Either he's got my vote for the next Oscars, or this man's townie. There is no way those two were on the same team.
Hey. What about me?
Here is DK's reaction after Stardust posts the vote count showing him at 4... When did GR unvote?
I mean, fine.
unvote
Unvote
Vote Dechs Kaison[/

Here's the unvote -
The vote and unvote happened within 40 minutes of each other on Sep 4.Tell you what. You guys post something, do your thing. I have a plane to catch. In the mean time, try not to lynch someone with RSV votes on them while bloodthirstily encouraging others to hammer, mkay?
Oh, and Dechs, here's some more vote hopping for you to theorize:
Unvote Dechs Kaison
Vote Azrael
Unvote Azrael
Vote Dechs Kaison
Unvote Dechs Kaison
Vote Azrael
Unvote Azrael
Vote Dechs Kaison
Vote Azrael
Unvote all
Dechs claims to have not seen GR's unvote on Sep 14.
But there was a vote count posted the page before showing him at 1 vote -
And Dechs acknowledges that single vote on the same page -I'd say it's about time for a deadline...
Deadline is set for one week from the time of this post (plus 10 minutes), Sept 19 - 8 am CST, 2 pm GMT. Deadline Clock.
If a lynch has not been achieved before that time, no lynch will occur.
Votecount!
( G_R ) (2): Azrael, Dechs Kaison
imopen2 (2): Lord_Mcdonalds, hamfactorial
RedNihilist (2): imopen2, Mogadishu Jones
Dechs Kaison (1): rezombad
Not voting: RedNihilist, ( G_R )
With 9 alive, it's 5 to lynch.
(Added bold for emphasis)I'm not flailing at a single
vote on me or threatening to quit. I'm pissed that with all the objective evidence that's out there, the one thing people jump on me for is "claiming scum."
If you ask me straight up: "Are you scum?" I'm going to answer "yes" every time.
Every goddamn time.
Now, what's the scum motivation for a self-hammer?
Here's his justification for the hammer. He mentions imopen intending to hammer as soon as he logged on. How does he know? Mafia chat perhaps?I was going to be lynched as soon as Imopen logged on. What I did was narrow your suspect pool.
He claims that narrowing our suspect pool was his intent, but a self-hammer only makes the pool bigger if you're town. Robbing us of imopen as a scum suspect if we're
hunting on the wagon is the net result.
Further, how does DK know that scum is on his wagon already, or that imopen isn't scum?
At the time, the wagon consisted of me, rezombad and LMD. 1/3 of the game's population and DK claims one or more is scum. That's awfully sharp scum hunting, why wouldn't he want to live?
unvote, vote Dechs Kaison

Like I was just saying to imopen, it's easy to know in a theoretical sense what you should be doing as a scum. In that sense, disdain is "easy". But having the presence of mind, the creativity, to not only execute on that at the perfect time, but to also execute
Disdain is easily faked.
Self voting is a no-no to me.
Simulating a self-hammering just to buy town-cred is over the top, but can you really rule it out?
Remember that - other than barning you at every occasion, he REALLY loves to increase his towncred.
Hey. What about me?
Srsly?The mobile interface isn't very friendly when it comes to posting and editing long quote blocks, so please forgive if this comes out garbled.
*snip*
I said I would adjust my read of DK after rereading his self-hammer attempt. RN discussing it above prompted
me to go do it and I found something odd.

Two different beasts.Go ahead dude, I've been waiting for you to put some real effort into my wagon.
Why are you willing to assign scum mastery to my actions but not DK's?
Here:@DK:
When did you go from not trusting Az for being too good to trying to start a town voting bloc with you two?
That's your last freebie. You can read the thread next time.Ok, so here's where I'm at with that unvote:
I'm suspicious of both Az and GR. Obviously I didn't like GR's vote on me because it's on me. I didn't want to jump on that because I could have just been taking it personally. Az points out the real problems with his vote and it is poor justification and more than a little bloodthirsty.
