Someone accuses Chaz of taking day one too seriously but does NOT vote, and Chaz immediately throws out the finger of suspicion in response. Curiouser and Curiouser. |
Actually, I'm with Chaz on that one. Silverfire, did you mean that townies, not mafia, would try and start serious analysis? Got something on your mind? |

I thought about that way at first too Krad, but, if that's what she meant, then her words are even more scummy. I was wondering if she was playing with the first part of the sentence. Something like "Chaz's argument is intriguing, on the other hand..."
That thought would certainly make sense coming from a townie, but a scum might be nervous about supporting the idea (whether I had her scum mates or townies in my sites.)

Firstly: Touché.
Secondly: Some day you'll accept that Chaz is wacky all by himself.
(there isn't a role feature requiring me to make a vote in the way you suggested. I'm just being Chaz.)
Also (@everyone). Read my crazy posts. There's logic in there somewhere. Maybe you can translate it for me. _________________ The enemy's base is down. |

Uhh, thanks, Quail, I was trying to make head or tail of "Silversunet."
Anyway, I must have been on crack at the time of my last post, as I was trying to say that Chaz's actions are the kind of thing that can be off-putting, and might make a player feel like Chaz is scummy, but I think they're really more characteristic of a townie. I apologize for the mistake. |

Ah. In an advisory (as opposed to considering) capacity, your post makes sense and doesn't seem scummy to me anymore.
Assuming, of course, it wasn't a Freudian slip. For now, I withdraw my suspicion of Silverfire. Also, sorry about goofing up your name.  _________________ The enemy's base is down. |

Chaz how do you go from Zag and me to MNOWAX so fast? You posted an FOS and then 2 minutes later decide to vote him.
Right now, I'm not that much surprised about MNOWAX.

Although I was the one to point out Chaz's suspicious behavior, I have to say that I hardly think it worthy of an immediate lynching. It was enough to put a little pressure on him, but MNO has gone too far, which is a little suspicious. Then again, this is pretty typical behavior for MNO, so I don't put too much weight on it. I still find Chaz more suspicious, for reasons I've said before and I repeat below.
---------------------
Silverfire, I have to disagree with you. Generally townies are joking around at first, and not trying to draw conclusions because there is so little data. It is the mafia who are trying so hard to get suspicion aimed at someone else that they are serious right away. This varies, of course, from player to player, so the best approach is to see how that particular player behaved in a different game.
Chaz was already claiming FOS based on the very first post in this game, one which was obviously a joke, anyway. To compare to his own past behavior, the only one I have found in which Chaz was a player from the beginning (admittedly, not looking all that hard) is the 10-year reunion game. (Note that he was still using the name 'HyToFry' at the start of that game, but it's the same person.) In that game, he was joking around, too, and it was not until late on the first page that he started to get analytical. (He was innocent in that game.)
Even so, that first action by Chaz was only enough for an FOS from me. It was his later hyper-defensiveness followed by a desperate attempt to throw suspicion around, looking for someone else on which it might stick, that pushed me far enough to vote. Just over halfway through the second page and he's already accused three people and voted for two.
Even with all this, I wouldn't want to see a quick lynching, and I would unvote if it looked like that was going to happen. I'd like to see his feet to the fire, but but that's it, so far. MNO has gone overboard. |

I would like to point out that while MNO is appearing to be quick on the trigger, his ambition and desire for momentum does not strike me as suspicious as the behaviors of Chaz. Chaz still has my suspicion, but I'm not willing to vote yet. Since he's already placed 2 FOS's himself, I'm wondering if this post will get me one as well. _________________ Sentran

Heh. Hardly a double post. I posted the FOS, then I decided to look at your previous posts, then I kicked it up to a vote.
You jumped at the first bandwagon you saw (though I agree with you're reasoning, as I've stated. Getting a bandwagon going (and putting pressure on someone) is always a good thing on first day when we have nothing to go on.
Your second post was to jump at the first person who acted strangely. Fair enough, and you don't know me, so you might not even be aware of how odd I am. You seemed pretty sure of yourself, but offered no logic... whatever.
Your third post was basically "[LYNCH HIM QUICK QUICK QUICK, SO WE CAN GET TO NIGHT!]"
Either of the first two alone are forgivable. The third is very suspicious, but not "clear" sign. The three of them together seems obviously scummy to me. _________________ The enemy's base is down. |

