[Silanah]

Oh dear, oh dear... As the person in question is sitting right beside me now, that has to be the worst case of overreacting I've seen recently. Korvalain is jumping at shadows, and Gamelon and Galain seeming to take to it seems to me to be awfully suspicious...
vote Galain
Because I doubt Korvalain is that jumpy a killer, but Meanas seems to be taking his cue from Galain. Call it OMGUS, but seems far more suspicious to me than a reference to a real-life partner.

[Gamelon]

Silanah? You are talking about me, correct? Point me to the posts that imply I am paired, if you would. I have been rather busy over the last day, and I think I've posted about three times; so an effort by a killer/symp to make me look paired ALREADY is rather annoying.
So, Shadow and Kessobahn, right. Give me a minute.

Err, no one is believing korvalains case, i think he was signalling you and others jumped to your defense. Blame your bad symps for your votes.

D'riss, on May 5 2009, 06:06 AM, said:

My personal interpretation:

Korvalain placed a vote with a peculiar explanation. He claimed that Silanah's "slip" (I quote that because it's nothing close) indicated he had a partner. I noticed this after skimming through several pages, saw that several people mentioned it, an (egregiously) assumed there was legitimate thought/agreement. My remark about it is over-reacting, I guess, and some might construe this post to be the same. I'm unsure how to refute that since this is how I'm accustomed to posting. =/

Afterward, Kessobahn semi-agreed with me. Think about it for a sec: someone pointed out a clue that could lead to an inno pair, a prime target for an NK. The same thing happened last game or the game before I think, and I don't recall it helping anyone.

Korvalain over-reacted (see what I did there?) to my response's phrasing and put a vote on me. Others followed suit.

Shadow voted for me and insisted on mentioning that Silanah was less suspicious than I was. Some have considered that potentially scummy.


Honestly, most of the shit raining down on me at the moment is people blowing up my somewhat exaggerated wording to epic proportions. But hey, you're welcome to reread it and make your own judgments.

(Prepared for huge x-post).

Good god, what a dissembling post. If anything, this makes me happier with my vote. "Someone pointed" and "some considered" ? Way to make it as vague as possible! "several people" "someone" "some might construe"

Then you refer to some prior game, but you're not sure which game and don't bother going into any details. But the one thing you're clear about iin the post is that everyone is "blowing things up" and "exaggeration".

I have to go, I'm a bit disappointed by Silanah's recent posts, I was waiting for him to see if I should keep my vote.

My case is around and not hard to follow, but for those who only skim (quite a few, it seems)

1) D'riss over-reaction to a semi-joke vote by Korvalain on Silanah, as if he felt he needed to "diffuse" the pressure quickly
2) Kessobahn saying "innos have lovers too", as if the "partner" case had any validity. It's like he knew that Silanah had a partner indeed and tried to defend him by saying "Err, well, he's paired, but so are some innos, right?". That Kesso post was bizarre, then he disappeared.
3) Someone once said "Vote D'riss, though I'm less suspicious of Silanah". I have no idea what it means, but once again someone feels the need to mention Silanah is less suspicious for some reason, as if he ever really was.

That's it and all, maybe it's all wrong interpretations and nothing but coincidences and akward wordings, but that's what I saw until now.

Will be back soon.

You know i would add that it looked like korvalain made a poor case citing silanah and his partner possibly to prove to silanah that he knew they had a partner (ie he was pointing out his sympish status) and then when driss rubbished the case he jumped out to say it wasnt a case before it picked up steam. We then had then had those others jump in.

remove vote

vote silanah

Thats stronger than my case on ruse.

I know that it is hard being a member of the town, but it seems like many people arent trying very hard to participate in the game, hopefully things pick up soon.

In the red: We have a convoluted case based on defences of a very bad case. That, to me, is just trying to find an excuse. Lord, I found it hard to even understand his argument, there.
In the blue: Seems like he's trying to say "I'm town", and then"follow me."
So, I dislike that... Seems sympish, to me. Saying I'm town is a subtle way to make himself seem very inno if he comes up "Inno/symp".
So, I'm gonna vote for Galain, because this seems like a totally fabricated way to follow someone else's very vague, non commital suspicions.

Again, writing style. Just finished writing a research paper last night, sue me.

