky in case another player actually had him. Did you have any worries about that?

Hang on. Emphasis mine:

Yeah, what's going on here? Assuming anything he's said is true, would this imply a neutral faction?

 

[Miracle]

I like how when I posted that I thought about changing my vote, suddenly more votes came for LoC.

Interesting reaction. I'll keep it in mind.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Wait, TWE, why do you think that. Did you get any role pm saying you were explicitly roleblocked? (As Retroid got?)

I also find it REALLY uspect that TWE NOW wants to live, doesn't want to die now, probably wants to screw with us one last time now

 

[Blargonaut]

Oh wait, it's me apparently doing the most 'feels' tier of accusation towards Crab right now, isn't it

heh

The inconsistency of having watched Blarg but only seeing you visit him, when we also know that he was visited by TWE, the thief. So clearly there can be shenanigans going on where the watcher does not receive the whole picture. Basing a vote solely on that information becomes shaky at that point in my opinion.

I think LoC roleblocked me because Salva said that the only way my role can be blocked is if I am roleblocked. He then said "like what happened N1".

 

[flatearthpandas]

You meant to say this is from an info PM?
Wasn't the fact that you supposedly are unable to destroy horcruxes but that they'll be destroyed if you're lynched with them from a PM? Why coy now?

I think LoC roleblocked me because Salva said that the only way my role can be blocked is if I am roleblocked. He then said "like what happened N1".

Am I supposed to believe every single character inn the game has an item?

That wasn't what I meant. I meant you just needed to say outright what the heck you meant. Which you have now done.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

I don't know guys!

I feel like when I first proposed to lynch me I was like "Oh boy they're gonna destroy a Horcrux and get a thief out! WOOH!" but then I thought about it and I'm already gonna die so depending on what I do with the Horcrux, give it back to Blarg or keep it until I die, it won't really matter.

It's in towns best interest to just let me die with the poison and try and go out for more Deatheaters. So what if I'm in the game I'm dead essentially, and in the meantime I can only SELL tonight, and potentially have the ability to STEAL and with my death destroy another Horcrux. The only reason why some of you are voting me is because you don't believe me. Well believe me on this: you are going to be really underwhelmed when you see exactly what I told you.

To all the townies. PAY ATTENTION TO WHO VOTED ME.

 

[Kawl_USC]

explain.

I think LoC roleblocked me because Salva said that the only way my role can be blocked is if I am roleblocked. He then said "like what happened N1".

It doesn't immediately follow that because your action on person X failed due to a role block, that it was person X who role blocked you. In fact that's a pretty ridiculous logical jump in a game with this many people.
