Yeah, I don't really see Eevee's response as scummy. I think anyone gets a little frustrated when RVS starts to single them out.  Plus it would be unlikely (though awesome) for RVS to find scum anyway (unless theres like a lot scum here or something; I don't trust these mods so for all I know there's 17 of them).

2752
I see some people actually sort of agree with me that ashersky has been giving a scummy vibe. I won't vote for O today, because I don't think mafia would be bold enough to lurk until at L-1 and then come with all guns blazing at Robz like he did. Seems like O trying to make most of VT to me.

But see, we don't know for sure that O would have done this. He claims he was going to do this. I'm sure he's lying; he almost certainly did NOT plan to do this, regardless of his role. Now, whether the comment was more of a jest that anything incriminating is quite possible.

I would agree with this. Even when he said he was going to do that, he gave no condition under which he would have done so. He just seemed to change his mind and stop lurking because we were taking too long to put someone at L-1, which is ridiculous given when this occurred.

Recent quotes from Eevee:

FoS does nothing. Just a way to show you suspect someone without actually casting a vote. I personally dont think it's very effective, votes build pressure which is good, fos is just too mild.

And then:

I have played like this in every game, super careful of throwing my vote early. That will stop now, I see how very anti-town behavior it is. It's really quite shocking how much more information the flip will give on any of the active voters compared to guys like me who just state what they feel but never back it up with a vote.

This is the part where I'd show my new ways and vote for someone, but that someone would be Robz and that would be the hammer. And let it be said: I would do that if I didn't want us to continue talking still.

Robz: My gut indeed says you are probably town, but mafia VII really was a sick learning experience of me. My gut sucks. And the fact is, O has a real case on you. While I certainly don't agree with his confidence in it, the cold truth is your flip would be super informational for town. If you read the first half of my summary, you surely noticed how much it would tell us. And there is the fact the worse case is that you are a vanilla townie. And the fact that O, a smart guy, is sure you are town (and I don't think he would drive it that hard as scum, although I admit it's possible).

So.. I'm sorry buddy, I think I got to go against my gut here. Especially because I don't have any scum reads on anyone yet. I'm hoping to get them from your flip!

So if you are town, this really sucks for you personally.. but gotham needs this from you.

Next:


Still, it seems better than going for a new target completely, possibly outing our power roles in the process. Although you do have me almost convinced of your innocence..  :-\ Surely you must understand why I'd rather lynch for logical reasons than listen to my gut at this point?

And finally:

Btw Robz, as I think it's quite possible you are town, I think you should absolutely at least share all your reads before you die. It's very unfortunate we are in this situation, but I just see no reasonable way out. I dont think it's morgrim at least. Actually..
Vote: ashersky, bring chaos to the world. I think ashersky is more likely than robz to be scum, but I'm still not sure if Robz is just the better lynch for us.

And I do realize I'm taking a pretty big role here by even suggesting another wagon, but I got to get this off my mind.


Eevee claims FOS is ineffective, and people should be voting. Eevee then claims that his style is always to be super careful and not throw his vote in early. Eevee then says such cautious behavior will stop now, and backs it up by not voting in that post, and putting a FOS on Robz without hammering. Eevee says his gut is that Robz is town, but has to go against his gut, but again, does nothing.

Next Eevee warns against a new target in the name of town unity, and follows this up by breaking his indecisiveness and finally voting... for ashersky. Who is "more likely than robz to be scum," despite having said nothing of the sort in either of the two novels he posted yesterday.

Can someone help me out with the count of how many times he has contradicted himself here? I've lost track. Eevee's long analysis has been helpful, but honestly, to me all of this looks truly terrible for Eevee. He seems too smart to not realize that he's being egregiously inconsistent, so maybe it's on purpose. Does he want us to pull the suspicion onto him to protect Robz? Of course he said he would be voting Robz if it wouldn't be the hammer, but talk is cheap. I know it's hard enough to find one scum on D1, but I think an Eevee/Robz duo is not out of the question.

Can someone please hammer so we can get some real information before the mafia have chance to screw with us more?

2754
I kind of want to lynch Cuzz, just Cuzz.  (Pun made cuzz I can)

And on my birthday no less! That's pretty scummy.

