Dan, I moved my vote to GR between Iso and Kaze. Sorry for not putting it on a new line.
nHis rational for "relationship hunting" among all of today's top lynch candidates is pretty weak. I just see thin excuses to pressure these people & invent connections as a method of fake scumhunting.Note to self: Look into GR, Kaze, imopen scumteam.
Note to everyone else: I rarely post over the weekend. Don't expect a reply from me until the following Monday.
This says "I'm- Noteable omissions! GR made no comment regarding my "attempt" to end the Day, even after I prodded him. A lot of this attempt was meant to glean information on GR's relationship with Kaze, something that his silence perhaps is an indication of. Of course, scumGR may have seen it as a trap and responded as such, so Kaze as town has little bearing on GR's alignment.
Anyway, in the end I'm still not 100% on Kaze, but I'm more than willing to stop voting him and push against imopen2. He's had some juicy interaction with my other lead for scum, GR, and after this latest round of accusing everyone for everything, I'm more sure about him than ever.
Unvote, Vote imopen2.
Never said Stardust was internally inconsistent, just that his PoV story doesn't make much sense if that's what he really thinks is going on.
You say I'm creating words, and in some cases maybe it won't come to much, but I like to make sure my puzzle pieces fit.
fixed
I say that Imopen is lynch prey (doesn't fight back in a way that's compelling to readers, posts under the influence, doesn't really have solid reads yet). Stardust cut his prey loose only because G_R became more threatening by voting for him, plus he had already laid the internally *consistent groundwork to "find" G_R scum.
This right here is why I wanted to leave GR until tomorrow. I've said this many times (though never why since I didn't want to draw attention to his breadcrumb). This post gave me pause both because it felt townie and because I felt that he was essentially claiming a power role.Well then I guess I suck at logic. Sorry guys, we're not lynching GR today either. And I'm also sorry to let you know that I don't trust your judgement nor reputation from elsewhere, because you (both) seem to be tunneling on me, and I happen to know that I'm not scum.
What doesn't make sense? You're choosing to read my posts in a different light, but that doesn't mean my point of view doesn't make sense. Everything that you've pointed to could have a scum mindset, sure, but it makes perfect sense from a town mindset as well. I'm there, right now....his PoV story doesn't make much sense if that's what he really thinks is going on.
While I don't disagree with Nuwen's logic necessarily, I think Stardust is pretty town right now. The fact that Nuwen has been pushing the G_R lynch and then paradigm shifted over to Stardust when the G_R wagon gained traction[/b] (read: when the Suga wagon disbanded) suggests to me a few things - that being that Nuwen is scum, was busing G_R, and was expecting the Day to end with the Suga lynch (so that when G_R inevitably gets lynched, Nuwen can get town credit for being an early pusher, as well as setting herself up to vote him later on). The rationale doesn't bother me - the timing does. I want to lynch either G_R or Nuwen now, with G_R being scummier. If G_R flips scum, that's as good as a confirmation that Nuwen is scum
in my eyes. If not, then I'll probably have to reassess where I stand on Nuwen.
phone post bbcode fixed etc.Except Stardust's "wagon" isn't yet a wagon, because G_R is the only person voting for him. I wanted to see who'd come out to play first. G_R still has votes on him, even with mine removed. THAT'S a wagon.While I don't disagree with Nuwen's logic necessarily, I think Stardust is pretty town right now.

Your logic shits on Occam too. What kind of scum commits to a hard bus, then waffles later on for no reason? You understand that the point of bussing is to obtain town cred by lynching scum? If you're bussing, you defeat your own purpose by dropping the case. The phrase "throw your partner under the bus" literally means "I am better at this game without you, peace nukka!"
~~
Why is the word BUSSING making such a big appearance without even one scum flip? None of you have
proved to me that you're keen enough to catch one scum, let alone two at once. Sit down.
Suga, this was an attempt to double-vote, wasn't it? The votecount would have revealed your second vote, so why were you attempting to hide it this way? That makes no sense.I'd like to reiteriate:
vote: Kaze
And how is this helpful to the town?Why did you choose the time you did to reveal you were a doublevoter? How was it beneficial to the town?
