Rodion's actions were not good for town. I stick by that. Not every case is worth bringing up (I.e. safari's joke vote case) and you should never fake claim bomb as town. Not only for the implications mentioned yesterday but because Rodion has lost credibility in claiming bomb in future games.
Anyways, I have a couple suspects but I will need to reread what they've said to pull together any cases.

mostly about rodion as we were all dying to know what he really was during a whole month. About swifte we can't say much more for now I admit, but no one else has nothing to say about the rodion case, it has nothing to do with jimfinn's investigation:?:
Strike, I do think we've learned things with rodion's fakeclaim. people wanting to hammer or not IS interesting. The day 2 became much longer, but I don't really see how rodion's action were a big prejudice to the town. Only because it COULD have turned bad, but it didn't. What was a bad idea was to gang up on him in the first place for the case he brought up, that was kind of a simple question with a twist, but became a mountain. You seem to put all the blame on him for his own death because he dared to make a case on you.
Leitz wrote:Alright, so night 1 took a townie out. Most of us were convincend BG was talking the truth, as turned out to be. Despite all the action, nothing big was revealed accept that the doc claim didn't ensure a doc kill. Good news for town!
As far as Day 2 has been going on, I've been keeping a close eye on all posts and FOS/votes. So far I'm retaining my vote until a bigger case (the trini/chap case seems a bit overkill to me) will come up. It is still early and there is no real deadline so I'll be waiting to see how everybody reacts on the FOS/votes.
Leitz wrote:Jimfinn finally showed some sign of life, but ignored all of the FOS towards him and then just left. Unless he starts defending his case:
Unvote, vote jimfinn
Leitz wrote:Just so everybody knows, I'm following this thread daily despite not posting every time. About the Rodion/strike case, it is an unbalanced case based on a mods jokevote. I'm of the belief that safari, seeing he is mod, should be smart enough not to let things slip in posts in other topics about this game so I will not pull to hard on this. Jim and MeDeFe are the most quiet in this game, but jimfinn his posts have not convinced me changing votes. He says he only posts when he gets excited, but after all we've had some claims in D1, some nice activity here on D2 and his arguements just aren't well constructed. Unless he manages to change my mind, my vote stays. MeDeFe will also have to show some more activity and explain his inactivity in the conversations.
Leitz wrote:I find it really suspicious that jimfinn keeps reading, but never responds to any cries for activity. Either he is just hoping to get a medal without any effor or interest in the game, or he is submarining way too obviously, or some other weird reason none of us understand.Basically, I don't see much use of him in this game as he brings no value to it..
Leitz wrote:Ok guys, sorry for my recent inactivitiy. I had a very busy week at school and barely managed to play all my games. I just had time to catch up:
- Unvote (My vote was still on jilmfinn)
- I cannot help but feel suspicious about the rodion - betiko case. I was the first to bring it up on day 1 and have kept it in my mind ever since and I really keep getting the impression betiko is blatantly following Rodions moves, defending him, ... I don't quite know how to react on Rodions claim. Town lost already 2 players so losing another one could be hard for town to get back on top in this game. For now, I will be keeping specifically an eye on betiko (FOS).
Leitz wrote:I agree with everybody else. I believe it is necessary for the game that Rodion should be lynched. There are a lot of people unsure about his claim, he is been an point of discussion from the beginning of this game and although some don't believe in the Rodion case (the scum??), most of us haven't been convinced about Rodion being innocent.
That would leave us deciding one more thing: dazza or chap?
Leitz wrote:Wow, I had some catching up to do while I only missed 1/2 days. The whole strike/Rodion discussion has made it even harder for me to decide who I would like to vote. I think, like the rest of us, it's mostly voting using our instinct as we have no real certainty on anybody. What I do know is that Day 2 has been taking a long long time and it is getting a bit out of control as we are turning in circles for the last week or two (since jimfinns claim).jimfinn wrote:I feel the FoS is the best way to go, so we get two lynches today essentially. We can't not lynch Rodion.
I agree here, although maybe skip the FOS and go to voting immediately.

Activity is good, but the game is stalling. Deadline in 5 days. Day will end on Wednesday, December 21st, Midnight PST.
Person with the highest number of votes will be lynched.
We're letting this drag! Rodion is two votes away, so we either let dazza or chap hammer, correct? I trust neither of them really..

interesting. what you are saying basically is that hammering is getting lynched?
No, I just meant that we must find somebody who we all (most of us) feel comfortable to hammer or find somebody we want lynched.

shieldgenerator7 wrote:jonty125 wrote:Trini, do you understand what it means to be FASTPOSTED? Because from your defense it doesn't seem like it.
Fixed in red for better understandability.
I don't see a case either way between chap and trini. It seems trini and chap have both been inactive and I think trini defended well (if in fact everything he said was true), and chap just ignores his defense. I do believe his case against trini was OMGUS, but I'll have to look into it further, plus find a case.
About last night's kill, I find it very hard to believe there's only one killing role in this game. In the previous game (team CC) there were more than one killing role, the mafia + Com9's role, and JOAT vig shot, meta-gaming leads me to believe there can't be just mafia here. So I suspect either a vig that didn't shoot N1 or some role got roleblocked.

shieldgenerator7 wrote:Alright! I've just caught up this game, and see that many have voted jimfinn for inactivty. Also, I have started making a log of posts and such. After what happened in memebase, I'm determined to get my facts straight.
i too find jimfinn's initial responses funny, but he has since replied to the later cases. Hopefully his activty (and several others') will be good. I'm finding it very difficult to get a read on him.

