You guys don't need to have a lynch vote on me, I was about to post something now anyhow. I've been busy IRL with a lot of things happening, but I'll hopefully be able to be more contributing from now and on. Btw, I'm surprised you didn't put me on your list OD.
I don't know what I shall post though. I could try to get you guys off me, but if I did that, we wouldn't get as much discussion going as if some of you guys try to crack me, pointing out all the faults I've probably done through this game. Sure, it's no good trying to lynch a villager, but if you guys argue against me, people will have more data to analyse, and we're thus more likely to catch a scum for this days lynch as well.
But I cannot have you guys argue against me without me defending myself a bit. You accuse me of IIoA, so I'll try to give a satisfactory explanation.
First, I give school a higher priority then this game, and thus with a recent and very time-consuming assignment, I did barely have enough time to keep myself up to date with the posts in the thread, much less analyse and contribute myself.
Second, no matter how much I lurk the Smogon forums or read up on mafia tactics on other sites, I still lack the experience to draw many important conclusions myself. And when I figure something out, there are usually someone to post the same things as I was to post, and I find it quite redundant to post a copy of someone else's post.
However, I doubt that you want me to defend myself, and instead deliver you an analysis or two.
TL seems very insistent on lynching NJiggly. I find it unlikely that both are mafia, due to the fact that they both seem inexperienced, and thus would probably not be daring enough to try and pull off such a play that could very easily backfire. Due to a rather suspicious behaviour of both of them, I believe at least one of them to be mafia.
NJiggly made a very suspicious post early on, and later backed it up with a post saying that it was unpolished. The interesting thing here, is that his (her? I hate not knowing what to call ppl...) defense is rather weak, and that the posts doesn't seem like they've been read through even once. A mafia would probably read through a post at least once, to make sure that they don't seem like scum. After all, they have to conceal their true motives by making their actions look villager-ish. I realise that this is all very vague, but with a lack of posts, there isn't that much to go on. Furthermore, on second thought, the lack of posts may be explained with the fact that VT isn't a role that exiting.
TL, on the other hand, tried to push a lynch on a mayor without any counterclaims, seemed to be eager to run for cover when zorbees complains about his attack on NWO, insisted on that he is "noob town" and finally tried to lynch NJIggly twice without providing any reasoning other than that NJiggly hasn't made a lot of posts (a lot of other users haven't done that either, unfortunately. If you feel like you haven't contributed enough, please remedy that! You know who you are...). I exclude the "NJiggly doesn't want to look scummy" part as I believe we all are able to understand why both a town and a mafia wouldn't want to look scummy, i.e. be lynched.
Thus, I believe NJiggly to be town, and TL to be mafia. Feel free to argue against the above, I appreciate when there's a discussion going on, as long as it has a point in it left.
I'm not trusting anyone claiming to be a power role. If MB was village, then why didn't mafia kill him? Due to MB not dying, we are left with a smaller number of possible scenarios:
1. There might be two kills in this game, and the BG managed to block one of them. I have a general detest against assuming things, but if there was a wolf in this game, with a NK, and either the mafia or the wolf knew that zorbees was inspector, this seem like a possible outcome. However, this requires the mafia or the wolf to be able to inspect roles. (Yes, now would be a lovely time for the mafia/wolf to step up and claim inspect.) If this true, however, they must have had quite the luck with the inspect, and not to mention, what are the possibilities of that the other killer also target someone who is protected?
2. Mafia knew that zorbees was inspector.
This is basically the same as above, bar with only one NK. But the only way the mafia could know it was through a random inspect N0. Albeit unlikely, I still find this to be a possibility.
3. Mafia chose to spare MB in hope of us lynching him.
If they didn't knew that zorbees was the inspect, they played quite a risky game, because they didn't knew if MB was inspect or not, and the inspect is the most vital role to the village, especially in NOC.
4. MB is mafia.
Explains why mafia didn't kill MB. I doubt I need to justify why this is a possibility.
Out of the above, I find number 2 and 4 most probable, but I'm inexperienced, tell me (and everyone else) what you think here!
But to be honest, I don't think that any of the above is anything new. As I read through the thread now while writing this, you guys seem to have said everything to be said already.
Oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if I contradicted myself at least once in the above, or lost my track somewhere. I tend to do that when writing late at night. Now, please tear the above apart, give opinions and argue against! I'd love to get more involved in the discussion!.