Good for you. Why?I think it was a great time to reveal the ability
How is asking questions helpful to the town? Oh, I don't know...And how is this helpful to the town?Why did you choose the time you did to reveal you were a doublevoter? How was it beneficial to the town?
No, how is it helpful to question suga about his decision to reveal when he is basically confirmed town at this point? there is literally nothing to be gained. i assume you had some reason for asking him?Good for you. Why?I think it was a great time to reveal the ability
How is askingAnd how is this helpful to the town?Why did you choose the time you did to reveal you were a doublevoter? How was it beneficial to the town?
questions helpful to the town? Oh, I don't know...
Obviously just to him, or I would have responded to you.Manders, are you going to respond to me, or just spambolic?
Yeah, I see it now. I'm not sure what happened there.Are you daft? I answered his question in post 326. You even quoted and bolded my response.He never answered your question, then. I saw nothing regarding a "hasty post" from him. Are you not wanting an answer to it?
Given your comments on Suga, what do you think of Fate?- DroppingSuga is scum, He has posted more than I yet his posts still have the same amount of content as mine, also the proxy vote seems off, course it may just be I've never seen that in the games I've read on MTGS
OMG, ok, time to nip this shit in the bud. (No pun intended.)- Imopen2, which of his posts mentioned a mafia day chat, there was one (I saw posts referencing it) yet I can't find it, that aside, I'm fairly certain this guy is a stoner (as he says he is), not sure whether that's him trying to make excuses for his posts or he is actually high
while posting.
All you did was vote him. You made no case.Who is sheeping who I made this G_R wagon with my own sweat and blood
Who startedI made the fucking Kaze wagon too which IM TRYING TO DISMANTLE
but scum are just far too happy to have that mislynch
stop being blind people
I am still counting, and I already have you down as "For". Why have you changed your mind?Manders, if you're still counting, I am officially against a name claim.
Why did you assume it was Town motivated, exactly?I figured her statement was town motivated. At the time I guessed there was a good reason.Why would you agree to somethingBecause I don't know what will be accomplished by claiming names.Why the question mark?
if you don't know what it will accomplish?
I'm not sure "False Dichotomy" is the right term for this, but then again I refuse to learn all those silly debate terms. I get what you're saying, though, and I'm in agreement.I don't like any of this postWe should end the Day, or at least get things moving in that direction. Everyone either get on the Kaze wagon or say why you'd rather not.
1) It implies we should either be a) voting for Kaze or b) actively defending him/not voting for him, that those unconvinced (I, and possibly others) need to make a definitive stance on whether he is or is not scum
2) It implies that the only real scum-suspect (or whatever vernacular is prefered) is Kaze, despite decent arguments for others (GR, DroppinSuga, imopen, due note, I do not per se
think they are scum, just that arguments have been made regarding them) being thrown around
3) His follow up to this (responding to whether this is a false dichotomy or not) actually makes me think this is even more so
"Either you're voting Kaze or you're not. If you're not, there should be a reason, even if that's simply that you think he's town"
Again, it presents a scenario that we have to decide whether he is town or not (I'm not convinced of either, Nuwen's arguements from earlier make a pretty compelling case, yet my gut tells me he isn't based on my own experience with a similar situation), not only that, he either a) refuses to admit that it is a false dichotomy, b) doesn't believe that it is or c) has no idea what one is (which I doubt), if he didn't believe it is, he would've elaborated further, yet he didn't, implying that A, he doesn't want to admit to it being one, he's presenting a fairly black and white situation that either a) I feel kaze is scum and thus am
voting him or b) I feel that he isn't scum (implying that I believe he is town, least his words do) and thus not voting him.
I'm really getting tired of the condescending attitude. Why do you think you're better than us?Also this is a different site, comparing my MS meta to here is pretty silly. Over there I say things and they get listened to, so you can see why I'm less interested in saying things here
Like I said before, after a couple flips of me being right you'll all come around to listening to me and then I'll lead you sad fucks to victory
What are your reasons for suspecting Kaze?so suga actually is a
double voter.
fine with leaving him alive for now
unvote vote kaze
I was going to say that I think that is precisely what is happening, but this post swayed me:People besides Stardust are welcome to weigh in. I could be seeing what I want to see.
