They both placed a pressure vote purely based on Greymist asking for the ring.

kita missed me! <3
I've read quickly through the thread, and will probably go back and read through some of it again later.
Couple of things:
I see a lot of people assuming that the forces of evil will have no ability to transfer the ring. Personally, I think this is a silly assumption to make. There are at least two characters I can think of off the top of my head who flavour-wise would be able to transfer the ring: Lurtz and the Ringwraiths. Both were sent out by Saruman and Sauron respectively to retrieve the ring for their masters, so it makes sense that they can take the ring, and then transfer it. The best thing, would be to assume that some scum players can transfer the ring, and some can't, just like town. To assume that your opponents don't at least have the same potential powers as you seems arrogant and unsafe. (As shown by some of the possible plans revolving around the ring)
I'm a little out of it right now, so if I say anything weird or blatantly incorrect when talking about players, feel free to point it out. I know I did this reading through the thread, where in my head, I'd think someone was scummy-scum, but really I just forgot half of what they wrote or mixed them up with someone, or something equally silly.
Right now, I think it's safe to say that WBG is either Smeagol/Gollum or just trolling. He should be pressured for his thoughts, and if he's not forth-coming, should be ignored or vigilante-shot. Responding to him and encouraging him by giving him attention just detract from the thread by filling it with spam.
Also, on the topic of Gollum, I think that he's very likely third party. He'll probably work like an SK, able to make one kill a night, and wins when he kills the ring-bearer and receives the ring, removing himself and it from the game. This is what makes the most sense for me.
As well, if there's the potential for a role that could just steal the ring, who could that be (Besides maybe Gollum)? I haven't read the books since ~10 years ago, and haven't watched the movies for a while, either. One person who it could make sense for, is Boromir, however, as I remember him wanting to steal the ring. I'm just asking this, because people are worried about killing a possible Gollum because they think he's the only one who can steal the ring. (And like he'd work for us, either :p)
Right now, I don't like Drazerk's vote on WBG, because like I said, he's either trolling, or he's third-party with a posting restriction. So, that makes him a weak lynch target, and unless he starts contributing, a good vig target. Remember mafia can troll too, just look at Cosmic Horror.
I think heist actually makes a good point about navillus. There's a difference between making a vote for pressure, and making a vote for someone acting scummy. What he did, is say he made a vote for a specific reason, and later retracts it and says it's for pressure.
Last thing, there's been a lot of this:

##Vote Drazerk Claiming your role hours into the game is the single most suspicious thing anyone has done this game. Not only is this your very first post into the game, but you also start off with a very early vote. Let's place this in conjunction with your latest post. Show nested quote +On September 18 2011 02:11 Navillus wrote:Navillus, I feel as if you're pulling the noob card. This is your 6th game, you should know better than to claim day one. I looked through your older games and couldn't find any other instance where you opened the game with a claim, combined with the fact you decided to sound really angry with the random censored swears, makes me suspicious. Besides the random vote on Drazerk, who do you suspect right now? 6th game != learned anything in 1-5, esp. cause I died really quickly in some and wasn't paying that much attention to most of them so I couldn't really learn. Also you're either lying about looking through my games, or just didn't really try, cause last game I played I opened with basically the same line, a complaint about getting VT yet again (I think it was cosmic horror, if not it was 2 games ago in werewolves but I'm pretty sure it was cosmic horror.) As to my thoughts, I'm even more skeptical on Drazerk, I had figured that that first vote was pressure, and from what I know Dr. H is a very good vet player so I figured that's exactly what he was doing when he added his vote on, but Drazerk isn't as good as Dr. H, I could see him being scum and thinking that they could actually get a wagon going, then what made me more suspicious is that he completely ducks my vote and instead attacks me. 1. Your original claim for voting for Drazerk is that he had no justification. Yet now you admit that you knew exactly what DrH and Drazerk were trying to do: create pressure. But you feel the need to start your game off by voting for one of them. It's a safe and easy vote at the time but now there is clear contradiction between your reasoning then and your justifications now. 2. Your entire response to people (one of whom is Drazerk) calling you out on claiming so early is troubling to me. You claim over and over to be inexperienced and you start attacking those that called you out, namely Drazerk. 3. Furthermore, your reasoning for attacking Drazerk is a little troubling. So... if I understand correctly, DrH and Drazerk do the exact same thing, but one is a vet townie and one is scummy? Based purely on how you good you think they are? You also provide additional justification in saying he attacked you. He never attacked you, he called you out for claiming VT. I can believe you made a mistake, but your reactions so far to being challenged is one that I find highly suspicious.
Then why aren't you voting for me?
Also I numbered you're main paragraphs for clarity
Now to respond - Claiming was a mistake I've said that don't have much more to add, there wasn't any deep reason for it, just a bad decision.
1. I don't admit that I know exactly what both of them were doing, I both now and at the time believed that the original vote was pressure, I also believe that Dr. H's vote was also pressure because he adds a little and yes because he's supposedly very good, good enough to not as scum try to start a bandwagon with the second vote of the game. I don't though believe that Drazerk's vote was necessarily also pressure, he just quoted someone else and dropped his vote there, adding basically nothing.
2. I'm not attacking him for calling me out, I was attacking him before he called me out and my problem isn't that he called me out, it's that he called me out in place of actually answering my accusation
3. Yes the fact that one is a vet did factor into my thoughts, but also as I said Dr. H didn't just quote chaoser and go on his way, Drazerk did. And again, it's not that he attacked me or called me out that's suspicious it's that he ignored the original accusation and attacked, or called out, or whatevered me instead, that serves to both divert attention from him and to attempt to discredit his accuser without actually responding.

