Suspicions cast? Going after members because they supported no lynch on day 1 is suspicious cast or trying too hard to get RC from townie/'s? Lynching/pressurizing members to support a no lynch is basically town play! Also, where did I defend Zhourb yesterday? I don't look particularly town, well, so am I right to say that someone else is starting to look town, if so who?
At least I'm going after people rather than sitting back and only coming in to defend myself. The no lynch theory is merely a starting point, and at the very least it's encouraged you and thedon to post more and let others decide whether there's anything concrete or not.
Pretty much every game I've narrowed my suspicions down to groups of players who have taken a stance that scum would take. Once others view it with a neutral view, quite often the mafia can be singled out.
Regarding defending Zhuorb..
Yeah. And, that's what I am suspicious of him. Maybe he's the SK? What you think people?
He's just pointing out a possibility. Don't feel it's a big deal.
Lynch : User
Of course he's playing. You will be the first to know if he isn't, that's suspicious...
You were quick to dismiss what was reasonable suspicion at the time, and followed it up with a lynch on User. From my perspective this looks like an attempt at taking the heat off Zhu before it goes too far. Not that I think Zhu is scum, but mafia will support townies in order to get them on side (like I did with you last game).
I know the post where you lynched User was responding to whether Abhas is playing or not, but that's irrelevant, you still put a lynch on someone right after they threw some suspicion out in a scumhunting attempt.
BKB, you've played several games with me and whereas I've been very defensive in the recent games I've played, you would remember I was very aggressive in the earlier games I played. I was usually questioned for being too aggressive and hence why I changed my gameplay but if that works in this game, no issues.
Sedition doesn't look town to me, for that matter no one does as of now but I never defended Zhourb and I defended User and made a valid point, on the last page. He and Colin started questioning User, me and thedon for placing a no lynch, I'd repeat again, I'm not against pressurizing players but their points need to be valid. Sedition is questioning our no lynch stance but what did he do on day 1? A quality player like him placed a lynch on Manly and I'm sure he was kidding as the reason he gave was "Manly makes a valid point". Apart from this, what did he do on day 1? BKB, I ask you, what is better, placing lynches like that or simply going for a no lynch?
I don't remember Colin saying anything about the no lynch. He has cast suspicion on thedon and User for other reasons, but nowhere did he mention you or the no lynch.
Now you're suddenly trying to analyse my Day 1 play after I question you
My lynch on Manly gave me more information than the people just straight up no-lynching and not doing anything. Even though he ignored it, it still tells me something. At the same time I cast suspicion on Abhas, which he responded to and therefore gave more information.
Obviously on Day 1 I'm not going to have anything concrete, and the information might not mean anything then and there, but it's clearly better than making zero effort like the no-lynchers did.
Removed irrelevant parts since this post is long-winded already
Honestly, I'm wondering whether this whole no lynch thing is just a way of making sure you lynch someone today, or actual suspicion.
I'm not desperate to get him specifically lynched, I'm desperate to get someone lynched and the only way we can do that is by putting pressure on people. Two days with no lynches on either day will be really poor for us, puts the mafia in a good position, even if it is a bigger game. We can't allow that obviously.
Funny that you accuse me of trying to make sure we lynch someone today, then go on to say you're desperate to get someone lynched. Just because I think it's ridiculous to vote no lynch, doesn't mean I think we have to lynch.
If I'm deterring people from voting no lynch, then good, but that doesn't mean they have to vote on something. My point is that if people are undecided, they should let the time expire and achieve the same result.
Other than all that, Ste's post about Smurf was a good find and the latter definitely has to pick up his game if he's gonna avoid further heat.
Regarding Varun, I can't draw a conclusion either way on the basis of him subbing out. A mafia role requires a lot of time since you're playing 2 games, whereas town you can cruise through for awhile and post naturally. For now though, BKB is giving me town vibes.
