@DRoZ - I am assuming by "fruitless" you mean no one visited your target? Would you care to share who that target was or would you feel better not revealing that info?
While it was unfortunate to lose jak things are at least becoming a bit clearer and "the list" is becoming narrower (4 out of 10 are anti-town among Saf, Jonty, Violet, Soundman, Aage, Jgordon, Nag, Droz, Strike, and Vodean). Jak seemed to trust that Violet was town and while I'm not so trusting as to declare her cleared, she definitely handled early game pressure well and I'd say she is one of the less likely suspects. The same can be said for DRoZ who was similarly pressure and provided a strong watcher claim. I think Aage is a reasonable choice as he was rather late to joining both lynches in addition to the reasons that strike laid out. Since we shouldn't wait around for chap as per the mod's suggestion, I think focusing on the hard evidence we have (i.e. the result of the chap's last investigation) is a wise decision. But as JG said, I'm waiting for a response from Aage.

I did check the rules before posting, I guess I simply missed it. Neither did I know Edoc was using a program to count our votes, which would explain why he missed the vote that was two posts or so above his count. I had noticed that Hensow's no-lynch vote wasn't counted, I figured it needed to be mentioned. I guess that was my mistake.
Post and reaction test. The case at this point would be what we would call weak sauce. Just kind of an odd reaction, to assume that no lynch votes are not counted because you don't see a rule stating that they are when in fact voting no lynch is fairly standard.
I tend to sometimes make mistakes by mixing things up because I don't write notes in a word file. This has happened before, and you probably know it. That's not what happened here though, I phrased poorly and Jak misinterpreted what I said.strike wolf wrote:jak111 wrote:aage wrote:If you don't block votes, explain how you knew about Victor missing his vote two pages before Victor confirmed that?
You.. are sooo far behind bud.. It's been confirmed that I stole his vote.
Jak really proves all I need to say on this one.
Everyone had been assuming that, afaik, which I assumed happened because of something Iliad might have said. Since nobody corrected me on the first post and Iliad wasn't there to correct me, obviously I didn't realise that I was wrong.aage wrote:ChapCrap, why would his role not be confirmed? I thought Edocsil posted a vote count with "victor - ???" in it right after Iliad cast his supposed second vote. In the off chance someone else set it up, we can still deduce that there is a double voter and a vote stealer. Since Iliad claims to have lost his anonymous vote, there is no way he can prove that he cannot cast it.aage wrote:/ wrote:Why do you assume it was the secret vote stolen, strike? I don't believe that was ever confirmed.
Maybe because that's what Iliad said happened?
Admittedly I was mistaken on this one as well but it was never shown by Iliad that it was his anonymous vote that was missing.
Yes, true. Now let's see why you're bringing this up as evidence.strike wolf wrote:aage wrote:chapcrap wrote:aage wrote:chapcrap wrote:aage wrote:Personally I believe that Jak was the one casting the vote, therefore we should assume Jak's alignment is what matters.
Secondly, Jak, you struck VioIet off the list immediately. Why?
No, jak's alignment doesn't really matter. What matters is whether both votes count for him or one counts for VS. Either way, jak's alignment doesn't matter. All that matters is whether or not we need to include VS in the list. My inclination is no because he isn't the one who voted.
Yeah, that is what I said. And because of that we shouldn't care about VS's alignment, but Jak's. If he is scum that would mean he casted 2 of those 4 votes... or at least, that's what I assumed. You never said whether 4 votes or 4 players on the last lynch were anti-town.
Yes I did. I specifically addressed that. Skimmer.
Sorry, I largely ignored the part that wasn't addressed to me. You're right, and I agree. Still, weird response from edoc. Did you ask a question?
The bolded was addressed as Chap said. Admitted skimming in the next post.
So we have a pattern of misconstrued or inaccurate information.
Well, obviously you're not going to find the argument in the post on the page before the vote. The reason I voted can be found in the post directly above it from Sam, who asked that everyone please put their votes on their suspects. Greg was my only current suspect, hence I voted him. After his claim I didn't unvote because his role's name was scum. Not much to explain, not much to ask questions about either if I'm honest here.strike wolf wrote:Next on the list, bandwagon jump:aage wrote:unvote vote greg
Shameless bandwagon jump...well maybe he has reason for it, posted in a different post...aage wrote:strike wolf wrote:YaY! Annoying orange text.

