It chaps my hide a little bit when a person at L-1 doesn't claim. I almost voted Jonty after he said he wouldn't be claiming because it was "joke" votes. Admittedly it was...but now I'm curious...what does he have to hide? I'm pretty sure there are no vanilla roles here, and Jonty would have protection no matter how super-awesome-unbeatablely-great he thought his role was...

Vote Jonty Let's see what he comes up with now...

I'm still fairly new myself, but from what I've seen Day 1 lynches are pretty common. Between scumslips, inactives and occasionally due to game rules there's usually someone who gets lynched on D1.

Hello guys, just jumping in just in case rishaed was about to prod me. Sorry for not posting for a while; I was planning to post after work yesterday, but when I came back home I passed out like a clubbed seal. Will post something more substantial shortly.

I agree there should preferably be a lynch on Day 1, but to lynch jonty "just because"? I don't agree with that. There should at least be something resembling a case. Take a look at S7C for instance:

--S7C was the second to vote for jonty. That was the first start of a wagon.

--S7C started the prodding case against me, kind of leading aage in the right direction. "Here he says it seemed he was seriously showing suspicion"

This Should be correct:
Vote Count:
S7C (1) - Gustaf Wasa
Jonty125 (4) - S7C, aage, Nebuchadnezer, NG1
Gustaf Wasa (1) - PCM

With 11 alive it takes 6 to lynch. Deadline is Jan 27th.
Mod Note: All days without a majority will end in a No Lynch.

Tough to say on jonty. I suppose that's believable, but by its nature it's wholly unverifiable. I also doubt its usefulness.

As for Gustaf's case on Clever, it's a bit tenuous. I think I need more convincing than that to follow that logic.

That would be so much fun to see in action. (Seems more efficient later in the game though.) Also reminds me of the No Handlebars song rishaed posted; you know, controlling the masses. Seems consistent with the theme.

Yes, but like I said, at least something resembling a case, which I don't see when it comes to jonty. To clarify my post above, S7C seems to be "fanning the flames" in both cases. When it comes to "Ya I usually hate no lynch day one it usually leaves us nowhere for day two" (on page 7), that is when there was talk about whether there would be a lynch. S7C's comment moves the discussion in the direction of having a lynch of just anyone, just to have a lynch on Day 1.

IF S7C would turn out to be Mafia, I would say he is a smooth criminal. Not leading the charge, but making sure there is a charge. Maybe I should have waited to bring this up, in order to see if it would happen again.

I dislike Gustaf's protective stance towards Jonty before the claim, and his attempt to immediately divert attention to an equally unastonishing case.

The quote after yours
wasn't responded to, which I took to mean "+1". If you think I have been led astray by S7C, please note Jonty wasn't mentioned in this quote at all.


--When that fizzled, S7C encouraged a lynch of jonty:

Some7hingCLEVER wrote:Ya I usually hate no lynch day one it usually leaves us nowhere for day two
Well, it is true. Even you would rather lynch S7C over these mostly baseless accusations than pass up the opportunity for a kill. Strange world, isn't it?

I could of course be wrong. But as a lynch candidate right now, Some7hingCLEVER looks like a better choice than jonty.

unvote

vote Some7hingCLEVER


I do wonder if you're choosing to attack S7C over me because you think you can gain more momentum over S7C... Maybe I'm just seeing things.

Jonty's ability doesn't sound extremely useful and I'd gladly lynch him, since vote control sounds extremely scummy.

so basically your voting me cause i voted for someone second and if thats the case why dont we vote for the guy who voted first? you're also voting for me because i brought something up on you which is true i did but it is not scummy at all and because of this i think you are fishing for things and making this a bigger deal than it is. and your third reason was that i like to lynch someone rather than a no lynch. if you misunderstood what i said about the no lynch then i understand but otherwise im confused.

And this is why I hate D1.

Still, we got a claim from jonty. Not sure if I quite believe it yet, but I can't really doubt it at this point either. Seems like both an overpowered and weak ability at the same time.

Guh...I'm in the camp of "meh, pretty useless role". It's basically a 1-shot daykill, which isn't bad, but could be really bad if it were a mafia role...or if Jonty got mad at someone and just wanted him gone. I tend to think he wouldn't do that, and given that he complied with the claim, I will unvote.

I'm not sure Some7hingCLEVER has been acting scummy, but if we want to get another claim out there, I could live with it...let me reread his posts...

I voted for Jonty because him and aage made some silly mistake that me and nedreal picked on. I didn't say it was actually scummy(I do say it is but it was a joke . I figure that was obvious as it was on the 4th page) I didn't expect a bandwagon in him.

And yes I'll be honest I would rather lynch someone than a no lynch. Look at what a no lynch get us

No lynch:
no one dies so we don't see a role and we don't get information
We move straight to the night and a town is killed
We get night actions (which won't be revealed on day 2)
And we end up on day 2 only knowing a town is killed

Lynch
Yes we lose someone but it could be town or mafia so we get a claim and some info on that including a scene
Go to the night and the doctor has some idea of who may be mafia depending on the lynch result
Night actions again
And we lose a town at night which is inevitable

Deadline is 48 hours, we have 1 claim, a fairly underpowered role, do we want to risk exposing something powerful? One claim will be OK in a 11 player game, for D1.

I still think we should lynch Jonty. No-lynching also does not work in our advantage at all numberwise.

Scum needs to equal or outnumber town to win, which means the fastest win for them is an even number.
This means that if there are eg. 2 scum and 5 town alive, a no-lynch means 2-4 which means one mislynch is lethal.
What we'd be doing by no-lynching is literally passing up an opportunity to make a lynch. I think that, objectively speaking, we need to give Town as many lynches as possible, and that means we have to keep an uneven amount of players.

This of course assumes there is a) barely investigative leads, b) no doc save and c) no second night kill (SK, vig). In case of the first two, great (although one doc save doesn't mean anything unless he claims), in case of the latter, sucks but that only means we have to lynch even more (and our objective chances of hitting non-town at this point are even higher).


Worth thinking about.
