I agree with your reasoning and my ongoing rivarly with Cal 😂

I don't really like "rivalries" by the way, not saying it's a scum thing, just that it allows scum to hide easier if two town members get into a shouting match.

I don't know for sure if CV is scum but I didn't like how he jumped on my Cal votes D1. He did get quiet for a long time after I made this post, and never responded to it.

And yes, claiming vanilla town when you're not under pressure is a terrible idea; I think most of us would agree there (except Podracer, who "liked" his post for some reason I'm not sure of).

**response**

I believe you are likely town, just slightly less likely then some of the others I was looking at. I won't vote for you anytime soon. No garentee I won't join a train if it forms though (which is unlikely)

CV said he was Vanilla 'now' didn't he implying he had a spent 1 shot ability or did I read that wrong?

I didn't read it that way, but I do now..

Both seem likely now I look at it in that context, if he spent a one shot dropping it like that is not a good idea... better to just keep quiet no?

He could and most likely is referencing his last game as Cop and now he's just plain town IMO

Of  the 11 that remain I have no preferences. Clearly Mad and Cal and GNIP are the most dangerous, both as town and  scum. The fact that none of them was first night kill is telling.  

Cal also indicated day one he had a claim, so there’s that. Perhaps we should vote him to make him claim?

Bertie is more Bertie than Jeeves, and therefore ok in my book.

Herowannabe is new, and seems to enjoy his flavour - which is nice.

CV is probably the one closest to being both expendable and scum at this point in my mind.

well, since GNIP mention quality over quantity about posting, might aswell obeserving the vets play and reviewing their traits when they analyse something. Sadly I got demoted to vanilla townie, so can’t contribute much else than observation and the daily votes.

"Demoted" seems to suggest he had a special role previously, but not this game. I assumed he was referring to his previous role as cop.

I'm starting to lean that way, but waiting from him to rear his head... I'd like some confirmation on his claim and way it came about plus his general day of joking around... fine D1 but suspect D2..

H3-R0 kept his head down and mopped away at a particularly stubborn grease stain. Suddenly his body when ridgid. It shook and whirred and the lights in his eye aperatures flashed as new data was downloaded into his droid brain. After a moment it stopped, and H3 continued scrubbing.

##role confirmed.


I’m going to hold off on voting for now. I’ve played Mafia before but I’m unfamiliar with some of the terminology. Specifically, what does “hammer” mean? From the context I’m guessing that once one player receives a certain number of votes (one more than half the remaining players?) then the cycle immediately ends?

also, are PMs between players or groups of players allowed?

Apologies, I had a 14 hour work day yesterday and by the time I was able to check the thread the cycle had already ended. Unfortunately today is shaping up to be the same. Possibly tomorrow too. After that things will settle down for me significantly and I’ll be much more active.

As it stands I was able to catch up on the thread up until the end of day 1. I’ll try to read the rest tonight and post my suspicions.

H3-R0 finally straightened up from cleaning T0-26’s charging cradle. Droids have a surprising amount of fluids in them, and they- plus the scorch marks- it took a long time to clean out of a charging cable.

H3 turned to his next task- identifying the defective droids. His central processor whirred, and H3’s visual field was overlayed with the following report:

SUSPICION LEVELS

1% = low probability of corruption

100% = guaranteed corrupted

50% = no reading one way or the other

@Madaghmire : 50%

@GhostofNobodyInParticular : 55% -

@Caldias : 65% - Bertie makes a pretty good case, and right now I’m leaning village on Bertie. Sort of.

@EbonHawk : 65% - Posts seem a little too clean to me. And as a janitor droid when I find something clean and I wasn’t the one that cleaned it, it makes me wonder what’s being covered up

@PodRacer : 55%

@clontroper5 : 60% - Posts also seem a little off to me

@Bertie Wooster : 35% - Expressed suspicion of Matt right before Matt was killed. Likely that Team Scum wanted to cast suspicion on him.

@Herowannabe : 1%

@Constantine Valdor : 55%

@Lord Preyer : 40%

@LTD : ???