Ah, there's the vote.Alright, I want to present my case on Stardust, because he should IMO be the lynch today. These are the things I started noticing when reading Stardust's posts:
Fucking big posts and my take on them
I saved this post because of theHe never did respond to you directly. This is the post that lead to you vote him. What did you learn from this?1. Okay.1) I don't believe you.
2) Why didn't you vote for imopen2 in your previous post when
you accused him of rolefishing?
2. Because I was waiting for his response to my accusations at the time.
It's the only real reasoning he's given for pointing atYou keep bringing this up against Iso. Why is this in particular so important to you? A purely random RVS vote is a known scumtell.Approximate hit percentage of this tactic? I know at least one game you were in where this failed.
rezombad (which I read as a deflection). I checked after my last post on the subject. Of the seven games I've been directly involved in five of those had someone random voting, self-voting, voting for everyone or explicitly voting for noone in RVS. All five of those people caught flak for it and all five of them were town. "Known", yes, but unreliable.
nMainly because it's a question I feel you should have been asking yourself. It was directly related to your wagon and, in my opinion, was a very informative post - probably the most informative post on the topic of Nuwen's alignment. You say that you think Iso may be scum. Since you "know" you're town, why did Nuwen post that?Because it didn't affect my scumread on her. Why would it?Continuing with the wall... Why did you ignore Nuwen's issues with Iso's handling of your wagon? Does that help with your null read here at all? Speaking of which, what is your read on Iso (and why)?
I'd like to see what comes of him from his breadcrumb in the future. It suggests he has power to control the lynch.![]()
... I was going to decline, but for the sake of the newbies I'll spell this one out. Basically, Iso as scum is breadcrumbing a fake claim that he's brewing. His scum buddy Kaze pressures him to give more detail. Very unlikely scenario. That alone points to at least one of you being town.May I ask what you were thinking here?Hmm... perhaps I'm wrong that Kazikame and Iso are scum together...
This is what I see when glancing at your username. Kazikame sounds right enough that I second-guessed myself and had to google theBtw, where is this "Kamikaze/Kazikame" nickname coming from? You can call me Kaze if my name's too long. If it's just an individual nickname quirkiness thing then I guess I'll roll with it.
correct spelling of kamikaze.![]()
Iso is scum for breadcrumbing when town has no business doing so.So Iso is scum for claiming to not be vanilla...?I suppose I should explain for everyone else that Iso as scum has never claimed vanilla. If he claims vanilla, he's town. As scum, he needs to set himself up to claim a power role. That's what I think he's doing here since there is no town motivation for coming out otherwise.
Anyway, I'm feeling better about you all the time. Thanks for the responses.
Says his Iso wagon is weak, but leaves it open for a revisit. Then he says he's OK with lynching Suga. For someone who writes all those big posts and asks so many questions, it stroke me as odd that he didn't say WHY he'd be okay with that, but instead... he asked yet another question!2 full games plus one that got abandoned end of a long Day 1.@Stardust - how many games have you played with Iso?
In my opinion, the Iso wagon is weak at this point. It needs more before I'll be back on it.
Stop with the role speculation.I believe DroppinSuga has a role that enacts when he is targeted at night, so he is eager to bring the night and get targeted.
Why do you think he's more likely to be town than scum?
Oh shit. You do think he's scum, don't you? Nevermind. Carry on.
Kaze."You guys are sufficiently separated at this point as far as I'm concerned."
Manders and myself or Kaze and myself?
Why wouldBut I'll defer to your judgment.
you do that?
So... I'd be okay with a Suga lynch. DroppinSuga! Give me some content! I directed questions to you specifically in my first post of the game. I'd appreciate an answer.
Furthermore, here's an unexplained vote based on a reply by the Colonel. At the time I shrugged it off because I had Stardust labeled as town, and as I pointed out, I'm always weary of making a decision about Scumbag's alignment.Vote Col. Khaddafi.I don't think anything about G_R and imopen, but the DroppingSuga request for a nolynch at the end of day one doesn't sit well with me. Not that it
automatically means he is scum, but usually you always lynch someone otherwise it sets you back as town so...
