Well I won’t lie. Holy frick I’m a bit lost, even though I have some idea of what’s going on. So many role claims flying around, and no real way to confirm any of them. Who the crap do we lynch now? I’m not entirely sure.
-
Huh. Interesting. Fura
-
Huh, I apologize for that. You did indeed claim to me, I only saw Joes closing of the PM and never actually looked at it beyond that. However, the suspicion for your vote still stands; although I am less inclined to be suspicious of you now given the name of your role. Did you use your role for the purpose implied by it?
-
Ok look, your response and claim of a double life makes me less suspicious of you. If you were a spammer, doing that would be near suicide, and in general a very dangerous gambit. A fura lynch... now that I think about it, I did role name claim to him, and he never did so back, which is just rude TBH. And Elephant pointed out that Fura was around the entire time but kept their vote on Rae, just like I just said I would have done if I were evil. Therefore, per my own argument for not being evil, Fura seems a prime candidate for being evil.

AGHHHH this is LITERALLY my argument for why I voted on Guest! How in the heck was I supposed to know that Roadwalker had a more important role, just like you wouldn’t know that Roadwalker had a more important role and therefore making Devotary much less suspicious!? Your entire argument for that vote being evil is that I somehow knew his role. Which I didn’t. I didn’t vote on Roadwalker because both the benefit of the doubt and supposedly a low information lynch, which is exactly what you just pointed out. I voted on the suspicious person. What else do you want from me?! The exact same logic that makes me sound evil makes you sound evil too! I WONDER WHY???? Crazed frustrated laughter yes, you do have a couple valid points. However, I never said Alvrons tie making clears him. It’s just not suspicious either. It’s just... him. And I get being busy, I really do. It’s just... agh. Also, at the point I voted on Guest, the lynch was very much not set in stone. There were only 2 votes on him, and there were 12 hours left in the turn. It would have made much more sense for me to vote on someone else, like Rae, or anyone else who had a single vote on them in order to push momentum on a different lynch. As I mentioned earlier I probably would have never taken my vote off of Rae if I were evil, therefore lowering the momentum on Guest and Roadwalker. Unless it turns out Rae is evil, which would just mess with my head at this point. Then I never would have voted on her in the first place either. Look, I’ve been voted on and lynched for a lot of reasons, but for voting on a genuinely suspicious individual is a new one. I didn’t know either Guest or Roadwalker were Spammers, or their relative value to the spammer team. All I knew was that guest made an over the top suspicious vote (even going back and reading it, it just oozes suspicious), and I voted on him for it. Expecting me to somehow know that Roadwalker was more valuable and vote on him is an unrealistic expectation. And congratulations you have brought out the head pounding on wall levels of exasperation.

Alrighty then, I know this is going to look bad, but after a full reread of the thread I’m primarily suspicious of Seventh Saint . Fura, I’m less suspicious of right now because they sent me a PM and actually talked to me, I didn’t get any evil vibes. Note, I’m not voting on Saint for the fact that he’s voting on me. No, rather he’s been tunneling on me in a weird way. We’ve played together pretty closely before, and I’m pretty sure he’s aware of my play style. I’m not playing any differently than my normal dramatic self, and he’s suspicious of that? If it were a newer player, or someone I hadn’t played with as much as Fifth, I wouldn’t be counter voting like this. But the reasoning for his votes just make no sense to me, given our player history. Also, elephant pointed out that he was one of the ones who were the only one to vote on a person, so I went back and looked at his vote. Well, there wasn’t much there, because he never posted even after I addressed his concerns, much less after Guest posted their suspicious vote. The next time he posts is in reaction to the results of the lynch, and the fact that he points out me (again with the tunneling), Alvron (like, seriously. What else do you expect from Alvron. Him creating a tie is very NAI. It would be way more suspicious if Alvron DIDNT make a tie. Talk about suspicious.) and Devotary. The person who made a decisive vote on Roadwalker. I’m so confused by this honestly. Alvron and Devotary were on at the end of the turn, and I voted like 12 hours beforehand on the person who at that point (weekend one) was the only one we knew was Spammer. Devotary seems a prime candidate for a spammer to set up suspicious on for the next lynch, which may have well happened if the vigilante hadn’t killed Roadwalker. And Alvron... again, expressing suspicion on Alvron for creating a tie is truly ridiculous. If I had been on for the end of the turn, as soon as it became possible for there to be a tie, I would have just sat and waited for Alvron to create the inevitable tie. Oh, and one more thing. This is the least solid thing, but Fifth Scholars posts... feel flat to me? It just feels a bit off. That’s my gut talking with that part, it’s not why I’m voting on Fifth it’s just further compulsion for me to vote on Fifth. This might be specifically because as I addressed how he is ignoring my playstyle in favor of tunneling on me, which in general just kind of bothers me.