Yeah?
I never said it's spammy/non-contributory, so I'm not contradicting myself.
I'm talking about the people who say that, and then contradict themselves right away. If you don't want to talk about set-up, say so and give reasons why. Don't say we shouldn't talk about set-up, and then talk about set-up. It honestly looks scummy to me, because you get to cast suspicion on every other player talking about set-up, while looking like you're contributing by... talking about set-up.

I suppose we've decided to defer discussion on the ring until later in the game. That's fine, but I would like to point attention to someone who did catch my eye:
On September 18 2011 02:24 iGrok wrote: Greymist's thing is not something to lynch for, but it is something to remember in the future. But he is someone to keep an eye on. I think whoever said WBG is probably gollum with a post restriction is right. But Drazerk has my biggest suspicions today, and lynching him will also give us the most information so far, both about greymist and the others who jumped on him. So, ##Vote Drazerk
This is iGrok's only contribution to the thread at the moment. Having played with iGrok in one game before, he was much more active at the beginning of the game and tried to reason his votes better than this (he was godfather though haha). Nevertheless, I would love to hear more from you, iGrok about your thoughts about what is going on. Currently, he seems to be slipping by relatively unnoticed.

He was just concerned about his forest or whatever The only neutral figures I can think of (I havnt watched/read LoTR in a long time) are possibly Golom/Smeagal or the Ents. I feel our best course of action day one has got to be to have whoever is in possession of the One Ring to come out of hiding and give it to me. I'll take good care of it.