I've been over how I feel about Az. It looks like he had no idea how town roles were worded. That
bothers me, because if he's half the player they say he is, he shouldn't make that kind of mistake. Everything he says makes sense, but if he's half the player they say he is, of course it all would.
Then there's GR's claim that he didn't know I was a newbie. He was in the conversation; I did say I was new in two out of three posts. This looks like a huge slip and I think we should hang him for it.
But then, I feel the same about Az.
It's possible GR was only laughing at Az getting tips on how to play. It's possible that he didn't pay attention to my being new.
I don't want to jump from one slip to another on a gut feel.
This post doesn't actually say *anything*.To assert that my attack on DK is awful is foolish. I voted him originally because rez pointed out a scum tactic he employed in Gone Postal. Then I unvoted him because I believed his self-hammer was a town indicator, then re-read the whole thing and changed my mind with supporting reasoning and quotes.
If voting for someone is attacking, then you got me bro!
If the best you can do is call my vote and reasoning "weak as hell" I will take that as strong support that I'm on the right track. If you manage to get me mislynched, I hope you will take it as a lesson in identifying your own tunneling tendencies. My role PM is all the proof I need to
discredit you.
Emotional reactions are great information, they simply have to be interpreted correctly. Rage can come from both alignments, for different reasons.In Gone Postal I called you a scummy bastard, you said it was untrue, then turned out to be a scummy bastard. That game in particular taught me that emotional reactions (Wraith trying to replace out when Iso called him names) aren't reliable town tells, so I'm not giving you as much credit for yours.
Oh yeah I'm playing this game
I think Lord McDonalds should speak up.

Az vs Ham: My read on both are roughly the same, I feel Az maybe tunneling a bit on Ham, but Ham hasn't really pinged me so I haven't put much thought into it
@Imopen: I guess Jones is going to do something (he
mentioned it anyway), my only question would be who do you suspect is scum ATM?
My only question would be who do you suspect is scum ATM?
And why.
Did you read his role PM? He was full-scum.We might be jumping to too much of a conclusion that there's only one scum left. I can think of one scenario in which there are two mafia guys left.
Let's say GR was actually telling the truth at the end, specifically that he was half a scum. If that's the case, then we actually have a scum team left to deal with.
It's important to think about the reasons why someone would or would not make a post like this, because this is a pretty subtle tell, easy to gloss over if you're not careful.I'm ok with your method of scum hunting, carry on. You've never played a game with me, so asserting that I don't sound genuine is loose.
Why did you want me to pick two friends?
I'm playful too, didn't you see the lulz?
Here, I'll put in some funny smilies so you know I'm a happy mafia player and nobody should suspect me, like you.
Playful doesn't mean town, and dismissive doesn't mean scum.
Yay, how many Azrael points do I win? I hope I can cash them in for a prize later. I'm sure that you did the 3 scum thing on purpose, but from my POV I can't tell if that's scummy and stupid or a clever pro-town trick to see if I'll bite as noob scum.
For the record, I am indeed unafraid of your case and think it's baseless. But to point at me and say that I'm trying to appear confident and unafraid repeatedly is to lie, as I've only said once, to Dechs and not you, that I wasn't afraid.
Lying is anti-town. Why are you lying?
Check out these quotes. All of them occur in the same post. Nothing surprising, until you read them together and notice that at the very end, there's a glaring disconnect. In all of the initial quotes, ham is gearing up for a vote or indicating suspicion. He says I'm lying. He thinks I'm possibly trying to trick him, as scum. He thinks I'm trying to have people avoid suspecting me, by being playful and using emoticons.I'm annoyed
that you're focusing on me instead of actual scum, but please carry on if you think pressing on me will help. I think your play so far has been pro-town, even if your target acquisition skills are broken.
Homie I don't know what powers the mafia have or don't have. Why don't you tell me more about the mafia? Do you know a lot about them?
