So we are poised for a lynch. 4 hours to go until timeout.

It is Day 1. 4 hours and 58 minutes remaining

2 Votes for Ampelas ( Fener, Liosan )
1 Vote for Anomandaris ( Ampelas )
4 Votes for Korvalain ( Atrahal, Omtose, Driss, Anthras )
3 Votes for Meanas ( Eloth, Karosis, Korbas )
3 Votes for Korbas ( Anomandaris, Korvalain, Meanas )



I notice there was still an hour on the clock so someone hammered early. In that hour Korbas was around to speak and he could have defended himself somewhat, maybe the lynch would have still gone through but if people are around towards the end then they can at least hold off that final vote.

Korbas is dead. He was Retired Talon and finder(town)

It is now night

The Korvalian train stalled and Korbas bites the dust.

Omtose and D'riss both stuck to their guns and didn't change.

So who caused the lynch to happen.


Eloth, Atrahal, Liosan, Karosis > switched votes to cause the lynch

I'll have a look at their posts and reasons to see if there is any significance to it all.

Well to be fair, it was day 1 and we needed a lynch. No one wants to go without a lynch and there was pressure from everyone on who to go for. Others have already examined the train and poined out that it was the switch of atrahal and eloth that tipped it in favour of korbas. To be fair to both of them, I was always feeling more inclined to korbas than korvalain, while karosis switched twice, first to push korvalain ahead and then to hammer korbas.

I see your point but I disagree somewhat I just had to go away a little while. I think YOU, Atrahal and Eloth made sure Korbas was put down. I'll have some time to go through it but Eloth certainly didn't want Korvalian lynched with his Omtose vote and then swap to Korbas. You could have split the votes but you went and put Korbas at L1 instead.

Eloth's vote of Omtose seems wrong. There was no way at that time an Omtose lynch would go through. Why the vote at that time?

Finally Atrahal's vote. I'm agreeable to his vote as he had his own case or reason for voting Korbas. Yet he did seal Korbas' fate in my opinion

Meanas did this earlier but the votes could have went either way yet Atrahal doing this now at this time made Korbas a certain lynch.

No one could have known korbas was the finder so the idea that three of us (when there are two killers) coordinated to get korbas lynched is preposterous. I cant speak for eloth, but unlike korbas who used the 'i am town' defence not once but twice, korvalain answered the questions put to him and so for me was the less suspicious of the two.

I do wonder to what extent people claiming they're "not going to be back in time for a lynch, so vote X" prompts others to build cases on player X because they know there'll always be a vote on X? Seems like a really good strategy to redirect attention, to me.

I liked Ampelas's reply to my weak case against him, so now I don't think there's anything in it other than an honest mistake / slip of the fingers (oo-er missus). The independent case being built against him by (IIRC) Liosan and others is interesting, but I'm holding fire for now as I'll be here all day.

When it gets to the point were we have 2 hours left and there are two lynch trains, someone voting and leaving means that their vote stays AND we are left with no other option. Whereas if someone votes AND is around then we can change if we decide the lynch target needs to be changed. So for example if Korbas came on and claimed finder, he may have drew a heal during the night but the only option would have been to vote Korv and even that may have been impossible with Meanas and Atrahal both being away considering Korv could have been scum and fellow scum wouldn't have wanted to vote him.

Warning this is sarcasm....WARNING THE BELOW IS SARCASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done sir. You have caught me out. I did want Korbas to go down. I had completely figured out that he was the finder. I also conspired off line with Liosan and Atrahal. We thought about bringing Karosis into the conversation but held off because he isn't mentally stable. The reason you weren't included (which is why your so pissy now) is because you weren't around and have only now seen your in box. The reason that the three of us decided to conspire off line is because we have decided to sabotage all mafia games for ever more. Muhahahahaha. But now you have found us out.

We would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those kids and that darn dog.


END OF SARCASM. THE ABOVE WAS SARCASM



Now I am for analyzing trains but come on. Both Korbas and Korv were tied for a while. I thought that based on the korbas case and his style of play that he was scummier.

At any point during the last several hours Korbas could have said finder and the lynch would have flipped to Korv. Then Atrahal changes his mind. All of this is done only using the day one information until that point. Of course now I would say that Atrahal's well laid out reasons for switching could be a killer deciding to get off of the train that he started or it could be exactly what he is saying.