umm not there...
Your first point was that I was not an angel. I agreed. Nothing seems out of context to me. Maybe you disapprove of the structure of my defence... well, then, too bad.strike wolf wrote:aage wrote:strike wolf wrote:This post to me suggests that he is not an angel.
I personally doubt there are many of those, actually. Seven arch angels tops, anyway, and the RCC only recognizes three of those by name. 'Fortunately', however, two of them already died who were not part of those three, so I think we can safely assume seven. Then, as far as I know, all claimed power roles so far are humans (and sometimes dead ones, in which case they are saints). Saying someone isn't an angel isn't as good an argument as you seem to think it is. Hence why I said that figuring the mechanics out is important, and I've been spending most of my time doing that. Obviously all the non-claimed players haven't said anything about their role, but I assume they want us to believe they're angels because those are definitely town and that would keep one out of the lynching spotlight for a little longer. Make no mistakes, though. There are only five more angels in this game if I'm not mistaken.
Kind of out of context. As the full post was designed to prove, It's not so much about you not being an angel. It was more about you not being a human or an angel.
strike wolf wrote:aage wrote:strike wolf wrote:This post seems to confirm that he is not an angel and that he isn't a saint (his posts about Saints suggest he is unsure about what they qualify as in the game. If he was one than he should not have such questions and it most definitely suggests that he's not an angel as he should know whether angels got the saint title or not if he was).
First off, in a large game as this I should never let my own role flavor influence my judgment of others. Secondly, obviously I'm not going to share what I think about my own role when I think Jak made a poor move claiming.
It simply isn't correct according to most webinfo I found that one could be a human, a saint and an angel at the same time, which I even quoted in that same quote you're responding to now: the bit where everyone except (arch)angels are called Saints. That is EOC though, so possibly irrelevant in this game. There are mentions of several "categories" of angels in the RCC article, but seeing there are already so many claimed humans leads me to believe those categories aren't in this game. Yes, I also am not part of any of these categories. I'll gladly admit that I would have never said that on day 1 because I know a lot more about the game now than I did back then. Back then, anything would've been possible and town could've been almost entirely made up of angels (although there'd be the problem of the lack of unknown angelic names), so claiming human would be an anomaly as we saw with Iliad. Right now, I'm pretty sure there aren't a lot of angels, and I'm also pretty sure that it's a bad idea to claim that you are angel since scum has only been eliminating arch angels so far. It seems they don't like them.
The bolded is a BIG conclusion jump. There was one non-lynch death at this point in the game. There's still only one death due to mafia (directly). I would agree that mafia would mostly target arch angels but Aage isn't suggesting that they would here, he's suggesting that they have. Do you know something we don't Aage? How do you know that mafia knew that LSU was an archangel. Couldn't it have been possible that they simply lynched him based on him voting Vodean? For scum to either be framing Vodean or vodean acting as scum to eliminate someone who was suspicious of him? Or even that LSU was targeted because he was an experienced player? Unless you have inside knowledge on the mafia which I believe you do. You shouldn't know this.
It would be pretty stupid of me to spread out my full role without reason. Secondly, D1:strike wolf wrote:I can actually somewhat accept your point about not giving up your exact role specifically (I have to admit that I have to one extent or another behaved similarly in that regard).aage wrote:Why would you say I'm not aligned with town? Because I doubt Violet's clearance?Actually she got the win condition right in that post of hers. I'm simply saying it doesn't prove anything. Any scum can guess town win condition. "Kill all the non town people to win." "Demons probably aren't town." How hard was that? Hence my disbelief, and hence this remark.strike wolf wrote:Finally:aage wrote:@Blake It appears that violet has made a reference to her win condition (probably here) which swayed Jak... although it seems kind of obvious that town will win if all demons are eliminated.
The last part in particular. He assumes but isn't sure? I am not sure about the rest of you but I see fairly clear evidence that Aage is not an angel, he certainly appears not to be town aligned human (I am still unsure to the exact break down on how humans are in this game) so if you aren't an angel and you aren't town aligned. Then you must be scum.
I hope this suffices as explanation. Anything else?
It was the uncertainty and it definitely does appear that you aren't really completely aware in this post:aage wrote:I think it should be mentioned that we shouldn't disregard the possibility that humans and angels have different win conditions, since if the subvert-thing is in the angel role pm but not in the human role pm. It's not in my role pm anyway, I found out about it through Lsu's and jgordon's posts, so I suppose it is also not in Jak's (or violet's, or other claimed humans') role pms.
All of that is not relevant if Jak is lying about his night actions, though. jgordon, you'll have to tell us at least what you found out last night, or you should claim a role/name because at the moment we have only your word for it. Jak is correct to say that you should claim what you know and(/or) what you are before anyone can judge.
While you claim fairly accurately to have the human WC, you show a lot of uncertainty about the specifics.
so putting value at my own role's phrasing has been a bad idea all game long. Vital parts such as whether or not there are "subverts" in this game seem more important since a dead human didn't have it in his PM and a claimed angel does (as did, which I explained yet again earlier, a dead angel).edocsil wrote:Also, one quick note. I would suggest not directly comparing WCs. While it isn't strictly against the rules (I really hate to modkill) I will say that it would be a really bad idea to META it too much.