This will encourage all scum to all vote for the person who is most likely to get lynched, so scum will have a bigger chance of procuring the ring. This makes it twice as important to have at least two candidates with as many votes as each other. So you mean we should get 2 targets and let scum decide who gets the lynch? Sounds like a plan These kind of posts are exactly what we can't allow to just slide by. You are just posting aggressive little one-liners that aren't exactly contributing much to town discussion. If you disagree with someone, I would ask that you flesh out your ideas more and provide your thoughts on specific players. As a side note, the reason we want at least two majority candidates is it forces everyone to make a choice. If we have just one easy target everyone votes for, we will gain absolutely no information based on the lynch since everyone voted the same. Being forced to choose creates liability and patterns will start to emerge that can be worked with. If the situation is 1 townie and 1 scum on the chopping block, and the mafia try to swing majority votes for the townie, that's a lot of information that we can use.
While having 2 lynch candidates as opposed to one is obviously a good thing, the bolded portion is almost the definition of WIFOM. Analysis on that level requires to many assumptions and "what ifs" to be effective.
I took chaoser's advice and looked at prplhz's posts this game. Unfortunatly i couldnt come up with much more than chaoser already mentioned. Take a look at his filter though. Notice how all his posts are typically very neutral/don't contribute much. Especially note how, around the time i was accumulating votes, he gently nudges people's attention towards me, and yet doesn't vote, even when others have. after his very brief post regarding me, he goes back to talking about other things. It seems to me that he was setting himself up to join my bandwagon should it continue to form as the day progressed. All of his posts definatly give off the feel of a mafia player trying to appear usefull, yet flying under the radar. and for that:
##Vote prplhz
prplhz, Do you have any suspicions/thoughts you would like to share?
|
It's generally agreed that a 50/50 bandwagon is pretty much the ideal situation for mafia. Actually when the town all agrees on one player that is the scummiest and tunnels them leaving no wiggle room, that is the worst scenario for mafia because assuming town was correct they have no way out of it.
Vain is definitely being antagonistic and the fact that he slipped under the radar for such bad posting isn't a good sign.
People seem to be complaining that we're still talking about Gollum or the ring or whatever but most of the discussion on the last few pages is about a lynch so stop complaining. I'm keeping my vote on WBG until I make up my mind. Vain, Drazerk, prplhz are all people I'm looking at.

##Vote Greymist
I don't think our mod would hand the ring off to an evil player day 1. It's probably with a Frodo , Bilbo, or Gollum if we have any of those roles. So we know Greymist either has a protown power that is greatly amplified by the one ring, or is part of a neutral/evil faction that needs the ring for some reason.
And Chaoser is right. We can't spend this whole game talking about roles. Scumhunting is #1.
These are foolish reasons to be voting for a player. It's far more often townies who make posts like that than it is mafia. You both know better than that.

Hey genius, guess what, I'm not scum just because I have a posting restriction. I voted TranceStorm because he had a terrible anti-town plan (which was super obvious when reading his posts) but your vote reason on me is even worse than mine.
I figured people would pick up on my bad vote, which would lead to worse votes on me. This guy here is trying to get town cred by saying he pointed out the "ring rubbish" before Chaoser, then admitting he jumped on the greymist bandwagon, then finally saying I'm suddenly leaning more scum when I haven't posted anything (due to being asleep). His vote on me is almost entirely based on the fact that I have a posting restriction.
##unvote ##vote Drazerk.
I also want to call attention to heist's post, he was accusatory of Navillus having done "the most scummy thing" in the game so far yet he didn't even vote him.

The discussion regarding the ring and its mechanics is fucking useless speculation? There I said it. The only thing I saw comment worthy was Bug's request for the ring. He has since claimed to be Sauron and Gollem. But you guys want to keep speculating on the mechanics of the ring. So comment on something else. There are enough posts by this point that you can generate some productive discussion by scumhunting and analyzing. We've got at least ten pages of constant posting, so go through that and find some scum instead of complaining when you are rightfully called out for not contributing. Read what I just posted. Or do you require me to say: WTF IS UP WITH BUGS??????? Discuss. Already discussed it. VI or Jester. Agree? Disagree. There's no need to be so blatant as a VI. Perhaps he just wants the ring.... either way though, he's shown himself to be active and contributory in his past few games. Either he picks it up or he doesn't, but we're not lynching based on him spamming about the ring. + Show Spoiler +On September 17 2011 08:56 chaoser wrote:Let's get this game started! As always, some general advice: Show nested quote +1) Town should stay focused. A few talking points should dominate a day cycle but never so many that it's basically everyone posting suspicions on everyone else, leading to "post-by-post analysis" of 5+ people. A disorganized town is a plus for the mafia.
2) Don't rely on power roles. Assume we have none and go from there.
3) Personally I like a bit of civility but I do understand some people like to be aggressive and it has it's uses. But let's keep the atmosphere positive instead of negative. Negative atmosphere will be detrimental to town play and at the end of the day that isn't good. Point 3 in particular should be on everyone's mind. Palmer really messed town up in the previous game by basically making Day 2 a huge mess with over-aggression and spam. And then basically the only reason mafia was lynched in that game was due to blue power, breaking point 2. Let's NOT bank on blues to win the game this time. Also, ##vote: Greymistasking for the ring outright? tsk tsk. My steel and iron comes for you.