View PostAtrahal, on 19 June 2012 - 03:47 PM, said:

I was taking a second look, and I'm starting to think my vote needs better placement. Mainly I was looking to see if anyone would try to steer the vote away from Korv, trying to say "this is just a n00b mistake", or "it's only day 1 give the guy a break." I'm not seeing many necks stretched in support of Korv. I do, however, see some activitiy around Korbas


View PostOmtose, on 19 June 2012 - 12:24 PM, said:

I don't get a scum vibe from Korbas. Scum can be abrasive, but it tends to be a non-committal abrasive. Korbas actually threw his vote around. I could be wrong of course, but I think I'd need a little more to switch my vote at this juncture.

I would, however, be willing to vote Eloth. Karosis AKA Mac played a pretty low posting first couple of days in our last M&P, and that left me a little disinclined to ignore the lower posters.


Omtose seems to be gently redirecting. Not voting so as not to get the "WTF it's almost the end of the day" response. However, Omtose does put in enough of a threat in pointing out Mac's play in the last M&P to make the danger real enough to give pause. Realize, as well, Omtose's vote is sitting on Korv...

No, seriously. I'm pretty sure Fener's just upset because I said he didn't exist and Karo is trying to mimic the alt's last owner with the whole "wanna get a lynch" thing (while somehow simultaneously sounding like some kind of n00b...that sort of logic is about as sound as the logic that got Fener lynched endlessly, LOL!) and...I don't even know who else joined my first-ten-hours lynch train. :rolleyes:

Right, have I covered all the bases? Does it sound "defensive" and "worried" enough? XD


The rest of your game I felt was unlucky given some odd random voting but saying 'i am town' is like saying 'oh i bet i get night killed' or voting for night. It just rings false for everybody and people should know better. Strangely korbas also did that, and his felt equally sarcastic.

There's no good reason as far as you know that you shouldn't vote me. Im T-totally town though, its the truth.



An interesting connection pointed out here Liosan. I like what you are thinking. I would be curious why these two were so blatant in their statements of citizenship when there really wasn't much pressure on them at the time of declaration.

One more interesting note on Korb:

If I'm reading it right, Amp has two votes, Meanas has three, and Omtose, Korvalain and Ano have one each.

Sure Korbas, do what you like, but don't expect to not get called on it when it looks dodgy. I personally would have preferred a bit more discussion before putting someone halfway to a lynch, especially with 20 hours of day to go.


If wanting to obtain some information with a day one lynch looks dodgy, then sue me for dodginess. Putting someone halfway to a lynch isn't like I'm dropping the hammer or anything. I have a busy night tonight and possibly day tomorrow. I wanted to lay down a vote in case I didn't get a chance to come back, which obviously wasnt the case thus far. I dont expect not to get called out on it, but if I do then I'll give the same reasoning for this vote each time. We needz some infoz.


The comment about needing info caught my eye. He said this right after trying to defend and push his vote on Meanas. Kind of an odd statement when you are clinging to a "joke" vote.

Remove Vote
Vote Korbas




View PostKorbas, on 19 June 2012 - 03:53 PM, said:

Ok I'm awake and caught up. For everyone who wanted reasoning for my vote I will say it one last time. I voted becasue at the time there was no info, I didn't know if I would be able to be back before a lynch, and I didn't want to not vote for the day. That being said, there are some interesting cases abound now.

Remove Vote


The D'riss case(not much of a case really just a muck up) really stuck out to me because a few games ago I did the exact same thing, only I was a killer. I was in the mindset that I knew who was town and didn't care who got lynched, forgot who I was voting for, and removed my vote then put it back on the same person. In that game people jumped all up on my shit about it, but it was also not day 1 so there should have been actual reasoning behind the first vote when there really wasn't that much. I don't think D'riss is scum because of this since it's day 1, it just caught my eye while reading (nostalgia).

I wouldn't feel right voting for Eloth as a super-low poster, especially now that he's become a bit more active.

The case that I currently think has the most merit is the Korv case. He's totally playing it smooth, his defenses were, indeed, rather vague and didn't really address the issue. I'll put him at L-1 with a few hours left and see what goes down.