2755
Man the Robz suspicion is already well underway. Impressive. I agree with cayvie though. Let's all just try to have a good time. Based on the game description though, I feel like we're all going to hate each other and the mods by the end of this.

2756
Moving on though, I like that you've brought up everything you find slightly suspicious. (Though this could be a good mafia play to generally raise suspicions on everyone for small behaviours.) Does anyone (Cuzz in particular) else have anything to say in response to Eevee's post?

Why me in particular? In any case, I was planning on addressing the comments Eevee made about me.

Cuzz's answer to my survey:
Hmm, I feel like answering all of your questions would be a major FMFP. However:
3. Nice try. My role PM did seem to contain an unnecessary amount of gender confusion though.

4. Again nice try. I've been hurt too many times before.
What does FMFP stand for? I called him out for dodging the question, he laughed it off and never really answered it. Which is maybe slightly scummy.

Haha, FMFP stood for forum mafia faux pas, ie what I was concerned about making a lot of in my first game. It's gonna catch on, just watch. I perhaps wrongly interpreted your whole survey as simply screwing around with the new folks (the third question in particular), hence the joking around. I was also nervous about saying much of anything at the beginning (and no, not for any scummy reason), before I got a feel for the game, and then I think I just forgot to go back and answer sincerely. Your question was who would send in the order for a NK if we were a scum team? I guess I'd say whomever has had less suspicion on them in case we have a Jailkeeper in this game, though neither of us has had any serious accusations so far.

This is somewhat interesting because I was later called out on flying under the radar or whatever the wording was. I'll remember to check who said that and what ashersky thought of it when I get that far. (Note: in the next post Cuzz also asks if Eevee talking too much and maybe suspicious because of that.)

As for this, I basically agree with what ashersky has just said:

On you being memorable and then under the radar (that was me that said it), it's possible to be both.  I really shouldn't have said "under the radar," since it sounds like I meant lurking, but it really meant saying things that kept us from thinking about you in any meaningful way, but instead kept us thinking about others (much like this incredibly long post that says zip about yourself).  So not really "under the radar" so much as wearing an invisibility cloak...or something.  And it seems like a great way to keep from being outed as scum, you know, to keep everyone else occupied with thinking about everyone else.

though I don't think this is quite as sinister as he claims. I just mean I agree with the explanation for what people meant when they called you "under the radar."

When I asked if you were talking too much earlier, I was mostly kidding, but trying to get a general idea from others as to how I should interpret everyone's behavior.


Hey guys, let's ease up on the RVS votes for me a bit here. Wouldn't want to accidentally lynch me already. It only takes 5 votes, people.

Yeah, this line plus everything O said has made me suspicious (the last point was especially convincing).

I'm for building the Vote: Robz888 bandwagon back up.
Cuzz jumps on the wagon too. He puts Robz at L-1, but claims he didn't notice ashersky's vote before posting. Ashersky posted exactly 5 minutes before him, so it's certainly possible Cuzz is lying about that. If robz flips scum, there is no way in hell Cuzz is scum too.

... except that Cuzz unvotes when Robz tells him there is a morgrim on the loose. So Cuzz probably wasnt lying about not seeing ashersky's post, and legitimately did not want to put robz in L-1.

The thing about not seeing ashersky's post is true. I was actually shocked when I saw it, because I anticipated I might get a warning from the forum as I posted, and that didn't happen. I must have screwed up somehow. I did want to put more pressure on Robz, but would not have intentionally put him at L-1. I admit I was a bit hesitant to unvote, because I do think there's a good chance Robz is scum, but I then decided to slow things down.

2757
I really don't think this is the place to be discussing Dominion.

2758
confirmed

2759
Talk is good, but eventually we do have to put some votes in. Right now I feel comfortable voting and I Vote: Robz again (votes => pressure => good, right Eevee?).

O has listed some good reasons. A few more:

Robz basically behaved almost exactly as Morgrim did with his "the looks on your faces" comment. Not a self-vote exactly, but still. Robz demanded a policy lynch on Morgrim for similar behavior.

He suggested lynching based on experience. I just have a hard time imagining a townie really supporting this idea.

Both his accusations and defensive statements seem way over the top to me. More subjective, sure, but still. I'm just getting a real scummy vibe.

