Either way, I'm here till tomorrow afternoon and I don't know if I can check in from the Ukraine, but I doubt it.


I'm so jealous! What games you gonna see?

Also: The mod needs to specifically prod Leehar, and give us a vote count.


Watching Denmark - Portugal and then Denmark - Germany. Going to the pub in a few to see Ireland have a crack at it too.

I'm contacting the mod to check if he has a reserve ready. Though at this pace, no one will realise that I'm gone for a week :roll:


Nice one, must be pretty happy with the first result! Yous actually have a decent shout of getting through now, which would be a miracle.

I'm still confused why Ragian would want to travel all the way to the Ukraine just to watch a bunch of European soccer teams tie a lot of times, but whatever.

This game is starting to tire me with the length it is being dragged on for. Vote Leehar. He's had the chance TODAY to stop in and talk (He's playing active games), so while others may not agree, he's had more than enough time.

As far as I recollect, I didn't actually get prodded, but nonetheless I do apologise for disappearing for the last couple of weeks.

Got busy in exams, and it was too much of a chore to catch up.

I can't guarantee I'll read back the last 20 pages, but I can pledge to stay active going forward, for whatever use that can be considering I'm on l-1 apparently?

Also, as Pmc will attest (despite his mistaken assumptions that because his 9 2hour exams are over, so are the rest of ours), I stopped starting games over a month ago, and was only concentrating on clan games. I apologise for dropping this and not the clan games, but I had to prioritise and unfortunately mafia games (this one and matrix) wasn't at the top of my list.
Again, I'm on holidays now, so there shouldn't be a need to bug out of this for a fair few months yet, but I'm curious how you accepted vodeans explanation for my absence in matrix but not here?

He's at L-1, and I will Unvote, although new guy's comment is odd because there was nothing stopping Leehar from claiming anyway.

So were people voting me because they thought I was scummy? Or because they wanted to spur me back into the game?
I don't mind claiming, since it's obv > than death, but if the only reason to vote for me was because I was inactive, and I have committed to stay active henceforth, then?

If the consensus that people would still want a claim from me (rather than lynching an inactive), I'll be glad to oblige, so I guess keep me at l-2 until later today to show that intent? (It's after midnight so just want some others to see my 'I'm alive' speech)

I haven't read up the last 20~ pages yet, but there must be a real dearth of cases if we're still chasing inactives D3?

You have a lot of reading to do.

Summary:
1) Doom thinks new guy is scum for awkward phrasing day 1
2) Rodion thinks doom is scum for directing the vig
3) pmc thinks Rodion is scum? Not sure if that was the end result, but those two ripped into each other
4) saf seemed neutral on everything and suggested an inactive case
5) that lead us to you; we have pretty much discussed everything else to death, but feel free to offer input on the previous cases

Those unvotes are cute, but being that Leehar was L-1ed for almost 19 hours (18 hours and 58 minutes between Jak's unvote and Everywhere's unvote), if he is town and if mafia has a vote stealer, odds are he has already been hammered.

The question now is: should we assume the vote stealer is mafia and force Leehar to claim (because in this scenario either Leehar is an already hammered townie or mafia)?

Well we can thereby assume that Leehar is mafia, so it doesn't matter what his claim is. We now just wait on the next votecount/update from ghostly and if Leehar is still alive, kill him.

In the meantime, Leehar can claim though, it will give us something to discuss.

If it is a vote stealer, I believe he can use the vote.

It may not be a "vote stealer"/"politician", however. To that extent I've seen "silencer" (Soundman's First) and "rapist" (Memebase), but both had other mechanics besides merely blocking someone's vote.

Like you said we don't know if the vote stealer gets to use this vote or just disables it and also the stealer could have not noticed or been quite inactive. Although I think it is a decent line to go down as it will also give us information on the person doing the stealing. I would like to say if the vote stealer really is town they should come forward and claim now because we are relying on him being mafia for any of this to be said.

I think Lee should claim though.

Eh? This vote stealer isn't in the summary, so where'd it come from and why does everyone think there is one? I don't remember it from before I was gone.

Anyway, since the consensus is mostly to claim, and no one doesn't want me to, might as well.