Vote Korvalain


Even with Atrahal's switch both Korv and Korbas are still tied. Their were several of us on who had said that we could switch. Korbas doesn't reveal. We have no reason to think about switching.

Let's see how this goes then!


All of that on a train that YOU started on player who turned out to be a finder. Now what have we learned. Well the main thing to me is that you shouldn't be allowed to build cases as somehow you have a nose for lynching the finder. :) Really the only thing that we have learned is that Liosan put Korbas over Korv. But even then the vote was close enough that if Korbas had offered a reason not to lynch him it would have flipped over to korv. There really isn't anything more in the train then that.

The reason that the three of us decided to conspire off line is because we have decided to sabotage all mafia games for ever more. Muhahahahaha. But now you have found us out.

We would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those kids and that darn dog.


END OF SARCASM. THE ABOVE WAS SARCASM



Now I am for analyzing trains but come on. Both Korbas and Korv were tied for a while. I thought that based on the korbas case and his style of play that he was scummier.



While I agree that the suggestion that the final three votes on Korbas were all scum is rather unbelievable, I think the sarcasm is a bit unnecessary. I don't think it is a stretch to suggest that you had ulterior motives for your vote on Korbas. It is certainly easy after the fact to say that you were going for the one who looked scummier, but at the end of the day scum is actively avoiding scummy behaviour, so to vote for the scummier player is rather going for the obvious route.

You also haven't really addressed the issue surrounding your vote on Omtose. Why did you initially vote for Omtose after saying that the Korbas lynch did't look like it was going anywhere?

I really do think we were onto some things on day 1. I would point out that we did pick up on genuine aberrant game play, unfortunately the result of RT being a very nervous finder.

So thought experiment. What is the scum MO for day 1?

This is what I'm trying to work through at the moment. If you are paired scum, you have a partner who has your back and you know there is at least one other person, a faithful symp, who knows who you and your partner are and will either follow your lead or protect you by diverting attention. With this in mind, what level of confidence would we expect in scum at the start of the game, when everything is tentative and several RIs are prone to misbehaving for various reasons (such as getting a reaction like Khells or just having fun with things like dragonsecks)?

This is where the middle-posting theory comes in, which is just that, a theory. Scum don't want to stand out too much, and mafia players are prone to lynch someone who is too crazy out of sheer annoyance. So I wouldn't expect scum to stand out too much. And low posters are a wild card, but Day 2 often shows who remains a low poster and who was waiting for material to analyze (e.g. Amp).

So currently, my middling pool of suspects includes Eloth, D'riss, and Omtose.

Eloth is suspect in my books for his vote for Omtose and prompt retraction of said vote to go with the lynch train. That and his stated willingness to switch votes to get a lynch. Helpful, and also potentially indicative of knowing both suspects are RI, and either dead would do just fine for scum.

D'riss is playing a fine game, one which I feel resonance with. Challenging people's accusations, trying to think outside the box, and not accepting things at face value. The only problem here is that this is exactly how I would play as scum...

Omtose, one of my primary issues with him is his unquestioning acceptance of the case on Korv (doesn't care? knew he was inno anyways). To quote "That's as good as it gets on Day 1. Why not?" This and his defense of Korb (easy to defend someone when you know they are inno) send up red flags. He's not playing badly, it's that he is playing exactly how we'd expect a day 1 townie to play (unsure, helpful, and easily swayed by poor cases because it doesn't matter on day one anyways :rolleyes:)

Vote Omtose

Good summary from you.

From the wording of your post we should keep a look on Liosan in case he pulls that sort of thing again, and Atrahal also looks a little suspect but nothing overtly scummy stands out.

Yet you clear yourself.

Why did you vote Omtose then change almost straight away?

Eloth's vote of Omtose seems wrong. There was no way at that time an Omtose lynch would go through. Why the vote at that time?


So your saying that there is a wrong time to build a case on someone. Why? Is Omtose your master? Are you trying to deflect my attention away from him. Well it won't work. I shall go right back after him now.



This is so, so weak. Deflection and OMGUS-ing, and a complete failure to address the question, which was completely reasonable.
