Why day ending without a lynch is a wrong option? There is bigger chance of lynching a townie than lynching a mafia at this moment. Saying that town loses a chance to lynch a scum doesn't convince me, I guess first day lynch is too risky.

I still don't believe that Rob is miller as he said but I would say that he's not mafia. Claiming a miller role would make mafia less likely to target him.

Robbeasy: Typhoon - thought the way he used the Wiki and omitted key words from it was very suspicious, throwing more suspicion on me that was warranted. Not a Town move at all, that. Leaning Mafia.

Typhoon45: Oh, that's what you're making a big deal about? I did say "if I remember correctly", and I suppose that I have repeatedly missed a quote from nMillar from the wiki. Although you focusing on a minor point is quite suspicious, especially if it had already been disproved.
Point taken - note i did say only Leaning Mafia. And, at the time (if you go back and check), said I'd give you a chance to explain yourself. Which belatedly you now have....consider the read to be now leaning Town....it was purely that you hadn't explained it in any way that was pinging the scum radar...

No lynch is a bad idea, because the lynch is the only chance that town has to get rid of scum.
It IS risky, which is why we need to try to narrow down the suspect pool.
But every night scum WILL kill a townie.
Therefore we are very much 'on the clock' to get rid of mafia.
Passing up a chance to do that is never a good idea.

I think your reasoning works. Therefore:
Unvote nmillar, vote Orryyrro

Since he has the most votes already.

No lynch still lets the Mafia kill a person at night, this happens no matter what. However, we can pull information out of a lynch, even if we get the wrong person. You have a starting point for questioning people depending on the outcome and a voting trail against people (and claims).

Taleroth, please tell me you have more reason to vote for Orryyrro besides he has the most votes already. This is, kinda fishy to me.

I'm going to Unvote and reread the topic, just figured I'd hop in and say hi.
If we must lynch, we cannot afford a stalemate. So I choose to agree with the majority. We need decisiveness.

Taleroth: If we must lynch, we cannot afford a stalemate. So I choose to agree with the majority. We need decisiveness.
We don't need to lynch until Tuesday though. Speeding through the first lynch bandwagon that gets close is dangerous for the town. Wanting to speed through a lynch with decisiveness is fine, but without a real reason I see reason to suspect you.

Vote Taleroth

Taleroth: If we must lynch, we cannot afford a stalemate. So I choose to agree with the majority. We need decisiveness.
Well, decisiveness is one thing, but I imagine it's best not to charge in against someone without following the reasons that each person in the stack came to their conclusions by. Lynching people is not advantageous to the Town if it's just done willy-nilly - it's got a better chance of ending up killing a Town player than a Mafia one.
Oh, please. Half the votes at this stage lack any real reason. Get over it.

Bandwagoning is a mafia tell, as they know what side they're voting for and it doesn't matter which of them they kill.

@Vitek It's not that I don't want to push anyone past L-5, it's that I don't want to do it at a point that I'm going to be away all day, as I was today having just got home now. I also don't want to do it on someone whose claim basically means they will die in some point in the near future when we in fact need more information.
Oh, please. Half the votes at this stage lack any real reason. Get over it.
In other news unvote; vote Taleroth
Keep in mind Taleroth could be a jester, he acts like one.

fexen: Keep in mind Taleroth could be a jester, he acts like one.
it is certainly a possibility. I would be thoroughly surprised if there were no jesters in this setup, it being Wonderland and all, I mentioned this before, but anyhow.

Robbeasy: Jesskitten - interesting one. Went after Orryrro with a fairly weak theory about FoS ing, especially when you consider she conveniently ignored Quadralien, who also FoS'd me at the same time. Not liking that one bit. Read is leaning Mafia.

Quadralien - the FoS on me after my claim was slightly odd, but can be put down to being new, and anyway removed it later. Slight worries of guilt by association - why would Jesskitten ignore that FoS but attack Orry's?? Neutral, with reservations.
The reason was threefold.
- One that Quad seems (at least on this site, and from his posts so far) new to the game, Orry isn't.
- Two is that Quad did it first, and Orry did it after as though piggybacking the FoS with another. It's like "Yeah, I tooootally agree with Quad, you are suspicious! But only suspicious enough to wag a finger at you (and please don't look back too hard on me as I'll hide beneath his FoS!)" kind of thing. Trying to look like scumhunting while playing the Appeasement card.
- Three, while that doesn't mean he can't be Mafia, as the points are semi-valid, even if they're weak early points, it was pressure voting, to provoke reactions both from him and others. Look at the wagon that's started on him because I sounded sincere (note, it WAS sincere at the point when I made the post in #62, because that was what had jumped out the most at me so far, but a lot of it is the tone of how you attack/pressure someone):

We have:
Quadrallen (#99)

QuadrAlien: (after considerable reading)...Hmm...