His other posts towards me have the ex post facto thing going on, too. Have you played with him before? Does he do this by habit? Do you think it's a cover for scummy play?
I'm disturbed by it as well.
@Azrael - why does MoJo's speed build for offensive weapons equate a vigilante claim? What part of what Dechs said makes you think he claimed vig?
Here's a second series of posts where Ham blatantly trips up, and messes up his story.@Az - I'm not so excite, certainly not
trying to justify lynching you. I'm not even voting for you!
MoJo states that he's going to build a shotgun and use it on you, so that's great. It will help figure out his alignment and give me better reads when you flip.
Ham brings up a link explaining exactly what's wrong with what GR is doing...but fails to actually do anything about it, until it's very clear that GR is going down. He waits, fails to follow up on his own scum tell, that he brought up himself. There's not even any indication in any of his next few posts that the tell he brought up has led him to be any more suspicious of GR than he was before.I'm enjoying the fireworks but I often like to look for "honestly" and "TBH" wording, as it often suggests a self-deception in progress.
You can look up something called performatives, which are phrases inserted before a lie, commonly used by
politicians.
I haven't caught any scum with this observation yet, but looking forward to it.
Dechs playing up that newbie card, despite not leaning on it in our previous two games. Sup with that?
Why did DK feel the need to chime in when I was clearly asking for Az's interpretation of DK's wording? Perhaps he's running interference.
Instead, he says things like this, trying to redirect attention away from GR, and onto another vulnerable target.Az, I understand what you're doing. But why did you take time out from the MoJo/
Dechs pincer to address GR? It seems a low priority avenue to me.
That's a wild role, damn! Stardust you've done it again.
-scratches chin thoughtfully-
This is Ham's reaction to GR's claim. Check THAT out.GR's role sounds quite valuable. If I understand correctly, GR, you can jail someone tonight and you become a Miller, so investigations N1 or D2 return guilty. Tomorrow night you can doc, lose Miller, and any investigations N2 or D3 will return innocent.
Easy enough to verify if we have a cop.
What's your default status if you don't choose an action tonight?
...and then there's this. So weI'm keeping my vote off you until CM gets replaced or comes back.
He's certainly not doing anything to help find the scum.
These posts are literally, back to back. The first post, he's encouraging me to bury an axe in the back of RN's head, instead of continuing to hound GR. The second post - he's got that two-faced, fake-friendly vibeWelcome back to the game, Red
This post is absolutely terrible. The first paragraph is just a long alibi, trying to explain why he didn't vote for GR, in the event that GR is eventually lynched, and trying yet again to suggest role-based reasons why we should ignore GR's behavior and let him live longer. This is the 2nd time that Ham tried to come up with role-based reasonsI'm OK with a DK lynch after rez brought the Gone Postal sarcasm hand-waive back up.
The Az/GR thing feels like town on town tunneling to me. If Az didn't rub me the wrong way, I would likely go along with his case, which is an uncomfortable position for me. I want to believe he's right, but I have a hard time trusting him. Plus I suspect that if GR is really who he says, scum will kill him tonight. I don't want to make it easier on them by lynching a townie PR claim on D1.
unvote; vote Dechs Kaison
So he applys the "honestly" tell to LMD, but he won't apply it to GR? Nice double-standard here, and yet again, subtly trying to redirect the town away from GR.LMD is being very honest with this post.
That's ok, Az, I don't know whether you're scum either. Regarding the ego thing, it's mostly animus towards you.
I'm cool with you and rez (or anyone else) digging through and trying to identify a scum mindset in my posts.
Townies don't say stuff like this. They don't invite other players to launch attacks on them that they know are faulty. There's no reason to do it. Townies don't want bad attacks b/c it threatens to hurt the town, or at the very least, result in a big waste of time.That's fine, vote me if you think I'm scum. My gameplay tends to get better in the late game, D1 is always frustrating for me because of the
information gap. I'm basically just a bystander right now.
Don't tell me what the scum warning signs are, in case I'm scum and they're accurate tells.
