I'm home now so I'll continue what Alice has started. Also, I didn't intend to 'try the emotional defense', it's just that his defense didn't look
, ie he had no clue what to say. Which happens whether you're mafia or villager - in fact if you're mafia there are chances you're prepared to counter an accusation, but since this is day 1 the cutthroats might not have had time to anticipate anything yet.
Chris is me starts the discussion with a lynch on Tenken; billymills defends Tenken.
Mekkah agrees with Chris that no lynch is bad play and says we should talk a lot. HD points out that the mafia could be leading the discussion, to which Mekkah says it is the president's job to talk, and that we should all contribute.
askaninjask proposes a 24 hour grace period to allow Europeans/Australians to get up, and says that since more than half the game hasn't even posted yet, and that idlers are more suspicious, Tenken seems like a bad target.
Chris answers that waiting is dumb since it will just delay the discussion, as the mafia would avoid saying anything during that period; he also says that while 'it's a good idea to keep an eye on quieter people', there are too many to pick one to lynch for now.
(this argument seems strange to me as randlynching is what Chris suggested in the first place, more or less)
Tenken pops up and defends the no lynch idea, saying that it's unlikely to hit a mafia at that point and that reducing the villager numbers increases the mafia's chances to kill a power role; however Mekkah points out that no lynch gives us no voting patterns to analyze.
reachzero jumps in and says that if we lynch someone, we should eliminate a player who's 'memorably contrarian and quick to point the finger with little or no evidence', then proceeds to fire Chris.
Chris, responding to Tenken, explains once again why no lynch is a bad idea, and suggests that Tenken, by advocating that strategy, is acting like a mafia.
Tenken says that while he's not the best player, Chris isn't either, and that from the games he's seen no lynch day 1 is quite common. In his opinion lynching a bad player is useless because if they are mafia they will eventually slip, so it's better to assume they're villagers until they do make a mistake (a mistake that good players will not make).
TotalPotato answers to reach saying that we will point fingers without evidence no matter what, and that Chris is actually starting discussion which is good. Rook says reach is doing exactly the same and that we shouldn't be suspicious of someone purely because they threaten to lynch someone else.
Rook states that an individual player's skill isn't relevant as the cutthroats are in a team and can communicate with each other, and there is a good chance that at least one of them is competent enough. He then lynches Tenken (that was withdrawn since then).
Tenken says that Mekkah's posts are fishy, as he supported a lynch but didn't lynch anyone himself, and asked for the president's opinion although askaninjask has no reason to know anything that we don't.
billymills defends Tenken again saying that if he was mafia his teammates wouldn't have told him to post during the night, and that no one would recruit him. He also defends Chris because he thinks he just desperately wants to lead.
aska states that he's more suspicious of Rook and Chris because they've been posting a lot and defending each other, but also says that lynching Chris is a bigger risk and so that he would prefer to fire Rook.
Rook answers to Tenken and aska that someone, Mekkah for example, leading the village would be good - hence he's defending him (kinda highly defensive post).
Tenken says aska is possibly a 'weak president', that his opinion is worth that of any other player, and reiterates his point about unskilled players slipping by themselves.
Rook makes another defensive post ('I'm defending Mekkah because I'd like to have him alive as a villager'). Chris says he likes Rook's logic concerning Mekkah.
Tenken asks who we would recruit if we were mafia. billymills says he'd randomize a name among the best 6-7 players. Mekkah says he doesn't think the mafia would recruit a big name and fires jumpluff because she hasn't posted yet.
jumpluff reacts with a long post, in which she says that considering skill differences and the recruitment there is no reason to believe Mekkah is either mafia or villager for now.
After that she demonstrates why Tenken looks suspicious to her: he was overly defensive, hid behind a lack of skill, said that lynching a bad player was a bad idea.
Then she says she isn't strongly opposed to a no lynch and wouldn't want to lynch a stupid villager, but estimates that Tenken is probably mafia in any case and fires him. Then she posts a list of idle players:
- blue_light
- Johann
- reachzero
- jermy
- RaRe555
- macle
- tredge
(Note that she mentionned reachzero even though he posted, but not Thunda nor Trick Room)
Tenken attacks jumpluff saying she's playing the 'vanilla card' and defends himself saying that so far there was no real attack on him, hence he couldn't counter them. Chris answers by repeating his previous points.
Tenken repeats that he never used the fact that he's an inexperienced player as a defense (despite being proven otherwise). Then he explains the reasoning behind his question: it was to get more info based on how it was answered.
Tenken then says he thinks billymills is mafia based on how he defended him for no reason; he also suggests that Rook and Mekkah might be mafia too.
aska says Rook looks more suspiscious to him because of how he quickly lynched Tenken and still encouraged a no lynch, and was defensive in most of his posts.
There is some confusion around the next posts, whether it's because Tenken is avoiding accusations or misunderstanding them, or because other players miss some posts and don't specify who they're talking to. Just mentioning that because some of Tenken's posts were interpreted as bad defense when they could only be a misunderstanding.
Rook says he doesn't actually think Tenken is mafia but still isn't against firing him because according to him it would eliminate a stupid player.
I skipped some posts by Mekkah but he's just making wise-looking compromises everywhere. jumpluff on the other hand repeated multiple times that she thought Tenken is mafia.
Accent sais he though Rook looks more suspicious than Tenken. jumpluff answers that Accent was shady because of this.
TotalPotato remembers reachzero's only post which was quite abrupt and fires him.
jermy suggests a no lynch. jumpluff says it is an awful move. Chris says it's so awful only a mafia would suggest it.
You can start reading but I will synthesize it more.
