Seriously, this game will be my death sentence for NOC... scumhunting's always been my weakpoint, and this game has barely any night actions.... why the hell did i sign up again? Ah, yes, to see how far i've come since I started practicing off site... apparently NOT so much. I need more practice.
Anyway, although i'm useless in the scumhunting department, i'd still like to let you know that i don't believe any of the arguments for lynching people are strong enough for my vote.... but i do think there's at LEAST 1 mafia (2 likely.... 3 if we're lucky) in everyone that's been accused thus far.... but i'm unsure who.... give it more time imo, one of them willl slip eventually.
You and ButteredToast are both useless in the scumhunting department, huh? Wow, isn't that convenient. If you're mafia you get to put in zero effort to trying to think like a villager and fake some reads, if you're village you get to hope the loudest people talking are a. accurate and b. village and carry you to victory.
"in everyone that's been accused" so you mean over half the game has at least one mafia member in it? Ding ding ding we have a winner! No but seriously, there are strong accusations on most of the people in this game. This is not a new insight. Pokeguy you seriously cannot have solely this insight so far. Read the thread and post SOMETHING about what's going on. Any input whatsoever about how people are interacting, or not interacting.
Been waiting for
Haunted Diamond to respond. I don't intend to pursuit another lead until then.
My vote stays on him.
This is a useless post. Everyone is waiting on Haunted Diamond because he's formed a band with 4 of the other users in this game called Hannahh and the Idlers and they're on a world tour. You haven't said anything of substance for over 100 posts and I am skeptical you have a good reason for this, now that you conveniently have HD as someone in the spotlight to wait for. Reads on other members, anything of note??
That Yeti post has alarm bells going off in my head.
Oh good, considering nobody else in the game has had a negative thing to say about me except Spiffy thinking my statements were wishy-washy and not reading the post where I said I preferred a Gale lynch of the 3 bandwagoners, and have this entire time.
Firstly there is now a very suspicious connection between her and Haunted Diamond. If HD flips scum then people should absolutely take a long, hard look at Yeti for that post. She tries to obscure this covering of HD and pushing the Gale lynch by lobbing acidphoenix in with him, but she specifically questions how I came to the HD lynch conclusion when I made an entire post about it on this very page. This is classic Yeti mafia play if HD is her partner and I'm now absolutely of the mindset that HD is the best lynch for today.
I'm gonna be honest my eyes were glazing over after trying to record every post made since last night and I figured it was the same logic you could apply to Gale or acidphoenix. My notes for the two are the same except HD has this weird vendetta against Celever which is mutual. If we exclude HD's interactions with Celever as some sort of weird ex-lovers quarreling, they pretty much do the same non-contributions. I have maintained Gale as my preferred lynch due to his meta posts for quite a while now and I intend to stick to that mindset. He looks like a scum trying to pose as a villager. Once in the spotlight he panics and grows overly defensive. Now that it's off him and onto HD he's cooling it down. He also took that weird deal with TIK into the votes but even then he didn't stick with it when called for it.
You also say that my calling out AFKs is indicative that I'm partners with an AFK (as well as TIK and...HD? lol) which is absolutely wrong. Calling out the AFKs and forcing them to post is the only way we will ever get a good read on them, and it's way too easy for mafia to hide behind 'reading and catching up pls hold' fucking forever while the actual villagers pick each others' posts clean with toothpicks and manufacture scum 'evidence' where there is none.
I suggested three possible situations in which you could be a mafia member's partner. Nobody except Spiffy and TIK have gone after you, but everyone seems to ignore what they say about you. Except you. And you always have a defensive post on standby. I mean, I don't doubt you'd be equally as aggressive to assert your Strong Village Leader standpoint as a villager as you would be to defend your townliness as mafia. That makes it difficult to tell WHY you are so defensive and always quick to respond to suspicions. Do you not want the cracks in your armor to be exposed or do you not want herp derp analysis weighing down your town contributions?
And I said as much that I don't want the idlers playing these dumb "omg gotta read, thoughts soon xD" games because that's still 1/4 of the game we have 0 information from. However, your proactiveness COULD be a prod.
Finally, her reading of me potentially being HD's mafia partner is both laughable as well as screams out 'shit if my partner flips I'd like to at least get something out of it'. Like that more than anything leads me to find your relation to Haunted Diamond incredibly scummy right now.
So, exactly what I said about you? If he flips, you want something out of it - having been the one to start the lynch and now looking clean. It's the exact same logic and considering you began the lynch, you have more incentive for this to be the actual relation than me and HD. Though I contend I would be more of a protective partner if I were his buddy, I can also see 100% where you would see his ship is sinking and his defenses of himself are getting him into too much trouble. You regarding HD: activity call-outs and continued suspicion following his bus vote leading to this formal lynch request
HD regarding you: the bus vote
He seems relatively silent, perhaps because he doesn't want to slip speaking about his partner? Or perhaps because he's an idle schmuck. Impossible to tell tbh.
I do want to note, however, that I would be against a Yeti lynch despite this post; Haunted Diamond is a unilaterally better lynch than she is. It's just that her post will be quite illuminating as to her alignment if he flips scum.
Of course you would be. If you're mafia you're gonna be pretty certain I flip village, especially if your scumbuddy is someone I have mentioned. If you're village you've been quick to jump on my case when I speak against you (the instant suspicion after misreading my post then retraction, this now wherein you accuse me of exactly what I accused you of for pretty much the same reasons and motivations) despite most of your reads on me being towny. I don't think you trust your own statements that I'm mafia despite trusting pretty strongly Haunted Diamond is scum and considering posts of any substance and analysis are far and few between by other users, you would be aghast to lynch and see me flip as your fellow town. Either way you have no incentive to see me lynched at this point in time. If you were mafia and disgruntled I was onto you a nightkill would be easier to frame.
I will not at all be surprised to see him flip scum. My reasoning behind putting him and acidphoenix off for another day was they have about the same # of contributions:
acidphoenix on: Celever, DLE (suspicion), Gale (voting), UncleSam (bandwagon)
Haunted Diamond on: Celever (weird mutual lover's spat), DLE, TIK (town read), UncleSam (bandwagon)
And I find it somewhat hard to believe they are BOTH such obvious scum with the same tells. I mean, alright maybe they are and that makes the game super easy for us. But there are people like Celever and DLE who have contributions that make me side-eye them (Celever because of his inane arguments with people and how many fluff posts he makes that don't seem to have actual input, DLE has a bunch of town reads to endear himself to people and that evasiveness on Gale), Cancerous who somehow got town read by a bunch of people then began slacking off on saying anything further, Hannahh/ButteredToast/Pokeguy who are all pretty much blank canvases in terms of useful information about them and their relations to others, Spiffy who subbed in for a non-poster then dug into Sam and has had some odd input, and of course Gale who I CAN see as really confused and poorly-played town but I feel more strongly he is scum. That's a good chunk of other people to only have TWO scum in, if HD and AP are both bad.
Maybe we lucked out that way. I'm gonna assume TDG used an RNG to distribute the roles and didn't select players or craft teams intentionally.
Anyway, I wanted to see some interaction. Only Spiffy and TIK have been on your case so I was interested in how defensive you would play it. As it turns out, you default to trying to flip it all around on me and apply what I said about you, to me.
Not your strongest strat, sugar tits.