Jonty, DroZ is a watcher,person X had no visitors. The tracker would tell us if Person X went somewhere.

Fishing for night actions. nope. waiting for chap's action and also hoping that maybe someone else got a guilty result or other valuable info that they would like to share. i guess it is technically action-fishing, but it is not pressuring someone into revealing what they did, just asking if anyone has any valuable intel.
And then of course this one:vodean wrote:jgordon1111 wrote:DRoZ wrote:No one visited my target, but I would not feel comfortable naming who I watched.

well he is fully role-claimed, and even revealed that he gained no info, so he wouldnt be exposing anyone by revealing the information, and so i dont see any reason to hide the information, unless he is hiding something, or believes that his action was messed with (hiding something) for whatever reason. it wont hurt town to know that no one visited someone.
So fishing for night actions twice in the same day. Here's the reason why you feel like you continually get picked on every game vodean. Once we get past the Day 1 stuff, you depend on night actions like a crutch. You expect that we're always going to get night actions that lead us directly to scum every night. Night actions are nice, but we cannot rely on them to lead us to scum every day. Some good, old-fashioned scumhunting is usually necessary. Night actions are a powerful tool, but if wasted by premature claiming, serve very little to us except to paint a bullseye on the people claiming them.
Instead of actually trying to scumhunt, you have taken this victim mentality and attempt to characterize every single case on you as picking on youi never say anyone is picking on me. in fact, i never even blame anyone else for getting lynched. i actually enjoy being under pressure and open. the games in which i am less scummy at times, it is either because i am hiding something or because there is a point i wish to make. the thing that makes me so scummy is that i dont really hide my feelings about cases, like the rest of you. i am open and honest, and you are not used to it. yes, i often give scum-tells because of it, but thats just because i tell what i mean, and not what will make you think i am town. being under the gun allows you to get great insight into what is happening when.. Well maybe it's time to realize that your style of play is very short on substantive evidence and very long on speculation. since substantive evidence is night actions, and most cases are just speculation, then in your eyes i am doing great.