shieldgenerator7 wrote:Yeah, I was refering to my lynching due to the LAL rule from memebase mafia.
Anyway, I find it suspicous that Rodion is using another language to communicate to players in this game. It's probably game related, as if it wasn't, rodion would probably tell betiko whatever it was in private. right? So I find that suspicious, especially because in Team CC mafia a similar tactic was made with secret code to communicate amongst cult members during the day. VOTE RODION for secret communication.

shieldgenerator7 wrote:Alright! Caught up! About hammering Rodion: obviously Rodion won't hammer himself, there is logic behind it but it may also be a survival tactic. If we have a VT hammer, we lose 1 town bomb and 1 VT, not a big loss except for the fact mafia has a higher chance of hitting power roles at night. We know mafia won't hammer, because there's no way hammering a bomb can help them. Chap and dazza have offered to hammer. Asking either one of them to hammer means (A) we find out if they're bluffing or not, but (B) we would lose 2 townies (as already stated). I would like to FOS chap and dazza, because Mafia could easily offer to hammer the bomb to prove townishness to gain brownie points with the town. More FOS dazza then chap, for being the second offer, and for claiming under no pressure. But yeah we don't want all the VTs to claim right now because Mafia would know who to target at night. And claiming VT is also a very easy claim for Mafia, seeing how there is evidence of VTs being in the game. Strike is not willing to hammer, either because (A)he is a town power role, (B) he is mafia, or (C) he is a survivor. He says he doesn't want to hammer because he thinks we should test chap's offer to hammer, but there might also be an underlying motive for not wanting to hammer. Also, I have some specualtion about night actions (yes, I'm doing exactly what strike and rodion did): It is logical for the busdriver to busdrive Rodion with someone tonight, because then Mafia has a chance of hitting the town bomb instead of a power role. But if the mafia take this into consideration, they might target rodion knowing they'll get someone else. So I advise the busdriver to not busdrive rodion tonight. About betiko and Rodion, I forgot what I said about this earlier, but I don't get the connection. As rodion said, its meta-gaming wifom and not a strong case. But I must say that bomb is a clever fakeclaim from Rodion if he isn't actually bomb. I was disbelieving at first, remembering saf's bomb fakeclaim in teamCC (he ended up being a cultie), but then remembered he actually was town bomb (correct me if I'm wrong), so I don't doubt there would be a bomb again in an official game. Yes, metagaming, but was there a bomb in Futurama? Also I must say it is interesting to see two legendary Mafia members like Strike and Rodion battle each other.

shieldgenerator7 wrote:Ok, don't mean to poison the punch but I don't think we'll get 2 "lynches" in today.
If the person we FOS is scum, he will consider hammering the bomb, and see that if Rodion's claim is true, that he will have a 100% chance of dying. BUt, if he refuses to hammer, then there is a possibility that he may be lynched. This depends on whether or not town believes his excuse for not hammering, and how effectively town can rally a lynch, and how strong it is against Rodion's case.
Now, what if Rodion is fakeclaiming? He seems to be acting and discussing as if he really is the town bomb, and since there has been one in past official games and there has been no counterclaim, I'm inclined to believe him (although I'm pretty gullible when it comes to fakeclaims). But if his claim is fake, then the person we FOS will hammer (let's just assume this) and Rodion will die and we have a cleared townie (or a clever scum who saw thru Rodion's claim).
But I'd say it's more than likely that if we ask someone to hammer it'll be some sort of townie, or maybe some kind of jester role (tho one of those in this game is unlikely), or possibly a bullet proof survivor (IMO unlikely).
So I really Doubt that we'll get to control 2 lynches today, but I think this FOS thing might be helpful in finding scum, or like strike keeps saying, exposing power roles. But any kind of FOS or VOTE pressure in this way has the potential to expose pwoer roles, so.... whatthium do you want us to do strike?!?! NO LYNCH?!?! I really don't see how we can possibly have a lynch without potentially exposing power roles.
....and I think this Rodion case should be dropped for now. In case he is bomb, maybe we can investigate him tonight and see if he's telling the truth... but that opens up a whole new can of beans with busdrivers and all...
Yeah, so I'm still at a loss of where to go next. I don't think pressuring Rodion will help us all that much, so UNVOTE.
And much to strike's disappointment, I say we pursue another lead for now, while keeping Rodion in mind.

shieldgenerator7 wrote:whoa that was a lot of reading. Haven't been online mich and catching up is going to be a chore.
So we have a deadline on the 21st ok.
I FOS Strike because he said he woudln't hammer. I wonder why? Town power role or scum? Never mind I probably should have better grounds for FOSing him.
And whoever said town was in a desperate position right now, I disagree as we have only 2 VTs dead. That does not constitute a big emergency in my mind. Even if a townie hammers rodion and rodion is town, and we lose 2 townies tonight, we still have 12 players left, and only 30% scum (assuming 4 mafia).
However, if we pursue another case we might be able to have 1 mafia die, leaving us with 13 players left tomorrow, and 25% scum. If we pursue another lead and its town, then its 30% scum tomorrow. This is assuming 2 townies die at night.

I've tried to get all of the contributino from Leitz for day 2 and they are quoted below without any comments (for everyone's convenience). Considering the highly active day 2 that we had Leitz said surprisingly little - both in quantity and in substance. It almost seems like a form of active submarining. I haven't seen to many scum tells but then again he hasn't said much to be able to drop many tells overall. certainly one to keep an eye on though.
Leitz, I know nothing about.... and I did searches and did not see him in any other game. If someone could double check that would be great...