On the other hand, you want specifics? You, Korvalain, and Shadow have more or less reacted in the exact same way here. As for the prior game, it's either last game or the game before. Seeing as how I got more or less shafted both games, I don't recall exactly which one it was. Someone outed an inno pair, and there was a huge shitstorm stirred up about it.

Now, this class + internet access is over...back, depending on the weather, in 5-8 hours.

Mistakes are made in games. None of us knows each others roles.
The less talk about inno role distribution THIS GAME the better.

[Korlat]

In RL news I am in the process of possibly buying a house. So there might be longish periods were I won't be able to get on. I have informed Tapper of this so that isn't a problem. I will be able to participate every day but probably not with the amount of content that you are used to from me.

Now back to the cases so far. I am waiting with baited breath for meanas mr/ms average case. I think that the case on Silanah is one of the weakest day one cases ever, and that is saying a lot considering most of the day one cases are total bullocks. Really I haven't seen anything worth lynching anyone over. Even for a totally random day one case. Korv's has been able to get reaction from people, but none of the reaction seems to me to be over the line or even strong defenses of people. After the last game it seems as if people are going out of their way not to defend people. You don't know if that person you are defending is going to turn out to be scum.

As for the day being slow, games that have a lot of people are always slow at the beginning. It can't be helped. I don't think that this game is any slower then any other day one game with 23 people. I guess I will look at some more houses then try to do a reread of the game.

I agree, with the side note that if you (D'riss) are inno, then Shadow looks bad IMO. Just trying to gage info here, and your direct rebuttal to my point raises further questions. You don't remember which game outed a pair of innos, but YOU DO KNOW that you were shafted both games. Pulling for sympathy? That's the second time you've subtly disassembled in your posted defense.

My personal interpretation:

A. Korvalain placed a vote with a peculiar explanation. He claimed that Silanah's "slip" (I quote that because it's nothing close) indicated he had a partner. I noticed this after skimming through several pages, saw that several people mentioned it, an (egregiously) assumed there was legitimate thought/agreement.

D.Shadow voted for me and insisted on mentioning that Silanah was less suspicious than I was. Some have considered that potentially scummy.

A. My explanation wasn' peculiar. It stated that of all the things up to that point weren't suspicious, except for the use of the term "partner." I voted. Guess what happened, the thread blew up. As to you skimming several pages and seeing that several people mentioned it. I would like for you to go back and actually read the thread. Korlat said "D'riss should watch it with Silanah's partner." Omtose said "get in line baby". That was all that was said about it. Nothing about the peculiararity, just some jokes. Having said that, were I guessing, I would assume that Korlat was signaling Driss and Silanah that he is there symp. Although thats a stretch.

B. But you forgot to think that if little 'ol me could see it, it had to be obvious. Correct me if I',m wrong, but doesn't part A. of your quote say that several others saw it and disregaurded it, as did you. Well, then that means that me bringing it to the fore front didn't actually do any damage, since I wasn't the only one to notice it, right?

C. I didn't over-react. You called me basically an idiot for calling out possible paired innos. I just explained that your post was scummy, and voted accordingly.

D. This solidifies my point of you being scummy. You have now tried to draw attention to Shadow for his post and a case made by someone else, to get the heat off of you.

Korv, it sounds like you don't like D'riss, but are voting Silanah. Maybe I'm a moron, (and I've read over your previous explanation) but I'm still not getting why you are voting Silanah and not D'riss, especially after your last post.

[Meanas]

Ok, here's my scientifick mathagrammatical analysis to find the most averagiest poster of all - which is quite clearly a sign of pure evil.

And the answer is......Path-Shaper?!?! No, only kidding Although PS was pretty average, but then we all already know our mod is pure evil.

I have only looked at the posts from before my stated intention to do this - as after that, evils may have tried to do stuff to take themselves out of the average group.

First, I looked at number of posts in order to straight away take out the highest and lowest posters from the equation (after all, they wouldn't be average, now would they. By the way, at the time of analysis lowest poster was Tennes with 1, and highest was Ruse with 35. If you want to know all the numbers and things, let me know....). So, we had 246 posts up to and including mine stating I would do this. The average/mean number of posts from 25 (including PS) people is almost 10 posts. Widening that bracket by 3 to each side in order to account for some variability in this, those people who had between 7-13 pretty average posts were:

Barghast
D'riss
Emurlahn
Gamelon
Korvalain
Serc
Shadow
Silanah
Tellan

I then looked at the median average. This worked out as 8 posts. Now, four people had 8 posts, and another 4 had 9 posts. No other post quantity numbers came up this frequently, so it's a good number of posts to not stand out in. One of these people was Path-Shaper, so we'll discount him. The others were:

D'riss
Emurlahn
Gamelon
Korvalain
Serc
Shadow
Tellan

So that narrowed it down a little more. Ok, so then I moved on to a content analysis of these average posters. Here it goes:

D'riss had 8 posts:

Post 1.