So wait, is LTD confirmed good now? I took the GM’s narration as flavor and fluff- not as an actual confirmation of alignment, but everyone else is reading it as GM-confirmed. @The Jabbawookie Can you clarify whether or not your post was meant just as flavor or something more?

...

Well... okay. It looks like I was the only one who read that as fluff. Nevemind me then.

@LTD : 2%


Conclusion: Caldias and Ebon are my two biggest suspects at the moment for now I’m going to put my vote on Ebon, for sake of discussion, though I could still be persuaded to change that.

@The Jabbawookie Proposal: what if we lock down voting over thanksgiving / Black Friday but still leave the thread open for discussion? I was looking forward to being able to participate more during those days.

Self-diagnostics indicate that my systems are virus-free. However there is a small possibility that my self-diagnostic systems have been tampered with and are giving a false reading. Also, this takes into consideration the minuscule chance that in this great war of good vs evil that the Jedi are in fact the good guys and we represent the forces of evil, and that the saboteurs are justified in their actions. Utterly ridiculous, I know, but my logic circuits insist that I take into account the slight possibility.

Hence the 1% chance that I should be deactivated. ;)

While things wind down tonight, Here are Hero's posts starting with role confirm.

I would also like to know what he means when he says Ebon's posts are "too clean," I think Ebon pointed that out as strange before. He's pretty vague on clon too. He did ask Jabba a good question about LTD's status though.

Any thoughts? Hero said he'll be online tomorrow, so hopefully he'll clarify a bit.

##unvote

Bertie has shown intent to scum hunt even if I read it as scummy, whereas CV has just joked around, plus the claim, plus the cal vote thing at the start... I don't get why after the games he's played he'd need to ask about his vote disappearing at day start, I also question why someone who later claimed town would do that?

I still think bertie is ssuspect, especially as since I pushed him he's gone after both CV and Hero, could be because he sees possible scum there too, or could be shadowing me appease the pressure on him? he defiantly seems more eager than usual either way i'm watching him, but lets see how he does if I ease off a little overnight...

I'm off to bed now and as CV hasn't shown his head i'm going to

##vote @Constantine Valdor and get him in game for a response, but for me right now my Top 3 is still CV/bertie/hero guts telling me I've found a scum in there!

To be honest, I think I'm just getting bored of looking at just Caldias RN, I feel like I've already examined all his posts multiple times. Doesn't mean I won't go back to him, but for now I'm not voting anyone, for reasons already stated. We have until 48 hours from now (with a 24 hour pause in between) to vote, I think Caldias did make a fair point about not voting early.

Happy holidays, for those who are celebrating.

hello hello, I’m back alive again. So after reading d2 I’m leaning on Cal / Bertie / Clon axis (if there’re 3 scums) :

Clon rando vote someone d1 ( I think Matt)

Cal calls him out, vote Clon

Bertie calls Cal out, start a small train, but unvote at around L-4.

Now d2 Bertie shifts attention away from Cal.

I suspect some others, but no proof yet as of current state.

where is Mads though?

It was Matt who randomly voted for me D1, Cal called him out and voted Matt. Then I voted Cal because I thought Matt was making a townie mistake and Cal was pouncing on it. Matt died via NK D1.

CV if you think Cal is scum, could you explain your thoughts on that more fully, in your own words? I feel like me and GNIP have done most of the talking.

Also @Herowannabe I await your input.

20 hours ago, Bertie Wooster said:

One talking point that I'd like to bring up again, is whether Pod is acting normally or not. Caldias and Ebon say abnormal, GNIP and I say normal. (Ebon now says Pod could be scum or town, this just in as I'm typing this post.) What say the rest of you? @Madaghmire @clontroper5

@Constantine Valdor @Lord Preyer @LTD You all have played with him for a few games. What are your thoughts?

I didn't get much response on this, if any. What are your thoughts on Podracer this game?

Erm. . . I don't recall Bertie calling Cal out or starting the train. I called him out, and wasn't Bertie the second vote?