On what evidence did you kill dazza? You didn't mention the chuck last night? Was that you or no?
Rodion earlier had predicted that only Ragian would have killed dazza.

Also, the vote stealer came by both in why I think new guy is scummy and why Rodion thinks I am.
So, Rodion thinks I was scummy in directing you, but apparently you completely missed it anyway, so everything is a moot point.

I would still like to hear why you killed dazza, and I think it is probably best for you to catch up. Reread the end of day 2 and the first few pages of day 3 at least.

See, Rodion, this is the problem when you assume perfect play and act accordingly. Clearly, normal play is not perfect.

Unvote for now. I would say I believe the claim although there are still some questions.

I don't believe this. Why on earth did you shoot night 1 as a vig and why dazza, you seem to know yourself that this is not a good town play. I believe you probably shot dazza but it is far more likely that you did it as an SK rather than a vig.

Leehar wrote:I think whether it's a sk or vig is largely irrelevant. He benefited town so he's cool in my book, and all we should do is remind him (if he's vig) that it isn't usually good to kill because there's greater chance of hurting town than helping when the odds are against and only to kill when there's a strong scum-vibe as Saf said yesterday. tbh tho it isn't really dissimilar to the D1 kill that we did yesterday which seemed to be killing for the sake of killing.
And since dazza was on that wagon as well, we can presume that scum so that as an easy lynch as long as it wasn't them?


The bold part sounds like you know the score, and the rest sounds like pre-emptive excuses for killing him. The only thing that is working for you is the different MOs on the kills nights 1 and 2 but unless you have a good solid reason for the NK you will get my vote back. You never even voiced suspicions about dazza during the day either.

Interesting. Leehar's actions seem to clash with his own in-game attitudes and beliefs about what a vig should do, and also his suspect killing of dazza without voicing any concerns about him. On the other hand, Dwight D. Eisenhower is a character I would absolutely assume to be in this game, and so is an extremely brave and risky fake-claim if it is one at all.

I will say that Leehar has a minefield to navigate in front of him if he wants to keep votes off his back.

The only thing that is working for you is the different MOs on the kills nights 1 and 2 but unless you have a good solid reason for the NK you will get my vote back. You never even voiced suspicions about dazza during the day either.

Of course I know the score, because everyone seemed pretty vigorous on that being a bad move, despite my luck in catching a mafia, so seemed like I should just confirm/clarify the point that I shouldn't kill as vig without actually outing myself.
Also, while you can think of those as preemptive excuses, that honestly was the reasoning that I used to kill him.
While there was also an element of gut feel, I was pretty confident that Mafia would have bandwagoned on to a good guy, so since I thought it was also unlikely that they'd start a wagon, or be on the end of it to hammer, I was looking for someone in the middle, that was also submarining somewhat. Doom, chuck and pmc seemed to fit the bill of activeness, and indeed got some heat upon themselves as well (at least doom and chuck in d1, not sure about pmc), so I felt safe in targetting dazza.
Also, running through my mind was that anyone comfortable enough in bandwagoning onto a blue guy kill 50 pages after it was first opined, had blood on their hands and would be as culpable as me if I did err and killed townie myself.

Fortunately I didn't, and listened the consensus that I shouldn't have targetted night 1, so even if I didn't go inactive before N2, I still wouldn't have killed anyone (and perhaps why I was content to stop paying attention to this thread since I wouldn't need to do any night action for a while). So yes, it wasn't me who spilt blood night 2 since I was inactive before then anyway.

Secondly, I don't know how to dispel these accusations that I'm an sk, but the best I can come up with (other than the whole I don't use knives) is that I am content to take one for the team. Plus, no one has lent any doubt upon my name credentials, and I think I've seen my name mentioned in one of the scenes, so if you really think I'm third party (as eisenhower), you're well and truly bonkers.

Also, if you still are content to lynch me, something else to consider is that you can't deny that having someone with firepower at night other than mafia should truly be useful, so I'd opine that only mafia will be wanting to kill me as I'm the only person capable of harming them while they do their dirty business at night. (And as I am the only one to have harmed them thus far)