Sooo....................................

Seeing as how I never saw TPB, what exactly happens? The extent of my knowledge includes the whole WIFOM thing and I believe there's some Zorro dude in the movie.

Since apparently that gives us a clue about how many scum we'll be dealing with.

This is D'riss' very first post. And the first thing he does is start questioning scum numbers. Helpful, or wanting to gauge people's beliefs for other purposes?

2. Answers a question regarding the film.
3. No content, joke with regards to Silanah's partner.
4. Carries on the joke.
5. No content, joke.

Now that I've gotten some food...tbh the case with silanah is far from substantial. Now, my continued hunger (typing as I eat) is probably impairing my judgment, but I'm inclined to leave that as only a last-resort option. Besides that, I imagine that at least half our paired guys are inno, so it's not necessarily best to charge straight in and attack someone on suspicion they're paired.

States he doesn't like the Silanah case, and this is also the post which has gotten him into some trouble over possible inno pairing speculation. As we saw above, not the first time that numbers/roles speculation has been voiced by D'riss.

7. Defends himself from Shadow.
8. Makes fun of Shadow. I'll return to this when I get to an analysis of Shadow.

Next, Emurlahn, who has 8 posts:

1. Is the first to post after PS officially started the game, is eager, no content.
2. No content.
3. No content, talking about the film. But, I will put this post below because it will come up again a bit later.

Kessobahn, on May 4 2009, 07:27 PM, said:

really? Rodents?

I believe the rodent in question is of unusual size.

Here's where the earlier post by him comes in. He claimed not to know the film very well, and yet here he is commenting on a specific aspect of it. I don't know the film very well myself, so perhaps someone else can tell me how well known this would be. To further weaken this point, I am also unsure as to why someone would pretend not to know the film - unless it was to be used later in some sort of fake-reveal with a dubious character....I don't know, the more I write this the more it's a bullshit point. Ignore this.

8. Removes the vote on Telas as the rhyming has stopped. Most/all of his posts were from quite early in the game, i.e. the much less serious part.

Next, Gamelon, with 8 posts also:

1. First post, just checking in, asks a non-game related question.

Seems appropriate somehow.

Edited to add: I just noticed I'm all alone. :sniffles:

Signaling your symps much?

Well just reread the thread, and this has to be the best catch of day one. Although unlike tellan i think you are a symp signalling your master so voting for you seems appropriate.

vote ruse

The korvalain, driss and silanah mixture is very odd as well, because reading through it did seem like korvalain made a case on silanah for using the word partner then exploded when driss rubbished the case. For the moment though i think Ruse is the better bet for catching a symp as reading the opening scene it seems clear that the prince is the baddie, along with vinnizi?? vinzini? vinnie? whatever the scililians real name is.

Jumps on Tellan's accusation of Ruse as symp, builds on it and puts his vote down.

3. Answering Ruse.
4. Continues to question Ruse regarding the possible 'symp signal'.
5. Says his fears regarding Ruse have been somewhat alleviated but keeps his vote on Ruse anyway.
6. Again, answering Ruse.
7. Defends his opinion on this again.
8. Answers Ruse's query regarding some confusion over Gamelon's previous post. So, in conclusion, Gamelon's pretty much all about his to and fro with Ruse.

THe only thing I really found was his use of the word "partner" and the subsequent catch by, I forget who, that saw him lurk.

Votes with his very first post, on Silanah, for possible suspicious use of word 'partner' and for lurking.

2. Posts the quote where Silanah talked of partner.
3. Answers a query by myself regarding his suspicion - stands by his opinion that it's odd.

This isn't scummy at all. Coming in and saying my vote is a "case". And then saying that my reasoning is flawed because I mention the remark, thereby discrediting me, and any future reference I make. Kind pisses me off actually. Taking a single vote on a person and turning it into a solid case. Then saying that said case is rubbish.