On a more positive note this day one is picking up, glad we're done quickly with the RVS
Directed at imopen2, just "poking suspicion" . For the time being, there was no further questioning of this supsicious character, but pokes at other players for content, and...I've never met anyway who assumed mafia had day chat. Mafia act at night. This is the normal assumption. Manders is right, the fact that you assumed the opposite is suspicious.
Still nothing about why Khaddafi is a good lynch candidate, nor imopen for that matter. Also asking others for reasons to vote me, instead ofLord McD's! Are you reading the thread? What's happening right now?
Fate! I actually really do want to get more content from you. Sounds like you're a good player. Maybe you can prove it? Still some unanswered questions from way back that I'd appreciate answers to as well.
I would most like to lynch imopen2 or Col. Khaddafi at the moment. ( G_R ) I'm currently seeing as a coin flip. If you want my support on that wagon, you're going to have to help me out.
What about Khaddafi? Why is the vote still there? Why was it there in the first place? And the "note to self" is obviously hinting others to look into those players.Note to self: Look into GR, Kaze, imopen scumteam.
Note to everyone else: I rarely post over the weekend. Don't expect a reply from me until the following Monday.
Here he says that he's not interested in using meta to clear people as town, yet he's been asking about and using people's metas. Townies want to clear people as town, because they don't want to mislynch anyone.Cute?! Cute is the cheerleaders sittin' on the sidelines. I ain't cute.You're so cute when you tunnel me, Stardust. <3
But who's tunneling? I thought you were scum, then I didn't, then you started acting scummy again. Handwave noted, however.
It's been a while, but it seems like Iso to me. I've never played or followed an Iso scum game and I'm not interested in using meta to clear someone as town anyway. Iso least of all.@Stardust: How does Iso's play so far stack up against the other games you've played with him?
You asked about drawing attention later on. That's Iso, all the time.
Explain what you mean by this.On my comment about being wary of Nuwen commandeering operations, I'd point out people to the Agata Christie's novel 10 Little Niggers. Judge Wargrave came to mind.
You've been happy enough to respond to Spammy's questions with "read my posts" up until now (justifiably), but only now do you kick a bit of dirt back his way. I don't like that this immediately follows Manders' comment that Spammy might be trying to get shit to stick. Opportunism noted.This reads so fake.
In other news, I would like to leave GR until tomorrow. Kaze should be the lynch today.
Unvote, Vote
Kazekirimaru.
Introducing false dichotomy, as noted by LMcd's[/spoiler]We should end the Day, or at least get things moving in that direction. Everyone either get on the Kaze wagon or say why you'd rather not.
Why is the word BUSSING making such a big appearance without even one scum flip? None of you have proved to me that you're keen enough to catch one scum, let alone two at once. Sit down.
I was hoping the vote count wouldn't show it and I didn't want to make it obvious that I had two votes since that makes me quite a target for the scummers now.
It was beneficial to me since the wagons were forming.
Why do you assume he's
confirmed town? He's confirmed doublevoter, yes, and it's likely he is indeed a town role; but doublevoter is not inherently a town role, and he is not confirmed town.
It's never a bad idea to ask questions.
thanks for posting this danYanni is V/LA for an indeterminate amount of time.
He hasn't posted anything that makes me think he's town.Given your comments on Suga, what do you think of Fate?
People are being lazy/busy, and the only thing that is confirmed is that Suga is a double voter.what the hell happened in this thread.

Need to read his posts again, but I'm inclined to say I'm fine with a stardust lynch today.
I was never for. I was only not opposed. I considered clarifying that early on, but the fact is that I just don't care about the name claim. Any discussion on the matter is a waste of time so I didn't bring it up. The fact that it's still coming up repeatedly has me feeling that we should either just shut up about it or get it over with. I don't care which. I said I was opposed to see what Kaze had to say about that.I am still counting, and I already have you down as "For". Why have you changed your mind?Manders, if you're still counting, I am officially against a name claim.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about. What am I saying and what am I doing?The part that I find most telling is the meta stuff. Something had been bothering me about Stardust's play, and GR just hit the nail on the head. He's saying one thing, but doing another. It doesn't mesh.
is it just me or is this admitting to future tunneling@manders I tend to focus on one or two people at a time, so I genuinely did not have anything to say about them