Sorry, I started that post right after MNOWAX posted.
I'll address your points as quickly as I can (I'm socializing as well.)
@Snik: Am I jumping that much? *shrug* I don't disagree with your logic for sure.
@sAb: two minutes was all I really needed to look at MNO's three posts. (@everyone: is he usually this quiet? I really don't know MNO that well.)
@Zag: Your logic is solid, but I think it should be pointed out that you were finding me scummy in a game where you were scum. Using that logic to support your reasons in this game probably isn't the greatest of ideas. Also... I think you read me a lot more serious than I am. I don't take strong stances about things unless I'm positive about them. I would definitely say that MNOWAX is the most likely candidate for scum, but there isn't anyway you could get me to say that he is scum. i don't know. I don't have a clue. I just know that he's eager to get somebody lynched, and that reeks of scum.
@Sentran: Your logic is solid as a rock... but I'm not acting strange. I just am generally strange. _________________ The enemy's base is down. |

Umm, huh?
I'm using evidence from a game in which I was scum, but I didn't find you scummy over there, I find you scummy here. In fact, the hyper-defensive stance you took (here) reminded me a lot of my own behavior in that other game, and Mackay correctly crucified me for it. I was Mafia there, and I suspect that you are here. |

Eh. That's what I mean by "you read me a lot more serious than I am."
Notably, the parts where you say I was "hyper-defensiveness" followed by a "desperate attempt to throw suspicion around." I'm just not that intense about a game of mafia. I only get adamant about things when I'm sure about them.
As I remember it, you thought I was slightly scummier and linked to CzarJ (until my awesomely crazy theory left everyone pretty sure that I was innocent.) However...
I guess I misread your post, and agree that your logic (now that you've clarified it for me) is solid. I still wouldn't advise voting for me ('cuz that would be ridiculous), but I do agree with the logic in your reasoning. I still think MNO is the obvious target for fire feet right now though. _________________ The enemy's base is down. |

Also, I've only placed one FOS (for MNO, who I later voted for) and voted for Zag. The FOS I put toward SIlver was a legitimate FOS, but I revoked it when Silver explained her(?)himself. Although, I do admit that would still weigh it in (as a possible Freudian slip) if SIlver were to act scummy later on. _________________ The enemy's base is down. |

MNOWAX behaves that way all the time. Not that its still not scummy and he tends to hide behind this type of persona when he is scum. probably one of the safer day 1 lynches.

Well, I signed up suspecting I was about to be killed off in my other game, and here I am
...
Anyway, I think when MNO said "other scum" he meant other than UM, who he was accusing of being evil. Nonetheless, I think that he or Chaz are probably the best lynches today, simply due to the fact that lynching them will strengthen our town whether or not they are evil. I don't know MNO but his style appears completely bereft of analysis, and Chaz goes to the other extreme of dribbling incessantly about unhelpful stuff that he thinks is brilliant and muddying the waters.
I'm going to vote: Chaz - partly day-1-no-information-bandwagoning, partly personal vendetta, but mostly:
| Chaz wrote: |

Wrong, the game was stated to have "almost all standard roles with nice flavour text to suit the theme". Chaz apparently does not have one of these, and in Ambgames (forgive the meta- aspect to this) I live in constant fear of his creative and terrifying evil roles (in particular, his serial killers tend to be incredible). In addition, it seems like he is digging for information/gauging how much people know.

Firstly: Welcome Mackay. I love playing Mafia with you. [/obvioussuckiknguptothenewsenator]
[nowontothegame]
I agree with your logic at the start of your post. MNO and Chaz are the currently obvious choices for day 1 pressure. I also don't know MNO, but it sounds like he's a less inflammatory version of IS (which always comes of scummy to me.) You know me; you know my style.
Where you lose me is the part after this:

I'm not sure if you think I'm implying something Amb didn't say, or if you're saying that I guessed at a special role because I had one.
If the former... I think it's pretty straight English. "most of the roles will be standard." That certainly implies that at least one of the roles could be non-standard.
If the latter, well... after the last game, I decided to read every word of Amb's opening post very carefully. That's why I assumed sAb had some insider knowledge when he said he was positive; I figured his role might be one where he gets to know who a scum is before first night, but he's not allowed to tell anyone how he knows (or was just playing it safe).
I'd like to hear a bit more about this Mackay:

I mean, if you had a standard role with a fancy name/flavour text, you would still recognise that your role was essentially a standard one. (AFAIK, everyone's role has a special name - mine does, but my role description is that of a standard role.)
I think I have misinterpreted though, I for some reason read it as your saying that all the roles were non-standard. Vote stays anyway, because what the hell. |