I've been reading Orryyrro's excuse for his choice of voting again - he states the following:

avatar
Orryyrro: I'd far rather my vote put pressure on a random vote than it to put pressure on someone who has already claimed.
avatar
QuadrAlien: So he doesn't care who his vote is for, just as long as he gains information from it... In other words, following my own attempts to think like the Mafia in my prior attempts at logic, Orryyrro could well be searching for our power roles and only using FoS on Rob because he's revealed he's not as important a target...

My logic has already been brought into question, but still - Vote Orryyrro.
I read that as town. Brings up a good point, gives his own view on another interpretation of the same quote.

ViolatorX: Wow missed a lot of posts

@robbeasy I see your arguement as a double edged sword really, I would class it as a very bold move to come out as a millar at the beginning of the game and can understand your reasoning for it, On the other hand its often a classic mafia move for a goon once they have the guily result turned onto them.

He could have easily bluffed that the cop was insane or paranoid(its neverland afterall) if investigated so he looks less guility that he came out with it so time will tell hes low in my list of suspects.

@Teleroth and (others who have the same theory) If he wanted to get himself killed as he was a jester,bomb etc Im sure he would have done a great job of getting himself killed like popinjay did in game 4

@quadralien,Jess - I actually dismissed orryyrros vote as just a mere rvs but he does look like he is using it as a cover up to snoop at other peoples identities which looks very shady indeed I noticed when he gave his list of suspicions on robb then he would have surely changed the vote if he was that confident. Im currently getting a town reading for both of you so I will unvote quadralien

@fexen im unsure as you havent posted enough but you have jumped right onto robb's case but again is fair enough given the situation but shady without any real reasoning and just the manner and timing in which you jumped in, the delay looked a bit like you were lurking.

@nazarush I'd like your opinion on matters you have been a bit quiet apart from the rvs at the start.

@Vitek I can see the potential in your reasoning that jess may have suspicious tendencies but would probably need to hear more to.

Anyone else really hasnt given me a read and a robb vote in day 1 wouldnt achieve anything and in my head so far I think the scum are fexen and orryyro

Vote orryyro
I find that a little scummy, (though not enough to vote.) because a lot of what is in this post is fence-sitting. He muses that you may be Mafia, but doesn't give any read on you other than that it's bold and a double-edged sword. And tries to throw the hypothetical future cop's sanity into question. Briefly references an ongoing game, of which it's a dead-end in terms of discussion (cause we're not allowed to discuss the details of ongoing games so we can't discuss the merits of that comparison very much). And he bandwagons our vote. But I don't think that's scummy in and of itself because he gives a reason why, and because he made the attempt to make a list of reads and lay out his town/neutral/scum reads.

But it could be bandwagoning, and is worth watching later.

Taleroth: I think your reasoning works. Therefore:

Since he has the most votes already.
THIS post is scummy as heck though, because we're 2 days or so into a 7 day deadline, and he (?) is voting not because of the reasons given that Orry is scummy, but because of time? That could be a new-player-tell though, but seriously, we're only just past 25% of the time we have to decide on a lynch. The longer discussion goes on (within reason, of course) the more information we get out in the open and the more chance Mafia has to slip up. Of course we shouldn't make it last until a few minutes before the deadline each time, but generally it's a Mafia thing to try to stifle discussion as soon as possible, and a Town thing to want to prolong discussion until things seem to die out, to get as much information out as possible.

Taleroth: Oh, please. Half the votes at this stage lack any real reason. Get over it.
And so is this. What Orry said, since his post also appeared while I was refreshing.

@Robb Also, this was a ??? moment up till his most recent post,
avatar
Robbeasy: Orryrro - Another interesting one. Has been popping around with his voting, but remember, as Town, its the only weapon we have! Getting info is always a good move. Leaning Town.
because actually he had not changed his vote at all from the RVS stage. It's very interesting you see him as town, because he attacked you in particular and only threw an FoS instead of voting. It's classic Mafia buddying, even though I don't see oyu as Mafia at the moment.

Time to look into this a bit more.

Unvote Orryyrro, vote Taleroth

@Taleroth What are your reads on everyone in the game, please?

Also, this jester talk needs to stop. It (assumedly, since fairly large game) wouldn't end the game even if the jester wins, and Mafia will love throwing that out for this entire game so there's WIFOM over EVERY lynch wagon.
I call bluff.

Unvote Orryyrro, vote Taleroth

My readings? Calling Millar is a really strange move.

And either I've rustled some feathers and made some scum nervous or you're all paranoid and won't get anywhere.

If I go out today, keep your eyes on Orryyrro and Quadralien. Read this however you will. But read tomorrow better.

Taleroth: I call bluff.

Unvote Orryyrro, vote Taleroth

Snip...
WTF???

This is a game that rewards patience.
If you want to push it along, there are ways to do that (But often you won't be thanked for it).
Voting for yourself is universally a bad idea.