##Vote Greymist
I don't think our mod would hand the ring off to an evil player day 1. It's probably with a Frodo , Bilbo, or Gollum if we have any of those roles. So we know Greymist either has a protown power that is greatly amplified by the one ring, or is part of a neutral/evil faction that needs the ring for some reason.
And Chaoser is right. We can't spend this whole game talking about roles. Scumhunting is #1. These are foolish reasons to be voting for a player. It's far more often townies who make posts like that than it is mafia. You both know better than that. I don't understand the hostility for Trancestorm.
You've been stalking me!

I'm not useless.
I'm more use than half the town has been so far. Started discussion, no? Can't be a bad thing.

As for me jumping on the gray bandwagon I actually pointed out the ring rubbish before Choaser but I am currently leaning on WBG being the more likely scum member now.
Ill be gone for the next couple of hours so sorry about any sort of inactivity.
THIS GUY IS SCUM.
He thinks, "wherebugsgo has a posting restriction"=he must be scum.
Hey genius, guess what, I'm not scum just because I have a posting restriction. I voted TranceStorm because he had a terrible anti-town plan (which was super obvious when reading his posts) but your vote reason on me is even worse than mine.
I figured people would pick up on my bad vote, which would lead to worse votes on me. This guy here is trying to get town cred by saying he pointed out the "ring rubbish" before Chaoser, then admitting he jumped on the greymist bandwagon, then finally saying I'm suddenly leaning more scum when I haven't posted anything (due to being asleep). His vote on me is almost entirely based on the fact that I have a posting restriction.
##unvote ##vote Drazerk.
I also want to call attention to heist's post, he was accusatory of Navillus having done "the most scummy thing" in the game so far yet he didn't even vote him.

I think whoever said WBG is probably gollum with a post restriction is right. But Drazerk has my biggest suspicions today, and lynching him will also give us the most information so far, both about greymist and the others who jumped on him. So, ##Vote Drazerk
What suspicions are those? Not to mention how bout we lynch to kill scum, instead of lynching to figure out information.[/QUOTE]
I'm all for lynching scum, but I highly doubt we hit scum today. There's no good candidates yet.
That being said, upon rereading I have no idea why I was suspicious of Drazerk. Chalk that up to an awful hangover. I'll try to work up something better soon

WBG, no that is not an obvious question. What is your win con? Just obtaining the ring? What happens if you get it? The only reason for us to keep you alive is if you are going to keep scum hunting and your win con isn't incompatible with ours.
|
The game does not end when you give me the ring. But yes, I must obtain it.
|
What happens to you and the ring?
|
I don't know either of those things.

Drazerk never said that you're scum because you have posting restrictions. You aren't making any sense and now that you're getting "pressure" to scumhunt you're showing the worst case of scumhunting I've ever seen.
"TranceStorm is scum TranceStorm is scum Trancestorm is scum" is not scumhunting. Neither are OMGUS votes based on bad misunderstandings of what another player is saying.
You said your first vote/reasons were bad. Yet in that same post you say " I already found you scum, look at TranceStorm." That's some big confidence for a "bad" vote. Cut the bullshit. It's obvious that what ever you are, you're not here to help us.
Honestly on Day 1 I'd be more content lynching a pretty sure SK/Third Party player than some gut scum read that is probably wrong and end up killing some VT or power role that is actually helping us. As far as your posting all you are is an annoyance and a distraction.

My vote is on prplhz, at least now. Let's c if anything new comes up before day ends.

Are you fucking kidding?
Drazerk didn't say anything about me being scum other than "leaning" scum on me. In the same post he says there are "definitely posting restrictions" when participating in a conversation about me talking about the ring in posts I make.
Drazerk is scummy. I also think TranceStorm is scummy, I don't think my vote reason was bad, I just didn't explicitly state my vote reason. I wanted it to appear "bad" to promote discussion (which I did, no?)

Ok you have discussion, now why should we lynch him?