Pile the votes on or don't, either way I just want to get some serious discussion going on this. Otherwise we'll be in the exact same place at the deadline.

2760
I hope I do get lynched. The expression on your faces will be well worth it.

Arite, this is some anti-town stuff right here.

2761
I think O's case against Robz seems plausible, so I'd put Robz as slightly scummier than your average 2/9ths. OTOH I think that the single-mindedness with which O is pursuing Robz shows a certainty that I don't think any townie could have. Only scum know exactly who the scum are... So that puts O as slightly scummy in my books as well.

If I'm scum bussing scum (protip: I'm not) then shut up and take your free scumkill in Robz.

If I'm scum tunneling this hard on a townie.. well that's rather terrible scum play.

Why would that be such a terrible play? Certainly scum want townies to get lynched, right? Do you just mean that this would be such an obvious scum move that only a great fool would play as such?

I feel like the problem with a lot of these arguments is that everyone knows how the game works, and everyone can lie. Scum or not, everyone's motivation at the moment is not to get lynched. So everyone tries to argue that they're not scum. If it's a bogus argument, well that's suspicious. If it's a convincing argument, maybe it'll make people believe you, but then aha, that's exactly the kind of argument scum would want to make at this stage of the game, so that's also suspicious.

2762
You, too, Morgrim. I want you to get in here and be accountable for your shit. Town does not wan to kill town. If you are town, you voted for town (yourself). Why would you do this? Why do you want to hurt the town? (same with claiming VT)

I'm sick of letting anti-town behavior run amok.

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Sorry. Humor is anti-town.

2763
Oh yeah. With all the content I forgot that my vote was still on O. It's fulfilled its sole purpose (getting him to post), so unvote

It didn't rather. All of your refusals to put anyone to L-1 without me forced me to post.

How quickly are we normally supposed to push someone to L-1?

2764
Ok fine. Unvote. We've got a lot of time to think this through.

2765
Hey, so I don't think I got a warning about ashersky's post before mine went through. Oh well. So Robz is at L-1, right?

2766

2767
This sounds a little nuts, but I'll get in on it.

2768
But more constructively, yes, I'd tend to agree.

2769
fgmmm...grrr...hmph...confirm...grmhh... >:(

Robz, what would have been your least favorite role to receive in this game?

Easy. Vanilla Townie. You?
grmph....grrr... *frown*

if you make a wagon on me I will selfhammer and turn up VT. BTW, I am a VT. >:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:(

Just mad 'cause this is the millionth game where I have been a VT.  >:( >:(

Does being this obviously mad about being VT seem sort of scummy to anyone else? I realize "Morgrim is Morgrim. blah blah," but I don't know, this strikes me as odd. Robz says he hasn't ever been mafia when he flips, but he's just as likely to be as anyone else... Seems like we're overdue for a scum Morgrim (I realized that this is not how probability works).
FOS: Morgrim

Everything any of you people say seems scummy to me. I don't know what to think anymore.

2770
Just to get your attention, it's not a vote unless it's in the correct form (Vote: Eevee for example).

Viewing the thread in print mode and searching for the isotropic nickname of the desired person will show you all the posts he has made in this thread.

Did you just technically vote for yourself? What's the strategy here?

2771
What's the deal with the quicktopic thing? Are active players allowed to look at what people are saying there?
No. Sorry I should have specified. Only spectators and dead players are allowed.in fact I should not have put it up. Sorry I will need to make another one that people can pm me asking for

Ok. Full disclosure: I did see the first 3 posts on there. Maybe the mods should let everyone see? Not sure if it really matters though.

Fair enough.  Unvote.

Any reasoning as to why it shouldn't be you, though?

Because I'm not scum.

Also, all things being equal, we're probably better off lynching a noob. Look what happened in MVII (what happened was the 3 most experience players died Day 1, Night 1, Day 2... and scum cruised to an easy win).

Aren't we actually better off lynching Mafia? Do we really want to kill off town numbers just to get the people who don't really know what they're doing out of the game?

Of course we're better off lynching mafia. Is that actually a question?

Not a sincere one, no. I just mean, why should we have any motivation in our decision whatsoever other than trying to root out who is actually scum?
