To those who say I'm trying to lead the town, I would disagree with that. I have repeatedly said that anything I post in this thread is based on my read of the game. It's an opinion I have of the other players based on their posts in the thread, and certainly nothing personal against any of the players, that would be a ridiculous way to play the game and lead to a quick loss. Everyone has the chance to read my posts, consider what I say, and then read everyone else's posts. Indeed, this is what people are doing. Some of them have read what I say and agreed with it. Others have disagreed and voted for me because of it.
I apologise if my way of playing is getting some people's backs up. I play mafia to win, naturally. I want my opinion to be out there because I believe it is right, but also because that's how people have information to work from.
<snip>
Reading through the thread, the first 3 1/2 pages are full of nothing. Here's some rough analysis based on what's happened so far:
Psymonkee - Nothing posted of value so far, simply stating events which have happened in the game. Fewest posts so far. - Not currently voting
Shorttricky - Few posts, has a couple of 'niggles' but no detail. - Not currently voting
Pudney - Talks about needing people to participate and how important voting is, but doesn't do either of these things. Looking pretty suspicious. - Not currently voting
K1LLSW1TCH - Works nightshifts I assume, so only active over night. Not much content posted. - Not currently voting
Kaiowas - Seems to be pretty townish so far. - Voting for Psymonkee
Fortyseven - Maybe it's best to lynch him before he can confuse us? Seriously though, vote for pookie with little reasoning. Not too much of value posted. - Voting for Pookie Bear
Shamikebab - Very confrontational early on, possibly jumping onto the chris bandwagon, dismissive of attempts to learn anything. Later posts seem more townie, but I'm not convinced - Voting for Chriscubed.
Pookie - Wants to vote for me, clearly scum!
Not getting much of a read, leaning slightly towards town, made some analysis posts. - Voting for Chriscubed.
Chriscubed - On the fence again. Taken a bit of an 'I did my research I know what's going on' path, but his posts seem pretty analytical and sensible, bar his first vote. - Voting for Pookie Bear
Brabbinho - Lots of posts, absolutely zero content. Currently top of my scum list. - Voting for Christcubed
Leprechaun312 - Seems to have a good head on his shoulders, sensible posting bar one of his earlier posts. Leaning town - Voting for Chriscubed
Egon - Understands the game, making good posts throughout, pretty certain he's a townie. Voting for Chriscubed.
##Unvote
##Vote Brabbinho
Will see how things go tomorrow and will likely have to switch my vote to ensure that there is a kill made, but Brabbinho seems to be making lots of noise but no real sound.
There's my first read post in the thread, since then there have been 12 pages of content and arguments. Here's my attempt to summarise from that (Ordered from fewest to most posts).
Psymonkee - apparently dead, going to be replaced.
Shorttricky - Doesn't like leprechaun or pookie. Has been focusing on the two of them throughout.
Pudney - Trying to ignore the large argument and look elsewhere. Pretty confident town.
K1LLSW1TCH - Jumped to Shami's defense fairly early questioning why when people were explaining their reasoning. People just seem to find him guilty looking. Votes for me after I post a large post detailing my analysis of the game to date, claiming it is a witch hunt. Questionable reasoning.
Pooke - Agreeing with Shamikebab early on, took a dislike to chris. Little unsure if a scum would be so obvious to back up another player I view as scum. Same could be said for people agreeing with me though.
Kaiowas - Been posting pretty constantly pro-town, everyone seems to agree with this.
Brabbinho - Very quiet early on before voting for chris on day 1. Day 2 has been quiet before coming in and agreeing with Shami and votes for me because I have votes on me. Possible scum reaction to me calling him out on day 1?
Chruscubed - Playing fairly similarly to me. He's read the wiki, don'tchaknow. Slim chance may be scum and may be riding my coattails because I'm targeting townies.
Egon - Generally agree with his reads on the situations going on.
Leprechaun - Did seem to defend Pookie fairly early on. Finally changed his vote to fortyseven as a result of my vote because he would not be present. Possible scum knowing I would urge him to vote because I had been saying we need people to vote, using it as a chance to hide his bandwagon vote. Was then backing me up fairly early on. Somewhat curious leaps of logic. Slip about NKing, but most likely just bad terminology knowledge
Shamikebab - Dislike to Chriscubed early on for being loud when he had 5 votes against him. There is no night kill and he comes straight out of the gate saying he thought night was 48 hours not 24. It's like he's trying to appear scum. Didn't realise he was the killing vote.
To be honest, I don't think much can be read into the death of fortyseven. The majority of people who voted for him were in a situation of 'well, a lunch is better than no lynch' so switched votes to him to get a lynch done so we got at least some info. How many people this applies to, and if any of them were scum is unfortunately a question we won't be able to answer because of how the voting went down.
Regarding tonight, we are going to need a consensus. And reading through the thread so far, that is going to be pretty tricky. With 12 people we need 7 votes on one target. As things currently stand, I am still in disagreement with Shamikebab and his reasoning, but I can also see that everyone else remains unconvinced, meaning 7 votes will be hard to reach, so looking elsewhere at the field, I would be next most suspicious of Brabbinho and K1llsw1tch.
But they all voted for you, isn't that a convenient coincidence.
I hear you cry!
Brabbinho my view hasn't changed much with his posts today, and I had voted for him in the previous day as being scum, he's second on my scum list. K1llsw1tch seems more like he's jumping on a bandwagon than anyone else, especially with his big 'I'm going to wait to see what Iviv says' before just voting for me with no backup once I do, putting him third.
If Shami is not getting lynched, I would change my vote to preferably Brabbinho, if not then K1llsw1tch.
You three are just echoing each other without anything more convincing than a negative feeling and a distraction. Frankly, that's a pathetic line of reasoning if there is so much information around.