Why do you feel the killers are stupid and me "pointing out" a partner "code" revealed that info to them? Geez. I thought I was the dumb one. Now I see that I must be a freaking GENIUS!

His first, and last, post with some kind of content. Gives an opinion on existing suspicions but doesn't add anything new, and also indirectly perhaps explains why he hasn't done that much thus far, i.e. school commitments.

Yeah, when I responded to D'riss the second time, I didn't look over and see who it was - because he was answering my question about him. Which looks more like an awkward deflection towards Silanah.

It's D'riss I'm suspicious of, and I'm not sure if he realizes it, or if he's deliberately pretending to misunderstand.

A slight accusation here that D'riss' claims of confusion may not be for real, and are in fact aimed to put attention back on Silanah. So Shadow is continuing to go with the D'riss thing.

This sounds a slightly weird thing to say. Almost makes me think of a killer gloating over and looking forward to night when they really go and do their work. It's the "trust me" bit that sounds a bit sinister to me.

Well, I'm headed to bed.

So,

Vote D'riss

Something not right with him, I think. Though I'm less suspicious of Silanah, whom D'riss seems willing to deflect to.

And his final post, the one that made eyebrows perk up a little bit - the I'm not really sure what it is, but I'd better lay my vote down. Although, to be fair, this vote doesn't come out of the blue, he's questioned D'riss previously.

And, finally, Tellan, with 9 posts:

1. No content (talks about film)
2. No content (talks about films in general)
3. Rhyming, wondering if those others who are rhyming are in fact coding somehow.
4. Rhymes again.
5. No content, posts pictures with regards to the film.
6. No content (about the pics again)
7. Responds to a Telas comment about the mechanics of rhyming, so, no content.
8. Posts his thoughts on 36 hour days making play slow - this is what prompted Shadow's comment above.

In unrelated news, I like how my tab at the bottem of the screen for this window says "Mafia 45 - The Prince" which makes me think of Machiavelli rather than The Princess Bride.

Seems appropriate somehow.

Edited to add: I just noticed I'm all alone. :sniffles:

Signaling your symps much?

His final post since I started my analysis - points fingers at Ruse but doesn't really explain, although Gamelon goes on to follow this up.


Ok, so there's the posting. Now, my thoughts: I am going to exclude Korvalain straight away as whilst his post count was average, his content was not. Accusations, pushing, few posts, but almost all in the spotlight. Not average.
The next person I'm excluding is Gamelon, as except for his first post, they've all been about toing and froing with Ruse - not average to get involved/vote on the highest poster, and being the first to throw their vote on them.
The next person I'm excluding is D'riss, because, although he appears to have questioned distribution and mechanics, I think the Korv thing has been blown up out of proportion - which makes Shadow's support of it all the more interesting.

So that leaves Emurlahn, Serc, Shadow, and Tellan.

Serc has by far the least content of the averages, but is this in itself average? Would an evil trying to be average try and be a bit more consciously 'useful' than Serc? That's what I think.

Tellan is the next least-contentless one. That highlighting of Ruse without real explanation is suspicious to me, I don't like finger-pointing without an explanation. He has also attempted to suggest that those rhyming were coding, but in a jokey way (i.e. whilst rhyming himself), perhaps not to seem too serious and continue to fit in?

Emurlahn, most serious thing he has done is post a joke-vote on Telas for rhyming. He also felt he needed to explain why he voted in a later post. However, he hasn't really been seen since the jokey portion of play ended. Hardest to judge, this one.

And finally, Shadow, two posts of no content, one post doubting Silanah case, three doubting D'riss, and two having to sort out some confusion over what he actually meant.
The D'riss case was, at the time of Shadow's leaving, the *ahem* strongest-seeming, case. Shadow started off with some fitting-in posts, moved on to a pseudo-content post by questioning the already shaky accusation of Silanah, and then backed up the person he'd questioned (Korvalain) in their new target, D'riss, by continuing the line of thought that Korvalain had expounded. He then votes with a proviso, before leaving. Hmm, that's pretty godamn average!!!!

Vote Shadow


Emurlahn, Serc and Tellan are also on the radar. And yes, I do realise how very subjective my analysis is.

didnt realise i had been so single minded. Oh well, work is over, home time, until later folks.