ok, sorry about the low quality of my last post, I only had 5 minutes to write that before a choir thing. Now it’s time to attempt the thing I am straight up the worst at: defending myself without sounding defensive, my personal kryptonite. My vote on Rae: I didn’t explain it well when I voted on Rae, but I did think I explained it well after. The idea of mayoring just ran past my suspicion filters and I became paranoid of the spammers using trolling to shield themselves from suspicion. And I was right about that, as I expressed on the weekend. I then retracted my vote when Rae proved she wasn’t just voting on Elandera for whatever reason. I’m also a trifle annoyed that Scholar isn’t aware of my tendency to be a bit dramatic right now. If you haven’t figured that that is part of my personality in general... well... then I’m at a bit of a loss. In fact, I would argue my being dramatic is more a sign of me being an eliminator than being a spammer. As a spammer, I tend to be more cautious about the tone of my posts. I don’t hold much emotion back as an eliminator/villager. Also, have I expressed how much I despise the terminology of this game? It’s so confusing. Anyway, the placement of my vote, is suspect, but if you look at my previous post, that was my first post after starting to look at the thread. I understand the placement of votes is important, but that was the very first time I had posted after Guest voted in such a suspicious way. I feel like my real world schedule and the true identities of the people the lynch was focusing on at that point kind of screwed me over a bit. After reading the thread, of course I voted on him! Especially as it made sense, as I said before, to give Roadwalker the benefit of the doubt in case there was a speechless role. Also, I have no idea if that was an insult or a compliment, Elephant. But thanks I guess?

Yikes, my vote does look a lot more suspicious with both Roadwalker and Guest being spammers. Not much I can say in my defense, other than I stand by what I said in that post- Guests one vote was super suspicious, and with so little information, I agreed with the idea that Roadwalker might have a role preventing him from talking. While he didn’t end up having such a role, there was no way I could have known that at the time. Also, just saying, if I were a spammer, I probably would have kept my vote on Rae. I tend to get pretty nervous about voting on fellow team mates at all, unless I have a distinct plan in mind. But if you’re suspicious of me, I understand, if I didn’t know I am an eliminator I would be suspicious of me too.

Tfw you said you were going to do analysis but then you take another freaking nap. I’ll get around to it in a bit lol
-
What the actual heck? For some reason I assumed that we would be having an intelligent discussion based on analysis, not a debate about SE religions. Unless one of your gods will tell us who the spammers are right now , I reject every single religions here. Now that I’m awake, I’M going to look over the day one vote and get all uptight over that.
-
Well crap. That's decidedly not good, even if Roadwalker did turn out to be an important spammer... I'd love to say more on the subject, but I really should be getting to bed. The important thing is this- there was indeed a situation where we were between Roadwalker and Guest, and Guest was the one who got lynched. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but that's definitely going to make me look at the day one lynch a lot closer.

Oh, yeah, that wasn’t what I was agreeing with Tiny about. I was agreeing about Roadwalker possibly having a role that prevented him from talking.
-
I’m confused. Why am I suspicious again? I didn’t get that out of your analysis.
-
I feel vindicated. I said last day that trolling would be used as a screen to prevent suspicion. And that’s EXACTLY WHAT GUEST WAS DOING.
-
Alrighty then, having read through the thread, I’m inclined to agree with Tiny. I get elephants argument for lynching inactives, but I’ve seen roles before that made it so talking in thread was difficult/restricted. And in a forum style game, roadwalker might have some sort of muted role or something. Anyway, Guest quite easily has the single most suspicious post so far. While it can be viewed as purposeful trolling... it’s just SO SUSPICIOUS. So yeah.

Um. im not sure I necessarily want that? -
Goodness, I take 4 hours to rest after I’m finally done with the school week and the thread blows up. I’ll have to take a bit of time to catch up; thankfully I still have a few hours before I head to bed so I should be able to do some thinking.
-
Huh. Fair enough. Rae . HOWEVER, I stand by my point that simply posting troll posts is not a valid form of activity, and I will be keeping an eye on individuals I believe are using that to screen themselves from suspicion.
-
Wasn’t a joke vote. I am genuinely concerned that the trolling will be used as a way to shield from scrutiny. Not that I haven’t been guilty of that myself with my clone shtick, but it is a viable strategy to simply troll the whole game to put up the appearance of activity. And that is sort of what I feel Rae has crossed the line for me. If you look at previous posts, the majority are either more church of orlok stuff, an unexplained vote on Elandera and a retraction from Elandera. I just... something feels off about it. At this point roadwalker being lynched seems to be the most likely outcome, but I’m not going to vote on Roadwalker, so I’m going to leave my vote where it is and keep an eye on Rae.
-
That’s true, by individualism I didn’t mean a lack of trust and working together, just the idea that each individual has something that they can contribute and having a mayor ignores that and only utilizes the skills of a single individual rather than all of the individuals in the village. Edit: that’s ironic coming from someone who justified stuffing a clone in a closet on the idea that clones have no identity beyond that of who they were cloned from. Edit: oh, you’re back are you. Edit: sorry I was busy releasing your email to a bunch of Nigerian princes.
-
Uh, the post I quoted setting off all the alarm bells in my head. I get it’s probably just a troll... but at the same time, it’s a troll about a very dangerous concept. Mayoring is dangerous, individualism in SE games tends to work out better. Plus I can totally see a player hiding behind trolling to disguise nefarious intentions.
